Tried connecting my kaiser to 2 different pc's and it won't get detected. The device will charge but activesync won't pick it up. Also its not listed in device manager! I tried disabling/renabling advanced network functionality as well has soft reset the device several times. I'm on the verge of hard reseting BUT when i put my device in bootloader mode it only says serial.. will not say USB as its supposed to
any help would be appreciated.. i'm on death v4 rom btw.
thanks in advance!

Can you get an activesync connection via Bluetooth? When you inspect the extUSB connection can you see anything which looks wrong (such as a wire sticking out/in more than the others? What happened preceding this problem?
If you hard reset the device I don't see the relevance of the bootloader. It'll just restore the original image from where it's tucked away in the devices ROM. If it was working fine straight after you installed the ROM thats on it now and doesn't work after a hard restore then that points towards a hardware failure. If you have to go down the path of restoring to a different (original) ROM for returning purposes, there are ways of doing this with a microSD card - although I've not tried. I think the wiki would help there.
bluetooth activesync is working, i did a hard reset and nothing. Flashed to romeos via microsd and now its acting all strange.
After it completed the flash from microsd, i soft reset the device and it rebooted backinto bootloader.. i removed the microsd and soft reset several times and it kept going to bootloader. I attempted to hard reset as well and same thing, would go to bootloader. Removed the battery for a couple minutes and still same thing. Plugged it into USB with it off and it turn on by itself and go straight to bootloader. Unplugged the USB cable, took out the battery and put it back in, then plug the USB cable back in and this time the orange light came on as if charging and it finally booted up. The above has happened to me previously on my hermes but that was when the battery was extremely low, my battery level is currently at 97%!
now its booted into the freshly flashed rom and still same thing... charging but not being recognized by the PC... i've checked the usb port on the device and everything looks fine.
I'm lost at what to do now....
This might be a stupid reply but I had the same problem. My cable was busted so you could try another cable.
I am in the same situation here
Tried it with 3 different PCs with 3 different cables.
It's charging, Active sync pickes it up and trying to connect but fails to connect.
The only think I can come up with, I used new charger in the car. May be it killed the port
Is there any way to find out for sure?
i tried 2 cables with 2 different pcs... its only charging it and the computer won't detect the device at all. Nothing under usb in device manager.. even in bootloader, it only says serial not usb. I've downgraded to a shipped AT&T rom and Radio through the storage card but i still need to downgrade the SPL before i attempt to get a warranty exchange. IS that possible to do with through microsd yet?
I'm having the same issue. The usb port charges the phone fine with the USB cable, but teh computer does not detect the device. I also tried the headphones and they work fine as well. Help!
Update: I just tried a different usb cable, and now the computer recognizes the device, but as an unknown device.!!!!!

Thanks for that suggestion but still no dice
The computer isn't detecting the device at all! Usually when a usb device is plugged in you can go to device manager and look under USB and see it there, but its not showing up. I've scanned for hardware changes several times and nothing.
I've now tried on 3 different computers (2 pc's and 1 mac) with 2 different USB-MiniUSB cables and nothing!!
i guess i'll just go to the at&t device support center tomorrow and hope they'll replace it on the spot and notice that i've changed the SPL...
can i ask for the people that are having this problem to do the following.
With your device unplugged from the PC open device manager. (Right click My Computer -> Properties -> Hardware (3rd tab) -> Device manager) Then expand the last tab (Universal Serial Bus Controller) and plug in your device.. if it doesn't show up then click actions -> scan for hardware changes..
I just want to make sure if your computer is detecting your device or not..
just an update with my situation. i went into the att device service center today and told them my problem... the guy behind the counter had no clue what he was doing. he just looked at it like a monkey for minutes then swapped it out for a new one. no questions asked even though it was hard spl'd, cid unlocked, and sim unlocked.
but now this device's vibration is really weak and i lost my invsishield protection on the front (kept the battery cover and my ppctechs scren protector)
Busted? or just won't work
Hi all,
I have been coming to these forums for a little while and only posted a couple of times. I felt this was important. I was having the same problem. Tried the cables, resets, ROM changes the works. I have had my at&t tilt htc 8925 for 36 days when I reported the problem to them. But it actually started about 10 days before. At&t tech support was very rude and accusatory when it came to them "helping" me. I, like probably all owners of a phone like this treat it like gold. It is very important to me. So when I contacted tech support and was told it was probably abuse or I had "buyers remorse" (I don't want to return the phone I just want it fixed!?)
The best they can do and they do not budge on this is for me to return the phone for an exchange. BUT, and this is a BIG AT&T but, the phone they exchange it with is refurbished. Something someone has returned. I do not want a phone that has been returned. I want mine fixed. "This is my phone, there are many like it but this one is mine" Know what I mean? When I bought the phone the guarantee was "we'll just replace it with a new phone" and I like 1000's of others did not ask if that "new phone" was refurbished. It is. Now advocates will tell you as they did me, refurbished is actually BETTER than new. Huh? Then why aren't all phones sold refurbished ones? And if they are so great, take mine back, give me one of those "crappy" new phones and give mine to someone who wants a sweet refurb. I am outraged by the whole mess.
I have searched forums and complaint sites. The bad usb port problem is NOT an isolated incident. There are a lot of people with the same "it charges but won't sync" problem. This is a known problem they refuse to address. Their stand, send in for refurb.
Personally I would like to see a recall fix class action against at&t. It can be fixed but they just don't want too. I thought I would be relatively safe buying for a huge company. They spend millions on advertising to simply leave their customers twisting in the wind after 30 days. Very bad business.
That's the rant. So I decided that if the warranty was useless anyway I'd take a shot at it myself before sending out for repair myself. There is a place in California PPC Tech http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main.asp?area=home that will fix the usb for $79 and ship it back to you in a few days. They seem to be reputable and a lot of people are opting to fix this problem themselves.
How did I fix mine? by altering the mini usb end of the sync cable. I tried other cables and connectors but I think it has something to do with the contact points. The only way mine would work was if I plugged it in, wiggled it slowly and with a little bit of pressure at times, around until the screen brightens. That means it has made a connection, then don't move. Hold very still. It took both my hands. Wait for what seems like 2 mins and it would start to sync. Based on this. my repair (before I send it to California for repair, which I may end up doing anyway) is make sure the plug on the phone is straight and not damaged. If you can get the phone to sync this way you may be able to crimp the mini end of the usb very very slightly to make the connection you are manually doing by wiggling it around. It took a lot of small tweaking but it now syncs about 29 out of 30 times. That's about as good as it gets.
So good luck to us all. If you can't get it to work yourself send it out west to PPC Tech. In this economy the phone companies like at&t better start getting their customer service back on track before they have no customers to service, It has happened to the biggest before. Wake up AT&T! The days of the business model of massive turnover and new signups is coming to an end as people tighten their belts. Treating current and future users poorly is a sure fire way to put yourself out of business.
here is my gift to you all..

read this post and check EVERY SINGLE LINK in the first post...i had this issue and i ended bending my usb plug every which way until finally i broke the plastic seperator off and in turn smashing the second pin from the left on the top off (the one in charge of activesync) over and over until it broke...i didnt really care i could still flash by sd but then i smashed the + power pin and so i was on the phone with att for many many hours explaining to them that its a known issue to users but not to the company and they finally sent me a replacement..i should have just searched my butt off before trying to deal with a problem/fox it myself (yes i dissasembled it and soldered the pin back on and it broke off multiple times causing me to dissasemble it many many times and smashing it again and i ended up getting alcohol on the water damage void pad which i replaced) learn from me...if you ever have ANY problems that are significant..dont try fixing JUST GET A REPLACEMENT...who cares if its a refurb..if the refurb sucks then send it back until they send you a new kit...after 5 returns you get a new kit soo just keep sendin back them refurbs until your happy
oh and to make it easy on yourself because if you tell att you have a usb problem its NOT covered under warranty and will take you many many hours like me to convince them otherwise (which someone eventually will understand because certain people ARE familiar with this problem at ATT it just depends who you get and how many times youve been elevated in support)..what you need to do is IF YOU CAN return your spl back to stock (if you manage to get a long enough connection with activesync) but if not dont worry too much att doesnt really check spl just that you have the shipped rom on there so load the shipped rom (found on here) on your sd and flash back and just make up some excuse that it isnt working right and youl get a replacement or if you can get the spl revrted jus throw your device in bootloader by a failed flash (pull the usb out during flash) and say its stuck in the funny colored screen lol
jaysjob, i've been dealing with ppctechs for a long time (probably since '03-'04) they're very reputable and highly recommended. They actually got the contract to be the authorized repair center for I-Mate about a year ago.
But why would you pay $79 for something where u can get a complete replacement? Yah it might be a refurb but my device that i turned in was all scratched up from drops.. the images on the start, ie, and messaging buttons by the d-pad had scratched off.. and now the device i got looks brand new (i actually think it is a new one but i never asked if it was a refurb or not)
pazookie, what your saying is true.. always take advantage of the warranty if you have it. If you dont and you want to repair it yourself, know what your doing! I'm very handy and have done many lcd replacements and other various repairs on cellphones (nokias, HTCs, sony ericsson, samsung, motorola, u name it!)
My little brother has the n82 and he bought the black case, I told him to wait for me and i'd help him do it but he got impatient and he thought it was gonna be a simple swap. He ended up breaking his LCD doing it which set him back $80!
anyways i'm happy now with a new device but i'm gonna go back tomorrow and get it replaced again because the vibrate is extremely weak!

Hi fone
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I agree with you. If the phone has something else that is messed up like you were saying a scratched screen or buttons. It's just that I am as careful as I can be to keep the phone in nice condition just to send it back for maybe one that someone didn't take the same care of.
Mine works good now. I think it has something to do with when I crimped the cable end. It make a tighter fit. I think that may be the key to mine and others problems. For sure it is becoming more and more clear that there is a design flaw whether att wants to acknowledge it or not.
Thanks for your input about PPC too. If I do end up having to fix it that's probably the way I'll go if that is still the only thing wrong. Otherwise it's in for the warranty as you suggested. I KNOW I'm not that smart.
Im having this same issue and it is definately not a cable problem.

if u think its a hardware problem then take it to a service center. The guys there just follow step by step guides on how to diagnose phone issues. For me he saw a crack in the usb jack on my device and just replaced it. If you send it in to HTC i think theres a higher risk of them figuring outu the device is hard spl'd and wont honor your warranty.

taylor, I'm not saying it is a cable problem. I am saying it is a hardware port problem. I "fixed" mine, probably temporarily, by crimping my usb cord so that it holds more firmly in the port. I did say if you have the same problem and you use the same test I did ie: move it slightly, Gently, not like others I have heard stories of where they ram it from side to side until it snaps off, that you might be able to do what I did. I thought others with the same problem might be able to use this workaround until at&t figures out it is not an isolated incident with thousands of people having the same problem thats all. Hope this helps.

I had a similar problem. Phone would charge fine, but windows didnt even recognise anything was plugged in. Interestingly the bootloader changed to USB when the cable was connected, and Serial when unplugged.
As it turns out (thanks Flying Kiwi for suggesting the obvious I had overlooked) the middle top pin was recessed too much into the plastic guide, so I stabbed it a bit with a scapel and all is well.
So it seems that the Serial/USB section of the bootloader cant even be trusted.
I've recently soft bricked my phone from an odin3 fail and have attempted every download mode button combo I could find after searching the forum for a couple days now...
The thing is I tried to run odin and upon rebooting the phone it wouldn't load anything past the 'world phone' screen or the battery screen when plugged in.
Tried everything: button combos for download mode, made a 300k jig (thinking about making a 301k jig), and more endless button combos to force a download mode.
I've just about given up and wish to exchange my phone for another one from wal-mart.
I've only had the phone for two weeks and am still within the 30-day return date.
**********************************************************
STRAIGHT TO THE POINT:
Will they accept my phone for an exchange even tho it's been rooted and the warranty has been 'voided'?
**********************************************************
Also I've attemped to unlock the phone (but didn't) cuz i couldn't get a hold of another carrier's sim card but i downloaded the app and got the unlock code for my phone which i'm still sure voided the warrenty anyway.
just another reason i think it would hinder my exchanging the phone w/o being charged $300 for a brand new captivate
You'll probably get a replacement phone right away since AT&T DSCs don't check for root when they issue a replacement. However, phones do get sent back to Samsung and I've read stores about people getting charged on their AT&T bill months later because their phone's warranty was voided due to root/ROM flashing.
I honestly think there's something wrong with your JIG. If you are seeing the World Phone screen, that's always been sign for me that a JIG could get a phone into DL mode. If you're using the instructions from that .99 cent JIG thread, I wouldn't be surprised if you aren't hitting pins 4&5 for the required length of time, or putting ~300kohm of resistance between the pins. At the very least, I'd recommend you get a MicroUSB plug head to chop up, and attach your resistors to.
if you have a 1008 model you can NOT boot into download mode with buttons! This same thing happened to me when i failed an odin flash and had to return the phone.
They said they never saw the error and gave me a new phone immediately.
1007 model can not be bricked since you can always boot into download mode.

This is something to watch for. If u r returning a phone after messing it up, atleast wipe any info that could inform u r messing. AT&T is courteous enough to give a replacement, but replacements do go to the phone company. And they may not be in a mood to honor 'warranty voided' phones.

I figured that would be the case.
Well i guess that means i'll be spending the next couple days(hopefully not) trying to jig my phone. shaky hands and poor pin visibility aren't usually a plus
Question about jigging
Do i need to take my battery out and put it back in every time i reattempt to jig my phone?

You also don't need to remove battery every time you try to use the JIG. The phone just needs to be off.

Your phone's batch # is on a sticker UNDER the battery. You're looking for 4 digits, like 1006, 1007, 1008, 1010, 1012, etc.

Well after hours of attempting to jig my captivate myself i'm calling it quits and ordering a usbMicro breakout board. I got the idea from:

Im retarted wasnt paying attn, too sleepy.
I flashed the stock pit and tar from an epic onto the cappy and now it wont even turn on. Wont respond to anything.
Cant get it in to download. No life at all,Shes dead captain, kinda thing.
So it started out i was going to flash back to something other than trident/cm7.
Im bought the car dock and was going to use the kernal so the dock would actually work.
Well it was like any other flash ive done countless times.. Till odin preformed an illegal operation and then it dawned on me what i did.. It was still in download but the computer didn't recognize it any longer. So power off and try to go back to dl mode.. the phone wont respond at all. The power button does nothing.. Plugging it in does nothing..
Im pretty sure its dead, thoughts? other than the flamming for being a newb.

Well with the jig it still has to be able to turn on.. I cant get it to even do that
So i dunno.. Thats why im drawing a blank. I would think it would at the very lest be able to get in to dl mode but nothing lol
So you had the 3 button combo working before?
Have you
1 Open Odin one click or the full version to flash what you want
2 plug in the cable to your computer
3 Hold the vol up/down buttons
4 Plug in micro usb to phone?
If that doesn't work try the same process but do this.
1 Open Odin one click or the full version to flash what you want
2 Remove battery from phone
3 Plug phone to computer and hold vol up/down
4 Push battery in
Try those methods if you haven't already. If they don't work a jig might be your best option to get the phone to DL mode.
And a jig seems to work when you really think it wouldn't but try either of these methods first. I was stuck last week when my phone would not power or anything and the second method worked for me.

It sounds dead sir. No idea what ODIN did, but if it's not responding to the power, charger, usb, combo-tricks, etc. It sounds like it's been perma-bricked
If it's still under warranty, it's certainly worth trying to get it replaced... "What the hell is wrong with this phone? It won't turn on anymore?!"

Can still try a jig.
Look up connexion2005 on this site or get in touch with him on mobiletechreview.com you can also look him up on youtube and his rom in a flash videos. Ghats how I got in touch with him when my phone was fubard and 4 days after I shipped it to him I got it back working like new.
Its well worth the effort to get in touch with him. He is a good guy and I'm sure he can help you.

I find it hard to believe since a bad flash killed my battery from 96%. But I'm not there so I can't say otherwise. The homemade jig thing from radioshack did not work for me though. I had to use one that was made by one of the members here. I had it plugged in, popped in the battery, and it fired up. Try a couple different combos and see if you get lucky. If I remember correctly it was like 3 tries for me
Yep, verified she's dead..
I hacked a usb cord, and teseted it on an Epic. worked great for the epic..
but the same method on the cappy and she's still dead no life..
/sad panda
how did you make the jig? i bricked mine not to long ago... i didnt use the 301k resistor that you hear about in other threads... i went to radio shack bought a pack of 100k resistors and a pack of 1k .... i soldered three of the 100k and one of the 1k, end to end... then soldered it to the 4 and 5 pin on the stripped charger plug.... this will work... the firmware/kernal/rom changes you have made shouldnt affect the phones ability to get into download mode....

you dont know what your doing then... if the jig you use from the members worked then you deffinately didnt make urs right.... search these threads there are pictures of what pins to use... you actually dont even have to solder them... just stick the stripped down plug in and touch the ends of the jig to the correct pins... however... do not touch the the actual wires of the jig as it will change the resistance, if that happens it will appear that the jig doesnt work... this is SIMPLE! and if you cant get it to work then youre not following directions, also as he said above.. it doesnt matter that you had 80% before... make sure your battery is charged and try your jig again... that is if you even made one to begin with...

Cut the guy some slack. Unless you know him or work with him, how do you know he hasn't?
Anyway. Look, I had a similar issue with odin. I didn't run it as admin on win7 and it froze about half way. I unplugged and popped the battery, next thing, it wouldn't start. Since I knew my phone wouldn't work with the 3 button, stock, I tried something else. I let the phone sit for about 5 minutes, came back, put in battery, held the volume buttons as I inserted the usb. Snapped right into download mode.
Not everything works for the same device. It could be that your jig has something wrong with it. Just a thought.
But a hint for the community, unless you know the person you are speaking to personally, don't assume he's lazy and hasn't made his jig.

how did you make the jig? i bricked mine not to long ago... i didnt use the 301k resistor that you hear about in other threads... i went to radio shack bought a pack of 100k resistors and a pack of 1k .... i soldered three of the 100k and one of the 1k, end to end... then soldered it to the 4 and 5 pin on the stripped charger plug.... this will work... the firmware/kernal/rom changes you have made shouldnt affect the phones ability to get into download mode....

I exposed the micro usb connector and connected the resistors to the contacts on the board..
Proved that it worked on a epic, booted into dl mode without problem. tried on the cappy and nothing..
Got josh's jig last night. Tried that as well and nothing..
I was trying to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1 using odin3, and the process removed.
So i left it alone for a couple mins and the progress bar hadn't moved. So i unplugged the phone from the usb cable. Now the phone wont boot and wont go into download mode.
Any help would be massively appreciated.
{sry if its the wrong forum, this looked like the correct one}
Anyways thanks guys

Is there any life at all on the phone, anything on the screen or do the buttons light up at all?

I had this same thing done on my phone some time back.....!
since it is not getting into download mode just open odin first then connect your phone,hopefully it recognizes it.!
let us know if it works
There is no life on the phone at all.
Nothing lights up and nothing turns on.
When i plug it into my computer, neither odin nor my computer recognize that a device has been plugged in.
And i already checked the usb cable, works fine on my other phone
Thanks for the replys

well i guess its a hard brick after all.....
here are your options that you can do:
1. You can call up samsung/ ATT and try to get a replacement captivate (data on phone
will be lost)
2. You can send your phone to connexion2005 (mobile tech videos), the have an
unbricking service for 50$
3. You can try Adam Outler's UnBrickable Mod :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206216
Personally, I would take it to AT&T. I dunno how the stores around your area are, but I took it to a warranty center here in Cleveland, and they replaced it after looking at my old one for like 2 minutes. Sure it's a refurb, and it most likely will have a KB2 baseband making things a little trickier, but easiest (and cheapest) method by far.
How do you convince them to do a warranty claim with a bricked phone? Slightly curious. I know of insurance plans that provide more coverage but doesn't flashing the phone in any manner void the warranty on at&t, samsung, or even the insurance warranty?

Yeah im just going to go ahead and take it back to the att store.

UnBrickable Mod is not ready yet. We are working out the details of the communications protocol.
I provide JTAG unbricking service for $30. My method is a bit different then connexion2005. I don't fumble around with wires. I install a header which Samsung skimped out on during manufacturing. The header remains in the phone so it is a simple plug-in operation to reJTAG the phone later if required. This is the proper way of connecting to the JTAG port, through a JTAG header.
My GFs HTC One, for the second time now (two different phones), has gone dead out of nowhere.
The first time she plugged it in and went to bed. All was well with it when it was plugged in. Woke up and nothing worked. No charging lights, nothing. Sent it in for warranty repair and T-Mobile/HTC said that the LCD screen was broke and that it was due to user damage (basically trying to say the phone was dropped, which it wasn't). They sent out a new phone, we sent back the broken one. A week later they charged our bill for the repairs and I had to call in 3 times in order to get them to finally waive those charges.
Now, a few months later, this new phone does the same thing. In the middle of using it, while it had plenty of battery, the screen went black. Same exact thing, would not power back on. Now we are in the process of waiting for the next phone to be shipped so we can ship this one back. And I'm fairly certain that they're going to try and use the same excuse again.
The only response that we get from the phone is when it is plugged into a computer and it asks to install the QHSUSB_DLOAD driver (which does nothing upon trying to install). After searching these forums, and Google, I noticed that everyone with this exact problem was trying to install a custom ROM. That is not the case with us. The OS on the phone's were never altered. The phone's were never unlocked. Nothing like that at all.
I don't really have a question that I'm asking here. From what I've read, it looks like the phone is basically bricked and there's nothing that can fix it. I just wanted to make this post so others know that this can happen to non-rooted phones too.
I'll follow up here once T-Moble/HTC give me the outcome of this second phone.
Exact same problem here.

QHSUSB_DLOAD = hard brick, needs motherboard to be replaced
Had same thing with HTC Sensation. Need to replase the main memory chip where OS stored.
Time for a new girlfriend, not a new phone.
