Big problem. Suddenly my phone will not turn on. Sits at the white Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen and does not boot. When I put it into download mode and plug it into computer, its suddenly saying "USB Device Not Recognized".
What do I do? PC won't recognize it, it wont boot. can't flash it.....I'm freaking out here...
Did you flash anything to it or root it?

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?

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.
So I flashed my phone to Phoenix and was going wonderfully. Flew into St. Louis from Oklahoma and the phone froze up. It's now stuck on the AT&T boot screen. Occassionally after doing a battery pull and turning it on, the Phoenix boot screen will come up and I've gotten it to the lock/unlock screen but is unresponsive to touch.
Occassionally it even has what almost looks like colorful static on the screen. So now I'm in a completely different state without my home laptop for a week with the Odin3 1 click and am unable to find a download link for it.
Help would be appreciated. I was hoping to get the phone into recovery to try and flash back to stock or reflash Phoenix but it just stays stuck on the AT&T boot screen now.
remove battery, put battery back in, hold up+down vol buttons, plug in usb.
you'll be at download mode, then use odin.

Do you have an Odin download link? The Odin link on the site isn't good anymore and google isn't helping
here's an alternative link I've used:
http://www.mediafire.com/?0w2y31maz8mdom4
I appreciate the help so far and the Odin link. I managed to get Odin downloaded. I managed to get my phone in download mode. However, Odin is not registering that there is any phone. Normally I'd see a COM but nothing is showing up.
I started by running Odin.
Then got my phone in download mode.
I can't get any farther.
Do you have the drivers installed on your PC ? I also read somewhere where you have to have the latest net frame work as well...If you do...you might have a bad usb cord...and here in St.Louis..there are a lot of AT&T stores you can get one..
Mac
Well, on the original thread that had the link for Odin has the 32/64 Samsung drivers. I downloaded the drivers zip file to the desktop of the laptop.
One thing I find strange is usually when I plug in the phone to my laptop with the USB cable, the option to view files, etc pops up. It is not on this laptop.

Did you install the drivers then ? Sometimes my wife's Samsung laptop does that..and not install anything going to the desktop..If everything is loaded correctly..you 2 drive pop up windows should open..
Also (I'm sure it is) make sure usb debugging is checked on your phone..
Sometimes the most simplest things keeps things from working correctly..
Phone unplugged..in normal mode..usb debugging checked..do not mount phone..
Close Odin
Open Odin
Plug phone in
Put phone into download mode...click start...not master clear...
Mac
Odin is also finnicky about USB ports. If you are on a desktop machine, try using one in the back instead of the front, or if you have multiple sets, try using a different one. I've had Odin not recognize certain USB ports but recognize others before.
Finally, I suspect you already know this, but for sanity's sake make sure you start both the PC and phone up fresh after reboots, open Odin, then connect the phone. Connecting the phone first breaks Odin.

What OS are you running? Are you explicitly starting odin in administrator mode (right-click->run as administrator)?
Okay, so I switched USB ports and it suddenly recognized and it started to download drivers. But it was listed as a gadget Serial and no drivers found. Geez this would be so much easier if I was at home where the laptop is set up with everything instead of being several states away.
Okay, so apparently I do not have the correct drivers installed. I really appreciate all the help so far. At this point, should I just google Samsung Captivate drivers or does someone have a link handy?
I can't get to my debugging as the phone stays on teh AT&T boot screen. I did have it enabled before I left OKC though.
I've gotten teh Samsung modem software successfully installed.

The Odin is a zipfile that I have to use winzip to use it. It doesn't have the option to use as an administrator.

I know. Flying from OKC to St. Louis and then from St. Louis to Baltimore with a several hour layover has me exhausted and not thinking clearly.
I did manage to reboot it and Phoenix came up. All drivers were showing ready except for ADB and then the phone shut down and ADB said phone was unplugged.
I feel like I'm making headway but just not there.
And why is it I'm staying in an expensive hotel and you still have to pay for net? Geez
I downloaded the 64bit drivers. Ran the exe file.
Extracted Odin and have run it as an administrator
Put the phone in download mode.
Odin is still not seeing anything.

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.
i ask my aunt for her pc,

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249
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.
actually thats the problem... windows vista doesnt recognize my device, either my mac... is there a solution to my phone or not? please help
OMG please help ((
I've Installed Captivate Drivers

One of the devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and
Windows does not recognize it.
Are you sure it goes in to Download Mode (little android with a shovel)? Also have u tried different usb ports?
Like the above said, are you sure you are in download mode?
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.
Also, are you sure odin doesnt see it? I know windows doesnt like it, but start odin, put phone in download mode, connect to pc. What does odin show? Any connected devices?

I understand but sometimes you can't connect whit PC but whit Odin its doing. (Sometimes)
Start Odin with Windows and try it.
Very important - your phone must bee on the DOWNLOAD MODE. If its not doing your USB Connector on the phone its defect.
I have same problem having 6 months ago.

Are your drivers installed? Install those, connect the phone so the pc to recognize the phone and begin install of drivers for it. When you plug in the cable be sure to be in download mode, you need the mtp driver to be installed. Remove the fone when it finishes.
After you install the drivers open odin add the files and only after plugin the phone in download mode. It should be ok then.

It's not driver problem. I've flashed with odin and heimdall a lotof times. The phone failed to recognized time ago but when rebooting aleays solved thw problem, not this time.i get error code 43. If i force driver install i get error code 10 in device manager
Try to remove the drivers first. After that close the pc, remove the power cord and hit the on button. It will discharhe any charge left in your sistem (it will reset your usbs). Plugin the cord, open the pc normaly and then reinstall the drivers.
Put the phone in dld mode and see what happens.
Hope u resolve ur problem this way.

For the second time, did you put the phone into download mode? Odin isn't going to "see" it if it isn't in download mode.
I go into download mode and odin doesn't see. my computer doesn't recognize the phone at all. I want to know how to get computer to recognize that phone is connected so I can run odin or hard push file to phone.

Like @cwhiatt is saying, are you certain you're in download mode - by pressing and holding volume down + home + power? If you're in TWRP, that's recovery mode, not download. Just want to make sure that's not the issue here.
In download mode there should be a blue/green screen that says "Downloading... Do not turn off target".

Have you tried other cables? Other ports? Other computers?
some usb cables are for power only while others do data if it has just a lightning bolt on it, that's a charger if it has the universal usb logo that's data cable.
Your problem is fixed ?
