Any help will be appreciated ...I am very unhappy without my note lol...but yea i am
I would uninstall any Samsung Driver you have and then download fresh just the driver here: http://d-h.st/jfx then reinstall them and reboot you pc after uninstall and reinstalling.
And if you are running BStar, bigfau doesn't mind if you post your questions or issues in his thread, he and the folks there are very helpful and like keeps all in the thread.
Just a side note....
Okay will ask in the thread then thanks also tried what you said and uninstalled kies still get unknow device
So you have no Com connection in download mode while using Odin ?
If you have download mode, then Odin should work .....as the drivers on the device side are still working..
Or are you seeing the download " limp" mode ???
With the pictures of a computer and phone on your phone screen ????
If so ...go to the " note super everything thread " and scroll down to the post ...." Odin tips for better success "....
It explains a bit more ....
Good luck ......g
yes i just get a error 43 says windows has stopped device when i try to load the drivers it does nothing says has the most best driver for the phone i get into download mode shows the pic of android and says on top odin mode and my phones model number other than that it wont read to my pc so i can get the install going via odin or kies i currently have kies uninstalled did as Bigjoe said and uninstalled drivers and reinstalled all with always rebooting my pc

I might have accidentally bricked my SGS 2. I get a screen saying:
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
with a mobile phone and a computer logo with a Yellow triangle in between.
I know abt Rooting and ROM flashing etc and has been doing it for the last couple or years.
I flashed Franklin's XXKG3 Kernels, and before I could flash Chainfire's XXKG3 kernel, the USB ports refused to recognize my handset. I can still go into download mode but the Odin or Samsung Kies etc. won't do nothing.
Keeps saying "USB Device not recognized"
Please help!!!!

I had the same problem on my SGS4g after updating to a leaked 2.3.4 rom, which would not make phone calls. Tried to use heidmall to downgrade by loading a new rom. After installing the usb driver as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14798367&postcount=1 . After reboot I get the error screen <phone..!..Computer> "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again". I then took the following steps.
I came across this site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series#Bricked_Screen Under the bricked section it mentions a couple things to try. I the reboot cycle with a couple of times and kept on getting the same screen. Still no go.
I took Odia's advice an did a complete removal of all usb drivers as mentioned and reinstalled kies. This was key in getting odin to recognize the phone again.
My solution:
I try Odin again to try to get it to recognize my phone. I open odin with the usb connected in this state and it is not recognized. I pull battery, it boots to error screen. I restart odin and then plug in the usb and it is recognized. I was then able to load my pit, pda, phone, csc back onto the phone with odin. The first time it tried to load the data it failed, the second time it worked!
Interestingly I never got the "Download Screen". I was still on the mentioned error screen, yet odin was able to still see the phone. The status bar still showed up on the error screen as the fresh rom was being loaded.
I thought I was totally bricked, but this method worked in my case. Hope something similar might work for you.
I still don't know I would get this error screen and have to go through this after loading the required usb driver for heimdall? Any ideas?
OMG! It's WORKING!
Thanks a lot to you all guys for the co-operation....
So, what did I do???? I uninstalled Kies and re-installed a couple of times but it won't access it. Tried Odin in all possible ways, No success. While playing and after ordering a "Jig" from some1 in USA,
I thought of something else and while the phone still being connected with the pc, I ran SuperOneClick, but it went on saying waiting for the device,.... I accidentally or in frustration hit the "HOME" button and it started doing something, USB drivers and Modem drivers installed on PC. Then I started Odin and the port went "Yellow". And I flashed it with the XXKG3.....
OMG! I'm so much relieved!!!!!!!! thanks God
thank you all too
Love your SGS2 and love God! Bless you all!

I love you man! You saved my phone and me!
So what have we learnt today? Don't go screaming "brick!" everytime you encounter a problem
I had a same issue yellow triangle between Phone and PC symbol...
followed this step .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274337
just did like this on very first step to get into odin mode hold vol down and power for longer then usual to get into odin mode and by pass that yellow triangle between Phone and PC screen and then follow rest of it same and easy as right clicking on desktop LOL!
From my experience, only true brick I encountered was when I messed with boot loaders. If the screen shows anything at all, Odin will recognize it. Glad to hear it's fixed

I´d tried to upgrade my Infuse SGH-i997 (AT&T) but I did something wrong and now the cell phone no work.
When it turn on says:
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
The computer recognize the cell phone but I don´t know what else I can do.
Any suggestion?
Can you get into download mode? If yes then reflash stock firmware using Odin

A bricked phone is a phone which will not respond. It maybe a soft brick or hard.
If you can get into download or recovery all you have to do is reflash. Wipe data & Cache. You will be up and running. If your phone is not recognised by your computer then reinstall kies.

Well, I got this same Firmware upgrade error. I can't get the computer to see it at all. It's almost like the USB port doesn't work anymore. I can get into the download mode but then it ends there. I cannot get into the bootloader at all. If I try, it goes to the error screen and if I boot normally, it goes to the error screen.

I can't tell if you're asking for help or just letting people know, but anyway, considering all your previous posts were in the Epic 4G Touch forums, you've probably trashed your device flashing something meant for the I9100.

If you think you get working drivers installed, put your computer online, put your phone on download mode, plug the cable, and wait for it to install.
This is for windows 7, otherwise install the Samsung usb drivers again

That's hard.
If you do not get the PC recognize your phone in download mode, you have a real problem.
Try another USB port and cable.
Try to connect your phone to another PC.
Maybe you have to give it to a service center for repair.
Is your phone already out of warranty?
I had a similar problem where it freezes on that screen.
My problem was I installed an ICS rom with old version kernel.
Once I installed the latest CF-Root the boot was successful.
If Odin can't see your phone and you can still go into Download mode, I would check to make sure that Kies is not open and no Kies process is live (Task Manager / Processes), I think it's call "KiesTrayAgent", just kill the process and any process that has a Kies word in it.
Otherwise try another PC.

Galaxy S3 not being recognized in odin in download mode
Could someone please assist.
My rooted Galaxy S3 phone (FW v4.1.2) is stuck at the Samsung startup screen after installing a font app from the app store
To resolve I have tried:
1. The recovery screen - doing a factory reset and reboot
2.. Reflash through ODIN.
I can get get the phone into download mode but ODIN will not recognize the phone in Download mode (Funny that phone is recognised by Odin at the stuck Samsung boot screen)
- I have unistalled and reinstalled KIES and USB drivers
- I am using the stock USB cable
- Tried different USB ports on computer
- Tried on different computers
The problem may be Windows driver related. Because phone gets stuck at the Samsung startup screen, all processes of driver installation do not conclude successful. "MTP USB Device" shows error in Windows Device manager, USB composite deivce.
Uninstalled and reinstalled these a couple of times without success.
Please assist
Issues with usb on s3
Actually fixed my own Question....
My phone was in download mode and was not being recognized by my computer my windows 7 computer. I pressed the usb icon, where a box popped up saying that there was an unknown device. You could find this in device manager.
I then went to device manager to update the driver instead of pointing the device directly to the driver when i clicked browse my computer for software then it shows a location and option to let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer then a box pops up showing model above that there is a little check box uncheck that two boxes will appear with manufacturer and model
Scroll samsung electronics and model samsung mobile composite device that is what you want to update the driver to...
I pulled the battery then re-entered download mode and windows to over installing the rest now it works fine. I would attach images but it will not let me for some reason. if anyone can help with that I will do it later.
THIS COULD POSSIBLY help with devices not being found on computers in bootloader or just on rom loaded and running..

Hey guys, i know it's a bit late now, but i had exactly the same problem with my gt-i9300 (got stuck on samsung splash screen and odin didn't recognize it in download mode) and just realised that everytime, i connected my phone to my PC in download mode, a message would appear that "Gadget Device" (or something like that) was connected. Then i searched in my device manager for the name of it (i found it under USB-Devices) and uninstalled the driver of it. As i connected it again with odin started it would install the driver automatically and *swoosh* odin recognized it.
A year and some later after the last post and I seem to be having this problem as well... I believe it was due to a bad flash at very low battery level which ended up in encryption failure ya da da, factory reset, clear/format everything and flash custom rom from SD because any other connection would not work.... then managed to get windows (many flavors inc. 7, 8 and 10) to connect as MTP or in USB debugging mode but Odin mode (download) just won't do anything... i put the phone in DL mode, nothing happens, no windows connection sounds, no changes in devices manager, even when searching for new hardware. I'd be very interested to know if anyone has had anything like that. I'd really like to flash stock to go back to a custom rom, flash twrp to replace cwm but all seems to no avail if i can't get a connection while in DL mode.
tried to install adb fastboot but also nada since no connection is being made.... might be something with DL mode gone awry with the bad flash... long story but OTA update from current ROM decided on its own to push update even though battery was at 5% and no user interaction ever happened...
we'll see what happens...

Driver issue. Find the correct drivers.
Beamed in by telepathy.
Hello All,
I've been reading posts from here for a long time but this is my first post.
I'm coming here as a last resort to save my Galaxy s2 (SGH-T989) which has a stock ROM.
Here's what happened.
I dropped my phone and then it got stuck in bootloop (it only boots until I see the "SAMSUNG" word animation and stops there).
At that point, ODIN 'sees' that there's a connected device; KIES keeps "connecting...." but can't actually connect; ADB does not show any connected device.
So, what I wanted to do was to factory "reset" the phone. The problem is I can't get the phone into Recovery mode. I believe it's because my volume down button was acting up when the phone was working. However, I can get to "Download Mode" using a USB Jig.
So, the next thing to do is to flash a new stock ROM. However, whenever I connect my phone when it's in "Download Mode", ODIN does not see it.
Yes, I've installed, re-installed, removed, re-installed all drivers and Kies and I've done that so many times you can't even believe it.
The problem is that the device driver "SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" gives the following error "This device cannot start. (Code 10)", and I don't know why or how I can get rid of that. As mentioned above, I've tried all the device driver installation fixes but none has worked.
I mean, when the phone is not in Download Mode and I connect it to my PC, all device drivers are working fine with no error, but when it's in Download Mode, I get the error mentioned above "This Device cannot start.".
So, my questions:
1) Is there a way to get to Recovery Mode without using the button combinations? (The phone is in bootloop)
2) How can I fix the device driver error mentioned above to get ODIN to see my device?
3) Is there anything else I need to be doing?
This problem is really frustrating and I've been on it for more than 2 weeks and nothing has worked so far. Any help is greatly appreciated.
1. I think you have flashed an bad kernel if you cant get into recovery mode and i dont get it why your volume down acts like up?.
2. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943104 try to maybe also disable kies and try again.
3. Kies is on, adb doesnt work at samsung/download screen, try to reinstall samsung usb drivers again :/ yes I know but to be sure, disable driver signature or something like that if you are on windows 8.x, try another usb cable.
2weeks dont sound good. I hope these tips could help a bit but I still wonder why your phone got in bootloop when you dropped it !?!? What were you doing at that time and did the battery go out?

Thanks for the quick reply, wulsic.
1. No, I did not flash any kernel on this phone, everything on it is stock and was working just fine before it was dropped. I meant that the volume down was not working properly, not that it was acting like up.
2. I tried that but did not work
3. The drivers are working fine when the phone is not in Download Mode, it's only when it's in Download Mode that I get the error and I've tried re-installing drivers and everything, I think the problem is with the device itself not a driver problem.
