I am just trying to figure out if I totally bricked my phone or not. I can only get in to download mode using the removed battery and usb cable trick. Odin sometimes starts to work and then other times it fails at file recognition. my Windows 7 64 bit laptop recognized it only sometimes, mostly device unrecognized. My Windows 7 64 desktop never recognized it (front or back ports).
Can one think of a trick to reboot the system that I have not tried?
I cannot get anything other than a blank screen or download mode.
I don't have a different USB cable to try, but I think I will buy one since my factory one has small bit of damage to it.
I have tried drivers from Samsung and from a few different
These are very hard to brick, so I kinda doubt that you have. At least not to the point that it cannot be fixed
I bricked my captivate yesterday and was having similar issues that you were. There are two things I recommend trying..
1) Use a different USB cable, NOT the one that came with the phone. I tried 4 times to use Odin3 to restore using the Samsung cable and it failed every time. I pulled out a Motorola cable that I had laying around and it worked perfectly.
2) Make sure that you are using the Samsung drivers and not the ones that Windows 7 installs automatically. You can find the correct drivers on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Let me know if that helps you at all.
If you had it come stock with eclair (2.1) then use designgears odin one click to stock. Then reinstall drivers from that thread it can be found in dev section...!!!! ONLY USE IF CAME STOCK WITH ECLAIR!!!!

USB Cable
Yep it was the USB cable. I bought a cable from Radio Shack worked by the 3rd try. Thanks!!!
I had tried for 6 hours with the old cable and got nowhere.

So I've been reading threw the forums on EVERY phone not just the Captivate on how to get my phone recognized on my computer when I'm in debugging mode/download mode nothing works. I haven't even ROOTED my phone which is why I was trying to get my phone to connect in the first place but I can't even get this far. Maybe rooting just wasn't meant for me.
ANY help will be greatly appreciated whether it be links to something you think I may have missed or actual information regarding this issue.
Either way, Thank you in advance, and happy holidays.
Also more info on what I've tried already, Re-installing drivers, restarting, trying different USB ports.
I'm willing to go back threw these steps if they are different from the ones I have tried before, hell I'll be willing to go back and try it again even if I have done it if it seems to have worked for you or someone else.
Did u see this thread ?... Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help
Yes and although that didn't work, I have gotten my phone to connect to my computer... its just not staying connected...
Does it disconnect when the phone screen turns off? Or is it mostly random?
Bad cable maybe?
Are you using the USB port on the motherboard and not an auxiliary port?
Same issue for me as well. I'm using only ports attached to the mobo. I've tried 4 different known good cables and 3 different machines using the connection troubleshooting tips posted and still nothing. My phone will charge and with go into download mode but only with a jig. I have tried on windows 7 32 bit, 64 bit and windows XP. Also tried out osx with heimdall but still no dice.

Time to boot up the Linux machine. Google wubi installer.
tried again today on a fresh ubuntu install and it cannot detect the device. In Windows I always get unkown device error and now in Linux it just plain doesn't see that a device is attached. I know that the majority of the usb pins on the micro connector must be good because my jog successfully gets it into download mode and I can charge it fine and also getting "unknown device" error constantly. I am at my wits end with it. I took it apart to check the condition of the usb connector and there doesn't appear to be any damage or bad solder joints at all. Just bizarre and extremely frustrating!

What?i never did that and Ubuntu sees both my phones, regardless of the firmware on them. I would think, at most, he might need to install libusb-1 (or something like that).
Op, have you tried a new cable?

I will try that as well just so I have using my linux box as an option but I finally did get all of my computers to detect the phone with any of my 4 cables. I got desperate and took apart the phone to see if there were any visible issues with the USB port. It looked as though there was lint or grease between couple of the pins to the board on the USB port so I took a toothbrush and some rubbing alcohol and cleaned it up. I let it dry and reassembled the phone and then much to my delight it was detected! I promptly got it into download mode and flashed back to a rooted stock 2.3.5 with GB bootloader and CWM boog kernel. Phone is so much smoother than it was with 2.1
hey guys i have a usb connection problem with my galaxy note.. whenever i connect my phone to my pc the usb connection icon doesnt appear neither any message shows up on the pc, the only thing it does is charge the phone , i even used differnt usb , tried reflashing the rom , thoough im using a custom rom , but no success, but there is one thing when i phone is connected to the pc and during that interval i restart the phone a message appears on the pc at the boot screen ...unrecocnized device connected, as soon as phone proceeds it too disappears.....if you guys know anything about this kindly help me out.....i have to pull my sd card every time i need to put something in my phone
It's possibly due to condensation on micro USB port of your mobile. Try cleaning it with rubbing alcohol and keeping your phone under the sun or in dehumidifier.

abhjit could be right but if you check on all custom rom threads people are having problems with usb connection
the latest ics releases of samsung ( even JB i believe, not sure tho ) have this problem plus full root problem,

Just clean it as is. You might be able to see the problem, but you will need a good magnifying glass or loop to see it.
I took some photos I found on the web of a dirty port and colored in the contamination I found on mine.

I have the exact same problem. My device doesn't get recognised by windows 7. It doesn't ask me if I want to use the phone as a pendrive. When plugged in, it only charges the phone. Sometimes the phone does not even realise that it has been plugged in at all. I dont think that its a problem with the pins because I have tried using an OTG and been able to connect to an external hard drive and copy files. Also I have been able to use PC Odin and flash a stock rom using a usb cable. This makes me think that all the pins are fine, and that its a software problem. Something has got glitched and not getting un-glitched lol!
Current Rom is the here

one thing you can try.. is to completely uninstall KIES off and remove all samsung usb drivers off your computer. When I say completely uninstall Kies, I mean totally removing it, from your system registry files and including Samsung folders that you can find in Program files or in program files x86..
After that, restart your computer and reinstall Kies and/or all samsung adb /usb drivers again.
Don't forget as well to plug your usb cable at the back of your PC since mostly USB ports coming from the back of it has strong usb signals than the ones at the front.
Hope this helps.
Don't forget to hit me up a 'Thank' if I've helped you some way or the other.
Cheers!

isolate the issue first...get another usb cable, and if you have another computer (aside from the one your normally using at), try to plug your phone on that computer and see if that pc will detect your phone.
If not still, then that's the time you can already consider that your phone might be the one having the issue.

Well I guess, that would prove the point that it could be your phone that might be having the issue bud. After all, you tried different options already but still came up with the same issue.
I'd suggest you may need to take your phone to SSC and have them check it.
thank you all for your support friends ...i have been able to repair it...i opened the cell phone thoroughly cleaned the usb module and reattached the connection cables after detaching and voila...thank God... :laugh:

thank you friend for your help...:cyclops:
So this seems to be the same problem lot of people are facing and solving it by various means... Here is a list of things I have tried, but still not working -
1. connect to PC after selecting "connect to pc" in settings > more > usb connection
2. revert to stock rom and stock kernel using mobile odin and try to do (1)
3. restore nandroid from 2 months ago when it was working
4. cleaning with qtip (dry)
5. tried usb switcher app
6. tried newest jb 4.1.2 from eyebee's thread.
Any thing that I left out other than service center?
Usb Fix
I fixed two other Notes and a SII by this simple method:
Look into the microusb connector on your phone, and see if the pin in the middle is centered. If not, bend it straight (Carefully!).
Yes, I know it sounds stupid, but it seems people just slam the usb connector into the slot, bending it down... This causes the phone to charge but not to see the usb connection.
Hope this helps.

By default its placed a bit down and forcefully bending it may damage the usb port and then you cant even charge it

Hmm.. Something new you taught me, but didn't work.. Am I supposed to go "into" that mount usb storage screen and connect after I am in that "if you leave this page, we'll unmount" screen or before entering that screen?
Edit -
Never mind, tried both, both failed to work. I assume if it was working, I would have heard a beep from my laptop at least.. It didn't find any new device in both cases.
try using new cable. or borrow your friend's cable see if its working. its the basic to check thing but many forgotten.

Tried in office today.. No cable works... Tried 3 cables, one aftermarket one, one is of note's, one from nokia 5800 xpress music...
Didn't workout. All charges. No storage
you installed stock rom.. but didnt work..... so then it is not the firmware
you tried diff cable....but didnt work.. so then it is not the cable.
so then it must be your phone..
can it connect to mtp?
this may sound funny but it worked for me. take out the battery and the sd card. leave it out for a couple minutes. then reboot

You might be on to something here - It says Charging (USB) even if connected to wall socket! Should it say (AC)?

yes I am. even though the phone when normally booted won't be recognized by pc, but when in download mode, it usually does as I have had the same problem but that happens to me since I enabled the mass storage mode and then neither worked. mtp or mass storage.

I have the same problem here with my n7000.
Its happened after flashing ics roms. N7000's have some kind of faulty chips which causes emmc brick bug. But the issue we're having is a USB Brick.
Flashed many kernels & roms etc. but still no signs of life :crying:
Different cables & pcs, no luck..
As we are able to use mobile odin only, i flashed stock GB and sent for warranty. I always avoided to trigger binary counter so it was easy for me.
However, results were disappointing. Technician guy said that usb port is working and there is connection between both devices but something blocks usb connection. There were some unremovable files which shouldnt be there and they couldnt delete it as the section was read only accessible.
ADB isnt functioning too..
I guess the only possible way is to find a tech guy capable of replacing emmc to solve the issue from source..
Please let me know if there are any updates from your side.

I've been working with another member on this issue. Go here and read through my suggestions and see if one helps. The first thing I would try, is to uninstall sync manager and all drivers for the phone from your pc. Then, connect the phone and see if it reinstalls sync and the drivers. I hope this helps.
