This happens all the time on my other Windows 7, i gave it to my bro, i didnt' want it...
but what worked for me is switching computers... it just did idk how.
Try another computer, windows XP works best with me everytime dunno why.

thnaks will try tomorrow at my firends house

I had the same problem everyone was telling me that was download mode but it wasn't so get into download with the following instructions.
1. Open odin do not skip this step as you need to open odin first.
2. Take out the battery to turn off the completely
3. Put the battery back in.
4. While holding the two volume buttons plug in your usb cable. Bam your in download mode
Trust me on this method as I freaked out trying to fix it but it worked. Keep trying if it doesn't work.

^ hes not having trouble getting into download mode.. It's the phone isn't recognized by pc...

Have tried restarting your comp yet...? After uninstalling your current drivers than reinstalling after a reboot.

But that isn't download mode I'm sure of it

From my experience the usb port on your device is ruined.... The only way I can think of fixing it is desolder the usb port and solder a new one.... Get a new board for your phone or.... send to samsung. I had the same problem Mine was like a brick and I just send it to samsung.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried a new USB and it still didn't work.

Did you delete/install the new drivers, correctly?
What rom were you on? you made need the nexus s drivers if cm7/miui
EDIT, also, i have posted many times that ODIN NEVER works for me when my webcam is connected. Unplug it and reboot.

i tried taking out the bettery and then i waited a few seconds. then i turned it on and the same symbol was there. i also tried going into download mode but when i tried it just showed the weird symbol and then turned black and again and again. i also tried going in to recovery which also did the same kind of thing.

He said that it's the same as download mode. For your information this mode is a forced download mode which means that you need to flash something to get over it. In this case a new kernel.

Try these:
1. Be sure to have anything Kies related not running [as a process] in the background (Task Manager alt+ctrl+delete on your computer)
2. Restart your computer and try the same usb port again (Kies process closed again).
3. Try a different USB port.
4. Try a different usb cord (I have over 4 in my home due to phones).
5. Try a different computer (I have two in my home).
Flash your kernal again as this is usually the case the phone dash exclamation sign icon comes up, odin of course.

Have you tried flashing back to stock? There is a guide in how to do it, don't do it the odin way - it's too unstable and unpredictable. Flash back to stock with heimdell.

in heimdall you wont be able to tell if heimdall recognizes it or not.

[Q] Stuck at cache/modem/DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET on Odin for Stock2.1

I don't have any USB device connected other than the mouse on PC. i have even tried on my laptop with no mouse.
I have downloaded pit file and uvjfd.tar two times from the forums.
I have tried flashing multiple times from both my PC & laptop using Odin 3.0 v1.0, v1.85, v3.07(latest), EZOdin v1.70 and installed Samsung USB drivers multiple times, even downloaded latest driver version from official Samsung Vibrant page.
I have tried flashing from all possible USB ports on my PC & laptop wherever the phone was being recognized. But now with the latest official Samsung Vibrant drivers, my phone is not being detected by any USB port on my PC.
But whenever I have flashed, Odin is stuck at Cache or Modem or recently(with latest samsung drivers), DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET !!
I have even tried flashing through Heimdall 1.3.1 but the zadig.exe shows the device only as 'Gadget Serial' no matter how many times I try, and installs the driver with device as Gadget Serial under libusb in Device Manager and I also tried by updating driver as Samsung Composite USB as mentioned in readme. Either Way Heimdall frontend will not flash and says "Failed to detect compatible download-mode device".
Edit: I tried with another USB cable, of LG GS500v, and Oh Lord Jesus, Odin flashed past it. Great, time to buy a new Samsung USB cable, now!

Dont worry....this time go to download mode and flash eugenes that does not brick aka Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo with the same pit file and ur good to go brother
Similar Problem but different results.
Hi!
Whomever can help me, please help me. Right now, I am on stock Froyo 2.2 after the factory reset so this is how I got it but it is rooted only. I am trying to overwrite CWM because I cannot get into its recovery no matter how many times I flash it. Odin just will not recognize my phone when I am in download mode. When my phone is on, it will allow the mass storage and that works but when in download mode, my PC says unrecognized devide. I have a feeling that is the problem and I have updated the drivers several times, especially from Samsung but to no avail. Does someone have a solution to this problem? I want to go to Avatar ROM with my phone which is Jelly Bean and have seen its possible but I feel CWM is holding me back.
Thank you in advance!

Can you explain the steps your taking when you try to get into odin
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
The steps I take is put the phone into download mode by pulling the battery and then holding both the volume up and down then reinsert the battery. It shows the download screen. I then start odin and I have tried version 1.7 and the latest version of 3.0.7. Then I plug my phone into the USB port and windows pops up saying unrecognized device. I have reinstalled drivers several times. Now to describe my desktop is that it is a pentium III 550 Mhz...and old computer and running Windows XP Professional. I am able to do the mass storage when the phone is on normally so it recognizes it that way though. I have tried different USB ports on it as well so just unsure. I have rooted the phone and have superuser app access. ROM manager was supposed to have flashed the recovery mode but it never goes into the CWR mode either and its version is 2.5.1.2 which I have seen work on these phones in videos on YouTube so guess I am trying a different route so I can play with the mods to find a ROM I like. I was going to try the Avatar ROM for the vibrant but just cannot seem to get to the point where I can get the ROM flashed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Keep the battery in and lull up Odin. Cut off the phone and hold both volumes while inserting USB hopefully the computer will then recognize it

Its still not recognizing it. I am almost consigned to wait until either my laptop is fixed or get a new laptop to replace it because this desktop is 13 years old and has the old USB 1.1 but wouldn't think that makes a difference. Any other ideas? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the USB drivers but I have not installed Kies yet but heard some bad things about that.

USB cable does make difference. And USB ports even on the same computer. Check also your phone's drivers. Finally, try out Heimdall one-click package for t959, it is more powerful and sensitive than Odin.
Good luck

And since only thing remaining in your case is USB cable, I would say try with a different micro USB cable, even a different vendor's will do, as it did the trick for me( see the edit in OP)
I will try that. Thank you! I need to get a car charger anyway so I can get a usb adapter for the car and a usb cable and try it that way.

Stuck on cache
I'm also stuck on cache & I have tried more than one USB cable. Is there something else that I might be doing wrong? I'm completely uninclined technologically. The fact that I got my phone into download mode after 'bricking' is a feat in itself. Now what do I do when I'm stuck??

Great that you could get it to the download mode.
Follow these steps:
1. Make sure that you have the correct drivers installed for your Operating System. Preferably, download the latest drivers. You can verify when your device is recognized when connected in download mode.
2. Make sure you follow this thread for Odin flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
3. If unable to flash using ODIN successfully, try with different USB ports, on same computer or a different one, say, a laptop.
4. If still unable to do so, try with different USB cables (any micro-usb should do).
In this way, you should by trying multiple alternatives at each step you should be able to eliminate the options and figure out what is really creating the problem in your flashing. Trust me my friend, this has not go anything to do with technology. just follow the steps, try alternatives and you would resolve this. Do post back on thread, if you have any queries.

Nope... Its better than seven. When your device connected enter device manager remove unknown device. Remove cable from usb. Remove all drivers including kies. Reboot pc. Reinstall universal drivers or kies not both. Reboot pc. When pc fully activated remove battery of phone plug cable to only phone. Put battery enter odin mode as soon as you enter odin mode plug usb to pc but different usb port recomended. Wait pc recognized drivers.
If this wont work change cable a new one if you can get. And try with the new cable.
Edit: As i see its a second hand phone it may have a problem with usb port of phone if nothing works. Jig uses two legs of usb so the charge. One leg in common with jig and charge so one leg left behind which may have a problem.

Ok ill try that when I get home. All my Xperias drivers install fine and i installed drivers for myy android tv box last night and rooted it.

Download mode "waiting for cable + NO Recovery (Blanked)

So i was attempting to originally run a firmware through odin and had auto reboot checked when i shouldnt have.
I now have a tablet that boots up with a back light screen and functions as a normal tablet, but i now have a blank recovery
and i cannot use download mode anymore. ive tried drivers, different computer, the works. No recognition in download mode.
i do not have root and am running 4.0.4
please help :X
Hmmm.
Auto reboot shouldn't have damaged anything in particular. Its exactly as it says - whether you want the tablet to reboot after you've finished flashing a rom.
Just a few questions so that we can help you easier,
-What do you mean by a blank recovery?
-Does the tablet charge via AC? That'll determine whether it is a cable problem or whether it is something else.

Yes the tablet charges by cable. If I choose recovery option I get a back lit black screen, download mode completely unrecognizable. Currently only boots into standard android.

If u mean that u can go into download mode but can't get a PC to see the device.... I would uninstall the drivers and Odin..reboot PC and reinstall drivers and Odin. Then try. If that doesn't work try a different version of Odin and/or drivers.
I have a Q and A thread with the necessary Odin files and cwm recovery to root the p7510...there is also a link to a qbking77 video.
Good luck...

well then we're down to the old battery drain trick....its been awhile since ive had to tell somebody how to do this....so give me until tomorrow night and ill see if i can find some good links to guides for you...
in the mean time you can google battery drain, bootloader, download mode and just about every other word combination you can think of for this method.....
..... which is to drain the battery to absolute zero...take it out...put it back in...plug the device in...and before the charging screen comes on you need to boot into the bootloader...
i know...sounds crazy,but ive seen it work time and time again...now those werent the exact steps...but i thougbt you would .eed atleast some sort of over view if you are going to go google hunting with me..lol
Same problem
I've the same problem. I'm trying to install Android in a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the download mode has "waiting for usb cable". Odin doesn't recognize it, adb doesn't either.

I'm really at lost here , please help

No USB connection to computer.

My LG E970 does not have an usb connection to the computer.
I tried connecting in fastboot and ADB via command prompt, the computer does not see it.
It says slow charging when connected to a computer, 2 different computers.
I have the LG united drivers installed, reinstalled and rebooted.
I was on 4.4 and I did a restore to stock ATT 4.1.2, still no luck.
I'm out of ideas.
EDIT:
I tried LGNPST from: http://pastebin.com/bRpR3aB6
I put it into download mode and the phone shows "DOWNLOAD MODE" "DO NOT UNPLUG the device until the process is complete"
It only shows that, LGNPST does not detect anything.

did you turn on "usb debug" in setting->Develop options?

Yes, it is on. Still only "slow charging mode"
Still not working after I flashed SnowLepoardJB's 800MB+ stock ROM. Any other suggestions?
Hi, I'm joining this thread since I have the same problem... My phone charges, but no device connection. Could there be a kernel module missing? Is there a way to check? A #lsmod type command?

Ok... I got a new USB cord and it works now.

Good for you. I tried different USB cords, and it still doesn't work.
Well, if you can select USB debugging and charge the phone over USB, but the phone doesn't notice the computer then it may be a damaged USB port... I saw a thread about that on a Kindle I think... But it sounds like software isn't the problem... Good luck.

I recently had the same problem and my solution was to use the Koush Universal ADB Driver recommended by someone else. Prior to that all I could see the contents of my SD card and external SD card on the computer but always had some sort of driver issues and Windows telling me my driver wasn't installed correctly.
Using the official LG driver from the website didn't seem to help either.
OK... I know this thread has gotten old, but here's the final deal... It wasn't "exactly" the USB cables. It WAS the plug. The plug wasn't broken, just very dirty. I cleaned it out with a toothpick and now even the old cord works fine... So if you can't get the computer and phone to recognize each other, try cleaning the micro port in the phone

My issue is that I can't connect to my computer with Windows 8.1 in Download Mode. If I want to flash, I need to find a friend who is using Windows 7. Can anybody help with this?
Other details: I've tried cleaning the ports, using another cable, using other USB connections, etc. When in Download Mode, SDK can't even detect the device. I'm pretty sure it's the fact that I'm using Windows 8.1, but I don't know what to do to fix this problem.
Thanks!

Not sure why you want to put your phone in download mode
If your just trying to connect your phone via USB to mount storage (meaning getting file off the internal storage and sd card), it should work fine.
If your trying to root your phone, you need to grab the android sdk and use the adb commands.

The reason is that my phone is "bricked." I'm caught in a boot loop. The bootloader is locked on my LG phone so I can only get into Download Mode to fix stuff. But I can't fix stuff if my computer doesn't recognize my device. (I can connect fine when my phone boots up properly; just not in Download Mode). I've installed and uninstalled the LG drivers many times, so this is not the issue. What can I do with my Windows 8.1 computer to connect with my phone in Download Mode? Again, I CAN connect to Windows 7 computers, but I don't have one convenient to use, and I don't want to install lots of software on friends' computers...

That is what I would like to be able to do, but it assumes your device is recognized. One of the other posts on the same thread mentioned a similar issue but didn't mention a solution.
I've done some more exploring. I have, again, uninstalled and reinstalled the appropriate LG E970 drivers from the LG support site.
- When I am in fastboot mode, I see the attached image "01 Android.png" in device manager.
- When I am in recovery mode, I see the attached image "02 LG E-970.png" in device manager.
- When my phone fully boots up, I see the attached image "03 LGE Android MTP Device.png" in device manager. At this point, and only at this point, abd will list my phone as a device.
The problem is, I need a connection to my computer from recovery / download mode in case of a boot loop.
Can anyone help?
