Well, I have this experience while flashing my friend's phone and here what I've done:
-reboot my computer
-connect the phone, kill all kies related process (I'm using Windows) and start odin. If odin recognise your phone at this point, you are good to go else you might want to reinstall usb drivers.
-use full wipe odin files I found from internet (I got from the pirate bay with search key ics full wipe)
-got few files in that folder. Hope you know their function. Or you can ask here.
Hope this helps.
edit: you also can try to plug into different usb port that have different usb controller

If Odin adds and removes quickly, this looks like your USB cable is dead, try flashing with another - Genuine- one
I had a similar issue while flashing my former SGS1: flashing process interrupted suddenly at 50%

A similar kind of thing happened to my phone as well when I was upgrading to 4.0.4 from gingerbread via Kies. The installation got stuck when the phone was in the download mode and I had no other option than to disconnect. But yours got stuck while using Odin. I would suggest you to flash the firmware again. I hope your phone goes into download mode now. As for the drivers, uninstall everything related to samsung from your PC and then reinstall it. DO NOT UPGRADE SAMSUNG KIES IF IT ASKS YOU TO DO SO! AS I TOLD YOU A SIMILAR THING HAPPENED TO MY PHONE. MY PC COULD'NT RECOGNIZE IT AND I REINSTALLED EVEYTHING AND IT FINALLY SHOWED SOME SIGN. MAKE SURE YOUR ANTIVIRUS IS FULLY DEACTIVATED WHILE YOU EXECUTE THE FLASHING OPERATION!

first of all, while your phone is disconnected from USB cable, can you enter download mode?if no, then try to find someone that have JIG. else, as leech4 said, this might caused by your USB cable. OR might caused by your USB port of your PC. as i said earlier, try to repair your USB driver (not sammy USB driver, but your PC's usb driver). flash using ODIN, and kill kies services from task manager as kies will conflict with ODIN later. here i give you LSJ link(thanks to ApriliaM3) in case you don't have. extract the zip and use all the PDA, PHONE and CSC file. you can even use PIT to re-partition your system. (tested and proven to be working). good luck mate.:good:

I already uninstall all usb driver , and install back, it still cant work. my hf will restart every 5 sec. that why i cant connect properly. any suggestion ?

Talk to Samsung not us.
Next time do some research into your model and info on how to flash it properley before jumping in and screwing your device up.

Wow, I suspect this kind of brick or what so ever others called it. I've read some where, and they talking about JIG. If what they mean is the same like what I understood from my electronic knowledge, then you have to find someone that have JIG to do further troubleshooting directly from your board, not via usb. Well, I'm just saying. You might want to seek for other solution first since it's your device.

Not actually true. It just needs to be a working micro USB cable. I use a generic micro USB cable (originally for a BlackBerry, I think) for all my flashing. Works fine.
this doesnt work guys, iv tried 3 different usb cables. nothing is happening it just wont connect. is it a way of installing a usb driver for my phone so it will reckonise my phone??

Yes i tried all that with no luck i just cant get my phone connected to my laptoo if i could I
could unbrick
Check for Windoze updates if you're unable to get your PC & phone to recognise each other after trying the obvious (different USB ports, different cables, different versions of Odin, making sure Kies/its processes aren't running in Task Manager on PC. Try *all* of these).
This has solved the issue for a few people over the last week or so. Failing that, uninstall Kies from your PC, reboot, redownload it, reinstall it, reboot & try again.
If that doesn't work, try a different PC.

This method not required to connect your mobile to PC.
Just need external sdcard and ics based recovery
If you are ics recovery version , we can come from this issue.
1, download any ics ROM ( stock based ) and copy to your external sdcard.
2, root the mobile using this way
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
[GUIDE] ROOT/UNROOT Stock ICS Firmware without flashing unsecure kernel
3, as per the above guide once you flashed cwm.zip , you will get cwm based recovery screen.
4, wipe system and cache
5, install the custom ROM from external sdcard
I believe this method will work for you.
All the best

I believe it won't since he bricked his device and can't even start the phone.
Do what MistahBungle said + make sure that you install Kies first so that you have the proper drivers for Odin.
i have tried this methed. copied all the files on to the sd card, inserted back into the phone put into recovery but would not read external sd card only internal comes up????
That's nice.
Now have you tried the other suggestions that have been made ? If your phone & PC can't/won't recognise each other, you need to fix that first. Forget about CW not working. It's not relevant. You're not going to fix this without an Odin flash and making that happen should be your focus/priority.

I'm having the same issue today, i flashed the siyah kernel beta and now recovery doesn't work and phone stays on Samsung logo.
I can get into download mode but pc says unrecognised device . It was working fine a few days earlier.
Unfortunately my Samsung USB cable appears to have vanished too but I don't see why my other cable shouldn't work as long as it supports data? Maybe the cable is the issue though??
Might be. Try the (many) suggestions on the first page. Any one of those could be/resolve the problem. In addition to those suggestions, you can also try uninstalling Kies on your PC, rebooting, re-downloading it, reinstalling it, rebooting & then seeing if your PC & phone recognise each other.
But definitely try those other suggestions first.

This is definitely NOT a cable issue. I have the same problem, and i too was using Siyah. It's something with the kernel.

OK have had this problem, CWM is gone bye bye - bootloop, download recovery mode possible on phone but can't connect using Odin. Right??
See this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449771
You will need all the files, make sure Keis is not messing with Odin so check to make sure it's not running on the PC.
Have had this happen to me - keep the files safe and you will fix pretty much any brick u manage to do. Mine was in CM9 - dropped and battery fell out had to do the full repair job to fix.

If you have a memory card slot in your laptop, couldn't you take it out of your phone, put it in laptop. Download stock 2.3.5 firmware put it Back in then reboot into recovery and flash? Just an idea. Hope you find a solution soon!

HELP, Galaxy SII not connecting to pc via USB

hi boys and girls.
I have a problem here.,
I updated my Galaxy S II to ICS which made a mess of things. (crashes, freezes, force closes apps not working etc, so I decided to go back to Gingerbread.
It seemed to have worked until I got to the set up new phone screen at which point Im getting an error message that reads:
The application Google services framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.
I plug it into my pc and it is not recognized., I cannot flash the rom again because my pc is not detecting my phone.
any advice?
thnx.
You should still be able to connect to your phone while it's in download mode in order to flash a new ROM. Or in CWM for that matter.
If you can't connect in either download or CWM, then unless you have the wrong drivers, your usb port is busted man.

by not recognized do you mean;
It does not charge or give any indication that the connection is made
or
it charges (may or may not give you USB file transfer option) but the pc says "drivers were not installed" even if you have the drivers installed already
i'm sure you're probably well beyond my knowledge with these things but just in case try debugging on and debugging off...

I cant flash a new ROM because my devices is not detected., my USB ports are working fine. I plug in my phone., I hear the tone the computer makes when a device is connected., phone begins charging but I cannot do anything else with it because its not detected so I cant flash or do anything else.
All drivers are installed and all my Galaxy Note is all good and kies sees it.
Thank you guys for all your help but I just solved the problem.
I went into download mode and using kies even though kies and my pc said no device was connected.
then I chose firmware upgrade and initialization., followed the onscreen instructions and now my GS2 is back in business.
the only thing is Im still stuck with ICS which sucks ass!! apps that used to work dont work anymore., phone crashes freezes and force closes.
now that I know how to fix it maybe I can find a working Stock Gingerbread ROM

I would try uninstalling Kies and then reinstall it. This should reinstall the drivers (when you connect the device via usb) and may fix the problem. There are different drivers for each device Sammy makes.
I fixed it., thanks.

Did you try simply doing a factory data reset? I found when I had problems with programs that force close and things like that a factory data reset always takes care of the problem.

No, I wasnt able to do anything with the phone except put it into download mode.
To fix this you need to use the Kies software and then boot your phone in Samsung recovery now ( turn off the phone now press middle button + -ve volume key +power button) go to "tools" in Kies software then select "Firmware upgrade and initialization" wait for 30 sec and then disconnect the phone and restart the phone by keeping the power button pressed for 5 seconds till the phone restarts. once the phone comes back up connect the phone to the USB cable and it should work.
Note: This issue happened when i tried to upgarde my rooted phone from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 and it got stuck at 99%.
Please let me know if the post helped any one else

wanted to unroot phone with mobile odin but it got worse

I really need help, please don't ignore this thread.
I wanted to unroot my phone to send it to samsung service so that they repair my nearly defect mini-USB port.
I reseted the counter and removed the triangle successfully. Then, because I can't connect the phone to Odin on PC
I decided to install mobile Odin and unroot it by flashing a stock ROM. And now I am stuck at the Galaxy S2 logo without
recovery so that I atleast restore from a backup. I can't even connect the phone to Odin on PC.
please help me!!!
Can you still go to download mode? If you can, then please flash a stock firmware/rom right away.
If you can't enter download mode, then a USB jig might be of great use to you

Thanks for the quick reply.
I can enter download mode, but my problem is that odin won't recognize my phone on pc
because of the "nearly" defect usb-port, well that's what I think atleast :S
nobody wants to help me :/
As you're rooted you have CWM app right?
Can you open that and choose reboot in recovery?
Or maybe try flashing the firmware again.

My problem is that I can't even boot the phone.. I can only boot in download mode but the usb-port is damaged and odin won't recognize the phone... But if I send it to repair, the triangle is away and counter reseted, they must replace the usb-port and flash a firmware so they are not going to be able to see the phone rooted or am I wrong?

Mmmm not sure what steps a service centre will take to repair your phone. Perhaps your usb port has a bad connection as the pc knows something is connected to it, it just doesn't know what. Have you tried cleaning it gently with a toothbrush and a different usb cable?

[Q] SGS3 Wont connect to pc

Ok ,so heres my problem:
My S3 (i9300) wont connect to my computer which is running windows 7. I plug it in, and there is no sound for a device connected, no confirmation, and all the gs3 does is charge. it doesnt even show the little usb symbol at the top on the status bar. i've also tried two different cables, two computers, and ive cleaned the usb port on the phone.
This is all pretty recent as well. it used to connect fine on stock and the same on cm9, but one day when i plugged it in, it said unrecognized device, and from then on, the computer doesnt even know its connected anymore. i restored back to my original stock backup that had worked fine before, but still no progress. Kies has been uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times and so have the drivers for samsung phones..
Download, extract and install, then try again

going to be a driver issue if it charges, install KIES first as that provides the necessary samsung drivers too. If this doesnt work then uninstall the USB controller you phone is connected to, unplug the phone and reboot. Leave the phone out and install KIES again.The try again.
Could be your cable too though, have you swap tested anything yet, does a different cable work or does the cable work ok in another PC?

I'm reinstalling KIES right now and ill try it with two different usb cables. If neither work, then ill try uninstalling the usb controller as you said and then go through the process once more. ill get back to you on it all when I'm done.
I have a few no-brand, cheap microUSB cables that allow only for charging the phones: they don't let me get a data connection between the phone (or whatever) and the PC.
Other USB cables work ok, so I know the problem is not with the phone.
You don't need (and shouldn't) install KIES only because of the drivers.
The only drivers you should install from the only trusted source are these:

I had the same problem.
I tried EVERYTHING. I did tons of research and tried them all, nothing worked.
I fixed my problem by sending my phone in and getting it fixed. I think they replaced the hardware.
Your phone is likely having a hardware issue, get it sent in, this is the only way.

since this option is really quick to try, ill do that right now.
As for the cable I'm using, the one that I've been trying the most is the one that would work before i started having these issues. The other cable that i have is the one that came with my phone.

The only problems with that are: 1) My phone is rooted and 2) That might take a while... what im bascially trying to do now is get it to work with my pc so that i have the possibility of unrooting and putting my music on it directly through the cable, rather than removing my microsd and having to put that into an sd adapter.
I'm having the same issue with my AT&T version. I have CM10 installed. I flash back to stock via Odin and I can get it to work, but as soon as I flash back to CM10 after rooting it won't connect.

Did you flash back to the stock that the phone came with? I'm currently on a nandroid backup of my stock software that's rooted and I know as a fact did work at one point in time, but for some reason just refuses to connect to my pc.

No I am flashing to a stock rooted touchwiz and I can connect to my phone when its done. When it reboots it goes into a loop so I have to reboot it and wipe data/factory reset, then reboot. When it comes back on it still won't connect, so then I reflash stock root again using Odin and it comes back with USB connection working. I think some files are getting corrupt on the phone when flashing to CM10.
I had the same problem before, I used a different charger and it worked.. idk what it was
Well right now I am on Stock TW that is rooted and I can get into my phone via Windows Explorer. But if I was to put Clock work Mod back on it seems to not want to connect anymore. So it seems CWM is doing something weird.
I'm gonna install TWRP instead of CWM and see if that makes a difference.

I think that this could be what's happening. When I restore to my rooted touchwiz, all I do is restore and that's it. Could you explain exactly what you do to get it working again? I'm a bit of a noob so I just need it explained a little simpler.

Look for the rooted image for your phone for stock. Put your phone in download mode and use Odin to reflash it back to stock not a restore. Use this site for help: http://galaxys3root.com/category/galaxy-s3-unroot/
Its worked for me every time. You may have to flash it twice with Odin to get it to work, that's what I usually have to do.

My issue ended up being an app I had installed, Triangle Away. I uninstalled and rebooted and had my USB connection back.
Well, so far, all I've gotten it a "usb cable connected" notification when trying yet another cable. Although i got this notfication, i still couldnt see any of the files on it from my pc, so it basically wasn't really connected. Im not sure what to do from here.
My ultimate goal would be to be able to unroot it so that if i needed to send it in or whatever, then i could without worry. As a side question, is there anyway to unroot it without a pc?

[Q] Please help me to go back to stock rom / problem with connecting to PC

Hi, I have asked this question few months ago but i couldn't get the answer and also, somehow I couldn't login so I have made the account again and I have been searching around to find out the answer for my problem but I couldn't
I have few questions/issues.
I have Galaxy S3 (GT-9300). I have brought in it New Zealand but it was unlocked phone. So when I did was installing the omega rom, I found out that the rom it had was the rom from one of the europe countries (I can't remember)
I was wondering if I can install any GT-9300 stock rom to get back to stock rom phone or do I somehow have to find out which stock rom it had before?
The other question is that I was trying to reinstall and update the omega rom from the scratch by going to stock rom then installing the latest omega rom. But my phone somehow won't connect to the PC, it charges properly and I know its not the computer or cable 's problem. I have searched and searched on google but couldn't find any solution to resolve that. (Tried different versions of Kies, tried removing everything turning off the phone and restarting, tried to changed to tfs(?) mode and other stuff)
Because of that, I can't use Odin to change Roms or anything. Is there anything I can do to resolve this problem or changing Roms without connecting to the computer?
Currently, I have Omega v54.
Thank you so much
Go read the sticky thread in general forum, how to return to stock.
You can use any firmware for the i9300 but best is the latest for your country.
Sorry but the main problem is that my phone is not getting recognized by the computer so i cant use Odin to do that. Please read the whole contents
Try different versions of drivers.
Sent from my GT-I9300
What do you mean by different drivers?
I have tried all the USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 slots on my pc
but no luck.
The message i am getting is ' USB Device Not Recognized' 'One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message'
You have skipped several steps in the learning process. Go read the sticky thread in general forum, you'll need the correct Samsung drivers to connect your pc with Odin.
I did that while ago, and did that again this morning. uninstalled kies, installed latest Samsung USB driver. but exactly same as before.
same usb error message. and on the device manager, it shows up as unknown device.
another thing I found is that on *#7284# (Service mode) I can only find UART : MODEM, PDA USB: MODEM, PDA. (I have tried this with USB debug mode)
Kies stops Odin from working
Sorry I think you are keep saying the same thing but I DO NOT HAVE Kies. didn't have it for at least 4 months now.
and its the problem with connection to the PC more than going back to stock rom.
Need to resolve the connection problem first to do the Odin step.
please read the messages properly before reply.

Thank you Thank you so much. Its working. my computer is recognizing the phone. :laugh:
How did you do that? is it a special driver?
Now I can start on going back to stock rom
Oh, It worked for about 5 minutes and it stopped working again.
Only thing I did is opening the phone folder on the computer to see if I can actually see the files. I am not sure why. I have tried to uninstall and install again. but this time not working at all

Then it's something wrong either with usb cable,usb port(on Pc) or ,most likely,micro usb on your phone.
When you insert usb cable into micro usb port,try jerking it up and down,left and right but gently and listen will it make connection for a second,at least.

Ok i will try that. This is a stupid question but If the phone port is damaged, is it going to be extra cost to repair that for custom rom installed phones? (i live in new zealand)
