[Q] odin problem - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to flash a new modem with odin v.1.85. I have all the drivers installed, have restarted computer, pulled battery, new usb cord, and odin won't read my phone. It will read it while my phone is turned on, just not in download mode for some reason. I'm not quite sure what i am doing wrong, I've used odin before but it's been awhile. Any guesses as to what is goin on would be appreciated. After multiple searches I haven't found any answers.

Did you try all the usb ports on the computer? Try it with the battery in and see what happens. Its definitely your computer.

Thanks. tried all but one usb port. i'll give it another go. tried it with battery in and out
*edit* tried all. nothin works. i do have a gadget serial error under the device manager it looks like. any ideas?

can i use mobile odin for this and skip the computer part all together?

Mobile odin doesn't work on our phone yet... so no... give me a second.. what drivers did you install? I'm going to link you the ones I always use... they've always worked. Also if you have any other phone drivers unistall them and install the ones I link. Once you've unistall the others restart the pc and install the new ones.

USB Not Recognized after Gingerbread (ACS Bamboozle) Flash

I've tried everything. I've been at it for about 4 hours and i can't figure out why my epic wont mount to my computer anymore. I've reinstalled samsung device drivers, both old and new, i've switched data cables, i've switched USb debugging on/off, i've used different usb ports, i've let it sit overnight without the battery, i've used the dialer code ##8778# to make sure i have it as PDA. None of these work.
I wish i could ODIN back to stock, but without the ability of my pc to recognize my epic, there is not point. ODIN won't recognize it in download mode.
So i'm stuck with ACS bamboozle. not that its a bad rom, but its kinda buggy and i've lost the ability to mount my epic.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Why not just flash a new rom through cwm? Then your usb might work on the new one lol..... think cwm before having the smallest thought about odin.......
Have you tried putting you USB on debugging, connecting to computer, try to connect, go into control panel>system>device manager and see what is connecting under USB or Other. It may be Samsung Android....click that and choose update drivers, then pick from Windows Update and leave it alone while it finds all the drivers. Will take a long time. That's how I fixed it on my laptop.

If i want to flash a modem, I need ODIN.
Can I flash stock EC05 through cwm even after Bamboozle? Im thinking it will work, but it won't return me back to stock.

Yup, tried that. It says "Unknown Device" in my device manager. When i try to update it, it says that i have the latest drivers for it already.
The drivers are definitely your issue then. Uninstall the drivers then try the same method. Otherwise download the drivers and reinstall if it won't let you search for updated drivers.

Usually after I can't connect to the computer after flashing a new rom I can flash a rom that i know worked with my pc and then my computer will recognize the phone again so then I can use odin but that's just me..... I know alot of roms that wouldn't connect through the usb.....
I've downloaded 3 versions of the samsung mobile device drivers. I've uninstalled and reinstalled all of them, individually.
Nothing works.
FLASH A DIFFERENT ROM IN CWM!!!!!!! :/ reason stated in my above post jeez
I did flash a different rom.
I flashed RandomRom's "Egret" and it still didn't recognize it.
I've flashed 5 different roms. All with complete wipes of sd card and factory reset.
I cannot get my phone to mount to my computer, therefor i cannot get to ODIN.
This all happpened after i flashed gingerbread leak. wtf.

Do what I said earlier and let Windows Update search for drivers.
What about flashing the ReRFS ROM that brings you back to stock? Also, I know its basic, did you reboot your PC after re-installing the drivers?

Yup, tried the ReRFS rom as well and it still says, "USB not recognized."
I even tried it on two other computers, and its the same. There is something def. wrong with my phone.

I already tried flashing several different roms. None work.
Mass storage still works? If so, uninstall the drivers, put USB debugging on, try to connect to the computer and let it find the drivers all over again. There should be 5 drivers it loads.
mass storage doesn't work either.

Cant get odin to work for me

Just recently running eg22 gingerbread leak, everything is working perfect but now I want to update my modem currently on (eco5). Everytime I go into download mode it doesn't read in odin for some reason?..does anybody have a ideal or possible solution because I really want to upgrade it!

Try another usb cable. Try re installing drivers
Odin mostly only works in the same usb port you installed the drivers on. Try each port, uninstall/reinstall the drivers and reboot, get a better cable. Also search. There is already about a hundred threads exactly like this.

Been having issues with my laptop, running Win7. This is the laptop I have loaded every ROM since I started tweaking my device.
Lately I have had to uninstall my device from the device manager, go into download mode and plug in the USB, then do a scan for new hardware in device manager. Odin will then recognize the phone and I can run.
Yes I understand that but everyone has different ways on how theirs wa reslove every bit on if helps. Mind works fine when phone on,in download mode it says device malfunction and tryed with 3 different cables(shrug) :/

Make sure you do a proper shut down, I have NEVER had issues with odin til eg22. I practically shat myself trying multiple computers that I know worked but to no avail. All my computers said device malfunctioned. I reinstalled drivers but nothing worked.
The problem was I had pulled the battery while in clockworkmod and went into download mode. I reproduced this later it does not recognize if you pull battery from cwm on eg22.
The solution was as easy as going into cwm doing a backup/wipe and install a fresh srf 1.2 and booting it up then proper shutdown and go into download mode and BAM it recognizes. Hope this works

Always is drivers and cables.
I would give the following option (and this is only if your comfortable):
Try installing a VM software, for example virtualbox (http://www.virtualbox.org), install a fresh copy of Windows XP, Vista or 7 (what ever you have a license for) and start fresh from there to:
- Install Epic Drivers (Reboot VM)
- Install phone drivers (connect the usb cable while phone is on and with usb debugging is checked and let it install, then reboot the VM)
- Place the phone in download mode and connect it to the VM, let the drivers install.
Load odin, image files and pit to the VM and proceed to do the download from there, it should work unless something is really wrong with your phone.
Let us know if this helps.

Heimdall is much better for recognizing your device and loads it's own drivers. You need to use 7zip to disassemble the tar files into seperate components and place them in their appropriate spots. I heard the newer version can use the full tar. Haven't checked it out yet. The best thing is you can install another recovery and modem when flashing.

[Q] USB Debugging problems

I've read through all the forums and they all dont have my problems. I've used all different usb cords, different ports and uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and nothing works... My phone (Epic 4G) wont even go into usb debugging mode at all...
If anyone else had this problem and fixed it please let me know I am a Tech Consultant and none of this crap seems to be working at all... I have a lot of experience with the Epic 4G, all HTC phones and Samsung phones... But none had this problems I need someone with a lot of experience to help me out...
I want to root but doesnt go into usb debugging ever since I went back to stock... I had CM9 alpha3 and it worked perfect but my gf wanted it back to stock and now it doesnt read... PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Thanks,
Bernard
May have been a bad Odin flash. Or a bad tar file. I would download the EL30 tar fresh and re-Odin it. Then check it.

I've had the same problem since i got CyanMod 10, on the stock 2.3 it worked though :/

Rooting GS3

So I know how to root the device, I'm just having a few problems. First, my laptop isnt recognizing my phone in download mode. Is there a driver I need to install for the phone? Second, odin isnt opening on my laptop either. It has worked many many times before but right now when I open it, it shows this box that says "odin (little boxes next to it)" and an "okay" button. Once I click the "okay" button" It quickly opens and closes odin not allowing me to do anything.
Can someone help me out a little?
Try drivers and Odin from my signature.

It said i had those drivers installed already, but I did them again anyway. And those are the 2 versions of odin I've always used, but I'm going to download yours and try them also. Thanks, and I'll let you know if they work.
Odin is acting the same way as mine did. I'm pretty sure somethings up with my laptop. I'll try restarting it or playing with its settings to see whats going on.
He you tried all the usb ports? I know it sounds stupid but my phone is only recognized on 1 out of 3 usb ports on my desktop.
My ipod and other things work on all usb ports but my phone only gets recognized on one.

TRY THIS...
Try to uninstall to the drivers and reinstall them, then get the latest ODIN for the s3. And try to root. If that doesnt work. Use a different computer like your friends. .

Alright thanks I got it now. I'm not a nube, just need to get used to how everything works around here coming from the epic 4g.
I got the latest recovery from rom manager. is there an option to usb mount sd card from recovery?
I noticed your ROMs are huge. I downloaded universeS4 and its almost 1GB? thats crazy the biggest rom ive ever used was 185mb. Anyway, any other Roms you guys recommend i try? I'm looking for TW at the moment so no Cyanogen roms. And what kind of tweaks and mods are there to look for in a ROM? i need something similar to voodoo sound.
There is a thread stickied in the themes and app section that has a whole lot of mods. It should be the fist post in their

Thanks, I seen it. There is so many things.
I'm mostly interested in sound volume hacks and mods. I flashed univers4 ROM and it comes with the ACID thing for sound but I dont really know whats it doing. I'm used to having voodoo sound which is enabled from the kernel. Is there any mods that actually allow you to override the system settings for at least headphone volume? I want my phone as loud as can be lol.

LGFlashTools not seeing my phone... stuck!

Hey guys,
I've been flipping between ROMs and just kinda figuring out what I want to do. I've done the entire flash to stock process like 10 times, but this time, I get LGFT set up, and ready, but when I connect the phone in download mode nothing happens. The only difference I can think of is that I restored from CM to a backup of stock this morning. Had some issues with my backup, so I wanted to flash all the way back. Does anyone 1. know how to get LGFT to see my phone in dl mode, and 2. if not, have a flashable stock zip? I can still get into CM and ClockworkMod Recovery! Thanks!
