Well, I spent the last week or so having all sorts of creative fun with my new Captivate. Unfortunately, I was having the random shutdown issue, so I decided to remove SRE, SU, etc, using ODIN to restore my phone back to stock and get it exchanged for a new one.
I came home with my new phone today and proceeded to start the customization process all over. Before I did anything serious, I connected my new Captivate to my desktop, to both charge the battery and to sync with outlook using Kies.
With a full battery and my contacts loaded, I moved on the rooting and installing SRE. I then installed a bunch of apps, including ADW, ShopSavvy, and a bunch of games.
I then tried to get on the Market to download a few more apps. I forgot to 'emulate' T-Mobile to get around the AT&T censorship, so I fired up MarketAccess. I got an error message saying that MarketAccess couldn't get SU privs. That made no sense, since the phone was rooted, and SRE installed SuperUser. I downloaded the latest copy of Superuser and installed that. The SU problem was now fixed. (Turns out there was a glitch in the SRE I used. Designgears quickly fixed the zip file, but I was already using the glitchy one.)
Anyway, after loading a slew of apps/games, I plugged the phone back into the desktop to charge the battery some more. I got two error messages, one on the phone, and one on the desktop.
The phone complained that it was not on an 'idle' screen, since ADW was running. Since I had set ADW to be the default launcher, I used TitaniumBackup to temporarily uninstall ADW. (I couldn't figure out how to stop ADW and set TW back to the default.)
The desktop is more or a serious problem. I am now getting an info bubble saying that the USB DEVICE IS NOT RECOGNIZED.
The correct USB drivers are installed. I've used them to ODIN my previous phone back to stock. And they were working fine before I added SRE, ADW, etc.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. Didn't help.
I tried USB Debugging, on and off. Didn't help.
I tried the age-old trick of unplugging the desktop and leaving it unplugged for 30 minutes. Didn't help.
So, here are my questions:
1) Does anyone know how to correct the DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED error?
2) If not, is there anyway for me to restore the phone to stock without USB connectivity?
The phone still functions fine, just no USB. I was able to download the new SRE (with SuperUser fixed) using Dolphin browser. I then used My Files to rename and move the zip file to the root directory, and was able to install it fine. Is this same approach possible to restore to stock?
Thanks in advance...
Uninstall the usb drivers. Not sure what there called when kies installs it

I had a similar problem and it turn out that Kies hosed up all my drivers...The only way I got it fix was by totally removing any trace of Kies and then uninstalled all my samsung drivers and usb drivers and then rebooted my pc. Then I reinstalled the samsung drivers and win 7 did the rest...
Well, I haven't uninstalled Kies yet. Although I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers from the ODIN thread. No difference.
I even uninstalled the ODIN referred drivers and tried the drivers directly from the Samsung site. Still no difference.
I'll go ahead and try uninstalling Kies and then the ODIN drivers, reinstall the ODIN drivers and see if that helps.
I've also ordered a new cable, since I've read a few threads on other forums where the problem was bad cables. I was going to go to AT&T and get a new cable, but they want $24.99. I just ordered a pair from Amazon at $3.99 each, with free shipping!!
Thanks...off to try ridding myself of Kies...
Well, deleting Kies (and associated drivers) didn't help!
After deleting Kies, I tried both the ODIN referenced drivers, as well as those from the Samsung site. Still not working!
I guess I'll wait on a new cable and see if that helps...
Okay, I think I'm in BIG TROUBLE here!!!
New cables arrived today, but they made no difference at all! Still getting the USB Device Not Recognized message. Doesn't matter if I plug the cable in while the phone is on and select any of the connection options (Kies, Mass Storage, etc.). It gives me the same message when I have Odin running and plug the phone in while holding the volume keys.
To further add to the problem, I tried installing the Odin referenced USB drivers on my wife's laptop which has never seen this phone or Kies. SAME PROBLEM!
I'm thinking there might actually be something wrong with the physical port on the phone. But this highlights my actual problem...
How can I return the phone (for the second time) when this phone has been rooted and is running SRE 1.2.1a ?!?!?
Apparently, there's no way for me to restore this thing to stock without USB.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Relax dude--I just got a captivate a few weeks ago, and have it working on tmobile.
For the drivers, when you plug your phone in, you're getting some errors. I know you uninstalled the drivers, but to double-check, open up device manager and see if there are any ! marks for the phone. Right-click and uninstall the entries. Also, you might try using a different USB port. I can only get my phone to connect using one of the 6 usb ports i've tried. Finally, and I don't know if these are the drivers for Odin, but I downloaded these drivers: SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2
When the phone connects, you might want to go to device manager, find the device(s), righ-click and and select 'update driver'. then, in the driver update window, pick 'manual' or 'let me specify location' and navigate to the unzipped SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2 file. Then, it should work.
Like I said, I have no idea if those are the drivers for odin...but I'm about to find out
I'd like to relax, but I think I'm dealing with a phone with a bad usb port...and since I've rooted, SRE'ed, etc., I won't be able to return it.
Anyway...
The driver you're using is the 'direct from Samsung' version, not the one for Odin.
Regardless, I've been through the exercise you propose...both with the Samsung and Odin drivers. When you attempt to manually install drivers, you need to point the installer to the ".inf" setup information file to use. The Samsung driver has three: SSADADB2.inf, SSADBUS.inf, and SSADMDM2.inf.
I get the following message when trying to use any of these three setup files:
The specified location does not contain information about your hardware.
Oh, and I've tried several different USB ports on the computer...both on my external hub and directly into the back of the machine.
Thanks for the suggestions, but still not working...
I'm really thinking I have a bad port on the phone...especially since trying the connection on my wife's laptop produces the exact same error.
Dam...
Still trying to find a way to restore the phone to stock without a USB connection...
i also have this "DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED" on my sony x1.
Drivers
I was having trouble using the USB drivers from Samsung the one's you were using SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2. The computer didn't recognize the phone. If you havn't tryed these already give these a try. Well since I am new I can't post the url. Put these words together (forum.xda-developers com archive index.php t-730638)

Not sure different USB drivers would help, but I went to the thread you show and tried to download the 32bit drivers. This is what I get:
{"error": "Invalid access attempt for this token"}
Oh well, thanks anyway.
I'm still thinking that the problem is hardware on the phone. I've tried four different cables, and three different computers. All show same problem of DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED.
Still trying to figure out how to restore to stock without USB connection for ODIN so I can exchange for a new phone...
What are your USB settings on the device? Do you have debug mode enabled or maybe you've set the device to connect to kies right away which is producing errors on your PC. What versions of windows have you been trying to connect to? This sounds like a windows problem more than anything else.
No modifications, same error
I didn't make any modifications to my new AT&T Captivate, and I too am getting USB Device not recognized under any of the following conditions:
- drivers installed, no Kies
- drivers installed after Kies
- Kies installed after drivers
No response to any USB connection mode (Kies, mass storage, media player, PC INternet).
Only way to exchange files is to physically remove the SD card and plug it into my PC. Windows XP Professional.
By the way, which of the three drivers is the correct one: ssadadb2.inf, ssadbus.inf, or ssadmdm2.inf? Pardon my ignorance as to how this is supposed to work.

You should return your phone if it's new if you can't get your computer to recognize it when you have the correct settings and drivers.
Choose, mass storage. I use the drivers from ODIN, I also have to ones from Samsung's site but they are for Windows 7 64bit. Before you plug any Captivate into a PC for the first time you need to first change the settings to USB Mass storage or Kies will attemp to download drivers. Once you get your phone to mass storage windows should find the drivers. I am not sure, I am running Windows 7, I have an old desktop that runs XP, I could plug my phone in and check for you.

Follow the installation instructions. This will allow you to use the command ADB download to get your phone into download mode. Kies screws my drivers so I don't use it.

The 2 folders I found that have the drivers are /program files/android/, .... and /program files/samsung. Delete these subfolders that have drivers in them.
Download this : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N4GC49JL and unzip. In the folders inside (i386 and amd) there are uninstallers. Run whichever version is appropriate for you. If you have no drivers or it doesn't say to reboot, the main folder has a setup program. Run that to install the proper drivers. When you plug in to usb, it will now find these drivers.
Also, for me, ONLY the REAR usb ports work properly with this. Top, front, and ext hub ALL give issues.....

I haven't tried ADB, but I'm not understanding how ADB would be able to connect when the connection to the computer is failing at the driver level. I guess I can give it a try tomorrow.
Thanks for trying to help!
What would REALLY help me is for someone to post a backup taken of a completely stock (ODIN'ed) phone using ROM manager. I'm thinking I could load that on the phone and then be able to return it for a new phone!
Any volunteers...please?

Just got my first Android device a couple hours ago (went from ATT Bold to Captivate), and could not get the phone to mount to my PC.... followed your instructions here and BAM! Perfect-o! I have now rooted....
OK, not sure where to go next... was thinking about just getting a new ROM flashed since I am totally stock at this point.... the fun begins!!!

Great!! Glad it all worked for you. My next advice is, before adding anything READ A LOT!!! =) Decide what you want from the descriptions and issues you will see in the threads....
Happy modding!!
I didn't see, I just skimmed through bit did you try to put the phone in download mode and see if windows sees that (different drivers come in to play in download mode and none of the touch wiz stuff is running)? it would test the idea of a bad port.
then you can still always install linux and use adw from there, linux and macs don't need drivers. if that doesn't work, put insurance on the phone if you haven't already then drop it in the sink and get another one.
also I think although I don't know but I think adw may have something to do with it. and incorrectly uninstalling it. first put the phone in download mode then you can work from there on ways to fix that.

Ok, I've given up trying to get this to work. I'm 100% convinced this is a hardware problem with the phone!
I had another thread going, looking for a way to restore this phone (remove SRE, SU, etc.) without usb/ODIN so I could return it to AT&T. I've figured out how to restore it to stock and will be heading to AT&T in the morning.
Thanks to everyone for their patience and assistance!
Hey,
I just rooted my Milestone and installed the latest CM7 ice & Fire, got the google apps and all that stuff done and the final problem I cannot solve is this:
It does not connect to the Motorola Phone Portal thingy, it says that it cant install the MTP USB Device which means I cannot connect to the portal to import my backup of contacts (MotoContacts.bak).
How can I solve this? I need to either fix the access to portal or something that can read out all the stuff from .bak...
Thank you,
Martin
set up your gmail account...
enable sync...
we have contact(s)
Uh, no
None of my previously on-sim-card and then attached-to-gmail/facebook contacts are there
Well it can't be that hard to get it to work.
Maybe you can try and re install the motorola PC software
Hey,
thanks for taking your time with this!
I have tried reinstalling the usb drivers with the portal numerous times and no luck since everytime i connect the phone it starts doing its own installing drivers thing which fails. I can connect to the MediaSuite but that cant handle the contacts.
I searched this and found the following quotes but no solution:

Edit: and another bug I found is in the camera app, if I select AAC for audio when recording video it Force Closes, and 12kbps for audio is just to low, so its kind of a major bug that needs to be fixed if possible, hope you can fix it
Forma portale and sync you have to reinstall portal.apk;
AAC bug corrected thx to kabaldan

I've added a few apps to my S3 and altered a few things on my PC and now I can't connect via mtp or ptp. It goes through the usual "installing drivers" and then fails. I've tried pulling the battery and removing the sim and micro sd card then putting everything back. Tried it without the card (currently having to transfer files via a card reader so - at least the card's fine) but to no avail.
I've had a go at uninstalling the drivers through the device manager, rebooting and scanning for hardware changes. I've tried downloading the drivers without kies but it didnt work out (I cant remember the site or the url, but ended up with the following file SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones) It didn't auto install but even when I tried to point Windows to the folder on my C drive, nothing.
I've spent a couple of hours trawling the net including on here and tried all sorts.
I'm rooted, using the stock 4.1.2 ROM with Windows 7.
I can't use Kies as when it was installed the first time it wrecked all my Synctoy sync's so I really could do with another option please guys.
Dial *#7284# on your phone to access PhoneUtil and select 'Qualcomm USB Settings' at the bottom.
Now select 'MTP + ADB' and press 'OK' to return to the previous screen. Now press your 'Back' key to exit PhoneUtil. Your phone is now back to default USB operation.

Thanks for the quick reply.I did that and it was set to mtp + adb...
When I then connected it it tried installing the driver and I got..
Driver device software was not installed.
Please consult with your device manufacturer for assistance getting this device installed
MTP USB Device X Failed
I tried updating the MTP drivers again from device manager but this time got
Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
SAMSUNG Mobile MPT Device
This device cannot start (code 10)
From what I'm reading it's a computer error not the phone. Can anyone suggest a new set of drivers to download (that doesnt involve Kies) as I've had issues with picking up harmful software from random sites when I've been struggling to find drivers.
I tried using the suggestion at the bottom of here r.e.Portable Devices and deleting the Upperfilters string Link but also to no avail.
Oh, and yes I've tried different ports and cables.
Well that's me done for the evening! I've tried everything mentioned in this thread including updating java and windows media player and all the afformentioned stuff but still no dice.
Could it be the actual drivers or a random windows 7 setting that I haven't yet tweaked since my clean install of windows??

Cheers, yeah, I was going to try them but I wasn't at my pc at the time I wrote that. I've downloaded the exe package but now it seems there are still drivers to uninstall - I uninstalled the drivers through device manager and went into my C drive and removed the SAMSUNG folder with the USB drivers in it. I'll restart the pc and hope that helps with the removal....

It made no difference whatsoever. I used a utility to check for an remove the samsung drivers (USBDeview) as well as uninstalling through device manager and removing with windows "products and features" but even then, when I tried installing the new drivers it mentioned previous drivers. I restarted after each stage of the process.
I've even tried connecting it in download mode and it shows in device manager.
Could there be some remnant of the software I used to root that phone that might be causing the issue??
I'm due to leave the country in 5 days and have loads of things to sort (also have a family member going into hospital for major surgery tomorrow) so I can't just devote all my time to this - but I need to at least know that it's not the phone (I dont have another win 7 computer to try it on).

Hi,
So, I went and bought the Razr I phone, despite the language question was hard to me.
But anyway, now I have other hard issue: How to transfer files between the phone and a WinXp computer, when there is no "Mass storage" option in USB computer connection on the phone.
The "Media device (MTP)" mode seems not to work with XP, but "Camera (PTP)" works. But I can see only DCIM and Pictures folders from the computer.
I'm not sure, where they are even located: on the phones internal memory or on the memory card (there is 8gb micro-sd).
An interesting feature was, that when the phone was connected to Win7 pc in camera-mode, I could see the both memory spaces and all the folders.
Why can't I see the folders on XP? The phone is with the stock ROM (81.5.39001.XT890.Retail.en.GB / Android 4.0.4).
And why there is not "Mass storage"-option despite my old Defy with CM9 and the same Android 4.0.4 version had the option.
Edit. Solution - see post #8
For a long time I didn't use XP but I assume You need to install whole driver pack to see MTP on XP. I suggest to look for mod to enable Mass Storage Mode on Razr I. I saw this mod somewhere here but completely don't remember haw it was named.
I could find only one driver package from Motorola: Motorola Device Manager 2.4.5
But that didn't help. After connecting the phone with USB-cable, my pc recognizes the phone, but then requires a MTP driver.
Weird that no driver-CD did not come with the phone original package.

It is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297888. Works really good.
But if you are on 4.0.4 You can find on this forum mod of the framework with USB mass storage enabled.
But you have to be rooted.
Yes, the phone is on stock 4.0.4 version as I have owned it just few days.
The phone suggested an update (91.2.29001.en.GB), but I didn't update. I was happy with CM9 4.0.4 version in my Defy, and same version seems to run smoothly on Razr I too. And by the update, I would possibly loose the FM radio function.
Hopefully the mod on this forum is easily described, I'm a low-level rookie with customizing Android. However is was delightful to install CM9 to my Defy with good instructions on this forum.

You can try this one method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005541

Make a back up at first.
I've just found, that there are some MTP drivers for WinXP:
Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit and then Windows Media Player 11 (which includes the driver)
Lets see if one of them work first. Otherwise I have to say goodbye to the phones warranty.
Edit. Case solved. I installed Media Player 11 and then selected Motorola USB Composite Device driver in WinXP device manager for the phone.
Now it works, despite not so simply as USB mass storage option did. I'll spare the warranty so far if something comes ahead.
Thanks for help.
Don't worry about warranty. In this days You can root without bootloader unlock and use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297888. Yesterday I tried to download 7GB of movies from my RAZRi card by MTP and when I saw transfer speed around 1MB/s exactly the same as on WiFi I searched some and this is easiest working way for USB Mass Storage.
hi
im trying to use ADB to delete some bloatware off of my phone, but im having troubles doing so because it cannot find my device. ive tried updating the drivers for it through Device Manager but the phone is not listed there. however, it shows up in My Computer and i am able to transfer files onto it.
are there any other solutions or possible fix for this?
thanks.
I'm new here so I can't post links. I was having the same problem with the Adb version I was using with my old phone (mostly getting "device offline" errors).
Google "15 seconds Adb". Its an up-to-date installer that weights almost nothing and includes all the necesary drivers.
Deleted Whats New with no problem.

yes i do
my computer is able to recognize my nexus 5 so idk whats going on
Have you installed the three things that come with the installer? (Adb+fastboot+drivers)?
Also: have you installed the propietary Sony software for Xperia interaction (can't remember the name, probably Xperia Connect or something like that) ? Maybe that has some drivers that you need.
I asume you also have installed the Google USB drivers installed (use 32 bit version, NOT 64).
I'm just naming all these because I had all of them already installed before I downloaded 15 seconds adb, so maybe they interact somehow and that's why it works for me.
Also make sure you are using latest version of everything.
Edit: did you get on your phone the debugging alert when you connected it?
Edit 2: please post what commands you enter into the cmd.
