Hello all, I am turning to the Forums since I have spent 5 hours trying to resolve my problem.
Earlier today I installed Kies Mini on my computer in anticipation of the official AT&T Froyo. However, now my computer no longer recognizes my phone at all. It does not show up in the Device Manager, or anywhere.
I tried Uninstalling Kies Mini, Uninstalling the Drivers, Rebooting my phone. etc, etc. But Windows still will not recognize the phone as attached. It worked in the past and I would like for it to work again.
I am currently running Windows 7 64 bit. My Captivate is running Cog 3.4.
Try this:
Uninstall Kies Mini and all Drivers
Reinstall Kies Mini
Once installed turn on USB debugging on your phone and then plug it in, let it install all of the drivers.
Unplug your phone and shut it down
Once shut down activate download mode (hold up and down volume and plug in the USB) again it will install more drivers.
Once this is done unplug your phone, remove the battery and turn it back on, then restart your computer.
Uninstalled Kies Mini, and Samsung Drivers. Reboot
Installed Kies Mini.
Attached Phone to Computer. Nothing.
Also, Tried to Just boot my phone into Recovery Mode. But only boots into Clockwork Recovery. Can't Log into Stock Recovery
Update: Tried hooking up the phone to my XP machine. No Joy. XP did not recognize the device or try to install drivers.
Did you enable debugging?

Yes, I placed it in Debug mode. When I plug in my Phone my Title Bar Shows the USB Debugging Android indicating that USB Debugging connected, the USB icon that says Copy files to From Computer. If I click on USB, it gives me the Green Connect Android, then the Orange One. But none of my computers recognize a USB device as connected.
I have tried it with Three different cables. I'm thinking that somehow the phone is not sending some message to Windows saying "Hey, I'm connected"
Did you use the correct drivers for the phone? Can't recall of the top of my head if I can use the standard captivate drivers for windows if your on cognition..

I am having this exact same issue - only I updated from JH7 to Official 2.2 (for ****s n giggles) and now pc no longer recognizes phone. Went through the uninstall and reinstall and reboot.... no luck. I've never had this issue before...... ever.
I have tried almost everything i can think of. Anyone have any suggestions?

Not in device manager
I have what appears to be a soft brick. I was running the i9000 drivers. I was trying to install the i897. At first Odin recognized my phone and I began to download. The Odin bootloader flash failed. No my computer (Win 7 64 bit) does not even see my phone. Nothing in device manager, not even an unrecognized device.
I can get my phone into download mode. Does anyone have an idea how I can get windows to see me again?
From my experience as long as you are in download mode and have odin opened up it when you connect it, odin should find the phone no problem for you to be able to flash something new to it.

Have you rebooted the PC? Try to reinstall the drivers again. I had to reinstall the nexus s drivers but I have read some need to reinstall kies to get the drivers to work. Just keep at it. Try other USB ports. My phone wouldn't be recognized for about two weeks with trying everything. I tried new USB cables, drivers and all. Then finally it kind of worked and I went from download mode with a jig to phone!PC and then it took another reboot of the laptop and phone was able to get flashed again via the phone!PC screen. Just keep trying is all I can say.

ok. so I recently started using a different computer, it's windows vista. when I go to download mode, and plug the phone in the computer just says "usb device not recognized". I've got the latest drivers, and tried uninstalling then reinstalling again. any ideas as to what is going on?

Try uninstall again.
Dl usb drivers but dont install. Save them to desktop
Plug in phone
Unknown device pops up, click on message. Click install custom drivers, navigate to where you saved uninstalled drivers are. Select
This has worked for some
CM7
Ok I uninstalled any versions of the drivers, when I plugged in my phone, the computer said unknown device as usual but it is automatically installing an "unknown device" driver. When I went to select the driver manually for it, it told me that there was no need to update and it didn't give me another option.
I should probably mention that originally, the computer recognized my internal sdcard when i mounted it. Now it isn't, and it won't recognize it in any mode.

what rom are you using now? does the driver you installed came from the stock eclair or froyo. I get the same message after flashing from stock to custom roms. I just plug my phone again and the pc automatically searches and installs driver from gt i900 driver. My old PC is running win xp with android sdk manager in it aside from the kies mini it has which already has the samsung drivers which supports stock roms.
definitely wrong drivers...If your computer recognize it in normal mode as in to mount internal sd card, but says unknown device in download mode than try to download USB drivers from somewhere else...
I have noticed this that drivers from samsung website doesnt support the download mode...I have faced this problem...mine would ask for gadget serial..so i use this drivers...http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
Hope this helps
I'm running perception 10.4. I've tried several different download sources, and it doesn't read when I mount the sd card anymore. On my windows 7 computer it worked no matter what rom I had, and I didn't have to change drivers at all. I'll try that link and see what happens
Still won't work...
This happens to me all the time when attempting to flash back to stock. What I do is just keep doing battery pulls and switching usb ports. Eventually, it works!

lol How long will that usually take until it works..
I've tried pulling the battery and switching ports at least 15 times.. nothing happens. windows installs an "unknown driver" automatically, and if I choose the galaxy s drivers for it, it says the driver isn't compatible for my device. It's not even recognizing it's a phone, or a mass storage device, or any other usb device it can be.
Unknown Device
Was this ever resolved? I have the same problem. Unknown Device in Download Mode. ADB works, PC recognizes phone in normal mode.
The phone shows up in Device Manager when in normal mode. If I use ADB to reboot download, the PC immediately drops the phone and displays unknown device in device manager.
Have tried complete uninstall/reinstall of drivers including regedit. NO JOY.
Running XP SP3. Any ideas?
after upgrading to gingerbread my pc thinks it is an i9000.
try those drivers.
i have no issues though.
I have a Samsung Captivate and its running cyanogenmod 7. I notice the bad battery life so i want to flash back to stock. I usually use odin but with this rom odin is not recognizing the phone. I put my phone in download mode and gadget serial pops up at the bottom and thats it. Now my phone isnt getting past the att logo. idk what to do for odin to recognize my phone. I have all the captivate drivers. Does it has something to do that my phone thinks its a nexsus S now.
PLEASE HELP
Yes your missing the correct drivers. Check for AOSP or Google usb drivers. CM7 is not based on the SGH-i897 so the drivers wont recognize your phone.
where can i find that. i think i did all of that. today i downloaded android sdk and something google revision 4.some site told me to do that but nothing working. my phone is stuck at the att logo, wont go in recovery, and odin wnt recognize the phone in download mode. idk what to do !

First, uninstall all the captivate-related USB drivers you currently have installed (best to start clean), and reboot your computer.
Then, try doing the instructions on this page. Once you have those drivers installed, reboot your computer and then hook your phone up again. That should (in theory) get you going.
my phone only going in download mode. i tried all that. every time i connect the phone in download mode it says gadget serial

Just install SDK and you will have the drivers. CM7 is based of Nexus S, SKD has those drivers.
then ill be able to use odin ?
I think I have the same problem now..Odin not recognizing my phone..
Tried different cables and different computers with no luck..
Did you guys find a way to fix it?
I am currently getting error: device not found
i am on a windows 7 64bit pc that has been formatted since the last time i installed a new rom
i am also using a usb-otg cable with a 7gb FAT32 thumb drive
after a complete wipe in recovery I cannot get my phone to recognize my usb-otg and after trying to do an adb sideload adb will not recognize the phone.
I need to either get usb-otg to work or adb to recognize my phone. I think my problem with ADB is a driver issue on the pc, I have tried various driver instillations from http://adbdriver.com/ , http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/ , and the driver download link in hasoon2000's AIO kit, as well as the xda guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232799 .
however i am always left with M7wls under other devices in the device manager
I have also tried restarting the adb server and checking adb devices, but the phone never shows up
update: I was able to install cwm in fastboot usb hoping i would get the usb otg to work, but usb otg still will not mount
2nd update: the phone is now recognized as My HTC in fastboot and seems to work fine with fastboot commands and is now recognized as One in CWM still unable to sideload
I suspect my problem might be that i never had my phone connected while it had a rom installed so it never discovered it properly, instead it is trying to discover it as whatever the recovery says it is?
I am also still unable to get my usb otg to work CWM says "error mounting /external_sd!" if the usb otg would work my problems would be solved, can someone tell me how to prepare a thumb drive to work with usb otg in twrp or cwm

i was having the same problem what i did i uninstall the sync manager and drivers, rebooted my computer then redownloaded the sync manager let it install the htc drivers then connect the phone to pc let recognized the device and boom it was working for me.... hope that helps
that did change the phone name in the device manager about a minute long enough to sideload once, but when trying to sideload again the cmd said the server was out of date and closed, and looking at the device manager the name reverted back to M7WLS
do you have the sdk tools up to date on your pc?
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
i have nothing installed besides the htc one drivers/sync and any fastboot or adb commands i do is through hasoon2000's toolkit which i have used in the past without any problems
i have now connected to and installed the drivers on 3 different computers and they all leave the phone as m7wls in the device manager unable to show up as an adb device
i also am still unable to get my 7gb fat32 thumbdrive to work as usb otg
M7wls driver
can anyone help? i am completely stuck with the phone all because i cant get the driver to recognize the phone properly
or is there anything i need to do to prepare the usb otg thumb drive to work in either cwm or twrp?

there is no rom installed to change settings

what root folder are you placing the zip file to sideload?
I believe it will not sideload because your rom zip isn't in the correct folder on your computer. With the sdk installed it would have to be in the platform-tools folder with hasoons toolkit I don't know.

How did you fix the recovery? I'm having the same issue you had but I'm using PhilZ Touch 5 recovery. This is why I hate HTC for not adding a SD card slot in this phone and its the last phone I will ever get that doesn't come with that option. If this were my EVO LTE I'd be up and running in minutes. Its been two days now and this damn iphone wannabe crap is making me sick. I regret this phone so much but you live and you learn. Anyway can you please help me figure this out for PhilZ Touch 5. I don't see how it wouldn't work any different than TWRP.
I use this video to help me but when I get to adb devices my phone isn't found.

ok will now
I was gonna flash and prior to doing so I accidentally wiped internal memory. When trying to reboot I received a message in TWRP saying no ROM found. Phones does not boot since the OS was wiped.
I'm able to get back into recovery but there is no ROM to flash and Unfortunately there's no memory card slot on the phone. If there was I could have transfer a ROM over to sd card and installed it.
I've tried installing from a RUU file using a windows 7 laptop but I get an error message 170 USB not connected. I'm not sure why its not recognizing my phone. I have htc drivers installed. I have also unistalled the htc drivers, rebooted laptop and installed drivers again with no luck. I have also tried ADB side load in TWRP but adb is not recognizing device, Im unable to push a rom. I just do not get why it is not recognizint my htc one. I'm able to charge it so I assume the usb port on the device is not the issue. Strange, My other devices get recognized through usb.
Any suggestions on what I can do to install a ROM or get my laptop to recognize my phone? The last 2 days I have done reasearch without any luck, I hope someone here can help. If only if this phone had a SD slot, then this wouldn't be an issue as I'm able to get into recovery.
You can use adb to push the ROM to /sdcard/ while in recovery and you should be able to install it from there.

i also had the exact same problem with my sprint htc one... while installing an RUU my laptop showed an error that device is not connected (it was running windows 8.1 x64 i think that was the problem) then i disconnected and connected the phone again it showed "USB device not recognised" and even fastboot could not detect the phone ....
when i switch on the phone it would go straight to TWRP... i tried adb push and flashing through USB-OTG cable with no luck..
but when i connected my phone to my friend's desktop running windows 8 x86... it did not show up in my computer but fastboot detected it and i was able to flash this RUU http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22926241640219526 ... and now my phone is up and running...
now first try USB-OTG method, if it fails try flashing RUU.zip from other computer it might get detected...
:good:
