My sister has the same phone as me, and I havent flashed a new rom for her since she bought it. (shes running SRE 1.2.1a)
I had no problems with this phone before, but now when I went to plug it up just to backup all her stuff my PC won't recognize it. "USB Device Not Recognized" message on PC.
Its set on USB mass storage mode, and USB debugging is checked. I also tired manually installing the driver again, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
Long shot but try a different usb port.
Where did you get the usb drivers. There are a couple of sources. Maybe trying a second source may help.

tried different ports, also just tried a different computer. Still no luck.
I want to try to just flash a different rom through rom manager, but i dont wanna brick it. If the phone is messed up she can at least use it with her old rom.
Where did you get the drivers. There are some provided by samsung, and there are different drivers that can be found on this forum

Both phones on the same PC? I'm guessing the could be the cause of the problem. First off, I'd try connecting her phone using another computer. You might try a fresh boot on the PC and the phone.
Did you "mount the drive" which is done from the pull-down menu on the 'phone which comes up right after the USB cable is plugged in. If that does not come up, I'd guess the "two phones on one computer" might be the problem.
I 've downloaded the LG thrill driver and everytime I connect the phone to my pc, drives E and F pop up but when I click on them it says please insert disk into drive. I've formatted the F drive and still the same thing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Did you mount them on your phone? In your notification bar, there should be a notification that you connected a USB and if you click on it, it should give you the option to connect to the PC.
Yes. I clicked the option to enable usb on the phone.

When you installed the drivers, did it show that all of them were successfully installed? Maybe try re-installing them?
Did you go into sd and storage settings and uncheck mass storage mode only? Uncheck that to enable the other usb modes and devices.

so i re-installed the drivers and made sure mass storage was unchecked and i still get the same thing. only this time the phone shows up in the devices window, but i can't do anything with it excpet view the properties of the phone. Is there some sort of software interface that i need to dl? Thank you again for your assistance
What operating system are u on. I connected mine without manually installing any drivers on windows 7
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
windows 7 as well.
Which cable are you using? have you tried a different one?
when you put the drivers on did you manually install them or did you run through the process windows does after plugging in the phone
And are you positive you got the correct drivers? Remember...uninstall the old drivers before attempting new install

-installed and reinstalled Kies several times
-Installed and reinstalled drivers several times
-Tried 4 different usb cables

My phone connects to the pc and then i get a message that my phone is not recognized (windows error 43)
The phone does charge . I have tried all of the options like Samsung Kies , Mass storage , Media player
Nothing seems to work when i select media player option the mpt application starts to crash , i have read on forums that if the mtp crashes i can just select mass storage mode but when i select mass storage mode my pc says device not recognized
When i checked the Build info it says on Kernel Version 2.6.29 [email protected] #4
Firmware version is 2.1-update-1

Are you absolutely sure that the guy sold it coz he WANTED to, & not coz he HAD to??
It's quite probable that he damaged it & then since can't fix it, so sold it away!
Anyway, Try factory reset!
If that doesn't work,
Use the Volume DOWN+Home+Power button combo to get into DOWNLOAD MODE, THEN see if the PC detects a device connected. With all those drivers, it should.
If it does, then you can go ahead & flash it using Odin, or EZOdin

I just got my Note last week. I am trying to sync my phone to laptop. But somehow, it gets stuck on "connecting". Any tips or other alternatives? Thanks in advance. I plan on rooting my phone. Thats why I need to back up my phone first. Thanks in advance!
What OS are you using? Did you install the USB drivers?
Windows. Yes I in stalled it. But somehow it says that its not properly installed. And problems may occur. I dont know the reason. I tried, reinstalling it, but still same problem. Can I sync it wirelessly?
Hi.
I had the same problem, but it worked after I unchecked the USB Debugging.

Your problem is most probably the usb debugging uncheck it and your phone is in kiesmode
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Try uninstalling, downloading from the country website your phone is from. Or your csc is from. Download from the N7000 page kies. Then install and run as admin. If it doesnt connect perform the connection wizard, or connection troubleshooting. that will reinstall drivers. These steps work for me everytime.

Do a software update over wifi for your phone and downdload the latest kies from official website.

Sorry if this is a stupid answer but I was having a lot of trouble connecting my note to the PC. I was using a cable I used for all my phones that worked fine. Someone told me to try it with the cable Samsung supplied and after that it all worked fine. I just thought it might be worth trying.

Kies Air doesn't do that. The main (PC) KIES app does. But, even if you connect through KIES, it will only allow you to back up things like contacts, photos, ringtones etc. It won't be a full backup of your system.
What can help if KIES doesn't see your phone:
1. Installing the latest version of KIES (which you already did)
2. Making sure your phone is in the MTP (not USB memory) mode. It should be as a default, unless you actually click on "USB memory" button when connecting to PC
3. Unchecking "USB debugging"
4. Running the connection repair wizard in KIES (I have a local language version, so I don't know the exact English name) - this reinstalls drivers - and then connecting again.
5. Trying a different USB port or cable
6. Rebooting both the phone and computer
If all fails, then probably this is a problem with Windows drivers. Repairing this would require a bit of expertise and involves booting Windows in safe mode, checking which devices and drivers are actually installed and removing any that seem suspicious. If you have never done that, an easier option would be installing KIES on another computer and doing the backup there.
Theoretically, running the connection repair wizard in KIES should clean and reinstall the right drivers for your phone, but in practice this doesn't always work as it should.
Guys, I am just stuck.
I've tried installing the drivers. I've tried two different PC's. I've tried mounting USB storage and without. With debugging and without. But I can't get the captivate to mount with usb.
Can anyone help me?

I've tried a motorolla, kindle, and a galaxy nexus usb cable. No difference.
I tried the front usb port and the back usb port on my desktop and one usb port on my laptop. No difference.
I can get into download mode, I don't know if Odin recognizes my phone though. Do I need drivers for that?
Odin will work with the samsung captivate drivers.

Are you installing the right ones? I mean, I've ran Odin on all Windows from xp and up (currently on W8).
Also, you could give Heimdall a shot (use a different USB port).

Heimdall is a bit different, it installs it's own drivers (hence why I mentioned to use on a different USB port).

And any samsung usb cable can do the trick, don't need to original per say. BB cable don't work for sure (data pins don't connect), I'm not sure about the others.

Actually, there *might* be. It's quite the shot in the dark though. I can't test it atm (Cappy is at home and I'm at work).
Look for TRusselo. In his sig, there's a 3e recovery fix (it's a bat file that removes the security check when trying to flash). But since it's supposed to be done through USB cable, you would have to grab the file it replaces and move it yourself using a file explorer (with root rights). Don't forget to make a backup of the original file
You could then put speedmod kernel (zip) on your internal, flash speedmod in recovery. (You might have to rename it to update.zip)
I know it seems a lot for rooting but it's the only way I can think of without a USB cable.
If that doesn't work, you will most likely have to get your USB port replaced.

I actually tried something similar last night but I'm confused about one thing.
How do I replace the recovery to allow me to install the update.zip without having root rights in the first place? It kept saying I'm not allowed to do that.

A file explorer with root rights. ES file explorer, Root Explorer, etc. are apps that allow it.
