HELP| Odin wont detect, nor computer

[theghazi]

This is probably my 6th galaxy s2, and all the prior phone have worked just fine, but this new one. so drivers are installed properly. I even plugged the galaxy s2 in other computer where drivers are installed too, but no luck.

my device manager says unknown device, and even the sdcard is not showing up in the file manager of windows 7.

i just want to root this newly acquired galaxy s2 but i have to use odin. i have installed the required file to my sdcard using the memory slot in the computer . but cant get the phone to detect.

what is other means i can root the device without using odin, if i cant get this phone to detect in my pc.

6th gs2 holy ****, you scammer.. jk or am i?


well if your 5 other gs2's worked.. then it's probably your phone. There are a couple instances of this. bring it to the tmobile store and show them that it won't connect and get an exchange.

if you don't want to do that... then try different usb ports and cables, but if that fails... then exchange it.

I buy and sell phones. I try different phones every couple weeks . Yes i tried different cable and tried different computers and usb port. But nothing worked. I think its my usb port from the phone

yeah, most likely its the microsd port because it doesn't even detect as a removable storage. there are a few other options, but doubt they will work.

Try to remove the samsung drivers and install kies instead.

if not then you can always remove all the usb installed drivers using USBdeview.. remove the samsung and android ones. Then plug in your phone and let it sit for 5-10 mins... but if it doesn't detect anything from the get-go then you need to do an exchange.

Tried that. Not a thing. It does detect but unknown device. Thanks for all your help folks
