I'm having a problem with connecting with Kies, It doesn't recognize my Captivate (Or may be it do) and It doesn´t pass of Connecting device.
So I´m trying to root my device, but in one of the steps that I read it says that if the device don´t connect or sincronize with phone the drivers are not correctly installed and might have problems with flashing with Odin.
So my question is... If I´m having this problem with conection, What it really means? That my drivers are not installed correctly? Or is another problem and I can continue with the procedure?
I´m sorry! It maybe is a silly question but I´m new on this! I appreciate your help, thank you very much!!!
I wouldn't bother with Kies. If there is a driver problem, Odin won't be able to recognize the phone. If you still can't get it to work, there's always Heimdall.

Ok, but... How can I know if Odin recognize my device without risk? I mean, if I connect the phone and it works with Odin. Do I have to continue with the process?
Or I can disconnect it and try it again later when I want? (I have to be sure what I´m going to do lol)
Once u have Odin opened and ur phone in download mode next and then ur phone connected to the pc last, Odin will let u know that it recognizes ur phone by the com port box turning yellow if u r using Odin3 v 1.83 or similar. If u r using an One Click Odin it will show in the log box "Added". At either one of these points if u do not want to continue just remove ur cable from ur phone, pull the battery, replace the battery and reboot. Close Odin.
But if u tap Start on either one of the Odins, after u have connected to ur pc and been recognized by the Odin, then do not remove the cable. Let the process finish. Also, always be sure to use a reliable micro usb/usb cable and have a sure power source.

Try Odin 1 Click. You'll find it on here somewhere. It wil take you back to stock 2.1 Eclair. Then you can READ ABOUT flashing other ROMs and proceed from there.

im sorry but most of us can't even help you IF we want to The users of windows based PC's are greater in this forums compared to Macs. if there is drivers for mac, are they installed?
Since you only have a Mac, I would suggest installing Windows through Boot-Camp (included in Mac OSX) on a different partition. I read Galaxy S doesn't have drivers support for Mac OSX Leopart or later, not entirely sure if its true though, but I do have a MacBook Pro and had no success in finding a way to connect my phone to it by USB... Good thing I had a regular old Windows PC Desktop.
Then as Jack Man said, use Odin 1-Click found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
to reset your phone completely to factory settings, relatively simple to do as long as you read the instructions on that post. =)
Well since you only have a Mac and hiemidal is not see your phone i think your only option is to find a friend with a PC and give the Odin 1 click a try.
i ask my aunt for her pc,

Sir, just in case, did you reboot after installing drivers and BEFORE you tried connecting the device? Also, did you check if Odin detected your device when its connected in Download mode?
yes, and thats what in trying to do, to get odin to detect my phone in download mode...
Ok, is your phone detected by the operating system? If it does, then try using this other Odin thread instead, this one however will restore it to Stock Samsung Galaxy with 2.3 Gingerbread.

Don't have to follow the rest of the instructions to root it just in case, but see if that version of Odin detects your phone.

One of the devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and
Windows does not recognize it.
Are you sure it goes in to Download Mode (little android with a shovel)? Also have u tried different usb ports?
Like the above said, are you sure you are in download mode?
What USB port are you using if ots a desktop computer. There are known issues using front usb, plug into the usb on the back of the tower.
Also, are you sure odin doesnt see it? I know windows doesnt like it, but start odin, put phone in download mode, connect to pc. What does odin show? Any connected devices?

yes, im sure its on download mode and tried all the ports...
Im gonna try on another pc
to see if its the pc
i attempted to flash my captivate from stock 2.1 to fasty 2.2 with odin, I read through a bunch of different forums and i thought i had everything set up properly and then flashing afterwards when i attempted to boot up the phone it would flash the at&t screen like its going to turn on repeatedly. so the thing with the phone is that none of the button combinations work to get the emergency recovery or download mode so i was forced to make a jig. i made the jig and it work putting into download mode but the problem from here is i cant get it to connect to my pc, when i plug it in i get a "USB Device Not Recognized" message and neither odin or heimdall will recognize it. i do not think its the cord because the cord im using now has been the cord i was using beforeand my phone was always recognized while i was using it. i hope someone may have some insight for me on this problem or i will be losing the nicest phone ive ever had that i only got to use for a few short weeks, someone pleas help.

I'd say that you shouldn't worry about doing master clear from Odin. If you can fully boot to whatever ROM you're using (even stock), there is an option in the settings menu to format your Internal SD card, which is the same thing as a master clear.
However, if you're just trying to flash stock, don't worry about the master clear at all. Just flash the stock rom and be on your way.
well the phone is completely bricked, before it was just repeatedly rebooting when i turned it on cause i failed to flash to the rom properly because im extremely new to the whole "phone modifying" thing and i was rushing which is not what your suppose to do cause these are very delicate processes, but now after plugging into the computer and attempting to master clear with odin when i turn it on i get the whole (cellphone Icon)..!..(computer icon) thing on my screen, i can still put it into dl mode from here with the jig i made but with my extreme noobness to this type of thing im not sure what to do still.. i dont want to mess up my phone any worse than i already have (if thats at all possible) and its just looking like i turned my phone into a paper weight at this point.

Don't panic - the phone--/!\--pc screen will work the same way as download mode.
Just start up odin, let it settle, hook up you phone with that screen on, and see if Odin sees it. If it does, try the flash again.
If not, go through the steps in my "Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help" post that's in my signature.

You're not bricked. Master clear isn't going to fix your issue, and even if you wanted to run it, it only works with the phone booted which you obviously can't do. You're still all good.
1. Breathe.
2. Right click on Odin One Click and "Run as Administrator."
3. Put phone in download mode with your jig.
4. Plug the USB cord into the back of the computer (never a hub).
5. Wait for odin to recognize the phone (box turns yellow in Odin).
6. Wait a few more seconds to make sure nothing crashes.
7. Click start. Don't touch your phone, unplug it, run any other computer programs, or generally touch anything until the flash is complete. It will say "Done" and the phone will reboot.
okay i just want to flash back to stock if i can get it connected, if you can point me into the direction of the simplest way of doing this it would be greatly appreciated, i would love to learn how to do all of this fancy rom flashing stuff but bricking my phone is too much of a risk you know?
id prolly hug you if i met you in person, i was almost positive i was screwed.

That's bad advice. And you have obviously never tried it.
First. You don't remove heimdall drivers. You just use the closed source Samsung installer
Second. As an open source community, with an open source system like android, recommending using Odin over heimdall is just plain wrong. Without open source you wouldn't even have an android. Open source supports open source. No one should support closed source
Third, all that is required is to use another USB port. The open source libusb drivers were made right. Samsung drivers blow away the entire system. Libusb is only installed on a single USB port. The rest still work with Odin.

Didn't know until this post...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19998299&postcount=115 that it was possible to use Odin and Heimdall without removing one or the other drivers. This was never stated in the Heimdall Thread in the Captivate Android Development Forum or the Heimdall website or the Read Me, that I have seen.
And I have even admitted that I have not tried Heimdall. -- Here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19995597&postcount=113
And I can only recommend what I know works. Odin is what I use and I have not had any problems occur that could not be resolved. And there are stated risks with both Odin and Heimdall. It is up to the individual user to choose which he uses and to understand that if they brick their phone, that is the risk that they were willing to take.
I use (support, if u must) Odin. I am not an "Ultra Open Source" guy as you appear to be (have u never used Odin?). I will keep using Odin and maybe one day give Heimdall a try, because I am not anti-Heimdall at all. Until then I will try to give the best advice I know to help others, just as I have received help from many.
If you're ultra-android, then you need to be ultra-open-source. Open Source development is what keeps our community alive. You have the right to request the source code for every ROM created on these forums because they are based on GPLV2 software.
Of course I've used Odin... I would never recommend it to anyone because it's not safe to use for a beginner. Heimdall One-Click has 6 points of safety over Odin.
Prove to me that Odin does what it's supposed to. Prove to me that Odin does not have a bot-net installed. Prove to me that Samsung can't just flip a switch and cause a brick on any given device when it's connected to Odin. Prove to me that any Odin One-Click is what it says it is without flashing it... You can prove all of these things with Heimdall.
Here's the source tree for Heimdall One-Click, One-Click UnBrick, and Heimdall One-Click Packager http://heimdall-one-click.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ You can inspect the code for malicious content. On top of that, a finished One-Click is in an executable JAR format. This means it can be unzipped and each file can be inspected for malicious content and/or virus scanning.
Recommending Odin is not only against the moral fabric of this community, it's also risky. I don't know of a single brick that Heimdall One-Click has caused.... However people make a full-time job out of recovering bricks caused by Odin.
Here you go.. use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266172 Choose if you want rooted or non-rooted.
I really need help! After flashing of a new rom I had bricked my phone and no pc or laptop can recognize it. I can go under download mode but since the pc cannot recognize it I am with hands tied. Pls help!!! I cannot go into recovery aswell
Download drivers for your phone and install on your pc and/ or try using a different usb slot. As long as you can enter download mode you don't need to worry. Just search around and you'll find it.

First don't panic it is recoverable i did the same to mine a couple of weeks ago and totally killed it good n proper,
the proof it will be ok is Im using mine to write this post.
What in particular isn't recognising ur device, windows drivers, kies, or odin with mine i found that kies and windows didn't show it yet odin did,
as suggested update drivers but also check ur usb lead and try another one to confirm.
Make sure your battery is charged!!!!
To get ur phone into download mode depends on button config there are sevrel search and try them all first.
And try to think were there any buttons a bit iffy before you bricked it could one now be naff,
if all else i have mentioned is good and you are happy then the next step is the resistor method i believe its a 301k wired to a usb plug you can find it on the forum how to make one, then plug it in and bingo download mode.
The final step is the easy way drop it to a good phone repair shop mine cost £30 to unbrick and have the software put back on.
Hope this is of some help to you.

You mean you want to exit download mode? Just long press power button and it will reboot normally unless you were trying to flash rom and it failed in between.
You can also remove battery

To my understanding the purpose on all of these is to just root your phone right ? using PC ODIN?
Well, All you have to do is just make sure you have downloaded correctly the tar file, and thru the 'PDA' button part, look for the NoteCore_HydraCore tar file and after that, 'Start Firmware'

Yes, that's the correct setup as shown in attached thumbnail, make sure you have proper drivers installed (install kies for that) and check if any antivirus is making any trouble.
I think i have proper drivers installed on my pc because i can connected my phone with kies. Is that we need tick on USB debugging on phone before root? The phone will not brick if rooting fail rite, only when fail on flashing rom the phone get chance become brick.

I Have always used odin with debugging enabled you can enable it to try. root failure should not brick your phone.
just make sure to completely exit kies and retry.
Once you are in download mode, usb debuggin have nothing to do.
Sort out your problem with connection to pc.
Watever it cud be, driver, sw,cable,usb port anything wrong can obstruct it.
Two main thing usually responsible is driver, so remove kies or anyother pc sync sw you have installed n just install driver
And connect to motherboard usb port(back of pc)
Anyway i never recommend flashing kernel with pc odin, when easy alternate avilble why you should raise your counter?
Remember triangle away is dangerous.tool and not to use as casual application.

Put phone in download, open odin, connect phone.

That's true. I had an experience using fake cable with my old android phone, it's sucks..
I'm using the original cable on my Desktop computer work but on my laptop not. I think I will reinstall my windows.
since you succeeded in one computer and failed in the other to be recognized in the download mode then it's definitely from the computer itself...try what the guys said before and give us a feedback
