First off, I am in need to flash back to stock and un-install clockworkmod...
Here's the kicker...
I lost usb connection. All I get is Unknown Device now when connected to the pc (xppsp3), where it used to connect just fine. All the drivers in the world have not seem to make a difference on the pc or the laptop, the usb seems dead to the world, datawise, charging still functions.
Which means my odin oneclick is a no go.
I can ftp into the captivate so I can upload a new rom image for clockwork recovery, however, all I
can find for stock firmware is in .tar format for use with odin, or a self extracting executable to be used when/if there is usb connection.
So I guess the simplest question would be.. is there a plain ol' copy of the I897UCJI6 rom w/o odin self extractor?
Or... am I going about this completely wrong?
TIA...
Can you get your phone into download?

I don't know the answer to your question about the CWM stock package, but I have some troubleshooting things to suggest:
Does your pc allow other USB connections with other devices? If so, that likely rules out the pc as the issue.
It's possible your cable decided to head south - if you have a chance to try your phone on someone else's computer, see if you can get it to recognize the phone there.
If not, see if you can get your hands on another cable and see if you can get a connection that way.
I'm guessing you've probably tried some or all of these things, but I just thought I'd put them up to be thorough.
Been there at nauseum lengths..
Sure, I can get into download mode. Problem is phone it's an unknown device, and hence windows/linux cannot see it...using
several machine/cabling combinations...

CWM is either part of the kernel (depending on what kernel you're using) or an update.zip file on your sd card. It never actually gets flashed in any ultra permanent way. What you can do is simply flash whatever stock rom you want from cwm, then cwm will either disappear on it's own or you can just delete the update.zip on the sd card.
Be aware that if you're running a non-cm7 based 2.3 rom, you'll need to flash both bootloaders otherwise you'll end up with a permabrick. Easiest way to do that is to use odin and a rom package that includes both bootloaders for the firmware version you want. I wouldn't recommend doing it any other way, so if you're on a 2.3 rom, you should probably try to sort your usb problem first.
Please don't use such lame thread titles. They make the thread useless in a search by someone who is looking for info on a similar or same problem.

The problem lies with the captivate's usb, so I am looking for a way of getting the stock rom into it without odin. I have adbwireless installed, but odin fails to see it, however the command line does using adb connect <ip>...
Current set up is
Captivate
Darky's ROM 8.0(JL3)
Clockwork Mod Recovery is v2.5.1.2
There is a CWM Flashable version of I897UCJH7 2.1.1 located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790080&highlight=i897ucjh7
You could flash this and see if your USB comes back and if it does then go from there.
Hope it helps
I applied the update via cwm.
Now it's stuck in a bootloop to the stock recovery screen or the lame-o
att screen.
Getting back into the recovery only allows access to the stock recovery.
End of story I guess. Anyone know if a downloading jig might be the next step?

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
I had rooted my phone previously running 2.1 and yesterday decided to try cm7. (I've flashed many G1 roms but none for Captivate)
Sorry this is quite long but wanted to give as much detail as possible
I was reading and watching the guides. Installed rom manager and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.0
Rebooted the phone and tried to see if I can get into download mode by holding vol up + down and plugging the USB cable.
Once it booted tried to copy some other roms (zips) to the phone but the USB wasn't working on windows for some reason so rebooted in Linux. Phone mounted at first (for about a minute) but something happen and I lost the mount. I unplugged/plugged the usb cable but wasn't able see the phone as a drive even with fdisk.
So I ftped to the phone:
3buttonFix.zip
captivate-efsbackup.zip
cm7-captivate-initial-20110304.zip
speedmod-kernel-i897-k13c-500hz-CWM.zip
Installed 3buttonFix.zip (should let me enter download mode) from recovery, rebooted but still couldn't get in download mode.
Installed speedmod-kernel-i897-k13c-500hz-CWM.zip from recovery. Not sure if I had to do anything special like reformat the filesystem with the new kernel?
After reboot the phone gets stuck on Galaxy S sgh-i897 screen. Got back in recovery and installed captivate-efsbackup.zip and cm7-captivate-initial-20110304.zip
The cm7-captivate-initial-20110304.zip fails when trying to write the modem
'assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/modem.bin", "radio")'
I plugged the phone into another computer at that point and was able to get into "Download mode" for the first time. Odin didn't recognize the phone though. Download mode is very flaky. It starts sometimes, sometimes it doesn't (battery charger starts) even on the same port with the same cable. I have tried installing captivate drivers and/or kies on 7 different systems (5 laptops 2 desktops) but Odin never recognizes the phone and windows trows out a "USB Device Not Recognized" msg
I think my usb is not working properly but the guides how to recover assume working Download mode with Odin. Any suggestions on what to do for that? Or I guess I can download a different rom and/or kernel on my sdcard than mount the sdcard through recovery and install that way?
Any advise is appreciated as I'm not very familiar with the kernel and rom differences for captivate
Well you messed up on the instructions but that is a separate point.
I went through your post quickly so if I am saying something you grave tried I apologize
What drivers are you installing
Have you tried multiple ports
Are you using oem cord
Have you restarted your computer
Have you ever used odin before
CM7
I have used the following drivers:
SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2.zip
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe (just the usb modem driver)
2 different versions of samsung kies which include usb drivers (don't have the software versions handy but I can get them if that will help)
Ports:
Multiple computer and multiple ports. Will try few more options
Cables:
Used 3 different usb cables. 1 of them is from a BB phone. 1 of the other 2 is the one which came with the captivate (not 100% sure though)
Reboots:
4 of the 7 computers I tried on were rebooted. One version of kies requires this anyhow.
Odin:
Haven't used Odin at all. I think when the phone gets connected and odin recognizes it one of the top left blocks changes color right ? I tried to flash even when it didn't (just to make sure I wasn't missing something) and saw 0 successful / 0 failed
Do you have android sdk installed on any of the computers?
CM7
So many red flags that something wasn't right with your phone and you still tried to flash it? I just don't get it.
@Miami_Son: Yeah but i'm too thick headed - living dangerously but yeah you're right.
@mcord11758: I have android sdk installed on my linux build at home. I'll put it on a windows system at work and see if it can see the phone. Anything in particular I should do / look out for ?
At least you've got a good attitude.
I think if you have kies installed it conflicts with the samsung drivers odin uses. Try uninstalling them and flash odin.

Try this first
Sdk to install updated drivers if this fails
CM7
I've done almost the exact same thing...having the same issues. Phone would not connect to computer. Other captivates connect fine. The phone is now stuck on a boot screen and I can put it into download mode but Odin or the computer will not detect it at all. I don't think I can get into recovery mode, nor can I get into a rom...pretty much just download mode or a boot screen.
@1tontomato: Tried uninstall kies, reboot, install samsung usb drivers, reboot still don't see the phone connected in odin
@mcord11758 The sdk is trying to download the repository directly and I'm behidn a proxy server at work. I'll update tonight, it will be most likely very late by the time I get home.
@kwhee07 Yeah sux to see a download mode but not being able to download. I can get at least into recovery so I guess I can at least flash something that way. The ports really make difference, I've seen many would just charge the phone and some will get your phone into download mode at least. Try a different pc and cable if you can.
I have the sdk...I've tried about everything else I can find. Is there a possible method of fixing this via the SDK? I feel like if I could make the computer force [odins] data out the usb port, it would work, the phone would be in download mode awaiting data....but I cant get odin to see it
There is a package you can install in sdk for usb drivers. Dl it
Open odin
Get into dl mode
Unknown device pops up
Click on it
choose custom drivers
Navigate to c drive/program files/android/extras/google add ons/usb click ok (the path may be slightly different) the computer should try to install the correct drivers
If it works odin should now recognize your device. If not I got nothing
CM7
Got the USB drivers from the SDK and tried to force them when it sees an unknown device, but I get "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware"
I tried to force it to use the samsung drivers also but without success.
Is it possible to just download a rom or kernel and update my current state? So that the phone at least boots. I can install stuff through recovery. Download mode is nice and everything but I'm giving up on it, don't have any more ideas to try
I have been trying to see data on my sdcard from ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.0 I go to
Mounts and Storage -> mount /mnt/sdcard
Install *.zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard
I don't see /mnt at all I try and go under sd/ but it says No files found.

Under mounts and storage do you see the option for mount usb this might be able to force your computer to see it as a removable drive. If out does you should be able to copy another rom to the sd and flash. This may or may not work for you because you might still need to repartition which you only do with odin. Take this advise with extreme caution I really think you need odin If you do decide to flash another rom, use cognition because Dg's includes the fixed boot.bin. Probably because so many people use the one click and kill their button combos and don't know it. Other devs don't include it in their roms, because it's dangerous to over write something that doesn't need to be overwritten. Good luck

I tried already the usb mount option from recovery at home and now at work also on few different systems/ports including a linux machine. I don't see the drive connected.
My only option left is to get somehow the sdcard mounted and install a rom from there. Or maybe just repartitioning/changing the filesystem might fix the getting stuck problem.
I ended up bringing my phone back to att, and they said that the 1010 batch was under product advisory..they exchanged my phone with almost no questions asked.
Now i have a 1008 and am running CM7
Finishing up the story in case it might help somebody in the feature.
I called AT&T to get my phone replaced and it turns out it has liquid dmg. There's a little white sticky that turns red when there's liquid dmg. Mine was pink but wasn't wait so no warranty for me. Turns out most of the time people get liquid dmg is if they leave the phone in the bathroom or close to the kitchen's sink, which is kinda bs but whatever.
I've tried few more times. Tried even on a Mac and on a Linux system (using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265 )
I was about to give up and go seek one of the 'professional rooters' but last thing I tried was to use an 'air duster' and clean the usb port on my phone. After that Odin was able to see my phone. The connection was dropping on/off but it successfully finished a flash.
Not sure if I should even try to put another rom or the official froyo update but at least for now I'm up and running
Thanks all
Does anyone know how to force files on to a I896, I am using winXP and I keep getting "error device not recognized" I think I have bad NV_DATA or something to that effect, I can get in to download and recovery mode(computer/phone on screen) ADB, Odin, fail to see the device.
I think I will try Ubantu, after that I am not sure if I need to JTAG or UART to flash software that will let me boot up.
I did a TIBU back up of my stock rom, is there anyway to find the info I need from there and if so can someone tell me
Have u tried reinstalling ur drivers? Uninstall 1st ,reboot ur pc and install again.
Try connecting to a different USB Port on your PC, and reinstall the drivers.

you need to do some basic troubleshooting, because your post is all over the place. none of these things correlate with each other, and you have not described your actual problem.....
you also havent indicated what 'stock' rom you were on.
2.1? 2.2? 2.3?
Well I loaded Ubuntu and used Heimdall one-click softbrick, I got my phone to boot up now.
My problem I believe is that my CRC file does not end with RWS or something like that, I think Nick had a post on that issue. that is what I want to look at next. was *#1234#?
I may of had a permission issue with the drivers on XP, I did notice a few errors when loading drivers and running programs.
So now I am crawling through linux learning, I think I will need a .tar.gz file for a sch-i896 that will install original bootloaders, I guess that is a 512 pit file, and stock rom with Heimdall packager or find a way to run Odin packaged roms in Ubuntu.
Hello!
I am a complete noobie when it comes to rooting androids/installing new roms and so on but I for the life of me cannot get my head around this and I keep running into the same problem no matter which way I try.
I attained this phone from a Chinese (and funnily enough bought the phone in China too) friend of mine after she decided to buy herself an Iphone. Before she gave it to me she factory reset it and it came to me stock:
Model Number: GT-I9220
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: N7000XXKJ6
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566
Build number: ANZHI.COM.AX918
So to start with one of the issues is that I cannot seem to get Windows to pick up my phone as a USB device no matter what I try. I've tried downloading the latest USB drivers from the Samsung Website, installing KIES to manage the device but nothing seems to work it simply will not pick it up as a USB device. I've tried multiple computers too so it would seem to me that there is something wrong with the phone, perhaps she damaged the connector port on it, it does however charge with no problems when connected via USB. This of course stops me from using ODIN or any forms of rooting that require it to be connected through USB. I've also followed the steps on the phone to tell it to connect via USB in the Wireless menu under "USB Utilities" and under the Applications menu for USB development support.
So that aside I was glad to see that there were other options for rooting/installing a new ROM but again I seem to run into issues that I can't explain.
First off, I struggle to find the correct rom for the kernel of my phone anywhere and when I did manage to find it, it was hosted on the HotFile website which has been taken down because of legal issues.
Second is, I've tried the other methods like the "ExynosAbuse" which tells me that my version doesn't need to be rooted and when I try simply installing a new rom (seeing as it seems I do not need to root my device) I keep getting the follow error:
E: failed to verify the whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
I get these errors for EVERYTHING that I try to install through rebooting my phone into recovery mode and "installing update from external SD." Currently the only method I have for getting the files across to my phone from my PC is through blue tooth and then manually moving them onto the SD card.
The above errors also happen when I try to install the "Clockwork Recovery Mod" by unzipping the file and running it whilst actually logged into the phone and telling it to do a recovery installation.
So basically I am at a loss as to how I can install a new custom rom on my phone, so far everything I have tried just doesn't work.
Perhaps I'm just too green and missing some fundamental step, but I've been reading/googling now for the last 2 days and it just doesn't look hopeful.
Anyone out there able to shed a little more light into this for me?
Thanks!
You have a Gingerbread version of recovery and it does not flash zip file from recovery as you already tried. You will need to update to ICS or above to use that method of rooting. Unfortunately the imo the only way is to get the USB port working so you can either update the rom or install a recovery using Odin unless some other member has to add.
Have you tried a different USB cable?

Yeah I've tried several different USB cables but still no luck.
So basically I'm screwed if I cannot get the USB to function?
Anyone got any ideas or can I pretty much just discard the phone if I can't get it to connect via USB?
Hate to post again but I'm sorta desperate, I need to know if there is something that I can with the phone or not.
Thanks!
When you try to connect to PC, if there is some action triggered by windows asking for driver somethingvthen it is driver problem. If there is no action from window then usb cable or port. You can also try to check in window device manager.
May want to try to clean usb port or look for a technician who can replace the port.
Btw, there seems to be a temporary cwm.zip which will flash and then it help you to flash proper kernel or rom. That cwm.zip is dangerous if you are using ics or jb rom. But GB rom should be fine. That is all I can think of.
Sent from my phone.
I don't think the temp cwm.zip will also be accepted by the GB recovery and will come as signature failed.
Thanks for the responses, I think the port is damaged so how because it just won't even respond in windows but it does however charge fine.
Anyways I'll look at getting a replacement port on it!
Thanks again!
Hi,
I actually have a really really weird issue with my I9000.
I was trying to recover it fro the known mmcblk0p1 issue.
So I went back to stock firmware even if I knew it would bootloop. All good.
After some days I discovered that I can access either stock recovery and download mode, but the last one won't connect to my computer!!!
I tried a lot of things: changing cable, usb ports, os, computer etc.... nothing works cause the problem is inside the i9000.
So, I'm now thinking in flashing something from the 3e stock recovery, which is the only option I have before a trash the phone...
What do I have to flash? Kernel? Can somebody link me a solution?
Thanx and Happy easter!!!1

Hi Foongaz,
Have you tried using the latest version of Odin? The bootloop is likely caused from a problem with the installation of the rom/kernel or from forgetting to factory reset and wiping cache.
Hope this helps

Hi,
Thanx for the answer.
I tried also Odin 3.09 and 3.07.
My problem now it's not the bootloop but the download mode which is not recognized from the computer.
Odin and Heimdall are probably not a usable tool here.
The only thing which works is the stock recovery, so I may have to install something via update.zip

The only thing which works is the stock recovery, so I may have to install something via update.zip

I see that there is a problem with the i9000 where odin can not detect the device once your phone has been flashed several times. This has happened to my phone before and heimdall (via cmd command) seemed to do the trick. I haven't tried flashing a rom via the stock recovery as the phone needs to be rooted beforehand. You can try renaming zip and flash it but I doubt that this will fix your problem. Try heimdall first, download the latest heimdall suite. Make sure you have the latest usb drivers for your phone using zadig. Then download the latest semaphore kernel which is a .tar folder and inside should have zImage. Move the zImage file into the extracted heimdall folder. Follow the guide over at Cyanogenmod: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd

Same problem as Odin and Heimdall (suite and frontend):
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.
This happens with three computers: macbook, imac and parallels windows with odin. None of them can recognize I'm in download mode. WTF....
I'm thinking about throw the phone or maybe buying a i9000 broken glass one.
BTW I tried also to rename a .zip file but nothing works, I guess also for the mmc01 problem...
I'm lost....

Can you provide some pictures or screenshots on the problems you are experiencing? Your phone is probably screwed but I will try my best to help you anyway.

I guess this is the only pic which makes sense to provide.
As u can see, I can wipe and reset to data factory, but i cannot format internal SD.
Update.zip won't install for this reason of course....
My last thought is: and if I format an Ext SD with these partitions?
-1 reiser
-1 fat fot OS
-1 fat fot update.zip
will the stock recovery let me install the OS on the external SD?
thanx
A
And here of course the pic...

I know I may sound a little stupid here, but if you have an SD card, try reflashing Stock firmware after removing your SD Card through Heimdall. That fixed my problem. Also, You could always try going to the nearest Samsung Service Center. They always fix your stuff. They'll fix your issue for $3
Before you take it to the nearest Samsung Service Center try this, remove battery and simcard then hold buttons for download mode then replace battery while holding buttons.
EDIT: sorry didn't read all the post, so you can get into download mode but your computer doesn't recognize it.
