Hello all, I am turning to the Forums since I have spent 5 hours trying to resolve my problem.
Earlier today I installed Kies Mini on my computer in anticipation of the official AT&T Froyo. However, now my computer no longer recognizes my phone at all. It does not show up in the Device Manager, or anywhere.
I tried Uninstalling Kies Mini, Uninstalling the Drivers, Rebooting my phone. etc, etc. But Windows still will not recognize the phone as attached. It worked in the past and I would like for it to work again.
I am currently running Windows 7 64 bit. My Captivate is running Cog 3.4.
Try this:
Uninstall Kies Mini and all Drivers
Reinstall Kies Mini
Once installed turn on USB debugging on your phone and then plug it in, let it install all of the drivers.
Unplug your phone and shut it down
Once shut down activate download mode (hold up and down volume and plug in the USB) again it will install more drivers.
Once this is done unplug your phone, remove the battery and turn it back on, then restart your computer.
Uninstalled Kies Mini, and Samsung Drivers. Reboot
Installed Kies Mini.
Attached Phone to Computer. Nothing.
Also, Tried to Just boot my phone into Recovery Mode. But only boots into Clockwork Recovery. Can't Log into Stock Recovery
Update: Tried hooking up the phone to my XP machine. No Joy. XP did not recognize the device or try to install drivers.
Did you enable debugging?

Yes, I placed it in Debug mode. When I plug in my Phone my Title Bar Shows the USB Debugging Android indicating that USB Debugging connected, the USB icon that says Copy files to From Computer. If I click on USB, it gives me the Green Connect Android, then the Orange One. But none of my computers recognize a USB device as connected.
I have tried it with Three different cables. I'm thinking that somehow the phone is not sending some message to Windows saying "Hey, I'm connected"
Did you use the correct drivers for the phone? Can't recall of the top of my head if I can use the standard captivate drivers for windows if your on cognition..

I am having this exact same issue - only I updated from JH7 to Official 2.2 (for ****s n giggles) and now pc no longer recognizes phone. Went through the uninstall and reinstall and reboot.... no luck. I've never had this issue before...... ever.
I have tried almost everything i can think of. Anyone have any suggestions?

Not in device manager
I have what appears to be a soft brick. I was running the i9000 drivers. I was trying to install the i897. At first Odin recognized my phone and I began to download. The Odin bootloader flash failed. No my computer (Win 7 64 bit) does not even see my phone. Nothing in device manager, not even an unrecognized device.
I can get my phone into download mode. Does anyone have an idea how I can get windows to see me again?
From my experience as long as you are in download mode and have odin opened up it when you connect it, odin should find the phone no problem for you to be able to flash something new to it.

Have you rebooted the PC? Try to reinstall the drivers again. I had to reinstall the nexus s drivers but I have read some need to reinstall kies to get the drivers to work. Just keep at it. Try other USB ports. My phone wouldn't be recognized for about two weeks with trying everything. I tried new USB cables, drivers and all. Then finally it kind of worked and I went from download mode with a jig to phone!PC and then it took another reboot of the laptop and phone was able to get flashed again via the phone!PC screen. Just keep trying is all I can say.

Try uninstall again.
Dl usb drivers but dont install. Save them to desktop
Plug in phone
Unknown device pops up, click on message. Click install custom drivers, navigate to where you saved uninstalled drivers are. Select
This has worked for some
CM7
Ok I uninstalled any versions of the drivers, when I plugged in my phone, the computer said unknown device as usual but it is automatically installing an "unknown device" driver. When I went to select the driver manually for it, it told me that there was no need to update and it didn't give me another option.
I should probably mention that originally, the computer recognized my internal sdcard when i mounted it. Now it isn't, and it won't recognize it in any mode.

what rom are you using now? does the driver you installed came from the stock eclair or froyo. I get the same message after flashing from stock to custom roms. I just plug my phone again and the pc automatically searches and installs driver from gt i900 driver. My old PC is running win xp with android sdk manager in it aside from the kies mini it has which already has the samsung drivers which supports stock roms.
definitely wrong drivers...If your computer recognize it in normal mode as in to mount internal sd card, but says unknown device in download mode than try to download USB drivers from somewhere else...
I have noticed this that drivers from samsung website doesnt support the download mode...I have faced this problem...mine would ask for gadget serial..so i use this drivers...http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
Hope this helps
I'm running perception 10.4. I've tried several different download sources, and it doesn't read when I mount the sd card anymore. On my windows 7 computer it worked no matter what rom I had, and I didn't have to change drivers at all. I'll try that link and see what happens
Still won't work...
This happens to me all the time when attempting to flash back to stock. What I do is just keep doing battery pulls and switching usb ports. Eventually, it works!

lol How long will that usually take until it works..
I've tried pulling the battery and switching ports at least 15 times.. nothing happens. windows installs an "unknown driver" automatically, and if I choose the galaxy s drivers for it, it says the driver isn't compatible for my device. It's not even recognizing it's a phone, or a mass storage device, or any other usb device it can be.
Unknown Device
Was this ever resolved? I have the same problem. Unknown Device in Download Mode. ADB works, PC recognizes phone in normal mode.
The phone shows up in Device Manager when in normal mode. If I use ADB to reboot download, the PC immediately drops the phone and displays unknown device in device manager.
Have tried complete uninstall/reinstall of drivers including regedit. NO JOY.
Running XP SP3. Any ideas?
after upgrading to gingerbread my pc thinks it is an i9000.
try those drivers.
i have no issues though.
Hello
I have Froyo 2.2 I9000JXJPB
I used to be able to connect to PC but not any more. Im using Windows 7 64
I even tried and restored my laptop for factory condition and wiped out my galaxy.
Sometime when I connect the phone with the usb cable and PC would say unrecognized peripheral device and most of the times nothing happenes
it does not help if USB debug is checked or not
I even tried different usb ports in the laptop but nothing work
its driving me crazy
need help please
ok, put the phone in download mode and then connect it, try a USB port that connects direct to the motherboard, usually at the back of the tower.
also if that fails, try to uninstall kies and then re install it, that will re install the drivers.
then post back with the result.
EDIT: just realised your on a laptop not pc

Download and install these on your pc/laptop , your problem will be fixed

Before postig my question I tired uninstalling and reinstalling kies. also tried driver reinstall option from kies
I downloaded the driver separately tried installing several times but it did not help...
Installation always endup with a message Device driver was not successfully installed
Unknown device device unplugged
Unindentified device device unplugged
If i recall correctly my problems maybe was with the last update with kies
if you go into computer > device manager and then select on the 'unidentified driver' you can select uninstall.
then start the process again, and also try installing it for the 2nd time with a different port.
Hi, looking for some help with a soft-bricked SGS i9000.
It is bricked to the point that it only shows the 'Phone--!--Computer' when switched on, or when attempting to access Recovery Mode.
I can access Download mode absolutely fine, but Windows refuses to recognise the device when it is plugged in, therefore it doesn't show up in Odin, therefore I can't flash a new ROM.
Is there anything I can try to get Windows/Odin recognising it?
(Someone on another thread suggested just unplugging and replugging the phone until Windows recognises it - should I give this a try?)
Thanks.
I assume you have tried reinstalling the drivers?
Yeah, I've removed the device from device manager, reinstalled the drivers and re-plugged it.
Then I've tried updating the drivers via Device Manager - the message I get is that the best drivers are already installed.

Uninstall whatever drivers you have installed at the moment and read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...an always uninstall and install Samsung Kies.
try a different usb port, sometimes you can actually fool windows with that, i have had the same a couple of times, rebooting your pc or using a other pc sometimes works...
can you enter to download mode? It should be recognised by odin. If not you need an usb jig.
I had the same thing, so i looked around and someonle suggested installinog nexus S drivers and Odin recognizes your phone!!
It really works.
Nexus S Driver Link: androiddrivers.net/samsung-android-drivers/download-nexus-s-drivers/
>>can't post links yet
So installed the dual boot recovery. I have it on my phone along with superuser and now my computer wont recognize the phone. Sorry to post so many threads but i need to get post amount up to 10. This locked bootlaoder stuff is weird going from clockwork mod on my g1, g2x. Thanks for all help.

installing a recovery shouldn't stop the computer from recognising the device, where to is it being failed to recognise? flashtool? usb storage? have you tried removing the drivers from device manager and reinstalling them? have you tried a different usb cable? different usb port?
So the phone is never recognized if I just plug the phone into the computer. No charging light, doesn't show up on computer. Tried 3 different cables and many usb ports that i know work. I have windows 8 so It almost always auto detects hardware and auto installs drivers. I deleted it from hardware and printers and downloaded the sony zperia z driver for windows 8 and it s a zip file. I tried extracting it and it only opens up as a bunch of random files. NO application. I have only installed the XZ dual boot recovery and root with restore v33. It only charges sometimes if I plug it in and reboot it. But it still doesn't show up as a device on my computer.
So when i plug in the phone and reboot it charges the phone and says usb debugging but my computer doesn't show the phone.
I also have ubuntu imstalled on my computer (dual boot) and it doesn't reconize the device in ubunutu either. And when trying to use any of the flash tools it says device not found or connect device.
