with those it should work right?

It still doesnt recognize it in download mode

You did open Odin right?

yeah ofcourse!!

I might be mistaken, but if you install the latest Kies Mini it also includes all the latest drivers you need.

yes.
Get Kies Mini.
It installs ALL your drivers, and we're you on a 2.3 ROM before bricking? in that cause you may need NEXUS S drivers.

if you were on cm7 you may need the nexus s drivers. i get the drivers for cm7 from the android sdk manager->available packages->third pary add-ons->Google Inc.->Google USB Driver package.

Heres what happens, if i let my phone boot normally, it recognizes it normally as a sgh t959 device as samsung, but if my phone is in download mode it wont recognise it besides a unknown device????? i flashed simply honey 3.6 comming from 2.2.1 biwinning lol, so it bricked..

Definitely driver related. Re-install them, reboot the PC and try multiple USB ports and multiple PC's if possible. USB port could be a potential issue but wouldn't make sense being you can be recognized fine when the phone is booted.

I already tried that, and it still doesnt work??? God i hate that when it happens...
My win7 also just simply worked but xp is just killing me

[Q] Soft Brick

I've searched all over the posts and google and have yet to find a solution. I am a MAC user and trying to restore fascinate. I am stuck at Samsung screen. I can get into Clockwork Mod Voodoo.
When i did my last backup I never enabled USB Debugging. I can not ./adb into device, nor can I use ODIN on friends PC. (No Device) Same result with Heimdal "Failed to detect Device" I would just like to get back to stock. Is there a step by step guide to recover similar to ODIN get you back to stock but for a MAC. Or since i never enabled Debug mode I should just use my warranty?
When you tried Odin, did you have the battery out and put the phone in download mode?

Yes, I did see the Yellow triangle Droid character w/ shovel
So, battery out and in download mode, Odin doesn't recognize? Hm

I feel because I never enabled debug mode originally.
Does it recognize the phone at all? Maybe the drivers need to be updated

Morning, I'm attempting to resolve the same issue. I have the "Yellow Shovel" Andy but I can't get Odin to recognize the device.
The device was fine and Odin was working last night, however I do believe I did something ridiculous last night. I tried flashing my phone with a Nexus S rom and succeeded. HOWEVER, the only buttons that are recognized are the "Home" and "Menu" soft keys.
I can boot into the 2.3 Nexus S rom but I can't get the hardware to recognize anymore.
UPDATE: I managed to get the USB to recognize. I'm not completely sure how, it just started recognizing it after fidgeting with the cable. I'm not flashing it back to stock using ODIN and the following post.

UPDATE: The link above worked. I recommend using the stock USB cable that comes with the phone. Now that it's back.. I'm curious to know what I would have to change for 2.3 to work.. hm..

Come to think of it I did update the drivers on my friends PC but there was an error installing drivers. He had a Windows XP 32bit device (Did install the 32bit drivers X86) Im going to try my other buddies PC he has Vista should that make a difference?
Soft Brick fixed

Windows doesn't recognize my phone

Alright, so I've been trying to figure out why Windows doesn't recognize my phone in Download Mode (attempting to get EB13) and I've now realized it doesn't even detect it in Mass Storage mode (Windows tells me a USB device was not recognized when I connect it)
Any ideas?
I'm stumped here...
Note: tried it on both x86 and x64 versions of Windows.
Download the latest drivers. As for download mode areu trying to use odin?

Check the "teeth" in where the cable connects to your phone. Some people have had them bend out of place.

Just downloaded them onto my x86 machine, and even when connecting my phone in normal mode (when it's fully on) it tells me device not recognized.
So at this point, I'm not even focusing on Odin, because nothing seems to be able to see my phone over USB.
I've even tried a different cable, but to no avail.
And yeah, I tried the Samsung EB13 download and I tried Odin. Neither could see it (just like Windows).
Other then this, it works perfectly fine. So it's not like I bricked it or anything.
Having the same issue. Tried multiple computers, reinstalling the drivers, and multiple USB cables. No luck. Makes things tough trying to get EB 13.

Alright, so I'm not alone here...
Windows actually seems to have just recognized it while powered up fully (and is currently installing the drivers).
Figure I'll let that finish and then try Download Mode again.
And then hope for the best I guess.
EDIT: It seems to be working now.
The Samsung EB13 utility is doing its thing in Download Mode.
Crossing my fingers it finishes without incident.
Uninstall drivers then install then reboot pc and phone then try. If reboot didn't solve the problem reboot phone and try again.
Epic 4g
Well, it seemed to be working.
But now my phone has a green screen and the EB13 utility is stuck on "FACTORYFS" and the progress bar says "Elapsed Time: 18sec.... 4%"
I really hope this didn't brick my Epic
anyone know where the drivers are for the epic
shud be somewhere on this site.. or on samsungs website.. its easy to just google..

[Q] I think if bricked it good this time....

I think I have finally done it....
I can get my phone to download mode but neither ODIN or Heimdall see the phone.
Its weird that I can boot in to recovery and at that point ODIN will see the device, it appears as COM, but it will not see it in download mode.
any ideas?
If i get can in Download mode, it can be fixed.
Get the Drivers.
If your using a 2.3.3 rom get Nexus S drivers.
Install them, then try it.
if not, try on a different computer, more preferably a windows XP (idk why it just always works for me on my old XP)
I had the same issue. U need windows 7. Vista nor xp never worked for me on any oc but 7 did
to be certain, download/install the drivers

Windows 7 never worked (until now-a-days since i bought a brand new computer)
XP worked always, and still does.

Samsung drivers

Hi .
does anyone know other drivers i can use for the i9505 device?
The drivers installed from keis do not work under Recovery mode from TWRP .
When i connect my device to my windows 8 machine, on device manager it complains that it cannot find the drivers for the phone yet when the device is booted into a working rom of any kind, it detects it?
Thanks in advance
Google, Samsung usb drivers.

tried the above steps and did not work
windows still cant detect my phone.
edit: even on my windows 7 laptop it wont detect it
Did you kill or uninstall Kies? If so, try a different cable.
Might be Windows 8 ( wouldn't be surprised ) try running kies in Win7 or XP mode etc? Have you allowed USB debugging?
i've tried a different cable and even a different computer all together where i installed win7 on that laptop only a week ago so still fresh. im about to try it on my imac .
If this doesnt work then surely the drivers in question are not correct!
will find the mac drivers

USB connection impossible on Win 10?

So I updated all my devices to Windows 10 (PC, Laptop, Surface) and now I can't connect my note 4 to any of them while in windows, the connection was working good on win 8.1 but on win 10 just nope. I tried using different cables (including the original) and ports and always get the error "This USB Device has malfunctioned" (or nothing at all) and I have been on many different ROMs including android 5.0.1/5.0.2 TW, AOSP 5.1 and TW 5.1 so as I can't manage to fix it on my own would like to ask if anyone else is experiencing this and if anyone managed to fix it?
Also I do know that the USB connection is actually working as I have tested it on a Win 8.0 PC and it does work in Ubuntu on both my PC and Laptop. And I did install kies and even did a full wipe and re-install on my laptop (because I managed to break all the partitions somehow).
And an other question: is there any way to flash something to the device in Linux as for some reason even Odin doesn't see the device in download mode?
hmm sounds wired as i am on windows 10 too and i dont have any problems what so ever. I do not have kies and will never use that ****. I have the drivers installed. try uninstalling the kies bloatware and then get the drivers only and try.
If that dont work then i would say try and find a pc with win 8.1 and flash stock rom and try and see if that will work on win 10. Maybe try and use logcat and see what is going wrong when connecting. Also try installing ADB on pc and see if you can pull logs that way...

Thank you but I installed kies only after I saw I couldn't connect and nope, adb does not connect also but I did pull logs in terminal emulator when both connecting to ubuntu and win 10 and they look exactly the same (except ofc some messages from apps) so probably the phone does the exact same thing but the Windiws OS just fails to connect for some reason.
The thing is I don't have a win8.1/older I could use to flash cause everyone in my familty did the exact same thing, I also need to flash the 5.1.1 bootloader and am stuck cause of the exact same reason.
Any other ideas?
Ask a friend to use there pc someone must have win 8.1 or win7 or a risky thing is use Linux and use odin via wine. If you can't figure it out go to your nearest phone repair shop.
