Can no longer connect to phone via laptop

Hi I have been running Android nand 2.2 for some time now and have been increasingly frustrated by the number of people complaining of a high pitched hiss when I call them , I have witnessed this and decided to investigate , my initial indications were that it may be a radio so I decided to do a complete rebuild and go from there.
My problems have a risen as I can no longer connect to the phone via PC , e.g. I was trying to use the Task29 exe to clean the phone and booted the phone into the 3 color band screen and it detected the USB connection , however when I run Task29 (or any rom for that matter ) they eventually come back after "Verifying phone contents screen" and say that the phone could not be detected
I have never had this before usually connects straight away , however I had not attempted to connect since my last rom build , I am bit vague about the details but seem to remember using the clockwork method to deploy it
So I am wondering if somehow I have messed something up or is it simply a drivers issue and if so how would I replace them?
uninstall the drivers and reinstall them
Thx, I got the same result by trying it on a laptop that hadn't seen the phone before , it all worked then, just for ref if I uninstall the drivers won't it simply reinstall the same ones or do I have to delete something on the laptop itself , or is it likely to be a corrupt driver and reinstalling cures?
sometimes it happens, ihad it happen the other day, i had to remove the device from device manager and let it reinstall the drivers for it to be picked up for flashing again
Make sure you have windows mobile device center installed. It has the necessary drivers for detecting a phone in bootloader(tri-color) mode and also when you are flashing Mag or CWM partitions

[Q] Can't get out of emergency mode (NO USB DEBUGGING MODE)

Hello all,
I have big problems with my L7 P700.
I rooted it two month ago, even that time I was stuck at yellow emergency mode, but using some instruction (disable LG modem) I was able to boot phone again.
Today I believe I have totally different problem.
What I did, I found stock firmware 4.1.2 and LG drivers, I installed it. Restarted phone and pressed Volume UP + Power. Phone went to yellow emergency mode, ok... Then I tried to use KDZ_FW_EN, phone was not seen. I restarted it and it booted ok to system. Turned of again, went to emergency mode than I opened KDZ_FW_EN again. I tried to read phone information, the program chrashed. I opened it again and tried to flash firmware. There were errors, and I am pretty sure phone wasn't even properly connected to PC!
So if you don't understand me I will repeat again.
I went to emergency mode WITHOUT USB DEBUGGING ON (I disabled it one day, I remember, this time I forget to turn it on). So Under device manager I see only USB composite device and LG Modem, disabling modem isn't a fix (like two month ago when I rooted). This time I can't use any of flashing tools cos I am not in debugging mode =(. The only thing I don't understand is how I was able to destroy my phone if it wasn't even flashing it (port number was -1, some wparam 100-1000 errors, i closed program in the middle but it wasn flashing if I wasn't in debug mode?)
Phone is rooted and stuck at emergency mode, without usb debugging and hard reset bring the emergency on (BOTH VOLUME BUTTONS + MENU)
Anyone?
Yes, I had the same problem a few months ago. Try install firmware stock V20D without battery and then connect phone via cable USB to PC but turning on Emergency Mode. Next, 3GQCT and CS EMERGENCY. Of course you can change port USB. Try reinstall KDZ and drivers. If you have Windows Vista then that's the problem. I'm sure that this situation will be resolve.
Ok I made it!
Don't know how, maybe it was working all the time. I've seen that phone is connected thru Ports (COM & LPT). Opened KDZ again, even that the install for firmware usb driver failed. I again tried to flash, again there were errors (wparam,...) and port -1?, I just left phone connected, yesterday I unplugged it! After 10minutes phone restarted and here is 4.1.2 and all the data is here!
Don't know what I was doing =)
Thread can be closed now!
Great!

If the phone won't turn on at all you might be boned.
Odin and all that obviously require you to be able to boot to download mode.
Are you positive the battery is good? Could you find another battery to try?
Does the charging light come on when its plugged in? Are there any signs of life at all?

I think it does turn on because the phone does continue to heat up but its just a black screen also i can put it into download mode and it stays there without being plugged into charge. I'm not sure about the battery ill have to check that out. ill get back to you.
It sounds like you dont have recovery or a rom installed at all.
To fix that you need odin. If the PC wont recognize the phone that is a problem. Did you try a different USB cord to connect to the PC? They are not all created equal.

yes i have used both the original one that came with the phone and the s5 one that my brother has, i have had no luck.
my phone shows up as "msm8960" or mtp usb device also it it device driver software was not successfully installed.
[UPDATE] i have found something similar to odin called JOdin3 that connects to my phone, through this i will try to flash a stock firmware, downloaded from sammobile, and see what happens.
Odin doesn't work without the drivers, and since you had an issue with the drivers that would explain why Odin doesn't work yet JOdin3 does.

I installed the samsung drivers several times and it still wouldn't connect to the pc, i also installed kies and it still wouldn't work, but it was working before i bricked my phone. i have fixed my phone through JOdin3.But thank you everyone for your help.
Will it connect now through Odin or Kies?

No it still wont connect to either but the computer does recognize the phone.
MTP is built into Windows, so the fact the PC detects the phone is a good sign. The entire problem you're having seems to hinge on your PC rejecting the Samsung drivers, which are absolutely required for Odin to function. Those drivers should have no problems installing, and I have successfully installed them on both Windows 7 (x64) and Windows 8.1 machines so I know the installer does work.
There could be many reasons as to the source of your problem, such as a corrupt file or registry entry from when the phone soft-bricked. You want to take a closer look and do some detective work here. Uninstall the drivers if you haven't already done so. Clean out the PC with CCleaner. Even attempt a reinstall of the drivers in the PC's safe mode. Regardless of what you choose to do, if you ever wish to use Odin, you'll need to get this resolved.

yeah ill definitely try to fix the problem because odin is such a great tool. i have uninstalled and installed the samsung drivers but i'll go search the net and what not to try and find a fix. odin was working before when i flashed the stock rom and changed something to mtp and adb (i think i put in an ussd code or something (*#0808#) and through that i was able to use odin) but because the wifi wasn't working on the stock rom, i flashed a custom rom to fix the wifi problem but was once again greeted with the odin problem.

[Q] Galaxy S-5360 No Download Mode, but Recovery Mode Works

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.
