Trying to fix a friends Vibrant...
He was running jk6 software when the phone bricked itself in his pocket (?).
Now, the only thing we can do is access download mode by holding down the power button.
If I run Odin, and try to start up the phone into download mode, none of the COM Ports detect the phone, even though he is in download mode. Conventional methods don't work (Starting up ODIN, Plug in USB, hold down volume buttons). Only way I access download mode is by holding the power button down.
Any Help?
Try switching to a different USB port.

You need to make sure the computer has the usb drivers installed. Simple plug and play won't work. Its good you can get into download mode. Look in the bible sticky and download and install the usb drivers. Also if its windows vista or 7, when you open odin don't double click it. Right click and run as administrator. Also, make sure you open odin first before you connect the phone to the computer. Good luck.

Drivers have already been installed.
I can access download mode perfectly using my Vibrant and ODIN recognizes it, but when i plug my friends Vibrant in, thats when the problems happen.
For the record, when I plug my friends Vibrant into the USB port..a message pops up saying that one of the usb devices attached has malfunctioned (Code 43). I'm thinking this is directly related to ODIN not recognizing it (although it recognizes mine)
If you can reach download mode fear not its not an issue with the phone its definitely a problem with the drivers or maybe even try a different usb cable.
Yea, but I can only reach download mode. Phone will not boot into recovery, or even start up, just download mode lol. And i dont think its the USB, seeing as how i can plug in my other Vibrant and odin detects it immediately (on the same computer).

Well if the very same usb cable and port recognizes your phone (I'm assuming you both have the same exact phones) and odin recognizes your phone and not his, then his usb port on his phone must be where the problem lies... Try looking it, or even opening your phone and cleaning his usb port or something. Or try a different computer. if you can get into download mode don't worry, you'll find a way to fix your phone.
Still having the same problems. Tried a different USB cable, different computer running Odin...no luck. Only my computer detects that the phone even exists by shooting me an error saying that the device has malfunctioned. Phone just stays in download mode...Odin doesnt detect it. I've tried different methods to have ODIN detect it and still nothing.
Had to go through this too, but didn't have another phone in download mode to test against.
Win7 x64, tried a bunch of different drivers, but in the end was running the ones that come with Samsung Kies. In my case it ended up working without the original samsung cable (just a generic one), and with a USB port hanging right off my motherboard at the back of my tower. I have two USB ports on the front of my tower and they always errored, no matter what combinations I tried (including the same cable and driver). But when I switched to a port at the back, I got past the malfunctioning USB device error. Also, it seemed like Odin likes to be running when the phone boots into download mode. This took hours but phone runs perfectly now.
Okay im running windows xp, and i have all those drivers installed...
http://www.userdrivers.com/PDA-Mobil...dows-XP-Vista/
and http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
so what am i missing to get my vibrant to be recognised by odin in download mode????
What are you running currently?
simply honey 3.6..... gingerbread
By chance did you forget to enable usb debugging?
idk, i flashed from a 2.2.1 rom to simply honey 3.6 through rom manager, but i did have it enabled through before i flashed for sure.... And usb debugging is not required for download mode as (i think) thats a whole different thing???
It needs to be enabled to use Odin. Also, sometimes for Odin to see my phone I have to unplug my phone and open Odin a few times before I finally get Odin to see my phone. It's very finicky for me, always has been

Go into windows device manager. Make sure that your computer is even seeing the device and that it has recognized the drivers for it. If it recognizes it, try rebooting computer then restart the process. Also make sure your phone is actually in DOWNLOAD mode. Not Recovery mode.
If you do not know the difference between the two, let us now and we'll assist further.
Happy hacking!
I use to always have trouble with Odin..then one day someone mentioned they always right clicked on Odin and chose "run as Administrator", I have never done that because I figured I was the administrator....but once I did it, never had a problem since.
Another problem I run into (well not anymore) is the USB port I plugged into. If I was on a hub or something it wouldn't work. If I plug right into my computer it works properly.
I also use adb commands to get into download and recovery when I'm Odin'ing. It also let's me know if my phone is detected by the OS.
#adb devices (should show your phone listed)
#adb reboot download (reboots your phone into download mode)
#adb reboot recovery (reboots your phone into recovery mode)
You'll need the SDK installed for adb to work.
Since I started doing these things, I have had ZERO problems with Odin and flashing my phone.
ay.. usb debuging was enabled before i flashed... now if my turn turns on it goee onto a bootloop... so everytime i cinnect my phone to the computer it says device not recognised. ohh and one thing to mention is that my computer doesnt have a highspeed usb port
Three button to download mode - power+vol up+vol down and see if you can get it into download mode then plug in usb (1.0 should work), then run odin...
otherwise i think you're looking at trying to make one of those jigs or replacing your phone...
try
1. Start Odin
2. Plug USB cable into pc
3. Power off the Phone.
3. Pull the Battery.
5. Plug USB cable into Phone.
6. Press and Hold: Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power, all at the same time.
7. Re-insert the battery.
8. The phone will power now, when the screen starts a cycle of going to a BLACK screen, release ONLY the POWER button.
9. When you see the download icon release the volume buttons,
10. Odin back to stock by putting the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
Afaik the three button combo is for
Recovery mode. Follow the above directions up to the power button part. While holding both volume buttons, it should go directly into download mode when the usb us plugged in
Try removing all drivers then reinstall if xp doesn't pick it up
Beware of angry gingerbread man
power off phone
pull out battery
turn on odin
attach phone to pc with usb cable
now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.
now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers
Install samsung kies mini. It gives you the correct drivers. I once installed those and it messed it up. So install kies mini.

SOOO trying to be smart i plugged my phone in, it connected COM3 appeared, i rebooted phone into download mode, and flashed my rom.. it goes half way and then that USB Device Not Recognized popped up.. so now my phone is bricked i swear.. i cant even get into Recovery Mode, and Download Mode is useless..
what ive tried so far:
3 different computers (all running W7)
all USB ports on all computers
Installing, Uninstalling, Wiping all Kies data, lots of restarting
tried 4 USB cables
ive been at this for HOURS.. someone please help me.. im so far in over my head here and im afraid my phone is gonna be gone for good
*note: i had both SIM and MicroSD card removed thru all of this
SOLVEDDD
i did it omg.. well i hope someone in the future can look at this and maybe get some help.. heres what i did:
so i opened up odin3, plugged the USB into the computer (but not phone yet), restarted Download Mode (yes this actually makes a difference) and plugged the micro end into the phone, and look what popped up!
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Removed!!
but aww it went to remove immediately ..
so i unplug micro end from phone, pop battery and re enter Download Mode, then plug in again,
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Removed!!
ahh it did it again.. lets try again (btw simply unplugging and replugging didnt trigger this effect, i had to restart Download Mode each time). so then this time i got THISS
<ID:0/003> Added!!
yay it didnt remove itself, held breath, moved slowly, clicked Start and phew it worked.. i thought it was all over for me.. anyways i hope someone will search this up one day and itll offer some help.
I did search, and thanks for writing abt your experience.
I'll try and reply soon ....

OK, here is what i did.
Reinstalled Kies.
Restarted PC.
Connected Phone to kies in Samsung Kies mode.
Restarted in Download Mode, then connected to USB.
Voila... it was detected.

I've done all the things that you do[what ive tried so far: 3 different computers (all running W7) ..all USB ports on all computers ..Installing, Uninstalling, Wiping all Kies data, lots of restarting .. tried 4 USB cables] and finly nothing happend .. Then I had an idea that to clean the phone usb port - look in the picture - and thats work the phone go in to a download mode perfectly

Pluging the micro-USB cable just before hitting the Vol.Up button did the trick for me too.
Thanks a lot !
(tried on Samsung Galaxy Pocket Plus GT-S5301)
Really helped me a lot !!!! Thank u so much !!!!
I found that using RAMDUMP Mode instead of Download Mode forces the phone to be detected by Odin.. Samsung Galaxy S Plus here...

(no usb recognition, grey battery icon or downloading screen only) i used ODIN like you suggested but it wouldnt for some reason work.. the id com window stayed blank with the stock restore file ready to load. i then did the vol dwn, pwr and home again while disconnected, loaded the jeeboo-kernal, plugged the usb back in and when the odins id com lit up i quikly reloaded the stock rom file and it worked!! whew
Simple solution worked for me

I was pushing the wrong buttons for download mode on Galaxy Edge. I was pushing volume up, home and power, got into download mode but wouldnt connect via USB (odin). What worked was pressing volume down, home and power, came to a different download screen, then connected to PC then pressed the volume up key, worked perfect and able to update my phone to Lolipop only taken 2 days to work it out
Can I just Add
Hi all
For anyone looking at this in future there is something else you may have to keep in mind (assuming you are using windows 7) when trying to connect the Samsung device to the computer. If it shows "USB Device Not recognized" then you need to go into device manager and expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers" and right click on the device called "Unknown Device" and then uninstall. This will force windows to attempt to install the Samsung drivers again and hopefully increase your odds of getting it to work.
if you combine this technique with all the others described above and in previous posts and threads then you are almost definitely going to be able to fix your problem with the Odin connection issue.
Good luck
best regards

is my phone dead?
I recently installed CM12.1 on my i605 and it was working great for the last couple weeks. This morning I woke up to the "Samsung Galaxy note II" screen. I tried rebooting it but it stops at the opening screen. Booting into recovery did not work at all and booting into Download mode works, but when I connected it to my computer to try to use ODIN, the device couldn't be found. I also tried installing samsung drivers, but nothing I've done has worked to help my PC recognize my note 2. If anyone knows of any tricks to get into the phone and flash a new ROM, please help!
i know right

This working but i pull up little this in the middle plate.. and working fine.
So I got my phone a month ago. Just rooted and kept stock ROM.
Now keeping getting prompt to install MK2... So finally got around to looking at it today.
I downloaded the stockish ROM, but it says I need to be on MK2 before I flash. So Im trying to install MK2 via the instructions here.
I have ODIN and the file, but I cannot get my phone to be recognized on either computer I have when I open ODIN. I've tried to update the drivers, etc and nothing. All it does when I plug in my phone is charge. I dont see the option to change the MTP either.
Just need some help. Im not a newb, but im stuck and have spent a couple hours trying to figure out where to go.

You have to put your phone in download mode to use odin. Power off your phone, then while holding down volume press and hold power until it boots into the download mode menu. Select volume up to enter download mode. Now connect your phone to the computer and odin should recognize it.

Thanks... But I've tried this. And while I am in download mode, when I open up ODIN, it screen never goes green. So I know it doesnt recognize the phone. I've tried to close and reopen the app and unplug and replug the phone, which usually solves this issue to no avail. Its like it doesn't recognize the phone at all... Which I used the same computer to root the phone in the first place, so totally weird to me.
Make sure that you are using the latest version of Odin (3.09?) and running it as an administrator. If you have Kies installed, uninstall it. If all that fails, uninstall and reinstall the Samsung drivers. Should fix the problem.
And you are just trying install the MK2 modem correct?
