Hi to all i got a Samsung Captivate in Download Mode and I cannot do anything because my pc recognize it as unknown device. I installed and uninstalled drivers from forum and from samsung url but still the same problem. I downloaded AIO pack and installed the drivers but still no luck! I installed KIES but still nothing.... any ideas how to fix and flash my phone again to stock fw????
Thank You in advance
Have you tried multiple ports?
Delete drivers, dl again but don't install. When plug in message for unknown device pops up click it and select option to find drivers. Navigate to the file where dl is
May work

Sorry typo. Once again long shot but plug phone in click on the unkown device. Navigate to android sdk I think under extras then Google add one there is USB. Click on it then ok. See if it can find drivers that works

not compatible with x64 windows
Make sure you have the most recent USB drivers installed in your sdk. You may need.to enter sdk manager first. I may be wasting your time.

I gave a try to another pc still the same Unknown Device. Is there any way to bring it back to life??????does anybody knows??
Hey I think I just bricked my device..
I had CM7 on my incredible s and just wanted to install the new official ICS, because I wanted to sell it.
So I downloaded the following RUU:
http://d-h.st/7UC
Everything finished, the phone booted and got stock at the HTC logo..
I had to leave for 1hour so i just let it on the htc logo.
When I came back home the screen was black and i couldn't turn it on.
When I plug in power the Led flashed 1 time orange and turned off again.
When I connect it to the pc via usb, I hear the usb plugged in sound on my pc but it doesn't show the device..
adb doesn't show the device when i put "adb devices"
Can anybody help me out?
I really need your help!!
Thank you very much!
What happened if you press power button?Atleast can you access recovery or bootloader mode? What was the battery % when you flash the Rom? Try some another battery it might be a problem of battery too.

Nothing happens when I push the power button.. It had enought battery, during the installation it was plugged into the computer and head power..
I can't get into bootloader / CWM because it doesn't even turn on..

Okay so I took the battery out for some minutes and inserted it back in again, now its stuck at the htc logo again..
What could be the problem that it isn't booting?
Can't I upgrade from CM7 to that RUU?

Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda app-developers app
Yes I used adb before, but I got a Galaxy Nexus a few days ago, so it could be that i deleted the drivers from the incredible s..
The incredible S isn't listed when I type in "adb devices".. and the pc says: unknown device when I'm in bootloader
Is your device S OFF or bootloader unlocked via HTC dev?

Thank you, but I already had that driver installed.. I checked the device manager and I saw that it has Android USB Devices: My HTC listed..
But when I run adb devices nothing is shown..
EDIT: Maybe thats because I didn't had the chance to turn on usb debugging?
EDIT 2: Would it be possible to install CMW from the sd card?

Ok download fastboot files which i have posted in link. Turn on your device. No problem when it stuck on HTC logo. Now run cmd file from my fastboot folder and run "adb reboot bootloader" and tell me is it working or not? I am waiting for your reply. It's already 12:30AM here but i will be very happy if i can help you to turn your device on.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54220763/Fastboot.zip
unfortunately it says device not found..
Thank you very much for your time!
Your my savior right now!
Any ideas?
Maybe installing something via sd card?

Okay so this is whats happening also:
When I plugin usb while in Bootloader it says: Unknown device
When I plug in USB while in fastboot it says: Android Phone: Android ADB Interface in device manager
Can I install something via sd card?
Atleast your phone stuck at HTC logo then it seems that your device is not bricked. If nothing happens then last way is only HTC service station or may be any dev can help you.

Hi folks,
I feel like a noob here.
When I have tried to update the phone the new formware I couldnt get into flashmode. This initially did not worry me as I have seen loads of posts about this and I know how to sort it.
I got home from work and unistalled all android software (Fastbbot, adb, sdk, pccompanion, sues) and reinstalled them. I tried again, no luck.
Now i thought i would try my wifes phone. Its not rooted. It went into flashmode straight away, so now I am ata loss.
Flashtool recognises my phone when turned on, it says all drivers are ok, but i get nothing on my phone when i try to connect it turned off...
Now, if anyone wants to help me and call me a noob please do...but this one has me vexed...
EDIT, Dont shout, I have already asked mods to move this to the Q&A section
Probably too much to say that you already tried a hard shutdown?
Else try a stock ROM/kernel. Maybe something went wrong with your current kernel

Tried it already. 3 vibrations, no luck
Also no output from flashtool?
I noticed once I didn't see led, but it was in flash mode..

you are pressing down not up on volume right mate?

You would get blue led in that case. So would be kinda obvious

Look guys, I can get my wife's phone into flash mode and she has an Xperia T, so it is nothing to do with which button I am pressing. I use the same cable and same usb port...
The last time I tried to get into flashmode or fastboot was before Xmas,
It is definitely to do with my phone..I really can't understand why flashmode is not connecting, in previous experience that has worked in all circumstances, but now nothing... Even though flashtool recognises the phone with the correct drivers when it is turned on...

No nothing, flashtool just acts like nothing has been connected... Pccompanion eventually times out as if nothing had been connected

My last guess is it's something in the Rom. Try flashing a 4.0.4 system.sin via fastboot, and access cwm to do factory reset (btw, you did try a different kernel right? You said you did it but wasn't clear of you meant only hard shutdown or kernel too)
My experience is also that it always works. Haven't encountered something like you have before so only shouting some possibilities.
Do say if you already tried something I say ofc.
Something else you can try is different pc (if you have access to one) Have heard of some cases that that did the trick

Sv: Flashmode advice
I had similar problem with my v some weeks ago, have two thoughts, have you switched between stock and cm kernel? Have you tried another pc?
Sent from my Xperia V using xda premium
Again, thanks for the advice but a couple of things.
I can't change kernel because the phone is not entering fast boot mode
I can't flash a stock ftf because the phone is not entering flash mode
Its not the pc because it works on my wife's Xperia t
I have already done a factory rest.
After work today I am going to try flashing a 303 Ron in recovery and hope I can do an ota update and hope that works...

Have you tried doing adb reboot bootloader to get into fastboot rather than doing it manually on boot? Or does adb not work either?

Hmm, Interesting,
first time i did it it just reboot the device
Second time, it briefly entered fastboot (Blue LED) PC started to install S1 boot driver then the phone rebooted and the driver failed to install
Third time, phone went into fastboot and stayed there but no sign of a driver install.....

I cant get into fastboot manually, only by using adb reboot bootloader.
Now the next thing to ask is, well are your volume buttons broke, but no, they work fine to turn the volume up and down with so its not that.
I have just managed to flash a different kernel so will try flash tool again.

Use one cmd/terminal window to adb reboot bootloader, while flashtool is open, has always gone straight to fastboot for me.

Yes, that gets me into fastboot, but i need to get into flashmode to repair the phone.
I am a bit of a nivice at adb
Currently I am charging my phone ready to try a repair. Now I have flashe d another kernel I will give it a go again. If this doesnt work I willflash a stock kernel and try and that...
It's possible to force a full power-off of the phone (not just a three-vibrations one).
I am not keen to post the instructions on the forum, as it isn't the nicest of methods (but it doesn't require you to open the case). PM me if you have no other options (if you can hook onto UART to see what is going wrong, that might be best)

Fastboot -w all
Will wipe data and caches, so should clear what ever is triggering the bypass of flashmode.
If really desperate you can also -w system, but then have no os... Handy if the os is causing the bypass, but not helpful if it's the bootloader..

Thanks, I will have a look at that, not sure I want to wipe system yet as I am not confideent of getting an OS back onto it...we will see.
EDIT
Fastboot -w all does not work. Command not recognised
I tried Unlock Root but it says I need Pro version.
Use this thread to flash recovery. Use GB recovery and ICS 1.25 bootloader. At boot with the ICS 1.25 bootloader you will have a silver lg logo instead of a red one. So dont worry it is normal.

Then use this zip to flash superuser for root.

Do you have the correct drivers installed and are they installed correctly? Put your phone into download mode: is your phone connected under ports and settings as "LGE CDMA USB SERIAL PORT (41)? If not you probably have the drivers installed wrong. Follow this post here-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40677839 to fix drivers step by step and it should fix your problems.
