I had tried to update my phone via Kies and the computer blue screened. Now the phone is stuck on the ODIN Mode screen with a picture of my phone on the left, a yellow triangle in the middle, and a computer on the right. Taking the battery out does nothing, restarting does nothing, restarting while holding down the volume buttons does nothing. No matter what, it always comes back to this screen.
When I plug the device into my windows based PC and open ODIN, ODIN does not see my phone. When I plug it into my linux computer and run lsusb, it does not list my phone in the output, so the computer definitely isn't recognizing that my phone is plugged in. A couple of weeks ago, I had this problem while trying to back up the phone, so I'm not sure if it's related to the botched upgrade or not.
Does anyone have any tips or advice here? I'd really love to be able to use my phone again. I am using the cable that came with the phone. I have the same results with other cables, as well....
I'm happy to provide more information if needed. Just tell me what you need to know.
That screen is a form of download mode. You should be able to flash stock or stock plus root from there.

If this statement reflects what you actually did, then it suggests the wrong order. You must first open oden on the desktop, and then connect the phone to the computer in download mode.
Try that first.
Next you could try putting the phone into download mode with the battery pulled out. Open Odin on the desktop, then with the battery out, hold down the vol- button while plugging in the usb cable.
Thanks for your response.
So I went ahead and cleared out everything and then reinstalled the USB drivers. Opened ODIN, connected USB to computer, took battery out of phone, put battery back in, held down volume buttons and inserted the cord. The screen immediately loaded up the one I spoke of in my first post. Odin still did not recognize that I had my phone plugged in.
So then I installed Kies and went to the firmware restoration item under the tools menu. Entered my model and serial number and put my phone into recovery mode according to the instructions there, but the "Start Upgrade" button was grayed out and never became clickable.
One thing I did notice while doing this (On yet another new computer) is that when I plug in the phone, I get a "USB Device Not Recognized" error in Windows. I'm not sure if this is a result of it being in download mode or not, but I thought it worth mentioning. I did attempt to blow out my mini USB on the phone for good measure, but had the same result, even with another cord.
On ur Windows pc, did u try different usb ports ? And don't use a usb hub.

Yes, multiple ports on multiple PCs.
The port was working fine yesterday when the Kies update failed.
Have u tried using a Jig to get ur phone into download mode ??

First of all make sure that your PC isnt running Kies in the background - Use Tsk Manager to kill Kies process
Then Plug In your Phone
Enter Download Mode by holding both volume buttons and powerbutton till the Boot Screen Appears.Let the power button go when you see the boot screen but keep holding the volume buttons.
In no time you'll be in Download mode
Then go to odin and check if your computer recognises it. Odin willl show you (Com:x) X - Any Number
Then you can easily flash stock rom or a custom recovery..

I have already made sure Kies is not running (And have tried this on a computer without Kies installed) and according to creepyncrawly in the second post here, the screen that I'm seeing IS download mode.

I tried everything you did, and the only way I got Odin to recognize my phone was use a USB jig to get it into the download mode other people are talking about

I'm definitely open to making one, but I'm confused since everything I'm reading says that the screen I described IS download mode, just with a different screen. Are you saying that you had the exact same situation as me and a Jig fixed it?

You could order one fairly inexpensive. But order it or make it still takes some time. But as several have mentioned, it may help.
Did you try forcing download mode with the battery out as I suggested in the second post?
Yes, I have tried forcing download mode by taking the battery out, holding down Vol and inserting it again. These are also the instructions that Kies gives, but it didn't work there either.

My phones update failed and I got the same phone, triangle, computer. I tried different USBs, different USB ports, different computers, tried Odin, nothing worked. As soon as I found my USB jig that was lying around, and plugged it in before I put in the battery, and the regular download mode which I am used to seeing showed up. ODIN recognized the phone and I flashed back to stock ICS rooted I downloaded from XDA.

That's different that what I suggested. Remove the battery and leave it out. If you have to, sit on it so you won't be tempted to put it back in, lol. While holding vol down button, plug in the usb cable. The usb will supply the power. The phone should boot into download mode.

I guess I misread that. I blame it on my stressful week ending with no phone
So I just did that and boom, download mode as I would expect loaded up first time, no issues after I held down both Volume buttons while plugging it in (Holding down just Vol - didn't do anything). Unfortunately, it still did not show up in Odin (Kies background processes were all killed and USB driver IS installed on this computer and Odin WAS open before I plugged the phone in)
So I unplugged, opened Kies, and was going to try a restore through there since I could finally get download mode working properly. Except when I tried it this time, nothing happened. I held down the vol buttons, plugged it in, got a single vibrate, but nothing showed up on the screen. Unplugged, put the battery in, and it turned on and screen worked. Took out the battery and just plugged it in and the screen worked after vibrating 6 short pulses (It pulled up the screen mentioned in my first post). Unplugged, held down vol buttons and plugged it in, same thing. Blank screen.
Now I'm really at a loss. I'm starting to wonder if there is something wrong with my USB port on the phone itself.

Hi there,
i have same problem with my Galaxy ACE GT-S5839i: i can't get ODIN to detect my phone. Originally, i tried to flash my phone and made a mistake in the process (installed a ROM before i installed CWM). This caused my phone to stop booting. The only thing remaining working is the download mode. But i can't get ODIN to detect. I tried 2 PCs, different USB ports; i tried to install Kies, or just the drivers... nothing makes ODIN detect my phone... I hear my PCs detects the phone when in download mode (it bips) and my PCs both recognized my phone (Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device). On PC uses windows 7 and the other Windows Vista. I ran ODIN v4.38 on both... Would be grateful for any idea what to do...

I had the same problem with kies on a sprint s2. EXACT same problem. Cord got jerked out in the middle of Odin flash. THE ONLY screen i could get is the one you described.
Also went through the steps with keis, dl firmware, got to the last part but the start button was greyed out. I had to do this several times and finally the start button lit up. Idk why it didn't work before but it finally did. Have you tried doing it more than once?
I wished i could be more help but that was my experience. Maybe it will work for you.

Hi, I recently bought a used Vibrant from someone... Worked great.
So I decide to update it and hope maybe get the GPS fixed, but Kies wouldnt work, I tried on 5 different computers with different windows, no luck, crashed on windows 7, and said the OS on the phone is a modified version and so it cant update on Windows XP,
So I decide to try Odin... but Odin only detects the phone in USB Debugging mode, and thats wasnt very helpful... For some reason, whenever I try to put the phone in Download mode, Windows XP AND 7 say that an unrecognized device has been attached... I tried USB drivers, 10 different times on each comp, different combos, different techniques from all over the forum and the internet... Odin wouldnt show the device in Download mode.
So I install clockwork and download the rom to restore the device to its factory state, I have it reboot into clockwork recovery and restore it using the files I downloaded to the phone... Now the phone doesnt boot, it stays stuck on the "Samsung" logo, I hear the T-Mobile jingle, but thats just it, the Samsung logo stays on and nothing happens.
I cant access the phone from the computer at all now, since it could never detect the phone in Download mode anyways, and when I put the phone in recovery mode, it shows two hard drives that I cant open... I have a micro sd card that I tried to load another restore onto and try to use that in recovery, but the recovery mode wont let me browse the sd card....
I hit a brick wall now... I don't think I have a use for yet another paperweight.
Ive all but given up, so if you could please help me, I would reaaaally appreciate it.
Edit: I tried using Ubuntu, but same thing, nothing happens in Download mode, and it only shows two drives that I cant access in recovery mode.
What ROM did you flash?
Yes, I installed the drivers over 10 times over on 10 different comps using 10 different versions of the drivers.
Kies, Kies Mini, drivers I found on these forums, drivers I found in other forums... nothing
Rom... Ummmm I used this file wwwmediafirecom/?kqaulorzx5f6dyq
UPDATE: I formatted the sdcard now, cleared cache and personal data using the recovery console... Now im even more screwed up because I cant access the other options
"E:Cant open /sdcard/update.zim (so such file or directory) installation aborted"
Ok, I put the phone in recovery mode and opened Odin, it was detected... I know its supposed to be download mode, but Im really desperate and am going to try anything since it only detects my phone in recovery mode... I pressed start in Odin and it hasn't moved in 30 minutes
"<ID:0/026> Added!!
<ID:0/026> Removed!!
<ID:0/026> Added!!
<ID:0/026> Odin v.3 engine (ID:26)..
<ID:0/026> File analysis..
<ID:0/026> SetupConnection.."
Any suggestions?
Odin will not work in Recovery mode, you have to be in Download mode, use the key combinations for download mode, mine is turn off the phone, unplug the USB and hold down the volume key and turn the phone on, while holding the volume down, and make sure you have the pit file, do a reasearch and you will find the pit file for vibrant. You have to have the pit file attached when you use Odin. But make sure you are in download mode not in recovery.
Get phone into download mode. The easiest way to do this is pull out battery from phone. Then plug phone into usb connected to computer it will have the battery sign. Hold volume keys and power button when the screen goes black let go of power button. You will be in download mode if Odin doesn't detect it unplug usb and replug it.
Also clockwork can not read your sdcard, it only reads your interal storage.
I tried that for Odin again, and it didnt work, I also tried a hundred different methods and steps, but they all have the same problem.
Im on Windows 7 64 bit, and I get a message after about 5 seconds of plugging my download-mode phone into the computer that says "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"
In device manager, I see one of the devices is called "unknown device" when I plug in the phone in download mode... I tried to manually install drivers from a list, but none seem to work so far...
What if I manage to somehow put a file in the internal memory, would I be able to use the recovery console to bring the phone back to life?
EDIT: Sorry for double post

Correct. You can get into cwm recovery still correct? only if yes to first.....And when you are in cwm with phone plugged into pc if you type adb devices what comes up?
Wait... I must be confusing recovery mode with CWM... Sorry Im still new to android... How can I bring up CWM if the phone doesnt boot? Last time I brought up CWM I had to use the ROM manager when the phone was working........
OH CRAP! Now I get it, when you try to reboot into CWM, it reboots into recovery the first time, and then youll have to reboot again to get into CWM... Oh... So that means.... I tried to restore the file I downloaded using the recovery console, and thats why it crashed my phone....
Well.... Im gonna try to connect the phone to yet another computer in download mode, I doubt it will work, but I will try.
Meanwhile if you guys have any suggestions.... And sorry for my stupidity...
Oh, and as for ADB, I tried to install that on my computer, but when I go to CMD, it keeps giving me an error saying the device is offline... So Im guessing I have to turn it on somehow using the phone...?

Thegreat has helped me narrow things down... Im using a blackberry mini USB data cable, and so that COULD be the problem.
If anyone reading this has a mini USB cable that was not specifically made for the vibrant, could you please try to connect your vibrant to your computer in download mode using the cable that wasnt made for the vibrant?
Does the computer detect it?
I would really appreciate any feedback, because I dont currently have the original cable, and it would take a long time to get one shipped from samsung, not to mention the hefty pricetag because its OEM.
Help would be appreciated
I have used a blackberry specific cable when booting into dl mode and flashing odin, and it works for me.
Try this method if you haven't already, or keep trying it, sometimes doesn't work the first time.
1. Open odin on your pc an have the pit and tar fies loaded.
2. Remove battery, sd, and sim cards.
3. Plug in usb cable from pc to phone.
4. Holding both volume up and volume down, pop the battery in.
That should boot you right into dl mode. If you get the green battery image, pull battery and try it again. I have found if you hold the phone face down in your left hand when holding the volue buttons, makes it a little easier to keep the buttons depressed whie popping the battery in. Hope this helps, good luck.

Was there any resolution to this problem? I've been having the same problem for a while now. Worked around it using Wifi apps to log into my phone, as well as just using the external SD card for most media files.
Odin doesn't even recognize my phone and I've tried just about everything. I just get a USB Device not Recognized message when I plug it in and even then I don't always get that.
Thanks. I'd love to be able to odin the phone back to stock and see if the ROMs I've been using perform better after that.
I messed up my phoen flashing a rom and now when I am trying reset with odin it hangs up on file analysisI tried looking for a solution online nothing worked...
Changed usb ports
was wondering if someone knew how I could go about fixing this thanks...
Can you still get into download mode?
I would think he should be OK to get into DL mode. Sometimes ODIN likes to be difficult like that. Just unplug the phone, reset, and put it back into DL mode again. Any of those things could be the source, but doing them all shouldn't hurt, and I wouldn't expect the same issue to happen again. If it does, check your pit and tar files.
As long as you can get into download mode or recovery, you're fine. Just try different combinations as prince stated.
Verify the md5, or download again

Pull the battery, put it back in, Hold down volume up and down and plug in usb and that will get you back into D/l mode. Did it ten times today. That will happen when you pull the usb cord off the phone while in D/L mode. Always pull the usb out of the pc instead.

my note froze up for 5 minutes so i took the battery out and tried to power on by button but no response have been on the charger for hours and nothing. I plugged it in to the computer and is recognized but phone wont show any life. I tried all physical button combos and took battery out for 10 minutes. Phone is and has never been rooted. please any help.
can you get it into download mode?
1. Disconnect the phone from your pc or wall socket
2. Plug a usb cable into your pc, but not into the phone yet
3. Remove and replace the phone battery
4. while holding the volume down and power buttons, connect the phone to the usb that is connected to your pc
If you're in download mode you'll see a big green android guy with the word "Downloading..." underneath.
Not sure what could've gone wrong, but if you can get into download mode, then there is still hope yet for your device.
If you can get into download mode, and you are willing to try some things, it may be possible for you to flash a stock recovery using a tool like Odin. There are guides available for this, like the one here. I would wait on some of the more experienced folks to put in their 2 cents still...like i said, that has never happened to me, so i'm not sure what could be the problem...

Hello, I have searched through the forum and it appears that my Note 2 has SDS.
But I just hoping someone would be kind enough to help verify my assumation. My
phone will not boot pass the samsung screen and it will not boot into recovery.
But the phone will boot into download mode and this is the info that appears
on the screen:
Odin Mode
Product Name:
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
But with the phone in download mode and connected to my computer, the coumputer
and Odin is no longer recognizing that my phone is plugged in.
My phone was running CM10.1 with TWRP recovery.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated
Well there are a few things that could be going on. The first, you may need to manually go into your device manager on your computer and remove all Samsung drivers I know it sounds crazy but it works, getting rid of that "unknown device id" you get when you connect your phone to the computer. Now there are some hidden drivers that you have to enter a command only once to be able to see, I'll try to get a link posted to a guide on how to do it.
With your phone in download mode plug it back to your computer now make sure that your computer is disconnected from the Internet because windows will ignore the driver you want and just grabs one. But you will have to download the usb driver you need to your computer first so after the deletion of all other Samsung drivers it will be the only one windows can install. I will see if I can get you all the links for the computer command and for the driver.exe. /This is the guide to remove your old drivers.
http://www.petri.co.il/removing-old-drivers-from-vista-and-windows7.htm Here is the driver link, and I hope this helps you out. http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/topic/3619-if-you-are-having-the-hardware-id-missing-error/#
M.A.D.NoTe.||
Thank you so much for the reply. I did as you instructed and removed all
of the previous installs/verisons of the Samsung drivers, downloaded the
new verison of drivers, unplugged my pc's network cable to disable the
internet and installed the new drivers. But as I was doing this, I realized
that I didnt explain my problem well enough. My apologies. The problem
is that when I connect my phone to my pc, the pc acts as if nothing has
been plugged into the usb port. By the way I did complete your instructions
in hopes that it would still correct my problem but unfortunately no luck. I
even tried using my notebook pc that I havent ever used with the phone
and installed the Samsung drivers but both the desktop and notebook
act as if nothing is being plugged into the usb port. Hope this makes
sense.
Again, thank you every much for you help and any other suggestions
will be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried a different version of odin? I actually use the gs3 version for my note2 and it works perfect. Can you get into recovery at all? And are you familiar with running adb commands from your computer? Also try a different usb cable and then try different usb ports on your computer. Its very odd that odin won't see it while in download mode¿

The only two verisons of Odin that I have use are Odin3 v3.07 SGSIII and Odin3 v1.85.
With the phone plugged into the usb port, anything I try in both versions of Odin returns:
"<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)"
When I try to boot into recovery, by "Vol up, Home, Power" the phone goes to the
Samsung Galaxy Note II screen. if I continue to hold "Vol up, Home, Power" the
phone will go to the Same Samsung screen for about 2 seconds, then goes blank
for a second, then back to the same Samsug Galaxy Note II screen and will
continue this cycle as long as I hold the buttons.
Yes, I have very basic knowledge of adb commands but only in regards to pulling
and pushing some files to my other android devices.
One other bit of infomation I just noticed about the phone is that, with the phone
being powered off and then plugging the phone to charge, the battery icon appears
but its gray, no power % or anything. I do have a second Note2 and if I swap
batteries, both batteries are around 80% charged. Not sure if this litttle bit of info
is helpful.
Again thank you so much and I truly appreciate your help.
I finally gave up and used an available upgrade to get a new phone which works on all fronts. Now if I could just solve this bricked phone, maybe I could sell it...or blow it up.

I'm having this same exact issue as you. Can't find a fix at all. Will probably have to head into Verizon and grab a new phone. :crying:
When you are booting this particular phone into recovery you know the right way BUT just as you see the first Logo take your finger off the power button while still holding volume up and home and see if that will work.
Also on a side note if you have a micro sd adapter then you might be able to get a recovery image on it from your computer and put it back into the phone and try to push it in with fastboot, you say you were running cm10. what, (if none of the above works), were you doing at the time of this problem? Flashing, turning on, or what?
You may want to check this out too if you haven't done so already.

I actually got it fixed, problem I was having was even though Samsung Drivers were installed on my desktop, Odin still would not recognize(phone would make the connection noise on my PC and show "Serial Android"). So first thing this morning as I came into work, installed drivers and phone was detected by Odin. Flashed .PIT/PDA files and got it working again. :good:
Cool man good deal!
You may want to post a Fix solution for the problem you were having in case others don't know what to do and panic and send their device in on a insurance claim. Kudos

It's another VZW Note 2 and I'm still going to try for a solution. When that gets old, I'll definitely pm..
The problem with the phone occurred sometime between plugging it in to charge Sunday
night and Monday morning. The phone appeared to be fine that night but when I woke up
and looked at the phone, it was at the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 screen. The phone is
plugged into a surge protector/battery backup. The one my pc is plugged into. So I don't
believe it was a power surge but who know.
I believe I'm coming to the conclusion that either the phone's usb/power port or the phone
itself is defective. No matter what I try, none of the computer will even act as if anything is
plugged into the pc's usb port. All adb commands pretty much return a <waiting for device>.
I tried to boot into recovery the different way you suggested but unfortunately no luck. The
phone just gets to the Samsung screen and stops. I think the biggest issue is that the
computers act as if nothing is plugged into the usb ports. This prevents Odin or adb commands
from working. Which eliminates all options that I have tried. I have tried different usb cables
and other phones with the different usb cable and they all seem to work correctly.
At this point, I think tomorrow, I'm going to have to look into getting some kind of replacement
phone if I can't get something to at least see that the phone is actually plugged into the usb port.
I want thank you Mad96 for giving me all the help, suggestions and options. If you do have
anymore that you think might work, I would greatly appreciate them but for the life of me, I
can't figure out why all of the computers act like the phone isn't plugged into the usb ports.
I'll see if I can get some other info from friends of mine, new ideas if so I will gladly let you know.

Sorry if youve already answered this, have you tried a second PC to see if it can detect it? Sounds similar to my issue.
1.Tried unlocking bootloader using Casual.
1a. Casual fails on recovery and doesnt reboot.
2. Battery pull, samsung bootloop every second or so.
2a. Plug device into second computer, will install driver automatically (takes a few min)
2b. Access device with odin off external HDD
2c. Flash PIT/PDA Restore files and reboot.
Should solve the issue of logo reboot. Basically factory Reset is what your doing. You'll be on stock unrooted device.
Yes, unfortunately I have tried multiple pc's with windows, linux and
even a Mac. I have a Droid Razr Maxx that I wasn't using so I'll just
use it until I decide if I'm going to use the insurance or if I'll just
wait and buy one of the new phones I've been considering.
Again, I want to thank you for all of your help but I'm going to put
the Note2 up for now.
The problem exists with Windows XP, as the latest updates from Samsung have changed the drivers and are not supported on XP anymore in order to do it.
Interesting I have a VZW Note 2 that won't even allow me to put it into Download Mode so that I can Odin to it.
Any clues?
HI! I have the same issue with my wife's N7105 (stock fw) - it happened after leaving it charging overnight with only 5% battery left. Only difference is that I can no longer get into the stock recovery. The screen only shows white lines when I try to fire it up normally or try to enter stock recovery. However screen is fine when I go into download mode.
When I tried to flash the fw, it says no PIT partition found. Everytime I try to flash the PIT via odin, it always fails. I tried 4 different versions of odin, tried it on winxp and win7, and basically tried the steps listed in this thread.
You think this is already a hopeless case?

Flash the PIT with a rom, like Root66 or the Alternative Restore rom in droidstyles thread, and see if that helps.
You have tried different USB cords correct?

Yeah, I already tried different usb cords.. Regarding droidstykle's thread, I noticed that it's for the VZW SCH-I605 variant.. will it work for the international N7105 variant? or did I miss another thread for the N7105?
First off I searched the forums and looked at the thread suggestions as I was posting this but nothing is like what I'm experiencing.
I was in the process of using Odin to flash a ROM to my phone. My phone was in download mode but before I could start anything, my wife said she needed the phone. Now I know it said "do not turn off target" but at this point I had done nothing other than enter download mode. I figured I was safe so I unplugged the phone from the PC, tried to restart the phone, anddddd nothing. Black screen.
When I get home from work I try charging the phone. Not even the charging icon appears. I try plugging it into my computer and it IS recognized but the phone only shows a white screen. And then it reboots. White screen again. It keeps doing this. I have tried all kinds of button combinations and taking out the battery/putting it back in. I took a video of my problem but it appears I can't post links where I am a new user. If you would be so kind as to google "youtube geiger9" you should get to the video pretty quickly.
What can I do about this?

I think it's important to note that your phone is a T959P Telus.
Yeah, if you had not tried to odin anything yet it would be safe to unplug
I'm not super familiar with this model but I'll try and offer some help
Will it go into download mode with battery out and then connecting to a charger?
I would try and remove your sd card, sim card (i believe this model has one?) And your battery when connecting up to use odin.
After you have safely made an odin connection you can reinstall your battery
Also, try rebooting your pc with phone usb unplugged,,,
If still fails
try different usb port,,,
If still fails
Try different usb cable,,,

First off thank you for replying.
I tried the steps you suggested but it isn't working. Without the phone plugged in to the computer pushing the vol up/down and power buttons does nothing. I can't seem to enter download mode again no matter what combination of buttons I press.

Yeah It is only supposed to go into download mode by:: if you remove battery and connect to a charger/usb to it,,, or by having battery in and holding volume down while connecting charger/usb
