Unable to get computer and ODIN to recognize my Sprint S3

[bigdgramps]

I have been working on this the last two days and I know that I must be screwing something up but I can't figure out what it may be.

I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 SPH-L710. I have loaded the samsung drivers on to my computer and connected my phone. I have down loaded ODIN 3 v3.04, clockworkmod.TAR, loaded the CWM_superuser_v3.0.7.zip onto the phone, set the phone up for USB debugging, disconnected the phone, shut it down, boot into the recovery mode, started ODIN, connected the phone to the computer using USB.

The computer recognizes the phone when I look at the devices and printer page, however, I do not see the phone in explorer and ODIN does not recognize that it is there. I have done a troubleshoot on the device page and it says all is fine. I am using Windows 7 (I gave up trying to use Windows and USB3).

What have I done wrong???

Good troubleshooting so far. I would also recommend:

1) Reboot PC (You'd be surprised how often that simple fix will work)
2) Try a different USB port
3) Try a different USB cable.

Thank you. I did all that also. Even tried different computer.

Thanks again

Don't think this will help, but odin is on version 3.07. The link is here.

Thanks, will give it a try.

Also, you may want to ensure that you're using the samsung usb driver version 1.4.6.0. If you have that, then try deleting the samsung driver from the programs menu in control panel, turn off windows automatic driver update and re-install drivers without your phone plugged in. The newer versions of the sammy drivers bork the connection for some reason.

Are you in recovery mode or download mode? You need to be in download mode for it to work! That is download mode on am s2, same basic idea as s3...
Look up for the s3 how to get into download mode, but for the s2 you hold down both volume buttons while connected to USB and it goes into it. I think it may be the same on the s3. If you are I'm fact already I'm download mode not recovery then this isn't your problem, but if you are in fact in recovery mode and not download...then that's your problem. Odin can't recognize a phone that's in recovery mode as far as I know.

Turn USB debugging on in developer options.
