1- Wrong section.
2- You do not give any info about what is going on.
Have you used Odin before? Did you have USB debugging enabled? Have you tried other USB ports on your computer, or other computers if available? What happens when you plug your phone in to a computer? Do you have the proper drivers installed on your computer?

Going "only" by your topic, if that's truly the case I can only recommend that you build/use a jig. Otherwise we need more info.

Thanks...
I have been flashimg ROMs using Odin first, but recently after flashing Axura I noticed that I couldnt see my device on a pc (i tried a few) and then when I tried to flash odin, I was unable to.

You have been around awhile it seems so give more info so people can help. You never answered any of my questions. It could be as simple as your drivers messed up. But since you aren't really saying what you have done, what the phone does when plugged to the computer you aren't going to get much help.

ok!
So I have been regularly flashing roms without issue. Loaded drivers onto two different pcs without issue and was able to odin every time. Was also able to see my internal and external storage cards from both machines (one is xp, other w7).
I have flashed quite a few roms recently including flashing directly over a rom (phoenix rising 1 to 2) using only CWM. I did this because I couldnt get, my pc to see my device. So I am not sure of exactly when it went wrong.
I reinstalled the dirvers on both pcs
But that didn't help. Phone just charges. I have tried to ' restore' to stock but phone just hangs on bootscreen, but I was able to reflash 2.2roms usings CWM.
interestingly I have had real difficulty getting into download mode. Also, if I use rom manager to install a rom it says I have an error getting into download mode. I can only get in via cwm. I generally cannot get in with the 3 key method. And I van never get in,from the enhanced shutdown menu. It just reboots.
Sometimes when I try to boot I get stuck for a bit on the battery charging graphic, except it sgows an empty battery (when it isnt).
Sometimes ro get it to boot I,have to plug in usb power even if battery charged.
Finally when device is off and I plug it in to charge, it boots up.

*** UPDATE ***
For no reason I can fathom, all of a sudden my PC sees my Captivate. the ONLY thing I did was using TITANIUM I did a re-backup of all my apps. It did something but I dont know what.

lol happen to reboot your computer in between then?
Btw.. there are a TON of posts (including the Q&A sticky) that shows you alternatives on how to get into DL mode on your phone.
The search button is your friend - all you have to do is look for "bricked"

Actually I didnt reboot...
and guess what, after an hour of seeing my captivate, I went into DL mode to run Odin FINALLY and all of a sudden it stopped recognizing the captivate. once again USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED!!!
my issue isnt getitng ito DL mode, its getitng the PC to recognize my device.
anyone???

Sorry man, I am at a loss as to why your computer just up and stops recognizing the connection. I would back up your internal sd to your computer when you are/if able to get it to connect again and get a new one because something has to be defective with the phone.
Edit: You never answered one posters question about a different cable. Do you have one to try? Is the cable you are using the OEM Samsung?

{FIXED} take a look at this bricked galaxy tab, repairable? [FIXED]

basically i messed up the bootloaders now it does this (bear with me)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkFsZK79XYQ
it only does this when plugged into the wall and it will not do anything if plugged into usb port on the pc, my guess now is the battery is so flat that it wont do a thing any more! i almost got it to run via odin on the pc but the battery drained so bad that it wont respond, i have left it plugged in for at least 6 hours with then just the same response just on and off on and off.
can i take the battery out and charge it via a separate charger to get some life into it to then flash the stock rom via odin?
any ideas would be great! i don't mind taking it apart but don't want to if i'm going to fry the battery i have all sorts of wall chargers, can i join the + and - from the wall charger to the correct wires on the battery for it to charge? i have a multimeter to test the batteries voltage. any suggestions?
[UPDATE 1 ] flashed overcome stock rom then pc wont connect to odin even in recovery mode, :recovery is stock: :rom is stock: from the overcome website, cant flash any rom via odin as it wotn connect, error message usb device not recognised' how to fix this issue? maybe update.zip via sdcard within stock recovery? which rom and for gt-p1000 united kingdom. i tried to reinstall samsung kies for the correct driver but still the same issue, cannot connect after flashing. i have been following this guide http://p1000.teamovercome.net/?page_id=64 any help with connection would be great or flashing via recovery, almost unbricked but not quite.
my connection problem was due to a faulty usb cable, all is fixed now and i have overcome kratos.installed and running sweet

Hello, I don't think that you have a dead battery. I think your rom has a defect cause your Tab would like to boot. Is it possible to go to recovery or to the download mode? Try to flash something. Does your Tab start this screen flash automaticly by plug on a PC od starts this only if you try to turn it on?
PS: It is possible to remove the battery but it is a little difficult. My suggestion: don't touch the Battery

will not go to download mode or recovery. no response when pushing power power button, all i get is the flashing screen with pc and mobile phone connection.

i left tab connected to the pc for one hour, the tab came on with the pc-phone connection image, i flashed overcome rom via odin with repartition which completed but when it went to reboot it has stayed turned off and wont come on at all even when pressing the power button, no download mode and no recovery, i will wait again for it to come on and try the stock rom, not sure if i've got the correct bootloaders or not.
any ideas?

Have you tried leaving it on the ac outlet? or car charger?

ok slight update. . .
i left it plugged into the pc after it passed the odin flash it then BOOTED i was like WWWAAAAAAHHHHOOOOO bouncing on my chair and feeling very happy indeed the battery is totally dead but is now charging in the wall switched off to get some life back into the battery im so pleased
next steps is to get the overcome rom to flash!

i tried for 6 hours to plug it directly into the wall but nothing worked.

Exact same thing happened to me on the Sprint Tab. Called Samsung and sent the unit in. They sent me a brand new unit the next week.

when plugged into my pc now i get an error message, ' usb device has not been recognised' im thinking its the drivers but not sure where to get them, i have searched.
i have updated the 1st post with more information on this issue.

Your tab was showing a secondary bootloader so if you mess up your primary bootloader with the bootloader patch it'll still be recoverable and as for getting overcome I would recommend upgrading to gingerbread which doesn't have protected bootloaders and flash kratos or Jupiter which are faster than the froyo based overcome rims ;-)

the only issue im having now is the fact that the pc wont recognise the android phone when in download mode.
the only message i get on the screen is 'usb device not recognised' i am then unable to flash a different rom or a stock rom via odin being gingerbread or froyo. thats why im asking if there is an update.zip file that i can flash from the recovery to make the usb mode work as it wont even work with debugging mode on or off and wont show via samsung kies or odin when the tab is booted.

my connection problem was due to a faulty usb cable, all is fixed now and i have overcome kratos.installed and running sweet

good troubleshooting!!! I

Try using AIO toolbox to install drivers after uninstalling the old ones(this fixed me right up), and try a different port.

Try to install Keis mini for the latest drivers. I had connection issues after flashing the leaked 2.3.4, and installing keis mini fixed it. Reboot your computer after the driver installation, and it should connect the phone fine. Also, what rom were you running before flashing? This may be a stupid question, but are you sure you were using the correct key combo for download mode?

As mentioned re-install with the latest drivers. You can get the LATEST Samsung drivers plus Odin 1.85 from my downloads page here:
http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=1095
Don't worry about them being in the SGS II section they work for all Samsung Galaxy S devices and are the latest ones.

Used one that came from Link. It gives file as SGH-I897_ATT_I897UCKH3_I897ATTKH3_I897UCKH3_I897UCKH3. Used oden 3 V1.83 to phone. I somehow got the phone to download mode and re-installed 2.3.3 and rooted with this post How to Root Captivate 2.3.3 Gingerbread with I897UCKF1 AutoRoot DesignGears.tar found here http://www.techpetals.com/how-to-ro...-with-i897uckf1-autoroot-designgears.tar-3624. This worked fine then I tried to get 2.3.4 to load AGAIN and found it was not rooted and use same procedure to root which it did. Now it keeps rebooting. Phone freezes then reboot to main screen. I have gotten the charge to work in off position my rebooting PC and leaving it pluged in by USB and trying top get to DOWN Load screen but will not work. Tried I900 procedure and this puts it in to recovery mode
I have reloaded 64 bit drivers again. USB plug on HP DV7 Laptop with I5 Intel chip is showing phone with No battery installed trying to connect but drive USB not recognized warning. Have tried to re-boot phone but keeps going to AT&T log screen or I can get to Recovery mode no download mode

You have to get it into download mode again, to flash the stock KH3 kernel! Can be found in dev section. If you can get into recovery flash biffmod and then to stock with odin one click

biffmod is not in recovery mode. A list can be seen and not there

You have to download it on ur computer, then in recovery mount usb to computer and transfer it, then flash it

Bet this can't be fixed

No firmware and USB problem
I have a large problem, my wifes galaxy s won't go by the first screen (says GALAXY S GT-I9000)
So i thought i'd fix it using odin using the 3 button combo. But that isn't working anymore.
Luckily i have a usb jig which gets me to the download mode ...... but !
When i connect the pc cable (tried 2 OE samsung ones) i get device not recognized so i can't use odin to fix it.
What can i do, or do i have to send it to a repair centre to be resurrected ?
I have searched and searched but not found any topics with the same issues i have on her phone.

Need a bit more info i.e were you flashing the phone??if so which rom?

Then phone was playing up so i flashed darkys 10.4.2.
However the usb connection wouldn't work so i flashed it to standard JVT
using mobile odin.
Then i rooted it and went to go into recovery mode and it wouldn't turn on.

I tried to help the gentleman , but no luck . From what he told me , phone turns on after battery insertion , and It is not recognised by usb => so odin not usable .

If you can get to download mode but the phone isn't recognized by your computer then i'd say it's a driver issue. Install your phone's drivers again. To do that, just installing kies is enough BUT be sure to open task manager in windows and kill any process that has kies in it's name before opening odin.
If that still isn't flying i'd try using different USB ports and even with a different computer.
Extra advice:
- try not to flash bootloaders for now. That means picking a rom that has no bootloaders included but matches your phone's current bootloader. If you were using gingerbread flash a gingerbread rom, if you were using froyo, flash a froyo rom.

phone not starting up past first screen (GALAXY S GT-I9000 in white on black screen), phone not recognized neither by pc nor laptop ( usb drivers installed ) , phone turns on after battery insertion without pressing anything.

This manual is from a German board
Take the battery out, then hold the 3 keys combo for download and put the battery back on. Now you should start the download mode.
If not, then try it with a jig.
Good luck!

GOT A JIG. WORKS FINE.
But pc wont recognize it !!

Have you double checked that you have the right drivers installed? I know you have to use the Nexus S drivers for CM9, not sure about Darky's ROM.

Drivers
Download drivers 64 bit | 32 bit from here and install.

It is NOT the drivers as my other galaxy s connects fine every time.
Drivers have been removed and installed repeatedly.

I would suggest a different computer, maybe a different cable. I have this same issue with my infuse, hope you get this resolved.

Already tried that as well

You could try Adam outler's unbrickable mod.

Pasted from other thread:
I just wrote a wall of text b4 and my browser crashed GG
Well, here we go again, i will only tell what I did/the process
I did a nandroidbackup, then i wiped all data (data+cache+dalvik), installed CyanogenMod 9 (Build 16), it rebooted automaticly, so I entered recovery again, installed Google Apps from there, wiped data and cache (no dalvik), rebooted.
Ended up looping at the Samsung screen (not animation), and I couldnt do the 3-button-combo, so the NANDroid backup is useless.
I can enter the download thing, but i dont even know what it does.
Tried plugging it in the charger (after letting it dry out during the night), and only the loop thing appears. Cant do anything.
I see that theres something called odin (Since my download thing is working (VolDown+Home+Power) if its that you mean.
If its possible to fix my phones state, please tell me how, since I startedrooting, flashing and stuff yesterday (Gotta start at some point) and followed HDTechVideos tut (On his website)

I have nowhere near enough ability for that. Pity though.

Your problem is most likely the USB port. Maybe cleaning it might help. It happened to me for a few months then when I got the S2 I stopped using it. Began to use it as my home 3g wifi modem and kept it on charge the whole time. A few weeks later tried connecting it to the computer and it worked first go. Ever since it has worked perferctly. I suspect the problem possibly started by a rain drop getting into the port.
Mind you, even when it wasn't being recognised by the PC, I would constantly connect, remove, reconnect, reboot PC and phone etc and it would sometimes get recognised. Other times it wouldn't connect but Odin still recognised it.
Sounds silly but try leaving it on charge as I did and maybe, just maybe you'll be lucky like I was.

Well as of today it is away to the O2 repair centre.
Its under warranty (unless the find out it was rooted etc) so fingers crossed.

Well had a text back today to say my phone has been despatched, so here is hoping that its fixed.

It came back from the repair centre yesterday with a note saying a part had been replaced,
no costs for me, yippeeeeeeee.

houston i think we have a problem

hello,
I think I bricked my galaxy tab 8.9, after filling internal memory, it shut down.
now when I boot it its stuck on splash and when I try to go into cwm it acts as if its not there I can get into download mode but odin or the pc for that matter doesn't find the tab, even though drivers are installed. the weird thing is when plugged into pc it initiates the power but stays on a blank screen.
any help much appreciated this is the second brick on this device I recovered last time with odin but this time I could use some help from the devs because im stumped.
thank you-

Does it say qhusb

no I don't think so on the tab if I boot regular I get stuck on Samsung splash, if I boot volume+ plus power I get bootloader then when I pick recovery the icon flashes like theres not a recovery.
downloader mode works but not detetected by odin or pc for that matter unless I plug into a usb port the tab will come on but just a blank screen.
im gonna see what nvflash is capable of any thoughts.

You aren't hard bricked. Reinstall drivers then go into download mode then plug in the tab to a USB on the back picture computer then start Odin

Are you running windows? If so most likely you roached the drivers. I've done it before and trying to reinstall them didn't work for me. I had to do the show hidden devices trick in device manager to find and delete them. LMK if you need some help

im using linux at the moment (bt5 r2) any suggestions on seeing device with adb maby if not ill switch to windows

thanks for the help it ended up being a short in the cord but i got odin to reconize it flashed firmware im back thanks for everything
