[Q] Windows shows 'unknown device' in Download mode.. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is probably getting boring to some people now but i am having a major issue with Odin detecting my phone when it is in Download mode.
Once i connect the phone after loading up Odin and holding the 3 button combo, Windows installs 2 more drivers - USB Device and then Unknown Device. Then nothing, Odin just sits there and no yellow box glows or a COM port showing the phone is connected. I have tried installing Kies originally and using the drivers from that with no success, then i used the standalone driver packages available from softpedia and several other websites with no luck. What i can't understand is, when i connect the phone to my computer in it's normal state it has no problems and allows me to transfer files, access both the internal and external SD but shows as an 'unknown device' in the Device Manager when in Download mode... Why??!!
Somebody please help me!

Which rom are you using?
Also did you try this on some other PC/Laptop?

I have not tried it on a different computer yet, not sure if i need to considering it connects normally when the phone is on, just not in Download mode... I really don't know what's going on!!

Stock rom shouldn't have this problem.. you should either uninstall everything related to samsung from your computer and then start again or try connecting to a different PC.. you'll be able to find out whether this problem is just with the single system or not

I always run up Odin, then use the 3 buttons to get to download mode and then connect to USB port.

I had the same problem, then I finally got it to work.
Try this:
First off, you may need to try several different versions of Odin. The one I finally got to work on my phone was V1.85. you can find a collection of different versions to download here: http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/odin-multi-downloader-flasher-program.html
Next, Load up Odin. Plug in you phone to the USB port with phone powered on, remove the battery on the phone. While holding the 3 buttons down (Volume up, down & power) put the battery back in. Wait for the text to start to scroll, let go of the buttons. When it gets to the menu, unplug the USB, then plug back in. The yellow box in Odin should say it's connected. If not you may have to do this a couple of times.
Now this is the part I can't remember...I think what I did from here is chose the recovery option in the menu. Sorry I don't remember exactly what i did, I was a noob when I did it, and I think I got lucky.
I do remember that Odin would not flash it until I finally got to the screen with the picture of the android in the construction hat, or something like that.
Maybe someone with more experience can help with this part.

I had the same problem

The fix is: Use the USB JIG to get into download mode.

Update your PC USB driver for SGS1. Follow the OP on this link:

Please help...big problem....

Big problem. Suddenly my phone will not turn on. Sits at the white Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen and does not boot. When I put it into download mode and plug it into computer, its suddenly saying "USB Device Not Recognized".
What do I do? PC won't recognize it, it wont boot. can't flash it.....I'm freaking out here...
Did you flash anything to it or root it?

Hi Rick. Try to re-install samsung usb drivers. during this time, take out the battery from the phone. once finished installing the drivers, put back the battery into the phone. Go into downloading mode. Fire up odin, put in the necessary firmwares + pit files. Once done, then CONNECT your phone to the usb port of your computer.
Hope it's okay.
Edit: Let's hope that it is the computer usb drivers are corrupted. Alterntively, if you still can't do it, try it on another pc.
Nope. I was rebooting it to flash XXJPC to it, but couldnt do so because it was saying that USB message and wouldnt detect it. So I went into recovery, did a factory reset, and now it wont boot.
Another computer does the same thing *tears*
*BUMP*
Lets try a different route. I will pay a generous sum of money to anyone who offers to and does manage to fix this for me?
rick, looking at this, if your usb is not recognised, it is either the pc or the phone usb port might be damaged.
if it is a hardware issue, then use the bounty to get it fix.
I was at that same point with my vibrant. After failed attempts of getting into download mode using buttons, here's what I did.
Download and install samsung usb drivers and android sdk.
Plug into the computer and use adb to get into download mode (adb reboot download).
Then flash with odin.
Doing that worked for me when nothing else would. Try it ?

I can get into download mode just fine.....my pc just doesnt recognize the usb device. tried 3 differente pc's, 2 running win7 and one running xp.
Did you install usb drivers on each of the machines?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
I installed the samsung USB driver executable. and I also tried to use those drivers that it installs to manually update the "unknown USB device" in device manager, but they won't take.
Try uninstalling all drivers, then stick a MicroSD in your phone before plugging it into the usb.
Assuming you have Samsung Kies in your PC, try to upgrade it at 1.5.1.10074_45.
How long do you wait the boot?? The first boot after flash is very long, wait at least 5 minutes with flashing "S".
I did not just flash anything. My phone got really hot and laggy (as I was using it while charging it via USB port) and so I rebooted phone in an attempt to resolve the lag. when I did, it would not go past the WHITE Samsung Galaxy S I9000 screen, does not get to the flashing S screen.

if i understood you correctly, you have two separate problems:
a) your phone does not boot up
b) your phone is not recognized by any computer when plugged in
could be a coincidence, but probably is not. i'm guessing your bootloader got screwed up somehow. if it is a coincidence, it could be that your usb port on the phone is effed, or your usb cable is dead. try first using a different cable and see if your phone can be recognized by any computer. perhaps then you can go into download mode and reflash.
also, have a look at this post, might help you (although, if your usb is effed, there's not much point in trying any solution that involves your phone being connected to a computer): http://androidforums.com/780720-post3.html
EDIT: also, have your tried the obvious stuff, like pulling battery?
I ve seen many threads with the white screen problem ... it has in most cases been the drivers ... you desinstall all drivers from pc using Kies option for resinstall the drivers ... then you pull the battery off few sec (give it a min or two) then you get to download mode and you flash the beast ... dont connect your phone before launching odin or else it will not be recognized ...
for the few other people who didn't manage to fix it ... it was a hardware failure
That post you linked, is worth a try. But its for a motorola.....Where do I get my SGS bootloader to use instead?
ohh you were implying to try to use the motorola usb drivers?

I never said anything about a white screen. and I am not uneducated on flashing SGS, or using Odin. Far from it. My phone was first showing USB symbol when it wasnt plugged into USB port, then phone started running really hot while charging and got really bloated like it was overheating. So I rebooted and its now force closing at the first boot animation. I can get into download mode and recovery, but will not recognize in any of the 3 computers all running different versions of windows on them, with either of my USB cables that I tried.

Help! Odin not seeing phone!?

Ive got my phone into a boot loop state because I messed up when trying to restore a previous backup of CM7 that I had.
Okay I thought, this is not a problem I will just do a clean flash of something via odin with my phone in download mode. This is where the problem lays. Odin can not see my phone when its in download mode and plugged in via USB! I have flash roms via Odin before so know what I'm doing.
I've tried it on 2 windows 7 64bit laptops and different USB ports but both are the same! could this be a driver issue? I have Kies installed on both and have manually tried installing the driver too.
Other things to note is that I can't get into recovery mode but no problem getting into download. Also when I plug the phone into charge it doesnt come up with the battery symbol but only the circle of rectangles like it is loading the battery symbol which never appears.
Anyone know what is going on?
Sorry for bad english.
I had problem like yours - pc don't recognized my phone (odin too) and shows only battery charge. i tried on 3 different pc's, installed kies, pc studio, drv, tried 2 differnt cables.
And the problem was... Cables

If you are CM7, you may need Nexus S Drivers.
See this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061946&page=879
Download and extract to folder.
When phone connected, locate it in your computers devive manager and update driver and point to your folder where you extracted for installation.
Thanks spaikas!
I guess I will have to go out and buy a new cable to try that. One thing though is that even when I plug it into the mains power adaptor I still get the circle of rectangles as well as when its plugged into my PC (with the supposedly defective cable). So does this suggest that the circle of rectangles is not caused by a bad cable? but still my cable being bad could be a culprit for odin not seeing it.

Thanks. I have downloaded and extracted the driver. But I can't find my phone in device manager. Does the phone have to be in download mode for windows to be able to see it. Do you know roughly what it would be called?

No, actually enable USB debugging and go into CWM recovery and connect, mine was showing as Samsung Galalxy S or Android phone. Check in USB devices as well.

I can't get into CWM! Is there no way to install the Nexus S driver without having the phone plugged in because otherwise I have no idea what I'm going to do....
It was my cable! Sorry for wasting your time guys but it was just a very unlucky coincidence that my cable must of broke at the same time that I messed up my phone and needed to do a odin flash! Anyway managed to get my hands on another cable and now odin can see my phone!

[Q] Firmware Update Fail ! (this ones different)

So I have the i896 version of the Captivate, and I really want Cynagen Mod on it but I can't seem to get it to work. I was at the point where I Heimdal installer, it flashed it and rebooted and now I'm at the "Firmware Upgrade Fail ! Try using recovery mode" screen.
Here is where it gets interesting, the heimdal had me install new USB drivers which my computer no longer seems to recognize. I've tried reinstalling them and checking Odin to see if it detects my phone but nothing. Any suggestions?
--- UPDATE
I have downloaded the latest USB drivers onto my laptop, giving it a shot now.
--- UPDATE 2:
new drivers not working still.
that "Firmware Upgrade Fail ! Try using recovery mode" is actually download mode....if you are having connection problems then read this thread for all possible solutions...Connection Issues
If you want to use ODIN then install samsung drivers, if you want to use heimdall you use the drivers that it provides. That screen is probably Download mode just need to make sure you are using correct drivers.
If you install the zadig drivers (for Heimdall), it only installs then to one port. If you install then on port 3 now, they won't be on port 2. On my laptop, i have Samsung drivers in 1 port,zadig on another. Also if you install zadig on one port, you can't use Samsung drivers on that port again without reinstalling them.
I appreciate the help, for some reason the only way it would work was if I:
Removed the battery
Removed the USB cable
Held the Vol Up + Vol Down buttons
Insert USB Cable
Insert Battery, so now I am going to try to use the Odin again.
So this can't be good, now my phone boots and it has really faint diagonal dotted lines across the screen, and suggestions?
Sound like you need to flash to stock and start over.

Any suggestions on how to get it back to download mode to be able to do that? I'm using the jig and the technique listed above, still the dotted diagonals.
Apparently in some weird way the download screen got jacked, because Odin seems to be working on it, I will update when I get more info, thanks again for all of the help this far.

Captivate stuck on phone-!-computer screen, even with jig

So I was flashing a stock rom from Odin, and Odin froze, so I unplugged the phone and took out the battery. Now, when I try to get into download mode, all I get is a screen with a phone-!-computer. Even with a usb jig, it just goes to this screen. My captivate is also not recognized by the computer when I plug it in when its on the phone-!-computer screen.

Yea more or less. The weird thing is it was detected before and odin was able to start the flash. But it hung after it said do not disconnect the device so I was forced to unplug it. Now I just don't see anything at all.

But I don't see the Libusb tab in device manager when I plug my phone in.
When u initially installed the drivers for Heimdall, they only installed to the usb port that u were connected to. So u need to be plugged into that specific port and then u should see it in the Device Manager.
And u really don't need to uninstall the drivers that u need for Heimdall, as long as u installed them after u installed the drivers from Kies. See this post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19998299&postcount=115

What did you try before it was recognized? Did you just plug and replug the usb into the computer until it worked?
Mine did this before, when I accidently forgot to convert back to RFS before flashing back to stock, and I thought I was totally screwed. After this screen comes up the first time it will not go away, even if a download jig is used, until you get a good flash.
Try this:
Open your Odin, and have it ready with whatever you were trying to flash to begin with. Pull the battery on your phone, put your download jig in, and now put your battery in. It will still be the error screen that comes up. Pull your jig, and now plug your phone in. It should show on Odin now, and this flash should take correctly.

Also make sure the USB port you are using is a direct link to your board. I always use one of the original USB 2 ports on the back of my computer. Not using a USB hub either, but straight from the port to your phone.

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:

if you want do same job; you can download it from google play easily!
and install recovery,rom or restore backup with it.

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.

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".
