I've tried every way possible of getting ODIN to give me a yellow COM box with no positive results.
Followed instructions to the T everytime. Tried all 4 different USB ports on my desktop, Ive tried three different versions of ODIN, v1.0, v1.3, and v1.7.
What am I trying to do in ODIN you might ask? Flash my phone back to stock. I had AXURA 2.2.7.1 and wanted to go back to 2.1 eClair. ODIN stopped mid-flash to stock, so I went to sleep and left it alone, Woke up with the same situation. Pulled cord, pulled battery. Now I get the "Phone ! Computer" sign.
Really need to recover my phone as fast as possible, as it is the only phone I have (No landline either!)
Why am I not getting a COM port #?
Open up Odin .
Then plug the cable into the PC only .
Then pull the battery from the phone and wait about 5 seconds .
Now hold both volume buttons and put the battery back in (dont let go) .
Still holding the both volume buttons now plug in the usb cable to the phone .
You should now be in download mode and Odin should see the phone .
If not try using a different usb port preferably one directly off the motherboard .
Also try right clicking MY COMPUTER then selecting MANAGE then click Device MANAGER to see if it being recognized .
Followed your instructions twice, nothing. Checked device manager and I dont see anything indicating the phone is being recognized.
It's a driver issue. You need to use the Samsung Mobile driver rather than the SGH-t959_Vibrant_USB_Drivers driver. There was a thread or even multiple threads containing both drivers. The Kies Mini contains the Samsung Mobile driver. Do a search or something and you'll find them. There are multiple ways you can do this. If you want, you can try uninstalling whatever driver you have now. Uninstall Kies Mini if you have it installed and still not recognized. Reboot and reinstall Kies Mini. reboot and do you Odin thing. GL
Have you installed the drivers .
If not download and install the drivers found here .

Its fixed. Apparently the drivers I downloaded on my desktop were wrong, or something. Went upstairs and grabbed my mom's laptop that I was using last night when this problem happened, and it went right through. Thanks all!
Alright, Ive been browsing these forums ever since I got a Captivate and now I am trying to help a friend that has an Epic. They currently have dk28. Their Epic has always been Flakey on being detected on computers. We have tried three, it only gets detected on Mass storage on one of those and doesnt get detected in dowload mode on any of them. That being said, We cannot get back to stock via Odin, or use the Samsung official Update due to that it will not be detected in download mode. Can anyone tell me is there anything I can do at this point? Ive already tried 3 cables, uninstalling and re-installing drivers, etc... I am hoping maybe there is some way to get back to stock without odin, then from there getting to EB13 without the use of a computer. Thanks in advance and I look forward to posing here.....
Did you restart the computer at all?
usb debugging enabled?
i have trouble connecting sometimes and it's always solved by restarting the phone.

Are you placing the phone in Download mode???
****Ensure USB Debugging is Enabled.
Download mode:
1. power off the phone.
2. Press 1 + Power button together
otherwise, I would highly recommend to:
1. uninstall drivers
2. restart the PC
3. install the Samsung drivers
4. restart
5. try connecting the phone (while powered on) and letting the PC recognize it.
6. Once drivers are installed, unplug the USB cable and Power off the phone
7. Place the phone in download mode and reconnect the USB cable and let the secondary drivers install.
8. unplug and reboot the phone, and restart the PC for last time.
Try Odin now, remember you need the phone in Download mode to use Odin.
Note: Yes I know I send the OP to restart many times his PC but, with windows we can never "restart" to much...
Couple things:
What OS are you using? If vista or 7, plug it in in debugging and go to the devices window in control panel, see if there is a samsung device there. If there is, right click and look at properties..check to see if there's an adb driver. If you see other drivers but not adb then its matter of getting the drivers to install somehow.
Second, there IS a full di18.zip, and a modem updater.zip to di18 as well, both flashable in CWM..(I believe its in a thread started by noobnl, its kinda old)...you might only have to do the .zip though since you'll eventually be going to the eb13 modem. I don't know for sure.
But be wary: switching android versions with CWM can be dangerous. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but it can actually be riskier than using odin. I would say use this only in last resort.
If you decide to do this, MAKE SURE you have the full download (I say download twice and compare the sizes just to make sure), have a full battery and keep it plugged in, and do your 3x wipes
Good luck

Im Using Vista and No Drivers were there.... And I guess I may be at the last resort point. Full details?
some people have tried changing usb ports and it will work.
anyone else having problems not being able to connect phone to comp. can try this method but not sure if this works on the dk28.
what you could do is to remove the microsd card from phone use the adapter that came with it and put sd card into your laptop or if you have a external hub then your microsd will just be a storage devise then download the mac version of froyo from samsung (sorry i can't post outside links yet)but it is the samsung support downloads then search for this SPH-D700ZKASPR click on the software then download the mac version to comp. then copy and paste what you downloaded to the root of the sdcard (the first one you see when you open the sdcard) then put card back in phone, power off phone wait untill all lights go off press volume down, camera and power at same time. then in recovery chose update.zip from sd by using volume buttons to chose what you want to do then press the home button to start.
I had issues with mine taking the update (and issues with it beforehand) and getting it recognized on two different computer, multiple times, it seems completely random whether or not it would work sometimes.

Any confirmation on whether or not this is safe and will work???
this is how i put different updates in zip format on my phones sometimes my comp hesitates, so to make sure they go on sd card all the way this is how i do it. its doing the same as mounting phone in storage mode.
but i went back to stock ecliar di18 2.1 a couple days ago and i had no prob.at all.
i just didn't want to wait for the ota and i found the update.zip on the samsung website yesterday at about 6 pm. downloaded it and it worked great. was rooted this morning at 7am and am good to go.

I dont see how this is going to help me since I am not on stock....
sorry, what i was saying for you was to change ports. i guess what should have been asked is are you rooted or do you just have the unofficial dk28 on it from dec. and have you removed any of the bloatware?
Yes change USB ports. The ones in the front normally don't work. You need one directly on the mortherboard

Hate to ask, but did you follow the instructions EXACTLY as the SW Updater tool says? Pull battery (next) - Download mode (next) - plug into PC (next) - Pull battery (again) (next).
One of the steps the tool does has to do with installing drivers... you mentioned Vista, but is it 32 or 64 bit? Have you tried a different PC?

I have the exact issue with my phone. I can only connect to my computer using the back usb ports (off the motherboard). I'm on windows 7. If you haven't, give that a shot. Even try uninstalling the drivers, connecting to the back usb ports and see what it does.
Saw someone post about Odin only working when they flipped the phone face down - thought it had something to do with the accelerometer. I suspect that in that case it might just be a bad connection and flipping the phone over made the contacts work. Worth trying though it you are desperate.
My phone is running DL30 based Blackhole 4.01 with the DL09 modem. When I try to plug my phone into a computer, the phone detects the computer, but the computer does not detect the phone.
- The phone starts charging
- The phone says "USB Debugging Connected"
- The computer does nothing
- adb devices lists no devices
- same thing in download mode, the computer doesn't see the phone
I have tried on OS X and booted into Windows XP.
I have no idea how to handle this. The one thing I tried was installing the Stock/rooted DL30 rom instead of Blackhole, but that didn't seem to fix and I went back.
To make matters worse, assuming that everything in ROM Manager is basically safe, I accidentally installed orange clockwork today and I cannot figure out how to get back to a working clockwork. The All ClockworkMod Recoveries option in ROM Manager does nothing - they all say download error.
Wow. If anybody can help with any of this, that would be great. Thanks everyone.
Did you install the proper samsung drivers onto the computer.
Edit: Also did you try to Odin, the title indicates no odin, but your explanation doesnt say so. (Open Odin, remove battery, hold down volume and insert usb cable)
what do you mean "onto my phone?" My Windows system has samsung drivers and OS X were both previously able to connect, use odin, etc. I don't know when it stopped working.
Yeah, odin doesn't work because the computer never detects that the phone is attached.

Sorry, meant computer.
What do you mean odin stopped working, your explanation doesnt say anything about odin as my edit in above post.
What I mean is that I used odin to install DL09. After that, I don't recall every attaching to my computer, but when I tried recently to install EB01, it no longer works. Sometime after flashing DL09, my phone is no longer detected by computer.
Im saying does odin detect the phone, not the computer.
You can odin the updated CWM (non orange) from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
no, odin does not see the phone.

Are you sure Odin doesn't work?
Check USB settings on your phone. My rom gives me media player mode and mass storage mode. Don't have my cable with me to test if media player mode stays hidden from the pc.

Odin uses download mode with phone off.. What would this matter?

I was IRL with OP trying to solve this a few days ago. It's not that improper/no drivers are installed, the computer literally does not detect that there is a device connected to that USB port. lsusb on Linux turns up just the controllers and root hubs, and devmgmt.msc on XP does not show anything attached at all, even after a manual hardware scan. adb shows absolutely nothing. My Captivate does show up on all the same scans, regardless of the USB mode (Kies/mass storage/media player/what have you.)
He has tried this on multiple computers, so individual ports/USB controllers/drivers/OS bugaboos have been effectively ruled out.
My thought is that between your last flash, OP, and now, your physical microUSB port on the phone is damaged. If you no can haz insurance, I'd say you're SOL.
FYI: The phone does not say "debugging connected" when plugged into the wall. I think the my USB connector is damaged or something. I may consider seeing if I can get it repaired, or I may just wait until I can get a different phone that's better supported by manufacturer (and therefore by the mod community)
I am trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (well actually i would like to install a new rom and recovery) , but i am running into a problem.
Odin3 (v1.85) only finds my phone when i am not in the recovery mode (or the sideload to be precise), adb on the other hand is able to to do sideload but the loaded images fail with "Wront footer" and "verification failed".
Some Data:
AP: N9005XXUENA7
CP: N9005XXUENA2
CSC: N9005DTMENA2
Model: SM-N9005
Android: 4.4.2 (Stock, no root)
USB Debugging: On
Reactivation Lock: Off
USB Driver: Kies 3 (also tried the CWM Drivers)
If you have KIES installed it doesn't play nice with Odin, remove KIES or kill all KIES processes and try again.

Thank you,
i removed Kies and tried again, i still don't get "ID:COM" in Odin.
Sorry I should have said, once you uninstall KIES you remove the USB drivers, you need to install them again. Again, sorry should have said

No problem,
i actually installed the "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones" Pack after removing Kies and doing the reboot stuff.
Still don't get the device via odin.
Maybe i will remove all the drivers and try the CWM Driver again.
Try a different USB port - Not sure why it's not showing for you

I tried different Ports (USB 2 and 3), different Cables and different drivers.
Removed Kies3, tripple check that debugging is on and recovery lock is off.
Still, Odin finds the device when it is not in recovery mode (sideload),
Was another user who had the same problem had to use another PC, I'm struggling to think of what may be the cause.
I had also the sane problem. I also tried all ports on my PC but did not work. I installed KIEs on my Laptop and it worked. I could flash the CWM recovery.

Put phone in download mode then with Odin NOT running, plug USB cable to phone. Finally ran Odin ( I'm assuming you installed Samsung USB drivers ).

I did this on a new computer that never saw an Android device before.
Odin does not detect my device despite following this advice and the one before.
I installed Kies, made my device known to the Windows Device Manager, rebooted, connected device while in sideload-mode and waited until detection was finished. The next step was firing up Odin3 v1.85 and my device didn't show up, but i was able to use the adb sideload which failed with "Verification Error" when installing a new recovery or rom.
Could it be that the phone being branded by T-Mobile Germany changed the game even though the model is just plain SM-N9005 ?
Is there another option to root this device or preferably install some other rom without Odin?
Never ran into so much trouble with my Asus eeePad, the Samsung I9000 or the HTC One X.

Well when stupidity strikes you...
I always went into the recovery rom (Vol+ & Power & Home) instead of going with the odin mode (remove battery, power device on with Vol- & Home & Power).
Thanks everyone who tried to help me, but you were no match to my blindness ^^
Maybe this might help someone who utilizes the search function after he or she didn't read the tutorials carefull enough.

It's always the simplest things
I am new to posting, but I have followed XDA for a long time and used it to install custom ROM's on other phones. However, I now have a problem with my wife's Samsung Galaxy GT-S5360L. I have searched for hours, but can not find a solution.
The phone is stuck in a boot loop. I can enter stock recovery mode. When I try to perform a factory reset, I get the following message:
E:format folume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl11
formatting /cache
Data wipe complete
After wiping the cache partition, the phone continues to be stuck in the same boot loop after reboot (Samsung logo appears on screen, followed by animation, back to Samsung logo).
The phone will not enter into download mode. When I press power+volume down+home, I see a white screen, followed by a black sreen, followed by another white screen. the suggested method of removing the battery, SIM, and SD card, and plugging into the computer while holding both volume buttons does not work. Odin will not recognize that the phone is connected.
I tried to connect the phone to two different computers. One runs Linux mint with Windows XP on a VM. This computer has always worked for flashing ROM's to other phones. Odin would not recognize the phone, and I received messages that the device was not properly installed.
I then tried to connect the phone to another computer with Windows Vista. This PC has Kies installed and Samsung drivers. Kies would not connect to the phone, and I also received messages that the device was not properly installed. Odin would not recognize the phone. I should note that the phone has interfaced with this computer sucessfully before.
This phone has never had a custom recovery or ROMs installed. It only has the original stock ROM. Is the phone's hardware defective, or can it somehow be fixed? Please post any links to threads that I may have missed. Thanks.
Download mode is only effected by a change in bootloader normally by Flashing incompatible firmware or a hardware fault
For flashing via odin kies is not required - its useless as it's not compaitable with the galaxy y for this purpose
You just need the Samsung USB drivers available from my firmware thread (links in signature)
It maybe possible to still flash the device
Once USB drivers installed
Enter download mode
Connect USB to pc
When the white screen appears push Vol up
Wait a few seconds
Open odin
Put the 3 firmware files in their places & flash
If it doesn't flash you will either need to flash a new bootloader via a jtag (repair shop) Or replace the motherboard - either way unless you can get it done very cheap it's more economical to buy a new phone
Thank you marcussmith2626 for your sound advice. The phone is working again. I will share the problems I solved in order to flash the stock ROM. Hopefully this will help anyone else that may have a similar problem.
The Samsung USB drivers had been previously installed on my PC running windows vista. I installed the drivers so that I did not have to use the bloated Kies software. However, when I tried to connect the corrupted phone to the PC via USB, it was not recognized, even though the correct drivers were installed. Below is the procedure I had to follow in order to connect the phone:
1. I connected the phone to the computer via USB. The phone had the battery installed and was powered off. After connecting to the computer, the phone started charging (battery icon on screen). Connecting in download mode at this point did not work. The phone must be powered off.
2. When the "found new hardware" notification box appeared, I had to make a note of each device that had been discovered.
3. I then had to open Device Manager from the control panel and find each device (the name in Device Manager matched the name in the new hardware notification).
4. I right clicked on each unknown device and selected "update driver software"
5. In the next menu, I selected "Browse my computer for driver software"
6. In the following menu, I selected "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer"
7. This brought up a list currently installed drivers. I selected the Samsung phone driver.
8. The driver then installed for the selected device..
9. Steps 2 through 9 were repeated for each new device discovered by Windows (each device listed in the "found new hardware" dialog).
10. I started the phone in boot mode (power+home+volume down, phone still connected to PC). I saw only a white screen. However, when I pressed the volume up button, the phone connected to the PC. Odin recoginized the phone and the stock ROM was flashed.
So, even if you only see a white screen, download mode can still be active. In my case, the drivers on the PC were not working correctly, probably due to the corruption of the original stock ROM. The drivers can only be added on my PC using the above method. The option to choose from a list of currently installed drivers was not available from the found new hardware wizzard.
Also, I will also say for reference that in the USA, the stock ROM from Brazil is the one that should be used so that the phone broadcasts on the proper GSM frequencies.
