S8 does not show in Odin - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello I connected my S8 to my PC and wanted to see if it shows up in Odin.
It did not show up so I tried the same with my J5 and it did show up.
Any idea how this can be fixed?

alright, do not panic, we are gonna solve this problem . Try a different USB port and/or a different cable. If you're connecting through a USB hub, use a port on the computer itself, instead of the hub. ( from androidcentral forum)
Go to odin and post here a screenshot, also what version of windows are you using ?
Try this latest version of odin https://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.12.3.zip

did you fix it ?

Plug into a different USB port and try to flash again.
Installing the required USB drivers might help too.

Yes, but if he's windows user , it downloads itself the drivers.

That depends on the version of Windows he's running.
Not to mention sometimes Windows doesn't download the right drivers anyways. Realistically for someone who doesn't intend to use ADB the easiest way to get working drivers is to simply install the latest version of kies, connect to it and let it recognize the device, then tell it to install drivers. It will usually say it already did but tell to do it again anyways. This will almost invariably get most devices recognized correctly by windows and functioning USB.
i had the same problem around 10 times and i always just pulled the bettery (after whatever i was installing on it had stopped attempting to access the device.) still works fine

[HELP] [i9500] Weird Connection Problem with Download Mode

Hey guys so I decided today to have fun with my S4 (i9500 variant). But I am encountering a weird problem in here.
I am able to connect my phone when it's booted can copy, adb, everything, but the story changes when I put the phone in Download Mode, no sound (default windows device connect sound) is played on my PC and Odin doesn't detect my phone but as soon as I connect my USB cable (while in Download mode) and remove my battery Odin shows "Added!!!" as soon as I put the battery in it shows "Removed!!!" and the phone disconnects!
I got the battery idea from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO7TVY2UXEY
Video exactly depicts the scenario I am going through but when the guy re-inserts his battery his phone isn't disconnected while mine is.
Yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Kies, downloaded drivers separately and installed them everything is perfect from that view.

I didn't I'll try on my laptop later, to be honest I don't think PC would a problem ad it works perfectly wheb the phone is booted, also my PC would be impliedly ruled out since it's a powerhouse and everything's perfect from that view.
I think it would be driver or cable problem.

When it's in the download mode it may show up in a different location in the device manager and be listed only as "android".
Do you hear any sound from the computer when you plug it in when in download mode?
What does your download screen look like?
Once these questions are answered, there may be a solution. Hopefully a CDMA device won't be different

there are two possibilities.. First, your phone is already hard bricked.. second is, your battery is absolutely dead with no power left...
Well, Have you tried to check the battery itself?

ok, so have you tried it using different PC or laptop?
(last option if nothing else to try) if you want to check the battery :
DIY remove the case ( there are several tutorials in youtube, but of course, do it with your own risk)

It's not hard bricked/
Getting into download mode proves this.
You must get your computer to recognize your device in order to communicate with it. So I would not consider anything else until that is accomplished. PERIOD!
1. Are you using a USB 2.0 port? usb 3.0 will not work a lot of the time. (Important)
2. Have you tried another usb cable?
3. I think we discussed the drivers, I have them if needed
What operating system are you using?
If nothing here helps we can we can use "TeamViewer 9" which will give me control of your computer to help resolve this issue...

[Help] No Recovery, Boot loop, and not recognized by Odin

Seems I've hit the jackpot, my phone's a potato. I had just installed king of nougat v9 and it worked fine until I rebooted into recovery by holding the power button and selecting recovery. At first it was in a boot loop and wouldn't open recovery or get recognized by odin, I read somewhere here to disconnect the battery so I opened the back cover and disconnected it which apparently ****ed the phone a step further now it's dead unless it's connected to a power source and after disconnecting it stays on samsung logo/download mode for a bit then dies.
On my old rom it was working fine except for the fact that I couldn't connect the phone to pc as storage, and it couldn't recognize usb devices I plugged in using the adapter. I took the phone to a repair shop and they said they replaced the micro usb assembly and it still didn't show up on odin, then a few days later they said it's a problem with the power IC and they replaced that then the guy said it worked once on odin then stopped again.
Idk what to do lol, phone's bricked or should I try a different repair shop incase these were idiots.
note: it says device descriptor request failed when connected to pc

Then it means you must install Samsung drivers, so that the computer would recognize your phone. Try downloading smart switch or kies and that should also install the drivers.
or try different ver. of odin

"device descriptor request failed when connected to pc" sounds like a windows problem not android. You can check in the "computer management" device manager to see if the phone is recognized. I am going to assume not.
