Ok, got a usb jig and can get into download mode no problem. I can't get phone to be recognized as anything other than an unknown device. Tried the samsung usb drivers as well as the adk drivers. 2 different pc's and 3 different cables. I am running CM7 and I want it back to factory so I can flash something that will allow me to save my family in the event of a fire. Odin never recognizes the phone. Is there someone who has went back to stock from cm7 on a vibrant and could provide me with the proper drivers?
Thank you!
What I did is I downloaded kies mini ince installed on the PC. Plug in the phone and it will download the required drivers for your phone. Once its completed power offthe phone get into download mode and turn on Odin. It should work. Worked for me

Yeah, Kies Mini is a very easy and effective method of installing Samsung Drivers. OP, I suggest you try it.

Hi guys im only new here,
Im not sure if i posted this in the right section feel free to move it MODs
Anyway I think i may have bricked my galaxy s2, I get a message that says "Firmware upgrade encountere...." ,after i tried to flash a stock rom back onto the phone after using lite'ning rom for a while, the process failed about half way through, I was using Odin, i can no longer get into recovery mode or clockwork recovery....I can still however get into download mode but my pc wont recognise the device through odin.....
I think it may be bricked
If the phone is bricked could i get a usb jig and reset the binary count to "0" and bring it to my authorised samsung repair shop, would they know i have rooted the phone and would my warranty still be covered?
Thanks for any help guys, i loved this phone and now its useless..
This should go into Q&A.
What stock firmware did you flash exactly? Stock carrier?

Hi I tried to flash an inscure.tar file, of a stock rom i found on a website i think it was KE7,.... sorry im a complete noob
No worries. That's why XDA is here for you to learn.
So you can get into download mode but Odin doesn't see your device. Seems like the Samsung drivers isn't installed on your computer. Try installing the device drivers manually. And see if Odin recognizes your device then.
EDIT: did you make sure kies wasn't running in the background when you're using ODIN?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Ok thanks for the help, kies was not running tin the background anyway, can you tell me how to manually install the drivers if possible?
Where can i get a stock firmware for a sgs2 sgh-I777? i loaded ics 4.0.3 and now my speaker and mic dont work during calls. Anyone have and ideas on how to get back to gingerbread? i have search for it and everywhere says it has been removed.
Try uninstalling kies and install again. Once installed plug in your device and see if it downloads the drivers that way.
I'll try and look for the drivers while you do that.

You'll have better luck in the at&t gs2 forums. You won't find your file here. Sorry
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Ok i will try that and get back to you
Sounds like a soft brick. I had problems flashing once (work computer was playing up) and it was complaining about needing an emergency firmware recovery in kies but I just re-flashed the rom when I got home and it was all good.
Hopefully it's the same for you.
The thing is I cant reflash because odin wont recognise the device, and i cannot get into recovery mode for a manual flash either :/

Hmmm strange. When you're in download mode and you plug into Odin what does it say?
Edit: what version of windows do you have?

Hi,
got a S3 since a few hours and KIES doens´t install on my X64 machine.
It just hangs in the installer.
Any suggestions?
thanks a lot, nearly
Make sure your S3 isn't plugged into your PC at the time. For some reason Kies wouldn't install for me while my S3 was plugged into my computer. Hope this helps...
Yep. Don't use it! Use Odin to flash firmware.

My Kies installation looped on 'Installing hotfix'. I just pressed cancel and it continued the installation. And it works fine afterwards as well.

You can use the SAMSUNG USB Drivers instead of Kies.

This is because of java - I can't remember which way round it is, but you either need to install it, update or uninstall it to get Kies to go past hotfix. I think its install
It's a common problem!

Try this thread. The OP is a few months old & there maybe more up to date drivers available now (have you hooked your phone up to your PC & run Windoze Update ?) but it's a start & only thread I know of on here off the top of my head that has a link to drivers on their own. Most people install Kies to get the drivers.
So...What I'd do is this:-
1) Hook phone up to PC & run Windoze Update & see if it installs drivers. Basically, if your phone & PC can see each other (you get the yellow highlight in ID:COM in Odin or you're able to transfer files to/from your phone/PC), you don't need to do the next two steps.
2) If your phone/PC still can't connect to each other after 1), get Kies from Samsung's website & install it.
3) Still no joy after 2) ? Install the drivers from that thread I linked you to.
If you're running Win7, the drivers normally auto install when you hook your phone up to your PC via USB. Older versions of Windoze might require one/both of the other steps.

Just got a s3 today after selling my htc one x and I want to root. I know hwp to do it but odin wont detect the phone. Tried restarting and using other usb ports but it still doesn't work. Not sure what the problem is.
Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers

I thought keis needed to run for the drivers. Even when I try to connect to keis it won't detect though
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
As @sriram231092 said correctly you have to stop ALL of kies related processes.
The kies is important so your OS will have the required drivers so the device could be recognized.
After installing kies, make sure you do a reboot and then, just before you start ODIN close all the kies related processes.
I also suggest you run ODIN as admin if you're running win 7 or above.

Does device manager(DM) recognizes your device ? try to uninstall drivers from DM and re-connect your phone.
I also suggest using back door input for your usb.

Try to restart your pc/laptop? Take out the usb cable, restart windows, stop kies, start odin, plug in usb and it should say added.
Ps: you only needed kies to install your phone drivers, so make sure it has installed the drivers, you can check by normally starting your phone, plug in usb and see a popup msg.

Yeah, I am already loving it. Installed ARHD pretty much straight away.
I'm much preferring this phone to the one x I had, everything right down to the volume of the speaker I think is better.
Well it's great to hear
