[Q] Bricked SGS with unrecognizeble usb - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really need help! After flashing of a new rom I had bricked my phone and no pc or laptop can recognize it. I can go under download mode but since the pc cannot recognize it I am with hands tied. Pls help!!! I cannot go into recovery aswell

Download drivers for your phone and install on your pc and/ or try using a different usb slot. As long as you can enter download mode you don't need to worry. Just search around and you'll find it.

First don't panic it is recoverable i did the same to mine a couple of weeks ago and totally killed it good n proper,
the proof it will be ok is Im using mine to write this post.
What in particular isn't recognising ur device, windows drivers, kies, or odin with mine i found that kies and windows didn't show it yet odin did,
as suggested update drivers but also check ur usb lead and try another one to confirm.
Make sure your battery is charged!!!!
To get ur phone into download mode depends on button config there are sevrel search and try them all first.
And try to think were there any buttons a bit iffy before you bricked it could one now be naff,
if all else i have mentioned is good and you are happy then the next step is the resistor method i believe its a 301k wired to a usb plug you can find it on the forum how to make one, then plug it in and bingo download mode.
The final step is the easy way drop it to a good phone repair shop mine cost £30 to unbrick and have the software put back on.
Hope this is of some help to you.

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 ((

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?

Odin / Flash Questions?

Problem: Attemping to flash to eclair(stock) using Odin version/s 1.81-1.82. Have not had any luck. The phone is rooted. But running bone stock os/rom. I suspect while using an app to kill the boot/shutdown sounds may have some how corrupted this cappy enough to block it from flashing back to stock.
Question: Are there any specific sites or suggestions that would walk me through ways to flash my Captivate back to Eclair?
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!
Sent from my Samsung Captivate using XDA App
Are you connecting the phone to a usb hob thats on the Mother board(rear one if on desktop), running ODIN as adming (if on vista or 7). You putting your phone in download mode and connecting after odin is open? Lastly you have drivers for your phone?
Edit: Mobiletechvideos usually has very good video guides.
U need to right click the Odin and run as administrator 1st, then connect ur phone in download mode to the computer. Be sure to connect the usb end of the cable to a usb port in the back of the computer or first port on laptop. Be sure that before u begin you have the correct drivers installed and then you may want to reboot your computer... then begin the Odining process.
Hope that helps.
edit: prbassplayer, I guess great minds do think alike... But you type faster.
Tried for awhile that night without success. The next morning after restarting my windows xp system it worked. All required software was installed. The pc had been restarted numerous times? Greatful for the suggestions. Still confused as to what the issue was however. Very perplexing indeed.

Galaxy TAB P1000 NOT Detecting in ODIN

Hello xda users,
I need HELP !
I have a galaxy tab P1000
currently froyo 2.2
wanted to upgrade to GB
Tried the Odin way from another link on this site (MANUAL updation for galaxy tab(p1000) into 2.3.3 gingerbread ), it failed and the Tab got soft bricked,
somehow managed to unbrick it, now its back to its original fw, but it keeps restarting in a loop until i switchd the damn thing off completely
I have tried to go in download mode to flash but odin doesnt recognise it , tried differnt computers too, no use.
I have gone in recovery mode, hard reset, wipe cache , still when i switch it on, it goes in a reboot loop.
tried to use heimdall. cant get sucess as i might not understand how to use it properly
Please help.
Sincere thanks to you if you can help me get my tab up and running., if not in GB atleast back in froyo.
(PS- i im not worried about my data , and i have not backed up the rom etc before doing any of these)
Try to reinstall or install a usb driver from samsung
tried that before , didnt work
anyway now i managed to get it detected on ODIN and flashed it to GB
Libon
Yeah, happened to me too, nearly had a sh*t my pants when Odin didn't recognise my Tab.
I would recommend -
charge the Tab fully using wall adapter (4 hrs+)
plug it in with Odin open and using USB cable
don't expect Odin to recognise the Tab immediately
check back after 5 mins or so (I don't know, does Odin refresh?)
I was able to restore my Tab from the PC - ! - Marvin screen.
I don't want to go back there again though!
yea dude.. same here
i kept it on charge for a couple of hours and then tried.. bam it conencts..

My Galaxy tab also doesn't connect to usb after cache wiped humber os flash
Thanks in advance guys!..
Earlier I was using Cyanogen mode 10 Custom ROM but has few issues like recognize SD card.
later I flashed to Humber OS caused real problem.
It was clock work recovery installed but my tab tab boots stays on screen humber OS.
It goes to recovery mode, and also to some unknown recovery mode.
Either the way not recognized by computer. I tried all options like heimtal an Odin. No help.
Friends any help, would be highly appreciated.
BUMP
Any solution to this given the fact that usb drivers have been installed?
Are you sure it is recognised by the computer before trying Odin or Heimdall?

4 Reasons Why Odin is Not Detecting Your Android Device:
Reason 1: No drivers installed for your phone
Most of the time Odin is not able to detect your phone, simply because you haven’t installed the drivers for your phone. Normally windows would automatically download the respective drivers for your phone from the internet and install it. But in case it isn’t able to do so, you need to download the drivers from your phone manufacturer’s website.
Reason 2: Inferior quality or damaged USB cable
Odin is very sensitive to low quality or damaged USB cables, which is a major reason why odin will detect your android phone in file transfer mode but fail to detect it in download mode. You might have a genuine USB cable that came with your Android phone but with time its quality will depreciate, which is why you might have to get a new USB cable.
Reason 3: Odin is corrupted
This happened once with a reader on my blog, we tried everything to solve his problem, but in the end using a different version of Odin worked out for him.
Reason 4: USB port is defective
Defective USB ports can also be a reason for Odin not detecting your Android phone. This was a problem faced by one of my readers and plugging the USB cable in another USB port worked out for him.
#######################################################################
and I need install cwm recovery on a twrp recovery and just do that with this app:
ROM Manager
if you want do same job; you can download it from google play easily!
and install recovery,rom or restore backup with it.

reason 1: my phone is samsung and it's detected by ODIN, kies and I transfer files from and to my computer without problems. also tried reinstalling just in case but nothing, so I guess this is not the answer for my problem
reason 2: tried with original cable, but as I didn't use the tablet for a long time I also thought it could be the cable, so I asked a friend of mine if he could lend me one cable, but that didn't work. pity. :/
reason 3: tried 3 different versions of ODIN, and in every version my phone (mentioned above) is detected. shame. :S
reason 4: tried the 3 different USB ports in my laptop. two 2.0 USB ports and one 3.0 USB port, so again I doubt this is the reason of my problem.
extra reason: ~~~ maybe it's the OS version ~~~ // this laptop came with windows 8 preinstalled. nothing. then, I updated to win 8.1. again nothing. now I'm running windows 10 and the same, nothing is detected neither by ODIN nor the computer. also tried in 4 different computers running win xp, win 7 and other with win 8.1.
btw, thank you anyway for your apportation; this may help other people, but unfortunately, it's not my case, so can anybody else join me to think about a new reason and a way to solve it? thank you very much :good: :highfive: :fingers-crossed:
~~~~~~~~~~~~ EDIT ~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have continued researching and found a software. it didn't work for me, but maybe it works for other people.
-first, you have to make sure you have java installed on your computer.
-second, extract the oneclick.rar file on an easy-access directory.
-third, put your tab on download mode (while charging icon when tab is turned off, press power + volume down until a yellow triangle appears).
-fourth, click start unsoft-brick and let the magic begin! 8)
note: if a warning error pops up, trust the software and click on resolution center and follow the instructions of one of the three "alternative ways".

[Q] Not recognized in Download Mode

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.
Had the same issues with my phone. Turned out to be a bad cable got a new one and it worked first try

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.
Also try this if you have any luck. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257434 (Just side load ubuntu on your windows / mac if needed)
If someone could help me as well. I have tried everything. Odin will not recognize my phone. Heimdall does work!!! I can flash anything with Heimdall. But I need Odin for the ROM I want.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486344
I have tried everything including a "commercial" jig to boot to download mode. Still no go!!!
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.
Anymore suggestions? Or if I can't, anyone I can send it to?
Did you find a solution?
I've got the same problem...did you find a solution?

Question about drivers and connection with Kies

I'm having a problem with connecting with Kies, It doesn't recognize my Captivate (Or may be it do) and It doesn´t pass of Connecting device.
So I´m trying to root my device, but in one of the steps that I read it says that if the device don´t connect or sincronize with phone the drivers are not correctly installed and might have problems with flashing with Odin.
So my question is... If I´m having this problem with conection, What it really means? That my drivers are not installed correctly? Or is another problem and I can continue with the procedure?
I´m sorry! It maybe is a silly question but I´m new on this! I appreciate your help, thank you very much!!!
I wouldn't bother with Kies. If there is a driver problem, Odin won't be able to recognize the phone. If you still can't get it to work, there's always Heimdall.

Ok, but... How can I know if Odin recognize my device without risk? I mean, if I connect the phone and it works with Odin. Do I have to continue with the process?
Or I can disconnect it and try it again later when I want? (I have to be sure what I´m going to do lol)
Once u have Odin opened and ur phone in download mode next and then ur phone connected to the pc last, Odin will let u know that it recognizes ur phone by the com port box turning yellow if u r using Odin3 v 1.83 or similar. If u r using an One Click Odin it will show in the log box "Added". At either one of these points if u do not want to continue just remove ur cable from ur phone, pull the battery, replace the battery and reboot. Close Odin.
But if u tap Start on either one of the Odins, after u have connected to ur pc and been recognized by the Odin, then do not remove the cable. Let the process finish. Also, always be sure to use a reliable micro usb/usb cable and have a sure power source.
