Recovery mode (3button) wont connect to kies - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Hope you can help me out here. I can get into the 3button recovery mode but kies doesnt seem to find my phone. So it cant complete the recovery...
Im running on vista fully updated 64 bit. Downloaded the x64 usb drivers posted somewhere on the XDA forum. Worked before but now nothing...
ps I had to use recovery since my phone got disconnected during an update and didnt complete the process....
Tried installing the newest kies version, an older one, in combination with both the 32 and 64 bit drivers. But so far nothing.
Please help, been at it all night.
Cheers!

Help...ODIN won't recognize phone in download mode

I have drivers installed, I've used Odin before but now it won't recognize the phone in download mode. It'll see it when it is on though. Any help??? This happened after updating to 2.3.3 through Kies.
Just noticed that the PC doesn't recognize the phone either now. Must be drivers issue. How do I fix it???

In Kies, there are Kies Driver installer, that install a bunch of drivers for phone.
Try to install all drivers and then connect phone again.

do you have the kies drivers installed? and is kies not running (inc. shut down tray agent?
try another usb port, that was a problem I had, Odin is picky with good or bad usb ports...

So i tried this, but it doesnt help. I still have in device manager something wrong.
When I'm trying Update Driver Software, windows cant found right driver...
Is it possible, that I something f*ct up at last flash? Before it everything works fine. When I flashed first time, i forgot the *.pit file - odin wrote "failed" - I tried it again, but correctly - everything was ok - I fashed kernel - after that in CMW I Instaled *.zip file with Juwe's ROM 4.3.1 and my phone reboot in landscape mode... and i cant change it to normal mode.
I tried factory reset from phone - there are some red lines with this: tsf format failed on dev/block/mmcblk0p2, but when i go to CWM mode through (volUP+home button+on/of button) and i did a factory reset there - is it without red lines. Somebody ask me if i tried reflash - so i am here with my "driver problem"

Noooooo, not reinstall that bloath ware, just the NEW drivers!

lol ok then just drivers then
I know this may sound dumb, but make sure you are using a compatible cable.. i.e. does data transfer, I bough a replacment cable months ago for my damaged one under the impression it did data because I could connect and transfer to USB (I know this is data)... but kies would not recognize the phone.. I ended up buying a real replacement. Problem solved.
I think, that my biggest problem is cannot connect to kies and odin...
i am in the end... so cabel is the same, i used it when i flashed befor - as i said my problem is in phone, not in drivers or cabels. Is here something to do flash without this drivers?
can you confirm there is no issue with your USB ports on your computer? just seems odd it wont recognize your phone in download mode... you are placing it in download mode when using odin right?
I just did a flash with mine to a stock rom,
Same problem, I can get to DL mode, but it does not recognize,
When I am in the standard Tab OS, with USB as mass storage, I can see if fine.
Odd how it just happened as well. I'd like to follow this thread see where it goes.
*edit reinstalling drivers does not resolve the issue,
- have not tried installing keis again yet though,
- also Odin recognizes it in Recovery Mode
*edit again - sorry guys, didnt realize i was in the i9000 forum, hit this on a google search and replied
I can go to the download mode throught 3-buttons combo - but odin recognize my phone - the same thing is in kies - it's vicious circle - i hope flash help me - but I cant do it, because i cant connect to odin
Unfortunatly I am out of help... I thin kyou may need someone who knows ADB and the phones system internals if ODIn won't recognize your phone in Donload mode... I have had my phone in several bad situations(Fried internalsd/bootloaders) but download mode would always connect me to ODIN..
Last try, try different versions of odin, 1.3 - 1.8 apparently it can be testy with different versions of windows.
Try the drivers & Odin 1.83 from my signature. Works all the time.

[Q] Cappy boot-loop brick.. used jig, now not seen by odin

Hey all:
So i tried flashing back to 2.1 yesterday on my i897 Cappy so that I could root the phone. Got the boot-loop of the flashing charging/ or if not plugged in the rebooting AT&T world phone screen.
I build a jig and got to the download screen, but Odin and cmd "adb devices" cannot find my phone.
I have the samsung drivers installed and all, and cant figure out how my computer can see my phone when its only in DL mode.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
follow up
A little bit more info:
I've tried with 2 computers now with the drivers and odin-oneclick to see if the device would be recognized, but so far nothing. I've also tried everything else under the sun i've seen on different posts/forums, but nothing works (ex. pulling battery and re-doing the jig-2-download mode, re-installing drivers, etc)
If anyone has any clue please help thanks
Plug into a port on the back of computer (#1 on a laptop). Reboot the computer. Open Odin before plugging in phone. If on a win 7 or vista machine, run Odin as administrator. Download Kies (full version, not mini) and go into tools to install those drivers. Make sure you have a good cable. That's every suggestion I have. Hope one helps.
going to give it a wack now
flashed back to 2.1 successfully... thanks for the help.. odin run as admin, but could not be one-click... that was my problem..
One click will not see the device if it is boot-looped, but if you download full odin it sees it.
Also, dont know if this was a fix/problem, but the sim card had to be removed.
Thanks for the help!

[Q] no cwm recovery , Odin not finding device after ics rom flash fail

Hi all , i hope someone can help : i was installing team hacksungs ics rom last night it seemed to be going ok at first but then got stuck at the animated splash screen (1 hr 45 mins) i pulled the battery and when i tryed to get into cwm recovery the phone keeps just bootlooping after showing google logo , i can get into download mode but neither odin or heimdall can find my phone and windows reports unrecognised usb device,heimdall reports- ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12. I have unbranded i9000. All drivers present and usb cable(s) checked and are ok....thanks in advance for any help
I have the exact problem and situation
Is the phone bricked for good?
You might need the drivers listed in the TH ICS thread. Before changing the drivers try plugging your phone into a different USB port
You might want to try a different computer, the libusb errors are common and are usually solved by using a different computer (I have seen those errors while flashing IPhones, they were resolved after reformatting or using another computer[I'm not saying that that is the only way of dealing with libusb issues, I just didnt bother with em after I found out that a fresh start/system fixes em]). Also, if you are into linux, try a linux distro on your computer and see if Heimdall works from there.
Good Luck
guys i have had the same problem on this phone. To be honest I am not sure I wanna stay on ics anymore alone because of this issue. Nothing wrong the phone is great but the driver problem is flat out pathetic when **** hits the fan.
Here is how I solved my problem. I installed and uninstalled and restarted my PC so many many times. Stuck my USB cable into multiple ports. If that didn't solve my problem i Installed and uninstalled the Samsung drivers (without kies).
Played around with device manager when it said the phone is not recognized by uninstalling and removing phone from USB cable and replugging . I installed the android sdk USB drivers and tried upgrading the not properly installed drivers with them (which I think hasnt helped much to be honest) .
All in all what I am trying to say is......that I was so ambitious trying to get it to run that at the end i got it to work after many many tries. With many tries I mean I was trying this repetitive process from 3 am to 7:30 am and it DID NOT WORK. I went to bed. Next day I tried fixing it using repeating the whole process from 5 pm up to around 830 pm.
I dunno how I got it to run at the end. All I know is the time I invested trying to get it to run were nearly 10hours of repetitive installing and uninstalling. Sadly that is the only tip I can give you. It seems to me as though it just randomly feels like working out of its ass.
I even brushed the USB port of my phone with alcohol and a brush. As mentioned above trying another PC is worth a try. I tried my sister's laptop without success though and even formatted my desktop for the sake of it.
The last thing I recall doing before getting this phone to get recognized on my PC was as follows: I charged it for an hour and then booted the phone in download mode and decided to try it again. And bam it worked.
But do give this method a try.
1. Plug phone to PC
2. Uninstall your device(exclamation mark) via device manager and then unplug your phone
3. Uninstall sgs drivers
4. Reboot PC
5. Install sgs drivers
6. Plug phone in download mode in again
7. If you get error, device not installed properly then open device manager and uninstall the exclamation mark again
8. Unplug phone once uninstalled.
9. plug it in again
Also guys, just out of curiosity what is your OS and is it 32 or 64 bit?
Good luck
P.s: I know this post isn't helping specifically but I believe the only solution is playing around with the drivers and device manager until it decides to work. I might install another rom (Ive only experienced this with ics so far. And this seems to be a common issue apparently. Does this happen to people on 2.3.x as well ?) tomorrow cause this issue is too time consuming should it occur again. Only had it with nushor kernel though.

Hi vytman , install the drivers from here : w w w.multiupload.com/BUCFT8M42N
the drivers allow your comp to recognise your device(which is now nexus after ics install) then you can reflash stock samsung firmware in odin .
u can't get into recovery at all?

I was unable to download the file...i am having the exact same problems and your solution seems logical. i tried going online and just searching for a nexus driver but that didnt seem to work. I think it might have been an old version of the driver. Is there a way for me to get this driver?

[Q] Stuck in a bootloop win not recognize

Hi guys,
Few days ago my i9000 crashed in a morning and sens then iam stuck ian a boot loop.
I know that i need to reflash rom thru odin my problem is the drivers, i tried few drivers that i found in the forum, sdk-from the cm9 post, kies and some more.
No one of these drivers can be recognized by my win 7 32 bit.
After that i took friend PC's and try on each pc different driver, nothing.
I'am dont know what can i do more then, thing i try everything.
I used I9000 with cm9 build 15.
If some one can help me to slove this problem , I was thenkfull.
p/s Sorry for my bad english
can you get into 3BR or download mode?
I can get into download mode
See if you are able to find a copy of this app "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones" download and install on the comuter that you will be using
Allow the app to completely run as it does take a while to install if the computer is a bit slow.
Then try odin
Also make sue that Kies is not runnning a background process (use task manager)
If you are unable to locate the app PM me and i will upload as soon as i get a chance
Did that few times in a few different pc. win7 and xp.
Nothing.
sorry out of ideas
Maybe the USB jig??
Nope
Thank you anyway. I'll keep trying solving.
Have you plugged your phone to PC before? If no that why it couldn't recognize. If yes go to buy a new phone ). Just kidding, I don't know why it was like that. Did you try another USB wire?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
On my PC i pluged before , but on other pc's i'v install the drivers before plug him.
Also try another USB wire , cable ...
For sure i know that its problem came frome the win , cuz the phone is in dm he never get breake so i dont need to use the jig even.
CM9 = Galaxy Nexus Drivers
I had cm9 + sdk but i needed die drivers via Setup.exe

Need to flash Ativ S missing drivers?

Hi all.
I started experiencing weird problems with my Ativ S, so I thought I do a hard reset and start clean. I got stuck to a known issue with the Ativ and GDR3, where after hard reset the apps wont instal from the store. The only solution I saw was to flash the device. I have the GDR2 rom so I thought no problem, however I cant get the drivers to instal on the download mode so I could start the flash process.
I have tried to instal 2 different drivers: SamsungUSBDriver.msi and I8750_Qualcomm_USB_composite_driver_HK11-VB717-38.zip Neither of these (that I found, if they are the correct packages) have worked so that the Ativ is recognized correctly in the download mode and I could start flash. When Ativ is connected in the download mode, its only seen as USB DOWNLOADER with exclamation point at device manager.
Im running 64bit Windows 8.1 Pro system.
Any suggestions are welcomed! Thanks!
And installing SamsungUSBDriver.msi results in an error pictured here. Although next time trying to instal the driver is present as it gives an repair option.
Ok so I found this, probably somthing that could be expected: 2. Install Driver on your PC (i had problems with win 8.1 X64, win7 X64 installation fine)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391138
So I would need a Win7 system, no idea where I would have one... Other suggestions for this?
Ok problem solved by installing Windows 7 to a empty drive just for this flashing. Luckily I didnt have to instal any updates, just the os and the usb driver.
