let's get to the basics shall we?
first of all make sure you have or done the following:
(1) installed samsung drivers (just install kies cd and plug your phone cable)
(2) using odin version 1.84
(3) kies program is turned off (if any)
(4) make sure you are logged on as "administrator"
btw have you tried this thread?

Load the kies so your device will be detected... you dont need to install Galaxy Y drivers because you have the Kies after Kies load you can close it..and open the Odin and prepare the Files to the Destination Box
the odin will detect your device anyway if you are willing to come at the shop ill fix your SGY
Make sure you have installed KIES
then connect your phone via USB cable to pc (MAKE sure it showed your device is installed and ready to use)
Next thing to do is.
exit KIES
meaning press CTR+DEL then go to process tab look for KIES and hit end task
exit all Active application in system tray and also Anti virus.
I'm always stuck at the boot.img or connection or NAND write. My phone doesnt show the bar showing the process completion. Stuck in custom ROMs. x(

last Q. my com have a recycle .exe if ur familiar, can this be harm my SGY,
cause it broke my SDcard,
My experience on flashing
Since now its my second time flashing an SGY , first i unbricked my classmates SGY on Android 2.3.5 (B'coz she tried flashing another custom ROM with her custom ROM(Very common sense but she still do it so she end up bricking her phone, then she ask help for me ) )
Before i flashed i charged my SGY to 100 % (Fully charged)
Then i wiped my micro USB connector with a soft cloth
Then i turned off my phone
Then i pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del(Windows task manager) then i clicked "Processes"
then i ended up the Kies and ADB Session(i don't have it with my family PC)
Then i logged off my user then i logged on my dad's user account (Since he's only the one that has the administrator priveleges)
Then i downloaded Odin v 1.85 from SGY FAQ's here
Then i downloaded Doky's DXKK4 Wipe Pack for me (Since its the factory firmware of my phone)
Then i opened up Odin
And i pressed Power+Volume up+Home(i waited for 2 seconds before i release home button)
And i pressed Volume up on my phone (ODIN MODE)
Then i started selecting the valid DXKK4 files like PDA,PHONE/MODEM File,CSC
Then after that all i pressed "Start"
Then it stucked a bit on system.img file but after that all a green "PASS"surprised me then i started to jump jump jump (becase i successed flashing my phone)
Then the last message in the message box is "Successful 1/0 Failed"
Then my phone restarts,Then after i setup the phone i setup my CSC , for me i select XTC because ,my phone is an open line then it factory resetted again , then i set it up again , Now my phone is in the DXKK4 firmware again YAY ! Refer to Doky's thread on the Development section for full instructions before flashing
Try vaccuming your USB Ports or try an earlier version of Odin for our SGY
if you're running windows 7. You can type the combo button ctrl alt del and you will see "start task manager" and click on the processes and find all programs kies named like "Kieshelper" i think there's three different kies running in the processes. End process it and find your antivirus in the processes. Example is "egui" for eset, "avg" for avg, and many more. If you cant find your antivirus, just disable it, or if it can't be disabled, just uninstall it, and reboot. After reflashing, just install it again. Please note that KIES and ANTI VIRUS must be completely closed. Make sure that you have kies installed in your computer, if an antivirus is open, there might be chance that you'll receive a fail in odin.

before flashing its either format your SD Card using your phone..
How to ? Go to Settings>SD and Phone storage>Unmount SD Card(Wait for the status on notification bar if SD is safe to remove)>Then the "Format SD Card" option will be available, Tap on that >Format SD card>Erase All
Then Your SD will be formatted, so Backup first
Before flashing perform a factory reset
How to? Go To Settings>Privacy>Factory data reset>Then it will prompt you if you want to format the SD card , Just put a check on that but don't forget to backup first>Then follow the next procedure for factory resetting then after that, Power off your phone then Press Power+Home+Volume down then a warning will appear , Press volume up to proceed to ODIN MODE then connect your phone then select the appropiate files for your phone then click "Start" then see your message box on the left bottom to see what's happening on flashing your phone

Have I meesed my phone up or is there a way to get the image back any help will be welcomed. I can still connect via mtty but the device doesn't come up in my computer anymore or wont connect via active sync.

dont worry .. nothing is lost
bring up the phone in bootloader .. vol down reset
connect the usb cable, on screen should write USB (instead of serial)
and now just run the customRUU.exe file that is usualy in archive you downloaded the rom, and just follow the instruciotions.
(like you are flashing without mtty! from computer)
hi man, have you tryed to reinstall drivers ? i don't know what happends to your phone but i'm really sad for you hope it's nothing That can seriously damage it so if i was you, i'll try to reinstall all drivers and use mtty from the 1st step, may be it will work. feed beck plz

yes..youre right..i did the same thing, after i've mtty (after type task 8), i forgot to initiate ROM flash and did hard reset+clear memory, so the image (diamimg.nbh) in movinand memory is erased.
So, we still can flash with custom RUU. bring your device in bootloader, you will see serial mode change into usb, then execute custom RUU.exe. follow the instruction.. but make sure your battery is enough..
Hope it help you..

Downloaded Odin
pit file
and firmware JG1 from samsung-firmware.com
Followed a video tutorial
ticked
Repartition
Auto reboot
Reset time
put the relevant files in PIT,PDA,PHONE and CSC boxes
Rebooted phone,got the triangle on phone screen.Went to Odin...nothing.
Unticked Repartition (Im on JF3, so this is unnecessary right?)
nothing in Odin
Removed file from PHONE box , nothing.
Tried in debug mode and non debug mode.
When I open Odin and phone is switched on (in debug mode) it shows up on COM5
Win 7 64 bit
Looking at the drivers installed I have
Port_#0005.Hub_#003 Samsung GT-I9000 Card USB Device - Communication
Port_#0005.Hub_#003 Samsung GT-I9000 Card USB Device - Mass Storage
Port_#0005.Hub_#003 Samsung GT-I9000 Card USB Device - Unknown
Port_#0005.Hub_#003 Samsung USB Composite Device - Communication
SAMSUNG_Android USB Mass Storage Device Mass Storage
Windows 64 bit (Vista and after) - FYI
A new "security feature" in Windows prevents installing and loading of drivers that have not been signed by Microsoft. If you have a 64bit operating system, Vista or newer, you will have to follow special procedures to install and use the included drivers. If signed drivers exist they will be added to the download when they are found.
Before you installed the drivers and whenever you want to use the ADB / Odin functionality later you must do the following:
Reboot your computer, once it begins starting immediately hold F8.
After a few seconds you will get the Windows Startup Menu.
Select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement".
Install or use your driver/device in Windows.

Did you install the usb drivers first? If not here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?6onrjbyd46j4lhj
that could be the only reason i can think of that odin isn't detecting phone. Also try a different usb port on the computer, and if that doesn't work try a different cable.
uninstall Kies if u have ut because the drivers stick i did and now it works lol

Go into Kies, Tools -> Preferences, unselect "Run Samsung Kies automatically when a device is connected", save the change, close out of Kies, and then restart ODIN 3. Try flashing now.
reinstall drivers with KIES. go to troubleshoot and then you should be good to go after. also check the cable too..

I had the same problem and I fixed it by exiting from Kies software. You might get this new error "Complete(Write) operation failed". Then all you should do is just pulling your battery out and restarting odin and phone. I disables the firewall too, but I don't think the problem was firewall. Anyway mine is working well and I did it.
Hi, I'm also having the same problem. The 'Charging paused...' message kept popping up so I tried to flash a different official rom via odin (I was on official ICS). Unfortunately the flash failed and now when I try to turn on the phone the 'Firmware upgrade encountered an isuue......' message comes up. I tried connenting to kies also but can not to do so. I have hope as i can get into download mode but can't flash a rom. I got halfway once then suddenly it failed again. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Thank You.

The phone needs to be in download mode for Odin. And kies shouldn't be running on your PC. Go to task manager and kill any kies processes.
Download mode on the phone as I remember is power button and volume down.
?
If anyone is using Odin to flash 4.1.2, I found either Odin 3.04 or to be the only ones that worked for me.

Try different Odin versions perhaps. Uninstall Samsung drivers and install the newest kies again to reinstall them. Don't need to uninstall kies , just be sure all its processes are killed in your PC task manager.
There's nothing you can do until your phone and Odin are communicating. Try another cable, try another USB port on your computer. Last, try another computer.

Try everything I suggested. Otherwise, I'm out of ideas unfortunately.
I'm curious, what does your phone show as in device manager in pc when connected? Or is it not being seen at all?
And Y Duos? You know this is the Tmobile S2 section, right? ?
Lots of Y Duos bricked talk here as well as other links in this thread to review.

Please do check the following:1. USB Ports
Try a different port. [Applies to PREVIOUSLY DETECTED PHONE and/or NEW PHONE CONNECTED FOR THE FIRST TIME]
If you are using a desktop computer, try the USB ports at the back of your computer.
If you are using a notebook computer, make sure the power plan you're using is not in Balanced or Power Saver. Try using High Performance when trying to flash and make sure USB Selective Suspend is disabled.2. USB Filter Driver [Applies to Windows Vista/7 Machines though later version of XP Supports USB Filter Driver]A Filter Driveris a Microsoft Windows driver that adds value to peripheral devices or supports a specialized device in the personal computer. It is a driver/program/module that is inserted into the existing driver stack to perform some specific function.
Written either by Microsoft or the vendor of the hardware, any number of filter drivers can be added to Windows. Upper level filter drivers sit above the primary driver for the device (the function driver), while lower level filter drivers sit below the function driver and above the bus driver.Try deleting theUSB "Upper Filter" & "Lower Filter" Entry in registry editor and check if it fixes the problem.
Delete the USB Upper and Lower Filter in the Registry by following the steps by following the steps below:
Before we go any further, please first backup the Registry.
Important: This method contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry
incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can
restore the registry if a problem occurs.

Make sure you follow the steps correctly.3. Samsung drivers[Applies to PREVIOUSLY DETECTED PHONE and/or NEW PHONE CONNECTED FOR THE FIRST TIME]
Reinstall Samsung drivers to make sure driver files are intact. Believe it or not, a simple update or program installation can mess up drivers on your computer.
Before you re-install the driver, please take note of the following:
Your phone should be disconnected and/or any USB device (USB Flash drives, cameras, ipod etc etc)
Close any program that communicates with you phone -KIES, Odin etc etc.
If you're using for more than an hour or have opened several programs, please turn of your computer and the turn it back on, a warm boot (restart) is not the best way to "refresh" your computer before you install drivers, It should be a cold boot (shutdown-power up)
If you've taken my notes in consideration, please by all means re-install the drivers 4. Try a different version of Odin that supports Galaxy Young.
Make sure the Odin version you're using supports Galaxy Young. Some Odin versions support specific samsung phones ONLY5. Restore your computer to a state where your phone can be detected.[Applies to PREVIOUSLY DETECTED PHONE ONLY]
This option applies if all else fail and do me a favor, don't call your computer's support team, they will make you do a bunch of troubleshooting steps and in the end, a simple restore would take care of it.ANOTHER NOTE:
Pressing the POWER BUTTON without having both HOME BUTTON and VOLUME UP KEY pressed will not get you anywhere. Either your press HOME BUTTON first then the VOLUME UP KEY before you press the power button or you make yourself believe that your phone won't go into download mode/Odin mode. That being true, previous comment that says: "home button+power+volume down" I believe is a typo. Good luck to y'all who have this kind problem.
Hello,
I wanted to install a non-official lollipop rom on my brand new s4 mini, so at first i rooted it, so i followed that tutorial : android.stackexchange.com/questions/54074/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-lte-gt-i9195.
Everything goes right until i discovered that i didn't have the recovery mode on...(number 8 of the tutorial)
Everytime i try to put my s4 in Recovery Mode, the Download Mode was starting, i don't understand why.
I tried in an another laptop with Kies 3, same problem.
Now i come back to my own laptop, but there is an other issue, the cellphone only start in download mode (even if I want to start it normally), here is the screenshot : img11.hostingpics.net/pics/757584galaxys4.jpg (sorry, i don't have the right to put some external links on my messages for now)
Plus windows doesn't recognize him, even if i delete and install samsung usb devices drivers, there is no way that windows dectects my cellphone.
Is there a way to put the original ROM from the factory or a way to avoid this "Download mode issue" ?
Thanks a lot
You must flash stock firmware. It seems the recovery on ur phone is messed up. Try using another pc. Also do not use files or instructions posted outside xda. They are not reliable.

Thanks a lot for the links, but the problem is that my S4 mini isn't recognized on my laptop, and like i said, it's stuck in Download Mode and Odin doesn't give a **** about my phone, so i cannot access to step 5.
The screen is fixed and it's written in red :
"Could not do normal boot. ODIN MODE"
[...]
In blue : "SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLE"
DOWNLOADING... DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET !!
I really don't know what can i do
Repeat the procedure of uninstallung and reinstalling usb drivers. But reboot ur pc in between. Then remove battery from phone..wait for one or two minutes and reinsert. Now boot to download mode using button combo. Vol down+ home + Power. Connect to pc at different usb port and start odin as administrator.
Hopefully it should recognise.
It doesn't change a thing unfortunatly...I seriously have a strange behaviour...I don't understand why windows doesn't recognize my cellphone, specially when i'll do all what you told me
There is no way to make my PC recognizes my phone ? I don't understand why, by default, he's starting in download mode...

What else does the download mode say ? Does it say something like " KNOX WARRANTY VOID 0X1 "
Do you have warranty ? If so then take ur phone to service centre and tell them there was power failure while samsung kies was updating ur phone to latest software.
Hopefully they will fix it free of cost [if u have warranty]
I made a link on my first message (but i have less than 10 messages so the link policy tell me that i cannot post a link with the link tag, anyway here is a snapshot of my phone : img11.hostingpics.net/pics/757584galaxys4.jpg
I know this is an old thread, but still, did you ever fix this problem? I'm having the same issue. The device is not seen at all by my pc when connected, with or without drivers. Therefore no way of flashing or installing anything from the computer.
