[Q] Semi-bricked, USB not recognized, doesn't even charge

Hi!
After searching the forums for a while I did not find a thread exactly matching my problem, so if I've overseen it, please just point me there.
To my problem:
I did a very stupid mistake, flashing a new custom ROM with a different kernel (as usual, cooked in Docs Kitchen) without converting back the lagfix. So I ended up with a non-booting phone - so far, so bad. Note to myself: Never flash a phone during the carnival weekend again.
So I booted into download mode and tried to recover it via Odin, but here I got my really bad surprise: USB device is not recognized, thus I Odin does not see the phone.
I tried 4 different PCs with Win7 or XP, a Linux desktop and a Macbook. I also tried 5 different USB cables (they all work with other smartphones like the Desire and the HD2). Wherever I stick the phone in, it is not recognized (code 10/code 43 in Win7). I used the stand-alone-drivers from the sticky forum thread here, and also most recent Kies versions, always the same: USB device not recognized.
Does anybody have an idea how to revive the USB connectivity? I'm almost at the point to send it in for repairs...
Or can someone elaborate how I could have killed USB with corrupting the ROM? I've to admit I do not really understand how these two are connected.

Hi Amokbunny
You get into download mode but the PC won't recognize the phone?
That's messy and I can think of nothing that could have done that. you did not change the bootloader did you (flashed a full samsung ROM containing a bootloader, for example VJ1)?
If not I guess it's a hardware issue.

formatted to ext4 without any backup
I did a very stupid mistake too. Got darky's rom 9.3., installed i, everything worked great(really awesome thing), then i wnt to recovry mode and entered tthe speedmod and it showed mr that my phone has rtf files system not EXT4 as it should be, thou i installed the speed mode. then i chose to repartition it to ext4 but i didn't choose the backup. Just clicked to format the sd. It did formatted to EXT4, rebooted, i saw the darky's rom logo and the the phone vibrated and the logog of the droid just flashed. I tried to enter recovery mode-didn't load. Started the download mode connexted to pc used ODIN 1.7 with PDA I9000XXJPY.tar, MODEM I9000XXJPY.tar, GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPY-LITE.tar s1_odin_20100512.pit.
The phone has started, appeared teh stok galaxy s logo and it's just flashing. Help needed. Don,t know what to do know. I have galayx s i9000 european version.

somehow i've managed to install new firmare 2.2.1 /I9000XXJPY-baseband /2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1-kernel version, but z4root isn't working. When i start permanent root the programm ends on aquiring root shell, the debug mode is on

Got it all running, installed Darky's rom 9.3. Thanks anyway.

Yep, I can boot into download and recovery modes, but that's it.
The only apparent change in the new custom ROM was the kernel.
I also cannot really access my external SD card (it shows me some phantom files, but not the actual content of the SD), otherwise I'd try to recover it this way.
I agree with the hardware issue, if it wouldn't have coincided with the flash procedure...anyway, I think I'll send it in for repairs if I don't get it to run on this sunday.

I have the exact same problem, except that I can access my external SD. I got the problem after upgrading to Darkys Rom 9.3 the usual way, but switched from Speedmod to Voodoo. After that update, my USB didn't work anymore.
I can't get neither Xp or Win 7 to recognize my phone. USB device not recognized, and tried all the tricks. Reinstalling Kies and drivers, switching between the different modes (storage, kies media, ask, debug...) But still no USB connection.
I updated to darkys 9.5 (transferring the rom using bluetooth, and updating using CWM), but still it doesn't work.
Can get it into download mode, but still can't connect using USB and Odin.
HELP!
Did anybody ever find a solution for this?
European version of I9000, bought in Denmark. No Simlock

Same thing here after installing JV1 + Ultibread Rom 1.4... Still no solution

*shameless push*
Any solution here? I dont have that problem, but it sounds too scary to not have a working solution :S

Same prob here! Any news?

Any solution? I have the same problem.

But if you are in download mode on your fone you'd rather should have a look at your configuration on the computer. Because the fone still can be flashed if the symbol for download still appears.
- Kies is shut down while ODIN is active?
- latest Samsung USB driver installed?
- Odin started with Admin?
Btw. did you try to get into recovery mode? Maybe this also still is working as the partition is quite small and chance high that it was flashed w/o faults. So you may be able to flash a zipped ROM rather than a tarball for Odin.

USB Not working when Phone plugged in... try these..
Unplug Device from PC..
Windows go to Device Manager...
Scroll down to Universal serial bus Controllers
Start with the top one and work your way down ..uninstall them all..
When done reboot Computer and let it install them all.. then try again
2.Settings --> USB Setings (under wireless & network may differ depending on Rom used) --> Try other settings Mass storage
3.Different USB ports on PC
4.Uninstall KIES from PC (reboot PC to take effect) and Reboot and just install samsung USB drivers....
5.Using windows type in msconfig in Start>Run box... windows will pop up and untick KIES from STARTUP TAB
Apply to take effect and restart machine.. try using ODIN to Flash ROM
I myself only use the Samsung USB drivers and ODIN never use KIES
or ...Check my signature and try SD formatter

[Q] Odin didn't recognize the SGS

Hi,
I'm about to Flash to 2.3.3 firmware.. but the problem is that after i put my SGS into download mode the Odin didn't recognize my SGS (ID:COM) didn't display YELLOW.., but while i'm on normal mode every time i connect to my laptop Odin always recognize it..
Please help...
Thanks

Start Odin after connecting the phone and the laptop has already 'seen' the phone.

It's recognized my phone, but once i turn it too download mode by " Volume down+Home+Power) and connect to laptop again.. it's never recognized...

Try running Kies in the background then connect and see what Odin says .
jje

Disconnect SGS USB cable... Close Odin. And update your SGS drivers!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
-> Restart PC.
-> Open Odin, put in your files
-> Connect USB cable to PC, THEN to the SGS! (First PC, then Phone)
-> Hopefully you should see Yellow COM!
PS: While in Download Mode, and when connected to PC... Windows may download/update some more drivers. Let it happen! Do not disconnect!

There are two version (*86) and (*64) which one should i choose?

Never had this problem but can suggest few things
1. uninstall kies and reinstall SGS drivers only (Google them, they are available on net)
If doesn't work
2. do a factory reset and try with Odin
3. if not, restore the phone, if you have backup on Clockwork mode recovery.
As i said, never experience this issue, so just suggesting

x86 is for 32-bit Windows, and x64 is for 64-bit Windows!
To check what you own, Right-click on "My Computer" -> Properties -> And see what's written, 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64)
Also, try uninstalling Kies, and install only the drivers posted on that link!
While running Odin, it is recommended that Kies should not be running, even as a service!

Okay, but my SGS is not yet rooted, so is there any chance the Odin didn't recognize my phone due to unrooted device??

i've got the same problem,cant upgrade to gingerbread because of it...tried everything suggested in this thread..even restored a backup i made using clockwork recovery...spent 3 weeks googling and restoring my phone reinstalling drivers e.t.c...ive given up and im stuck on froyo 2.2.1 XXJPY.

Rooted mobile or not rooted, no difference, odin shd recognize, u may try another version of odin or use update.zip or root it to install a custom rom, guessing, u might be missing some bootloaders

Windows will not connect to P7310

Happy new year all,
I have a 8.9 wifi only 32gb amazon.com version 7310.
I can’t get it to connect to my windows PCs (multiple PCs) ANYMORE…I have the drivers installed, but when I plug it in, windows will ask me for the driver and when it tries to install it I get an error (device not installed properly).
Some history:
I have the usb driver (“GT-p7510_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0-Escape.exe”) installed from the thread: “[GUIDE]Root, Bootloader Mode, ODIN, Recoveries & NANDROID Backup [7300/7310]”
Fresh off the box I hooked the tab up to my windows XP PC using the above driver and my PC recognized it. Also ODIN connected too.
I installed CWM (“Overcome_CWM_Recovery_v5.1.2.6_P73xx.zip”) from the above thread and rooted the tab using the root file (“Root.zip”) also from the above thread.
After that I couldn’t get the tab to be recognized from my PCs. But ODIN still works.
BTW, I’ve also tried Samsung Kies but it did not work (couldn’t connect to the tab).
I did a hard reset but I still have the same problem!!!
I need to be able to move files from my PC to the tablet as fast as possible. Wifi works but it is slower than usb 2.0!!!
Any help?
Thank you,

Have you tried uninstalling the drivers, restarting, then installing again? Sometimes Windows is a bit iffy. Also, the drivers from Kies are kinda different and tend to conflict (happened to me once). Another tip I'll give you: certain ROMs tend to hate having USB Debugging set to ON at Settings > Applications > Development. They just won't connect through USB while having that set to ON. I found this behavior on Android 3.1 ROMs, haven't had it in the KJ5 firmware and it's been almost two months with it. Best of lucks solving this!

issue solved by re installing the kies
Thank you for your suggestion.
Re installing kies and the latest kies update solved the issue.

newbie to GT-i9000M - can't connect to Kies

Hi to everybody!
I got used i9000M (Canadian) for my daughter (I have LG 3D so not really newbie to Android). It's in factory default state with 2.2 Android.
I tried to update system using Kies but have problem connecting my phone to PC. If I just boot phone up my Win 7 can see it (but not kies). I enable USB debug and Kies says something like "mode is not compatable". Should I untick USB debug and enabler KIES mode under Wireless?
But once I unplug it and plug back I get error 43:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
I read and read and read... I'm ready to try odin but I don't know what exact ROM fits my SG... Also lots of stuff is connected to megaupload...
Thanks for any links in advance!

There is an option on Kies to reinstall drivers. I would suggest trying that. But above all, I would advise on rooting the phone and installing a custom ICS rom, like SlimICS. It will add tons of features and make your phone faster while conserving battery life. If you want to transfer files, just plug your phone in, and enable USB Mass Storage mode and you can just drag and drop files like you do with normal flash drives.

If you want to fix code 43, you should try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571
IF you want to upgrade it by Odin , the Latest Gingerbread ROMS are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 ,choose the one for your region, all other resources that you may need can also be found at the My Android Collection link below

Thanks for reply! But here is the strange thing :
If I set USB debugging mode on the phone, my PC sees it with no problem and I see two devices in Device Manager under Portable (and they are identified as Samsung ...) But in this mode Kies doesn't connect - I get message like "unable to connect, switch phone to Kies mode ".
But once I turn debugging off, turn Kies mode on and connect the phone, my PC sees only one device and it's in USB group (in Device Manager). And now I get error 43...
So I think it's not the physical connector (otherwise I would not be able to connect at all) but rather old system - 2.2
I'll try to update it with Odin and let you guys know the result.

You should instal SAMSUNG USB Drivers for Mobile Phones from here
Also try different usb port or computer. Make sure to kill all Kies processes when you using Odin.

Thanks for help - still no luck
Guys, thanks for help! I really appreciate it!
I installed SlimICS - phone running nice. But my both computers (XP and Win7) give me errors...
Funny part is - Odin works perfectly and I can see my phone in Device Manager with no problem!
Anyway, it's not REALLY big problem, rather inconvenience.
I don't know if it matters, but I also noticed that my AC charger for LG doesn't charge i9000. Weird? Do they have different pinout?
Thanks again.

It's me again
Just for fun connected the phone to old Toshiba laptop at work with win XP, without installing any Samsung drivers and ... And Toshiba recognized phone and showed me two drives - internal and SD!!!
My home computers still giving me grief... Both systems (xp and wib7) stubbornly don't want to install drivers! They put some Microsoft driver from 2007...
I'll keep fighting (installed Kies several times, just drivers - couple versions...)

[Q] How to make Samsung Mini 2 work with Kies ?

Hello,
I have a Samsung Mini 2 s6500D on vodafone carrier. It's not rooted and has the stock android version , gingerbread 2.3.6 ! PC has win 7 x64 runnning on it.
I have been searching for answers all over the net but I've yet to find one for my phone specifically. However I did find loads of workarounds for other android phones but none have worked so far.
Basically when I plug the phone in, Kies says connecting and eventually gives the error : "Unable to connect to GT-6500D. Failed to retrieve device information" . Also, I get no message on my phone when I plug it in. The pc sees the phone and i can browse the sdcard.
Methods tested so far:
USB debugging (on or off)
USB settings (ask on connect) - no such option
wireless and network (kies instead of mass storage) - no such option
*#7284# (phoneutil) - it doesn't open that app
msxml3/6.dll method - after this one the phone version showed up instead of connecting... but I still got the error eventually
Tried both frontal and back USB drives
Lots of pc restarts, Kies reinstallations during the proccess and phone restarts as well.
Used TWLauncher and ran kies as admin.
Hope I provided enough information.
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Try updating KIES. This might help you.

Hi there,
I had exact same error. In my case, it was able to connect my phone via Kies / USB only after I inserted a SD memory card into slot.
I hope it will work for you too.

In my opinion download the latest version of KIES from samsung website. I tested it and it worked on even custom roms like STABLE CM 7.
