I'm looked everywhere but nothing. Please help if you can.
I was on BeastMOD2.5 then some things on the phone were not working (Tmobile S2) so I called in and they shipped me a replacement. I used this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323878) to restore it back to stock and unroot the phone and it worked besides one problem, I still got the synergy kernel gray screen at bootup, so as of now, i'm at stock, unrooted just with that synergy kernel screen. I looked it up and found the ODIN stock way to get it back so I tried that way, but now everytime I hook the USB to my computer to try to ODIN it, it always says USB not recognized (I've tried searching for fixes: clean USB, reinstall drivers, reinstall Klies, other computers, other USB cord, other USB ports but nothing).
I just need to get that synergy kernel screen off from bootup, but now that I cannot hook up the phone to any computer, what should I do? Is there a wireless option I have? Is there a way to brick the phone to where it won't even boot up when tmobile gets it back that they wouldn't even know? thing is it will also charge using a computer, but the computer won't recognize it (im done the whole settings USB options as well)
Please help, thanks guys.
any ideas?

does it recognize it in adb if usb debugging is enabled?
Did you try pulling the battery for 30 seconds?

I've tried that and i've tried this on 4 PC's and my usual Mac that I use to transfer files but no luck.
I also tried the debugging mode but nothing as well. Ill try for a couple more days with random things but since the rom is stock and everything is basically like out the box status if I were to return it with the synergy kernel screen on bootup, what would tmobile say even though everything is stock even the kernel?
Hey Buddy, there had been a few of us that has had the same problem.
For some reason, after you restored your phone back to stock, you still have the Synergy Logo when turn on and you lose your USB drivers, somehow, I don't know why. I tried so many ways for my computer to locate my phone, but after so many hours of looking, I gave up. Sold my phone to my friend and got another one.
Lesson learn. Someone should look into a solution for this problem
Thanks.

This is good to know for anyone that is looking to restore phone back to stock.
So I'm guessing people should install stock kernel first via Odin and then flash stock rom/recovery.
Maybe this will take care of Synergy logo.
What steps did you take?

+1 From the posts Ive read the people that have had this issue have used the zedomax flash. Safest bet for anyone looking to go back to stock should stick with the odin method. I think there should be a warning in the index thread next to the [HOWTO] [ROM] How to Unroot SGH-T989 Painlessly link about the usb issue and also the kernel boot image even thou if people would just read the whole thread they would see that others have already reported the kernel image issue......
Returning the phone with that would land you an out if warranty fee

If you flash this stock kernel zip before you flash the easiest unroot method ever it will give you stock kernel and remove any custom kernel logo.

yeah but is was too late to know that, so there's no way we can use the samsung recovery mode with the install from SD option?
Is your recovery stock. ? If its not you can always put it your sd card and flash it that way.

Alright I am running cm9 and have been for weeks with no issues. I got the new galaxy s3 and installed the drivers on my pc to root it and all that. I want to change roms on my E4GT though so I go to plug it in and it charges but will not connect so I figured I had to reinstall the usb drivers for my e4gt so I did and still nothing. I am in no way a newb i have flashed tons of roms and I know I did not do anything wrong. I believe I am just missing a driver. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have the latest version of kies installed and the drivers straight from samsungs website.
Made a little progress but not much. I realized I didnt have usb debugging enabled so I enabled that but now when I plug it in it just says usb debugging enabled instead of asking if I want to mount as storage device I have tried rebooting phone and pc several times. I am running out of ideas.
Did you get the drivers by installing Samsung Kies?
I ran into a similar issue once. I removed all Samsung software with all devices disconnected, did a reboot, re-installed a new copy of Kies, and when I plugged in the device, I opened the notification and told it to skip searching Windows Update.
Also, make sure you are plugging it into a powered USB port, so one on the back of your computer. Sometimes laptops don;t provide enough power either. My girlfriend's OG Epic refused to flash on my MacBook Pro, but worked fine on a desktop.
Latest version of Samsung Kies: http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201105/20110512115717796/Kies_2.3.2.12054_20_1.exe
Thank you very much i will give it a try and report back.

Actually no i did not get the drivers by installing kies because I already had it i got the sprint sph d710 usb drivers. Should I uninstall those and just install kies?
Well this is a rediculus problem that I am having now.. I cant install kies because it is saying I am not connected to the internet and I clearly am as I am posting this on the same pc that I am trying to install on.. I have tried rebooting the pc that does nothing.
Alright I got kies to install but still the same thing when I plug the phone in it says usb debugging enabled i really have no idea what is going on.
have you tried different ports on your computer, also have you maybe tried a different computer. If not it could be phone issue I fried my usb board on mine. best bet to try that is to flash another rom if possible and see if it you can connect to computer

I have tried different ports but not a different comp. Ya I am gonna flash a new rom and see if that helps. How could I have fried the usb board though? I havent touched the phone in days since I got the gs3.
Yup Just flashed the new Super Nova rom and now everything is working again, thank you very much for all the help and if anyone hasnt checked out that rom yet they need to its awesome!
Evening amazing people of XDA-Developers!!!!!
My issue is that my Galaxy S 3 (III / I747) charges when plugged in via usb but no drivers are installing. I am unable to see my phone via MTP or Odin (to flash roms or root), my phone does not show me any way of changing the MTP or the other option when plugged in via the phone itself.
It is 2 days old from Costco. I have installed the drivers via "Samsung GS3 QCom ToolKit" and "Kies" with no success.
Thanks and hope I can get this figured out.

What's your operating system? I'm On Windows 8 64 bit and I had to manually install the drivers (clicking on the driver installer) you might also want to try install as administrator and teen off UAC on your PC

I had a similar issue where it was installing as a modem instead of a phone. I manually installed the phone drivers after uninstalling everything
and rebooted, then it started working correctly.

You're never prevented flashing by not using a computer unless you stick with Odin only, even then you have Mobile Odin. Read above and see if it works. Neither of you stated the OS used and causing the problem.

I had this problem when i tried to update S3 from ics to jellybean with NEW install of kies. Had to go to windows settings and untick auto update( i set it to ask me every time) and reinstall kies. Windows auto update seemed to be updating what kies had installed. After this my drivers installed as soon as I plugged in my S3 although windows update does now show 2 samsung update available, I just don't allow the updates.
Hope this helps

I had the same issue, after getting in contact with samsung, all i had to do was turn off the phone, remove the battery, wait 60 seconds and re install battery. after that worked perfectly.
Install Samsung Kies. That will fix the driver issues and it should appear in ODIN after that. That's how it worked for me.

Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64... I have done the following to hopefully alleviate the issue I am having but with no success:
System restored...
Installed KIES...
Used the toolkit...
The only thing that works is charging... even running in Odin, the computer does not recognize the phone... where are the drivers so I can manually install them?

Hi There
I recently updated to Android 4.3 and ever since then my phone isn't charging anymore. When I connect it to my PC it is connected as an "unknown device". At first it was charging when turned off, but know even that doesn't work.
I had clockworkmod installed, but since the update I only get the "No command." message and the standard Android system recovery.
I'd like to get my phone connected to my PC again somehow, so I can downgrade to 4.2.2 again.
Anyone has the same problem / suggestions on how to solve this?
Thanks!

Hi, I've got the exact same problem on my Galaxy Nexus, and I can't find any solution yet, I've a couple of things that did not work at all.
Now I've got the charging anim on the screen when my phone is switched off but even then, it seems I can't get it charged more then 8%
Really don't know what to do here
External battery charger... Charge your battery and flash back to 4.2 until you can sort issue out?

Can you check if you still have root? If you still have root, you can flash another recovery using Mobile Odin.

Yeah I want to flash back to 4.2 or CM. The problem is I can't since my PC doesn't recognize my device. I tried different drivers but it just pops up as "unknown device" in the device manager.
Can anyone tell me how to downgrade i am a noob currently on stock 4.3

After hours of flashing rooting unrooting it finally works but i really don't know how.
At first my phone wasnt anymore recognized by my PC, after playing around with checking unchecking debuging mode, and uninstalling drivers and installing drivers from the NEXUS ROOT TOOLKIT, it came back on my PC screen.
-first i downgraded to 4.2.2 (using nexus root tollkit), it did not change anything
-then got back on 4.3 with OTA, still same problem
-then tried unlocking rooting and flashing cyanmogen mod, still same problem
-Finally i flashed stock 4.3, unrooted and locked, and now everything works perfectly...I really dont know how but now its all good, also it looked like Avast and Nova launcher were not doing too well with 4.3 so i uninstalled them and really saw a difference afterwards
I hope this may help someone
So i was trying to find some new roms for my SGH-i747M and what i did was backed up my original rom running on a avatar nightly build i tried to upgrade my clockworkmod touch to the latest version using the terminal method (cause i was getting status 7 errors from all the other roms). I finally got the install the work then when i reboot the rom doesn't work i tried going back into CMW recovery and it just crashes and for some reason the computer can't recognize the phone so i can't unbrick it.... what do i do now totally scrub
Have you tried odin

Hey try downloading the stock firmware and used Odin flash it on
What stock ROM was on your phone before you update CWM? It's important to let us know so we can help guide you in the right direction.
Can you get into download mode at all? Have you tried the debrick method described in this forum?
tried everything(mostly)

I've tried odin and stock rom but the thing is i don't think my usb debugging is on so odin and my computer can't access the components inside the phone, i've tried unistalling drivers and trying to reconnect it but no luck... my stock rom on my phone was a avatar 4.0 nightly build or something (4.3 version) and my old CMW was 6.0.3( or something before i tried to get the 6.0.4) now i can't even get it to work when i tried to flash the slimkat rom
i can't get into CMW recovery.... when i try it restarts, when it restarts all i get is a black screen i think i'm screwed here
Try different drivers, cables and usb ports. Usb debugging only matters when you are booted into android. Shouldn't have any effect on download mode.

i've tried different port different cables different computers i've tried reinstalling the drivers and using different installations nothing seems to be making the phone readable, and yes i can get into download mode but odin or the computer can't detect which port it is on
How are you reinstalling drivers? You have to uninstall through device manager. And make sure your cables are data cables. Many out there are not capable of data transfers. Unless the port on the device has gone bad or been damaged, I'm not sure what else you can try. But if it cannot connect on any port on any computer, I think it may be a hardware issue like I just mentioned.
Did you try different driver versions? You can get several from the link in my sig.
What about trying different operating systems (i.e. WinXP, Win7, OSX, etc.)?
Could be worth a shot. Odin is Windows only though. I think heimdall works for the rest.
