help!!! soft bricked my phone

Guys please help. Odin does not recognize my phone in download mode but does when its on the samsung screen. Should I odin it back with the samsung screen? The reason I bricked my phone was because I accidentaly flashed stock 2.2 kernel over nero v4 voodoo with voodoo enabled, and also flashed jl5 modem at the same time. Also on the samsung screen it says file analysis and stays stuck on it. How can I get my odin to recognize my phone in download mode.

Please anyone?

Ok, so how far do you get when you boot up?
and are u able to reach recovery mode?
if you can reach download mode on your phone everything should be fine, try restarting odin and then plugging the usb cord into your computer then hold down volume down and plug usb into phone, worked for me when i was having the same problem

Make sure you have a later version of Odin running. Had issues with the earlier versions.

[Q] I900 is dead ?

Hey guys!
I need yoyr help. My phone was dead since march 11. I don't remember what I'm done with it, but the following symptoms are:
- when I turn on the phone nothing exept Galaxy S GT-I9000 Samsung screen is showed.
- when I turn phone to download mode and connect it with my computer, nothing happens,no notifications, device manager nothing shows, I once showed: one of your devices has malfunction.
What should I do? USB plug is broken? My other phone have no problem with this MicroUSB cable from samsung and it's connecting to computer without any problems.
Edit:
I plug cable with turning on download mode. Now computer shows: one of your device has malfunction. DM error loop?

UP Please! Same problem!
Just can access download mode, but my PC doesn't recognise it.
It got stuck in the first logo and I can't access Recovery.

yep, I was checked this thing. And this is not helpful. Yes, have few good ideas but for my case... nothing I can use... Main reason: My computer don't show me any alerts or messages after plug in mUSB to phone...

I solved my problem. What I did was to use another PC, then just installed the Samsung drivers, plugged the phone in download mode and the the driver installed OK.
Odin recognised the phone too so I could flash a kernel.
I can't realize why my PC didn't recognize the phone. I tried reinstalling drivers, the android SDK but nothing worked.
Thanks for the answers.

And IF nothing worked and USB connection still fails no matter what, than it would be best to look into this

[Q] I'm SO LOST PLEASE HELP!

I own an LG G2, i recently got this phone yesterday from a person on craiglist. Don't worry i didn't pay him i gave him my older phone i dont use anymore. SO This phone is practically stuck in Firmware Update (As i read that post) , i spent about a day and half figuring it out and what happens is that.
I CAN get into recovery its TWRP v2.7.0.0 by Turning off the phone first and then Holding Vol UP, Power, Vol Down at the same time until the LG Logo comes up and then i am still holding them down, and it says Recovery Mode please wait and bam TWRP.
But heres the problem i can't mount my OTG and i can't ADB Sideload. So what do i do from here?? this guy rooted this phone and soft bricked it i think? and he wiped the phone but i also did when i had the chance and wiped it completly via recovery.
The only way i got into "Download Mode" / "Firmware Update" was to take the back cover off and unscrew a few screws on the side and unclip the battery for a few seconds and then plugged it back in and then I held the VOl UP button and plugged my USB into the phone and the other end is in my PC. My phone says "Download Mode please wait" and then prompted with the Firmware Update screen. BUT my pc doesnt detect the phone whatso ever and i've already installed drivers and etc from this forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 ) its the 2015 method that i downloaded.
so what do i have to do, i havent tried using different usb cables, the port seems fine to be plugged in since in TWRP it says 84+ so i meant its charging right? help me out guys idk what else to do or flash or anything.

I think the methods leave out that you need to change your phone to com port 41 on device manager > ports in order to be detected. Then you need to unplug it and reconnect to computer when the program shows waiting for device, with the phone in download mode already.
Also, to get to recovery you hold vol down and power, when the LG logo comes up release power and hold it again until the reset screen comes up.
To get to download mode you turn the phone off then hold up while plugging the USB cord in with it connected to pc... This launches download mode.

Well you see man , I cant change anything in Device Manager since my phone isn't being detected. It didn't install drivers fully fully since my phone isnt recognized. Even in TWRP or "Download Mode/ Firmware Update" Nothing happens no drivers installing or anything even but it does boot it up to that point....and its just normal boot up i see the LG logo and my led goes from green to blueish in a smooth transition and it doesnt stop until i turn it off. The method i got into recovery is holding all those buttons down its not a problem for me to get into it. I also have another problem it doesn't seem to want to mount my usb otg by samsung.

what do i do
So i tried the otg route but I can't mount it. I have everything connected and once I go into recovery to mount usb-otg, nothing happens.
I just need some way to get a ROM.zip in my phone
Computer does not recognize my phone.
Stuck at LG logo unless I enter recovery.
Sideload doesnt work.
OTG doesnt work.
I've tried at least 4 different guides with no luck.

Why don't you manually install drivers from online?

ive tried

ive tried that already and it doesnt list anything from the LG folder.
I realized the phone will say start the adb sideload feature. so, when i put the "abd sideload file.zip" command on my pc i just wait a few minutes and it says daemon not running on port 5037 and then start successfuly and then error :device not found.
it can seem to reognize my device wether its in recovery, or download mode or fastboot mode.

Try again in other pc that has never been conected to an LG Phone before. It can perfectly be a conflict with drivers installed in the OS.

I've tried man
AFter i cleaned the usb port in one of the chats or forums, i waited a day ovbiously without turning on the phone and cleaned the usb port with alchohal and a q tip and i plugged my phone into my computer and my PC detected something but it only says "Unknown Device" everytime no matter what pc i use it says that. nothing else. but before that none of my pcs would detect theirs a phone plugged in at all.

[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

Have you tried to reboot to the bootloader by holding down the power button, home button and volume down when your phone is at the android logo?

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

tried both of the above

Try clean install Samsung Drivers and other version of Odin. It should be (have to be) show in Odin after all of these.

it says device descriptor request failed when connected to pc

"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.
