It's not recognized when the phone is on? Seeing as you posted this topic using your phone I assume so lol. Have you tried restarting your computer?
You can download the correct drivers here.

Make sure you are using the oem usb cable. I had the same problem, changed cables and it worked
some cheap cables are for charging ... bt headsets and other stuff the data cables dont connect, its just for power.

You gotta make sure that your usb port is directly connected to your motherboard (usually back of your computer).
same usb port that has always worked. ive tried them all by now anyway
now i cant tell you how this helped but... i downloaded drivers to a different computer odin crashed while flashing reflashed and im 100% stock atm. Didnt do ANYTHING to my computer plugged it in and its working.

lolol
Duno what happened but I'm glad it worked out for you
I'm having the same problem with my captivate after flashing REDROM. It won't recognize it if I have USB debugging turned on...
i have a theory... were you on a GB or other i9000 based rom/kernel???
well, im still having a problem getting my computer to recognize the phone, i have to mess with it for a a while to get it to work. i really want to flash anew 2.3.3 rom but without being able to get everything working right im stuck in 2.1
is this a problem with my cord or the connection on my phone? or something weird with my phone after flashing it a lot. its currently back to odin stock, i have been trying to master clear it with no luck

continiuum miui and cyanogen mod are the only things ive tried to flash
well it looks like i'm done. my phone will not show up on my computer and its currently bricked, although i have no issue getting it to download mode i cant do anything with it. unless someone knows some magic, looks like im downgrading to my gf's 4 year old busted up BB
Guys, this problem while connecting to the PC body is stupidly charging .... Even in the download mode Odin does not see a body that could be? Connect other Cappy-all OK.

it must be a powered usb hub, on my buddies laptop only 1 out of 4 usb ports saw his phone.
if you can get into download mode you arent bricked.
try installing i9000 drivers, or try another computer.
I came up with this a while back. Could very well be the same issue.
Let me start by saying I'm flash happy, and everyone that knows me personally, tells me to just quit jacking with my phone. NOT A CHANCE! I'm on my 3rd Cappy and shouldn't have ever exchange it again. I only had to in the beginning, because I was a newbie and had not know enough, but to get me in trouble.
I presume that this should work on all Windows OS's. I personally am running Vista Enterprise x86.
My symptoms:
Plug in phone to the usb and it there was about a 15% chance off being able to mount to usb, and Windows recognizing as a mass storage device. I tried un-installing drivers and re-installing and it would work some of the time, until the point came when parts of the driver install would fail. Then to the point when it was just completely unrecognizable. I thought I had it fixed because it seemed intermittent. In the middle of flashing to stock, something interrupted communication between the pc and my phone. Restarted the phone and attempted the flash again. Got a little farther and froze again. I had to use another pc that I had never connected my phone to before and I was able to use my jig to trigger download mode, because no buttons combinations would allow it into download mode.
This got me thinking that it was specific to my pc and not my cable or my phone.
My resolution:
I went straight to the registry and went to find. I deleted every entry that came up for "i897" and "i9000" excluding what was listed in the system volume information, as I didn't have permissions to remove any keys. I didn't keep count, but I probably deleted 300-400 registry keys that pointed to my phone. It seems as if with each developers rom that I had flashed, there was an entry for a different device. Don't quote me on that, because it is just my personal consensus. I also un-installed the samsung drivers, the unknown device driver, kies software, and anything associated with samsung. I noticed that next to all of the i9000 instances, the hex key for me started with 1000ee. So I also searched for the first part of that key trying to ensure that all instances of the device. Lastly, I deleted the samsung folder from program files.
I installed the samsung drivers package commonly listed in all of the other threads for x86 operating systems. I plugged in my phone and watched as each and every driver installed successfully. Keep in mind different drivers are installed depending on if you have usb debugging on/off, and the options for if the preferences on you phone are set to media, storage, or kies. I have multiple usb ports, however testing has shown me that, for me and my setup, I can plug into the port that I used when installing the drivers the final time, I am able to connect consistently. Earlier today, I tried to plug into a different usb port and it was an unknown device. I am led to believe, this is because I didn't un-install the unknown device on this particular port.
If you intend to work in the registry, please remember to always back it up first. You can always restore.
Hopefully my findings can help you as they did me. Happy flashing and I would like to thank the community for the dedication to assisting each other and the developers, for making flashing, better than crack cocaine. Flashing rom's doesn't make you twitch near as much as a crackhead.
Well since you can't use your phone you should sell it to me

My phone is screwed and I can't enter recovery mode as it will just boot loops when I do the 3 buttons combo. Used to be able to get into recovery mode without any issue before though.
I can't boot my phone too. But as much as I know, my phone is safe as long as it can go into Download Mode. Reflash to stock ROM seems to be the option but with any computer, the error USB not recognized occurs. I cannot get any computers in this world to recognize my phone.
Sent it to repairs in some local stores, they are unable to figure it out too. Anyone can tell me what to do?
so you have tried every PC in the world ?? that must of been time-consuming.
have you been into device manager and check what it says under your USB connection ?
what ROM was you using before this happened as many custom ROMs now use nexus s drivers. perhaps you could try those ??
I was using stock deodexed JVK. Not really but I have tried every possible computers I could come by. lol.
JJEgan suggested USBDeview to me but I failed to understand what he was trying to explain to me.
I haven't went to check out device manager but I have a feeling my phone isn't samsung anymore lol. somewhat like a wipe out?
i dont know what USBDeview is. but im sure they will be some sort of tutorial on google.
press the reset button of doom, its under the back cover between the camera and speaker.
if you dont fancy your chances then just try the nexus drivers. if they have changed (which some roms change them from samsung drivers) then that could be why your phone is not detected.
try also cleaning the USB lead, check there are no bent pins, cuts to the cord, dust in the connector. same goes for the female on your device.
If I press the reset button, what's gonna happen.
the clue is in the name lol
my phone gets screwed up even more? haha. So my only option now is to try the Nexus S driver?

exactly. thought everything would be fine if i send them for repairs, but none of them who are supposed to repair my phone figure anything out. obviously there is another issue worse than SGS being bricked.
By the way, would you try giving a shot by installing the Nexus Drivers and let me know if it works? My phone is still in the shop with people trying to figure it out.
i already had these drivers installed yday :S thru the sdk manager,that was when my pc detected my phone,odin detected it,i goto flash,n boom ,all gone,so i assume the drivers r still there but my phone isnt gettin detected no matter what,
il b goin to my frnds place in a while,who had his galaxy bricked n fixed,lets c what hez got 4 me.....hope for the best ,il let u no anyway
alright thanks. would like to hear updates from you. when mine is figured out, i would update it here too : )
hey buddy,
i got some hope 4 u,its that if ur phone is goin into download mode,dont worry abt it,cause i have unbricked my phone...i went to my friends house,who also has a galaxy,n he had kies in his pc,the older version,n the drivers with which kies comes,so i tried connectin it to his pc,n my phone got detected,
got odin,some custom rom,n flashed it,n it got stuck on the galaxy s screen,so went into recovery,wiped data,cache,n reboot,n it was up n running again.....
so id say try gettin the older kies n keep tryin in different coms....
wish u luck
when you mean old, how old is that version? may you ask your friend?

I'm using Windows XP. Tried on Windows 7 too and other Windows XPs. I was briefed that something has went really corrupted in my phone. Hard disk corrupted?
It all happened when I restore what i Backup-ed from the Recovery Mode. I was told that is a stupid thing to do which cause my phone to be screwed up.
To be reminded, my phone was in deodexed JVK stock ROM.
ok first off I have searched and have yet to find a sollution. So if there is one please flame me and point me to it.
Problem : I have 2 computers, both win 7 x64 pro. my desktop does not detect any cell phone, my friends droid 1 or my samsung captivate..... Both have all the drivers installed. That is a small problem because i have a laptop that does ( DID)
Big problem : phone having problems, me flash captivate and flash fail ( i think i used odin 2.2 flasher which for some reason doesnt want to work, i tryed it a few times before... but anyways so I'm in download mode and now the computer wont detect my phone, just like my desktop, I get the UNKNOWN USB device or the usb device did not install correctly blah blah blah malfunction... SO now I'm able to get into DL mode but thats it.... so where is the fix for this? Please help . its so strange that no changes were made and it goes from having worked for months to not working at all suddenly...
Again neither odin v 2.1 or v 2.2 ( as in froyo and eclar) will detect phone nor will the hemdol program or what evs.... so i can not boot past download mode. Please help .
the answers are out there... itll just take a bit of reading... however sounds like there are program incompatibilities somewhere not allowing your drivers to install especially after you said drivers did not install blah blah. Also try changing usb ports when you plug it in and go through and check to make sure all you usb drivers and ports are functioning properly. Furthermore check to ensure your charging port isnt loose and or pins bent or broken same with your cable.
try this as well... says right click and run odin in admin etc.

What rom are you on? CM7 MIUI?
Well huge problem... for some reason the phone wont charge now so now i cant even get in DL mode and before that i couldnt for the life of me no matter what i read find a fix for the USB issue. idk what the **** it is but its really annoying.... I was using OFFICAL 2.2 and was trying to reflash it and try it again or flash 2.1 because i was getting random restarts. then the flash failed for some reason first time ever I think ( i seriously have flashed about a dozen times since ive had my phone over 9 months, So i know alot and have read alot, have a jig and all that jazz) so i know what im doing... I just got my phone back from samsung about a month ago they fixed a random button pressing problem, and now the turning off on a Stock rom ( plus firefly prior, why i went back to stock) made me paranoid, plus i use it as a clock for work so i cant have it turn off randomly at all. So what am I to do? I possibly can use my friends battery for a bit or my womans... but im thinking maybe this has less to do with computer now and possibly that my phone fried or something that i should send it in to samsung for warranty repair...since obviously if it was restarting on a new 2.2 instalation obviously there were probably some problems...
I read a similar story of this randomly happening to another experienced user on google, and he sent it in to samsung and they just sent him a new phone... my AT&T warrianty is long gone on my refurb but i still got 3 months left with samsung... idk why it isnt even charging on wall outlet or computer...
what to do?
Did the phone go "dead" after a failed firmware flash? Or it literally just all of a sudden won't charge? If it was truly random then it's a hardware problem all the way and most likely an issue with the USB port or a trace routed through it. Only 2 lines control charging and the Captivate is notorious for a pretty solid port from my findings.
Well I left my phone in the wall for hours and I guess it does charge so its not completely dead. Now just the issue of reflashing stock on there... so getting the USB to work in my computer. I take it the USB in the phone isnt dead or the JIG wouldnt work... I just want to know if the Random shut off is hardware related or a bad flash / rom? Anyone know what has less problems? 2.1 or 2.2? I dont think my keyboard is in 2.1 so i dont think i could take it... but i just want a working phone with my gingerbread keyboard <3 I just dont want it to turn off on me...
and now randomly odin's will still not detect, but heimdol will, but it fails about 18% into factoryrfs or what evs. And Yes I have used it before and yes I am following all directions. WTF this is blowing my mind... and yes repartition is selected
Are you using an OEM Samsung Cable? Don't use knock off cable for anything more than charging...
just fyi if u rooted ur phone and samsung checks the programing to find out and trouble shoot it will void your warranty and youll have to pay for it... so um maybe try spending the 50 and go with a refurb thru insurance.
Yes I'm using stock cable...
ANd its not rooted, its not ANYTHING since there is no OS on the phone so no way to see anything to void anything...
now most things ( on different computers) will detect the phone and all odin and heimdol but they will both fail at the beginning of any flash... Its like nothing can be pushed through the phone.... ?

It doesn't necessarily screw with it. Heimdall installs a custom WinLIB USB driver to operate with Samsung Composite USB devices. This driver is used for Samsung Download mode which ODIN doesn't recognize. To switch back to using ODIN, you just need to go into device manager and uninstall the device and be sure to DELETE DRIVER FOR THE DEVICE. Then just plug the phone back in when in DL mode and the Samsung driver will be re-installed. However, this is really beginning to sound more like a hardware problem. I emailed you back and would be happy to put a final diagnosis or repair on the devil phone.
Hi, to all.
I'm not sure i am the only one who has this problem on i9000,(i suppose not),
in any case i haven't found any thread related for our phone.So i thought it would be a good idea to start one,and if others have same problem, post here, so we can gather as much info we can.And maybe find a solution.
ANY HELP IS VERY APPRECIATED.
From what I've read on forum it's defined as: ''when a phone perfectly works but it is unable to make its usb micro port work in any way''.(Except charging).To precise, i mean make phone visible in download mode or able to enter in download mode,usb drivers install, transferring files to/from computer to internal memory and sdcard.
The only threads i found are for HTC devices,with no clear solution.
User Bejda gently gave me a link on a French forum with a similar problem.
It has alot of interesting info and personal opinions about the problem.
http://galaxys-team.fr/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=20841
Another link is this one referring to a program that can unbrick and make functional the usb port.
http://galaxys-team.fr/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=22257
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
1)GOOGLE DRIVERS (As i use cm7) --Didnt work in my case
2)Other cm7 version or other kernel from CWM --Didnt work in my case
3)Other pc usb port --Didnt work in my case
4)Other pc or format --Didnt work in my case
5)Other usb cable --Didnt work in my case
6)Mobile Odin --Cant use that to put stock firmware as i need to repartition and pit, and these options are disabled.Can they be enabled??
7)Clean Usb port/Check if it is ok --Didnt work in my case
8)Use Jig -- Didn't work either.
9)Use the program from the above forum??
10)Heimdall --Finds uknown device with 0000 ids etc,and fails to install device.Does work.Tried latest version.
11)Tried toggling BT--Didnt work.
12)Having the phone connected to notebook and then turning the notebook on -- Didnt work in my case
12)APPLYING CM9 ICS! -- YES THIS SOLVED MY PROBLEM!!USB DISCS WORKING SO AS ODIN ON DL MODE!!!!!THANK GOD!
Can't think something more..
About my case:
The phone works perfect but i cant manage my pc to 'see' my phone.Charging works.
The 2 discs of the phone
or even odin cant be seen.I tried different pc's,usb ports,usb drivers/controllers,cables,download or not mode,usb debbugging on/off , samsung and google drivers.
Other cm7 versions or kernel versions.Formatting the pc also.Whereas my friends phone on pc works perfectly,mine 8 out of 10 times is not recognised ,or found as uknown device.
Discs (internal and sd) also not shown on my computer.
On 3-4 days of trying i only managed to get it shown for 1 minute(only discs) ,didnt have time to try odin,as it disconnected (without me touching anything).After that it did the same before(not recognized etc).
I also dissembled my phone and i can say usb port seems perfect.
I was thinking if i manage to make odin work i can repartion and (update bootloader????) also put stock firmware/kernel that may fix it ,or not???
Or at least with stock i can try samsung's warranty.
Anyway for now i use My phone Explorer (via wifi) that can access eveything (contacts,sms,calendar,both disks on root folders etc,and its free)
because ftp apks dont work for me.
I ran into the same problem a few weeks ago, tested it all that you write about, but eventually I gave up and sent it to Samsung, they changed the circuit board on the warranty and now it's on its way back from service.
I said I tried to update the phone in Kies and that something went wrong ....
If you have a custom ROM on your phone, see if you can "destroy the software" so that they can not get into the phone and find that you have broken the warranty.
Thanks for your answer.
Well,you were on custom firmware/kernel?
I don't know if this can be done as i am on cm7 and i use a non stock kernel.
if you are on a custom rom you could try odin for mobile to flash a stock rom and send it to samsung (if you are still under waranty) for repairs/checks

Repair to a shop or samsung?
Claimed warranty or not?
i've got this problem to, you've probably got a faulty usb port, look into the port and see if you can find all the copper connectors, just today i tried a brand new usb cable, an that works!!!
only... it works 1 time, the first time the copper connectors aren't pushed into the cable, just look at an used cable and see what i mean, the connectors in the middle are pushed in....
what i think is that if you use a set of tweezers to pull them 1-2 mm out, (so they are lined up with the outer connectors) you can make contact again, make sure you're already in debugging mode, if you have used the cable you have to do it again..
btw, i havent tried the tweezers, i had a noever used cable laying around, but it's probably the same idea, so the same effect.... please reply if it worked or not...
btw^2 you're getting the "unknown usb device" error are you not?
Sorry for being late.These days i was ill
Yes maybe i have a faulty port.
But i can't claim warranty because i have glitch kernel and cm7 kang .
I just want to try 1st everything else possible , before a repair.
Also i don't like alot the fact that i will stay without my phone.
I will also try these days to keep it plugged on my turned off notebook (as oxmoss said)
and also try cm9 with cm9 kernel (as Dopedangel said).
Only sometimes (like 1 out of 10) it gives me unknown usb or usb malfunctioned,and (like 2 out of 1000!) it found the phone correctly.
These days , some times if i try to 'move' the cable near the phone it finds the uknown device
but i cant do nothing more. And sometimes i also hear the sound of the speakers getting 'stacked' when connect the usb..
So it must be the usb...
But the pins seem perfect.Also the ones inside the motherboard...
I tried with tweezers but nothing,as everything seems ok...
Anyway for now i use My phone Explorer (via wifi) that can access eveything (contacts,sms,calendar,both disks on root folders etc,and its free)
because ftp apks dont work for me.
Anyway i will try the above solutions and update these days the thread.
Thanks again
We have two Galaxy S Captivates. One connects to the computer fine, the other no longer does.
First the phone started randomly rebooting or becoming locked up. Then we had external SD issue and couldn't mount the "emmc" which, since it was using Cyanogenmod 9, was the external_sd. Pretty soon the phone was stuck at the boot animation, wouldn't get any further. So obviously I needed to reflash it, but now suddenly the USB did not even work either (it only charges). I did a factory reset and was able to get back into the OS, but when I connect the USB cable, no message pops up to connect, no matter what setting I use.
So I did a CWM restore to a much older backup. But in that one, USB is not working either now too.
I don't think it's physical, it suddenly stopped as I was trying to fix it. So is there any way to do the kind of reflash Odin and Heimdall do, but without USB? I can solder if some sort of serial cable needs to be made..
Or perhaps, if I know what COMORT it's connected to, I can do a manual choose, instead of letting Odin do it automatically? Since I can connect my other Captivate and see the name of the port...
Many thanks, I hope I really hope I can get this fixed...

Thanks, but I've read that whole post. I've tried all possible regular solutions you can find around the net. My main question now is, is there a way to flash all those core components without using Odin or Heim. Can I use my CWM? Or perhaps ADB? Is there a way to specify a specific COMORT I'd like to connect to? Or any more tech savvy solutions like a serial cable connection? I need a solution for flashing without Odin or Heimdall.

Not on the Captivate. Everything is done by Odin or Heimdall using the usb port. There's a mobile Odin but it doesn't flash bootloaders and you can't get root with it.
Have you tried cleaning the usb?
Either fix the USB by cleaning it or replacing the port, or have fun with a barely usable Captivate :\. I don't understand why they made the port so flimsy if it was such an important part of the phone, seems kinda dumb imo.
If you do happen to find a fix, please let me know, kind of in the same boat .
