[Q] Download mode not recognised! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just installed the samsung drivers on my fairly old PC because my laptop decided to break..
Anyway everything installed PC recognises my kies/mass storage/ADB etc
But when i go to flash a rom in odin it doesnt recognise download mode!
Nothing happens what so ever, and it normally says 'added'
So im kinda confused :/
p.s Yes i have reinstalled the drivers and cleared cache and temp and other crap like that, lol.

I had that problem erlier. I didn't have a Windows-machine at home to use KIES and Odin with, use Linux normaly so I took a older computer and installed Windows at it to flash my beloved SGS.
But that computer didn't recognized my phone i Download mode either, but all other modes worked. After some time I'd saw that the USB ports wasn't Hi-speed. So I tried to put in a PCI card with USB Hi-speed ports and with those it works.
Maybe your USB ports aren't Hi-speed?
Hope this may help.

Thats probabbly it :/
Ill just have to fix my laptop

[Q] USB Not Recognised

Hello guys,
To cut a long story short, my cousin wants me to hack is Samsung Galaxy GT i9000.
I rooted his phone in August and it was working perfectly (I play around with my Desire quite a lot) and since then he's tried to get rid of the root to update to official Froyo and something has happened to the USB.
I have tried to install every driver known to man kind to get this phone recognised by 3 laptops and a Desktop PC. 1 XP, 1 Vista and 2 Windows 7. I have been using USB Debug Mode, I've tried it without Debug mode, I've tried every USB slot, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, kies, even deleted the phone from Device Manager and retried that... and nothing has happened. I can also get in to Download mode but unfortunately the computer still doesn't recognise the USB so therefore I cannot use Odin to flash the phone.
Any help? Cheers
Dan

Are you using x86 or x86_64 OS? Both of these drivers are available at: http://code.google.com/p/insanity/downloads/list -- try 'em?

Tried all that already mate, but I tried again just in case, and nope.. No avail whatsoever. This is majorly frustrating now.
I can access Android Recovery (eventhough originally Clockworkmod was on there, but my cousin has done some strange things to this phone) so I think if I can find a verified signed update.zip, I can install something through that no problem, via the Internal SD Card + "apply: update.zip"?
Oh and another thing, when I put the USB Cable in to the Computer and in to the SGS, the option for Charging, Mass Storage, Tethering etc doesn't come up..
Any light whatsoever?

[Q] i9000 USB connection not working at all

I have an annoying problem, when I connect i9000 to PC using USB cable, only phone charging happens, other that that, nothing happens, the i9000 is not aware of USB connection and so the PC.
I've tried this on 3 PC, 2 with windows 7 64-bit, and the other with XP SP3.
I tried installing kies, samsung usb drivers, even somene in another forum gave me an update file to apply it through the recovery mode but, with no sccess.
Also tried what others said about unmounting SD card,.....connecting in debug mode,.........
All no sccess

Do you have a custom launcher installed on your i9000? I have found (experience) that KIES will not fire if you are not using the stock launcher (TWLAUNCHER). Once I switch from LauncherEX to TWLauncher, KIES will fire and I can use it, the USB Mass Storage, etc....

Thanks for your answer.
I tried this also, but didn't work for me.
BUT the issue was solved. Don't know the exact mechanism, but here's what I did.
As android is a little brother of linux, I told myself why don't you give Ubuntu a trial. So, I downloaded and installed it, then after booting in Ubuntu, I connected the phone, 1st no success but then enabled debug mode and the phone & computer identified each other
Excellent, but no ODIN or KIES for Ubuntu , little depressed, booted into Windows 7 and BINGO, the issue resolved completely.
Maybe the big brother Ubuntu, gave his little bra a push
Try cleaning port on phone
Hi, I went through similar - only ubuntu didn't work either.... I eventually read in a linux forum though about cleaning the usb port on the phone with alcohol. As was at home then and tried on windows again and BOOM! drivers like crazy...
Might try that too. My phone was only 3 months old and never really abused but it worked so what do I know.
Ubuntu or alcohol, I'm happy now that my issue was solved

You don't have to know much about ubuntu, just download it, then install it as any windows program, boot into ubuntu.
After that connect your phone to the computer, and make sure to activate debuging mode on i9000. You may need to disconnect and reconnect the cable before it works.
I also find that my PC will only recognize my phone if I reboot the i9000 right before connecting it.
Quirky, but livable.
Actually this issue is strange, and when I emailed Samsung about this problem, they asked me to install KIES
Yes My phone to only charging when connect cable nothing else happen please any help

i have the same problem and found out that my phone has to be on idle mode... how do i put my phone in idle mode? it says to close all applications and i did but still nothing... and none of the above solutions worked for me.

And to top it all my phone will not boot into download mode.
Guys,
I am having the same issue. This started when I upgraded my P from Win XP to Win 7. I tried the alcohol thing. I tried Ubuntu which could not recognize the phone, whatever mode (USB debug or not, media, kies or mass storage). Of course, I had tried before that to install the lastest USB drivers. I also tried Kies.
Nothing worked. Any further help ?

USB not working

Well I flashed phoenix unleashed yesterday coming from firefly 2.8. Did everything step by step like I always do like using odin to flash to stock... well anyways after I flashed phoenix unleashed 8.0 I plugged the usb in to mount the sd well it froze on me as soon as I did that and now I can't mount it or get it to recognize with odin in download mode. Win 7 just says unknown device even though I have the drivers installed and have reinstalled em several times. I just can't get it to mount or have odin recognize it. Am I stuck with this rom? Help please.
I had the same thing happen to me, it was recognized while booted but the download mode driver went to crap. UnInstalled, rebooted, installed, rebooted still nothing, went through that cycle a couple times, finally I just restored my pc from an earlier restore point (i create one about once a week) that did the trick.
But you don't need a computer to flash a different rom, boot to recovery wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache, and flash rom like normal, so you aren't STUCK with that rom...

Could just be a bad flash. I suggest that if you like this ROM to reflash it and see if that fixes it. If not, just do as Stud suggested and flash another one. You can dl most of them OTA from their xda tread.
*Also don't forget to clear data/cache/dalvik*
Ok thanks to both of you for a speedy reply will try to flash that way. I was stuck thinking I had to flash using the this is how you flash guide. Well thanks !

I just went through a few post and seems like other ppl had your problem, did you flash while your usb was plugged in? If so that would be why. You have to disconnect the phone before flashing
I would still recommend getting your phone seen by odin, in case you have a bad flash/soft brick and the only option you have is a jig and odin. Try different usb ports, cables, and different computers.
Yea I flashed with the usb cable disconnected. And tried it on another computer and nothing
Usb worked the first time I tried with this rom I tranfered a movie to it and after it transferred it froze. The movie plays fine on it but it froze windows explorer and hasn't worked since than.
ok just went into recovery did wipe data/factory reset , wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache. also downloaded firefly 2.7 through sgs tools and flashed it. still a no go on usb connectivity...
Ok i got it to mount and can access the storage on the phone but when i go into download mode my computer says it cannot recognize the device. geez this is frustrating. odin recognizes it while the phone is not in download mode but that does me no good since it has to be in download mode to work.

Have you tried a different port? Also, (re)download the drivers and reset ur comp.
If that doesnt work than idk what to suggest anymore. It could just be that the port on your phone is dead but wouldnt make any sense if you can mount and charge.

yea thats what im thinking. Only way i got it to mount was to uninstall the drivers go into safe mode and manually delete all the samsung driver entries in regedit. Which driver is used for download mode?
Ok get this. I did a fresh install of win 7 64-bit loaded the usb drivers for it and all the usb ports are 2.0 except for one 3.0 on the front. Tried connecting to all of the usb ports on the back of the computer still get the usb device not recognized. Tried the three in the front same thing. The only way my computer can see the device is through my Logitech g-15 keyboard usb ports which are 1.0. Its weird! I can mount it with those ports but wont connect in download mode again.
ok i found the problem. Was a bad stock mini usb cable. Used my brothers mini usb cable connected to the back of my pc and it recognized my phone right away even in download mode. Flashed back to stock and flashed pheonixultimate. runs great!
To be clear, it was the cable that came with the phone(also used to charge from walk charger)?

thats correct!
I was looking on Samsung website awhile back,a and several people were having problems with that cable not working as a data cable.
I just had the same kinda issue yesterday.what I ended up havin to do,was reinstall the drivers on my laptop.then with the phone powered off,hold vol up and down at the same time,just like you're tryin to put it in download mode.once in download mode,the computer installed the drivers.but you have to do it after you reinstall the new drivers again.cuz the new drivers recognize your phone as a new device.I think it only installed two drivers when I did it.but it was enough to solve my problem.hope this helps.but who knows.I might be stupid and it wont help you at all.it helped me though

Help...ODIN won't recognize phone in download mode

I have drivers installed, I've used Odin before but now it won't recognize the phone in download mode. It'll see it when it is on though. Any help??? This happened after updating to 2.3.3 through Kies.
Just noticed that the PC doesn't recognize the phone either now. Must be drivers issue. How do I fix it???

In Kies, there are Kies Driver installer, that install a bunch of drivers for phone.
Try to install all drivers and then connect phone again.

So i tried this, but it doesnt help. I still have in device manager something wrong.
When I'm trying Update Driver Software, windows cant found right driver...
Is it possible, that I something f*ct up at last flash? Before it everything works fine. When I flashed first time, i forgot the *.pit file - odin wrote "failed" - I tried it again, but correctly - everything was ok - I fashed kernel - after that in CMW I Instaled *.zip file with Juwe's ROM 4.3.1 and my phone reboot in landscape mode... and i cant change it to normal mode.
I tried factory reset from phone - there are some red lines with this: tsf format failed on dev/block/mmcblk0p2, but when i go to CWM mode through (volUP+home button+on/of button) and i did a factory reset there - is it without red lines. Somebody ask me if i tried reflash - so i am here with my "driver problem"

I know this may sound dumb, but make sure you are using a compatible cable.. i.e. does data transfer, I bough a replacment cable months ago for my damaged one under the impression it did data because I could connect and transfer to USB (I know this is data)... but kies would not recognize the phone.. I ended up buying a real replacement. Problem solved.
I think, that my biggest problem is cannot connect to kies and odin...
i am in the end... so cabel is the same, i used it when i flashed befor - as i said my problem is in phone, not in drivers or cabels. Is here something to do flash without this drivers?
can you confirm there is no issue with your USB ports on your computer? just seems odd it wont recognize your phone in download mode... you are placing it in download mode when using odin right?
I just did a flash with mine to a stock rom,
Same problem, I can get to DL mode, but it does not recognize,
When I am in the standard Tab OS, with USB as mass storage, I can see if fine.
Odd how it just happened as well. I'd like to follow this thread see where it goes.
*edit reinstalling drivers does not resolve the issue,
- have not tried installing keis again yet though,
- also Odin recognizes it in Recovery Mode
*edit again - sorry guys, didnt realize i was in the i9000 forum, hit this on a google search and replied
I can go to the download mode throught 3-buttons combo - but odin recognize my phone - the same thing is in kies - it's vicious circle - i hope flash help me - but I cant do it, because i cant connect to odin
Unfortunatly I am out of help... I thin kyou may need someone who knows ADB and the phones system internals if ODIn won't recognize your phone in Donload mode... I have had my phone in several bad situations(Fried internalsd/bootloaders) but download mode would always connect me to ODIN..
Last try, try different versions of odin, 1.3 - 1.8 apparently it can be testy with different versions of windows.
Try the drivers & Odin 1.83 from my signature. Works all the time.

[Q] Zero connectivity in download mode. £10 for solution. :)

Okay a little backstory:
I was on an early version of CM9 but as i am selling the phone i decided to put a more stable version of it on there and downloaded CM7 -stable.
I flashed this in CWM and it worked fine.
I gave it a quick test and noticed all the google apps were missing, most importantly the market. So i booted into recovery and realised i had forgotten to put the zip on the SD card.
I then went into mounts and mounted USB, nothing happened...
From that point onwards the phone would not talk to the PC. even if i booted up into the phone, it would just show it as charging. I could not find any options in the menus for USB options.
After some extensive reading, i tried a few things, none of them had worked. I found a post mentioning some kernels have issues with USB, so i downloaded the recommended one and flashed it in CWM.
After rebooting, CWM was now orange and not blue and the option to flash from external card has gone.
I have also done some digging and there is a good posibility that the kernal that i flashed was for the GT I9000 (which is the american one, right?)
So as it is at the moment:-
I can get into CWM.
I can get into download mode through the 3 button combo.
I can get into download mode using home made jig.
I can boot the phone, but it boot loops.
I can not get the phone to be detected on the pc.
Things i have checked:
Cable will connect other phones.
Tried different cable to be sure.
Phone used to be detected, but downloaded drivers through kies again to be sure.
Closed Kies using task manager.
Nothing is coming up in network connections in device manager when phone is connected.
I'm out of ideas now, so £10 PayPal donation for anyone that comes up with the solution to fix it
If i can get it detected, i can use Odin to flash what i want.
Sounds like a drivers problem. You may need the 'Google driver' developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
When I had bootloops when I first installed CM9 I used heimdall to flash a the stock CM9 kernel. This gave me back CWM.
heimdall flash --kernel 'kernel.zip'
In the commandline.
Thanks for that,
I already had the Google USB drivers from when i installed the SDK to make some apps.
So i then gave Heimdall a try (Graphical Version), it seemed to suffer the same problem.
Reporting "Failed to detect compatible download-mode device."
I seem to remember the GUI saying I didn't have the correct drivers and it downloaded them for me.
The other thing worth a try is changing the USB port and reinstalling the correct drivers on that port.
I've not seen anything like that, it has not asked me for any drivers.
It's like the phone is not connected at all. nothing will detect it, i have even tried it on another PC.
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by installing on a port.
Well sometimes changing USB port will allow you to install new drivers. Although if you've tried it in another computer and it doesn't work then changing port may not help.
Does the phone appear in device manager when it's connected and in download mode?
Nope. Not coming up at all in the device manager. It didn't when it was booting fine. And it still doesn't in download mode. :-( I'm thinking the usb connector on the phone might be faulty.
But it was working up until trying to mount the USB in CWM

I don't suppose you have access to a Linux PC do you? Windows USB drivers are notoriously sucky. If you could plug it into a Linux PC and type 'lsusb' at a command line, that would at least show you that the device is really there.
I think I have a spare pc kicking around that I could use. I'll give it a go when I get home tonight.

Remove all the drivers completely from device manager for Samsung, then install fresh drivers and connect the cable when in download mode, hopefully it will recognize it
Are you sure the connector is clean? e.g. maybe there's dust in it.
I had that problem once, the connector was full of fabric fibers from some coat's pocket I had the phone in.
Suggestion 1 (Linux): I installed ubuntu, did not detected anything to even install any drivers. Detected my new phone fine.
Suggestion 2 (Uninstall drivers from device manager): I could not find any drivers named with the name Samsung in there.
Suggestion 3 (Clean port): I have some compressed air that i sprayed inside, it does look pretty clean and will continue to charge but still not connection on the pc.
To install the drivers for heimdall you have to run zdiag from inside the driver folder. Had to do this earlier on, the phone the other appeared as something other than Samsung composite usb or whatever it normally says
I tried this, and it displayed 9 devices after selecting show all. I seemed to recognise all of the items in the menu.
To be sure, I then disconnected the phone and re ran it to see if one of the items were missing, but it was the same number.
I too had problem with the usb connection on my i9000, and I was pretty sure my usb connector on the phone is somewhat damaged since it sometimes can only go to charging mode without being detected by my pc as a usb device. CWM instal is fine but ODIN can only detect the phone without able to flash the rom to the phone. The flashing will always stuck at the message "Setting Up Connection", I waited for 15 minutes and the flashing will eventually died. I retry the odin flash for 40 to 50 times and eventually the flashing will go through one time. Tried heidmall command line and the result is the same.
I have problem with Odin in the past. I bought a new laptop, running Win7 64 bit. Installed Samsung Kies to install the correct USB drivers for the phone. Then made sure that Kies wasn't running in the background. So tried using Odin. Odin was detecting the phone, but it was hanging at initialising connection. Odin was working fine on my old laptop running Win7 32bit. Long story short, I was having a few issues with my new laptop, reinstalled Win7 64bit, now Odin is working fine, have flashed the phone a few times using the new computer.
After flashing which kernel you started facing this problem?
Wipe ur phone,re-flash CM7(flash the nightly 181,it's completely stable),uninstall KIES,uninstall old usb drivers,install these usb drivers http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956 ,check that USB storage mode is set as Mass Storage and then connect your phone. Also try enabling/disabling USB debugging

The point at which i could no longer mount the USB was when i selected "mount usb" from CWM. I later installed a new kernal which downgraded my CWM, removing the install from external SD option.
So I cant flash a re-flash a rom unless i can it onto the phone which without the USB working is near impossible.

You can directly download the ROM on your internal sd using dolphin browser or opera mobile
I can't do that either as the phone is currently boot looping.
