after a couple failed odin flashes

my PHONE is STUCK in DOWNLOAD MODE and i can't use ODIN because my PC now says USB NOT RECOGNIZED

ive uninstalled/reinstalled driver

different ports..different usb cables..different pc and still no luck..and yes ive searched xda..and i have yet to find anyone with similar issues..any ideas?

i finally got my phone to work

IT SEEMS LIKE WINDOWS DOESNT BOTHER TO TRY TO INSTALL THE DRIVERS SO YOU HAVE TO DO IT MANUALLY THROUGH DEVICE MANAGER

1) download http://www.multiupload.com/NMPX3KMWRS

this has the 64 & 32 bit driver folders..put which ever one u use on ur desktop

2) open device manager..plug your phone..if your pc says usb not recognized and unknown device shows in device manager..right click..properties..then uninstall it..

3) unplug ur phone..plug it back in then unknow device should show up in device manager..go to its properties then click update driver..the select own drivers..then browse to the 64 or 32 bit folder and click ok then next..it will try to install but you might get a error..

hopefully it will say install gadget serial and fail..that means ur pc kinda recognizes it

then all u ahve to do is from there is go to device manager..go to the properties of gadget serial..update driver..and browse to the driver folder..and it should install..then u have to do it a couple of more times for when it recognizes other samsung devices such as the adb and composite

Instructions here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803492

First, download http://www.multiupload.com/NMPX3KMWRS

This contains Odin, the Samsung Drivers, stock odin rom, updated odin rom, pit file.

If you don't want to lose your settings, etc. you can skip to the second part. If your phone still doesn't work than start from the top.

-PART 1-

Step 1.) Make sure you have the appropriate drivers installed for your phone. If you are on 64bit then choose 64, if you are on 32 choose 32. You may already have the drivers installed and it will tell you after you try to install them.

Step 2.) Power your phone off

Step 3.) Open Odin.exe and plug a usb cable to your computer that will connect to your phone (do not plug it in to the phone yet, just the computer)

Step 4.) Hold down both volume buttons at the same time and while holding them down plug the usb into your phone. You should see a COM message show up in Odin.

Step 5.) To ensure your phone is back to stock, in odin you will want to check the repartition button. ONLY CHECK IT WHEN YOU ARE FLASHING BACK TO STOCK. Leave the other check boxes the way they are.

Step 6.) Click the PIT button and select the 512.pit file

Step 7.) Click the PDA button and select Original.tar and then click Start

It should go through a bunch of steps and then your phone will reboot. Below are the steps to update it to the latest release.

Close Odin and power your phone off.

-PART 2-

Step 1.) Open Odin.exe and plug a usb cable to your computer that will connect to your phone (do not plug it in to the phone yet, just the computer)

Step 2.) Hold down both volume buttons at the same time and while holding them down plug the usb into your phone. You should see a COM message show up in Odin.

Step 3.) Leave all check boxes the way they are. Do NOT check the repartition box.

Step 4.) Click the PIT button and select the 512.pit file

Step 5.) Click the PDA button and select T959UVJI6.tar and then click Start

Hope this helps!!!

if you look in my first post i said

"ive uninstalled/reinstalled drivers"

and if i said i tried it on other pcs that would me i would have to install drivers there too..so the driver idea has already been tried..thanks anyway

Hey, I know u said Odin wont recognize your phone, but does your computer recognize that the device or an unknown device has been attached when u plug your phone into the USB. What version of windows are you using.

I know this seems simple.... But unplug phone, shut down ODIN, re-open ODIN, plug phone back in.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaymaca:
same problem here

tried that and still nothing
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmartBrother90:
yea that doesnt work & it wouldn't. because the pc has to recognize the phone before odin can..an that the issue! thanks tho
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RPGbig:
I've also got this probem. Did you by any chance install the voodoo thing? Apparently it messes up your phone if you flash over it.

I think I might buy one with a broken screen for 200ish...............but I really hope I dont have to.

Anyone have a fix for this yet?

@xaymaca i finally got mines to work after 48 hours but it seems like it depends on luck

it seems like windows doesnt want to install the drivers itself
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RPGbig:
um, you just tried alot with those drivers and it eventually worked out differently?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmartBrother90:
no basically first i uninstalled the "unknown device" through device manager

then i would plug the phone..go to device manager and update the drive manually..until gadget serial showed up..if not..i repeat the process..

then when gadget serial shows up..update its driver manually..then samsung adb should show up in device manager..it takes alot of time and patience
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
If your system still fails to recognize your phone. Try installing Mini Kies. Do a quick search there are plenty of download links for that software. Make sure you restart your system after uninstalling the device.

I had similar issues with myn. But eventually got over with by doing a clean install off the drivers.. Hope this helps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jessejess87:
so i did that and it recognized my phone. it says it on the computer and on odin it changed from 0:[COM4] to 1:[COM3]. but it still stays stuck on set PIT file DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
what tar and pit files are you using, i had similar issues when i tried odin'ing back to ji6. however odin'ing to stock JFD worked beautifully. if you need help finding the proper odin files here is a mirror of them: Odin Mirrors
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doubleohseven:
This happened to me before, and someone mentioned it earlier. Get into device manager on windows, go to the Universal Serial Bus (USB) section, and I uninstalled every option you see in there. Restart your computer and windows will automatically reinstall those items apon reboot. The phone should now be detectable...

EDIT: Fail, it appears you already got it solved... :P
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jessejess87:
hey im not sure what tar abd pit files are. im really new to this. question, with the mirror how would i use it? will it still work with my phone trippin lol and not being picked up on my computer.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jessejess87:
and after i do the device manager steps like you said, from there on odin should pick up my phone and will crossing my fingers should be good to go?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
The tar file is the file you select fir pda the pit file is the one you select in pit for odin now if you are showing a connection in odin and a yellow com port is opening up you should have no problem flashing back to stock

Hi all!! Well, I have read and read and read everything I can find about Sense 2.0 and then I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBkyhKpJ57U , I feel I should say that I do enjoy my AOSP Roms from time to time, but everyone has to admit that deep down there is at least one thing you like about Sense, so my question is has ANYONE heard about 2.0 coming to the Evo? Would anyone not upgrade to it? Is there anything that you don't like about Sense now that you don't see being fixed or improved with 2.0? Just trying to see if I am the only one waiting for this to come to our Evo's and trying to see if anyone else has any new info on it, Thanks Guys!:D

(Mods, I felt this was a Q&A about our Evo's, if you feel it belongs in General, by all means move it and proceed to Flame me:p)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkManX4lf:
I havent heard any official word of it coming to the EVO.

[Visual Reference Guide] Recovery & Download Mode for T-Mobile Vibrant - by Groid.

Hey all. As i read through thee forums i see that people are having difficulties with the whole download mode, and recovery mode. I have found that its easier to HOLD THE VOLUME DOWN button for a good 4-7 seconds at the Vibrant splash screen. It always works, gets me right there. Anyways, here is a Visual Guide i made for both.
[Vibrant Android Development] NikolaiT:
Your phone is not hardware locked, as many others are. Most of the complaints come from our not-as-smart brethern (no offense) that do not realize their phones are hardware-locked and simply think they are "doing it wrong"
[Vibrant Android Development] georgegreco86:
I would run the .bat file associated with Unlocking Hardware locked phones. Just a suggestion.
[Vibrant Android Development] Clyborg:
Best way to get into download mode.

I messed up my phone after restoring a rooted-2.1-stock nand backup while using a froyo build. The phone booted up with constant crashes, and would not go into recovery. I should of read the froyo threads prior to doing that, I was just impatient.

I'm not taking credit for this, but this trick was not posted enough:

DOWNLOAD MODE

------------------

1. Turn off phone (if you cant, take out battery, put it back in.)

2. Plug in USB cable to pc, but not the phone just yet.

3. Hold the phone while holding down the both Volume Up and Volume Down buttons (the phone should not turn on).

4. Plug the USB cable into the phone (this will trigger the phone to turn on).

If you follow those exact steps, Download Mode should be displayed on the phone.

[Vibrant Android Development] Nayyak:
or you could just restart the phone while "USB connected" and holding down the volume up& down buttons.

Bose MIE2 and Xperia X10 does not pair. Mic is not working and sound is weird. But MIE2 is working great in other phones.

Did sony ericsson changed the stereo and mic channels in 3.5mm jack. I feel i wasted 200AU$.

Why sony ericsson did not adopt industry standard for 3.5mm jack. I regret buying Xperia X10.

Any solution?.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodlifeSaph:
Dear all,

I have also stumbled upon the fact my Xperia does not support the MIE2.. However i was also experiencing a weird "karaoke" effect with the sound, when i pushed the speak button on the headset this sound would dissapear.

Lucky for me, i have got an old "Jabra BT3030" Bluetooth headset (Used it for my touch diamond since it was not equipped with a jack-out, along with the old Bose in-ears).

I can confirm, the MIE2 works considering sound when routed through the jabra, however; -Mic button does not function.

So for you out there that have an Xperia, do not purchase the MIE2, get the IE2.. and for those that couldn't be bothered with switching it around, use a bluetooth headset to fool the Xperia ^^..

Good luck,

Dennis

Just a quick question re HTC Magic rooting 2.1. I tried to use the SAPPIMG method, but it gave me the wrong model ID error.

In order to downgrade my device, is my only option to create a goldcard?

Or is there some other way to get back to 1.5 or even 1.6 on my magic. (I have had very poor luck with gold cards on my hero... never got it working.) Or has Androot been updated to support 2.1 or was the exploit patched?

Thanks again.

Basically I went from stock to bionix with voodoo and my score was in the 900's........... I then went back to stock then tryed doing it through clockwork, still in the 900's. Then I tried stock with voodoo through odin, and the phone just got stuck at the vibrant screen for more than an hour (so yes i followed directions and let it do its thing). I went back to stock and all my apps, data, and settings were still there....

I don't have the larger nand for sure, I followed instructions and multiplied the number by 512 to see if I did indeed have it.

So what do you voodoo experts recommend I do? Am I missing any other methods?

When you flashed from voodoo back to stock, did you disable it?

Put in a request for a SIM unlock code from your carrier (T-Mobile) and they should send one out to for free via email after a few weeks.

After obtaining the code, insert a different card other than T-Mobiles SIM and input the code.

Since there is a temptation to use open wifi sources with our phones, I was wondering if there is a firewall program that can protect the phone from the network it is connected to?

Also, does there exist a good call recorder program? Particularly one that you can set to record automatically based on caller id. I.e. if a call comes in (or is made) from a particular phone number as soon as the call is connected the recording starts.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Short answer no & no.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
Unfortunately call recording in general sucks. I've only heard of apps that work with speaker phone. I'm told it's an os level design decision.

[HTC 7 Pro] poetryrocksalot:
How the heck do you make a conclusion without making an argument first?
[HTC 7 Pro] SUCCESSOR:
It helps to have only half a brain.

Here's where 7 Pro falls short:

--NO SD SLOT!!

--8Gb of memory

--448Mb RAM

No SD slot makes 8Gb very weak. This is supposed to be an enterprise phone but no SD slot. Needs atleast 16Gb or expansion slot.

448 of RAM? That's less than the MyTouch Slide. Needs atleast 576.
[HTC 7 Pro] Cranck:
The 7 pro has no Multitasking!
[HTC 7 Pro] YOSEFE:
HTC almost had me buy this phone when it is out. I just liked its looks and specifications when it was announced.

However, the absence of sd/microsd card slot have made me rule it out of my plans. A very poor decision on the part of HTC - maybe they wanted to please Microsoft their partner, as it seems that all W7P do not support a memory expansion card.
[HTC 7 Pro] Fl4v1en:
Erm, Htc says it has 576mb of ram, just like HD2
[HTC 7 Pro] exilkubaner:
i have the phone and it has 8GB and 576mb ram.

the missing sd-slot ist not a poor choice by htc but a requirement by microsoft to run wp7 on it.

still, i have no clue why this phone has only 8gb

there still remains the question: why is there no section for the 7 pro?

[HTC 7 Pro] Tempest790:
Sprint released the CDMA version of this phone as well. I hope to see a forum section on it, although I'm with AT&T. I hope a GSM version of this phone comes to the U.S. (or Canada) so we can run 3G bands on it.

I loved my Tilt and Tilt 2, so this looks like the next logical step. I presume AT&T won't be happy until they redo the keyboard like every other HTC phone. :-/

Maybe they're waiting for some 4G hardware version (HSPA+ 14.4)? Wouldn't mind that.
