Here is the exact details on what happened in the order I remember them
1. Was using the latest Cognition Rom and decided to try something different
2. Used Odin to flash back to stock
3. Flash Axura CE Version 4
4. Decided I liked Cognition better (Not bashing Axura, great Rom but not for me)
5. Went to try Odin and USB connection was not recognized
6. Knew USB connection worked under Cognition so tried to use Clockwork to restore to it.
7. After restore I got numerous FC and shut down.
8. After shut down phone would not boot but stuck on the i9000 Axura loading screen.
9. Now the problem I have is that I can get to recovery mode with no problem but USB is not recognizing connection, tried to get CW to mount USB so I could put the zip version of stock ROM on it but it will not mount. Also tried uninstalling samsung drivers and reinstalling with no luck

Any Help greatly appreciated

Is download mode still available? If yes your not screwed but your drivers might be.
What steps do you use to get into download mode.... 3 buttons or usb/vol+- combo ?
Yes download mode is available. I used the holding the volume up and down and plugging in USB. It goes to download mode with no issues whatsoever.
Well then this is a non-issue issue... Possibly a bad flash... Go in download mode again and reflash.
Your a bit crying wolf with no reason here. As long as download mode works and Odin detects the phone you have no issue
Use the Odin-one click if you have to ...but really calling it a brick when you have download mode gee-wiz.
Thats the issue. It is not detecting in ODIN. If it was detected I would have reflashed with no problem. I get the message that the USB device has malfunctioned and is not recognized
Try re-downloading the USB drivers - use the ones found in my signature.
If you can get into recovery - you can then get back into CWM and attempt to re-flash again - but you'd still need to 1-click back to stock using ODIN.
Have you tried to plug the usb cable in the Mb directly or changing its port ?
I actually downloaded your drivers last night and installed them. Still not recognized. I can get to CWR and have the zip files for AXURA and Cognition on the SD card. Get errors on various lines when trying to install either. I have tried 3 different cables and 4 different computers with no luck on recognition
Well crap... I did have the USB issue on my work's XP Machine - but when I went home to my Windows 7 box - it ended up finding the phone fine and I was able to flash back to stock.
Any chance you can find a Windows 7 box?
Dont know anyone with one unfortunately. I need to install Win 7 through bootcamp on my mac. I tried to even get it to mount as storage through CWR on it with no success
Well.. I can say with 99% certainty you should be able to restore the phone.. also if you look at my sig - I just added a link to the OTA_JH7.zip that is CWM flashable if you could somehow get the zip onto your phone that is lol.
Hm.. and I dunno how the virtual box of Win7 will run - but it's worth a shot. Windows 7 seems to be superior when it comes to figuring out devices vs. XP. I was shocked when it found my then toasted phone (similar issue your currently experiencing).
Haha, I have your zip to as a matter of fact. I picked it up but I dont know how to get it put on the phone if it wont recognize usb. If CW usb mounting would have working I was gonna put it on the internal sd and let it flash it
and actually bootcamp isnt a virtual box. its a partition on your hd where you can install windows on a mac computer

Duh.. been awhile since I've used MAC - you are quite correct
ok, on the flashing back either rom I get a error on line 10 trying to reflash AXURA and a error on line 12 with Cognition
Hmm. have you tried to do the factory reset from within CWM? I mean at this point.. can't lose anything by trying it.
Yeah, just did the wipe/factory reset through CWR. Still sticking on the same screen
Try this.
-Unplug the phone
-Uninstall all the current Samsung drivers you have, reboot
-Install this one, reboot
-Put the phone in download mode
-Plug the phone
Does windows install the drivers? If not continu
-Open Windows Device Manager and do a plug&play search
-If you have a ? device select it
-Right click/Update Drivers
-Select automatic...... if windows finds nothing return and select Manual.
-Choose the "Samsung ADB composite device" driver and install
Is the install successful ?
-Now unplug the usb cable
-Open Odin
-Plug the usb cable
Does Odin now see the phone ?

Why would you brick a working phone based on a driver issue ?!
That's like blowing your car engine cause you can't communicate with onboard electronics........ unreal
My I9000 is stuck on the boot screen, after trying to install EZbase (was stock eclair). Odin/heimdall don't see the phone in download mode. I CAN get into recovery mode.. i have Clockwokmod recovery 2.5.1.0 speedmod ULFK on there. I have tried a factory reset, but this didn't help.
So what do i do here?
I am under the impression i need to flash with an update.zip; but i don't have a clue what should be my update.zip.
Sorry if this has been asked many times, but i searched and have read many threads and got nowhere.
ok well download the android SDK tools and isntall all the USB drivers. Unplug your USB cable and change the port from the one you are using, boot your phone into download mode, once in download mode fire up ODIN v 1.7 and plug your phone in, it should find it in odin, once you can see it in odin you should be able to continue flashing EZbase and then onto Cyanogen if that is what you were trying to do
Once you get odin to recognize your phone in download mode you need to flash a Kernel/Rom

since you were trying to do that try the link above
Thanks for the quick response!

do you mean Android SDK Starter Package? Or?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
This is what i downloaded; what do i do now? Do i have to run SDK Manager.exe and install java (i would like to avoid this, if i can)??
Thanks for your help.
ya unfortunately you have to install java. so maybe your phone isn't being recognized because your doing it in the wrong order....try this before you install anything, unplug the phone, boot into download mode, fire up odin then plug the phone in. you should see it on some com port on the top left
Ok; Java installed, ran SDK Manager and added Google USB Driver for Windows, Revision 4. [ as developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html ], which is in \android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver
The directions provided by google (url above) suggest plugging the phone in first. This installed the samsung drivers automatically, however.
Odin3 1.7 now showed a port; but the flash stalled at 'SetupConnection..'
I tried using 'update driver' via Device Manager, but all that i see is;
Modems -> SAMSUNG Mobile Modem
Universal Serial Bus controllers -> SAMSUNG USB Composite Device
Neither would update with the drivers in \android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver
[Also, Yes, I am opening odin and booting in download mode before connecting the USB cable]
Ok try flashing just a kernel go to the Dev section and find a kernel from hardcore it is called speedmod kernel. That should flash in 20 seconds or so. Flash the froyo one he has one for gingerbread so don't use that one they are separate threads so its easy to tell which is which
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
..now if i try to turn the phone on it shows a phone and a PC with a /!\ warning symbol between them, and i can't boot in to recovery mode. I CAN boot into download mode, and the PC makes a noise to acknowledge something has been connected, but Odin doesn't see it.
EDIT: I reinstalled Keis, and selected 'install drivers' on the menu from within the app.. this meant Odin was able to see the phone and i have sucessfully (apparently) updated the kernel to speedmod froyo. The phone is back to the 'Galaxy S' screen again. Now what? How long should the phone take to boot if it is sucessful (ie. how long should i wait before restarting?)
EDIT 2: Ahh, EZbase flash worked too! .. thank F, a working phone!
So i guess the key was to get the drivers (again) from the submenu in the Keis App NOT the android SDK.
Glad it worked out, sorry it took so long to reply, ya after you get a kernel on there then you need to flash a rom again, which is exactly what you did later
So I was flashing a stock rom from Odin, and Odin froze, so I unplugged the phone and took out the battery. Now, when I try to get into download mode, all I get is a screen with a phone-!-computer. Even with a usb jig, it just goes to this screen. My captivate is also not recognized by the computer when I plug it in when its on the phone-!-computer screen.

Yea more or less. The weird thing is it was detected before and odin was able to start the flash. But it hung after it said do not disconnect the device so I was forced to unplug it. Now I just don't see anything at all.

But I don't see the Libusb tab in device manager when I plug my phone in.
When u initially installed the drivers for Heimdall, they only installed to the usb port that u were connected to. So u need to be plugged into that specific port and then u should see it in the Device Manager.
And u really don't need to uninstall the drivers that u need for Heimdall, as long as u installed them after u installed the drivers from Kies. See this post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19998299&postcount=115

Yep I made a jig and it works but it doesn't go to the downloading screen with the shovel instead it just goes to the screen with the phone exclamation computer.
Then try this...may sound odd but anyway--just pull ur battery and leave it out for 5 minutes or so and then put it back in and try getting back into download mode and see what happens.
Btw, which stock odin were u trying that got u in this mess ?

happened to my cappy yesterday. went through 7 hours to fix mine. had the same issue as yours. no download mode showing with any combo I try even recovery had 4 micro usb cables and still my pc is choosy. that screen is actually download mode. you just need the proper drivers for the pc to read it. I used the one from heimdall. tried for atleast 100x before my pc recognizes my cappy as gadget serial and then boom! after installing,uninstalling and reinstalling all is A-ok now. just try it and have faith on your cappy

What did you try before it was recognized? Did you just plug and replug the usb into the computer until it worked?
Mine did this before, when I accidently forgot to convert back to RFS before flashing back to stock, and I thought I was totally screwed. After this screen comes up the first time it will not go away, even if a download jig is used, until you get a good flash.
Try this:
Open your Odin, and have it ready with whatever you were trying to flash to begin with. Pull the battery on your phone, put your download jig in, and now put your battery in. It will still be the error screen that comes up. Pull your jig, and now plug your phone in. It should show on Odin now, and this flash should take correctly.

Also make sure the USB port you are using is a direct link to your board. I always use one of the original USB 2 ports on the back of my computer. Not using a USB hub either, but straight from the port to your phone.
Hello,
I have been using some release candidates of ICS which were available here on my i9000. Everything worked out generally fine. Sometimes my phone crashed and then it wouldn't want to go further than my i9000 and afterwards the google screen. Both screens would just repeat endlessly without the phone doing anything.
When this happened, I was always able to go back to recovery mode and uninstall everything and reinstall the rom. This would always solve my problem.
Now here is my current issue: on Saturday my phone crashed again, but now I can NOT enter recovery mode any more. Whenever I plug in a usb cable or normal cable to charge my phone it shows the calculating sign and after a few secs it's gone and starts all over again instead of showing the green battery slowly getting full.
The only thing which works is getting into download mode. So I tried to get odin to work. I installed kies to get the usb drivers and I opened odin (on both windows and a mac), but it does NOTHING.
Is there any other way I can reset my phone to get it somehow working again? Is there another way to get into recovery besides the buttons or using odin? I know of ADB but that requires the phone to be on....
When you plug your phone in (and enter download mode) what device type does windows detect it as?
Because you can get to download mode normally a "good" sign that it isn't bricked (and even when "bricked" it can be un-bricked)
Edit
Just tested mine, entered download mode and odin shows it connected on Com6, device manager shows it connected as a "Samsung Mobile Modem"
try and install the samsung modem drivers separately then try and connect connect
Hi,
first, be sure that all Kies-services are disabled via Taskmanager otherwise ODIN wont work correct!
then Bring your SGS1 to the Downloadmode, connect the USB_cable at the phone.
fullfill all sections you need in ODIN (PDA-Kernle, CODE-modem, CSC-CSC, pitfile512) klick repartition on
then connect your SGS1 via USB to the PC
Odin will show "connected"
Press start.

This is probably getting boring to some people now but i am having a major issue with Odin detecting my phone when it is in Download mode.
Once i connect the phone after loading up Odin and holding the 3 button combo, Windows installs 2 more drivers - USB Device and then Unknown Device. Then nothing, Odin just sits there and no yellow box glows or a COM port showing the phone is connected. I have tried installing Kies originally and using the drivers from that with no success, then i used the standalone driver packages available from softpedia and several other websites with no luck. What i can't understand is, when i connect the phone to my computer in it's normal state it has no problems and allows me to transfer files, access both the internal and external SD but shows as an 'unknown device' in the Device Manager when in Download mode... Why??!!
Somebody please help me!

Stock rom shouldn't have this problem.. you should either uninstall everything related to samsung from your computer and then start again or try connecting to a different PC.. you'll be able to find out whether this problem is just with the single system or not
I always run up Odin, then use the 3 buttons to get to download mode and then connect to USB port.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
I had the same problem, then I finally got it to work.
Try this:
First off, you may need to try several different versions of Odin. The one I finally got to work on my phone was V1.85. you can find a collection of different versions to download here: http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/odin-multi-downloader-flasher-program.html
Next, Load up Odin. Plug in you phone to the USB port with phone powered on, remove the battery on the phone. While holding the 3 buttons down (Volume up, down & power) put the battery back in. Wait for the text to start to scroll, let go of the buttons. When it gets to the menu, unplug the USB, then plug back in. The yellow box in Odin should say it's connected. If not you may have to do this a couple of times.
Now this is the part I can't remember...I think what I did from here is chose the recovery option in the menu. Sorry I don't remember exactly what i did, I was a noob when I did it, and I think I got lucky.
I do remember that Odin would not flash it until I finally got to the screen with the picture of the android in the construction hat, or something like that.
Maybe someone with more experience can help with this part.
I had the same problem
The fix is: Use the USB JIG to get into download mode.
