Hi!
After searching the forums for a while I did not find a thread exactly matching my problem, so if I've overseen it, please just point me there.
To my problem:
I did a very stupid mistake, flashing a new custom ROM with a different kernel (as usual, cooked in Docs Kitchen) without converting back the lagfix. So I ended up with a non-booting phone - so far, so bad. Note to myself: Never flash a phone during the carnival weekend again.
So I booted into download mode and tried to recover it via Odin, but here I got my really bad surprise: USB device is not recognized, thus I Odin does not see the phone.
I tried 4 different PCs with Win7 or XP, a Linux desktop and a Macbook. I also tried 5 different USB cables (they all work with other smartphones like the Desire and the HD2). Wherever I stick the phone in, it is not recognized (code 10/code 43 in Win7). I used the stand-alone-drivers from the sticky forum thread here, and also most recent Kies versions, always the same: USB device not recognized.
Does anybody have an idea how to revive the USB connectivity? I'm almost at the point to send it in for repairs...
Or can someone elaborate how I could have killed USB with corrupting the ROM? I've to admit I do not really understand how these two are connected.

Hi Amokbunny
You get into download mode but the PC won't recognize the phone?
That's messy and I can think of nothing that could have done that. you did not change the bootloader did you (flashed a full samsung ROM containing a bootloader, for example VJ1)?
If not I guess it's a hardware issue.
formatted to ext4 without any backup
I did a very stupid mistake too. Got darky's rom 9.3., installed i, everything worked great(really awesome thing), then i wnt to recovry mode and entered tthe speedmod and it showed mr that my phone has rtf files system not EXT4 as it should be, thou i installed the speed mode. then i chose to repartition it to ext4 but i didn't choose the backup. Just clicked to format the sd. It did formatted to EXT4, rebooted, i saw the darky's rom logo and the the phone vibrated and the logog of the droid just flashed. I tried to enter recovery mode-didn't load. Started the download mode connexted to pc used ODIN 1.7 with PDA I9000XXJPY.tar, MODEM I9000XXJPY.tar, GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPY-LITE.tar s1_odin_20100512.pit.
The phone has started, appeared teh stok galaxy s logo and it's just flashing. Help needed. Don,t know what to do know. I have galayx s i9000 european version.
somehow i've managed to install new firmare 2.2.1 /I9000XXJPY-baseband /2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1-kernel version, but z4root isn't working. When i start permanent root the programm ends on aquiring root shell, the debug mode is on
Got it all running, installed Darky's rom 9.3. Thanks anyway.

Yep, I can boot into download and recovery modes, but that's it.
The only apparent change in the new custom ROM was the kernel.
I also cannot really access my external SD card (it shows me some phantom files, but not the actual content of the SD), otherwise I'd try to recover it this way.
I agree with the hardware issue, if it wouldn't have coincided with the flash procedure...anyway, I think I'll send it in for repairs if I don't get it to run on this sunday.
I have the exact same problem, except that I can access my external SD. I got the problem after upgrading to Darkys Rom 9.3 the usual way, but switched from Speedmod to Voodoo. After that update, my USB didn't work anymore.
I can't get neither Xp or Win 7 to recognize my phone. USB device not recognized, and tried all the tricks. Reinstalling Kies and drivers, switching between the different modes (storage, kies media, ask, debug...) But still no USB connection.
I updated to darkys 9.5 (transferring the rom using bluetooth, and updating using CWM), but still it doesn't work.
Can get it into download mode, but still can't connect using USB and Odin.
HELP!
Did anybody ever find a solution for this?
European version of I9000, bought in Denmark. No Simlock
Same thing here after installing JV1 + Ultibread Rom 1.4... Still no solution
*shameless push*
Any solution here? I dont have that problem, but it sounds too scary to not have a working solution :S
Same prob here! Any news?
Any solution? I have the same problem.

But if you are in download mode on your fone you'd rather should have a look at your configuration on the computer. Because the fone still can be flashed if the symbol for download still appears.
- Kies is shut down while ODIN is active?
- latest Samsung USB driver installed?
- Odin started with Admin?
Btw. did you try to get into recovery mode? Maybe this also still is working as the partition is quite small and chance high that it was flashed w/o faults. So you may be able to flash a zipped ROM rather than a tarball for Odin.
USB Not working when Phone plugged in... try these..
Unplug Device from PC..
Windows go to Device Manager...
Scroll down to Universal serial bus Controllers
Start with the top one and work your way down ..uninstall them all..
When done reboot Computer and let it install them all.. then try again
2.Settings --> USB Setings (under wireless & network may differ depending on Rom used) --> Try other settings Mass storage
3.Different USB ports on PC
4.Uninstall KIES from PC (reboot PC to take effect) and Reboot and just install samsung USB drivers....
5.Using windows type in msconfig in Start>Run box... windows will pop up and untick KIES from STARTUP TAB
Apply to take effect and restart machine.. try using ODIN to Flash ROM
I myself only use the Samsung USB drivers and ODIN never use KIES
or ...Check my signature and try SD formatter
I don't really know what I messed up but my computer doesn't recognize my phone any more.
After flashing Ultimate 8.2 beta and Ultimate 8.2 it just doesn't work.
What could I have done the mass storage is working with everyone except me.
I included some pictures. I'd appreciate getting helped.

5. Connect your phone into computer and let it install the sd-card drivers
6. remove the mass storage from your computer safely
7. install the samsung galaxy s drivers for your computer
8. plug your phone into the computer. now it should be recognized and you'll be able to flash to stock if you want via Odin

try uninstalling the drivers for your phone on the pc.
factory reset your phone.
Does it recognise in odin when in download mode?
The same issue. I have Ultibread 1.4 and wanted to flash the JVK but windows keep disabling it. Can't find the device either in normal state or in download state. Odin also didn't recognize it
I'm on win7 x86
Did a factory reset - still the same
I tried different cables and PC's - no luck Anyone !! Any idea?

Didn't help in my case. I did the backup and wipe/factory reset the phone. Enabled the debugging mode, removed kies and all the drivers, rebooted the phone and the pc, connected the phone to pc and had the same message Any idea where I could got it wrong?
P.S. ANd the phone is now extreeeemly laggy and unresponsive
Well this is brilliant! I have made it even worse. I thought thought, that maybe the kernel is the cause of the issue, downloaded the SGS KErnel flasher and flashed the CF-Root-XW_OXX_JV1-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1. After the reboot the phone is stuck at the GalaxyS logo and is not booting. I can get into the recovery and the Download mode but the phone is still not being recognized and when I try now to wipe/data or do a factory reset I get loads of red errors Please tell me that I didn't brick it yet

Do you have a rom on your sd-card? Flash it trough recovery.
Or doesn't recovery even recognize your sd-card?

It was in the previous kernel. But in the last one I've flashed there is no restore/backup functionality, although the backup might be actually be on the sd card

Well, there seems to be only a one solution.
You have to uninstall the phones drivers, and install them again.
Then plug your to your computer in download mode and it'll install rest of the drivers.
Then Odin should be able to recognize your phone and your good to flash stock.
But you really, really have to uninstall the drivers
Well I did it before. I uninstalled all related to samsung from the add/remove programs. Rebooted the pc and still getting this error. In the properties of the device in the device manager I have "unknown device". I don't have any drivers on the pc as far as I see. I install the drivers from here. Connect the device again and get the same error

Hmm.. I did change the computer.. Maybe you should put the drivers on a flash drive and go to your friends computer to flash.
The thing is that he does not have the drivers installed before either.
Don't know why it worked for me but... it worked.
I am going to try the last thing - I have a System backup from the time I definitely didn't have them on the PC and see if this helps....
Nope.... Didn't help.... I am completely desperate. Maybe anyone would have another magical solution?
Guys! ANy idea? Plzzzzz. I'd do anything to get it back to life
Me too i get "unknown device" when attached with usb in download mode...ive been trying to get it back workin for a week now...tried everything...which means i can't flash it to gingerbread
Anyone got any ideas ?
I have tried different PC's and it's the same. Is there maybe a way to reset the device somehow?

Hi!
I have a similar problem.
For few days, I cannot connect my SGS to my Notebook.
I have windows 7 x64 installed, and it has never had any problems with connections.
Now, I don't know why, but I cannot connect it.
I tried to connect it to another computer, which has windows 7 x86.
And it was succesfull!
Now, it seems, that I don't have a hardware issue, but I cannot imagne, how I could solve this problem.
I already tried these:
- remove drivers/programs
- tried other USB slots
- downloaded newer USB driver for x64
- removed USB drivers (all of them)
- unplugged my notebook for over 5 minutes (also removed the battery)
Every time I plug my SGS to my PC only this message appears:
"unknown device" - or something similar, because I have a hungarian windows 7.
Sorry about my english.
Has anyone any idea?
Thx for advance

Windows 7 recognizes EXT4 so that's not the issue, otherwise everyone who flashes roms and plays with their phone would have the same issue.
Try the cord, apart from that if you can't get any PC to recognize it in download mode it may be hardware related.
Not yet

I'm having trouble understanding your posts. From what I can gather we have eliminated a driver, PC or cord issue. Why do you think it is CWM issue when the phone is not even recognized in download mode?

I have used a different USB cord, no sucess...
I have tried using another PC and nothing!
The 3 Buttons options still working even for CWM (then I can`t do anything cause the unknow mount/ storage problem)....and in Download Mode the WIn7 Doesn`t Recognize it.
I hope you understand me...sorry about my English!
CWM Unable to Delete files
I continue in trouble...my SGS isn`t working, the CWM mode can`t wipe, delete or install anything...always the "E: unknow mount"
The Download Mode still not working!
What were you doing when this issue started?
I was restoring
I was trying to restore the update.zip file...I was using the MyICS and later the ICS RC4.2 ...but I`ve decided to return to the stock, wipe data/ factory reset and then: no more boot (only i9000 appears and stay)
HI, I`m using a program USBDeview and it can "see" my device although it doesn`t recognize as a SGS or i9000 or anything related.
I`ve been reading something related to ADB and PDAnet, but everytime that someone says to put my device in Debugging mode ON and continue the steps, I have to stop cause I can`t turn ON my SGS...I suppose that before the last time I used it I let the debugging MODE OFF...so my PC and any other PC will recognize it.
Any other idea/ solution?
Thanks a lot...but I still don`t have a phone,
I`ve been trying to solve my problem but no succes until now!

I still have the CWM 3.0 issue (not abble to install/ restore/ apply zip...anything caude it doesn`t acces to storage/ mount)
I still have to DOwnload Mode, but unabble to the FLASH ANYTHING by Odin.
Thanks a lot...but I still don`t have a phone,
What happens when you open Odin and then plug it in in download mode?
Have you tried to mount or unmount storage in CWM?
If you can't wipe anything through CWM and can't get any PC to recognize it in download mode unfortunately it sounds like you have either bricked your phone or you have hardware issues.
You've probably tried it, but, pull your battery out for a minute and then try everything again, apart from that there's nothing else I can help you with. Maybe start searching for tricks on how to unbrick an sgs.
Good luck mate and keep me posted on your progress, I'll help where I can.

The battery trick I've tried too.
Hi there so I today truied to update to Eagles Blood custom Rom using Rom Manager to flash the new rom onto my O2x. The rom supposedly installed correctly but then when it booted it just gets to the unlock screen you unlock it then it reboots after a couple of seconds.
I can't get into recovery mode by the usual power on volume down technique as this just results in the phone continuing to load. I have tried different combos of power button reboots with volume button up, volume down and both together none work the only difference is that one of those results in just the LG logo rebooting.
I read a few posts about using nvflash or even the lg recovery tool using imei number etc but still no dice basically when I do the connect to the pc with both volume buttons pressed and the battery out it connects but doesn't recognise the device. I try the device manager and updating or removing the driver but regardless of how and what I try it either tells me it's using the most current driver or that no driver is actually installed.
This the same when using NV Flash i can't apx drivers installed and the device if I try to skip that step and go straight to the flash.bat command i just get usb device not found or connected or something like that.
Please help i am willing to try anyrhing and i really don't have the money for a new phone. I only have to get it working long enough or far enough so i can reinstall my backup i did before attempting the rom install this morning.
try connecting to different usb port(I suggest the backport of your PC)
and if that didn't work, must be a faulty cable.

Unfortunately the cable is fine as if I'm not holding the power or volume keys I'm charging the batteries. I'm thinking there's something wrong with windows and the way it detects it possibly as i've trawled a fair amount of forums and tried a lot of what others have managed to get working with exception to someone else who had the same problem but couldn't get a resolution (that he posted about).
May be your USB port was broken.
Have you actually installed the apx drivers required for nvflash to work?

you're not on Hard Brick, right?
can you try Smartflashing?
you need to install LG united drivers first.
APX won't install
So the problem is that my PC will pick up the unknown device. But it will not allow the install of the drivers. I can install the LG universal driver. The phone will connect as a unknown device only with error code 43 (device has been stopped) you try installing the APX drivers and the install of those drivers fail with error code 10 (can't start the device) this happens on both my stuffed phone and the brand new replacement so I am at a loss I have tried this on Windows 7 pc and also a Win 7 laptop (64 bit and 32 bit respectively).
The whole affair is frustrating as hell as I an't get my new O2x recognised either I can't root that to put my nandroid backup on and I am stuck on Froyo that I can't seem to root at all or even use lg update tool to update it to the latest stock firmware.
WHat about rooting apps
So with the obvious ways not working are there any actual apps I can install on my phone that will root it that way I am certain this is how I did it on my first O2x just can't remember what the name of the app was. So if anyone has apps or links to apps that may do this and or do do this please post back.
Have you actually tried a different USB cable? I notice you said the cable charges the phone, but this doesn't mean that other cores/pins other than the ones used for charging aren't damaged.

different windows and different drivers
My suggestion would be try it on some other computer and different drivers. Or on same computer but reinstall Windows and ofc different drivers.
I'm suggesting this because I had experienced some what similar things on LG phones.
I just hardbricked my S5830 while trying to install cwm.
Actually I tried to install cwm without rooting the phone, and when i checked after this the phone was not going to recovery even samsung default recovery was gone.
Now there was no way through phone to install cwm. So i tried to factory reset the phone. My bad luck, phone is not getting on now.
The problem I am facing now is I am not able to use odin as drivers are not recognising the phone. It always gives drivers malfunctioned error. Even for the adb drivers too.
Has anybody faced this issue?
It is going to download mode. But in pc it is not recognising the phone. I installed all the available drivers.. But still the same.
Thank you in advance.

Have a look in the rooting and troubleshooting threads.
If odin isn't recognising your phone then:
1/ drivers for "download-mode" not installed properly.
2/ phone is not actually in download-mode.
3/ usb cable or pc usb port is faulty.

1/ All I can suggest is install drivers/ odin as administrator. Windows should detect running phone with "ding-dong" even in wrong mode.
2/ remove phone battery for 20 secs.
3/ replace battery.
4/ press and hold down home button, down-Volume & then press power for 4 secs, then release power.
5/ keep holding home and down-Volume (about 5 more secs) until screen flashes and "downloading" is displayed.
6/ release buttons, plug phone to pc, flash stock rom with odin.
