Hello, I wanted to install a new ROM to my Samsung S4.
Unfortunately it failed and I have deleted the old OS and all files.
I can't use my external sd card in this phone, so I have to connect the phone via TWRP (V.3.0.2-0) with my computer.
I have tried a Win7 Starter Netbook and a Win10 Notebook and I cant' see my phone. I have tried to install the ADB drives, which where recommented here (https://highonandroid.com/android-r...r-android-in-a-bootloop-with-no-os-using-adb/) and still no chance.
I can charge the phone without problems and I have shortly tried it with an USB stick with Linux.
Should I buy a UTB OTG adapter for an USB Stick or do someone have some hints for me?
You should try different USB cables and USB ports to flash a stock ROM using Odin.

Ok, thank you. I have tried different USB cables and USB ports. I didn't have flash a ROM via Odin for a long time.
Where did I find a instruction for it and the correct files?
I didn't see "Added" in Odin, when I try to connect in Download Mode.
If Odin doesn't assign a com port to the phone, you may need to install the Samsung drivers.

I already did this before trying odin. I have tried to install the Samsung drivers again and nothing changes.

The drivers installed properly? What's the exact model # of the phone? Is it possible the phone's USB port is damaged?

How is it posssible to install samsung drivers not properly?
I can charge the phone without problems, so it isn't damage.
GT-I9505 is the model.

It's possible that the drivers may not install without having admin rights on a Windows machine.
The usb contacts for charging are not the same contacts used for data transfer; therefore, a usb cable can charge the battery but not transfer data. Does the phone recognize an otg drive?
There isn't much you can do until Odin assigns a com port to the phone other than trying with Heimdall.
I have bought an usb adapter for usb sticks and in TWRP the stick is shining, but I can't see the files on the stick. I have tried to mount USB and I don't understand, what I have do to next, because I didn't see any difference, I can't go back and try to find the files.
The USB port contacts for transferring data may be damaged.

I tried a ROM, and i fail, i can't turn on my phone (s5360), i must back my phone to STOCK ROM with Odin, but USB Device Not Recognized, i installed driver, help me
follow the instructions on my thread

if you have installed the driver correctly using rear usb ports if on a pc and set your phone to download mode correctly there is no reason why odin will not display com then a number in a coloured box under com:id which shows odin is connected and you have android adb device displayed in device manager

you can not use kies to flash or restore firmware on galaxy y - it is not supported and kies is just not needed
if you have installed the usb drivers from the link in my thread (in compatibility mode if on windows 8/8.1) - are using a working usb cable rear usb ports on pc and correct split firmware from my thread it will work
unless you have a faulty usb port/cable it will be due to user error

Are you boot into download mode already? If not , odin will not recognize your phone anyway
install samsung usb driver first n then connect your phone with download mode by usb
Note:make sure that usb driver is install properly before connect ur phone

Try to use your cable connected from your pc and your phone again. If the same problem happened, try to connect your phone using that cable to another pc. BUT if that phone is not recognized, I think the problem is in the cable. Try to buy another one, and if same thing happened, the problem is in the usb port of your phone.

Yep.
Trying to use odin to flash the stock rom but I cannot connect to pc. I have the correct drivers and usb cable and have tried 2 different pc's that have worked in the past. Running cyanogenmod 11. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Perhaps bad cable, or try different usb port.

Does it recognize the phone at all when it's connected? Does the phone recognize it's being charged? Are you on Windows 7?
ran into the same problem. any thoughts?

Do the ##3284# Menu an see if MTP and ADB is checked.
If that doesn't work find a USB Storage app from the play store and that forces it in that mode. If that still doesn't work then you need to gather up all your Micro USB cords and try every one. Or use the one that came in the box
I had that same problem before, I fixed it by uninstalling drivers and installing again. Maybe flash another rom and see if that works. I know if you have usb fast charging enabled enabled on ktkernel that will prevent your computer from recognizing phone. Good luck

Do you have the usb drivers installed correctly? Or try another usb port/ cable.
IVE put the USB driver in the c drive along sid the KIES and still it says its (USB) not recognised. Is there something else i could use instead ,i didnt like kies anyway.I tried to get airdroid to work (ive had that for 3 years) but it doesnt handle software (my phone) 4.4.2 it only does 4.3. It says FORBIDEN.FAILED TO SEND MESSAGE on my PC.
Most likely you are using an outdated version of Kies. There are multiple versions of Kies, ensure that you install the latest version of Kies. Then open Kies and have it detect your phone. That is by far the easiest way to install the proper driver for your S5 model. After the driver is in place you can close Kies and never use it again. Or uninstall it if you wish.
Do not use an USB hub, connect directly to your phone. If you have ongoing issues, use a different USB cable and port. Ensure that you are using a data cable, not a charging (only) cable that has the data lines shorted. If your PC has USB driver issues in general, then you'll need to resolve those issues first or use a different PC.

KIES V3. The trouble is i cant find the USB i now it should be there in the notif panel but it is not, ive got developer options & usb debugging ticked but thats all, have i got to do anything else (hair pulling time) i dont think so?
1) Should i plug it in the mains or usb on the pc
2) Im using the cable that came with the S5 is that good enough.
3) The S5 sits on a cradle shall i take it of.
4) How do i tell data cable, not a charging (only) cable that has the data lines shorted
5) Ive tried 4 different USB software and it gives the message DEVICE DRIVER SOFTWARE WAS NOT SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED every time
6) Ive done a reboot every time the drivers are put it

If you use Windows 8(.1) you have to disable driver signature verification to get the usb drivers installed. Here is a tut. https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorial...abling-signed-driver-enforcement-on-windows-8.

You are juggling too many unnecessary variables. Try to simply that and don't skip checking any of the points.
I have no idea what you mean by plug it in the mains? And at least until you solve this you should not be using a cradle, hub or anything else. As I suggested earlier, connect the phone directly to your computer USB hub. And if you have ongoing problems, try a different cable, USB port or even PC.
Making an assumption that the cable that came with the phone is good enough is counter productive. It's not impossible that it may be damaged or have some problem. Borrow or buy another cable, to eliminate one more possible cause of your issue.
Retrace and double check each step. As soon as you make an assumption that it's not worth checking x step because it couldn't possibly be the cause, you are skipping a possible solution. Make sure that you are using the latest Odin, make sure that you installed it from windows administrator mode, connect directly to the PC's USB port, different cable, etc. If you are methodical, you'll resolve the problem.
Good luck

Have you activated developer oprions and usb debug?

If you haven't given AirDroid permissions to send SMS directly, "FORBIDEN.FAILED TO SEND MESSAGE" might appear. Change the permissions in phone's settings for a try

I want to flash roms to my note3, since yesterday i tried everything. problem is i cant use my usb cables to transfer data to my phone. device is not recognized by computers. i tried 5-6 different usb cables some of them work with other devices, tried to remove drivers and reinstall them, tried mac,linux, windows 8.1 device is not recognized. even in download mode when i plug usb cable it charges only. i crawled through google found some kernel related problems which i cant do anything about it without working usb cable, i think my usb port might be broken somehow.i don't wanna buy usb port flex cable if there are any other solutions.

MicroUSB connector may be damaged. You should be able to use adapter to connect the MicroSDHC card to a PC, copy the new ROM etc. to the card and install from there.

I think that he would not be able to install a new ROM from the card, as he would need a custom recovery that in this case can't be installed, because the phone is not detected by the computer.
To anyone faces similar problem, i have replaced usb charging port and problem solved. its very easy to do.

Glad you were able to replace the USB port on the phone. regarding being able to do the first install of a rom without a PC, if you can get root (in the case of an AT&T Note3, with Towelroot), then I believe you can use MobileODIN to install ROMs without a PC.
I had a different phone, a Samsung Galaxy S with a damaged USB port with no data connectivity that a repair shop was unable to repair it.
Have a note 4 on a custom rom- android kitkat. Was working fine, until i wiped data/cache a few times in TWRP recovery to do a clean install of the rom. Phone restarted without an OS, and then i couldn't get pass the boot logo screen. Couldn't flash any rom in recovery. So i did a restore thru TWRP from a backup. So now the phone boots, but it pc won't recognize it. Everytime i plug it, I get "One of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it". Under device manager, I get "Unknown USB Device (device descriptor request failed)".
Things I have tried:
-Uninstalled usb drivers and let windows reinstall,
-at least 5 different usb cables
-at least 3 different Samsung oem usb cables
-other usb ports on the PC
-3 different pc (all with same- so im guessing its a problem with the phone)
-physically tried to push up the usb port on the phone- bad connection (someone recommended on google search)
- even when as far to reinstall windows OS
-*#0808# and set it to AP, MTP + ADB
-yes usb debugging is enabled
-download mode (odin does not see the phone, so cannot flash stock/custom rom
-diferent versions of odin
-different version of Samsung usb drivers
-have other samsung phones (note 5, and s6) and windows recognize those.
-phone does charge thru usb
need to get phone working again

Download stock rom from sammobile and flash it via odin.
Or else, flash the cf auto root file via odin, this reset all partitions.

Honestly man search my username ziggsta2 I had the same issue I had to buy another note 4 and even this used phone I got off eBay has the same problem when I wiggled the micro USB cord up and down I got it to connect, I don't suggest you doing this, but what might work is taking a very small piece of plastic and cleaning out your USB port on your phone, I believe these ports go bad after awhile as I have encountered this twice on two separate devices maybe you have a different issue but theres my two cents

i have tried. at this point i think it's hardware failure with the usb port. Stupid buying those cheap usb cables probably damaged the port because it seems to require a little more force than samsung cable. Planning ordering one and replacing. hopefully i don't do more damage. Had this phone for a long time and miss flashing roms on it.
i have still not fixed this problem....lol. had a new phone and been in drawer. did replace the usb port but it wasn't the problem. would like some solutions if anyone can help.
