[Q] Odin can't detect download mode.

So I already tried reading most of the threads about this problem but sadly I wasn't able to find the answer to my problem. I just recently reformatted my computer and thought that I want to return to stock ROM for now. But when I entered download mode and plugged the cable in, Odin cannot detect the phone.
I got frustrated after trying so I restarted my phone without disconnecting the cable. When the phone booted up normally, Odin was able to detect the phone, so I tried download mode again, nothing, now I tried recovery mode, detected.
I already tried:
- Installing Kies
- Installing just the drivers
- Trying debug on/off
Also, I've been having problems with "Samsung Mobile USB Modem" "An error occurred during the installation of the device. The required section was not found in the INF." Could this be the cause of the first problem?
Yes I just made this account to ask you guys this.

try new version odin search at caliban666 thread,if im not wrong he post a new version of odin.try installing a new samsung driver at dokys thread.i hope this will help u...

Try installing the drivers again..
If possible download them again..
**rooting is new for me...and i am noob to root...**

So only the download mode that isn't detected by odin? I have the same problem before. Here, when you go into download mode but odin doesn't detect your phone, press the power button until your phone turns black and don't let it to reboot. If your phone already turns black then go into download mode again (volume down+power+home). Odin should detect it.
For your 2nd problem, here you can download the samsung usb driver pack, I also experienced that after installing kies then "an error occured blabla". Driver here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11498043

No luck.
I just tried the new Odin and installed the new Samsung drivers.
It's still the same for both problems.
- can't detect phone in download mode but it can detect the phone in normal and recovery mode.
- samsung mobile USB modem error still persists

Your os must be corrupted!!! I

Can a member who can use Odin with their GT-S5360 connect the 5360 in "Download Mode" to their PC, open Windows Device Manager and copy / paste the Device Instance ID shown under:
+Universal Serial Bus controllers
...Composite Device
by right-clicking it, choose Properties, then Details?
On my PC, it is shown as 'Unkown Device' with the following Device Instance ID:
USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\5&2E64F456&0&1
Which is most likely not what it should be.
I want to know what it should be.
I have two Galaxy Y's (one soft-bricked, the other working fine) and both show the same ID.
BTW, I have tried every port on the back of my PC with four Samsung data cables and three third-party cables and I cannot get Windows or Odin to recognize the GT-S5360 in download mode (both phones).
I have downloaded and installed / uninstalled / rebooted, etc. with the following versions of Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones:
1.3.1500
1.4.8
1.5.9
1.5.15
1.5.23
1.5.33
I have downloaded but cannot install version:
1.5.49
MCC InstallWizard says it "could not" install the drivers but no error message or log is given.
And for some reason, the "have disk" method of installing the drivers doesn't work either.
My PC is running XP SP3 x86, offline.
I download all files to my working phone, and transfer them to the PC.
One last thing, can someone who has USB driver version 1.5.49 installed, open Windows Services and check to see if the Samsung Connection service has started and is running?

Just reinstall your operating system of pc and install the drivers again. Everything will be fine.
Else try connecting it to another computer. It will WORK for 100^(1000000)%.
Hope it was helpful.

You should install full driver for SGY

[Q] E Signature Verification Failed Galaxy S4

Hello!
I have royally F***** up my phone so if there are any geniuses out there, I will be so happy to hear your thoughts on my issue.
Here's my problem and I am open to any solution:
-My phone isn't rooted so CMW, TWRP, and any other custom recoveries are not an option.
-USB doesn't work
-Factory reset doesn't help (I've tried both ways)
-Any installs via extSD get the signature fail notification
-USB debugging is checked
-Allow apps from unknown source is checked
-App verification is unchecked
-Any kind of app that is meant to root my phone doesn't work
Thank you in advance!

Can you put it into download mode? If you can then you should be able to odin a custom recovery or odin the stock rom back to your phone and start from scratch. Have you downloaded the Samsung USB drivers? Only use the cable that came with your phone, others may not work or charge only. Also, try a different usb port.
Signature fails because you are on the stock recovery and the file you are trying to install hasn't been signed by Samsung.

I can put it into download mode but my phone still isn't recognized. I've tried many different cables, computers, usb ports, etc. I've downloaded the drivers from people posting them on here or on samsungs website directly but either way, i'm using windows 8 and windows 8 does it automatically. this wasn't a problem from the beginning, this just recently started happening and it has nothing to do with my computer or any computer for that matter.

Have you installed the drivers 'as administrator'?
Have you used Odin before?
How did you do what ever it is you think you did?
Have you tried Odin'ing a complete stock .tar? Here's one. Just download zip and extact the .tar.md5 file.
When you launch Odin are you right clicking and running as admin?
Did you put your phone into download mode before connecting it to a RUNNING Odin session. Meaning start Odin on PC as admin. Then put phone into download mode and then plugging it into computer.
Seems you can get into your phone right?
You may also try copying the extracted .tar to your SD card (via PC adapter or whatever) putting the SD card back in your phone and then trying to flash it via Stock Recovery.

Always nice when someone asks for help and then never reports back.

[Q] Trying to root with stock 4.4

I am trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (well actually i would like to install a new rom and recovery) , but i am running into a problem.
Odin3 (v1.85) only finds my phone when i am not in the recovery mode (or the sideload to be precise), adb on the other hand is able to to do sideload but the loaded images fail with "Wront footer" and "verification failed".
Some Data:
AP: N9005XXUENA7
CP: N9005XXUENA2
CSC: N9005DTMENA2
Model: SM-N9005
Android: 4.4.2 (Stock, no root)
USB Debugging: On
Reactivation Lock: Off
USB Driver: Kies 3 (also tried the CWM Drivers)

If you have KIES installed it doesn't play nice with Odin, remove KIES or kill all KIES processes and try again.

Thank you,
i removed Kies and tried again, i still don't get "ID:COM" in Odin.

Sorry I should have said, once you uninstall KIES you remove the USB drivers, you need to install them again. Again, sorry should have said

No problem,
i actually installed the "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones" Pack after removing Kies and doing the reboot stuff.
Still don't get the device via odin.
Maybe i will remove all the drivers and try the CWM Driver again.

Try a different USB port - Not sure why it's not showing for you

I tried different Ports (USB 2 and 3), different Cables and different drivers.
Removed Kies3, tripple check that debugging is on and recovery lock is off.
Still, Odin finds the device when it is not in recovery mode (sideload),

Was another user who had the same problem had to use another PC, I'm struggling to think of what may be the cause.

I had also the sane problem. I also tried all ports on my PC but did not work. I installed KIEs on my Laptop and it worked. I could flash the CWM recovery.

Put phone in download mode then with Odin NOT running, plug USB cable to phone. Finally ran Odin ( I'm assuming you installed Samsung USB drivers ).

I did this on a new computer that never saw an Android device before.
Odin does not detect my device despite following this advice and the one before.
I installed Kies, made my device known to the Windows Device Manager, rebooted, connected device while in sideload-mode and waited until detection was finished. The next step was firing up Odin3 v1.85 and my device didn't show up, but i was able to use the adb sideload which failed with "Verification Error" when installing a new recovery or rom.
Could it be that the phone being branded by T-Mobile Germany changed the game even though the model is just plain SM-N9005 ?
Is there another option to root this device or preferably install some other rom without Odin?
Never ran into so much trouble with my Asus eeePad, the Samsung I9000 or the HTC One X.

Well when stupidity strikes you...
I always went into the recovery rom (Vol+ & Power & Home) instead of going with the odin mode (remove battery, power device on with Vol- & Home & Power).
Thanks everyone who tried to help me, but you were no match to my blindness ^^
Maybe this might help someone who utilizes the search function after he or she didn't read the tutorials carefull enough.

Download mode not working

Hi. I tried to find a thread with my problem but I couldn't so I'm creating this one.
I have a Samsung Galaxy s4 i9500 with a custom kit kat rom (OzcanRom). I tried to revert to stock using odin but I can't make download mode work. When I start the phone in download mode it immediately says "Downloading do not turn off target" altough I haven't connected to the computer yet. The phone does not respond so I have to take the battery to restart. If I connect the phone to the computer, the computer doesn't recognize it. It doesn't even appears on device manager (I also looked for unknown devices and it is not there).
I tried to do a factory reset through recovery but it doesn't work. Odin worked previously so I don't know what it doesn't works now.

Hi
The message Downloading do not turn off target is normal when in download mode even if you are not connected to the PC , what you mean the phone does not respond? what do you see in Odin , does Odin acknowledge that the phone is connected?
If Odin does not respond try this:
Odin troubleshooting: If Odin accidentally gives you "fail" try the following:
- Repeat procedure.
- Make sure that all actions of Kies are disabled from task manager.
- Change usb port.
- Try another usb cable (make sure it is the original).
- Try another Odin version.
- Uninstall and re-install driver.
- Use pit file.
- Try another computer.

You were right, another usb cable solved the problem. The message "Downloading do not turn off target was misleading". Thank you so much!

[Q] Stuck in Download Mode

I have a G360P Boost Mobile version. I rooted the phone using Kingoroot and things were working great.
I rebooted the phone at one point and now the phone only boots in Download Mode.
It doesn't seem to be recognized by Odin or by Kies either.
Any ideas?
***EDIT***
More Info, I'm using Windows 7 x64
I tried ODIN v3.09 and then v1.85 and Kies v3
I have tried multiple USB cables in multiple ports.

Just for future reference I was able to exit download mode by disconnecting USB cable and holding down the power button for 10 secs.

honestly like someone mentioned here install the samsung drivers for your phone. I had the same problem, it not being detected until I did that. As far as the rebooting go back to stock. Flash the stock image with odin, or remove root and hard reset the phone using recovery. Hope that helps.

I guess I had assumed that when I installed Kies that the correct drivers would have already been installed. I downloaded the drivers from the Samsung Website HERE and was able to flash the stock firmware via ODIN. From that point I was able to boot up and install system updates. Thanks you two for the help.

I googled for a bit and didn't find much other. The results suggested it was a Tracfone model. If that's true I've always had problems finding firmware for Tracfone models, but have sometimes managed to get away with using a firmware from a similar model.
Samsung 820L Product Page (No downloads here )
Phones that may have similar firmware???
If you run out of options I would suggest trying Kies - may not hurt at that point.

Get Odin to recognize your phone
Try powering off your phone with it plugged into your computer then use the button command for download mode again that helped me......
I'm having an issue and I think it's because I've flashed to many files
