Help with a previously soft-bricked GS3

linux-howto

http://forum.xda-developers.com – I recently accidently bricked my GS3, and needed a jig to boot into download mode. After successfully getting into download mode with the jig, however, Windows 7 doesn't recognize my GS3, instead giving the message "USB Device Not Recgonized" and showing the yellow triangle on the device icon in the device manager as an unknown device. This is obviously a problem, as Odin can't recognize the device either, to flash a stock rom to get me out of this mess. I honestly don't know how to remedy this. Any thoughts? (HowTos)

Hey guys. I just bought a soft bricked captivate from a friend of mine. It is able to go into download mode but thats it so far. Can I use odin to flash a stock rom onto the device to boot it? Or flash a recovery? Btw im not new to the forums :p

Guys When I connect my phone to my computer it is constantly installing unknown device driver.

Ive tried all my ports. Its a hit and miss with this thing. In a blue moon it will catch and recognize it as the samsung device.

Some days ago I tried to upgrade my phone to the latest official ICS using ODIN as KIES was always giving disconnection errors before finishing the upgrade.

Finally I got my phone stuck at the download mode with an error message and a yellow warning triangle.

I thought I had a bricked phone, but fortunately I managed to recover it using an old official ROM.

After an extensive search of XDA and other forums - I am wondering if anyone has suggestions for a situation in which my PCs (one that is Win7Ultimate and one that is Win8Pro) will only recognize my recently acquired, used Galaxy Tab 7510 when the Tab is placed in "download" or ODIN mode.

Thankfully, I can install CWM recovery and flash other ROMS because the PC's recognize the Tab 75
