My phone was hardbricked when i screwed up with the latest Serendipity install. It boot loops at the white AT&T world phone screen. I am unable to get it into download mode with out a jig. However, once i do have it in download mode, my computer will not recognize the phone. It keeps viewing it as an unknown device.
I dont know if this is related to it not showing up using Odin 3 one click downloader. Either way, i need to get it back to stock.
I have the drivers already, in fact ive reinstalled them once or twice trying to get this to work, any ideas?
That's not a hard brick. Search the already existing threads in the forums, of which there are many. No need to start another thread on it. Try a different USB port on your PC, make sure you're running Odin as an administrator before you put the phone in download mode and plug it into your PC.

Have you tried installing drivers and then reinstalling drivers manually from designgears thread in dev?
SIGNATURE : Life is like a box of captivates, you never know if your gps will work
so im pretty much able to get it into download mode any time i want. but i cannot get my computer to view it. No matter what USB port i use, it still says unknown/unrecognized device. I see you mentioned something about manually installing drivers, how would i do that?
Try a different PC. Although, it sounds like a driver issue. What version of windows are you on?
sent from my Gingerbread Cappy using Tapatalk from somewhere on AT&T's ****ty network.
I know others have had issues with i9000 ROMS not being recognized once their phone goes in download mode. Here is a whole thread about it.
yeah i checked through that whole thread, it wasnt any help.
My comp is 32 bit windows 7. ive tried to connect my phone to a 64 bit windows 7, and a mac, and still havnt gotten ****. Im getting really frustrated. What are my options when i simply cannot find a way to get Odin to view the phone? All it says is that my USB device has malfunctioned and it wont work.
EDIT1
okay. ive discovered that if i plug in my USB while the ATandT logo is looping, my computer will see it as an external storage device. THEN i jig it into download mode, and plug it into the same port, and it will no longer see the device as unknown, but instead calls it 'androidtest,' although it still doesnt show up in Odin3. hmmmmm could this be a lead into getting it to show up? Every other attempt ive done has ended up with it just calling it unknown device
EDIT2
Searching through the device manager shows that the phone no longer shows up under universal serial bus controllers, but instead 'libusb (WinUSB) devices', under the name Androidtest. But as i said before, still no luck getting it to show up with Odin, either the one click or the choose all the components version. Any thoughts?

ive downloaded and uninstalled and redownloaded all sorts of different captivate drivers. it always still just said 'usb device malfunctioned.' i belive at this point, i have every driver uninstalled, hoping that windows itself would grab the right one. . ..
idea: ill reinstall captivate drivers. . . then ill do the usb while atandt is booting and THEN use the same usb port for the download mode. Without drivers, this is how i got to the 'androidtest' deal. perhaps with drivers installed, it will do something different.

Hi Rick. Try to re-install samsung usb drivers. during this time, take out the battery from the phone. once finished installing the drivers, put back the battery into the phone. Go into downloading mode. Fire up odin, put in the necessary firmwares + pit files. Once done, then CONNECT your phone to the usb port of your computer.
Hope it's okay.
Edit: Let's hope that it is the computer usb drivers are corrupted. Alterntively, if you still can't do it, try it on another pc.
Nope. I was rebooting it to flash XXJPC to it, but couldnt do so because it was saying that USB message and wouldnt detect it. So I went into recovery, did a factory reset, and now it wont boot.
Another computer does the same thing *tears*
*BUMP*
Lets try a different route. I will pay a generous sum of money to anyone who offers to and does manage to fix this for me?
rick, looking at this, if your usb is not recognised, it is either the pc or the phone usb port might be damaged.
if it is a hardware issue, then use the bounty to get it fix.
I was at that same point with my vibrant. After failed attempts of getting into download mode using buttons, here's what I did.
Download and install samsung usb drivers and android sdk.
Plug into the computer and use adb to get into download mode (adb reboot download).
Then flash with odin.
Doing that worked for me when nothing else would. Try it ?

I can get into download mode just fine.....my pc just doesnt recognize the usb device. tried 3 differente pc's, 2 running win7 and one running xp.
Did you install usb drivers on each of the machines?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
I installed the samsung USB driver executable. and I also tried to use those drivers that it installs to manually update the "unknown USB device" in device manager, but they won't take.
Try uninstalling all drivers, then stick a MicroSD in your phone before plugging it into the usb.
Assuming you have Samsung Kies in your PC, try to upgrade it at 1.5.1.10074_45.
How long do you wait the boot?? The first boot after flash is very long, wait at least 5 minutes with flashing "S".
I did not just flash anything. My phone got really hot and laggy (as I was using it while charging it via USB port) and so I rebooted phone in an attempt to resolve the lag. when I did, it would not go past the WHITE Samsung Galaxy S I9000 screen, does not get to the flashing S screen.

if i understood you correctly, you have two separate problems:
a) your phone does not boot up
b) your phone is not recognized by any computer when plugged in
could be a coincidence, but probably is not. i'm guessing your bootloader got screwed up somehow. if it is a coincidence, it could be that your usb port on the phone is effed, or your usb cable is dead. try first using a different cable and see if your phone can be recognized by any computer. perhaps then you can go into download mode and reflash.
also, have a look at this post, might help you (although, if your usb is effed, there's not much point in trying any solution that involves your phone being connected to a computer): http://androidforums.com/780720-post3.html
EDIT: also, have your tried the obvious stuff, like pulling battery?
I ve seen many threads with the white screen problem ... it has in most cases been the drivers ... you desinstall all drivers from pc using Kies option for resinstall the drivers ... then you pull the battery off few sec (give it a min or two) then you get to download mode and you flash the beast ... dont connect your phone before launching odin or else it will not be recognized ...
for the few other people who didn't manage to fix it ... it was a hardware failure
That post you linked, is worth a try. But its for a motorola.....Where do I get my SGS bootloader to use instead?
ohh you were implying to try to use the motorola usb drivers?

I never said anything about a white screen. and I am not uneducated on flashing SGS, or using Odin. Far from it. My phone was first showing USB symbol when it wasnt plugged into USB port, then phone started running really hot while charging and got really bloated like it was overheating. So I rebooted and its now force closing at the first boot animation. I can get into download mode and recovery, but will not recognize in any of the 3 computers all running different versions of windows on them, with either of my USB cables that I tried.

Try Odin 1 Click. You'll find it on here somewhere. It wil take you back to stock 2.1 Eclair. Then you can READ ABOUT flashing other ROMs and proceed from there.

im sorry but most of us can't even help you IF we want to The users of windows based PC's are greater in this forums compared to Macs. if there is drivers for mac, are they installed?
Since you only have a Mac, I would suggest installing Windows through Boot-Camp (included in Mac OSX) on a different partition. I read Galaxy S doesn't have drivers support for Mac OSX Leopart or later, not entirely sure if its true though, but I do have a MacBook Pro and had no success in finding a way to connect my phone to it by USB... Good thing I had a regular old Windows PC Desktop.
Then as Jack Man said, use Odin 1-Click found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
to reset your phone completely to factory settings, relatively simple to do as long as you read the instructions on that post. =)
Well since you only have a Mac and hiemidal is not see your phone i think your only option is to find a friend with a PC and give the Odin 1 click a try.

Sir, just in case, did you reboot after installing drivers and BEFORE you tried connecting the device? Also, did you check if Odin detected your device when its connected in Download mode?
yes, and thats what in trying to do, to get odin to detect my phone in download mode...
Ok, is your phone detected by the operating system? If it does, then try using this other Odin thread instead, this one however will restore it to Stock Samsung Galaxy with 2.3 Gingerbread.

Don't have to follow the rest of the instructions to root it just in case, but see if that version of Odin detects your phone.

What USB port are you using if ots a desktop computer. There are known issues using front usb, plug into the usb on the back of the tower.

Hi all , i hope someone can help : i was installing team hacksungs ics rom last night it seemed to be going ok at first but then got stuck at the animated splash screen (1 hr 45 mins) i pulled the battery and when i tryed to get into cwm recovery the phone keeps just bootlooping after showing google logo , i can get into download mode but neither odin or heimdall can find my phone and windows reports unrecognised usb device,heimdall reports- ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12. I have unbranded i9000. All drivers present and usb cable(s) checked and are ok....thanks in advance for any help
I have the exact problem and situation
Is the phone bricked for good?
You might need the drivers listed in the TH ICS thread. Before changing the drivers try plugging your phone into a different USB port
You might want to try a different computer, the libusb errors are common and are usually solved by using a different computer (I have seen those errors while flashing IPhones, they were resolved after reformatting or using another computer[I'm not saying that that is the only way of dealing with libusb issues, I just didnt bother with em after I found out that a fresh start/system fixes em]). Also, if you are into linux, try a linux distro on your computer and see if Heimdall works from there.
Good Luck
guys i have had the same problem on this phone. To be honest I am not sure I wanna stay on ics anymore alone because of this issue. Nothing wrong the phone is great but the driver problem is flat out pathetic when **** hits the fan.
Here is how I solved my problem. I installed and uninstalled and restarted my PC so many many times. Stuck my USB cable into multiple ports. If that didn't solve my problem i Installed and uninstalled the Samsung drivers (without kies).
Played around with device manager when it said the phone is not recognized by uninstalling and removing phone from USB cable and replugging . I installed the android sdk USB drivers and tried upgrading the not properly installed drivers with them (which I think hasnt helped much to be honest) .
All in all what I am trying to say is......that I was so ambitious trying to get it to run that at the end i got it to work after many many tries. With many tries I mean I was trying this repetitive process from 3 am to 7:30 am and it DID NOT WORK. I went to bed. Next day I tried fixing it using repeating the whole process from 5 pm up to around 830 pm.
I dunno how I got it to run at the end. All I know is the time I invested trying to get it to run were nearly 10hours of repetitive installing and uninstalling. Sadly that is the only tip I can give you. It seems to me as though it just randomly feels like working out of its ass.
I even brushed the USB port of my phone with alcohol and a brush. As mentioned above trying another PC is worth a try. I tried my sister's laptop without success though and even formatted my desktop for the sake of it.
The last thing I recall doing before getting this phone to get recognized on my PC was as follows: I charged it for an hour and then booted the phone in download mode and decided to try it again. And bam it worked.
But do give this method a try.
1. Plug phone to PC
2. Uninstall your device(exclamation mark) via device manager and then unplug your phone
3. Uninstall sgs drivers
4. Reboot PC
5. Install sgs drivers
6. Plug phone in download mode in again
7. If you get error, device not installed properly then open device manager and uninstall the exclamation mark again
8. Unplug phone once uninstalled.
9. plug it in again
Also guys, just out of curiosity what is your OS and is it 32 or 64 bit?
Good luck
P.s: I know this post isn't helping specifically but I believe the only solution is playing around with the drivers and device manager until it decides to work. I might install another rom (Ive only experienced this with ics so far. And this seems to be a common issue apparently. Does this happen to people on 2.3.x as well ?) tomorrow cause this issue is too time consuming should it occur again. Only had it with nushor kernel though.

Had I not been dumb ol' Curious George and flashed the wrong backup kernel with SGS Kernel Flasher, I would not be in this mess. The phone is stuck on a loop at the AT&T logo. I can't get into recovery, but I can get into Download mode just fine using power+volume down. I have searched the forums, and tried everything suggested and everything I can think of, and my last resort was to start a new thread. I've tried on four different computers, a Vista, an XP, and two Windows 7 machines, all USB ports, none of which have worked. I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. I've gotten it to where it will recognize as mass storage if I plug it in while it is looping. It even installs all Samsung/Android USB drivers. But I can't access the mass storage, it just tells me to insert a disk into drive X. And once I boot into Download mode, it's an Unknown device. And since Windows will not recognize it, Odin can't see it. So my poor Captivate's been collecting dust for at least a week now while I've been using my old phone. At this point I'm pretty desperate and any help would be appreciated.
I'll ask the dumb question: have you tried heimdall? If not, gone it a try.
You may also want to try heimdall from a Linux live usb environment.

Sorry, forgot to mention that the cable is not the problem as I have tried a different cable with the same results. And also used my cable with a different phone and that worked perfectly.
As for Heimdall, I'll download and try it as soon as I can, but since the computer itself can't recognize the phone, won't Heimdall not be able to pick it up either?
Last resort, Think about applying the unbrickable mod or have Mobile Tech Videos JTAG it. The unbrickable mod is very cheap, and relativly easy if you have knowledge of soldering. JTAG from Mobile Tech Videos is 40$ USD, but they can get your phone back to you in as little as 5 days from the day you sent your phone out. both are good options, if you are unable to get download mode working.

Ummm Why do you need Odin instead of heimdall?
Alright well I downloaded Heimdall but I can't install the drivers because the phone shows up as an Unknown Device in Zadig.
This is list that Zadig found:
Unknown Device
USB Composite Device (Composite Parent)
USB Human Interface Device (Interface 0)
USB Human Interface Device (Interface 1)
Pretty sure its usb composite device
It's the Unknown Device. And the USB Composite Parent shows up even when the phone's not connected.

Hi All,
here is the story, I was on MilkyS GB rom, made a ndriod backup, then flashed dark knight 2.1 then wiped , flashed DK3 w/ Semaphone. Today, I was going to flash stock JVU via Odin but while I was charging up the phone I already noticed Windows was showing error saying something like ' USB device is malfunction cannot install' , so I thought that must be a DK3 bug for not able to access to the SD card, so I did not care.
Went ahead and tried to flash Odin, sure enough Odin did not detect my phone, so did Google and found 'Gnex USB drivers' which by the way took forever to install, while waiting , I thought I might as well just go back to MilkyS GB by using the backup I have done before, so I went in recovery tried to restore, but not successful, so I went ahead and choose reboot....now I am stuck at the boot screen, pull battery, I can go into download mode , however, Odin cannot detect the phone so I still can NOT flash anything.... (just now tried all kinds of drivers I can find, CM7 USB driver, Google usb_driver_r04-windows, even installed the drivers within Andriod SDK, still can't detect the phone..)
Any suggestions ? am I out of luck ? by the way, tried installing drivers in 3 x different laptops and with different USB port on them...
Have you tried a different USB cable? Also ensure KIES is not running & that there are no KIES processes running in the background. Make sure no other usb devices connected to the pc. I've also heard Windows 7 64bit can be the issue sometime but not sure so maybe try a windows xp pc.
Also try disabling any antivirus/firewall on the pc. I had this is issue but for me restarting pc and using a different USB port did the trick.
Should you figure out the USB issue you can't actually restore a Gingerbread backup from ICS.
You will need to get a stock rom (darky resurection should also work) and flash with ODIN. You will need a 3 file stock rom (pda,phone,csc) & 512 pit file.
From here you will need to select all files into relevant places, check repartion and run ODIN. Sometimes I've also needed to flash a second time with just the 3 files and repartition unchecked.

Odin isn't recognizing your phone but does windows recognize it? If you uninstall all samsung drivers and then try to connect your phone to PC does it ask for installation of drivers? .. if it doesn't that means your phone's usb could have become faulty.. (just speculating)
Or you can try to use Heimdall instead of Odin.. maybe that'll work for you..

Same happened with all my laptops featuring a intel chipset. My desktop with nVidia chipset is the only one that detected it.

thanks tried Heimdall Frontend suite 1.3.1 , also tried Zadig.exe included in the package, the computer still does not detect the phone in download mode.

Try using Heimdall for linux. The windows version depends on drivers while the linux does not need drivers.
Also try turning USB-debugging on. Some people report that this is needed for download mode, though I don't see how this can make a difference as the OS is not loaded when using download mode.
If this doesn't work I think you have a hardware problem.
EDIT: Don't use WM-ware etc for the above. I think an Ubuntu live CD will be fine.

Same predicament
In the exact same predicament, was on MIUIv4_I9000_2.3.23_v1.1...
screwed up trying to go back to GB rom, can get to download mode,
but stuck there. Tried Kies and all other drivers. Tried Odin, nothing.
Installed Ubuntu, tried Heimdall, all for not.
Guess I have to send it back to Virgin....
me sad !!

My SGS is past warranty.
Virgin sent me to a Samsung repair shop in ville St-Laurent.
They're charging me 50$ to reflash, extra 25 for 1 day service
Getting my baby back 10 am tomorrow... Whoohooo !!
