Hello all, I am turning to the Forums since I have spent 5 hours trying to resolve my problem.
Earlier today I installed Kies Mini on my computer in anticipation of the official AT&T Froyo. However, now my computer no longer recognizes my phone at all. It does not show up in the Device Manager, or anywhere.
I tried Uninstalling Kies Mini, Uninstalling the Drivers, Rebooting my phone. etc, etc. But Windows still will not recognize the phone as attached. It worked in the past and I would like for it to work again.
I am currently running Windows 7 64 bit. My Captivate is running Cog 3.4.
Try this:
Uninstall Kies Mini and all Drivers
Reinstall Kies Mini
Once installed turn on USB debugging on your phone and then plug it in, let it install all of the drivers.
Unplug your phone and shut it down
Once shut down activate download mode (hold up and down volume and plug in the USB) again it will install more drivers.
Once this is done unplug your phone, remove the battery and turn it back on, then restart your computer.
Uninstalled Kies Mini, and Samsung Drivers. Reboot
Installed Kies Mini.
Attached Phone to Computer. Nothing.
Also, Tried to Just boot my phone into Recovery Mode. But only boots into Clockwork Recovery. Can't Log into Stock Recovery
Update: Tried hooking up the phone to my XP machine. No Joy. XP did not recognize the device or try to install drivers.
Did you enable debugging?

Yes, I placed it in Debug mode. When I plug in my Phone my Title Bar Shows the USB Debugging Android indicating that USB Debugging connected, the USB icon that says Copy files to From Computer. If I click on USB, it gives me the Green Connect Android, then the Orange One. But none of my computers recognize a USB device as connected.
I have tried it with Three different cables. I'm thinking that somehow the phone is not sending some message to Windows saying "Hey, I'm connected"
Did you use the correct drivers for the phone? Can't recall of the top of my head if I can use the standard captivate drivers for windows if your on cognition..

I am having this exact same issue - only I updated from JH7 to Official 2.2 (for ****s n giggles) and now pc no longer recognizes phone. Went through the uninstall and reinstall and reboot.... no luck. I've never had this issue before...... ever.
I have tried almost everything i can think of. Anyone have any suggestions?

Not in device manager
I have what appears to be a soft brick. I was running the i9000 drivers. I was trying to install the i897. At first Odin recognized my phone and I began to download. The Odin bootloader flash failed. No my computer (Win 7 64 bit) does not even see my phone. Nothing in device manager, not even an unrecognized device.
I can get my phone into download mode. Does anyone have an idea how I can get windows to see me again?
From my experience as long as you are in download mode and have odin opened up it when you connect it, odin should find the phone no problem for you to be able to flash something new to it.

Have you rebooted the PC? Try to reinstall the drivers again. I had to reinstall the nexus s drivers but I have read some need to reinstall kies to get the drivers to work. Just keep at it. Try other USB ports. My phone wouldn't be recognized for about two weeks with trying everything. I tried new USB cables, drivers and all. Then finally it kind of worked and I went from download mode with a jig to phone!PC and then it took another reboot of the laptop and phone was able to get flashed again via the phone!PC screen. Just keep trying is all I can say.

installing a recovery shouldn't stop the computer from recognising the device, where to is it being failed to recognise? flashtool? usb storage? have you tried removing the drivers from device manager and reinstalling them? have you tried a different usb cable? different usb port?
So the phone is never recognized if I just plug the phone into the computer. No charging light, doesn't show up on computer. Tried 3 different cables and many usb ports that i know work. I have windows 8 so It almost always auto detects hardware and auto installs drivers. I deleted it from hardware and printers and downloaded the sony zperia z driver for windows 8 and it s a zip file. I tried extracting it and it only opens up as a bunch of random files. NO application. I have only installed the XZ dual boot recovery and root with restore v33. It only charges sometimes if I plug it in and reboot it. But it still doesn't show up as a device on my computer.
So when i plug in the phone and reboot it charges the phone and says usb debugging but my computer doesn't show the phone.
I also have ubuntu imstalled on my computer (dual boot) and it doesn't reconize the device in ubunutu either. And when trying to use any of the flash tools it says device not found or connect device.
Hi I tried to boot into download mode to install recovery (phone says "Downloading...") but when I connect it my phone to pc, windows says that device is not recognized and odin doesn't detect it too. I tried to remove and install drivers again, change usb port, usb cable, reboot pc, try another pc (both on windows 8.1) and clean usb port on phone. Mass storage and adb throught usb works well.
Do you have any ideas how to make it working? Or somehow flash recovery/CM without download mode?
nope. Doesn't work!

I had the same problem. :good:
windows recognizes. But 8.1 doesn't. :crying: You have to down-grade.
A suggestion, have a separate OS for these works and "gaming" xD say 7?
It works great!
Ok, thanks guys, I will try to find another pc with w7 or xp.
I have the d415 and I have been running the latest version of the UberSlimOS ROM, for two months without any major problems. The only problem I do have is that I am unable to connect the phone to the computer. When I plug it in, nothing shows up on the computer or the phone (I have tried this under both Windows 10 and Ubuntu 14.03 & 15.10). I have installed and uninstalled the LG drivers on Windows. I have tried installing another rom (OrionLP) with a clean wipe. Neither of these work. The phone shows up when I plug it in when it is booted in recovery mode, but in regular phone mode I get nothing.
What should I do
hello when I connect my s3 mini to the pc, it only loads it, it does not recognize it and I do not receive the usb notification when I put it in download mode, it does not recognize me either. I have the drivers installed
