[Q] captivate USB device not recognized

Hi guys, i know this topic has been talked to death but i literally tried everything. 3 cables, 4 computers. i have 2 captivate and one of them needs to be sent back for repairs, but i cannot restore to stock. The phone is fully working, with access to CWM and download mode, but my computer just wont recognize it. I have to send it back to rogers but there is a huge ATnT load screen on it
did any one find a fix to the usb problem? i just need to use ODIN
OR is there any way to CWM back to stock from CM7, and changing the splash screen?
thanks
edit: forgot to mention that the phone can charge though usb, it gives me the "USB device not recognized" thing on all of my computers

Are you on CM7 right now?

im currently on MIUI but i could flash to CM7 from an external microSD

its the drivers. sec, ill find the ones that solved it for me.

thats what worked for me.

tried those drivers, still epic fail =(

I had the same problem and i was able to get odin, not heimdall to recognise once out of a hundred plugs of the usb. Give it a try just keep pluging and unpluging

which side were you unplugging? the phone or the computer?

Use AIO toolbox to install correct drivers, then never use it again, worked great for me!

i think i might have mismatching boot loaders, which is why its causing the problem. is there a way to check which version of boot loaders you have? and can you change boot loaders without using a USB?

bump, no one has any solutions?

Give this a try
1. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284#
Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode.
The good mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.
2. Plug the USB cable.

thanks for the reply but CM7 doesnt support USSD from what i've been reading, and does nothing when i type that in

What I had to do to get my recognized by odin was go into download mode and then pull the battery and brick my phone and then connect it to kies and it will repair the drivers then use jig to get into download mode and flash as normal

I should mention I have done this several times when coming from a cm7 rom with same results

how do you brick the phone if it is not flashing anything

[Q]Samsung Captivate bricked?

Recently, I was updating my new Captivate using Kies Mini and the update failed, I flashed a couple of ROMs using Odinoneclick and after a couple of tries, I ****ed up my phone, I got it to a point where it would go through a boot loop and eventually get to the GB rom I installed but even that barely worked. Now I finally got my phone into download mode (actually the screeen with the pic of the phone then the triangle then the computer) but my phone wont be detected by my laptop (as in no message pops up as I plug it in) so I can't do an Odin Oneclick to stock 2.1. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks in advance

If you installed Heimdall, Odin won't work on the same USB port. I assume you already tried deleting and reinstalling your drivers?
The only thing that worked for me when that happened before was using a different USB port and finaly flashed KK4 through Odin. If you have access to another pc, that would probably fix your connection problem as well (as long as that pc has the needed drivers).

Well then you don't have that many options left. If I were you, I'd keep trying to delete/reinstall drivers (of course, pc restart), swapping USB port and try both Odin and Heimdall (remember that Odin won't work on the same USB port as Heimwall installed his drivers on). Perhaps, using a different usb cable would work too. After that, the only thing I can think would be to use a different pc.
Sometime it's a mix of those things that will make it work, our cappys are quite capricious lol.

I made a 300k ohm jig and it worked but now when I try it, I think it puts the phone in Firmware error mode or whatever its called, or am I just doing it wrong

U r doing it right. That can be an alternate download mode.
U just got to get Odin or Heimdall to recoqnize it now, so u can flash a Stock firmware.
Have u tried using a different micro usb/usb cable to get Odin to see ur phone ? And usb port in the back of the pc, not a hub ?

It's a laptop and I've tried every USB port, and Idh any other cables

Ok...but if u can get ur hands on another cable, it would definately be worth a try, especially if all else is not working. I have personally see it and read it over and over that a different cable does the trick.

Is it most likely the cable?

Idk about most likely...but like i said, if u have exhausted all other means, then it is worth trying.
I personally found several at a Dollar Tree store over a year and a half ago. I use one of them all of the time instead of the one that came with the phone, because that samsung cable just stopped workin for me just outta the blue. It happens. One day a trustworthy cable and then one day not. And of all things, the cable i got for a $1 has worked great. :thumbup:

[Q] USB mode not working

Hey, been using this site for couple weeks now and loving all the roms you guys make but i'm having trouble getting my s5830 to connect through usb mode.
I'm running slimrom V3 and windows xp home edition, i've installed kies and all the drivers but when i open kies it just says connecting then gives an i/o error when i click on the new drive in my computer. Any ideas how i can get it working?

Kies won't detect your phone after root and after installing a custom rom. What happens when you plug you phone into the computer? Does your phone say in the notification bar USB connected

Oh ok thanks, didn't know that about kies.
Yea it shows in the notification bar, i can turn usb mode on an off but when i click the new drive in my computer it either crashes or gives an i/o error.

The drivers should be set up already if not try and reinstall them again you might aswel delete Kies unless you have a stock phone, what are you trying to do?

Ditch Kies and just use latest drivers. (2013/01)
Uninstall kies and previous drivers, install, reboot, connect.

Kill all process with kies in task manager. Use original cable, try to change usb port.
Put phone in download, open odin, connect phone.
Otherwise I don't know. Try another computer.

First connect your phone to pc.then open odin 3.07

That's true. I had an experience using fake cable with my old android phone, it's sucks..

I'm using the original cable on my Desktop computer work but on my laptop not. I think I will reinstall my windows.

since you succeeded in one computer and failed in the other to be recognized in the download mode then it's definitely from the computer itself...try what the guys said before and give us a feedback

I'm thinking of just changing my rom, what do you guys think is a better rom?

if you install custom Rom , the kies will unable to detect your phone.. and in custom Rom u can also transfer file from phone to pc or pc to phone . j. when you connect ur phone just on the usb dubbing ..

Kies works only whit stock rom.

You should use a 3er party app to your pc'll recognaize your phone as a massive storage, it could be to a rom bug that don't mount the usb storage
