[Q] Usb problem after flashing to 2.3.2 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone please help me?
I flashed my sgs with odin to 2.3.2 i downloaded the files from samfirmware.com, everything is working fine just like the other times i flashed my sgs, the only thing is: my pc's and laptop don't reconize my sgs at all, the win pop-up tells me the usb device isn't reconized becouse it't broken. It doesn't even try to install drivers, so i did thay manualy. Still the same! Next i tried with two other (new, original) usb cables... No succes. Then i tried other pc's with different versions of windows, again... No succes.
For the record:
my sgs does charge when connected to usb
Tried usb debugging
Tried factory reset
Odin cant find phone
No mass storage
No kies
No mediaplayer
Okay my question: does anyone know how to fix this?
If no, can anyone create a update.zip to flash back to stock eclair or froyo?

[HELP] PC doesn't recognize phone after update

Hello everyone,
Alright, I've just updated my phone to the latest version Androind 2.2.1 JPY.
I was following the guide for installing Darky's ROM, but my pc doesn't show anything when I connect my phone.
I have up-to-date drivers.
When my phone was on 2.1 JM2 it was working.
I have no idea what the problem is.
I really appreciate the help and thanks in advance.
-Mick
Hi i have a similar problem, i have to connect it about 3 times for it to recognise, i am on darkys rom. anyway try this:
go into settings - wireless + networks - USB settings and select ask on connection. then try it again.
I'm not on Darky's rom yet since I can't connect to my PC.
I've just tried that a couple of times but didn't work.
does the phone connect when in download mode ? try a re flash if it does...
It does not, it also doesn't show up in Odin.
does the pc make any sounds when usb is connected ?? are you sure its not the usb cable thats at fault here ??
No sound at all. But like I said, it worked when I was on 2.1. So it's not the USB cable.
Uninstall Kies .
Reboot and reinstall Kies to give you USB drivers .
If your phone works and is set to USB mode Mass Storage connect cab;e and windows will pick up phone .

Just tried it, but it didn't work.
try a stock rom
I am on a stock rom. A fresh JPY 2.2.1.
Still stuck with this problem.
have you tried a different port on the PC ? if that doesnt work u will have to try another cable to find out if its the phone or not... have u done factory reset in recovery
Yes, I've tried all the ports on my PC.
The cable is fine, because it worked just before I updated.
I'm going to try a factory reset right now.
EDIT:
Factory reset didn't work. Should I try a re-flash?
EDIT2:
Just remembered I can't do a re-flash since I can't connect to my PC whatsoever.
Did I brick my phone?
I have the same issues but I have flashed several roms none the less. I gave up on the PC after serveral PC's and several days. I think it may be a usb hardware issue as I did connect to Kies once and the PC once but then I tried the next day and I've never gotten it back on despite countless driver reinstalls, android SDK adb attempts, odin, heimdall etc...
So to flash I first installed clockwork mod as an update.zip (put it in the root folder, then boot up in recovery - you'll need 3 button mode working I think). This was in the instructions for the first VoodooDoctor rom I flashed.
I also highly recomend also getting steam recovery (mine was part of a rom so I don't know the XDA link) as it allows flashing roms that are stored on the SD card. which is handy for me as that is the only way to get something on the phone if the flash goes sideways and I didn't already have it in the root folder. It is accessible now as the update.zip in my root folder and so I can run it from clockwork.
Clockwork allows you to flash from the phone - no odin needed. Steam does the same but steam is newer so I've mainly stuck with CWM except when I had to figure out a way to fix a bad flash....
I made this post about my near death (of my sgs)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929020
I'd still stick with the tried and true as its a little nerve racking to flash knowing that you need some function on the phone to recover but if you are dying to try a good tested custom rom I'd encourage you do so.

[Q] Semi-bricked, USB not recognized, doesn't even charge

Hi!
After searching the forums for a while I did not find a thread exactly matching my problem, so if I've overseen it, please just point me there.
To my problem:
I did a very stupid mistake, flashing a new custom ROM with a different kernel (as usual, cooked in Docs Kitchen) without converting back the lagfix. So I ended up with a non-booting phone - so far, so bad. Note to myself: Never flash a phone during the carnival weekend again.
So I booted into download mode and tried to recover it via Odin, but here I got my really bad surprise: USB device is not recognized, thus I Odin does not see the phone.
I tried 4 different PCs with Win7 or XP, a Linux desktop and a Macbook. I also tried 5 different USB cables (they all work with other smartphones like the Desire and the HD2). Wherever I stick the phone in, it is not recognized (code 10/code 43 in Win7). I used the stand-alone-drivers from the sticky forum thread here, and also most recent Kies versions, always the same: USB device not recognized.
Does anybody have an idea how to revive the USB connectivity? I'm almost at the point to send it in for repairs...
Or can someone elaborate how I could have killed USB with corrupting the ROM? I've to admit I do not really understand how these two are connected.

Hi Amokbunny
You get into download mode but the PC won't recognize the phone?
That's messy and I can think of nothing that could have done that. you did not change the bootloader did you (flashed a full samsung ROM containing a bootloader, for example VJ1)?
If not I guess it's a hardware issue.
formatted to ext4 without any backup
I did a very stupid mistake too. Got darky's rom 9.3., installed i, everything worked great(really awesome thing), then i wnt to recovry mode and entered tthe speedmod and it showed mr that my phone has rtf files system not EXT4 as it should be, thou i installed the speed mode. then i chose to repartition it to ext4 but i didn't choose the backup. Just clicked to format the sd. It did formatted to EXT4, rebooted, i saw the darky's rom logo and the the phone vibrated and the logog of the droid just flashed. I tried to enter recovery mode-didn't load. Started the download mode connexted to pc used ODIN 1.7 with PDA I9000XXJPY.tar, MODEM I9000XXJPY.tar, GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPY-LITE.tar s1_odin_20100512.pit.
The phone has started, appeared teh stok galaxy s logo and it's just flashing. Help needed. Don,t know what to do know. I have galayx s i9000 european version.
somehow i've managed to install new firmare 2.2.1 /I9000XXJPY-baseband /2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1-kernel version, but z4root isn't working. When i start permanent root the programm ends on aquiring root shell, the debug mode is on
Got it all running, installed Darky's rom 9.3. Thanks anyway.

Yep, I can boot into download and recovery modes, but that's it.
The only apparent change in the new custom ROM was the kernel.
I also cannot really access my external SD card (it shows me some phantom files, but not the actual content of the SD), otherwise I'd try to recover it this way.
I agree with the hardware issue, if it wouldn't have coincided with the flash procedure...anyway, I think I'll send it in for repairs if I don't get it to run on this sunday.
I have the exact same problem, except that I can access my external SD. I got the problem after upgrading to Darkys Rom 9.3 the usual way, but switched from Speedmod to Voodoo. After that update, my USB didn't work anymore.
I can't get neither Xp or Win 7 to recognize my phone. USB device not recognized, and tried all the tricks. Reinstalling Kies and drivers, switching between the different modes (storage, kies media, ask, debug...) But still no USB connection.
I updated to darkys 9.5 (transferring the rom using bluetooth, and updating using CWM), but still it doesn't work.
Can get it into download mode, but still can't connect using USB and Odin.
HELP!
Did anybody ever find a solution for this?
European version of I9000, bought in Denmark. No Simlock
Same thing here after installing JV1 + Ultibread Rom 1.4... Still no solution
*shameless push*
Any solution here? I dont have that problem, but it sounds too scary to not have a working solution :S
Same prob here! Any news?
Any solution? I have the same problem.

But if you are in download mode on your fone you'd rather should have a look at your configuration on the computer. Because the fone still can be flashed if the symbol for download still appears.
- Kies is shut down while ODIN is active?
- latest Samsung USB driver installed?
- Odin started with Admin?
Btw. did you try to get into recovery mode? Maybe this also still is working as the partition is quite small and chance high that it was flashed w/o faults. So you may be able to flash a zipped ROM rather than a tarball for Odin.
USB Not working when Phone plugged in... try these..
Unplug Device from PC..
Windows go to Device Manager...
Scroll down to Universal serial bus Controllers
Start with the top one and work your way down ..uninstall them all..
When done reboot Computer and let it install them all.. then try again
2.Settings --> USB Setings (under wireless & network may differ depending on Rom used) --> Try other settings Mass storage
3.Different USB ports on PC
4.Uninstall KIES from PC (reboot PC to take effect) and Reboot and just install samsung USB drivers....
5.Using windows type in msconfig in Start>Run box... windows will pop up and untick KIES from STARTUP TAB
Apply to take effect and restart machine.. try using ODIN to Flash ROM
I myself only use the Samsung USB drivers and ODIN never use KIES
or ...Check my signature and try SD formatter

Update gone wrong?

I tried to flash stock 2.3.6 xwjvz and odin hanged at setup connection and everything i try it just hang's at setup connectio.. i cant flash anything... strange thing that the phone is soft bricked and shows that sign with phone and computer but it still wants to go into download mode normali???

Actually the same happened to my SGS & ended up at samsung service center, got it's Mobo replaced ..!
Still i Dunno what caused the issue..
Did you try a different USB port? Or Different USB cable? Also what version of ODIN are you running?

Usb storage problem help!

Hi to all!
From Yesterday i have i sudden problem i never had.
When i connect my i9000 does not anymore show the 2 drives (usb storage of both internal external sd) on my computer.
I use Glitch kernel with latest cm7 kang.
When i connect the phone via usb to the pc,sometimes i get the erroe usb device not recognised (win 7 x64), and connects and disconnects randomly(always showing the error),other times doesnt do anything.
I tried cleaning the port,different pc usb port,different pc's, factory reset,different cable,older versions of glitch kernel or cm7.
Formatted also boot and system folders(of course also wipe data etc).
Installed kiss,boot the pc with phone off and then on.
Tried win7 x64 drivers.Sometimes i get on windows unknown device that i cannot find drivers that accepts.
On off usb debug mode and restart.
Nothing seems to work for me.
So id like to ask.....Should i try to go back on stock(firmware+kernel)?
And how is it done???
Or maybe its the port fault?
Any ideas?Noone?
Could someone please tell me how to go back on stock?
First to stock kernel then to stock firmware?
Thanks
The "device not revognised" error is related to USB debug mode, unless you have installed Google USB drivers.
Its not supposed to occur with debug mode=off.
Going back to stock (Leaked JVU) is explained here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431596
Thanks for the link.
Going back to stock worked for a friend of mine,which came today(he has the same phone with cm7.2 rco and glitch kernel but with usb port working)by simpling entering on download mode and flashing with odin.Drivers installed (from samsung drivers folder,after installing kies)
On my phone,on download mode,or it doesnt say anything or i get on pc the message uknown device,cannot install etc.If i try to manual push the drivers it says the device cannot start.
So it must be a hardware related problem no??
In this case ,because i am still on warranty,is there any other way (for example via cwm) to put stock firmware and kernel in order to claim warranty?
Many thanks for your posts.

Captivate i896 - Absolutely unable get Windows to recognize it

I'm trying to root my friend's Rogers Captivate i896 using Odin but can't get the computer to recognize the device. I tried installing the drivers mentioned throughout other threads. I've tried uninstalling Keis, uninstalling the drivers, connecting to different USB ports, tried several computers/laptops running XP & Win7, tried USB desbugging on/off, tried "mass storage/kies firmware update/ask when connected."
He got the phone with Eclair and when it became available he then updated to Froyo through Keis. Ever since that update he hasn't been able to get any computer to recognize the phone. When I root my sgs i9000 I did have an issue with "mtp application error" that ended up being a missing driver but with this i896 model I've tried several different drivers and still nothing.
I can't root if the Odin can't 'see' it, or is there another way? Any others out there that have had success? Any help is much appreciated.
First of all, you don't use Odin to root it. Odin won't see it when the phone is on; only in download mode. You will just need SuperOneClick in order to root.
It is also unclear whether you are trying to say that Windows won't recognize it, or just Odin
Sent from my ICS Samsung Captivate
Windows in general won't recognize it. Even when I connect it to a mac, I hit the 'connect storage to pc" and it says it's connected but the internal/external hd do not mount. I used odin to root and put a rom (darky10.2) on my sgsi9000 and used the same instructions because the same steps also work for the captivate. I thought I read somewhere that I use Odin to go from Froyo to Gingerbread?
I'll looking at a SuperOneClick youtube vid & it says to connect the device to the pc & run superOneClick on the pc but how will that work if the issue is that the pc's can't detect the phone in the first place? btw thanks for the help.

Sure, you can use Odin/Heimdall to flash any stock firmware, but it's not going to help you if the phone can't be recognized. It sounds like something is physically malfunctioning. Are you using the USB cable that came with the phone? I suspect that either the cable or USB port is malfunctioning.
I thought the same thing but I am using the cable that came with the phone and I tried different ports. I also tried different laptops running different versions of windows. So strange. Ah well thanks for the help.
I had a similar problem with my captivate before I changed the ROM, but only on one particularly stubborn computer. I ended up having to go through this process to get my phone to connect:
- Uninstall the USB driver
- Reboot computer
- Connect phone with debugging off
- Install USB driver
- Reboot computer
- Connect phone with debugging on.
After that, it worked just fine in whatever mode I wanted.
You may have already tried that process, but if not I hope it helps.
