I am trying to root my SGS3 international via Odin. The problem is that when I connect it to the computer in download mode, nothing happens. The device is not detected and the drivers are not being intalled. Worst of all ID : Com does not turn blue/yellow and the device is not added to Kies.
I have installed Kies, separate driver packs, I have tried different cables, different usb ports (on and off the mainboard of the PC), I have googled the problem for hours and still cannot figure it out.
Any advice?

You might have the same issue as I had.. I flashed a new firmware via Mobile Odin Pro.
Drivers shoudnt be installed when phone is in download mode but when its connected to the computer.. Before or after KIES is installed.
Did it work? Does anything happen at all?

Thank you for your reply.
I thought of that myself. But in order for me to use Mobile Odin Pro, I nedd to get root and in order to get root, I need to use Odin to flash the root files.
Nothing happens at all when the phone is connected to the computer in download mode. If the phone is booted in android, the drivers begin to install and Odin sees the phone (needless to say, I cannot flash while in Android mode). When I reboot in download mode, nothing happens.
have you made sure kies isn't running in the background? You need to kill all kies processes before using Odin or it may interrupt your flash. Aside from that you could uninstall kies and drivers and just try inhaling the drivers on their own? Which Windows version are you using? Xp can be problematic
Any idea whatsoever would be welcome

have seen a few reports of defective cables, but more likely a server problem or port problem, try a Google or search the threads as there have been quite a few posts regarding this matter, unfortunately I haven't got any links to hand

I have tried all 4 ports on my laptop and the SAMSUNG MTP DRIVER for Kies still fails to install, I have deleted it and reinstalled, manually pointed it to the USB Driver directory and yet it still fails, anyone any ideas?
Did you try rebooting the phone? Kies also didn't recognized mine and a reboot fixed this.
Tried a reboot still no good DRIVER NOT SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED
Millions of posts on this subject a read of them may find a solution .
Laptops do seem more of a problem in this regard .

Kies has an option to install the correct drivers for it on the computer, have you tried that option? I believe its under tools.

Yes, same problem
Right well problem half solved, had to phone Samsung, I had to tick USB Debugging, so ticked that all drivers installed correctly with no errors, I then had to untick and reconnect, so did that, it goes through installing drivers again and once again fails and phone still not detected. Samsung might copy a few things from apple, but the slogan "It just works" doesn't appear to be one of them.
Wasted 3 hours on this, time to admit defeat, is Kies really needed anyway? I can get music etc on the phone fine without it.
You only need Kies for official updates as opposed to stock Samsung updates via XDA .Well before Kies updates also .

It's obvious isn't it? The issue was Vista.
I had the same problem with Kies under Win7 x64.
Latest Kies, latest USB drives.
What got it to work, was switching back to TwLauncher instead of MXHome I was using at the time.
No idea why the laucher affected the USB interface.

I might give this a shot. I somehow managed to miracle a connection to Kies today, just don't ask me to do it again. Typically it's a no go. Also on Win7 64 bit, laptop.
This was an issue pre and post root. I may just back up my phone the old fashioned way if it continues to be a PITA.
I had this and noticed when i plugged it in, the windows connection sound would play but would play the disconnected sound immediatley when the mtp mode was launched in the phone. A second later the connected sound would play again but kies didn't find the phone.
I got round this by getting kies to start when phone is connected. This remains the only way it will recognise my phone

1. is your phone rooted? if yes, i believe kies cannot detect rooted phone
2. definitely not the problem of XP, i have no problem with my XP, one possibility could be your XP something corrupted, suggest you try on other pc.
Kies can detects rooted phones so that is not an issue.
You could put your phone in Download mode, and connect it to your pc and then run odin. If Odin detects it then it is not your drivers. If Odin cannot find a phone then obviously there is an issue with the drivers.(btw you dont have to do anything in odin for it to find it)

But as said the problem is that i dont have drivers at all on my computer for my phone, still i have latest update of kies..
Then do waht MistahBungle says. If your drivers arent installed kies is doing something wrong. Uninstall kies, delete the entire remaining Kies folder from program files, Clean up your registry and reboot your pc.
Once you have done that, Redownload Kies from the samsung website, make sure its the windows 32 bit(x86) version(as im guessing you are running that as XP) and install it.
Once it is installed. Reboot your computer. Turn your phone on and make sure USB debugging is completely turned off and then plug the phone in to your pc.
MistahBungle said:
Given you say you've tried *everything*, if it were me, I'd try a different PC. If it still doesn't work, user error; probably something really simply we're missing/you're not doing. Impossible to say what it is as we're not there with you looking over your shoulder.
Actually, I saw a thread on here last week, someone had tried everything like you & they fixed it by uninstalling Kies, removing Kies registry entries, rebooting, downloading/installing a fresh copy of Kies (for the drivers), running Windoze Update, rebooting. Fixed. Maybe try this before another PC.
You also must check Windoze Task Manager & kill Kies/any associated processes. You only want the drivers, not Kies/it's processes running when you use Odin.

So, I cannot connect my phone to any pc.
Problem started after re-installing Windows 7 I believe.
The phone charges fine over usb.
Here's what I have tried so far:
I have changed mtp to ptp.
I have tried using different usb cables and ports
I have re-installed windows 3 times
I have installed Samsung drivers and kies, and tried fixing the error thru kies.
I have tried different kernels (Siyah and stock cm10 kernel)
I have tried on a different pc.
I have tried the stock sgs3 rom, it has Siyah kernel.
I have tried turning USB debugging on and off.
Galaxy S3 toolkit doesn't recognize my phone.
Any help is appreciated.

You say you already tried stock rom with Siyah Kernal. How did you get back to stock did you flash or use Odin?
I would make a backup, Use Superwipe script and use Odin to load Stock Ics 4.0.4 and then try. If that fails you can always restore back to your backup and someone else maybe able to provide a solution.
TBH it doesn't sound like its your PC if you have tried it on other PCs.

Uninstall Kies completely from your PC when its uninstalled reboot your PC then make sure the Kies folder located here is deleted
Program Files / Samsung / Kies
Next download and install Kies from the Samsung web site, reboot your PC once rebooted plug your phone in to the USB (preferably with the original USB cable), let the drivers install themselves.
Once installed you should have it working again.

Done, it says USB device not recognized.
I'm currently installing Kies on a laptop, if it works it means that my motherboard is broken or something, if it doesn't it means my phones usb port is broken.
E: Okay, this windows is saying that the device is in error mode or something like that...

Pants. I'm in the same situation, but my phone isn't rooted. So I can't use mobile odin. Anyone else have any thoughts on this? Is there any way of using stock recovery to either flash an official image or perhaps root?

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.

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

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.

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.

Windows 10 to win7

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.

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.
