I finally got my unlock code from tmobile today. The code worked fine but now im still unable to register the phone, stuck at the sign up or create screen. For the life of me i cannot get the drivers to install, windows keeps telling me it has the latest installed. The first time i plugged the phone in, i did not even know about USB debugging so i cant even use that at this point. How do i get windows to quit saying it has the latest drivers installed and use my own? ive tried just about everything. I even tried using a XP laptop and it automatically used its own drivers. I need to activate the wifi to continue registering this phone but without these drivers im stuck. Please advise!
anyone? ive tried this <enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter> and it does nothing on the phone or pc. The pc refuses to accept the drivers. It keeps on installing its own drivers.
me too...where did u get that from....wat is that supposed to do?
Just manually delete the drivers then install the drivers you want. This happened to me 2.
i went to device manager, choose the device. Uninstall the drivers, restarted the pc and plug the G1 in and still no go. Vista did the same thing, installed its own drivers. Did it on my dad's XP laptop as well and did the same thing. I can't turn on USB debugging if i can't get pass the Registration screen!
Choose UPDATE DRIVER, then specifically point it to the driver. Not just to the folder expanded folder, point it directly to the appropriate driver itself. Pick the right architecture folder (such as AMD64). I cannot emphasize enough not to let Windows search for an appropriate driver. You need to point it to the folder that contains the right .inf file.
i downloaded the usb drivers from off this site and i did what u said and it still gives me the same junk! damnit!!
you say you are stuck at the registration screen - do you not have a skip registration button, allowing you to get into the main OS. or, if you press menu can you not enter APN settings? that will allow you to register successfully
Ok then,
What rom are you using?
What version?
What radio?
What SPL?
What SDK?
You know, the basics.
I have seen posts on here regarding this error for the sgs althought none of the solutions that have came up are working on my sgs.
i have tried multiple os and every driver you can think of also i have used usb debug mode and altered between what usb port i am using..
My main os is windows 7 64bit the error i get on screen is:
usb device not recognised...so drivers wont install. skip to device manager and then there is and unknown device when i view this windows gives the error :
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
its really starting to destroy my soul...none of the methods previously posted are working..
Please help
You dont mention Kies installed .
Install Kies on phone go to settings and select mass storage mode .
Connect USB cable wait for pc to find phone and install drivers .
jje
yeah sorry kies is installed i tried different versions of that aswell.
There is an install driver option in Kees, try to re-install driver. Be aware that in kies it takes too long to install driver(don't know why), for long time it will show 100% in progress bar but wait until you get driver successfully installed driver message in Kies, it tool more than 10 mins.
Just fixed the similar problem today only, on Windows 7 64 bit, was struggling to but re-installation worked. Earlier I also tried reinstall driver but I thought it stuck on installation so I canceled but not today I gave it full time hence I said wait till you get success message. I didn't connected the device till driver installed.
May be your problem will also get fixed by this, nothing wrong in trying.
CAPTIVATE - Frozen on AT&T Boot, Unrecognized via USB, NO access to CWM - PLEASE HELP
HI - I've been fighting this captivate for over 48 hours. Being very familiar with all this, and not doing this for the first time either, the fact that I can't get this resolved drives me insane as I have never been so mentally exhausted in being incapable of resolving a problem, thus seeking professional guidance from the Gods on mobile technology!
HERE IS THE SPIEL:
Device: Samsung Captivate i897 (Device is rooted)
Software: AOKP build.38
Kernel: IcyGlitch v14
CWM: Installed v.5-----
The Problem
Device stuck at AT&T Logo - Not Looping (just stuck)
Windows XP Professional SP3 (x86) with all recommended USB drivers will not detect device. Device Manager displays the phone as unknown, regardless of drivers & upon inputting it into a USB (2.0) windows displays a message "USB Device is not recognized".
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (x64) brings up identical message as that of Windows XP with all proper & recommended drivers with the phone recognized as "unknown"
Device boots into download mode via holding Vol.+/- and plugin in USB cable. Both Heimdall & Odin can't recognized the device when it's in UNKNOWN state by windows. Although all drivers are installed.
Purchased new Micro USB cable - NOTHING - that's testing all USB ports on all my systems.
The Story:
The device was working flawlessly being able to mount as mass storage on both my Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (x64) & Windows XP Professional SP3 (x86) until i've upgraded to AOKP build #38. The upgrade was successful (2 months ago). 2 days ago, i decided to upgrade to AOKP build #40. The device was not recognized as mass storage but rather "Unknown Device" or "USB Device not Recognized" - although the phone was in full working condition (USB Debugging was enabled). After some reading, I realized that the AOKP build #38 has a bug where there was a problem with mounting & the camera was not functioning since it had no access to external_sd (a problem that was very irritating since the update, but i had no time to look into it until recently). I followed a similar tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545801) which required the editing of the vold.fstab file with Root Explorer, resolving the issue of external_sd becoming accessible on the phone with camera working, however unable to mount and copy the new AOKP Build 40 ROM through Windows to flash via CWM.
At this point I booted into CWM via holding volume +/- & power button. Wiped everything, and loaded a backup I've done a # of months ago where everything was working perfectly. There was an error when it was "...loading data image" which is normal, so I did it again and the error persisted. On the second attempt, it again re-sent me primary CWM menu where i was intending to now load another backup. I accidentally clicked the restart button, having already cleaned the devlick cache, etc, including user data which brought me this NIGHTMARE of problems.
I will be forever grateful the the kind soul which will help me resolve this, as I am at a phase of taking this samsung captivate and throwing it against a wall.
I assume you can still access recovery? Try putting CM9 on the external SD with a card reader, and flashing that...
EDIT: Just saw you can't access CWM... Try recovery again... all three until ATT comes up, immediately let off power... Try multiple times... Leave the battery out, hold all three, have someone else insert it, and let off power at ATT... When going into download mode, leave the battery out, hook it up, hold boths vols, and insert the battery...
The Unknown device issue....
Uninstall your drivers... Here are drivers to manually install, they are 64bit... so try right clicking the Unknown device in device manager and doing a manual driver update...
OP,
See this thread... Captivate Connection Issues...

B-Naughty: Thank you. I have tried this & that no luck. Even loaded Linux Mint 13, however heimdall is being a !*&#@ in loading the firmware...Perhaps if you would know any (proper) packages for a Samsung Captivate i897 via heimdall id be grateful. I used heimdall-suite-1.3.2 command line & frontend. Will try again tomorrow. Although still haven't figured out whether or not it read the phone in Linux (it's a different world for me)
4-2ndtwin: My friend, thank you for the detailed link. I have been doing this for over 48 hours ... nothing. I'll give it another shot via Linux, if not i'll try Ubuntu. Truly am just confused out of my mind, never had this before.
PS: The phone's data is wiped & it's stuck at AT&T when loaded via power button. Booting into DOWNLOAD MODE isn't a problem. All combination to load into recovery, did not work. I mean...there must be a way! There always is...Any further ideas or should i simply through it out and buy a Galaxy SIII?
I897UCKK4 Stock, Wipe, with option to install Bootloaders, Param,and Repartition-Heimdall One-Click
And try all of your USB cords, I don't know what you bought, but a bad one, or a lot of times an aftermarket one won't work...
Edit:
I saw you can get into download mode. So my original post doesn't help much.
Have you tried installing the Andoid SDK and downloading the nexus drivers from there? Perhaps your device now thinks it is a nexus. It might be worth a shot.

Yes... I second this ^

Decrapitated Samsung
Thank you all for the support.
At this point I've installed SDK Manager w/Google USB revision 6, latest Java, all proper drivers...nothing. Tried all usbs on all systems.
Q: If the phone goes into download mode, is it not in a default state and must be detected? I have a samsung galaxy tab 10.1, detects immediately. Samsung YPS3 mp3 player detects immediately - Samsung Captivate however, nothing...
I set up a clean Windows 7 Ultimate x64bit (all june 2012 updates + .Net 4.0). Installed all usb drivers...same thing, UNKNOWN DEVICE - so the usb cable works...but now when you go and manually upgrade driver via device manager, it says that the best driver for the unknown device is already installed.
Anyone want's a free captivate lol...
At this point...I dont even know what to ask...since i've tried everything. I'll try to revisit Ubuntu & Linux later this evenings and report status!
Thanks for the I897UCKK4 Stock, Wipe, with option to install Bootloaders, Param,and Repartition-Heimdall One-Click link, i can't use it since the phone isn't detected by the application
I would say you need to uninstall any/all drivers for your captivate. This includes heimdall installed drivers. Make sure to uninstall the drivers for the "unknown" device also.

Seems as though you have a hardware problem with the phone, or a s/w problem so messed up you're down to Unbrickable Mod

He had a fresh Windows install and install drivers...
Unbrickable MOD - wont be able to do this my self, would need an electric to look into it. I mean the phone isn't bricked, it accesses download mode i just have to get it to connect via usb to be read as a "samsung composite device" to flash the bootloader. As now, it would be stuck at the AT&T screen without giving access to CWM.
I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 - set up java 7 - loaded Heimdall One-Click stock rom provided above via java...tried all USB's phone not detected via DOWNLOAD MODE. Phone not detected at all!
This is just insane...If it's in DOWNLOAD MODE, it should be accessible, not the contrary. Ubuntu doesn't need usb drivers, should be plug&play...Both XP & Win7Ultimate at least recognized the phone as an unknown device. On Ubuntu it does nothing at all, as if it never was plugged in.
The microusb slot on the phone is not damaged / cable is stock, also have another one from Staples. The system w/XP is reading all devices on a plug&play basis and read the captivate before flawlessly. Same applies to the Asus P43 laptop, which read the device without hesitation on Win7 Ultimate x64. The Ubuntu is now on the laptop...tried connecting the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Samsung) it recognized it immediately...with full access to files etc.
Last plea for Ideas...before i'll send this captivate to hell, to where the journey isn't captivating at all!
It sounds like you have a bad flash. You need jtag to fix this issue. Contact mobiletechvideos and Josh should be able to repair it for you. I think at this point you've tried every other option.

I would like to have that free captivate thou :good:
Same Problem
i have the same prob and if i try to recovery mode (i.e. by pressing volume buttons and power button simultaneously)
i get following type of errors
"E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount/cache/recovery/recovery_kernel_log
E:copy_kernel_file :: Can't open /cache/recovery/recovery_kernel_log"
kindly sugeest some way out
I have done everything possible to get it connected and recognized by the PC & all is failing. I have tried to "manually" install the Samsung composite Device driver via "have disk method in Device Manager.
In XP:
I load device manager and than do the following:
Click Universal Serial Bus Controllers
Right click "unknown device" which is the captivate
Select Update Driver
Select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)
Select Don't Search. I will choose the driver to install. (Click Next)
Select "Have Disk" with the (show compatible devices) checked
Browse to the directory of extracted 32bit Windows XP Drivers: SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2
Select "ssadadb2.inf" & click open
And than i get the msg saying:The specified location does not contain information about your hardware
...WTF... I mean really...
Windows 7 Ultimate:
Same procedure as above until you select have disk, pick a proper x64 driver provided by XDA - also tried the Universal_Naked_Driver_Beta_0.6 ...there was progress that got me very excited - the Phone was detected as: Samsung Android Composite Device. Was I happy...until i clicked next and got this msg:Samsung Android USB Composite Device - This device cannot start. (Code10)...
There must be a solution: I had the phone bricked when i first tried to change from stock rom, managed to load it in download mode, and it was detected fine on all systems via USB with the same accessories, worked like a charm...so when this happened i wasn't concerned, as i thought id follow standard procedure, accept it did not work.
Anyone?
Let's try this since you seem to be stuck in a boot loop.
Code:
adb wait-for-device reboot recovery
Make sure your phone is plugged in and reboot it. If your machine recognizes the phone at any point in the boot process it will kick it into recovery.
Once there you can try to restore the backup again.
If this doesn't work, you will most likely need JTAG service. Because of the bad image flash your device might not "think" it is a Captivate any longer and that's why the drivers aren't working.
Red_81 :Thank You. Would you please be more specific & put into a 1,2,3...process?
1. Power off device
2. Plug in to computer
3. Open a command prompt
4. Navigate to adb.exe (android sdk or inside my kk4 root utility)
5. Enter command above
6. Boot up phone.
7. Hopefully go into recovery

Thank you. I've been endlessly fighting the achievement of the PC systems to detect the captivate & no results. Thank you all for you help...when i have time i'll JTAG this device, or probably not even going to bother and pick up a SGIII. By the way Red_81:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680048 is an amazing app, if only my phone was detected as it's recognized as unknown device, so there isn't much it can do. Although i highly recommend it to anyone else whose phone is detected.
Hi..
I am facing an issue with Odin v4.43 .
My Laptop specs are :
USB3.0
HP-pavilion dv6 - 7023Tx (intel i7 3610QM)
OS : Windows 8 -64 bit
.
When i run this application and connect my samsung galaxy S plus device through USB cable, It don't detect Comport nor even displayed "Added" in Message box.
I even installed its 64 bit USB driver but still not. Why?
==================================================================
Whenever i run this application through my old laptop (P4, OS is Windows 7 32 bit and USB2.0 ).
It works and detect the comports and display added in message box.
How could i solve this issue in my new Laptop because i 'll have to leave my old laptop.
Did you already try this:

hi Gripping,
I installed the same driver on my new laptop but didn't follow the step as mentioned in your refered article.
I try with it then 'll share my experience .

I was having same problem when I tried to flash with odin (not 4.43). I managed to install the drivers using Heimdall suite 1.3.1. Heimdall comes with drivers folder and a application called zadig inside the drivers folder. It did not work right away but after trail and error it finally showed up as samsung usb driver. sometimes you have to restart your phone to be recognised by your computer. I did on windows 7 too and also I have i9000M. Hopefully will work for you too.
Thanks osterizerble, i have tried many times with different approaches but didn't work.
This is an issue with this machine or might be with 64 bit OS to install its accurate driver completely.
It works smoothly in my old machine without any effort.
It seems Odin V4.43 have the capability to operate through 32-bit systems too.
Thats' the restrictions , i think so.
I have Windows 8 x 64 bit too and I have already successfully flashed a stock Rom to my SGS using Odin.
I used an older version of Odin, I think it's version 1.3.
But my phone wasn't recognized immediately by the PC.
I think it took 2 or 3 times re-starting and re-booting my phone & PC before my phone was finally recognized by Odin.
I used the USB drivers from SamHaLeKe's thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11498043&postcount=1
Thansk Gripping and everyone for putting an effort of resolution.
Gripping I am pretty sure,Odin 4.43 will not work.
because i have been tried too mauch with every USB driver with Samsung Kies and after uninstalling it too.
I used SAMSUNG USB Drivers for Mobile Phones (x86 & x64) v1.5.16.0 driver too but it couldn't worked.
Yes Old , I think Odin 3 V1.8 detect Comports and display a message "Added" in Message box.
But i have tried it too, it start flashing and then stuck in no limit of time.
Moreover, i 'll make another try today night again. Hope this may help but i have already tired with it .
It's a good thing nothing happened to your phone when it got stuck in the middle of flashing.
It happened to me twice already, during flashing via Odin, it got stucked and won't continue running. (In my old Windows 7 and recently with Windows 8)
I have no choice but to close Odin and disconnect my phone.
After disconnection, my phone became "hard-bricked". No buttons responding whatsoever.
I was lucky (twice already) to revive my phone and brought it to download mode by doing the following:
1. remove the battery for a few minutes
2. connect the phone to PC via USB cable
3 press the vol down - home button - power buttons and at the same time insert the battery.
After reviving my phone, flashing via Odin became smooth already.
My computer is still giving a same message.
USB drive not recognized and when i come into the device manager, it display 3 wrong things in Other devices.
-> PCI Device
-> Unknown device.
->Unknown device.
