Hi!
I'd like to explain the s*** I'm in right now.
My phone, when running under slim bean, was not recognized to my computer when plugged in. So couldn't transfer files via usb
I downloaded slim bean rom, flashed stuff, got stuck into bootloop. Can't access my recovery anymore.
Now, the usual stuff you do is getting into download mode, then flash the kernel in the tar file.
BUT. My phone can access download mode, but my computer says the same old s***, deviced not f****** recognized. So I can not flash anything now.
Is it a dead end? Have you ever heard about this weird issue?
Do you have any idea ?
I tried doing the same step on my friend's computer. Didn't work as well, same damn issue
I'm offering a damn pint of beer to the one who can help me :good:
Thanks !

try My Android Solutions for a solution
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power
button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....
Tips before Flashing:-
Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or
Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM
Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card
Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu>Settings>Applications>Development>
Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.
Disable Samsung KIES when using Odin. Kill Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, &
KiesPDLR.exe using Task Manager on PC
Use only ROM and solution for your model and Wipe x3

Haha when you flash a i9000 with jb or ICS , it is no longer recognized as an i9000. It becomes a nexus s. So use the nexus s USB drivers

SOLVED: when having trouble with your computer not making a good connection to the phone, try your USB HUB on the mother board. it totally fixed my problem!
So here it is. I received a cappy from a buddy at work.
Basically, she is running cognition (FROYO BASED) rom, not sure of the kernal, and Cwm.
i can get the phone to reboot into RED CWM recovery, and even into DOWNload mode.
The phone was shut off during a factory reset. the battery died.
(IDK the girl was a dumbass and did it from settings on the phone not in CWM )
The phone will boot, ONLY after a factory reset from CWM but the setup google accs f/c's and the only thing i can get it to do is volume up/down pull the notification bar down and power off recovey dl mode...ect ect.
Task manager say's there are no APPS installed on the phone running? yet when i go LVL 2 RAM clear, the phone says 13 apps closed..
I think the Stock APK's have been deleted, since i cannot get into menu at all.
Since she factory reset the phone, and wiped the SD CARD, ALL CWM recoveries she created are GONE.
I have Cleared the cache, and wiped dalvik code, fixed permissions.....
I'm very familiar with the VIBRANTS, not the cappy's so this is a challenge to me.
my Vibrant has connected with all the usb drivers from samsung, but the cappy cannot. I've even downloaded the drivers for just the CAPPY, uninstalled all others, and Still not recognized, yet my vibrant does?
i've installed i think every driver on here for captivates, kies downloads, even went to the samsung website and Downloaded from there.
STILL NOT CONNECTING.
Even DL'd the AIO cappy toolbox (very nice to have for my VIBRANT)
Still no avail.
THE PHONE CANNOT MOUNT THE EX SD CARD. So that idea's out.
all my drivers are correct for the 32 bit vista OS. even tried on my GF's 64 Windows 7.
Still no avail.
I've installed the drivers with the phone in DOWNLOAD mode even, still not connecting.
Rebooted the computer after removing and also reinstalling drivers.
Changed between 3 diff cords, all work for my VIBRANT,
still no avail.
Any idea's would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

First, see if you can find out which version of Cognition she was running (Gingerbread- or Froyo-based).
Once you have that information, I believe you should be able to download the appropriate ROM on you computer and copy it to the microSD card (adapter or whatever method you need to do to get it there). Since you can get into CWM recovery, you could try flashing the ROM from there. Assuming it's a full wipe rom (and you're not concerned about keeping apps installed on the phone), it should reset things to a more workable state. (If you are worried about apps remaining... I don't know what to say at this point, since you can't get to Tibu.)
If that doesn't work, you could try the one-click back to stock (realizing that you're having connectivity issues, I'll get to that in a second).
When you connect the phone in download mode to ODIN, does the yellow COM:# show up?
If you have tried ODIN on your Vista computer, try running ODIN as Administrator.
I've had some luck in the past getting the phone to be recognized (assuming Froyo) by doing this:
1. With nothing connected to computer, start ODIN (one-click to stock would be good).
2. Pull battery on phone.
3. Reinsert battery, but do not power on.
4. Hold Vol+/Vol-/, and insert USB cable.
5. Wait for it to kick into download mode, release buttons, and wait again.
6. See if ODIN recognizes it.

Thats my problem, the cappy does not see that there's an EX SD card there at all? says no files, but i've tried to push a cognition rom to the EX SD and use CWM to flash it to get it to boot, but the phone cannot see that there's an EX SD, but the SD card is fine, even my vibrant used it..
ODIN as ADMIN? tried that and nothing, still no yellow com port,
i know how to use odin, as my VIBE has been "Bricked" a few times lol
the vol up/down button combo does nothing, just shows up as a charging screen, the only way i can get the phone to download mode is through CWM.
the phone is running a FROYO based cognition ROM. or that's what her bf put on there.
This may sound stupid and simple but is the device set on mass storage from the settings menu? If you know.
Also have you tried mounting your sd cards in CWM?

lol THATS MY PROBLEM> the phone thinks it boots normally, but i cannot get the settings menu. like the "SETTINGS APK" file was deleted when she formatted the SD!
but i was just playing around and i got google voice search to pop up!
then from there i used my WIFI and setup the google settings, then i went to the market grabbed CWM and used the cognition rom i've already downloaded, and used it!
then the GREEN CWM booted, and it still cannot MOUNT EX SD card. so the flash failed.. HMMMMMM
As of now i am gonna go into the rom i DLed (cognition) and try to DL Root explorer and hard push the Settings.apk file to the system. HOPEFULLY from there i can get my settings back to restore the phone.
Realizing that it's a long shot at best due to connectivity issues, have you tried using ADB?
If so, you could push the ROM you need to the internal SD.
so, used root explorer to move the NEW cognition froyo rom from the EXternal SD to the INTERNAL SD. from there i used CWM recovery to flash the rom, the rom flash was successful, but now the phone is stuck in bootloop on the AT&T world phone screen.
and CWM will not LOAD. FML
Looks like i'm gonna have to take this apart and get to the internal SD card. =/
Can you get to CWM with the Vol+/Vol-/Power combo - hold those past one AT&T screen and when you see the second one, let go?
Adb was not an option at that point, the phone couldn't recognize it even had a phone attached to it.
but now that i'm stuck in bootloop and with no CWM recovery OR DL MODE, yeah the jig isnt' workin... HAHA
i guess its just a paperweight now.. Owell, i tried.
i held it for about 3 mins... lol and the jig i got for my VIBRANT isn't workin either. I didnt know these phone's can lose the 3 button combo reset? i often flash I9000 roms to my vibe, thats why i have a jig, but i didnt think cappy's would do that unless i flashed an i9000 rom to it? lol
Just because I'm not sure if you tried it - have you tried plugging the cable into a different port on your computer? If it's not one directly connected to the motherboard, that can sometimes cause problems getting the phone to be recognized.
Also - does the phone show any signs of recognizing there is a cable inserted (like charging)?
tried every port. No the phone only acts as if it wants to display the batt charging symbol, but does not show, I cant believe it, i actually think i bricked a galaxy s.. haha
Another long shot, but you could try the One-click unbrick. Since it's Heimdall-based, there's always a chance.
Wow, didnt know that even existed. Definately gonna be useful for my Vibrant, haha i'll give it a shot.. THANKS, i'll report back after i try it.
I hope it does something. With the connectivity issues you're seeing it's starting to sound a little like hardware issues.
I'm going to throw out a checklist of stuff, knowing that you are already experienced with ODIN and ROM flashing, simply because I know I usually can use some sort of checklist to make sure I've caught everything.
- Redownloading/reinstalling drivers, rebooting before connecting phone
- Redownloading/reinstalling ODIN package
- Redownloading ROM to flash
- Hold V+/V-, inserting USB cable
- Remove battery, hold V+/V-, insert USB, insert battery
- Hold V+/V-/HOME softkey
- Hold V+/V-/HOME/Power
- If download mode reached, allowing phone to sit connected for long time
- If download mode reached, connecting phone after opening ODIN
- If download mode reached, connecting phone before opening ODIN
- If download mode reached, connecting phone after ODIN, disconnecting, reconnecting phone
That's all I can think of for a checklist of stuff to try/retry.
I appreciate the help but i've tried all of those options several times, The jig did work to get it into DL mode, but from there i'm still in the same **** position, my computer will not recognize that the phone is connected.
Is it possible that the phone somehow lost its drivers? what i mean by that is, the phone acts different with different USB ports, completely.
On one port it says unknown device, another USB android composite device.
Its as if the phone's changing as i change ports. Very FRUSTRATING!
i think it could be a hardware issue myself, but how could a corrupt drive work so well? To the T every time i've used the jig DL mode fired up, but my computer still cannot find the drivers to run it. Hell i've even tried using winusb drivers package to force install the phone, still no avail.
Like i said, I really appreciate the input, I figured if i couldnt figure it out, someone on here had some EXP in doing this lol i've just never had a driver problem give me so much trouble. IDK, bout ready to turn this paper weight into a pile of ash.
If you can get into cwm, have you tried doing another hard reset/factory wipe?
Thats the problem, earlier i COULD get into CWM, and hell i flashed the new rom perfectly!
now it is stuck bootlooping, therefore i just used the Jig, and first few times it didnt work, now its stuck bootlooping, download mode is attainable, and still NOT connecting to my pc via usb.

Try a different computer? also, which version o of odin are you using? I've found 1.3 & 1.82 to work best.
Something really gone wrong for me here and have a feeling I have a brick.
1. Flashed ROCKET ROM-V19-XXLA4 from external sd using CWM.
2. Flash was confirmed rebooted.
3. Got Bootloop (Rocket Logo)
4. Could boot into download mode but PC not seeing device.
5. Removed battery for over 1 min.
6. Still no difference, the device just cant be seen. Even after reinstalling the drivers. via Kies trouble shooting.
Anyone have any ideas??

I had the same problem today, but it worked when i did this:
- Volume down + Home + Power
- Do not press continue yet
- Open Odin
- Connect it to the computer
- Choose Continue on the Note
Now the computer should install two new drivers (modem and another one), and then the phone will pop up on the computer.
Odin is seeing :- 0:[COM4]
Thanks so much really thought I'd bricked it. Forgot all about Odin A Beer and a thanks to you both.
Just a note, not sure what went wrong but I had to flash a full stock ROM including the Modem, Code and Multi to get it working again.

you are still in download mode without a ROM, so Flash the correct ROM package for your model , use i897 WIKI

Your phone is not bricked. You should be able to bring it back. Easiest method to get out of this is to use heimdall one click unbrick which will fix this error and put your phone in download mode.

Hey guys.
I got here a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 (without i) and this phone doesn't turn on. Sometimes I'm getting into the "Emergency dload mode" but the usual download mode or recovery doesn't work. In december 2012 i flashed CM7 on this phone, after that I did nothing which could brick the phone. If I'm trying to plug it into my computer to odin that device the computer doesn't recognize the phone ("USB-Device not recognized", so it's not a driver problem, the whole device isn't recognized). If I turn the phone into that emergency dload mode by pressing volume+home+power this mode disappears after a few seconds, sometimes after 3, sometimes after 6, sometimes after 10 seconds. Can it be the battery? I already charged the phone half an hour. Do you think I can reanimate that phone? Or you think i need to jtag it?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi skayable,

Did you take the battery out before pressing all the buttons? I've bricked mine a few times now (noob) and have managed to get a connection with Odin each time. Sometimes takes a few attempts, poss to do with my hands being too small to hold all buttons and put battery back in. One time, Odin took several minutes to find the device.
It's probably not a good idea to be using a flat battery. And do try re-installing the Windows standard drivers. Don't give up! If a noob can do it ...
So I sent that phone in service. They said, that the software was modified and the warranty is void. I said, they shouldn't repair it and send it right back. When I got the phone back, it worked! They flashed a new bootloader, found out that it's rooted and sent me back. Good method to get it repaired
That's so funny.

Hi guys, im using a rooted 2.3.6, then i did the partition for link2sd, and everything worked perfect, however since i downloaded some apps first before doing the partition, i decided to do factory settings on the phone settings so it would be like a fresh internal memory then begin downloading when link2sd is already placed, however after doing factory reset on settings, my phone just keep on rebooting, everytime i open it, i downloaded the firmware in sammobile, as per advised, however im not sure how to flash it. should i use ODIN, or use CWM and do this process.
Using CWM.
Copy Zip to SD Card
Reboot into recovery
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Install Zip From SD Card
Flash ROM
Reboot

Hi! About two weeks ago my phone did not recognize my SIM card. Phone is rooted of course. So I restore my org ROM and sometimes my SIM vas recognized and sometimes not. I decidet to buy a new SIM and SD card reader. After replacing it problem did not go away, so I start diging depper and I found it that my IMEI is null/null. For last week I was trying to do every tutorial, guide and other things on net and of course this great forum to fix it. No luck unfortunatly. Today when I hold HOME+VOL BUTTON+POWER trying to connect in odin mode, here come the wierd thing phone was enter some kind of SDCARD MODE and copy some thing from SD card, there was about four rows of text something like SDCARD MODE, COPYING (I do not know what) FROM SDCARD, COPY FROM SD CARD COMPLETE, (I do no know what). Then phone turned off and do not power up anymore. I was tryin to remove battery. Phone was connected to computer while this wierd thing happen. Have anybody an idea of what happend?

Recovering IMEI And Data Connection
•Make sure you have Samsung Kies or the Samsung USB Driver installed on your PC.
•Download and Extract: Odin3 3.04.zip - 457.11 KB to your PC if you don't already have it.
•Download and Extract: Param_Bin_I9305.zip - 612.14 KB to your PC. http://d-h.st/Fhb
•With your Phone Switched Off, press and hold: 'VOL DN' + 'HOME' + 'POWER' to enter Download Mode.
•Connect your phone to your PC via USB Cable and start Odin.
•Check your phone is connected by seeing if a COM Port in a Blue box is present under ID:COM.
•Press the 'PDA' Button and select the 'Param_Bin_I9305.tar.md5' file you extracted from the Zip Archive earlier.
•Press the 'Start' Button and wait for it to finish flashing. If successful, you will see a Green Box with 'PASS!'.
•Wait for your phone to reboot then go to your Dialer and press: *#06#. You should now see your IMEI and your Data Connection will be back
Thanks for your help. I tried this for 10 times but no help. But at the moment my phone doesent even power on so I cannot enter odin mode or do anything on it.
Do maybe someone know solution for my problem!?
ensure that the battery is not drained,flash costs much~
you should verify whether the forementioned method have been finished correctly.
method of the guy upstairs has a base,if you didnt achieve,it will not work.
it is the drivers installed in first step, that makes your dead phone recognized in fastboot mode,way to check whether it installed well is the blue(green?) box in the sixth step,if you didn't see it,proved that what you were doing was nonsense.
All above has been done and still can't start,well,

SD card mode copy's everything from the sd card to the bootloader or the emmc.. Not sure which one.. But it renders it complete hard brick (not able to turn on at all)

So. Is there any hope for my phone? Or mybe I try to send it to service? If its hard bricked they will not reciognize that phone was rooted and have lost IMEI... Is that right? Or will they see that phone was rooted etc?

sd card mode
After flashing my gt-i9305 from CM 10.1 to Liquid Smooth (Liquid Smooth worked great) and after another reboot, my Phone turned into "sd card mode" or something, and now, i can´t boot to Liquid Smooth, Cwm, Bootloader ,Fastboot, the Led doesn´t work, no usb connection (Odin)!
Today i builded a Usb Jig... on my S2 the Jig was working very well, but on my S3... nothing !
how could this happen? I've followed the instructions, and it was not the first time I've flashed a custom Rom!
Thanks for any support!
