Hello Everybody!
I've had a lot of kind of firmware in my SGS, at the momment I've a Jimmy's/Hamster's lastest Rom but the problem is common with all of Roms. I've a problem with the recognition of my SGS in my computers, it was working fine and suddenly it's not working. I don't know why and I've tried with a lot of kind of drivers... the result is the same, the device is not recognized by Windows 7 and XP (the laptop).I've tried with KIES and Mass Storage Mode but nothing
Somebody know how to fix it o any idea?
I'm starting to think my mobile plug is broken or something like that, but when you plug the wire to the mobile in all modes, it seems working fine in the mobile screen, but in the computer is not recognized.
Thank you very much everybody...
Not an expert, but I found a similar problem and there has been a couple of solutions;
a) Connecting to a laptop which was using both USB's, but the power used by the other slot was too much for the phone to be recognised. Even though the phone was connecting and charging it would not be recognised in Kies. I removed the rest of the USB's unplugged phone reconnected and it was found.
b) Downloaded the latest KIES from samsung webpage, and installed. I closed Kies, then connected the phone and it came up as a USB device. Then I started Kies and was recognised.
Hope it helps...
I've just update my issue with more information, but I tested both possible solutions that you told me but it didn't solve my problem.
There are more information here, thanks in advance
I have a SGS:
GT-I9000
Fw: 2.2.1
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 hardcore speedmod-k12g-256hz #50
Build number: Hamster Roms V6.2
PDA: I9000XXJPY
PHONE: I9000XXJPY
CSC:I9000OXAJPY
Build Info: 2010. 12
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 SpeedMod ULFK
The problem is that my PC doesn't recognize my SGS.
I've the last KIES version (I've tested download only the drivers, but i could get nothing...)
I've tested in two differents PCs, Windows 7 and XP but nothing.
I was testing a lot of ROMs but really I don't know when it stopped working. I think the last update with ODIN, when it was working, was to update to SO_zImage_opt_ext_root_JPM-JP6_V4_1_OC but I'm not sure. Later I've update my SGS from CMW many times.
I've tried to access by Mass Storage and Samsung Kies but nothing...
The are some extra symphtoms:
When I connect to the charger, in my SGS is activate automatically the MTP application for KIES.
When I connect to my PC, I receive the next warning: USB Device Not Recognized: one of the USB devices attached to this computes has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it....
I've update my last firmware wit WIPE option from CMW, tested with and without LAGFIX but nothing.
I think that something is wrong about the compatibility or updating proccess, but I can't access to connect my UBS in my computer, neither to ODIN with DOWNLOAD mode because my PC doesn't recognize it.
Are there any way to get my PC recognized again my SGS?
Are there any way to know if the problem is anything incompatible with Kernel version and Firmware, or anything like that?
Is normal my SCS being different that PDA or PHONE?
If somebody knows, please help me.
Thank you very much
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 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.
my phone info is this:
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband version: I9000TUBJH1
Kernel version: 2.6.29 / [email protected] #2
Build number: ECLAIR.UBJI1
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 ?
THanks
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.

thanks scubadude for your reply. Yes, tried 2 x cables, 3 x laptops and all the USB ports on the laptops, now trying on a clean XP , AV disabled PC still no go.
I know the Odin 3 file process and so on and I kind of know that I can't flash GB on top of ICS that is why I attempt to flash stock in Odin but I guess I was just impatient to wait for the stupid Samsung driver to be installed and made a stupid mistake...

I guess you have tried going back in recovery mode using the 3-button combo but that is also not working?
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..

Try using Heimdall for mac or linux. It does the same as Odin with no drivers.
Also try cleaning the contacts in usb port on the phone with a small brush(this worked for me when I had similar problems).

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.
btw , I have also already use Android SDK to install the Google USB driver....see attached.
Had a similar situation.
Eventually used EZbase's "Odin" version and it worked using the drivers he linked to.

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.

Hi...
I'm trying to root my i9000 2.3.6 xxjvu...
I'm using odin and i follow the [HOWTO] but odin stuck on setup connection, for hours...
Is somebody able to help me?
Thank you
which version of Odin are you using? maybe try a different version from the one you are using.
Also make sure KIES is not running & kill any KIES processes.
The 1.85 and the 1.82, i also tried on 1.30, and there is no Kies processus running...
what are you trying to flash?
are you flashing the correct file?
try downloading the file again.
try disabling any antivirus/firewalls
are correct drivers installed?
possibly try a different usb port & usb cable?
I'm trying to root it, with CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS
I'll try with another usb cable and port...
Another cable and port don't fix it...
Not sure then.
Usual issues are drivers, usb cable, usb port, kies processes running in background, version of odin.
Have you downloaded cf-root again?
If you can try another pc. If that doesn't work then i'm not sure maybe someone else can help.

Well rooting flashing phone is pretty easy and its easy to find out whats the problem.
Ok when you put in the phone with usb cable and start odin you should see the odin to find your phone.. if it does not its usb driver problem.. I tried to get it working on windows xp and damn its almost impossible to get it working with odin. Using windows 7 it works quite easily. Only once i had to do some driver fighting before odin found my phone..
Just start there and if odin finds your phone it should really work.. You can pm me if I've forgotten this thread and not answering in a day or so. Just tell me whats the problem exacly and what os you are using.
OH AND... if you got a older phone that has not been updated with kies the download mode does not work without the kies update.
