I need stock 2.1 for Captivate

I can get into download mode, recovery mode etc. but since froyo update and one click root/sideloader - no computer recognizes the phone...
no beep - on the pc, no trying to install drivers... it's like its not there, but captivate beeps and knows usb cord is in...
What up? I want to go back to 2.1
Is there another way - like copying the 2.1 files to a micro sd and moving to the root and doing a restore or something?
Help - got to take phone back!

Read the OP in its entirety. You may be able to get by just loading the drivers, but if that fails, you can flash back to stock 2.1 with Odin using the instructions he's listed.

Odin requires connectivity. Drivers installed and worked when I flashed 2.2 - but now its like the phone is not there at all.

Just to cover the bases... are you using the usb cord that came with the phone? I've found that my Captivate won't be recognized if I connect with my wife's HTC cord.

Do you have the SDK tools? If so run and ADB devices command from a command line and let us know if the device shows up.
Reboot the phone and pc before doing this. Make sure the phone is in USB debugging mode also.

isn't there a way to just get the .pkg or update.zip or something that you can put on the micro sd card?
can you flash roms from the card? internal or external?

my samsung cord stopped working 2 weeks after i got the phone, i use my nexus one cord, and while im here at my moms ive been using her bb torch cord, both work perfect.

also a quick note....make sure you don't have any other usb storage devices plugged into your computer....i noticed i would occasionally have this issue if another usb external was plugged in....try another computer also to see if it reads

If i am not mistaken there is not a way to return to stock without being connected to a pc. It is odd that no pc will see the phone. Really sounds like a driver issue. Could also be the cord as it has been seen in a few cases that nothing short of the stock cable works, have not had that issue myself but have had no pc see the phone and it turned out to be that I didnt have debugging mode checked and had to reinstall the drivers but then had no issuses.

I ran into this moving from one rom to another. What made it finally work was after selecting your usb mode after the cable is plugged in, I dragged down the notifications and one was click here to mount phone. After I did that it connected up just fine. I was starting to panic as at that point I was on stock eclair, z4root was not findable in the market and it wouldn't let me sideload it from my external sd card. Actually I still had to copy the root.zip from one click root onto my internal and rename it update.zip (essentially what one click root does) and boot into recovery and apply it. Once it was rooted, I was out of the forest, but got nervous.

[Q] Samsung S2 not recognized - USB Device Not Recognized Error

I believe the source of the problem to be a faulty install of ICS plus a later rooting, as the phone would intermittently go from Android Phone to Unable to Recognize USB Device, to just not being able to recognize the phone. I've uninstalled KIES along with the drivers and installed them back again to no avail. Can anyone help? Is it possible to flash the phone with a working Android version without using the computer - through the SD card?

I'm having a similar problem seems to be very intermittent and random.
Try plugging it into a friends laptop, mine got recognised that way.
Then either download a rom and chuck it on the card that way or we shall see.
I got it fully working, absolutely perfectly an hour or so ago. Came back to it now and tried to plug it in and no response...

Phone wont load USB storage (recovery)

Hello... yesterday I got a galaxy S and I wanted to change ROM.
For some reason I dont know what I did wrong when installing, at the moment my phone has a problem

I tried ADB with no success because of an error, I'm totally ****ed and I have no clue what to do. Even when I open ODIN it doesn't recognize my phone so I cant find it from PC... what should I do waiting for help thank you !

[Q] Cannot connect to PC

I have tried every driver that I can find and have not been able to connect to my PC, Windows 7 x64. It just doesn't do anything but charge when I connect. I was able to upgrade to Honeycomb by way of my external SD card but can't root or install recovery without fastboot.
Any suggestions?

Hi are you trying to set up fastboot or just transfer media?

Fastboot, I would like to root my Streak. I have had android devices for years now and never had this much trouble getting something to connect.

when i did mine i got the drivers off here put them in a folder on my desk top. then put my streak into fastboot mode, connected my streak to the pc let it come up with un recognized and went into device manager and searched for drivers manually. i would say use you tube if you are having difficulty there are some good tutorials on there.
is it showing up as an unrecognized device?

It won't show up at all. Even doing it that way that Streak says something about waiting for fastboot protocls. I have had five Droids and rooted and installed cutom roms on all of them but I've never seen anything like this.

That means it's in Fastboot waiting for a cmmand, etc. Do you get an audio sound when you plug it into your PC? Plus no "Unknown?" device in the manager also might mean a bad cord/port.

on start menu right click my computer click manage then device manager. if you havent set up your fast boot it will show up on there with a yellow triangle.

I get no response whatsoever out of my pc but the Streak is charging of the usb. Think it is the cable?
After looking, I think it may be the connector on the Streak. The pins and board there look damaged but it is charging fine. Is there a way to root without a pc connection?

Looks like you've found your problem. Not sure as normally you need a custom recovery installed with a PC connection first then install Superuser7 from that recovery.

Phone storage doesnt show up in windows

Ive had this issue for a few weeks now and its finally got my attention because i cant load any custom roms into storage.
Whenever i plug my phone into a computer, it will charge fine, but wont connect and show storage. It doesnt show up in device manager and usb debugging doesnt activate. Im using windows 8 and i did notice an error pop up telling me that the usb device is not recognized and has malfunctioned.
Oh, and im running ARHD 12.1

did you install the htc drivers correctly on your computer?

yeah. i had everything working fine for months before. im checking to see if its an issue with the rom. i think it first started after i installed the version that im on.

If you plug your phone in via USB, to see the internal memory, your phone needs to be unloacked. Will will come up with a warning on the the phone.
Steve

Im starting to think this is a hardware problem.
I reverted to stock and the issue is still there. Im now noticing that it shows up in device manager occasionally as an unknown device. It appears to connect and disconnect over and over on its own. Sometimes it will stay connected for a few minutes and i would try to update the drivers manually but it would say no drivers found. Windows also reports that "my device may have malfunctioned". I know that all my storage is still in tact though, so i guess its just something wrong with the usb controller?
Thank goodness for wifi file transfer or i'd have no access to my storage. But im concerned that i may be stuck if i ever need to adb or fastboot...crap!
