Hello guys.
I got a galaxy s (GT-I9000) from someone, so don't know what theyve been doing with it. Anyway, when I try to turn the phone ON, either it goes to the cyanogen mod splashscreen and reboots, and does that on a loop. Or it simply doesnt turn on. I cannot get into recovery mode, however I can get into download mode. I usually have to pull the battery a few times before I can either turn it on or get into download mode. Yesterday, when I plugged it in USB while OFF, no indication of charging (atleast visual) on screen was visible. Today, I plugged it in USB while phone was OFF and the battery indicator is seen, but battery si empty and only white "cirsle" is on middle, doing nothing. It stays that way for about 20-30 seconds, then the screen goes black, and only the white circle thingy is seen for a few seconds, then goes back to battery with that circle.
Anyway, when I got it in download mode a few times, I tried to plug it in PC to do something with ODIN, but it doesnt detect it. Windows says "USB Device Not Recognized" with the yellow triangle. I searched threads here and on google, and tried all I could think of.
So, I tried to reinstall drivers atleast 3 times, rebooting the PC in the process, cleaning the registry each time. Tried all of my 6 USB ports on PC. Tried 2 USB cables.
I had a galaxy s before, and setup on my PC was fine (so the drivers, cables, usb ports) were all OK, I could use odin and all. Thats why I dont think the problem is on my PC, or I must be missing something.
I have win7 x64 for the record.
I would just like to get this phone to work, any suggestions?

go to any mobile maintenance shop near to you cause there is nothing you can do for that
That is the only solution? Is there nothing more I could try?

I will probobly try to get phone recognized by odin on a win XP pc today or tommo. IF that wont work, I read about something that JTAG could help me.. Can anyone confirm?
I'm having exactly the same problem actually. My son's S1 was running an old version of DarkyROM (back from when it was mine) and it got a bit messy so I decided to run it up to a CM9 nightly. Ran the Heimdall stuff as per instruction, got CM9 up and running but hosed it when I tried to flash the Google Apps package. From thereonin, formats and clearing everything leaves it upbootable but recovery and download are easily accessible. Odin just doesn't see it though.
Cause?
---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------
Oh yes, I might add that I can still mount by USB and upload ROMs etc. however trying to reinstall CM9 now gives me a Status 7 error and kicks me out. Grr.
---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------
Possibly solved. Go here:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/41704-cant-install-cwm-recovery-on-my-rooted-galaxy-s2/
Heimdall seems a little picky, so if it throws up an error when everything seems fine then run zadig.exe in the /drivers folder of the Heimdall install, Options > List All Drivers, select Samsung USB Composite device in the dropdown and Install/Replace the driver. Do this in download mode. Then use the Heimdall frontend to push the stock ROM to your phone as per that link.
Yep. Just checked. Phone now booting. Give me a shout and I'll help you do exactly what I did.
I can now confirm that the PC setup, drivers, cable and pc usb ports are all fine. Had another GT-I9000 from a friend and odin connected instantly, could flash stuff no problem.
So on my GT-I9000 something else must be the problem. Can anyone give me another option or is the JTAG my only option?
So when I turn the phone ON, "GALAXY S CyanogenMod" appears and loops... I cant get into recovery using VOL+ ; power ; menu (or any other button combo, must have tried everything) but I can get into download using VOL- ; power ; menu... But if I connect phone to PC, odin dont see it and windows says "USB Device Not Recognized".
I've heard of people getting connected with nexus drivers, who knows what was on the phone before right.?

When you press volume down + Home button + power on then you get the Download screen on the phone. However, that does not allow Odin to detect the phone and make the COM box turn yellow. You also need to press the volume up in order to activate the Download mode and turn the COM box yellow.
OKAY I have an update!!
I sent the phone to be JTAG(ged). I have no idea what they did, but the phone boots up now! I can use it normal, I can go to stock recovery or to download mode.
However, I have a new problem now. I cant connect the phone to PC with usb cable, it doesnt detect it. The phone makes the "sound" when I connect the usb cable, battery icon gets that electricity power icon, so it chatges, but on windows I get "USB device not recognized" with yellow triangle.
I tried it with USB debugging on AND off, I tried all 3 modes in usb settings (mass storage, kies, media player) and always same result.
Tried to connect while in download mode, even pressed volume up while connected (once tried to hold vol up, made no difference). Odin dont detect it, and windows says "USB device not recognized" with yellow triangle.
What could be the issue here? What else can I try? I will point out that PC setup should be fine (tried another I9000 from a friend worked no problem) but just in case, I will uninstall drivers, wipe registry, install new drivers, try every usb port and 2 usb cables to try to get it connected.
Any ideas?

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.
I am trying to put my captivate back to at&t stock 2.1 but odin does not recognize my phone, when i put it in download mode with debugging on, nothing happens. What should I do?
Does one of the boxes turn yellow? If not, it doesn't see it. If it turns yellow and says com: (some number), hit start.
Also make sure you have the right drivers installed.
Sent from a place my wife doesn't know about (yet)
no it does not go yellow!
Try a diff usb port maybe a motherboard type. Try restarting both pc and phone.uninstall drivers reinstall. Let windows install for you?...also the way I do it...have odin open and ready...have usb connected to pc...phone off… vol up vol down ... then plug into usb cord.
You should see little android guy digging, inside a bright yellow triangle.
I usually put my battery back in phone as soon as this pops up. You won't have a chance later, as phone should rboot automatically as part of odin process.
Sent from a place my wife doesn't know about (yet)
I tried all that. I tried having odin open already as administrator, then put phone into download mode while plugged in and still nothing happens
When was the last restore point you made on your computer? If it was recent uninstall drivers, restore from an earlier point, rienstall drivers, and reboot. I had this same issue and this is the only thing that got it working.
unfortunately my computer recently crashed so i no longer have my restore. Is there any way I can apply yours or someone elses?
I'm pretty sure restore points are system specific. Do you have access to another pc? Try the whole process fresh. Sorry man that's about all I got.
What happens when yoyour not in ODIN and hook your phone to your computer? Does it recoginze it, can you transfer files? What does Device manager show it as?
Hello,
I have been using some release candidates of ICS which were available here on my i9000. Everything worked out generally fine. Sometimes my phone crashed and then it wouldn't want to go further than my i9000 and afterwards the google screen. Both screens would just repeat endlessly without the phone doing anything.
When this happened, I was always able to go back to recovery mode and uninstall everything and reinstall the rom. This would always solve my problem.
Now here is my current issue: on Saturday my phone crashed again, but now I can NOT enter recovery mode any more. Whenever I plug in a usb cable or normal cable to charge my phone it shows the calculating sign and after a few secs it's gone and starts all over again instead of showing the green battery slowly getting full.
The only thing which works is getting into download mode. So I tried to get odin to work. I installed kies to get the usb drivers and I opened odin (on both windows and a mac), but it does NOTHING.
Is there any other way I can reset my phone to get it somehow working again? Is there another way to get into recovery besides the buttons or using odin? I know of ADB but that requires the phone to be on....
When you plug your phone in (and enter download mode) what device type does windows detect it as?
Because you can get to download mode normally a "good" sign that it isn't bricked (and even when "bricked" it can be un-bricked)
Edit
Just tested mine, entered download mode and odin shows it connected on Com6, device manager shows it connected as a "Samsung Mobile Modem"
try and install the samsung modem drivers separately then try and connect connect
Hi,
first, be sure that all Kies-services are disabled via Taskmanager otherwise ODIN wont work correct!
then Bring your SGS1 to the Downloadmode, connect the USB_cable at the phone.
fullfill all sections you need in ODIN (PDA-Kernle, CODE-modem, CSC-CSC, pitfile512) klick repartition on
then connect your SGS1 via USB to the PC
Odin will show "connected"
Press start.

Okay.
I bought a Samsung Captivate from a company on Amazon a few weeks ago, and it started having the problem with the speaker cutting out. I took it apart to try the two fixed I'd googled - loosening the speaker screw and reseating the speaker ribbon - and neither worked, and now the speaker is completely dead. That isn't my biggest problem, though.
Somehow in the process of the above, I did something that made it so that the phone will only boot into download mode. I can hold down the power and volume buttons and get it to reboot, but it only reboots into download mode again, and won't recognize in windows via the USB cable. It did recognize once, and I used Odin3 to get it back to a factory reset image (it was running stock firmware, but I'd rooted it to remove the AT&T apps) thinking in vain that it might help, but it still only boots into download mode.
But there's the weird thing: It won't power off in download mode unless I pull the battery out, but if I put it back in then plug in the USB cable while holding both volume buttons, it boots right into android, no problem. Everything's fine except the speaker still doesn't work, it doesn't show to be charging while plugged into the USB cable, and still won't recognize the USB in Windows. But if I turn the phone off and back on, I'm back in non-recognizing download mode again.
Everything otherwise works fine once I get it into android, I can even tell it to erase all settings and factory reset, and it reboots itself, re-flashes to stock, and works fine until I power off and back on, then back to download mode.
So I guess the question is oh god what have I done?
Freud,
I too am having this issue with my roommate's phone. The only way I can get it to boot is if I perform a restore using a Odin3 image. However once it's turned off it only boots into download mode. I nor the roommate have opened the phone. It just one day decided to keep booting into download mode.
Any asistance in this matter would be appreciated! Thank you.

I can only offer a solution to the windows connection issue, once the phone is connected to pc, go into device manager and uninstall drivers for whatever it sees, unplug phone then plug back in and windows should reinstall drivers. Worked for me, odin wouldnt see phone . GL
This will solve your speaker issue

I'm having a similar issue where my PC does not recognize the device. Right now I have no ROM installed, I have Devil Recovery, and I can only boot into recovery and Download Mode. However 2 different PC's will not recognize the phone. I've tried multiple cables and one PC was Windows 8, one was Windows Vista. Both had the most recent drivers installed. Nothing works....any clue? I can't mount the /sdcard or USB Storage while in recovery because the PC doesn't pick up the phone. The internal storage doesn't have a ROM or kernel to flash on it neither so I cannot flash anything. I have a captivate that has Devil Recovery and can boot into download mode but will computers will not recognize the device, drivers installed or not.

Have you tried to uninstall the current drivers, reboot pc and reinstall them?
Also, it could be devil kernel that is faulty. If Odin can recognize the phone, you could flash a different kernel. Or even flash stock KK4, then corn kernel and finally, the ROM you wanna flash through recovery.
I just cannot get the PC to recognize the phone at all, even in download mode. I've tried 2 pc's and multiple USB cables, samsung, non-samsung, motorola, universial. Nothing, just says USB cannot recognize this device. Reinstalled drivers on 2 pc's and rebooted several times. I am lost, I know I'm not bricked because I can access download mode and recovery. I do not have a ROM on my internal card so I can't flash a ROM and can't mount my phone to my PC. No clue what to do.

I just need my PC to recognize my device and I'd be good, odin would then recognize my device in download mode and I could flash a different kernel or rom.
Try cleaning out the micro usb port of ur phone. Maybe the contacts are not making good contact.

Still no luck...I got my PC at work to recognize the phone ONCE. It went through and recognized it like it normally would, however it wouldn't recognize it again. I've been trying on my PC at home all last night and all morning and still no go. It won't recognize it. Now one thing I thought about is that I am on Windows 8. The PC at work that recognized it was Windows Vista. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I wouldn't care so much if I didn't just sell it for $150 I just wanted to give the person a more updated ROM and ended up screwing something up when flashing the ROM.

Ok so I know you've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers several time. But what drivers are you using and when you plug the phone into your pc what is it showing as in the device manager?
They may be exactly what you are using but I added some drivers to this post you might want to try. Just unzip then through device manager update the drivers for your device manually and point it to that folder.
I added these drivers because I'm on Win8 as well and I noticed when I was in recovery that my phone wasn't showing up correctly in the device manager. After installing these drivers it was.
Thanks I'll try that when I get home, I am using the most recent drivers on the Samsung website for the Captivate.
So I got it to boot and be recognized by my computer and I used a 1 click method with CWM and it passed so the Odin flash. So no I basically have a on rooted captivate running 2.5 gingerbread and it is totally sellablebel now. I have no idea what caused my computer to recognize it I didn't even try your drivers yet, but thanks for trying to help.

Hello all,
My mother has a GT-N7000 running complete stock.
It updated something according to ehr saying and afterwards it rebooted.
After the reboot it rebooted again and now its bootlooping, it shows samsung and plays the sound.
The bleu glaze comes up and the the device reboots.
I cant get into recovery with vol up+home+power button combo.
It boots to it and it shows the droid with the sort of cubic icon spinning in its belly and after 3 sec the device reboots.
I cant do a factory reset there so i read about Odin and reflash stock image.
I downloaded the proper file and Odin 3.0.9 and installed samsung drivers.
I dont have Kies installed as i read it could give problems.
The device does go i ndownlaod mode but my PC running w7 ultimate 64bit doesnt recognize the device.
I tried 3 different USB ports from the Mobo, and i tried a couple of diferent USB cables.
One of the cables is original Samung U2 cable.
Everyt time i connect the device winodws shows the message: the USB device isnt recognized.
Odin doesnt register anything so i cant flash a thing with it to restore.
Does this mean the device is bricked?
Does the N7000 has some sort of unbrick JTAG mode or something or would linux help to rewrite all partitions?
Thx for any tips.
With best ergards,
Mister_mini
Edit: thinking back it could be possible USB debuuging has been turned on but im not sure on this part.
