So basically I need to get into download mode as recovery is not working (Beta Testing for Slim and it just doesnt load) so I need to use download mode. But what happens is I connect, and it says this usb device is malfunctioning. It has done that for 3 phones (All samsung, 2 not rooted and one rooted) This computer used to connect fine but now it doesnt. I've tried everything listed in threads, reinstalling kies, installing drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling, all of it. It just doesnt seem to work. I've rebooted between each reinstallation and just nothing works. I've tried all USB ports and tried plugging the phone in while in recovery, download and just regular with usb debugging on and off. I seriously have no clue what to do.
Have you tried a different cable?
You've tried another computer? Different cables? Different ports?
I have no access to any of those except other ports and I have tried all of them on my computer
Well, you didn't give a lot of detail, but from what you said, I would suspect that there is some problem with the computer or connection, rather with the phones. To continue to troubleshoot the problem, you'll need to get access to someone elses computer and/or cables, I guess.
Is there a way to flash stock roms without the use of an EXE? My brother has a Surface but it's an RT
I found a spare usb cable and IT WORKS YESSSS
EDIT: So the drivers installed but Odin does not recognize my device annnnnd I fixed it by opening odin first. Noob mistake.
