Odin3: keeps saying Removed, Added ..

Hey all,
I am attempting to restore Vibrant back to 2.1 in order to try out Samsung's official 2.2. When I go into Download Mode and plug up to the PC, ODIN detects the phone, but it will randomly give the noise where you unplug something from USB, and ODIN will say removed, then almost immediately say my phone is added again. I'm nervous to try flashing at this point because I don't want that to happen while I'm restoring to 2.1.
I'm running Windows 7 x64. Has anyone had this problem?

Reboot the pc and try a different usb port then make sure odin is open before you plug the phone into the pc.

Tried this as well, no different result.
Windows 7 is saying:
USB device not recognized
Device driver was not successfully installed
Unidentified device: (red x) device unplugged
SAMSUNG Mobile Modem: ready to use
I'm currently using Nero v5 with voodoo lagfix disabled

Sounds like you could have something as simple as a bad or fatigued USB port or cable. I've seen this sort of behavior with USB devices before and it's usually from a port connection making poor or intermittent contact. Whether it's a port on your cable (either end), your phone, or the ports on your PC...hard to say...

Have you tried reinstalling the drivers from Samsung's Vibrant support page?

Yes that was the next thing I did. Same result. Is there an issue with the drivers I'm using because of the ROM I'm running? Do I need different drivers?

That ROM should have no effect on the drivers. Have you tried installing the drivers by updating the kies program? You might have to install the drivers and software first.

Yes sir, Kies is up to date as well, and says unrecognized device (obviously lol).
As an aside, as I keep trying and trying, now windows is telling me a usb device has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it.

To rule out a problem with windows have you tried a different usb device on the pc?

Yes, I just plugged my ipod in and am using it as normal. I am also able to use the phone in mass storage mode as well. The problem only seems to occur when the phone is plugged in during download mode.

I think your driver is corrupt. You should uninstall kies and the usb driver, reboot, and reinstall. Stupid question, have you tried a battery pull on the phone?

Ok, I will try that now. I have entered download mode with and without the battery. I will let you know in a few minutes after uninstalling kies and the drivers, and reinstalling the drivers.

When you try odin are you:
1. Opening odin.
2. Selecting the pit and tar files.
3. Putting the phone into download mode.
4. Plugging the phone into the PC.
In that order?

I was opening Odin, putting phone into DL mode, plugging it in, and then messing with the files. When I started the thread this morning it would remove / add constantly, and then it went to not detecting my phone at all and giving me the error message (only in DL mode) once I installed and updated Kies. Reinstalling Samsung drivers now, just rebooted.

Just reinstalled drivers and attempted in the order you provided, and windows is still saying that there was a malfunction with the device.

Can you try a different usb cable?
Kies is still installed right?
Can you use a different pc?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Yes. My sister has the same phone and cable. I'll borrow hers and see if that helps. I appreciate the quick responses, by the way. Thank you very much.
Would the cable only cause it to act up during DL mode and not regular? I can mount normally, etc.
Edit: Odin detects my phone while it's turned on normally. I don't supposed that helps me any.

If there is a bad connection you can have issues.

No odin......

Anything that I can try besides Odin to flash the EB01 modem with? I can't get odin, our my computer, to recognize my phone while in download mode.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you the latest drivers?
Are you entering download mode with the battery out?

You gotta work on getting your pc to see your phone properly before you can even try odin, definitely need the right drivers, also can try rebooting phone while usb is plugged in.

Ad far as I know I have the latest drivers. I finally got the pc to recognize the phone with it turned on to transfer files. So that tells me the drivers are working. And yes, entering dl mode by pulling batt. Not sure where to go from here.

Try all your USB ports. Are you using the original cord that came with your phone?
If you know how to use adb see if normal operations work

FYI I have one desktop and three laptops in my house. one laptop refuses to recognise my fascinate... all the others work fine. Oddly enough..that same computer recognises my friends fascinate. Neither the laptop or my desktop would recognise my droid x but my mothers laptop works fine with my x.
I beginning to think all phones have crappy usb drivers.
I eventually got my desktop to recognise the X too but I had to do some wanky driver cleaning and removing / reinstalling all the USB hardware detected by windows.. and some cab cleaning.
not even sure what worked.
stuff is wack...

I have started cleaning my register on my laptop. Just to see if that would work. Lol. Got to get some permissions worked out first though.

Can't Mount nexus s. Usb device not Recognized

My nexus S won't show up on my computer. I've tried re installing and uninstalling the drivers for it. It shows up as an "Unknown device" and tells me that i should try to replace the device. I'm running W7 prof. and 2.3.4 stock on my nexus with root. I've tried several fixes and none have worked. Please if anyone has had the same problem help me out.

Sounds like the cable. Try a new one, something thick like they have at radio shack.

Been having the same problem for months. Don't think it's the cable since everything worked fine before i manually installed 2.3.4. Tried many of the same fixes as you, also with no luck.

Which USB drivers did you use? Try the PDAnet drivers, they seem to work for everyone.

i never connect via usb. you download the rom onto the phone, boot into recovery, flash the rom, then reboot. easy.

I've tried this and it installed but it didn't work.

Are you trying to have your Nexus S recognized as a USB storage device or a Nexus S device? Have you tried connecting to a different USB port on your computer?

Same problem - seemed to start a week ago when I updated Music app. Tried 3 different PC's and 3 different cables with no luck. Then tried turning off whilst lead still plugged in and it immediately rebooted so I unplugged, put it in recovery mode then plugged in lead and rebooted and it seemed to kick it into life... since then works ok once I'd rebooted PC's. Weird as hell and initial thought USB phone connector was broken but seems fine now. Good luck!

try the samsungdriver , you can find it on nexusshacks.com together with a tutorial on how to install it . worked for me.

Same problem here , just tried switching the cable from my old htc shift and it worked . The one that came with the nexus is having problems , seems to be one more issue for the books for this phone , from the reception , battery use ....

My stock cable didn't support development and my phone keeps disconnecting.
So i tried a different cable, which is from my Nokia N85. It worked fine.

1. try other computer , determinate it is cable, USB port, windows driver or phone problem
2. try delete old device displays in your computer and reinstall, try use "windows update" to find correct driver , by the way , i didn't have to install new driver after i update from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 , so i guess that's same driver
...
and , other silly idea , try to plug it into other new USB port of your computer...
i'm not sure , but sometimes i plug some device out and plug it into other port , windows just reinstall the same driver and disiplay #2 for the same device...

S4 isn't detected in download mode

I managed to get my hands on a computer so I can ODIN my s4 from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2. Drivers are installed as well as Kies but once I boot the phone into download mode so I can use ODIN, the phone isn't detected. Any solutions?

Uninstall kies, but keep the drivers. Also try different usb ports. Odin can be finicky

Make sure to use USB 2.0 ports instead of USB 3.0 if possible. Try another cable.

Does Odin recognize your device? Use the usb ports in the back of your pc and try different usb cables and ports. Odin can be finicky

same problem, but odin not recognize.. i tried with three cables and three USB ports.. but nothing

Try reinstalling the USB drivers, do you have kies installed? If something takes over mobile USB it can cause it to fail.

also try a different USB port. Thats what I did when it wasn't connecting for me.. try to avoid USB hubs like on the front of PC cases and plug it right into a main board USB port.
Also like behrensdtech said Kies can interfere with Odin so try uninstalling it.
Also i got it rooted via towel root once i flashed to ND1. its android version 4.4.2. So my question is can i upgrade to 4.4.4 kitkat and keep root? also ATT is asking me about a firmware update. what should I do with that?
