ODIN does NOT recognize my Droid Charge
Fist of all let me tell you what I have done to resolve this on my own:
Uninstalled/Re-installed the drivers for the Droid Charge
Put device into USB Debugging mode
Unknown sources are checked
Power cycled
Uninstalled/re-installed ODIN
Tried different pc's (all Windows)
Tried different USB ports on all of the pc's I have used
Factory reset on the device
I have read blogs that other people are having this same issue, suggested those troubleshooting steps, they did not work for others but hey I might get lucky right? And this is still a no go, so could someone PLEASE provide me with the correct troubleshooting steps to take to resolve this?

Hi
i was installing a stock rom last night and I got the Firmware Upgrade encountered....
The phone wont boot into recovery, it will how ever go into download mode but odin will not detect it no matter what I do
Tried every set of drivers I could find, no luck.
I am on windows 7 64 bit.
Is the phone bricked, it shows no binary count in download, would it be covered under warranty?
Really need to get my phone back if anyone can help, I have tried everything at this stage, I think
Thanks
Did you already installed the Kies software? It will install the Galaxy S2 drivers, maybe that is the problem. If it really doesn't work, try another computer with the Kies functioning!

dont forget that you need to start odin before you plug the phone in, if you can get into download mode then it's not bricked

Done that mate, thats the frustrating part, I can get into DL and know what to do but on three computers, I cant get it to work and ODIN always worked for me. I have had at least 300 roms on this phone but being stuck in DL mode sucks when I cant get progress, even returning to stock and using the factory tar files. I cant get any furhter than DL screen thanks for your help
Hi all, I understand this issue has been posted many times but I may have a different issue than most. Both of my s2 phones cant be seen by Odin in debugging mode but recognized when booted up.
1. I have checked and both Samsung USB and ADB drivers are installed fine and seen in devices and printers within windows 7. (tried different flavours of the driver too)
2. Debugging mode is on before going into download mode
3. I have tried 2 known working cables as I used them previously to update.
4. Tried 3 different versions of Odin
5. Tried 4 different USB ports
One is on stock android ICS and the other on the wrong version of ICS I9100P instead of I9100. I did this in error when first playing with ROMs.
I haven't tried it on another machine although that may be an option later next week. I am guessing it has to be the PC but at a loss as to what could be causing it.
Any help would be appreciated since I have been playing around with this for 4 hours and getting no where.
thanks in advance

Well Chris, it's time for you to download Kies.
And close the antivirus just in case.
Laptops are good for this kind of thing too.

It happened to me once. I just restarted my laptop and it works.
But make sure that Samsung drivers is installed. uninstall the kies and disable your anti-virus.

I tried rebooting and disabling the antivirus but it made no difference. Never tried it without kies installed, although I opened up task manager and killed all related processes to do with kies. I suppose its something to try tonight!
I checked to see if kies would see the devices and the GT-I9100 Stock ROM connected fine but the fact that I have a foreign rom on the other one causes issue.
Its an odd one
uninstall all the adb or samsung drivers including kies restart and then just only install kies

Its worth a try mate, I will give it a go tonight.
I have been going over it in my head. It has to be the adb driver as it works in kies, gets recognised by odin when turned on and affects multiple devices. What really puzzles me is that when in download mode the driver loads fine and the phone is showing in devices and printers. The only thing not seeing it is odin.
Try 3 odin versions at least.
Another usb port/cable.
Another pc/laptop.

Yeah, in the end I just put the os image and kernel on an sd card then ran them direct. That way I didn't need to use Odin or a pc at all!

Thank you. I'll keep your suggestion on hand. I just found a twrp zip that I was able to flash an atm I'm downloading a stock rom which I go hope will install. A year ago or two I attempted a rom install but I guess it got something stuck in its throat during the flash. Hopefully this will clear it out

Wow, looks deep. How do you ruin a motherboard with software? That sounds scary. Like ghosts are involved.
So I soft bricked my S II plus and I when tried to access ODIN to flash an official ROM , ODIN doesnt detect it , i've tried installing all the drivers ,changing USB cables and even pc's still it doesn't work , I got a fried to bring his S III to test with my pc and ODIN doesnt register even his device .
is there any way i can flash to stock ROM and just turn everything back to normal using CWM ? I just dont wanna root my phone no mpre
There was a reply to a thread in Q&A a couple of hours ago where someone listed the troubleshooting steps for when 'Odin doesn't work'. Search for that thread (skim similar threads in Q&A over the past 12 hrs or so), go through the steps.

Nothing seems to be working to get ODIN to detect it :/
I tried to flash ROM with CWM it just says "(bad)"
If you've tried everything (and I mean everything. Not 2 or 3 things) including trying with different PC's, without a screenshot/pic of the Odin output we'd have absolutely no idea why it's failing. However, if you'd care to give us a pic/screenshot of the Odin output when you try & flash, maybe we can figure out why.

I would have thought my post was pretty clear. You're obviously out of your depth & shouldn't be messing with your phone. What we need is a pic/screenshot of the Odin screen from your PC when it's failing like this
I just got too excited when everyone was rooting their phones , shouldn't have done it at all :/
My problem is no (yellow bar) is coming out from odin when i plug in download mode at first it could but after i formatted my phone from CWM it couldnt detect anymore , and I tried with two other laptops and even a different cable
Im so sorry to take up your time :/
(ODIN just looks like normal when i plug everything in :S)
OK. I thought Odin could detect OK but the flash was failing at that stage. So you still can't get the phone & PC to recognise each other given everything you've tried.
Honestly, I can't think of anything else you can do. I'd suggest you keep trying tho. Not a lot else you can do beyond that (Unless there's something really simple/obvious we're all missing here).
Edit -Right. List everything, and I mean everything you've tried to try and get the phone & PC to recognise each other/get Odin to work. Every single little step. Details. The more details you provide, the better the chance you get your phone fixed. The less details you provide, the less likely that is to happen.

Ok , I have tried
-Installing Kies , samsung Usb drivers and every driver i could fine for samsung (ADB)
- I tried both ODIN v1.85 ,3.04
-different USB cables
-Diferent pc's (2 laptops)
-Friends S III ( sadly even his wasn't detected)
-Formatting every single option there was in CWM
-tried flashing using CWM (failed with installation aborted *bad*)
- I even ended Kies processor before running ODIN
- windows update
You missed:-
Different USB ports (and different USB ports on different PC's - you must use a 'mainboard' port, if you don't know what it is, Google it).
Try Odin V1.3
Have you used the USB cable that came with the phone ? Uninstall Kies. Reboot. Redownload Kies from Samsung website. Reinstall. Reboot. Run Odin as administrator in Windows (R-click the Odin .exe & choose 'run as administrator').
That's all I got given it's almost 3.30am here.

There, your friend's SIII wasn't recognised. You wanna pay a friend a visit to use his/her pc with no kies pre-installed. You go and get it's latest version and repeat all steps.
When you say "kies processor" you mean one kies application running or all 4 that there are actually running?

Well now I have reinstalled Kies , but this time when i plug the usb be in , I can hear my pc detecting it but ( Mobile USB Modem 1.0) fails to install in windows update .
and i've tried with my 2 other laptops without kies installed
oh and I end task for KiesPDLR.exe (said by someone in a post here in Xda)
Are you hitting 'end process tree' when you close Kies in Windoze Task Manager ? It's important anything associated w/Kies is closed, not just the main application.
Hey everybody. I didn't get any replies in the vibrant section, and I figured it is also an over all samsung product question so here goes. I bought a very messed up samsung galaxy vibrant t959 off a friend for $20 hoping I could fix it. They had flashed a captivate rom to it but I can still manage to get it into download mode. But heres the problem. Odin wont recognize it when I plug it in it just says windows does not recognize device has malfunctioned or something along the lines of that, the bubble shows up over and over every two seconds. I got odin to recognize it once before, but my brother unplugged it XP. Now I can not get odin to recognize it again, any tips? I have a linux computer at my disposal as well if that helps. I am familiar with flashing, odin, android sdk, adb. I know I have drivers installed good because the same cable with the same port and same computer I actually modded this same device before my friend messed it up. Any help at all would be much appreciated.

I would recommend uninstalling and then re-installing your USB drivers and see if Odin will then recognize the phone. Another alternative would be to see if Heimdall recognizes the device and use that to flash the stock ROM to the device. If you are unfamiliar on how to use Heimdall I would recommend taking a look at this guide.

You can try it on Linux I can't guarantee it will make a difference but I would try it anyway. If you are going to try it on Linux make sure you configure USB access for the device correctly in order for the computer to recognize your phone.

Relax.. I understand how frustrating it can be.
I need a detail explanation of what you did to get it into that state and what you've tried. A bullet point list will suffice. I just need to know so I can work out how buggered it is and where to go from here.
I need to know which PC operating system you're using, which variant of s3 you have including its region (this can be determined by the sticker in the battery compartment unless you already know.
There is a possibility it is your os not detecting the device because of drivers but if you've tried formatting and starting over then it shouldn't have any issues. The only other option is to manually edit the drivers ".cat" file with the s3's actual physical address before installing the drivers, but this is in extreme circumstances when the os is not "playing ball".
Also remove kies or at least stop all of its running processes when using odin.
My advice at this stage is to manually remove all drivers from the pc OS regarding the s3 and wait until we figure out where the s3 is at. I have a gdrive with some useful stuff that I know works on Windows XP flawlessly. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4vTiHTBB629ZW5vQndpbjFnblk
One question though.. When you pull the battery out and reinsert it. Does the phone automatically boot to download mode, is it stuck there permanently or does it boot loop?.

1st of all I want to thank you bro for reply...
Now..
I am using Windows 10 64bit, using Samsung galaxy sIII GT-I9300 Indian single sim varient.
I rooted it using KingoRoot successfully but I found I wasn't able to get SuperSU and without that I was not able to use root fun properly so I tried to flash the same with flashFire.. it failed as it require SuperSU. So I tried installing TWRP recovery from playstore and it started flashing and after reboot, It stuck on the Downloading mode.. No matter how many buttons I tried pushing combined it stuck on downloading mode...
I tried almost all method on YouTube and websites but it still don't work. Worst thing .. I tried fixing the same by Kies as well as ODIN but .. I never detect my phone.. when i connect my phone after uninstalling and Or installing the samsung driver and Kies as well.. windows didn't recognise it.
I am about to give up n this and almost ready to smash the phone with wall hammer and throw it under my car tyres but I committed myself not to do that before 14th May.
The problem is most likely Windows 10 64bit. I'm quite sure the drivers don't agree with them.
You're going to have to find an older OS and try it. Either use a virtual machine or dual boot and load up a real OS like XP. Then we can begin the proper problem solving. I hate putting percentages on things but I'm 90% confident that windows 10 is an issue here, mainly for the fact it is 64bit and the drivers aren't made for that.
As for button combo's if they don't work while booting and it goes straight to download mode then there is a big problem and it could be bricked. You can try holding just the power button for about 15 seconds while in download mode and it "should" attempt to reboot. If not then as I said, big issue ahead.
No matter what you need to get it seen by odin so get yourself xp somehow and use the stuff on my gdrive. You need to get yourself a copy of the latest firmware for your phone, ready to flash via odin should you get it to see the phone.

No matter what you need to get it seen by odin so get yourself xp somehow and use the stuff on my gdrive. You need to get yourself a copy of the latest firmware for your phone, ready to flash via odin should you get it to see the phone.

If you can afford to have them look at it then it's up to you but you will be billed for it as the s3 is out of warranty. They haven't made the s3 for about 3 years now.
