I've had this phone since its launch, but I'm now encountering this strange problem.
While I can get into Download Mode without difficulty, I have an issue with connecting it to my PC. While it'll pick it up fine while the phone is in recovery or normal modes, DL mode causes it to give me this error, thus blocking Odin and my chances of returning it to stock.
I desperately need to flash my way out of this battery-draining and unstable OC/UV kernel, but Odin won't recognize it because Windows won't recognize it.
I am using Win7 x64 and WinXP x86, both with appropriate drivers and both not working and having the same issue.
CWM is similarly failing to work, producing a "failed to chown" something or other. Is my phone basically gone at this point?
My suggestion is to reinstall the drivers for the device and if cwm is not working right then use rom manager to install another version of it and if that doesn't work im pretty sure in the development section u can dl the update file with cwm on it

If ur trying to flash a new rom I've had this problem before the reason it isn't working is u need to flash back to stock first before u can install a new rom but it will work if u want to flash the same rom over the one u have something to do with the kernel I believe not quite sure but the way I've fixed that is to flash back to stock before flashing a new rom
Edit:::: or u need to disable lagfix by putting a file in ur root folder named disable-lagfix

okay thanks unhelpful guy
if you read his original post, he can't get his pc to recognize the phone in download mode. big problem.
same problem i've got.
Have your tried different usb ports. If you are using a pc try the port in the rear of your tower.
Are you using oem usb cord?
Have you tried running odin as administrator
Where did you get the drivers from
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I've had this happen and I was pissed. No matter what I did, my computer would not see this phone and the phone was bricked with cognition. So I don't know exactly what I did BUT this comes close. Uninstall keys and go to control panel and unistall any samsung drivers. Restart computer. Install only the samsung drivers found on the samsung support page at the official samsung website. And then try putting it in download mode again. I seriously spent 7 hours on getting this to work. If this doesn't work.then you need to find the right drivers. I know there's like 3 different driver packages and kies that have the ring one, but some just completely mess you up. So.find the right one with the right drivers. Good luck! Oh and have patience, that's key.

Okay, I'll take your advice. I thought I tried every combination of installing and uninstalling until I nearly ripped my hair out. I tried patching the GPS and it totally boned all GPS functionality, so reverting to stock is apparently my only option... and my phone isn't recognized in download mode. So I guess a few more uninstalls and restarts and we'll see if I blow my brains out today...
Yeah. I just uninstalled Kies, Samsung Drivers, and Samsung New PC Studio. I rebooted twice, and then reinstalled the drivers (from the OP, which are identical to the ones on the Samsung site) and rebooted.
Guess what? No effing luck. Nothing shows up in Odin (remove battery, run odin, plug cable in, plug phone in, return battery and enter download mode) and my taskbar tells me that "A USB Device has malfunctioned and is not recognized."
What the HELL is going on? There are several people with this problem and nobody seems to have an answer that isn't "buhhh you have the wrong drivers."
I had this issue, used a different computer and it worked. I did have to try multiple drivers to get it to work though.

Have you tried running ofin as administrator

CHECK OUT THIS POST FROM SteveVHT ON THE ANDROID FORMS:
Had this problem this past week.
You need to uninstall all Samsung software and drivers completely. Do this the normal way through Control Panel.
After that, you need to go into your registry and delete all Samsung folders.
You open up Regedit in Windows
Then go to HKEY CURRENT USER, Expand that (+), expand Software
and delete the Samsung folder
Do the same for HKEY LOCAL MACHINE
When you simply uninstall Samsung stuff, it leaves a bunch of junk in the registry of the computer even after uninstall.
Reboot the computer with no phone attached.
Download the Samsung update from Sprint
http://www6.sprint.com/downloads/samsung/executables/SamsungMoment_Update.exe
Install the updater. After its installed, right click the SWUpgrade and run as administrator....Follow all on screen instructions, and you should be good.
If you do not need the updater, then you can skip the software install and just download the drivers for the phone from the SDX forum. Just do a search.
But I suggest you do it this way, it was the only thing that worked for me...
Running Windows 7 Ultimate 64
Hope this helps

Same problem here. Windows 7 will not detect my phone in download mode. I have tried every set of drivers out there. Detects it in regular (mass storage), and USB debugging mode though.

I don't believe this to be a problem with Odin (even though I tried that method). Odin picks it up perfectly fine while in USB debugging mode. Windows simply will not pick it up when it enters download mode.
Any other mode Windows will "chime" when the phone is connected. Download mode doesn't do anything. No sound, chime, icon, nothing....

Did you try deleting all drivers then going into download mode and letting windows install the drivers by itself?

You know, this might be the only thing I haven't tried.
Here goes.
Edit:
Exactly the same megafail.
Enable USB Debugging and Run the batch file from the attached and follow onscreen Instructions.
75 downloads - no confirmation - files removed.
Doesn't seem to want to temp root my phone. Tried with and without restart numerous times. The phone is rooted, and adb is installed correctly (or at the very least it's always done what I've wanted it to) but the batch times out when checking for temporary root every time. Oh well it was worth a shot.
I think "usb debugging" is not enabled on your phone.
Go to settings, applications, developement and enable usb debugging.
i'm with Canadian Mobilicity ... i am using Bionix V (official Froyo) and its giving me almost instantaneous GPS fix...
Axura worked as well... but this one is damn fast....
What are the commands from the terminal?
This sound good.
Do I install via cwm?

No, USB debugging definitely was on. I always make sure it is. Otherwise straight ADB wouldn't work properly like I mentioned it always has for me
Besides, it tells you in the notifications bar if it's on whenever you plug in, and it's definitely on.
Maybe later I'll open up the batch and try the commands by hand from ADB.

Going through and doing it by hand. Pushing the files now. The line:
"%adb% -d push %gps% /system/etc"
makes total sense, in that it's pushing the gps.conf file to the folder /system/etc
but the lines following it:
"%adb% -d push %f1% /system/csc/WND/system/CSCFiles.txt"
and so on, they seem to be trying to push the txt file to a txt file already on the device. The shell tells me that "/system/csc/WND/system/CSCFiles.txt" isn't a valid file or directory.
There don't seem to be any lines that make directories /system/csc/WND/system/{files}
Should I assume that's still the intended destination and not an error? Go ahead and put some mkdir lines into busy box?
EDIT: DONE. It rebooted, installed packages, etc. Formatted data and cache when it did, so booting was like first boot (took a while, showed the general 'new rom' screens, etc.) Checking GPS now/soon.
Does it work on Mobilicity?
good work！
It should fix gps on mobilicity, i will add apn settings for mobilicity later.
On mobili u dont have to do *#06# or *#272 , just run the file and reboot.
giving me an error too
Just wanna be clear
I run the prog
Let it do its thing- exit
Then reboot?

You need a HyperTerminal or other Terminal app that can connect to modem on COM port and run AT commands.
1. Connect phone by USB (phone should be on normally)
2. Enter 3845#*970# in dialer
3. Select Port Settings -> Select CP USB
4. Start hyperterminal, in COM settings select same port like in devide manager -> LGE mobile USB Serial Port, 115200bps
5. Type AT if response is not OK, change port number
6. Type at%imei, it should display your current IMEI
7. Type at%imei=x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x , where x,x,x... is your orginal IMEI number
8. Change again from CP USB -> AP USB
8. Restart
You should know that in many countries changing IMEI is illegal!
How did your reply Thanks...

i cant do it coz i recieved unknown device alert when selected CP USB
i recieve error when pressing enter after typing the right IMEI.
What should i do?
sorry
i didn't type ","
everything is perfect now.
Thanks
p.s. i used "tutty" instead of "hyperterminal" cause of windows 7
i cant do it ....coz when i go to ur 2nd step ....it says coonection problem or invalid MMI code
P.S my IMEI is not displaying after flashing CM7 ...and i seriously want it back :|
Help rebuild imei after smartflesh tool. Now installed Zeus 2.2 + Hidden menu pack. In "Port settings" i have only three points: "Diag setting" "USB Switching" "Data Setting". "Select CP USB" - I do not have.

update: Found a shift in the "AP CP USB Switchings". Now another problem, I do not see the printed text in HyperTerminal. If i tape "at" blind to dial and press enter, see the corresponding OK.

In the blind well replaced. Thank you.
This was successful as if by magic!

I have the same exact problem and don't know what to do about it. I don't think you can get root as that's not really a terminal??
EDIT: i just got it to work. 2 things I did differently 1) turned off airplane mode. 2) didn't change the baud rate setting to match the one in the lg mobile modem details. probably airplane mode was the problem though . Also, I used the commas, but not one at the end.

I also checked "retain cp usb after reboot" and phone rebooted. i chose correct port. and in putty i checked "serial" section, then typed comx (which my own), baud rate 115200. Everything fine. When i hit the Enter putty pops-up a window but nothing respond.

How about trying another USB port? Or maybe another PC, if you have the chance, to use another one
I played around with smartflash yesterday and i checked the 'erase entire cp' which will erase my imei , thinking that it would unlock me full market access because the play store checks the imei to determine the country restrictions . when the phone booted up, it showed a strange korean message which i could not read and the only english letters were 'CP' . i think that had to do with me checking the 'erase entire cp'. now,where ever i go there is no signal , i think my phone is blacklisted because it did not have a imei . is there any way to flash a imei to my phone ?
Well I had to do this when my phone got security error. I found a tutorial in XDA, sorry I'm at school so I can't search it for you but I had to use Hyperterminal (try to Google : restore imei hyperterminal xda).
EDIT : What is strange is that my network was working fine and no strange message was showing, not like you.

So, you need to switch usb mode from AP to CP from hidden menu 3845#*970#. Then when you create a new connection choose com 24 or smth like that. it will work! just try more.

Hi everyone, unfortunatly i broke my screen, my phone was rooted and i was using CM7
i would like to recover my files, but due to the my broken screen i can't see anything so i can't mount usb storage,
I also heard that if i activate usb debugging mode i can acces my files easily.. but debugging mode wasn't activated..
and finally I heard that through Recovery Mode, i can mount usb storage, but once again i cannot see or do anything ..
so can you help me please ?
thanks a lot for your help, and thanks to everyone on this forum for their help and their roms etc !

Go into recovery and plug it to the pc. Open cmd and navigate to your adb folder. Then type "adb devices" you should now see your phone listed as some random numbers. If not you did something wrong.
If you see your device type this "adb pull /sdcard C:\…" and the whole sd should be copied to the directory.
