[Q] Download mode not recognised!

---

Just installed the samsung drivers on my fairly old PC because my laptop decided to break..
Anyway everything installed PC recognises my kies/mass storage/ADB etc
But when i go to flash a rom in odin it doesnt recognise download mode!
Nothing happens what so ever, and it normally says 'added'
So im kinda confused :/

p.s Yes i have reinstalled the drivers and cleared cache and temp and other crap like that, lol.

I had that problem erlier. I didn't have a Windows-machine at home to use KIES and Odin with, use Linux normaly so I took a older computer and installed Windows at it to flash my beloved SGS.

But that computer didn't recognized my phone i Download mode either, but all other modes worked. After some time I'd saw that the USB ports wasn't Hi-speed. So I tried to put in a PCI card with USB Hi-speed ports and with those it works.

Maybe your USB ports aren't Hi-speed?

Hope this may help.

Thats probabbly it :/
Ill just have to fix my laptop
