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)

Hi guys,
I have a problem that's fairly common but I can't get it right
I can't install new drivers for my SGS2, my pc/laptop don't recognize it anymore.
I have flashed an ICS rom before so I also tried the Nexus S drivers, no success.
I have tried to work with Android SDK manager but since my laptop can't find my phone, it won't find it as an adb device.
I managed to get back on 2.3.3 via CWM manager but my USB jig also doesn't work anymore.
I have tried everything regarding Kies and new drivers so I'm pretty much out of hope... Anyone with suggestions?
You could use mobile odin, also if you flash back to ics you can reset counter with triangleaway and then flash back to gb

Problem is that I can't flash back the old bootloader..
I think the logical step would be to try another PC, given you've tried everything else & nothing has worked.
You could also maybe try Heimdall (search for it on here).
Also, if you haven't tried different USB cables (in particular the one that came with the phone), give that a shot. Also make sure you're connecting the phone to a powered/mainboard USB port & not a hub port. Also, try toggling USB debugging in your phone settings.
That's about all I got. Try these things if you haven't already, but definitely try another PC.

I have tried different ports with different cables, different pc also won't install the drivers.
Usb debugging on/off doesn't work either.
Going to try heimdall today but it has something to do with my phone since I flashed so many files before with my pc and with my laptop.
Will post after I tried.
Yeah it sounds like a phone issue given you have been able to flash firmware with that PC previously. Good luck with Heimdall, fingers crossed for you.

Running out of ideas here.
I guess there isn't an option to flash the old bootloader other than Odin huh?
Unfortunately Mobile Odin can't flash bootloaders yet, so Odin (and probably Heimdall) are your only options. Either way you're going to need USB.

My PC recently stopped working properly it connects but always fails flashing via Odin, I managed to set up Odin etc on GF laptop so at least I can use Odin if needed. Could you not try restoring your PC to earlier date and see if that works or uninstall everything to do with phone, kies, Odin adb etc and do a fresh install of everything

My phone doesn't connect at all.
I have tried uninstalling everything including drivers and such via USBDeview.
The problem lies with the phone itself I think, not my pc.
I think I have found the problem.
I think my USB port from my phone is broken.
I will try to reset my binary counter with Triangleaway, then flash back original firmware without root and then send it for repair to the Vodafone shop!
Hope this works

I have the same problem. I came from CM9 and now I cannot connect my phone to the PC. I am using CheckRom V6.
Do you think it has to do with the bootloader? Or might the usb port be broken as well?

Yeah I think that it has to do with the bootloader, but a broken usb port is also a common problem.
I still have warranty so I will just let Vodafone repair it.
If my pc still doesn't recognize it after that, then I'm screwed.

Hi friends..
I bought SGSIII yesterday and started to exploring it's options since then.. As it's my first Android I am using some time to getting use to it..
Now here comes my two problems.
1. I am using a wifi router at my house and at first try I was able to connect to it easily.., but since then I am not able to connect again to the same connection. It finds it, tried to connect but then shows saved and then start searching again and couldn't connect it again. I tried factory settings once and the result is still same, can't connect to my wifi again.
2. I tried to root it with both Chainfire tool as well as with SGSIII kit provided here. Both options use ODIN and it's the main problem here.
Once I set my device in Download mode, ODIN doesn't recognize it thus doesn't show anything as detected device and thus I can't go ahead and flash the rooted image thus .tar file .. I am on Windows 8, I tried Windows 7 too but the result is same..
Can anyone suggest me what should I do next.
Thanks..

1) I can't seem to get what the issue with Wifi is but someone might be able to help you out.
2) Seems like you dont have the proper drivers for the device installed. The easiest way to solve this is to download KIES and install it. This will help you get all the necessary drivers and hopefully after that, ODIN should be able to detect the phone. Thats pretty much what I did.

For problem 1.
Call *#0011#
Choose wifi
Turn Power saving mode off.
This is a known problem with some s3's. Including mine. Best to flash cm9 and follow steps above. Its not an exact solution. But is far better than what I was experiencing!

My phone connects pretty easily with my PC when it's ON., problem starts when I put it under Download mode and then try to connect it to ODIN..
Any more suggestions.. Thanks for your replies though.
Restarted my router and wifi seems to be working fine again.. Well I hope it will keep working else I would know that why this is happening. Thanks for your suggestions.. Now I am just more concerned about ODIN problem coz I need to root my device and that's much needed issue.. Thanks.

Yup, installing KIES should help .When you connect the phone, usually the drivers required for mass storage are automatically installed. Different drivers are needed to get the PC to recognize the phone when it is download mode.
I guess they are ADB related drivers and I saw a prompt for that while drivers were installing but still to be sure I am installing it to see if that would help. Thanks, will notify the result here soon..
Nope, didn't help.. Installed Samsung Kies latest version too but still the same result..

It seems to be a unique problem, then. I saw this thread and tried uninstalling all my samsung drivers. I let Kies run in the background and connected my phone in download mode when Odin was running. All drivers got successfully reinstalled. Check whether Samsung USB Drivers are installed when you install Kies. Sometimes, it skips those due to errors. I've encountered that once or so.

It's not..
I will try to remove all drivers .. then install KIES and then put my phone under download mode to see whether it will install all drivers then.. Will update later how it goes.
Ok.. Installed Windows 7 on my PC just to be sure that Windows 8 is not the culprit.., turned out it is not.. It's not working on Windows 7 too..
One thing to specify here is that when phone is on and if I connect it to my PC, ODIN recognize it and ID part turns to blue but not when I put it under Download mode.. so anymore suggestions friends as this is a nightmare to use it without root..
First, get the driver pack from the forum.
Go to the device manager on the computer when the phone is in Download mode and search it (should have a yellow triangle). Then right-click, Update driver.
Let it search on your computer, it should find and activate it within a few seconds

nicesoni_ash, good to see you're here from dailymobile!
This might sound daft but have you tried another cable?
I was getting problems using the cable that came with my phone, which had an HTC sticker on it for some reason.
Switched to the old cable from my N8 and it worked!
Just a heads up.....note that before flashing with Odin ensure kies is closed in sys tray or it may interrupt flashing process

On my system, I could never get the Kies icon to show up in the system tray, however it is running in the background. He might need to kill the Kies processes from Task Manager.
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:
http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows
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.

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?
how i want to fix this matter ? help me guys. " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again. " my screen S2 appear this. all time. i cant go anywhere. when i unplug usb cable it blank. cant on. after i plug in usb cable, it appear this. pc cant recognize this driver " OMAP4430 ". im death. please help me.

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:

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.

hey everyone, so ive have went thru all the threads i can find, done alot of research and have come up short. seems like alot of the users with the Verizon I605 Samsung Note 2 have the same problem, not connecting to their PC's.
-ive restarted both my note 2 and my PC numerous times.
-ive installed/uninstalled/re-installed the official Samsung website device drivers
-tried other USB ports
-tried up to 4 different USB/Mini USB cords
-made sure USB debugging was switched on
-Tried Samsung Kies, come to find out it doesn't support the I605 Note 2
-called Verizon and Samsung directly and both actually offered me a position as a tech after i told them all the things i did to figure it out, because it was way more then they could handle.
i know it has connected before, as i have done it once or twice a few weeks back but now it wont connect, drivers fail to install, and nothing else works. i have also tried every other method mentioned in the other threads. nothing has worked.
is there any fix for this? was it cause by the latest update?
im running 4.1.2/ VRAMC3
and im using Windows 7
please anyone lmk if there is a fix for this. ive exhausted all avenues known to me. thanks in advance.
Happened to me too, it's USB port in your computer. If you have any other computer or laptop try using that.
You can also try wireless connection for file transfer.

Hope you found your answer. If not have this moved. This was posted in the sprint version of the note 2 forums.

The appropriate forum would probably be more helpful.
Plus, are you getting any error messages? I've had issues with connecting the Sprint GN2. If I install the Samsung Drivers, I get a "Missing Hardware ID" error. I just found it's better not to install drivers. Let Windows install what drivers it can. Not all the drivers will install and will get an error message about device not successfully installed. But enough install that the GN2 will connect so you can move files around for MTP. See a thread I did back in December, linky
Also, you can try out SG Flash Drive Enabler. I've tried it out. It works pretty well. It has quirks, but does allow you to use your SDHC card as a flash drive. You have to use the MTP to access the phone's storage.
oh man...*face palm* sorry about posting in the wrong forum guys, i was about to crash and i didn't even realize. my mad.
MODS: please move this to the correct Forum section at your earliest convenience, thanks :silly:
i have found that airdroid does work for wifi file transfers for such things as pictures, music...etc. but im wanting to root my note 2 and it needs a direct line from the phone to the pc to work.
ill check out those links posted up and see what how it goes. but we still need a fix for this. kinda lame only (well most) the verizon SN2 is having this problem.

You may want to use ToolKit. I believe it's setup for AT&T tool. Uninstall KIES and all the samsung driver on the your PC. Choose to have ToolKit install the drivers. It should get your enough connection for ADB to work and be able to root and install a custom recovery. I had to use it a couple days ago to get a custom recovery back on the GN2 and I was getting the Missing Hardware ID error and still worked.

Ive done that very process. Uninstalled kies and installed the toolkit drives. Some reason it would sort of connect but then disconnect. Never stayed on and wasnt able to be picked up as connected on the Odin program.

I had a problem in windows 7 where it would connet to Windows update and try to get drivers for everything once they were connected. I turned off windows looking at windows update for drivers, uninstalled the driver for the phone, then installed Samsung's drivers. my phone showed up in windows again. now im able to get to both sd cards.. did you try that?

where did you go on windows 7 to turn off the above mentioned? the middle part confuses me a bit. so your saying you turned off the windows feature to look for driver updates when the phone is connected via USB?
if you dont mind, please walk me thru your process. thanks in advance.

thank you so much for the link. but still no dice. i uninstalled the drivers i had before, did your method, and then downloaded the drivers again from the toolkit. i still dont get a serial number in the toolkit showing the drivers are good to go, and the phone still doesn't connect.
WHAT THE DEUCE?!

Kies was un-installed per instuctions on the toolbox. i guess i could try and re-install it and retry everything.
EDIT: just remembered that Kies dosnt support the Verizon Note 2....lame sauce.

i am going to try to download a older driver that was working before and see if that works. its linked near the bottom of the above posted link in one of the replies. ill come back with results.
ok so i downloaded the samsung drivers version 1.4.6.0 and followed the directions on the link i provided above. the drivers installed successfully, but the CASUAL(R515b) No You Verizon! program doesn't seem to see the phone connected to the computer. and just continually loops. sigh...this is getting to get stupid. such a simple task yet its not connecting.
EDIT: the drivers SAY they have installed successfully, but the computer still doesn't recognize the phone is connected. even reads on the phone that the software wasnt found to connect to the computers, and the CASUAL program also tells me that the phone isnt connected....sigh...seriously....WTF.
When you install your driver's on your pc you need to restart your pc...have you tryed that?

While Kies does not officially support the VZW Note 2 it is the only way me and my friends can get our PCs to see our Note 2s, that's the only reason I ask and it is usually par for course. Its what's suggested in these cases if it isn't already installed. It can hurt to give it a shot and see if it helps anything, if not you can just uninstall it again.
Also check out the OP in this thread:

ive redownloaded it, so ill give it another try. are you saying just have it downloaded and then do nothing with it? or do you somehow get it to connect? i mean just having it as a presents on the computer to have something else connect seems odd to me but hell im down for whatever at this point. ima load it up now and try.
