I really want to root my galaxy s and start trying out custom roms but odin doesnt recognise my phone when in download mode. When i reboot the phone a com port turns yellow straight away. Ive tried uninstalling the usb drivers and kies but its still not working.
Odin requires Kies or USB drivers and debugging to be off .
Com port yellow means Odin has found the phone .
Are you following the instructions that are basically load Odin load the firmware into Odin as Instructed .
Put phone to download mode then connect the Samsung USB cable .

Yes I have the drivers and kies and tried with debugging on and off and I am also correctly following the very simple instructions.

Try another USB port
Tell us exactly which steps you are following and we can tell you if there are any mistakes.
BTW Are you using the original usb cable?. I bought a cheap usb cable in ebay and it is good for charging or transferring files, but it never worked with odin.
Ive tried 2 different computers. Im following the instructions for the cf root. i downloaded the file for JVO, extracted it and put the .tar file in the PDA section of ODIN. I then turned off my phone and put in into download mode then connected the phone to the pc with the cable that came with the phone. In odin nothing happnes. When i reboot the phone, a com port turns yellow. Ive tried connecting the phone first then getting the .tar file and still not working.
Before flashing the kernel you have to flash stock JVO rom with the pit, pda, modem and csc files.

This is a good beginning: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
The cf root guide i used didnt say that i had to flash stock JVO rom
The path you should follow:
1) Install Kies. Full
2) Check if Kies sees ur phone normally. If yes goto:3
3) Open odin
4) Kill ALL kies processes.
4) put your phone into download mode
5) Connect USB. Odin should react. If not, try other USB/cable
6) Profit
Have Really done that all?
try install Kies last version
and odin 1.82 for Galaxy S (( GT-I9000 ))
and will be fix, ansallh
Kies recognises my phone and i have followed the other steps but odin still doesnt recognise my phone in download mode.
You mean that Odin recognises the phone in non download mode?

Yes kies sees my phone, mass storage works and usb debugging is off, i have also tried with debugging on but it still didnt work. Ive tried this so many times and its still not working.
Put phone in download mode Open Odin
Now connect USB cable does first block ID Com turn Yellow .
also have you tried other versions of Odin
What sort of files are you trying to flash and what part of Odin are you putting the files in .
How are you getting to download mode what steps .

Bricked I9000?
This phone goes only in download mode, but the pc is not recognize the phone and yes i have latest usb drivers installed. I have tried every usb port on my win 7 pc and my other windows xp pc.
I have tried everything but nothing, so this is my last try, to get help here.
Can someone tell me what to do?
Or is this just bricked and thats it.
You're saying your pc does not recognize the phone, but does Odin? Make sure to kill Kies process too.
Sent from horseback.
since your phone goes into download mode, flash a stock gingerbread rom via odin and your phone will boot again.
Hope this helps
got this problem too some days before. even Odin and dl mode did't work.
1)what rom was on the phone?
2) did you tried several cables and pc's?
3)maybe there is dirt in your USB port on your phone. so take pressure sprayer and clean it. cause that helped me. now it works again.
wish you good luck.

Hello,
I was running Fenny's Stock Rom 4.2 on my S4 i9505 I was going good and then i flashed Stock 4.3 using mobile odin pro.
Now S4 is stuck at Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 Screen.
worst than that my laptop was not detecting the phone through USB cable. When i used to connect the cable with my phone it was not asking for any connection mode option in the notification.
Now I guess I can't flash it through odin using PC
Any other way out? How can i fix this?
Waiting for advices and suggestions .....
You do know you have to boot the phone into download mode in order to flash roms with Odin on the PC, right?Use the original cable and try different usb ports.
Or, if you had a custom recovery, does it work anymore?
Thanks for your response,
Yes i am in download mode waiting for odin to make me smile ... But nothing..
No costum recovery everything went back tu stock thats why i am stuck now ��
Then try the cable and usb port thing. It's mostly caused by those.
Tried 4 different ports and two cables, my other samsung phone can talk to my pc using same port and cable ��
So is this means my phone's port is not working for data transfer? even though it is charging my cell phone.
Power Button+Home Button+Volume Down Button

That ll take me to download mode and its if no use as i wrote above my cell is not being detected by odin/pc..
Try reinstalling usb drivers
or
another PC
it worked FOR me
Tried windows 7 and then 8 and mac book still no luck
You might have to take it to repair center and have them reinstall the software. They have tools that we simple mortals don't
it was was the hardware issue infact the charging port was having it Rx/Tx Pin faulty as per the lap guy in my area. He replaced the strip for it and now I can flash any thing using odin
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.

I tried to root using odin nowim stuck in download mode and it wont connect to my laptop ive download drivers kies odin PLZZZZ HELP!!!
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
I can't get my galaxy core prime sm-s820l to accept any flashed Roms stock or custom I've even tried twrp and stock recovery
The only thing I can access is download mode and most of the time it won't connect to Odin I can get it to connect using the method above. Someone please help
I have minor experience with Odin and Roms I've been playing around with my infuse 4g for a while
My mother has this model which long ago I rooted for her and installed a custom ROM for better battery, recently the phone turned off and never turned on again, at first I thought of the battery which was indeed completely uncharged but after that the phone wouldn't even turn on or charge (had to charge with a battery charger) it doesn't enter recovery mode or ever show the samsung logo when turning it on, but it can enter Download Mode, I have tried repartitioning since I have the .pit file with the newest Lollipop ROM but it gets stuck in initialized in ODIN, I don't know it there's any way in which I could solve this problem since she cannot go to Samsung and needs urgently her phone and I want to be able to fix it, I have all the drivers installed, the newest version of ODIN downloaded and everything and I know it is not dead from the motherboard since it can enter into Download Mode, has someone been able to fix this?
You are using a stock rom in Odin? Tried using the original Samsung USB cable? Try different cables and USB ports. Also try a different computer and operating system.
The fact that the phone goes to Odin mode is a good sign.
Odin mode is a good sign. Change the cable, the USB port and check the drivers. Also try a different computer, if you can.
Still nothing
Yeah I have practically changed form all the USBs in my laptop, from 3.0 to 2.0, also from my PC. I have tried the microSD card fix that I read from the N900T forum using a N900 unbrick.img file and everything but it still gets stuck on the initialization phase of ODIN, I have tried with ODIN 1.85, 3.07, 3.09, 3.10.7, with three 3.0 USB cables and 2 2.0 cables. I'm using the last stock N900 5.0 firmware that showed up, don't know what else to do, and there's no Samsung repair center here so thats not an option :C. Does somebody knows what else I can do? Because the computer recognizes the device as a normal Download Mode Samsung phone and ODIN shows it properly and everything, it just doesn't make like the right serial connection with the computer.
Edit: I have also discovered that when I disconnect the phone after minutes of staying in initialization it shows in ODIN that it failed but 3 lines of code appear:
Get PIT for mapping..
There is no PIT partition.
All threads removed
Don't know if it means something.
Seems like the NAND shat itself if it can't repartition.

Find a pit file for your phone. Make sure the pit file matches the amount of memory in your phone.

Already did, it doesn't get past the initialization part in ODIN with either the pit or any file
What about attempting a reflash with kies or smartswitch?
With Odin, you're using the original Samsung cable? Try other cables and USB ports?

Yep, have count exactly 14 USB ports to now, and Kies gets stuck at 0% :C
Progress?
Ok, after fiddling around with ODIN for almost 5 hours I decided to give Heimdall and its cousin JOdin3 a try. I deleted all the Samsung drivers even the logs with USBdeview and replaced the generic serial driver with the WinUSB one in order to use heimdall without the usblib error -12.
Everything fine with it and I have advanced in the way that it now kinda interacts with the phone via serial and not just initializes, but its receiveing an error which I cannot find a way to solve: https://goo.gl/FJJWJT
Anyone knows something about it?, I won't stop till I fix this hahaha

Question:
If I bought the motherboard of a SM-N900W8 that also has an Exynos chip would it work?, it's really hard to find a motherboard for the SM-N900. And the software doesn't seem to go anywhere :C
Someone?
