Hello..
I have a Galaxy S plus (GT I9001), I installed TIGER-JELLY BEAN v8 recently, which was working fine. But phone was lagging a lot so I decided to install the stock rom again. I installed Kies(latest version) with drivers and connected my phone to my PC, but it was not detected by Odin. Every time I got Samsung Composite USB Device driver installation failed. So I searched and installed drivers from Here and Here. But they didn't worked either. I tried again after changing USB Cable but still no luck. Then I installed Kies in my Laptop and tried to connect the phone. Still it wasn't recognized.
Things were not working with downloading mode and Stock rom tar file cannot be flashed with recovery mode. So I searched a converter for .tar to flash able .zip file and found THIS . I installed this tool and tried to convert the tar file to zip. Didn't noticed that it require knowing "Mount Point", so I converted the tar file to zip without changing the mount point and copied the file to internal storage of phone and flashed the zip file. After that phone restarted , and stuck at Samsung Logo.
New I can't even to recovery Mode, nothing happens when I keep Pressing Vol Up + Power. Phone starts and stuck at samsung logo. Odin was already not detecting the phone so I tried connecting the phone on Ramdump Mode and some how drivers were installed and odin detected it correctly. But odin can't flash phone in ramdump mode so it didn't worked.
So now the problems I am facing are:
1- Phone is stuck at samsung logo, can't go in recovery mode.
2- Odin not detecting phone in downloading mode.
Is there something what I can do to fix this?
Please help!
Thank you.

Hei, Im new to the Samsung Android Phones but I have had HTC Android Phones since the G1 and until the HTC Desire HD and Xperia Arc.
But now Im stuck, I cant get niether Kies nor Odin to recognize my device, let me tell you how.
1. When I try to connect to Kies the *Android MTP driver* fail to install.
2. So Kies will go on an endless Connection journy and my devices tells me its connected.
I have reinstalled the drivers many time. tried with both USB-Debugging mode on and off and still no result.
Ok, but thats not the worst part because i could careless about Kies since my interrest is in rooting the device.
Now if my device is powered on and the USB-debugging mode is on Odin finds it (mark it as yellow)
but when I put the device is in Download mode Odin doesnt find it and I cant flash :'(
Im confussed, i've been going at it for days now with no results. help me please...
When you're in Odin, have you disabled Kies? Both the .exe and the system tray?
What's your current firmware?

I mean I close Kies when using Odin and vice versa. you think Kies is the reason for Odin not finding the device in download mode?

Turn Kies off = not running in taskbar .
USB debugging off reboot phone .
Open Odin select firmware connect phone via Samsung cable to a mainboard USB port .

Well frankly that MTP device error is a PITA, it happened for me with my S8500, did everything possible, couldn't solve it until I installed Win 7 x64. So may be a fresh OS installation could/should solve the problem.
If you can't do that Odin is the only option as you already know.
And make sure that you are pressing Vol Up+Home+Power button to enter Download mode and press the Vol Up key to continue.
Regards.
It seems that Im ably to enter Android System Recovery by pressing VolUp+Home+Power and Odin seems to find the devices find, but thats not Download Mode I guese, do I brick the phone if I flash from here via Odin?

You can't flash from Odin in recovery, and I'm not sure I've heard of anyone who can get recovery but not download. Something is FUBAR'd...
I'll let ithehappy and jj take over, they've more experience than me. But since you're in recovery, a factory reset seems logical.
Anybody have any idea? please help..
Did you try factory reset? And have installed the newest version of Kies, as opposed to re-installing old drivers?
Uninstall kies and the drivers
Download these driver
Install them
Put phone into download mode
Flash a rom or kernel using Odin
If this doesnt work
1) change USB ports
2) reboot computer
3) try another computer if you have one close by
Or if you have Clockworkmod recovery installed
4) boot into CWM recovery
5) connect phone to computer via USB
6) select mounts and storage
7) select mount USB storage
8) your phones internal SD card will now mount with the computer, copy a CWM flashable zip of what you want to flash to the phones sd card
9) go back to main menu
10) select install zip from sd card
11) select chose zip from sd card
12) flash!
Hey guys I have recently tried flashing the biohazard ics kernel thru clockwork but now that I've done that the phone won't boot but mow when i try to restore my previous rom it says there's an md5 mismatch and when i try to install a rom from the internal card I get a can't mount emmc message. Also since i installed the standard ice rom odin only read my phone when it was turned on. Have I bricked my phone???
If you can still get into download mode, you have not bricked your phone. Just flash an original firmware, root it and try again with the restoration.
I have the firmware but if odin won't detect my phone do i need to reinstall the drivers or get a new cable.

what do you mean if?? pls explain your situation more clearer
try reinstalling drivers. and before opening odin, kill all kies related tasks in task manager. then open odin. then connect phone while in download mode
whenever i was running the previous rom, odin would only detect my phone when it was booted normally but not when i would go into download mode and since i can't pull roms off my sd card because i get a can't mount /emms/ i've never gotten that error message before.
Don't connect your phone to odin, since you have no proper kernel installed Odin won't detect any drivers.
Go to recovery mode and reflash stock kernel stored on your phone(assuming you have stored a kernel).
If you haven't then use Heimdall Suite to flash recovery mode again, use link below for reference:

i reinstalled the samsung drivers and heimdall doesn't detect my phone either :/
What is the "biohazard ics kernel" ?
Try a different cable, different usb port and different computer.
it's an ice cream sandwich kernel created by biohazard and ever since i cant't boot up and clockwork can't detect my removable sd which is where all my backup files and other roms are. I've already tried about 3 different cables and all ports the only other thing is to find a desktop and see if that works...I have a feeling i might have to buy another phone since my phone so far can't be detected in download mode anymore.
So what exactly happens when you put your phone into download mode (power off phone, then hold volume down and home button while booting it) then plug it into the computer?
Does the computer detect it, does it try to install drivers?
the computer detects it but odin won't detect it unless you've installed kies on your computer

Uninstall kies, download the samsung phone drivers from my 4shared (the 4icon in my sig), install them, put phone into download mode, plug into computer.
still no luck...
Hi, I have mistakenly flashed the wrong CWM to the Samsung Young running 4.1.2 I believe. This happened after i did a standard facory reset for family (phone was aready rooted) and after CWM kept on rebooting into CWM recover screen, tried recovery fix to no avail. so flashed another CWM via zip but I think that was for the samsung fame.
Phone is black screen, no image or recovery screen (working blind)
The phone can be seen by Windows device manager and it install the com port and the composite device and the normal sounds when the phone is disconnected and reconnected.
I have tried using ODIN (v.1.89 and 1.9) to put S6310N firmware back onto the phone (PDA, CSC and MODEM) but ODIN hangs at 'Setupconnection'
I run odin as admin, have tried different ports, cables, computer and taking battery out etc.ODIN shows 'Added' when i remove and reconnect so it can see it.
My question is does Odin have to be on the same port as the phone (mine shows 13 in Odin) but actual phone in windows 7 device manager is 12
I left ODIN for 30 mins but nothing changed.
Do I need the bootloader and pit file?
Would I need to adb (if thats now possible) to turn of usb debugging- could that be the problem?
I realise i'm now at the hard brick stage so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
I'm trying to flash my S3 International (i9300XXUGMK6) to Cyanogen Mod.
The phone currently is running stock jellybean but was rooted some time ago with SuperSU.
First i tried the installer from the CYMod site, all went OK until "Flashing recovery software". The phone went into download mode but eventually the laptop times out saying unable to connect to device. Phone needs rebooting to get control back.
Second time i tried http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9300 instead.
Again instructions worked fine until the phone entered download mode. No "ding dong" USB noise from the computer and Heimdall exits with "ERROR:- Failed to detect compatible download mode device"
It seems at least as in download mode my phone wont "talk" to anything.
I've tried 2 different computers (laptop and desktop) and 2 different USB cables.
The phone works as normal in USB mode when not flashing ( to copy photos, view directories etc).
I've tried to redownload a stock firmware but i cant find a single working link now - they all use terraserver which 404s. I'm not even sure i can flash anyway as ODIN wont recognise the phone either with the same drivers off its site.
Any idea how to fix download mode or get it working so i can flash?
I opened my A10s on Download Mode and tried to install TWRP), so I used Odin and put the .tar file in the AP section. Started and phone installed and shut down immediately afterwards. It does not respond to anything except for when I plug it in my PC, in which the PC makes a sound.
I need help unbricking it quickly.
