(SOLVED) [Q] Problem on the 3 button fix

I have been using stock SGS for almost half a year now. Wanted to try rooting but discovered my phone is unable to go into recovery/download mode.
Even when trying the 3-button fix, I am unable to complete the steps. After I type in adb reboot download, it prompts the following:
*daemon not running. starting it now*
*daemon started successfully*
error: device not found
i'm not sure why i am getting the 'device not found' msg. I have turned on usb debugging and usually have no problem connecting to kies.
can anyone help me with this? am rather eager to try lagfix and darky's.

anyone?
bump..

Nevermind. Problem solved

please share how you solved it, the thread is open so it may help another person with the same issue,
And put (SOLVED) at the beginning of the title

Hi azzledazzle, thanks for the advise.
Although I had USB Debugging turned-on, I was unable to complete the 'ADB reboot download' step as it gave me a 'error:device not found' msg.
What I found out was I needed to turn off the "Stay Awake" option as well to rectify the error as I had mine on all the time as I like to plug my phone in to keep it awake and read stuff.

[Q] Phone Dead after kies restarted PC while updating then using Odin3 to "recover"

[Q] Phone Dead after kies restarted PC while updating then using Odin3 to "recover"
So my PC suddenly restarted while installing 2.2 on my phone. When I started up again it could not use its "emergency recovery". I searched for help and found a place where they had the exact same problem fixed it via "Odin3 Flasher" (google "Stock Firmware Odin3 Flasher" to get the exact guide I followed)
My phone is from Norway so I do NOT have at&t but now that i followed those instructions, all my phone does is flash on and off "at&t world phone", and I cannot get into download mode again. When I plug in the USB the at&t logo stops flashing and it goes completly black.
How can I get into download mode or fix this?

same thing happen with me today
the same thing is happened with me today when i used the ODIN3 v1.00.... Please help me...

you will need to make or purchase a usb jig : http://www.1giftbuy.com/p-10279-i9000-i9100-micro-usb-download-mode-jig-/?currency=GBP , then you will be able to use odin to flash a stock rom

Search on the forum, you can install android SDK, set usb debugging and then do an adb reboot quickly from computer after attaching the uab cable. I had the same brick problem, and I fixed it without usb jig.

Odin / Flash Questions?

Problem: Attemping to flash to eclair(stock) using Odin version/s 1.81-1.82. Have not had any luck. The phone is rooted. But running bone stock os/rom. I suspect while using an app to kill the boot/shutdown sounds may have some how corrupted this cappy enough to block it from flashing back to stock.
Question: Are there any specific sites or suggestions that would walk me through ways to flash my Captivate back to Eclair?
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!

Are you connecting the phone to a usb hob thats on the Mother board(rear one if on desktop), running ODIN as adming (if on vista or 7). You putting your phone in download mode and connecting after odin is open? Lastly you have drivers for your phone?
Edit: Mobiletechvideos usually has very good video guides.

U need to right click the Odin and run as administrator 1st, then connect ur phone in download mode to the computer. Be sure to connect the usb end of the cable to a usb port in the back of the computer or first port on laptop. Be sure that before u begin you have the correct drivers installed and then you may want to reboot your computer... then begin the Odining process.
Hope that helps.
edit: prbassplayer, I guess great minds do think alike... But you type faster.

Tried for awhile that night without success. The next morning after restarting my windows xp system it worked. All required software was installed. The pc had been restarted numerous times? Greatful for the suggestions. Still confused as to what the issue was however. Very perplexing indeed.

Galaxy Mini S5570i - problem with the installation of the drivers and connection to O

Hello!
Here I am, floating through the Samsung waters
I've stuck on one part, of course; my phone is bricked, computer reads it only half way and ODIN doesn't even show any signs of life and I have no possibility to rewrite firmware up there.
What is it all about?
I've flashed the ICS up there through stock recovery before I saw on xda that new cwm or some other new recovery should be written. First, it gives me the tpm/sideload error every time I try to install new recovery, I can't even do the factory reset, anything. I can enter the recovery normally, it's just that I can't install anything. I've tried with several roms, some of them pass through normally, but the device doesn't want to boot, and when it is turning on, it just shows samsung logo and nothing else.
When I enter the recovery, it shows me this error:
Appling Muti-CSC
E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
and when I try to install something from that recovery it shows me this:
E: error in /tpm/sideload/package.zip
I must remark that the packages I downloaded are 100% valid, the card is regularly formated.
After that, I've tried with ODIN. I enter the download mode, but my device is recognized as modem mode. I've installed the drivers, I have good cable, I've done every little thing they mention on xda. So, let's say that my device is properly installed. But it is in modem mode only when I turn on download mode.
When I turn it to recovery mode, then it recognizes this:
-samsung usb CDC composite device (that is under the USB controllers and it is normally installed.)
-CDC abstract control model (ACM)
-CDC ACM data
-CDC Obex data
-CDC object exchange
These last ones are not properly installed, but when I send it to look for it in folder where the drivers of the device are unpacked, it says they are not found.
Is there a possibility that my computer did not manage to install all the drivers, considering that I installed them after bricking, and not before?
Is there a possibility that I manage to manually force it to recognize drivers and install them?
Is there any way that I can make it to connect with ODIN and write him official GB ROM?
Please help me, I wouldn't want to take it to service!

[Q] Problem with GT-N7000

Hello!
I am a complete noobie when it comes to rooting androids/installing new roms and so on but I for the life of me cannot get my head around this and I keep running into the same problem no matter which way I try.
I attained this phone from a Chinese (and funnily enough bought the phone in China too) friend of mine after she decided to buy herself an Iphone. Before she gave it to me she factory reset it and it came to me stock:
Model Number: GT-I9220
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: N7000XXKJ6
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566
Build number: ANZHI.COM.AX918
So to start with one of the issues is that I cannot seem to get Windows to pick up my phone as a USB device no matter what I try. I've tried downloading the latest USB drivers from the Samsung Website, installing KIES to manage the device but nothing seems to work it simply will not pick it up as a USB device. I've tried multiple computers too so it would seem to me that there is something wrong with the phone, perhaps she damaged the connector port on it, it does however charge with no problems when connected via USB. This of course stops me from using ODIN or any forms of rooting that require it to be connected through USB. I've also followed the steps on the phone to tell it to connect via USB in the Wireless menu under "USB Utilities" and under the Applications menu for USB development support.
So that aside I was glad to see that there were other options for rooting/installing a new ROM but again I seem to run into issues that I can't explain.
First off, I struggle to find the correct rom for the kernel of my phone anywhere and when I did manage to find it, it was hosted on the HotFile website which has been taken down because of legal issues.
Second is, I've tried the other methods like the "ExynosAbuse" which tells me that my version doesn't need to be rooted and when I try simply installing a new rom (seeing as it seems I do not need to root my device) I keep getting the follow error:
E: failed to verify the whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
I get these errors for EVERYTHING that I try to install through rebooting my phone into recovery mode and "installing update from external SD." Currently the only method I have for getting the files across to my phone from my PC is through blue tooth and then manually moving them onto the SD card.
The above errors also happen when I try to install the "Clockwork Recovery Mod" by unzipping the file and running it whilst actually logged into the phone and telling it to do a recovery installation.
So basically I am at a loss as to how I can install a new custom rom on my phone, so far everything I have tried just doesn't work.
Perhaps I'm just too green and missing some fundamental step, but I've been reading/googling now for the last 2 days and it just doesn't look hopeful.
Anyone out there able to shed a little more light into this for me?
Thanks!

You have a Gingerbread version of recovery and it does not flash zip file from recovery as you already tried. You will need to update to ICS or above to use that method of rooting. Unfortunately the imo the only way is to get the USB port working so you can either update the rom or install a recovery using Odin unless some other member has to add.
Have you tried a different USB cable?

Yeah I've tried several different USB cables but still no luck.
So basically I'm screwed if I cannot get the USB to function?

Anyone got any ideas or can I pretty much just discard the phone if I can't get it to connect via USB?

Hate to post again but I'm sorta desperate, I need to know if there is something that I can with the phone or not.
Thanks!

When you try to connect to PC, if there is some action triggered by windows asking for driver somethingvthen it is driver problem. If there is no action from window then usb cable or port. You can also try to check in window device manager.
May want to try to clean usb port or look for a technician who can replace the port.
Btw, there seems to be a temporary cwm.zip which will flash and then it help you to flash proper kernel or rom. That cwm.zip is dangerous if you are using ics or jb rom. But GB rom should be fine. That is all I can think of.
Sent from my phone.

I don't think the temp cwm.zip will also be accepted by the GB recovery and will come as signature failed.

Thanks for the responses, I think the port is damaged so how because it just won't even respond in windows but it does however charge fine.
Anyways I'll look at getting a replacement port on it!
Thanks again!
