Unknown Device

Hi to all i got a Samsung Captivate in Download Mode and I cannot do anything because my pc recognize it as unknown device. I installed and uninstalled drivers from forum and from samsung url but still the same problem. I downloaded AIO pack and installed the drivers but still no luck! I installed KIES but still nothing.... any ideas how to fix and flash my phone again to stock fw????
Thank You in advance

Have you tried multiple ports?
Delete drivers, dl again but don't install. When plug in message for unknown device pops up click it and select option to find drivers. Navigate to the file where dl is
May work

Sorry typo. Once again long shot but plug phone in click on the unkown device. Navigate to android sdk I think under extras then Google add one there is USB. Click on it then ok. See if it can find drivers that works

not compatible with x64 windows

Make sure you have the most recent USB drivers installed in your sdk. You may need.to enter sdk manager first. I may be wasting your time.

[Q] Is there any link to download files to flash 2.3.3 with Heimdall?

Hi I can't Flash my SGS to 2.3.3 through Odin by any reasons which I couldn't configure yet,,, anyway i always can flash 2.2.1 XXJPY through Heimdall with no problem at all.. My question is can I flash 2.3.3 through Heimdall? and where i can get those 5 files???
Thanks

For flashing gingerbread you need odin 1.7 because you can update bootloader with it. Check if heimdall have bootloader update option

If you run Heimdall from command line with verbose output then it should be able to indicate where the problem is, assuming that Samsung haven't changed the product ID. However the produce ID can be retrieved from control panel.
Anyway, let me know what output you get from Heimdall in verbose mode and I might be able to help you out.

For odin try restarting pc, install usb drivers, connect your phone in download mode and than fire up odin

Go to "http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=4&t=1&o=1#osa" sign up, download the USB drivers, install and you'll be away

Probably downloaded the wrong Odin version that couldn't recognise it

I have downloaded the drivers and extracted the zip file what do i do now?
And it does not just connect to odin it does not connect to my pc at all

How long does it usually take to install them because i have been installing for the past 15 mins and its only just getting to half way
Thanks

Right Click Odin (executable file), then run as an administrator. Make sure all files needed for updates are stored in the hard drive of your machine (desktop/laptop). Otherwise update won't be successful. Usually it takes +/-5 minutes.

It keeps coming up with this message about 10 seconds in <1> --- cannot open the usb serial port. code: 32

Finnaly managed t do it! Now i have 2.3.6! Thanks for the help

What is your phone model? Galaxy S (i9000) or the s3? Where have you problem entering? In recovery mode or in download mode? Doesn't your PC recognize your phone?

Maybe Kies runs in the background? It usually blocks any attempt to use Odin. If so, kill Kies process in your PC (by task manager)

Get SD card, put it into Your PC. Download to PC and copy other kernel zip file to it. Put SD card into SGS. Flash new kernel via recovery. Reboot and should work.

GT-P1000 France Firmware

Hi,
I am looking for android 2.3.6 for gt-p1000 gingearbear I can install in recovery mode, because I can't connect my tablet on pc, the CyanogenMod doesn't allow me to connect the tablet to the pc, when I plugged into the pc it starts to load and the pc doesn't indicate to me that USB port has just been used,
thank you,
cordially GhostVai :laugh:

You won't find a stock ROM that you can flash from custom recovery.
The reverse is also true, you can't find a custom ROM that you can flash from stock recovery.
Get stock ROM from samfirmware or use overcome GB stock safe v5 (follow my signature).
Put your ran in download mode, and use Odin to flash.
If Odin didn't detect your tab, try reinstall the Samsung USB driver.
All of this is included in the GB-stock-safe-v5 package.

Odin is meant to detect your tab in download mode.
Not while it boots into CM.
From off, hold volume down and power button.
Fire up odin without connecting tab to PC.
Once it is download mode, connect to PC.

thanks,I did that, but odin don't detect the tablet :/,i must change odin version?

I always use odin 1.7
Some uses 1.85.
I don't think it is the odin. It is your USB driver.
You should stop kies. Kill it. Prevent it from starting up. Or even uninstall it.
Remove the USB driver if you know how to.
Reinstall the usb driver again.
Use other machine that never had Samsung driver installed on it before.
You can try heimdall but it is a different software.
Lastly you can use Linux with heimdall, which always works for me.
