Alright, so I was having some problems with my cognition rom and decided go back to stock so I could flash the new cognition. I put my phone into download mode, and it took a few times for ODIN to see my phone. After I got ODIN to see my phone I tried to master clear, it did not work. I had to pull the battery out and try again. I rebooted my phone again, and many program errors came up. I shut off my phone, tried to get into download mode and it wouldn't let me using the volume down + up then insert USB with ODIN open.
Now to get into download mode I must hold buttons with battery out, put USB in, and put battery in and I get download mode instantly, but I cant get ODIN to recognize my phone at all anymore. I tried many different methods(odin open before DL mode, odin closed before download mode, etc). I looked through a few threads and couldnt find anything that would work. Also my window 7 64 now says it doesn't recognize the USB device when I plug it in. Whats going on with my phone?? Im getting very annoyed! Is there any way to go back to stock besides ODIN??? Any help is appreciated!!
***UPDATE***
Seems like I may have a 3 button combo lock, and no USB support of any kind(besides charging).
UPDATE: I used rom manager to flash over my old rom. My phone works again, but it wont go into download mode at all now. Only when I use the cognition menu to send it to download mode will it work. I still cant get ODIN to see my phone. I want to go back to stock still, but without ODIN working, can I?

under your captivate battery, there is a number like 1008, 1010, what is yours?
I've had the same trouble with download mode + odin on my Windows 7 64 bit pc too.
I have to have odin running, phone off with battery out, and usb cable in. I leave the battery out for about a 10 second count. Then put the battery in and hit all the buttons at the exact same time (power + volume up and down). The key here is that I only had to hit all three buttons momentarily to get it to go into download mode. I didn't have to hold them down for any length of time.
I easily spent 1 hour trying to get odin to work the last time I had to reflash to stock. Only because I forgot how hard it was three last time with my 64 bit machine.

So should I just keep trying to get into ODIN by just fiddling around with it? Ive tried an XP machine and it wouldnt work either. Does booting into download mode from the cognition power menu any different than entering download mode the manual way? Every time I put the battery in with the USB it takes me to the battery charger screen. At first with that issue, putting in the battery last while holding down volume up and down, would put the phone into download mode(as opposed to the normal ways of getting into download mode). Now that wont even work at all.
first you can try the 3 button fix, just search the forum for that.
you may need to build a jig or buy one online just in case, it will get you into the download mode easily.

im having horrible trouble with adb cmd. I installed the samsung drivers, put my phone in usb debugging, did some tutorials on how to install sdk correctly, went to the correct file paths in cmd promt, and still cant access the adb shell. Any pointers on this?
Also, could I wipe all data off internal storage and use the "reinstall package" option in recovery mode to use rom manager update.zip to restore my rom from my sd card? Im not sure if thats possible. Im getting errors with my rom, and it feels slower since I just reinstalled over the top of my faulty rom.
Seems the only usb function I have right now is to charge it. Hmmm USB brick?
Any help out there???
3g stopped working on my phone when I woke up. I really need to get a fresh rom installed.
If I recall correctly, the path to where adb is had changed. Check all folders inside the sdk folder. to make my life easier, I put the sdk folder right into the root directory (c and renamed it sdk. Don't know if that well help or not...

I changed the folder to androidsdk from whatever it was.

Well, if your phone is a rev 1006 you "should" have a problem like losing your button combo. I guess that could have happened but I doubt it, I've got a 1007 and never lost it.
So, as for ADB here's what I do. Take the android SDK folder you downloaded and look inside it. There is a folder called tools. I take the tools folder and copy it to the root of my C: drive. Make sure you have all the drivers loaded, speaking of which I would uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Sounds like they flaked out for some reason. Next open up a cmd window, Start > Run > CMD.
Then type,
cd /
cd tools
adb devices <<this shows if your phone is recognized. if it is...
adb reboot download
*or
adb reboot recovery
*or
adb shell
For what it's worth, I have been flashing my phone since I got it in July and the only time I Master Clear is when I have had a problem like a soft brick or something that I was suspicious about the data on my internal SD. Which, so far has been maybe 3 times. I don't think necessary to Master Clear every time you flash to stock.
Also, you shouldn't really have to the pop out the batter to do the download mode trick. I turn my phone off, hold both Vol up and down, then plug in USB and I'm in download mode.

Im having USB driver problems, windows 7 will not recognize my phone. I think this is why adb wont recognize my phone correct? I can only get into download mode now but using the power menu thats custom from Cognition. Is my phone screwed?? Can I flash a ROM without ODIN?

Like I said, have you tried uninstalling the drivers from windows and reinstalling them? I am running Win 7 x64 and have had that happen. After i flash a rom or flash to stock sometimes windows doesn't recognize my phone at all. The first time I just used my laptop to flash but the second time I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled. It's also important that you plug into the USB ports directly on the motherboard on the back of your PC. There are known problems when trying the front usb ports or through a hub.

Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling many many times. I am using a laptop and ive tried all the USB ports but still no luck. I hate having my phone like this, it will drive me insane until its fixed.. or officially considered usb bricked.

Just curious, is it a Dell laptop? My Dell never recognizes my phone unless I power the laptop on with the phone/USB plugged in. If the laptop is on, and I plug phone in it never works, so I leave it plugged in and reboot and it works. It drives me crazy, but whatever it's my work PC.

It is a dell actually, but I just tried your method and it didnt work for me. Thanks for the input though!
Alright, I downloaded kies mini today and it actually installed some drivers correctly. I was able to pull up my internal drive on the computer, but it wouldn't read it. I was able to get ODIN to see my phone(first time in weeks), but it only shows up when my phone is NOT in debugging mode. So im assuming Master Clear will work now. I was using AIO captivate tool box, and my phone rebooted at the click of the button into download mode, but once again it wont see my phone in ODIN while in download mode. Im getting closer!
Why wont ODIN recognize my phone with USB debugging on? Any more suggestions on how to make this happen?
Hello,
I have been using some release candidates of ICS which were available here on my i9000. Everything worked out generally fine. Sometimes my phone crashed and then it wouldn't want to go further than my i9000 and afterwards the google screen. Both screens would just repeat endlessly without the phone doing anything.
When this happened, I was always able to go back to recovery mode and uninstall everything and reinstall the rom. This would always solve my problem.
Now here is my current issue: on Saturday my phone crashed again, but now I can NOT enter recovery mode any more. Whenever I plug in a usb cable or normal cable to charge my phone it shows the calculating sign and after a few secs it's gone and starts all over again instead of showing the green battery slowly getting full.
The only thing which works is getting into download mode. So I tried to get odin to work. I installed kies to get the usb drivers and I opened odin (on both windows and a mac), but it does NOTHING.
Is there any other way I can reset my phone to get it somehow working again? Is there another way to get into recovery besides the buttons or using odin? I know of ADB but that requires the phone to be on....
When you plug your phone in (and enter download mode) what device type does windows detect it as?
Because you can get to download mode normally a "good" sign that it isn't bricked (and even when "bricked" it can be un-bricked)
Edit
Just tested mine, entered download mode and odin shows it connected on Com6, device manager shows it connected as a "Samsung Mobile Modem"
try and install the samsung modem drivers separately then try and connect connect
Hi,
first, be sure that all Kies-services are disabled via Taskmanager otherwise ODIN wont work correct!
then Bring your SGS1 to the Downloadmode, connect the USB_cable at the phone.
fullfill all sections you need in ODIN (PDA-Kernle, CODE-modem, CSC-CSC, pitfile512) klick repartition on
then connect your SGS1 via USB to the PC
Odin will show "connected"
Press start.

I tried to put the CM10 on my phone, after installing the zip in recovery mode, I rebooted the device and it never returned to start. Does not show a single light. Do not enter in any way with any combination. When I connect by usb the only thing that appears in device manager is "apx device." Already tried so many things and nothing worked.
anyone have any idea what's going on?
by the way, I tried a lot here in xda before opening a thread.
is your bl unlocked?

No, no, no and no. the only sign of life when it is connected to the pc. Appears "apx" in device manager.
Yeah you are in apx mode, which is basically the boot section of the nvidia tegra chipset.
You should be able to boot normally by unplugging the phone, remove battery for a few seconds, reinsert and hold power button for about 10 seconds
Also try holding power and vol+ (hold them a while) you should be able to boot into normal recovery

I've try that but dont work.
In device manager the apx device is it properly installed or does it have the triangle?
When it first connected as apx device it probably asked you for drivers, i doubt you installed them.
I don't know if the apx drivers for the 04 are out already, check these terms in xda i know some people have been working on them.
Maybe you can find them here
If the device isn't bricked you are in a situation in which you should be able to flash stuff.
For some this method worked:
Try turn off phone
take battery out
hold vol- and put usb cable into phone
if s/w mode starts put battery in and flash kdz
Otherwise check this thread out
or this
I have to go out and can't follow you for a while, sorry

The only way for you to get connected in APX is without battery, connect to PC while pressing vol- & vol+.
Anyway... why you want to do that? APX mode doesn't work in JB.
Ok... I got it.
Did you tried to deactivate the APX device in device manager?
You can try to performe the bootloader unlock again (run adb and connect the phone while the program wait for device...)
http://www.4shared.com/rar/HFf4newq/LGO4X-UNLOCK-BOOTLOADER.html (instructions inside).
Or try to get in SW mode by trying untill it works... (connect to PC while pressed vol-).
Any update on the problem?

No, i think what happened was that all the firmware is erased and this naturally gave access to apx that should be hidden by the software. Probably there was some error when I wipe to put the CM10. I see no other explanation.
The phone is actually mine. Already sent it to warranty hoping they'll fix it.
Resuming, the phone went unexpectadly in APX mode and havent found a way of quitting that mode, couldn't boot S/W neither bootloader.
And btw the phone is carrier locked and to be honest I'm not sure if it might be part of the problem or not. Anyway in about two weeks the phone should be back and hopefully fixed. If not I'll check here for some more help guys, thanks for attetion so far

When you say Odin doesn't see the phone, I presume you had put the phone into download mode?
the phone doesnt register in odin or with my computer. i need to know how to make my computer see the phone so i can use odin to fix it.

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 ?
formerly rooted H811. I unrooted with supersu and attempted to relock the bootloader. But It didn't take. It appears to be in some in between galaxy.
I get into fastboot, but "fastboot devices" comes up empty.
Would like to lock to update to 20X. No PC, only Mac.
LG Bridge sees USB, but not phone.
Help appreciated.
You do realize locking the bootloader will perform factory reset and wipe your data. Are you trying fastboot through MAC, not sure how it is different from PC so if that is causing the issue can't help much.
Is usb debugging enabled, and you have given permission in the pop-up that pops up on phone screen when you connect it to MAC/Computer the very first time? It is possible you missed that permission pop-up the first time and now permission is denied permanently. You may wanna uninstall and reinstall LG driver/device, connect phone again, and look for that permission pop-up on phone screen and allow it. Try connecting usb cable in different usb port too, that might make the pop-up appear again. Also, remember if bootloader is altered or you got custom recovery, phone will possibly soft brick and you will need to use LG Bridge or LG UP with phone in download mode to reflash kdz. Hope this helps.
Edit: For the permission pop-up to show, the phone needs to be turned on, be in mtp mode, and usb debugging to be enabled. Then once you have given permission, you use adb command to reboot into bootloader or i think with phone off, hold the volume down button while you connect to usb cable and not let go of the volume down button till phone is in fastboot menu.
