Hello...
I have a problem with my SGS. I was on Darky 9.5, and decided to upgrade to JVB. I had CWM & working recovery on Darky 9.5, I disabled lagfix, and I downloaded deodexed JVB rom - in a zip file. I flashed it trough cwm, and it worked. With some issues. The rom (JVB) worked fine, but dialer app force closed a lot, and it was slow, gps badly working etc... I rooted trough odin with chainfires kernel 3.1 and then flashed a small zip file that enabled overscroll glow effect. And all of those things worked. I tried to flash to stock rom using odin and download mode but when I connect my sgs, my pc cannot recognize it. It says "USB device not recognised". So I cannot use ODIN, and also all of a sudden, i cannot enter cwm, even with 3 button combo. I tried this on 3 computers, and I have a second SGS which works fine, including download mode & odin DOES recognise it. So drivers should be fine. Anyone have a solution to this problem? I CAN start DOWNLOAD mode but 3 PC's don't recognize it. And my other SGS works on ALL 3 PC's.
Oh, I fogote to write. I directly flashed 2.3 JVB cwm zip (deodex. file) from cwm (darky 9.5) and that didnt't update bootloaders. The JVB rom booted and worked fine, but after powering on sgs displayed a weird looking boot screen, but the rom booted successfully anyway.
I would really appriciate your help.
Thanks.

Try to install Keis mini for the latest drivers. I had connection issues after flashing the leaked 2.3.4, and installing keis mini fixed it. Reboot your computer after the driver installation, and it should connect the phone fine. Also, what rom were you running before flashing? This may be a stupid question, but are you sure you were using the correct key combo for download mode?
As mentioned re-install with the latest drivers. You can get the LATEST Samsung drivers plus Odin 1.85 from my downloads page here:
http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=1095
Don't worry about them being in the SGS II section they work for all Samsung Galaxy S devices and are the latest ones.
Used one that came from Link. It gives file as SGH-I897_ATT_I897UCKH3_I897ATTKH3_I897UCKH3_I897UCKH3. Used oden 3 V1.83 to phone. I somehow got the phone to download mode and re-installed 2.3.3 and rooted with this post How to Root Captivate 2.3.3 Gingerbread with I897UCKF1 AutoRoot DesignGears.tar found here http://www.techpetals.com/how-to-ro...-with-i897uckf1-autoroot-designgears.tar-3624. This worked fine then I tried to get 2.3.4 to load AGAIN and found it was not rooted and use same procedure to root which it did. Now it keeps rebooting. Phone freezes then reboot to main screen. I have gotten the charge to work in off position my rebooting PC and leaving it pluged in by USB and trying top get to DOWN Load screen but will not work. Tried I900 procedure and this puts it in to recovery mode
I have reloaded 64 bit drivers again. USB plug on HP DV7 Laptop with I5 Intel chip is showing phone with No battery installed trying to connect but drive USB not recognized warning. Have tried to re-boot phone but keeps going to AT&T log screen or I can get to Recovery mode no download mode
You have to get it into download mode again, to flash the stock KH3 kernel! Can be found in dev section. If you can get into recovery flash biffmod and then to stock with odin one click

You have to download it on ur computer, then in recovery mount usb to computer and transfer it, then flash it

Hey there,
Got my moms Galaxy over here. Thing wasn't updated and slow as hell so I thought I'd update it. Went through the Kies process but that didn't really work, phone just couldn't make connection despite what ever driver I used (win or mac, got both here).
So first things went haywire when I read somewhere to flash recovery I needed to do something via Heimdall. Did that with the command window and afterwards the phone got stuck in a bootloop (only the I9000+samsung repeating over and over again).
Then I tried flashing GB from samfirmware, which failed. All done through odin, the screen went purple at dbdata.rfs. So I went with stock froyo, from the androidworld.nl forums and same thing happens but now it's a blue screen at factoryfs.rfs.
What am I doing wrong?
Try flashing again via Odin and this time don't touch your pc while it is flashing. That yellow purple screen has happened to me while I was doing other things while flashing was going on in the background.
And check if your phone is i9000 or i9000+ and flash the their respective firmware .

Same thing, didn't do anything and screen went gray. This is so random for me, as flashing is SO easy with my own Desire but this thing is on a whole different level.

Since the screwup started with Heimdall, might fix it with that?
Watch a YouTube video and see if you're doing everything properly.
What I do is
1. Go to download mode
2. Open Odin, select pit, PDA, phone, CSC files. And remember to check the re partition option
3. Connect your phone
4. Click start.

Hm, no. It's a replacement cable (cheap) which I used for my Desire, no problem with that at all. Though it might be it indeed! Will be two days before I can get the original cable.
In the meanwhile I got CWM-based Recovery v.5.0.2.6 working.. while installing cyanogenmod it goes "checking blm status", then "install from sd complete".. a bit strange and it doesn't boot into the rom but into the recovery.

Switching back to the original cable fixed the problem for me. Hope it does for you as well, try that and tell us what happened!.
Can I still use Odin then, now with CWM recovery?
You can use Mobile Odin by Chainfire (look for it in the market), it works exactly as an Odin built-in your SGS with no need for PC.

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.

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.

I forgot to post a picture of the CWM messages...it`s attached...thanks a lot

[Solved!]
Hey everyone!
I followed the Cyanogenmod guide from cm's website on how to install cm 10 on rooted att captivate from android 2.2 froyo.
I followed the guide exactly up to installing cwm recovery via heimdall on a windows 7 (heimdall wouldn't work on an xp I have so I switched to my 7) and everything worked as it said it would, however after finishing and getting the blue bar on the download mode screen, I held the vol up/down and pwr keys per the guide and the phone went to the att logo screen that it shows when you first turn it on and it just flashes that screen.
I can get into download mode still but it won't go into the options screen to hard reset or use cwm recovery.
I rooted it using the superoneclick method and I backedup with titanium.
I haven't been able to find anyone on xda or any other site with the same problem as me (everyone with a similar problem had a different version of android or something so I was afraid to try the solutions given for them.)
Please Help!! Thank you so much in advance!!

Heed all warnings about flashin bootloaders. It only takes a few seconds to flash the boot.bin and sbl.bin, but ya don't wanna interupt the flash durin that process, i.e. loose power, accidently disconnect micro usb/usb cable, etc.
Once ya have the gb boots, there is no need to flash bootloaders again.

How long should/could it take Odin to detect/recognize my captivate? I couldn't wait to try the KK4 flash, but I've waited for about 10 minutes and it's not showing anything in Odin.:\
It should only take a few seconds.
See that Captivate - PC Connection Issues...thread i linked u to in my reply a few posts up.

Well I've been up all night lol but I got everything to work!! I guess it all just clicked with me and I understood and found all the answers in threads. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Your link and Odin one click worked perfect. I think I had a problem with the drivers, that's why it wouldn't detect it. I read in another thread it could be that and I tried reinstalling the Samsung drivers but no luck. So I just switched to my windows xp where I'd never used heimdall drivers(I was on my windows 7) and did it on there, worked perfectly! I then went on to reinstall cwm and then cm 10.1.2 and I love it! Now I'm waiting for the Google play store .zip to download so I can flash it onto my i897! THANKS AGAIN!!! :thumbup:
