[FIXED] thanks guys
When I connect my Samsung Galaxy S, the computer doesn't do ANYTHING (it doesn't recognize that anything has been connected), and the SGS doesn't even recognize that it's connected to anything. All the phone does is charge...not even a notification drop down prompts me to enter USB mass storage or charge etc. I've factory reset the phone many times (plugged & unplugged), and nothing seems to fix it. I can't find my SGS in the Device manager to reinstall drivers either.
I am running Windows 7 64bit on a Sony Vaio, if that helps.
I've searched tons of sites & forums and none seems to have a working solution...Any ideas/fixes?
I think I found the problem I was having...I was using a Rocketfish CHARGING cable, and although it looks like a USB cable (it connects to the computer via usb), it does nothing but charge...so I took off the micro usb adapter that affixed onto the mini usb charging cable and re-affixed it onto a random mini usb cable I had lying around. And now it connects to the computer! I can now use all the other tutorials fixing the generic "usb driver not installed properly" problem.
UPDATE: I was following the tutorial on http://theunlockr.com/2009/12/02/how-to-root-the-samsung-behold-2-samsung-galaxy/ but when I get to the fastboot part, my phone won't boot into fastboot.... Can anyone help?

turn on usb-debugging mode in settings. you have to manually choose to mount the volume on the SGS every time you plug it in.
should work.
you need to either install KIES, or install the drivers included in the Android SDK

I got my phone to connect & be recognized by my computer, but I can't seem to get my phone into fastboot. Can anyone tell me which keys to press...?
I had the exact same problem. Googled and found a forum post somewhere with the following solution:
Turn off Galaxy S. Connect to pc by USB. Turn on Galaxy S.
...
Yeah.
Worked for me, anyway. Ever since I did that it's been working fine even if I connect it while it's turned on.
EDIT: Gah, didn't notice you had it solved already, thought the second post was from someone else. Oh well.

Use the cable that came with your phone. I had issues with a second cable I bought for my second pc. Changed the cable back and everything was fine.

For all, there has always been a problem with sammy usb cables/ports, so when connected up to pc, always take care not to knock phone, this will become especially important when you connect to odin if you get into rom flashing

My i9000 has the exact same symtoms shows as a sec s5pc110 device. Were you able to revive your phone with or without the hardware mod?
I guess an ubuntu download and install is nessecary really soon
I created this during a failed odin flash possibly a bad usb cable attempting to recover from a bootloop brick (those previously did not scare me anymore)

Going through the same dramas myself, I've got a Ubuntu distro running with UnBrickableResurrectorR40 but the issue I'm having is keeping my i9000 connected whilst Resurrector does its stuff. Battery is at 100% (from a desktop charger) but yeh, Resurrector sees it for about five seconds, does a little bit of its process then the phone disappears and Resurrector flags an error. Nowhere is there any help for this problem, I've been searching forums far and wide for days without a result...
Fix
Did anyone find a fix ?
Tryied unbrickable mod (without hardware mod) and didnt worked
Nah, still no good, the phone won't maintain connection to the PC long enough for Resurrector to write what it needs to into the bootloader...
Hi
has anybody been able to fix the problem my phone is having the same problem
Nah, sorry mate, the way I solved it was to buy a i9100...
Damn. Same problem.
I have the same problem. Tried jig.. no luck. Comp only recognizes device for a couple seconds, tried everything and looked everywhere. Damn.
I've pretty much resigned myself to using my i9000 as a paperweight, until someone can come up with a working solution...

I have had this same problem and figured out that when you click "Resurrect" fast enough (before the "DetectMode" picture changes) then it writes successfully. However this does not help, since it "disconnects" after that so no download mode and no heimdal ;(

Hi there,
I need some help here..my p990 usb only charges when connect to pc or playstation 3. I know it isn't a driver problem because i have already tested other two p990 at my pc and both devices are recognized/usb work.
I've tried smartflash/nvflash but the device can't be recognized by windows..
So, can i assume the usb hardware is dead :crying:? any tip for fixing this matter ?
Thanks in advance,

No. How can i try this?
go to Settings->Storage-> hit the menu button -> USB-Connection(PC) -> choose between the options.
Actually I'm having the same issue. But I'm really sure my USB port is broken.
The device just isn't recognizing that it is being plugged into something.
(And I tried everything anyone ever reccomended on the USB not working matter)
I just use a cardreader to put stuff on my SDcard. I just hope I never have to repair my device via NVFlash. That's impossible now.
Other than that it's not a big deal for non-devs

The same is happening with my p990 to. I can´t connect to pc with pc connection. To transfer data i use the card reader or with airdroid who it make with wifi.
Others users that had this problem they sent the phone in warranty and Lg have changed their mainboards. So if you have warranty go and solve your problem with your LG shop. It´s seems that is not any solution to solve this annoying problem with this bad hardware
Hello, same problem here. Well, "you need to send it to LG".. but there's one problem. I have MIUI and I can't flash back original ROM without nvflash. How to deal with it?
Try this: open LG update tool > options > "?recover (phone)? " > do by imei > enter serial and imei. LG update tool checks baseband for updates, for recovery idk, but I guess recovery cm only needs the numbers entered. Worth a try, and I'd like to know too.... Thanks Ferrum Master, you made me know about this function

well at mine don´t works. thank you very much for you solution.
I have the same problem. It's not possible to connect to the phone either by LG tool or as mass storage. I've tried different cables, computers and cleaning the connector in the phone without success. I'm running stock GB.
I would really like to root the phone to be able to flash CM10. Is there any way to do this without USB connection?
Edit: I've already tried NVFlash and SuperOneClick
I had the same problem last weeked and i manage to solve it, im busy right now but I promise i'll tell you how i solved it later today or tomorrow

Hey hello, I wrote yesterday and told you that I would teach you how to fix this bug, I'm almost done with the tutorial, I had to make all over again so I could tell you step by step, unfortunately, the fix I found is temporal, so, I'm trying one more thing to see if I can make it permanent, and also, i'm wating for Hulk to answer me where to post this fix, 'cuz you're not the only one with this problem, so I think would be better to create a thread with my solution, i'm sorry if I could not give you the instruccions today but I think later today or tomorrow hulk will tell me where to put it, as soon as I post the solution, I'll post here a link to the thread, just wait a bit more

Been trying to install the USB driver for my Galaxy S.
I'm able to use the USB storage feature, yet strangely enough it isn't detected in ADB/device manager.
Downloading the driver online doesn't work.
I suspect it could be my Android being 4.3.1, can any other users confirm this?
ROM would be C-Rom.
Graci.
Hmhh it is not the Android-Version 4.3.1 ...for me CM 10.2 (= Android 4.3.1) the USB-drivers works perfectly in my odin ...

Follow this guide to resolve connections problems or look in My Android Solutions link below
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.
So I watched the I'm a noob video before signing up and I did the research but I couldn't come up with a clear answer for myself.
Problem: Flashed wrong image on my phone using ODIN OCD after getting stuck in Semaphore boot logo
Symptom: AT&T World Phone Logo keeps flashing, phone goes dead when connecting to USB
Things I tried:
-3 Button download mode: doesn't do squat
-2 Volume button + power button: AT&T logo laughs in my face
-Installed ADB but I can't make a connection to the phone at all since it plays possum once I connect the USB cable
Previous history:
All I wanted was a working microphone....
I got an old S I9000 from my sister, she said the microphone wasn't working and it would power down by itself. I did a factory reset but the phone would still turn off and the mic still wasn't working. I took the thing apart and saw the battery leaked and left some nice green residue on the power connectors which I then cleaned. Then I tried cleaning the microphone but it still wasn't working so I ordered the whole home button + vibrator + microphone thingy on ebay and replaced it.
Note, I had never done that before. All proud of myself, I turn the phone back on, it works. Yay. Microphone doesn't work. Boo! I tried using a headset but that doesn't work either, so I figure, it's a software problem.
Since I already reset it to factory settings (was still on Gingerbread) and there is no new carrier update (o2-Germany) for this phone, I go ahead and root it succesfully. I wanted to install 4.3 on it using CWM and wanted to flash ParanoidAndroid v3.99 ROM firmware as well as Google Apps.
After that I got stuck in said Semaphore Logo, looked for a quick fix and downloaded Odin OCD and ran it... without checking what I was doing which left me with the AT&T World Phone logo flashing on and off.
QUESTION:
Will a JIG help me in this case? And if yes, what should I do once I'm in the download mode again?
I've invested so much time in this crap phone already that I won't admit defeat. I'm even looking on ebay for some broken i9000s where I can rip out the motherboard and place it in mine. If all else fails, this should work, right? Right?! And when it does work, what can I do about that friggin microphone?
Hey
U can try a jig. Make one at home..just YouTube or Google it..
1. Download your stock firmware from sammobile.com
2. Use Odin to flash it. Jig to put it in download mode.
It worked on my international sgs..!
Best of luck

First IF your phone is AT&T its not i9000 but SGH i897 or CAPTIVATE, which means you are in the wrong Forum your forum is here look in Q&A stickies for guides.
for all Samsung phones you can get guides and tools for entering download mode in MY Android Solutions
So make sure what phone you have by looking under the battery and ask MOD to move this post to the correct forum for correct answers
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.
Can I just say how much I like the way you've formatted this post. Its clear and straight to the point, perfect
As for your problem, the only way to fix this is to use a jig as @tchindalia described, then flashing via Odin.
Just asking, if you have an international I9000 though, why is there an AT&T logo? I thought the AT&T version of the Galaxy S was the Captivate...?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk HD
@tchindalia Thanks for confirming, I just ordered a jig for 3 € on Ebay, shipping included
@xsenman I am sure it's a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 with no simlock and no branding.
@Soryuu Thank you
The reason why there is an AT&T logo is because I downloaded Odin3 OCD to fix the first Semaphore boot logo problem I had. The problem with that was that Odin3 OCD was designed to rebuild Captivates and not the international version of the i9000s

you wont need USB, JIG as its in boot loop due to wrong bootloader, the reboot tool should get you download mode, link given earlier , unless that fails than you should try JIG. good luck

yup weird indeed, sounds like micro usb slot or cable ( should be original Samsung Cable) is causing the problem, anyway you can do some experiments by following this till the USB, JIG arrives. I would look seriously into misaligned pins and looseness.

The cable is an original Samsung one and it works on my Galaxy 2 without a hitch. I will give this some rest until the JIG arrives, I think I've truly exhausted all other options for now. I will update once I get the JIG and see what happens.
Thanks for all the help so far and have a great day!
