[Q] USB No longer Working.......?

My Samsung Captivate was working fine a day ago when I was transferring video off of it to my PC. Now this comes up and I'm like WTH lol. I've never dropped my captivate or damaged it( to my knowledge).
I have read in other posts that the only way to fix this is to replace the mini usb port inside of the phone... If that is true could someone direct me to a site that sells it?
Or is It a battery issue? because It now has a problem with showing the charging battery symbol when its not charging now...
I also thought about going to At&T and letting them tell me what they think, only thing i'm afraid of is that without me being able to flash back to Official 2.1 Eclair they wont help me...
Any suggestions guys?

Bump T_T............

lol, make it totally bricked, att will not see if the phone cannot turn on.

Have you tried switching computers? My laptop stopped reading my phone, but my desktop picked it up just fine.

Try factory reseting and flashing to a new rom

Well I would Flash it to stock, but how would I do that without the use of USB, because no computer can detect my phone as it is now.... the USB Port is damaged I believe.
As for Bricking it how can I do that because they told me I could replace it because I'm under warrenty, but they also told me that if its found out of warrenty that they may charge me upwards to 480 bucks for the replacement. The guy on the phone told me it only applied to cosmetic and liquid damage though, he didnt mention stuff like flashing the OS or modding.
This is strictly a Hardware Issue as it was working 2 days ago.

lol, you can easily brick your phone by doing the following:
1. download a rom;
2. go to recovery mode;
3. start flashing the rom and remove the battery during the process;
never help people like this ... i feel guilty ...

lol ikr? Never thought I'd ever ask that xD.

Can you plug your phone in to the wall charger and it charge. When you plug.it into.the PC are you getting a message about USB device not recognized. Are you using a.deshktop or a laptop what OS. If you are using a desktop are you using a port on the back preferrably the one closest to the motherboard. These are all things to take into account.
If when you plug it into the wall.or computer your phone will charge then most likely there is nothing wrong with your micro-usb on the phone. Instead its the computer. I had the same issue and had to fight with it for days but now it works everytime I plug [email protected]

I am using windows on my laptop and Fedora linux on my netbook and I have tried to connect all of them to it and it failed and they all had the latest drivers and my usb development and all that stuff is as it should be.
like i said in the OP it was working 2 days ago perfectly and I did nothing to change it or damaged it in any way ( to my knowledge) maybe the usb port got messed up when i tried to charge it but I can still get a charge but the battery keeps showing its charging even when it is off of the charger.

only way to really know is by flashing another rom... use your mobile browser not xda app, and go to xda, find a rom thread, and use the mobile browser to download the rom over 3g... reboot into recovery to install it, it will be in the download directory on your internal SD...

Well I would do that but Now I have another problem... it turned off and now it wont turn back on!!!! UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!

anything from the charger? might bee good that it finally died... the att service center should swap it out for you now that its dead...

Well I thought I should Follow up on my Question... Somehow I got my Samsung Captivate to magically connect to my PC and believe me it was very Wonky. And Soon as my PC detected it I hurried and Downloaded Odin for Stock 2.1 and Put my Captivate in download mode using Cognition's Download mode option in the hold button popup on screen.
Long story short I was finally able to get my captivate back to 2.1 and the reported problem still exists... I'm calling ATT right now for my replacement that should be here in 2 days ^_^
Thanks Again to all the people here at xda for your help, I deeply appreciate it!

place dg cf7 on sd card via another phone or use an alternate browser to download it also get clockwork mod rec.zip and boot into recovery install from there, thats how I got back to stock after same problem as you,warranty phone.
worked for me

[Q] Captivate Won't Charge But Will Recognize PC Connection

Edit: It looks like this is a hardware issue and I'll likely try to get it replaced via insurance since I cannot revert to stock using Odin. It is impossible to revert without using Odin right? Thanks to all who read!
To start, I just want to state that I've searched and searched for answers/information on this (not just on XDA forums either) and I haven't found a similar issue - my sincere apologies if I missed it.
Quick "this post is way too long to read" Summary:
1. Phone will not charge
2. Phone will recognize PC connection via USB but with no functionality
3. PC will not recognize phone
4. All details on what I've done so far below
Friday 3/4/11 - I used a USB car charger (link below) to charge my Captivate with a USB cable known to be working (had worked on my Captivate before, works on my brother's Captivate). If you're asking why I used that charger... well I got it for free with my E-71. I'll never use it again. Anyway later that night I tried to charge my phone on my official AT&T A/C charger but nothing happened - the phone acted like no USB was inserted.
newegg[dot]com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882923001
Sorry for the bootleg link, this certainly isn't spam but I'm not allowed to post links yet.
Since that date, my Captivate won't charge via AC power cord. My PC won't recognize it either, but here's the weird part - my phone recognizes when it's connected to the PC via USB. For example, I can connect the phone to the PC and it will state "USB connected" on the Android pull-down (top) menu. Since I have mass storage chosen as the default, it will give me the option to send or receive files from the PC from the same menu. However, if I attempt to actually take that option, the pop-up menu which allows you to mount your memory cards does not come up. In addition, if I have the phone in USB debugging mode and I connect to my PC, the phone recognizes that as well. The PC does not recognize the phone in any capacity, at any time. No matter what I've done so far it will not charge via A/C.
Background: I've had my phone for a little over 6 months now, I've been running Cognition 2.1.6 since about 3 weeks after I got it - before this problem I haven't done any modifications whatsoever since the first load of Cognition. My PC is Windows 7 Ultimate 64. To rule out a bunch of other things, I've tried to use multiple USB cords that are known to work with a different Captivate and my Captivate prior to this problem (3 to be exact), I've uninstalled and reinstalled all Samsung's drivers on Windows, and I actually reinstalled Cognition using the three button recovery mode. To further rule out external problems, I just put Serendipity on my brother's Captivate using the same USB cord and PC that I'm attempting to use with my phone. He had been using the exact same version of Cognition I was.
I of course tried to revert the phone to stock using ODIN in order to fix the problem. I attempted to use the two button method (hold volume keys and insert data cable from PC with Odin running) but of course since the USB is not working properly that didn't work. It's worth noting that the described method worked perfectly for my brother's Captivate to revert to stock in preparation for installing Serendipity. I attempted to manually unmount and remount my memory cards several times, change USB modes between mass storage, Kies, modem, etc - nothing seems to work. The phone seems to be completely normal except for this USB issue. One last thing that's strange is if the phone is powered off and I have the USB A/C charger plugged into it, I cannot turn it on. When I hold the power button a relatively small spinning circle comes up after a second or two near the top of the screen. It disappears when I release power. If I remove the USB cable and hit power again it powers up completely normally.
Because of all of the above, I'm 99% certain that the issue is with my phone (not from any other external source). My only uncertainty is whether this is a USB hardware issue or a software issue where the phone is trapped in some sort of limbo due to being in a quasi-data mode which is causing it not to charge via A/C power and causing the PC not to recognize it. Has anyone had an issue remotely like this? I've come to terms with the sinking feeling that this is a hardware issue and that the only option I'm going to have is for my phone to be accidentally run over by a car (in order to pay my $125 and get a "new" phone under AT&T insurance). If anyone has any suggestions I'll be more than happy to try, maybe we can get this thing fixed!
If you made it this far I'll just say thanks for reading my wall of text and thanks in advance for any advice you have.

Were you able to get this issue resolved? It just started happening to my Captivate earlier today, and I was hoping that a solution had been found.

I haven't been able to get it resolved, I actually just sort of gave up on it and went back to my old phone for now. I have insurance so I'm not totally screwed, but it's not that cool obviously.
Were you able to get anything resolved on your end? If so I'd love to hear how. The one good solution would be a package to restore to stock that you could run through update.zip on a memory card, that isn't available yet is it?

i have this issue as well. I flashed Cognition 4.4 and it ran just fine for a couple weeks and then it began not even recognizing the micro plugged into any power source or the samsung dock! debugging on or off, battery saver apps removed, all that. multiple reboots. nothing. it takes a spell of, if i'm lucky, recognizing it after i eff with it for a few minutes and flukes a decent charge but at night, it usually has a loop cycle charging effect. I can hear the "boop beep" charger plugged in sound over and over throughout the night.
i use the phone in my cars and everywhere with the same problem.
no resolution! HELP!!!

I came across the same problem with USB on ARMANI I9010 after installing Cognition5. The most unpleasant is that i have bought it abroad and there is no possibility to return it
Does any body found the solution?

[Q] Wet phone

Hi there,
I have a samsung galaxy s i9000phone wich is dropped in the pond and taken out immediately. (Last christmas)
The phone had dried for several weeks wit backplate of and the battery out.
I got this phone yesterday and wanted to repair it.
So I pulled it apart and heated it to about 45 degrees centigrate (113 fahrenheit).
I cleaned some corrosion of it with an cubestick and a mild cleaning solvent and let it dry for some hours.
Then I reassembled the phone and loaded the battery wit the wall charger.
So yesterday late in the evening I tried to turn it on, it didn't work. So I tried the 2 volume buttons and the On button to get it in to download mode. Nothing happend. So I let it rest for the rest of the night.
Then this morning it tried the other combo Volumedown+home+On buttons. It went in to download mode! so I was very optimistic.
After a while trying to find the right drivers (win7 x64) (Kies installed wouldn't read the phone) (even tried these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956). I found a couple and tried even more it didn't work. Sometimes it would see the device as an unknown usb device but couldnt install the driveres for it.
So I tried connecting it to Odin, that didn't work. So i tried Heimdall. This didn't recognise it neither. Heimdall didn't see the driver neither. It only showed Bluetooth and Digital camera. It showed both with the phone connected to the laptop and unconnected.
The phone gets in to download mode or In an black screen with some sort of circular symbol which doesnt rotat or do nothing. I can't boot the phone into a normal mode.
I've googled my ass off and found numerous pages with kies not connecting and driver woes and bricking the phone. But nothing helped me.
Screen works fine btw. Battery gets charged. But doesnt show this on the screen.
Is all hope lost?

dude... put it in a plastic bag with some rice. that should evaporate the water leave it for 3 days

This will help solve my problem? You think it's not dry yet?
Thought it would be dry by now, it has been lying around since christmas.
Is the rice in the bag-trick the only way to solve this? Will it solve it?
It's not booting into the galaxy s screen neither.
Do i take whole wheat or normal white rice?
Greets,
VeldMuijz

This is pretty funny actually.
I just found this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203802&page=2
And near the bottom of the second page someone suggested to clean the usb port of the phone with an toothbrush. I am in the office so i picked a staple and gently cleaned the usb port.
So ok fine. Plug it back in to the pc in dl mode, OMG! Odin sees it because win7 began installing the drivers (couldn't before). The drivers installed are Samsung USB Composite device and Samsung Mobile Modem #2.
Now when i put it in download mode kies sees it. Nice. But doesnt seem to connect
But what next, do i just flash the thing with original firmware and try to boot?
Do I dry it some more?
I added a photo of the circular figure showing on my phone. When this appears my laptop doesnt recognize it (probably because its powered off) and when i go into download mode it does get recognized.

IMO if you can get Odin to recognize it, flash it via odin. Kies isn't particularly reliable

Ok good.
Any body elses opinion? (nothing personal nwsk)
And since I don't know how full my battery is (i don't see the loading battery pic on my display) is it safe to keep it in the charger overnight and then go flash it in the morning?
Which would recommend Odin or Heimdall?
Thanks a bunch.

If you flashed using Heimdall already it's up to you, but if you didn't I'd recommend Odin, because it's simpler. Also, there were times when Heimdall didn't detect my SGS, but Odin did.

I used odin with the i9000xxjvr rom for the i9000.
Didnt work the first time, i tried again then it worked.
With partition ticked, but phone didn't boot.
Again but with partition unticked, didn't boot.
Odin says it has finished succesfully and i see the downloading happen on my screen with the download icon.
Then it goes in to the screen of which i posted a picture above.
Is there something else i could try?

I would try a New battery, looks like it's not taking a charge. Only a few pounds on ebay.

Though that symbol i posted a picture off can stay on for a looooooooooooooooong time.

gt-i9000 is cheap already
buy a new or used one

dude thats the symbol you get just before it shows the battery,try flashing darkyrom 10.2 resurrection,or re its the same
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/v10-2-final-what-are-you-waiting-for.4253/

Will try thanks.

But when i hook the phone up to the wall charger it gets enough voltage to startup or am i seeing this wrong?

It broke? I have been hearing stories about Galaxy S surviving after being dropped and flushed in the toilet

Hello all. I would suggest to try first with sone "basic" rom. Another question just popped up to my mind is whether getting into restore is possible and from there to see if mounting volumes is possible before booting....

Recovery mode i mean... sorry

Recovery mode was the Volume up+home+power on button? This trick didn't work, with power cable in or out. The other combo Volume up+Volume down+power on didnt work neither.
Download mode seems to work every time though.
There is a very good possibility that the mainboard is fried though..

[Solved] Slim ICS never loads past logo

I have been running Slim ICS on my Captivate for a month or two now. I have been on version 3.6 for awhile now and have had no issues.
Today however, My phone was acting a little odd, and I decided that it had been awhile since my last reboot, so I held the power button, clicked reboot, (not into recovery) put the phone back in my pocket once I was sure it was rebooting and went on my way.
30 minutes later I took my phone out of my pocket and looked at the screen. It was still on the Slim ICS screen and I thought maybe it was looping, but it never rebooted itself or went back to the AT&T screen. It just stayed on the Slim ICS screen until I pulled the battery.
It has done the same thing every time I try to turn it on.
Download mode wont work (my cappy doesn't have the 3-button combo, so I have to use a jig.) I can get it in download mode but my computers wont read it. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers, I tried different chords (on each computer.) and nothing works.
I'm kind of at my witts end, as it is my alarm in the mornings and I rely heavily on my phone. any suggestions on what to do? or is it time to check if I can upgrade...?
(P.S. I apologize for the sloppy formatting, it's 2:30 am and I've been trying to make this work for 2 hours...)
EDIT: I kept trying and eventually got my phone to read as gadget serial instead of unknown, flashed back to stock and am now getting back to ICS. To anyone in a similar situation, just keep trying and hopefully it'll pay off.

Do you have recovery mode?
Swyped from my ICS Samsung Captivate

None of the button combos work on my device (none of them ever have) and I cant get my computer to read my phone, so I can't use ADB to reboot in recovery. All I can really do right now is get into download mode with my jig, but none of the computers in my house will read it with any of my chords.

Have u tried "Mobile Odin" by Chainfire ?? Find it in the Market...uuugghh...the Play Store. :/
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium

alright, it was a huge headache... but I got back to gingerbread stock.
I'll tell how I did it:
Deleted all installed samsung drivers (and rebooted computer).
Go to download mode (I used the jig, if you have button combos, it's probably easier)
Plug the device into the computer and hope to god it reads as Gadget serial
I then used this to restore to stock (it failed 3 times before it worked... everytime it got just a little bit further, until it finished.)
So ultimately, after a nightmare of a time and a lot of headache, I'm thankfully back at stock, and working on getting back to ICS.
although the process is difficult, as odin still won't find my phone (heimdall does though)

[Q] Yet another "I'm stuck at the AT&T screen and I it's not recognized" thread

[Q] Yet another "I'm stuck at the AT&T screen and I it's not recognized" thread
Greetings, all
I've been trying to figure this out, off and on, for 2-3 weeks. I could use some help.
Originally, I was running Cognition, but I can't even remember what I was trying to flash because I've tried so many things... The bottom line is that I'm at the download screen, but all the PC's I have (win 7) don't recognize it. I'm convinced that if I can get the PC to recognize it, then I could reload i897uckk4. But...
Things I have done:
- Rebooted, switched cables, turned everything off and on, tried on different machines, all the hardware easy stuff.
- Uninstalled drivers, tried other drivers, uninstalled Odin, Heimdall, Kies, rebooted and tried only one at a time.
- Tried all the USB ports on all the PCs
- Different phones are seen from the 2 cables I've been using.
This phone worked and was recognized on this machine before I screwed it up. I don't see how it's a phone hardware issue. Sure, it could be, but I really don't think so. That leaves drivers for Win 7, 64-bit. I've tried these files as Administrator:
- usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64
- Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.14.0
I've even tried these for kicks:
-SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86
- SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2
Now that I've tried all I can find, I think the ones I want to keep are the "usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64"
Thing is, it worked before "The Big Hose of 2014". It should have been recognized, but it stopped being recognized after an unsuccessful attempt at flashing back to stock, after an unsuccessful attempt at Cyanogen. The only thing I can think of is that I tried to flash the wrong ROM version, or something like that, and the phone is in a state where it's not sending the proper handshake.
The error I'm getting is classic, and all over these forums:
- I've tried to manually load "Samsung Android USB Composite Device" driver - Device can not start. Code 10
- All devices like WMC, Mobile Modem, ect - Code 10
- A few others result in the Code 10, too.
I've tried to find the GUID for it in the Registry to delete the Upper and Lower Filters.
What's left? I'm sure it's a small thing. I could use a few more hints.
Two last questions:
Will doing the unbrickable mod help, or is it too late?
Does it charge while in download mode, or if the star like circle is not spinning?

You probably already saw this thread, but in case: Captivate - PC Connection Issues, Download Mode and Recovery Mode Help
As for what is left, trying on another pc could be a good idea. If the drivers aren't already installed on it, even plugged in download mode, it should install drivers.

I've already tried the stuff in the link. I did that first.
I have 7 computers, all running Win 7. This Captivate is not recognized my any of them.
Looks like I'm headed to the unbrickable mod. I'll have to dual boot to Linux for these fixes.

Looks like I bricked it good. It's time to work on the hardware, I guess. It would be fun, if I hadn't already screwed up my phone. I bought another Captivate off eBay for $50, so at least I'll have a phone.

This story has a twist for an ending. I thought I'd post just in case someone else is thinking about getting out the soldering iron.
The funny thing is that after my new (old) phone (a nice one too) I bought from eBay showed up, I started flashing and generally screwing around. Both phones look the same so I couldn't tell exactly which one was which, so I plugged them both in, thinking that I'd fine the one that was responsive. They both went into the Ginger Bread funky "Firmware Upgrade Failed" screen. This was a head scratcher, indeed. I read a while back about how build dates are important when flashing soft bricked Captivates.
One of the phones has a build date of 1007. Since is well before 1010, I looked around for the Eclair Stock ROM and found it here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
It appears that the early Captivates are very particular about what you flash when going back to stock. I couldn't tell you why the old phone started working. Maybe because I used a JIG then pulled the battery out for a few days? It's possible. All I know is that "I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0" one-click has them both up and running.
At least now I know what I can call my "reset". I'm going to flash GB, then see if I can get to Cognition again, and try "cm-10.2.1-captivatemtd". If they bomb out, I feel real good that I have a way to bring them back.
I hope this can help someone along the way. With the Captivate selling for about $50, albeit 3G, it's not a bad phone at all.
