Need Help Getting Back to Stock - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my phone a while back with a one click root process that rooted it to a rooted version of the stock rom. Recently I recieved notification that Jelly Bean is now available for my phone and that I need to connect to my computer via usb to update. But, my computer keeps getting a "device not recognized" error. I tried to install Kies for the drivers with no luck, uninstalled the drivers from Kies and installed the others straight from the Samsung website with no luck. I have tried 2 different computers and three different usb cables, including 2 oem usb cables. I have windows 7 which may be the problem. Are there any work arounds like going to stock from my sd card? My phone is no longer rooted, but for some reason still has Superuser which i can uninstall still. I brought my phone to Sprint which the guy was really cool and informed me that its not the usb port on the phone and that odin is recognizing it, but odin on my computers doesn't even see it.

Did you have the Android drivers installed previously? I'm assuming that you're trying to install the drivers for the first time on that your computer and that you have USB Debugging enabled. I'll also be assuming you disabled driver verification, which can be a problem in some computers.
First you need to boot your phone normally, and plug it into the computer. Press Win+R to open the "Run" dialog and run "devmgmt.msc," which is the Device Manager. Look up the "Unknown Device" that is your phone and double click it. Click on the Event tab and check the Hardware ID in the drop-down box. It should look something like this (sorry mine is Android Composite ADB Interface because I've installed it already, but that's what it should look like in the end):
Now you have to make a new section in the driver inf. It should be in the google adt bundle and in the extras\google directory. The file name is android_winusb.inf. In the picture below my tablet is the iDeaUSA CT702. You need to add one of these sections in both the x86 and x64 section if you have a 64 bit computer. If not, just put it in the x86 section. The %USB stuff needs to match that in the Device Manager Hardware ID.
Now you should have a device called Android Composite ADB Interface or anything like that is fine.

It says there are no drivers and that there is no hardware id. All there is are device instance id. Im not quite sure where the driver.inf is located. This has been a pain for the past week. Hopefully we can figure this out. Lol.

I think there may have been something wrong with the rom. If i could just reinstall stock i think it would work. Just need to get the USB to read to the computer.

If you don't know where the driver is, then download a new one. I've uploaded the official Google USB driver to mediafire here: Mediafire - usb_driver.zip
You need to modify this driver, then when asked to select the inf file for driver installation choose the android_winusb.inf inside. After installation your phone should be recognized. Please tell me if there's any uncertainties you have.

Have you tried connecting the device with usb dev mode disabled? I know its strange but I've a few devices that use different drivers if the usb dev mode is enabled. I've also devices where I need to enable usb mass storage setting every time (settings menu or slide down notification). Also it never hurts to try a new cable, usb wires do tend to wear out and are very cheaply manufactured so they break inside with the slightest tug of the wire. I know most of this stuff is uber basic but I've made things much worse on countless occasions by overlooking simple stuff like this.

Good point. If you don't have developer mode usb debugging enabled, then there will be no "unknown device" as shown above in the device manager. Be more detailed about "no luck" please.

I have noticed that some ROM's will enable debugging, I personally run a MAC. But you may want to check those settings to see if its enabled/disabled. But if your charging on it you should be good. Have you tried to odin back to stock and seeing if that helps?
Other thing: do you have the samsung drivers installed on your PC? even if you don't you should still see the external storage just not the internal.

What rom are you using? If you are running one of the test CM7 builds you have to download the Google drivers from the Android SDK.
Does your phone show up when you mount it as external memory? Did you install the drivers and kies as an administrator?
exact same scenario!
I am having the exact same issues as the OP! Except that i have the unbranded gt-i9000. My galaxy s is completely stock, no custom firmware or launchers. Heck, after the last factory reset, not even any apps!
I have tried every suggestion on every search i could do. I have 4 computers with xp sp3, win7 sp1, ubuntu 10.04.1, and mac os x 10.5.8. Nothing is working on any of them. I've even tried different usb cables, just to rule that out.
Could it be a samsung hardware issue?

[Q] SGH-i717 incompatible with 64-bit operating systems??

I'm trying to use my 64-bit windows laptop to install the recently leaked ICS update on my SGH i717. Which as of now is only available as a .exe file. The problem is (confirmed by samsung tech support) that the i717 is incompatible with 64-bit windows, and isn't even recognized by my computer. Is there any way to remedy this? I do not have access to any 32-bit machines, and I really want this update!! Thankyou.
I installed the leak via the Odin exe. on my 64 bit machine with no problems.
Really? I can't even get my computer to recognize my phone, not even as usb storage. I've installed and reinstalled every driver I could find. I've even plugged it into a couple different computers. The best answer I could get was that it was because of the my windows version from the samsumg tech support woman. Is there a special driver out there or am I missing something?

I don't have a problem with my 64 bit system recognizing and mounting my i717. It didn't work at first, but it turned out that my stock samsung data cable was faulty. Used a different cable and haven't had an issue since.

Well I tried a few chords. Is there any root methods that I can do from the device without a computer?
Download the latest Kies.
Let it install and make sure you select the USB drivers.
Uninstall Kies because it's ****.
Leave drivers.
Replug handset (make sure debugging is on)
This should put you in the clear mate. If it doesn't, get the Android Development Kit for the proper ADB drivers
Go to shop development, look for the pre root kernel, download USB drivers. It works, but your computer doesn't have the drivers for the phone

Thanks everyone for your replies. I'll keep trying
That's a damn lie. I have a new 27" iMac with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit installed on it. I have successfully connected my Galaxy Note to the computer, every time.
There is a problem with how to get the computer to recognize your phone, that I never had with any of my HTC phones... With my HTC EVO's, all I had to do was connect my phone to a USB, and a bunch of options would automatically pop-up, asking me how I wanted to use my phone. I'd select the option to use my phone as a 'USB Storage Device,' and a few seconds later, my computer would automatically recognize my phone.
You can't seem to do it this way with Samsung phones. What you have to do, is:
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS NOT ALREADY CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER VIA USB!!! This is a must! Your computer will not recognize your phone if it's already connected BEFORE following the other steps.
Go to SETTINGS.
Select the first option (WIRELESS AND NETWORK).
Then you must select USB UTILITIES.
A screen saying "USB Mass Storage" will pop-up, and there will be a button you have to press stating, "CONNECT STORAGE TO PC."
Upon selecting "Connect Storage to PC," then and ONLY THEN, you will finally connect your phone to the USB.
If you follow these steps, after a few seconds, your computer will download any necessary drivers, and eventually it will recognize your phone. I am not sure why it's this difficult to do this on Samsung phones. Like I said, HTC phones are really simple. It doesn't matter when you connect the USB on HTC phones. Samsung, you can only connect it at a certain time. I hope this works for you.
I also run Windows 7 64 on my laptop, and have no problem with my Note. Odin, files transfers, Kies, everything works.

I used to use my old pen 4 desktop(one im typing from now) to do all my phone modding... When I bought my galaxy I thought that this machine was too sketchy and decided to use my win7 64bit xps laptop... Flawless.
Okay, so the samsung woman gave me the wrong information. Thanks Dr. Evo. I tryed your technique with no success. I haven't had any luck with anything. Could this possibly be a problem with my device? I'm considering a trip to the at&t store.
same here....
Funny... I'm now having the same issue on my laptop.... It connects fine to my 2k8 R2 x64 Server just fine. That one is an old and heavily upgraded Dell D9100 tower. I'm pretty sure I got it recognized on my ASUS U43J Bamboo laptop with Win7 Pro x64 when first got the phone. I've since reimaged and did a fresh install of the OS and drivers, and I'm certain that I reinstalled all the drivers and updates.
Tired the drivers built into KIES 2.0 - fail
Tried the USB_Driver_for_ATT_I717_Galaxy_Note_v1_3_2200_0 driver I used on my 2k8 server - fail
About to try some other drivers I found here. If something works, I'll report it...
***UPDATE***
Before trying any other drivers I decided to try one more thing...
With the phone connected via USB, shut the phone down, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on. On my laptop, PnP found three devices and installed the drivers when the phone powered on:
SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device
SGH-I717
SAMSUGN Mobile USB Modem
Kies 2.0 then saw the device... still sitting there saying "Connecting..." but at least I'm one step further...

I'm sorry my advice didn't help. I honestly have no idea what your issue could be. Are you still within your 30-day return window? If you were, I'd ask for a replacement phone, or if you bought your phone at an AT&T Store or BB, ask if anyone in the store has the ability to connect your phone to a laptop or computer in the store to see if they can get it to work.
For me it worked on 2 different Win 64 installs.
Here is what I did:
Install Kies. On the phone go to settings>apps>development and then check on USB debugging.
Phone connects perfectly. You can see the phone listed as a device in my computer. Clicking on it allows you to access both the USB storage and SD card.
To other poster saying you NEED to enable USB storage. You don't. It works in MTP mode.
Unplug all other usb hardware. Try another jack and cable. Don't use a hub. All virus and firewall software should be off. Log on to windows update with the phone plugged in and turned on. You might have to reboot and check again.

[Q] Can't install S3 drivers

So, trying to install the driver exe file from Samsung's website and it won't work. Keeps saying that it failed to install drivers. And, if I have the phone as USB Debugging enabled, it'll pop up with 2 out of 4 that says it failed to install.
My roommate was able to install the .exe file on his Windows 8 beta laptop (I'm running Windows 7 64-bit) without a problem. And, the phone installed fine on his laptop as well. For me, no.
If USB Debugging is not enabled, then yeah, the phone is fine. But, since I want to root this thing, it won't accept the drivers. And, nowhere on Google, searching or Samsung's website provides me any answers whatsoever.
I've done:
Going through regedit and deleting all things Samsung related
Deleted every Samsung folder on my hard drive
Rebooted the computer
Uninstalled the drivers
Reinstalled multiple times
Downloading and installing Kies (did not install any drivers, still failed)
I've done everything I can possibly think of. Couldn't find any answers on here, either. And, doesn't help that the search function is broken.
So, anyone have any idea on how to fix this? And, please do not say "Reinstall Windows" because that's just ridiculous and I shouldn't have to do that for a simple phone driver install. I had my Epic 4G before and that all went smoothly.
Go do something in control panel and uninstall the samsung drivers that you already have on your comp
Then try installing

USB not recognized

After flashing a ROM on my note, my computer can no longer connect to the internal storage. If I hook it into the computer (windows 7) it says USB not recognized. I tried Google and nothing has worked so far so I was truing to get some input from you guys. So far I've tried:
1 pulling my phones battery
2 pulling my laptops battery
3 formatting internal memory
4 installed/reinstalled kies and drivers
5 connecting to Odin (not detected due to no USB recognition)
6 mounting in recovery
7 flashing new ROM
Any help would be appreciated. My phone recognises the storage is there it just won't connect to transfer files and what not.

Device manager on the PC needs to show USB composite device, not generic android device.
Regardless of Odin or Kies Being installed, the PC should still see it.
Go into phone, and turn on USB debugging, then manually connect the device in the network menu.
That may help.
Also, are you using the factory cable ??
These devices require a factory cable.
Overall, you may still have driver issues....g

I know that blackstar USB function is good, and you may be right on corruption issues.
If the above links and methods have failed, then I suggest an Odin restore of the stock rom to repair the device partitions.
But be careful. Some devices are very resistant to corruption, while others seem to brick without warning.
Not that I believe we are risking a brick, but with so many users running blackstar without problems, I'm simply urging caution, as a portion of the process was obviously damaged.
Another option, is to wipe the caches on the device, but not data.
Then flash the rom over the top of your current build.
This will often repair damaged or missing files from an incomplete download.
But I would download a fresh copy directly to the device via Wifi, just to be sure ....g

I suppose it's possible that you have a hardware failure of some sort.
The port might have failed.
I'm not quite ready to say you need a new one, but that's a good next step.
There's been several port failure threads lately, and this one may turn into another.
With the device functioning properly on the rom , we are back to trying a new cable next, then on to the new port.
Of course, only if we know that the PC environment is working properly.
Any new programs on the PC ? Antivirus programs in particular ?

It worked before I did the following and now it doesnt.

Well as we all know now, you cant do that. So I got the deadly uellow verizon triangle saying unauthorized software bring it to the store. So I went through the xda forums and found the one that told me how to fix it. I used odin with the alternate restore and got it back up and running. So I wanted to go back and use adams one click unlock and root. I got everything downloaded and ready. I put my phone in developer mode and plugged it in. It starts trying to find the drivers and then it flips from debugger mode to media mode everytime. It starts seeing it as everything but a samsung phone. It says found camera and even cd rom but not the phone. I have read through everything and tried everything I could think of but I am at a loss. PLEASE HELP

It starts trying to find the drivers and then it flips from debugger mode to media mode everytime. It starts seeing it as everything but a samsung phone. It says found camera and even cd rom but not the phone. I have read through everything and tried everything I could think of but I am at a loss. PLEASE HELP

Turn off your phone, connect to your computer with the USB cord and turn back on your phone. It should start the drivers and connect to your device.

I tried that, it is still not seeing it like it is supposed to. I was able to get Odin to recognize it so that I could flash the rooted stock again but I can't get Casual Jailbreak to work. I'm not sure if it is because the drivers or not but I am guessing it has something to do with it. Every time I plug it in, it starts searching for drivers and then always switches from usb debugging mode to media mode. The checkmark is still in usb debugging but I don't think it actually is. You can watch it go from device as installer to media.
Are you using the driver install app (zadig i think its called) to install the heimdall driver on top of "gadget serial". Looking at your other post it seems like a driver issue. One thing ive noticed is, if odin can see the device then heimdalll cant and vice/versa. So if odin can see it you have the wrong driver, if you are infact installing the heimdall driver my second question is, does windows xp x64 use driver sig enforcement like win7 x64 does? if so you probably need to disable it. Just throwing my $0.02 out there.
Are you using the official USB cable? I had an aftermarket cable that had worked for months, then decided to quit working. It works with other devices just not the Note2. Changed to my original cable and all is well.

Also try plugging it in to the PC and not through a hub/keyboard/monitor port

If it sees the device in the dumb verizon cd mode thing and ptp than it can see adb. Its not the cable. however i would try setting the usb debugging first than set it to camera mode. adb should still be able to pick it up
Thank you everyone for your help, I finally got the drivers working and the bootloader unlocked

How? Fixing to unlock my spanking new note also. I had the drivers issues late last night. When installing drivers through the Z app I never could get it to install Samsung usb drivers nor did I see serial gadget option. Running Windows Vista 64bit. I know I have Java.
