Im guessing kies does'nt kies reconize phone? maybe uninstall then reinstall kies which will reinstall drivers. Have you tried pulling out the battery for 10mins and then retrying?

hi tragusman
unfortunately, both kies and odin dont recognize my phone though i tried to reinstall kies .
i tried to remove the battery for hours but it didn't work also

If you can get into download mode then Heimdall will be able to detect your phone using either Windows or Linux. Heimdall works on OS X also however a fixed bootloader is required.

update:
i installed the driver on my pc from softpedia
i restarted my pc and odin can recognize my phone now
i flashed froyo rom and its not working . i will try another rom and see what will happen
i installed 2.1 rom followed by 2.2 rom and its working like a charm
problem solved
thanx

[Q] Need the rigth USB driver

Hi all,
Have a kind of brick at the moment.
Whats working:
Download mode
Recovery e3
The device is booting up, but I did the wrong battery mod for this firmware so it just vibrats and turns on and of.
The PC doesn`t recognize the device, it just sometimes shows up an unkowm device.
I have found this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=777872 and now I have some hope!
I have tried to pick the Kies Driver (16 Shrewsbury) and all the others from Kies and also the google drivers from the SDK. But none from the works.
Someone can point me to the rigth driver, plase
Fortunately I still have my G1
Sorry for my English.
If you have a black screen after booting then try resetting back to factory settings in recovery mode.
Thank you,
I wiped al i could in recovery e3.
The device is booting up, sound is coming, I see even the SGS logo, after No package was found that provides the FACTORY TESTKEYS
I guess it´s becaus I aplyed the wrong battery Mod for my firmware
If your phone can go in download mode try to reflash a rom with odin
I allways extract the latest kies install file to hdd and pick the latest drivers setup package out of it. I NEVER installed kies just to get some drivers

[Q] Would you tell me my I9000 dead not just dying....

Thanks in advance for any response!
The followings are my phone's symthoms:
1. My phone WAS FANTASTIC until I updated new Darky extreme version 9.2 (upgrade from 9.0)
2. I degraded it to the stock rom with Ryan's OLFG -> Working very well...
3. Until the phone was restarted. The phone was still working however
4. IT BECAME FREEZING. I couldnt scroll, couldnt touch the screen, or the phone response was like 5 mins later for each touch.
5. I followed instructions on the internet to flash with stock rom (JM8) and upgraded it to JPO, and the result is
6. THE PHONE COULDNT BE BOOTED at the Galaxy logo.
7. I tried to flash the phone over and over with different stock roms using ODIN 1.3 (with well understanding about repartition and PIT)
8. NOW, my phone is still able to access the download mode, but my PC CANNT SEE THE PHONE DRIVER ANYMORE(tested on 3 other laptops with the same result)
9. Reinstall USB drivers like 20 times, the results have been the same.
TO me this should be a phone death. Im gonna purchase the new Galaxy S 2
HOWEVER, If there is anyway to revive my phone back to normal (Cuz I wanna get some important data in the internal card), I will not only send a big gratitude but some DONATE as well.
Thanks.
so you put the phone in download mode first... then you attach the USB ???
Does anything happen when your in Odin ?? does it not say connected or anything ??
and have you tried doing a factory reset in recovery mode ??
aslong as your phone can go into download mode there is still hope so dont give up on it just yet
U obv have samsung kies right?. Go on processes on ur pc ctrl alt del n kill the kiestrayagent process

Surely I killed KS before doing ODIN. The PC(s) said it was Unknown device.
My phone was on when android 2.1 installed (but freezing, not just lagging .... completely freezing on the home screen) and would not boot if i installed 2.2
Sigh....
Thanks for your replies
The PC(s) said it was Unknown device.
Thats generally a USB /driver/windows problem .
You installed deadlys rom and it should still be recoverable even from that .
Is your phone picked up via Kies phone/Odin will need Kies installed .
I would have flashed back to a clean copy of Eclair first off to get the phone working .
jje
Both Kies and Odin could not see my phone... I killed Kies process before doing Odin, but the result was still a sadness.

Brick or what?

Hi guys,
In my hands come SGS which cant boot up, same trouble like in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsGuKUv_s2s&feature=related
but my SGS bootloopin´ this.I have instaled Kies, and shut down Kies and Kies tray agent(Only for Driver to ODIN).But it didnt work, so i have linstaled another drivers, and nothing new.Phone boot up to download mode without problems, but cant boot up to recovery.I have to try tutorial with download mode(Like with JIG) without JIG and didnt work.So what must i do to save the phone?Thanks for all answers.
Not really clear but if you can get into download mode and Odin recognizes phone then flash new firmware. But I suspect you are saying Odin isn't detecting the device.

Buy usb jig on ebay, put it in downlaod mode and reflash some stock kernel. It should do the trick.

if you were flashing an ics based rom you need nexus s driver's on the PC for Odin to see your phone as the stock Samsung one is no use now.

I`m in trouble
Hi guys.
I can`t make my windows 7 recognize the SGS...I`ve already tried the USB_samsung drivers, even for Nexus...but the error 43 always appears.
I can turn on the phone in CWM but anything can be done, always data problems...so I only can put it on Download Mode, but I can`t download anything, the Odin doesn`t have a Comm Port communication.
I was restoring for Factory Default when it happens...I was using the MyUltimate 1.3...after I flashed the ICS RC 4.2...and now anything works.
Sorry about my English...I`m Brazilian.
I really appreciate any kind of help.
picture of my problem
I forgot to post a picture of the CWM messages...it`s attached...thanks a lot

Galaxy S stuck in CWM bootloop! HELP!

Hey guys, I'm really in a bad spot here.
So I installed CM10 on a GT-i9000, worked fine except for the hardware buttons not working. So from there, I decided to install SlimBean (A foolish mistake that I thought was foolproof). And boom, now I am here, stuck in a CWM bootloop, and I've tried factory resetting and all, still boots the same.
I've tried installing other roms, sometimes it reboots during installation and doesn't complete, and even if it does complete, same problem, it boots into CWM. And I've noticed a new Samsung AnyCall Boot logo every since I tried SlimBean.
I've tried updating the kernel, no luck. I bought a download mode jig, but windows does not detect the Galaxy S in download mode with Kies installed. (I think I disabled USB Debugging in CM10)
Any suggestions? This is really stressing me out. I'm prepared to use odin, but download mode is not recognized on my PC.

You will hadware buttons failure when you flash a i9000 ROM on an Anycall M110S ( Korean Galaxy S) , so I am curious are you sure your phone is not an Anycall M110S? since you also getting Anycall boot screen...sounds odd, that i9000 will do that.
For USB connection problems , just try link on Quick Fixes and Solutions link below

Go back your original firmware...
Any updates to this?
I am having a similar situation. I tried flashing ICS ROM to my Anycall Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000. It is now stuck in recovery mode. I tried doing factory reset and wiping the cache and dalvik cache and tried reflashing. Everything goes fine but gets stuck in the recovery mode - more correctly in download mode but the download mode logo flashes twices and enters to recovery mode.
Any possible solutions to get me out of this mess?
Thanks,
Sid
your problem will be solved with this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24831012&postcount=1330
Edit : above url is for S+ your device is S , sorry .
Thanks, but anything similar for Galaxy S? And remember my download mode does not stay, if flashes twice and runs into recovery mode. So if your solution is something to do in recovery mode it will be helpful (or if your solution is to first make me stay on download mode and then flash something using odin I will be thankful)
Regards,
Sid

Check your Model, Anycal does not make GT I9000, it makes only M110S and firmwares / solutions for them vary.
If you have Anycal M110S visit PIT STOP link below to solve your problems
Check Here to chose your forum/Guide by Version of your phone or you will have more problems by using wrong solutions due to different versions of Galaxy S
you can get a rescue kit from My Android Collections and or a solution from My Android Solutions
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....Do remember to backup your contacts, data, images etc and also your EFS folder before flashing a ROM and make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.

Glad that worked for you, but I for some reason can't be so lucky. I tried to also flash CWM 10 but after the home key not working I decided to flash Slim Bean and now I am stuck. My phone isn't even recognized by Odin any more and I have tried different USB ports and even my laptop with Heimdall. I don't know what to do at this point, but any kind of suggestions would be great. Usually when I get stuck I just flash back to Stock and start all over with a new ROM or kernel but I have no idea where to go from this point.

Did you try flashing stock rom via Odin?
I can't get recovery mode, But i can get downloading mode, when i conect the phone to pc it doesn't recognize my phone. Drivers are properly instaled, cable usb is ok. I have tried with windows vista, windows7, windows10, and a few versions of odin, nothing work. Odin doesn't recognize and if i conect the phone in off, it shows the battery static (like empty and no moving in charge).
I had installed aryamod rom, the problem start when i did a fabric restore from setting menu. Do i kill my phone?
