[Q] Semi-bricked, USB not recognized, doesn't even charge

Hi!
After searching the forums for a while I did not find a thread exactly matching my problem, so if I've overseen it, please just point me there.
To my problem:
I did a very stupid mistake, flashing a new custom ROM with a different kernel (as usual, cooked in Docs Kitchen) without converting back the lagfix. So I ended up with a non-booting phone - so far, so bad. Note to myself: Never flash a phone during the carnival weekend again.
So I booted into download mode and tried to recover it via Odin, but here I got my really bad surprise: USB device is not recognized, thus I Odin does not see the phone.
I tried 4 different PCs with Win7 or XP, a Linux desktop and a Macbook. I also tried 5 different USB cables (they all work with other smartphones like the Desire and the HD2). Wherever I stick the phone in, it is not recognized (code 10/code 43 in Win7). I used the stand-alone-drivers from the sticky forum thread here, and also most recent Kies versions, always the same: USB device not recognized.
Does anybody have an idea how to revive the USB connectivity? I'm almost at the point to send it in for repairs...
Or can someone elaborate how I could have killed USB with corrupting the ROM? I've to admit I do not really understand how these two are connected.

Hi Amokbunny
You get into download mode but the PC won't recognize the phone?
That's messy and I can think of nothing that could have done that. you did not change the bootloader did you (flashed a full samsung ROM containing a bootloader, for example VJ1)?
If not I guess it's a hardware issue.

formatted to ext4 without any backup
I did a very stupid mistake too. Got darky's rom 9.3., installed i, everything worked great(really awesome thing), then i wnt to recovry mode and entered tthe speedmod and it showed mr that my phone has rtf files system not EXT4 as it should be, thou i installed the speed mode. then i chose to repartition it to ext4 but i didn't choose the backup. Just clicked to format the sd. It did formatted to EXT4, rebooted, i saw the darky's rom logo and the the phone vibrated and the logog of the droid just flashed. I tried to enter recovery mode-didn't load. Started the download mode connexted to pc used ODIN 1.7 with PDA I9000XXJPY.tar, MODEM I9000XXJPY.tar, GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPY-LITE.tar s1_odin_20100512.pit.
The phone has started, appeared teh stok galaxy s logo and it's just flashing. Help needed. Don,t know what to do know. I have galayx s i9000 european version.

somehow i've managed to install new firmare 2.2.1 /I9000XXJPY-baseband /2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1-kernel version, but z4root isn't working. When i start permanent root the programm ends on aquiring root shell, the debug mode is on

Got it all running, installed Darky's rom 9.3. Thanks anyway.

Yep, I can boot into download and recovery modes, but that's it.
The only apparent change in the new custom ROM was the kernel.
I also cannot really access my external SD card (it shows me some phantom files, but not the actual content of the SD), otherwise I'd try to recover it this way.
I agree with the hardware issue, if it wouldn't have coincided with the flash procedure...anyway, I think I'll send it in for repairs if I don't get it to run on this sunday.

I have the exact same problem, except that I can access my external SD. I got the problem after upgrading to Darkys Rom 9.3 the usual way, but switched from Speedmod to Voodoo. After that update, my USB didn't work anymore.
I can't get neither Xp or Win 7 to recognize my phone. USB device not recognized, and tried all the tricks. Reinstalling Kies and drivers, switching between the different modes (storage, kies media, ask, debug...) But still no USB connection.
I updated to darkys 9.5 (transferring the rom using bluetooth, and updating using CWM), but still it doesn't work.
Can get it into download mode, but still can't connect using USB and Odin.
HELP!
Did anybody ever find a solution for this?
European version of I9000, bought in Denmark. No Simlock

Same thing here after installing JV1 + Ultibread Rom 1.4... Still no solution

*shameless push*
Any solution here? I dont have that problem, but it sounds too scary to not have a working solution :S

Same prob here! Any news?

Any solution? I have the same problem.

But if you are in download mode on your fone you'd rather should have a look at your configuration on the computer. Because the fone still can be flashed if the symbol for download still appears.
- Kies is shut down while ODIN is active?
- latest Samsung USB driver installed?
- Odin started with Admin?
Btw. did you try to get into recovery mode? Maybe this also still is working as the partition is quite small and chance high that it was flashed w/o faults. So you may be able to flash a zipped ROM rather than a tarball for Odin.

USB Not working when Phone plugged in... try these..
Unplug Device from PC..
Windows go to Device Manager...
Scroll down to Universal serial bus Controllers
Start with the top one and work your way down ..uninstall them all..
When done reboot Computer and let it install them all.. then try again
2.Settings --> USB Setings (under wireless & network may differ depending on Rom used) --> Try other settings Mass storage
3.Different USB ports on PC
4.Uninstall KIES from PC (reboot PC to take effect) and Reboot and just install samsung USB drivers....
5.Using windows type in msconfig in Start>Run box... windows will pop up and untick KIES from STARTUP TAB
Apply to take effect and restart machine.. try using ODIN to Flash ROM
I myself only use the Samsung USB drivers and ODIN never use KIES
or ...Check my signature and try SD formatter

[Q] Phone not booting - ODIN no longer connecting either

Ok, so here's what happened :
I was using stock gingerbread rom installed through KIES, wanted ROOT so I could run FaceNiff. My friend installed a custom kernel for me (as far as I understood) using ODIN. This worked as expected. Anyway, I now needed CM7 installed so followed the wiki. It said I should install Clockwork mod. Step 1 was 'use Heimdal to install 'zImage-i9000'. I did that ...
Now when I reboot all I get is the first 'Galaxy S gt-i9000' bootscreen, not even the big 'S' is coming up anymore.
I can get to the 'download mode', but no app on my PC seems to connect to it anymore (ODIN, Heimdal, KIES). I do hear the USB 'budung' sound, and am using the same PC, cable etc as earlier tonight when ODIN connected just fine.
I could really use some help here ... My friend said one time as long as you can get to download mode you can always recover. But now my PC wont connect to that so I'm stumped as to what to do next.

try reinstalling the usb drivers of the phone...

awesome .. that fixed it.
uninstalled samsung usb composite driver from device manager, reconnect phone (in download mode) to reinstall driver.

[Q] Galaxy S soft brick(?) + USB failure(?) problem

Hi,
I was using F1 V6 ROM on JVK for some time (flashed it with no problems using Odin and Clockwork). After some time, it started to crash more often. I triend V7 but it was even worse so I got back to V6. The only problem was often restarts and sometimes slow operation.
Yesterday I decided to switch to Cyanogen to give it a try. I did it without flashing from scratch. I just used Cyanogen 7.1 installation through Clockwork. It seemed OK untill I tried to connect my phone to PC via USB. I couldn't get any response from PC (not even a sound indicating that something was connected to USB) or Phone (no mount USB screen).
So I was able to charge my phone through USB but not to connect it to PC (tried 2 PCs, different cables, different ports). It doesn't seem like driver problem (no sign of connecting phone to PC, nothing).
I thought that it might be some problem with Cyanogen ROM. So I tried to go back to F1 V6 (wipe) through Clockwork. After doing it, I got boot loop but still showing the logo of Cyanogen (not SGSII from F1). Having no USB connection and being unable to start the phone, I tried to do recovery (I had a backup of F1 V6 from the moment before installing Cyanogen. That didn't go well either. The process stopped and left me with Samsung Galaxy S logo (no boot loop - just hanging there). I cant get into recovery mode anymore. I can only get to download mode.
So the status right now is:
Download mode - OK
USB - can't get phone to connect with PC (no signs of connection so probably not a driver problem but maybe? I tried reinstalling kies, drivers, running Odin, no sign of connected phone, USBDeview shows no Samsung or Kies or Android drivers in my system right now).
Hanging on the Samsung Galaxy S screen.
Did anyone had similar situation?
What do you advice? Any idea on a atest checking if USB hardware is fine?
Was it possible to break USB hardware or driver in phone by installing Cyanogen 7.1 on F1 V6 SGS2?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Cyanogen uses a different file system, so to get it back to a Sammy ROM you need to flash it with Odin. and cyanogen doesn't use the Sammy driver for connecting to the PC. download nexus s drivers from the Android SDK and install it.

OK, so how do I install these drivers when my PC can't see that I have my phone connected to USB port? There is no driver error. After connection nothing happens.
Is there a way to install these drivers on Windows 7 without actually having sgs listed on device list?
any help with that?

Get your phone into download mode (volume down + home + power) and see if windows lists it then.

Reflash the CM7 Rom, and see if it shows up in device manager. Do you get an option on CM to share disc drives with usb plugged to the computer?
Oh, and if you have KIES installed, try remove it and remove the driver pack too (i know it affects ODIN's ability to see the phone).

Solved
Thanks for help.
I got different cable (third) and different (third) PC and somehow it worked - PC noticed connection of SGS in download mode and than it was easy.
I installed clean JVT, than CF-Root and CM 7.1 + google apps.
It seems to work fine for now.
Please close this thread.
Cheers

Cant root, connect to Odin

Hi Guys,
i got a huge Problem with my GT - 9305.
I already saved my IMEI etc and now i want to root my phone but I got a problem.
I done everything said in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32235061&postcount=1 BUT:
Everytime I go in downloade mode and want to start Odin this happens ( see attachments )
My Phone wont reboot while I press start, it still says: Downloading ... and nothing happens.
I have installed latest Kies + Drivers, sometimes Kies find the GT-9305 and sometimes not, then i have to reinstall the Drivers.
I have selected MTP + ADB
Android 4.1.1
XXALI7
Buildnummer: JRO03C.I9305XXALI7

make sure Kies is not running when you do it

Root your phone with One Click
Hey, I've got an unlocked i9305 with Optus in Australia.
I rooted my i9305 weeks ago, just a simple software with one click, nothing to do with Odin.
I don't know why there's hardly such tool in the xda and many english-based forum, try this link:
http://sj.qq.com/root [Probably you don't understand Chinese language, google-translate the webpage]
Things you need to do:
1.A Windows-based PC
2.Download the tool from the link
3.Have kies installed (Or you can install the phone driver alone)
4.Enable usb-debug in development option on your i9305
5.BACK UP!
6.Connect your phone with a cable to your PC
7.Use the tool, ONE Click, root your phone successfully
8.After rooting you'll probably find a superuser app in Chinese, don't worry
9.Go downloading the Superuser app in play-store, it can help you to switch to the new SU app.
10.Done!

I understand from the text you do not have the pc .. samsung drivers.... Install the samsung kies...Turn on samsung kies and connect phone ...... looks drivers.....then flash through odin

i did it. But nothing. My mini it's blocked.

are you able to boot into recovery? (vol up + home + power)

When Try with "Odin"... So If doesn't find a Smartphone... You must Install "Samsung USB Drivers" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555...
When If you have a Bricked Smartphone... When you can try My Method -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49256764&postcount=9 (That's works and Most Important without "NAND Erase all")
When How do you had a Stock Firmware... [When It's a depend for a Safe-Return Back if you Forget to delete data/cache/darvik]
When If you want to download stock ROM That's must be included with .zip [.md5 with ~470mb (ROM with Stock Recovery)] - I Have a Stock ROM for Backup [Actually...] And That's works...

If you can boot to Download mode, it's good enough.
In Windows, from Control Panel, Admin Tools, Device Manager: with the phone plugged in, you should be able to detect it.
It'll have a problem icon (A little yellow triangle with '!'); with right click, choose to uninstall driver then plug out.
When pluggin the phone in, Windows will reinstall the drivers.
At least, it should.
