Phone in download mode but computer not detect the phone - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everyone
I have a samsung cappy ATT with CM10 before and it was not detecting my sim card so i decided to flash it back to stock so i can use it with sim.
I was so noob and went to CWM and wipe out everything (whatever i see on the menu that i see i can delete, i deleted them). Then now my phone it stucks in ATT logo when i turn on and my pc wont detect even in download mode. I am not able to boot to CWM so I can't flash with zip file. I did some research here and tried 3 different USB cable and 3 different desktop(XP and vista) and none of them detect my phone :crying:.
Just want to see if any expert here know the solution and help me out. My model is 1007 so i dont need a JIG to go download mode. I love my cappy and really it to back to life.
Please help

[Q] Phone cant get past the first screen

After that I downloaded Ryanza lagfix and a custom 2.2 ROM, my phone turned off by itself and now i cant get it to work. I tried to flash it back to 2.1 with Odin, but it stops at "SetupConnection...". I tried to restore the phone and the internal SD card thourgh the recovery menu, but it didn't work either. Now i cant even get to the recovery menu or the download thing, because everytime i press on power i see a phone connected to a pc with an orange PC. How could I repair it?
If im not able to repair it im probably going to trade it for another phone tomorrow at the Bell shop. So if nobody can help, should i ask for another galaxy s or go with the HTC desire Z ? ( google G2 in USA)
Looks like you have got a Corrupted Internal SD Card. Happens with Bell Phones.
Do you have the 3 Button Mode working? If not, you can try the JIG Method to put your phone in Download mode.

[Q] Simply put, i'm SOL.

SOLVED: when having trouble with your computer not making a good connection to the phone, try your USB HUB on the mother board. it totally fixed my problem!
So here it is. I received a cappy from a buddy at work.
Basically, she is running cognition (FROYO BASED) rom, not sure of the kernal, and Cwm.
i can get the phone to reboot into RED CWM recovery, and even into DOWNload mode.
The phone was shut off during a factory reset. the battery died.
(IDK the girl was a dumbass and did it from settings on the phone not in CWM )
The phone will boot, ONLY after a factory reset from CWM but the setup google accs f/c's and the only thing i can get it to do is volume up/down pull the notification bar down and power off recovey dl mode...ect ect.
Task manager say's there are no APPS installed on the phone running? yet when i go LVL 2 RAM clear, the phone says 13 apps closed..
I think the Stock APK's have been deleted, since i cannot get into menu at all.
Since she factory reset the phone, and wiped the SD CARD, ALL CWM recoveries she created are GONE.
I have Cleared the cache, and wiped dalvik code, fixed permissions.....
I'm very familiar with the VIBRANTS, not the cappy's so this is a challenge to me.
my Vibrant has connected with all the usb drivers from samsung, but the cappy cannot. I've even downloaded the drivers for just the CAPPY, uninstalled all others, and Still not recognized, yet my vibrant does?
i've installed i think every driver on here for captivates, kies downloads, even went to the samsung website and Downloaded from there.
STILL NOT CONNECTING.
Even DL'd the AIO cappy toolbox (very nice to have for my VIBRANT)
Still no avail.
THE PHONE CANNOT MOUNT THE EX SD CARD. So that idea's out.
all my drivers are correct for the 32 bit vista OS. even tried on my GF's 64 Windows 7.
Still no avail.
I've installed the drivers with the phone in DOWNLOAD mode even, still not connecting.
Rebooted the computer after removing and also reinstalling drivers.
Changed between 3 diff cords, all work for my VIBRANT,
still no avail.
Any idea's would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

First, see if you can find out which version of Cognition she was running (Gingerbread- or Froyo-based).
Once you have that information, I believe you should be able to download the appropriate ROM on you computer and copy it to the microSD card (adapter or whatever method you need to do to get it there). Since you can get into CWM recovery, you could try flashing the ROM from there. Assuming it's a full wipe rom (and you're not concerned about keeping apps installed on the phone), it should reset things to a more workable state. (If you are worried about apps remaining... I don't know what to say at this point, since you can't get to Tibu.)
If that doesn't work, you could try the one-click back to stock (realizing that you're having connectivity issues, I'll get to that in a second).
When you connect the phone in download mode to ODIN, does the yellow COM:# show up?
If you have tried ODIN on your Vista computer, try running ODIN as Administrator.
I've had some luck in the past getting the phone to be recognized (assuming Froyo) by doing this:
1. With nothing connected to computer, start ODIN (one-click to stock would be good).
2. Pull battery on phone.
3. Reinsert battery, but do not power on.
4. Hold Vol+/Vol-/, and insert USB cable.
5. Wait for it to kick into download mode, release buttons, and wait again.
6. See if ODIN recognizes it.

Thats my problem, the cappy does not see that there's an EX SD card there at all? says no files, but i've tried to push a cognition rom to the EX SD and use CWM to flash it to get it to boot, but the phone cannot see that there's an EX SD, but the SD card is fine, even my vibrant used it..
ODIN as ADMIN? tried that and nothing, still no yellow com port,
i know how to use odin, as my VIBE has been "Bricked" a few times lol
the vol up/down button combo does nothing, just shows up as a charging screen, the only way i can get the phone to download mode is through CWM.
the phone is running a FROYO based cognition ROM. or that's what her bf put on there.
This may sound stupid and simple but is the device set on mass storage from the settings menu? If you know.
Also have you tried mounting your sd cards in CWM?

lol THATS MY PROBLEM> the phone thinks it boots normally, but i cannot get the settings menu. like the "SETTINGS APK" file was deleted when she formatted the SD!
but i was just playing around and i got google voice search to pop up!
then from there i used my WIFI and setup the google settings, then i went to the market grabbed CWM and used the cognition rom i've already downloaded, and used it!
then the GREEN CWM booted, and it still cannot MOUNT EX SD card. so the flash failed.. HMMMMMM
As of now i am gonna go into the rom i DLed (cognition) and try to DL Root explorer and hard push the Settings.apk file to the system. HOPEFULLY from there i can get my settings back to restore the phone.
Realizing that it's a long shot at best due to connectivity issues, have you tried using ADB?
If so, you could push the ROM you need to the internal SD.
so, used root explorer to move the NEW cognition froyo rom from the EXternal SD to the INTERNAL SD. from there i used CWM recovery to flash the rom, the rom flash was successful, but now the phone is stuck in bootloop on the AT&T world phone screen.
and CWM will not LOAD. FML
Looks like i'm gonna have to take this apart and get to the internal SD card. =/
Can you get to CWM with the Vol+/Vol-/Power combo - hold those past one AT&T screen and when you see the second one, let go?
Adb was not an option at that point, the phone couldn't recognize it even had a phone attached to it.
but now that i'm stuck in bootloop and with no CWM recovery OR DL MODE, yeah the jig isnt' workin... HAHA
i guess its just a paperweight now.. Owell, i tried.
i held it for about 3 mins... lol and the jig i got for my VIBRANT isn't workin either. I didnt know these phone's can lose the 3 button combo reset? i often flash I9000 roms to my vibe, thats why i have a jig, but i didnt think cappy's would do that unless i flashed an i9000 rom to it? lol
Just because I'm not sure if you tried it - have you tried plugging the cable into a different port on your computer? If it's not one directly connected to the motherboard, that can sometimes cause problems getting the phone to be recognized.
Also - does the phone show any signs of recognizing there is a cable inserted (like charging)?
tried every port. No the phone only acts as if it wants to display the batt charging symbol, but does not show, I cant believe it, i actually think i bricked a galaxy s.. haha
Another long shot, but you could try the One-click unbrick. Since it's Heimdall-based, there's always a chance.
Wow, didnt know that even existed. Definately gonna be useful for my Vibrant, haha i'll give it a shot.. THANKS, i'll report back after i try it.
I hope it does something. With the connectivity issues you're seeing it's starting to sound a little like hardware issues.
I'm going to throw out a checklist of stuff, knowing that you are already experienced with ODIN and ROM flashing, simply because I know I usually can use some sort of checklist to make sure I've caught everything.
- Redownloading/reinstalling drivers, rebooting before connecting phone
- Redownloading/reinstalling ODIN package
- Redownloading ROM to flash
- Hold V+/V-, inserting USB cable
- Remove battery, hold V+/V-, insert USB, insert battery
- Hold V+/V-/HOME softkey
- Hold V+/V-/HOME/Power
- If download mode reached, allowing phone to sit connected for long time
- If download mode reached, connecting phone after opening ODIN
- If download mode reached, connecting phone before opening ODIN
- If download mode reached, connecting phone after ODIN, disconnecting, reconnecting phone
That's all I can think of for a checklist of stuff to try/retry.
I appreciate the help but i've tried all of those options several times, The jig did work to get it into DL mode, but from there i'm still in the same **** position, my computer will not recognize that the phone is connected.
Is it possible that the phone somehow lost its drivers? what i mean by that is, the phone acts different with different USB ports, completely.
On one port it says unknown device, another USB android composite device.
Its as if the phone's changing as i change ports. Very FRUSTRATING!
i think it could be a hardware issue myself, but how could a corrupt drive work so well? To the T every time i've used the jig DL mode fired up, but my computer still cannot find the drivers to run it. Hell i've even tried using winusb drivers package to force install the phone, still no avail.
Like i said, I really appreciate the input, I figured if i couldnt figure it out, someone on here had some EXP in doing this lol i've just never had a driver problem give me so much trouble. IDK, bout ready to turn this paper weight into a pile of ash.
If you can get into cwm, have you tried doing another hard reset/factory wipe?
Thats the problem, earlier i COULD get into CWM, and hell i flashed the new rom perfectly!
now it is stuck bootlooping, therefore i just used the Jig, and first few times it didnt work, now its stuck bootlooping, download mode is attainable, and still NOT connecting to my pc via usb.

Try a different computer? also, which version o of odin are you using? I've found 1.3 & 1.82 to work best.

Need Help with Boot Loop/ USB Issues

I recently tried Updating From Fasty 2.5 to Fasty II using rom manager with the most recent version of recovery installed. I had it Backup the preveious rom and wipe the data and delvik cash. everything seemed to be going fine until it rebooted and now it wont go passed the at&t World phone screen.
Another issue is i now can't seem to get into the recovery menu no matter what buttons I push. I can get it to download mode but for the life of me I can not seem to get any version of Odin to recognize the phone windows doesn't even recognize it when it was working when i'd plug it into any usb port. (This did work when I first rooted the phone but after no dice for usb)
If anyone can help me I'd greatly appreciate it
U can't use Rom Manager to go from a Froyo Rom to a Gingerbread Rom. Try rebooting ur computer. Mayber that'll help Odin and windows to recognize ur phone.
Ok so i redid everything you said. I think part of my usb is dead or something (I was able to still charge until now it seems i plug it in while off but i don't get the big battery icon just the little Star like loading thing and then it stops).
my wife's phone is found fine, but my phone just is not recognized. thanks for the help but looks like i need to contact at&t or samsung unless you know of a fix for the USB issue i am having.

I can only enter Recovery mode

Hi,
I installed a bootloader with Odin And after that I needed to Install a GBOOT with Odin but I can't enter dowload mode I only can enter Recovery mode. What do I need to do ?
I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990
What phone do you have?
What recovery version are you running?
How do you get into recovery?
A tad more info would be useful please.
9. Whatever I flash, I end up in Recovery! What should I do?
Flash stock Vibrant bootloaders, then ODIN to stock JFD. You should be good to go here onwards... I only had this issue when I tried changing bootloaders over MIUI/CM7. Couldn't replicate on Samsung ROMs... (AS QUOTED ON THE LINK PAGE)
Thank you for your responds
The recovery mode I run is CWM v 5.0.2.7 .
The thing is Odin can't recognize my phone because I can't enter Downloading mode so I can't flash that.
Hope you can help me further
if you got any rom's stored on your sdcard you could try to flash that and then try to enter download mode, otherwise you could go to "mounts and storage" and mount usb storage there and move over an rom to flash.
Try to flash phone via cwm. Now we have jvz deodexed version on forum. Maybe after it will be ob.

I've tried to flash a rom from my SD card.
@Emek can you explain it more clearly. I don't understand it.
Grtz William !
There is a rom on here you can flash using CWM. On the forum is a JVZ that you can flash without using ODIn, slap that on your sd card, goto recovery and install from sd and hopefully that should fix it
Sorry of being such a noob. What's a JVZ and which one do I need to flash.
Grtz William
I flashed this one Click
And It still doesn't work...
edit: Tried this one as well Click
It still doesn't work. I hope my phone isn't Bricked. Is he ?
They wont work as you need the correct gingerbread bootloaders installed first.
You ned to make or buy a jig then you can get the phone to access download mode again, and then using ODIN 1.83 reflash everything inlcuding the bootloader.
Jig instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Failing that, see if you can buy a jig from ebay
Ok thank you. I ordered yesterday a JIG from ebay.
What do I need to do then. What do I need to flash exactly ... I don't want to screw it up another time. I liked the MIUI rom but he didn't recognize the external SD so that's the reason why I flashed other bootloaders.
So I would like to have MIUI with working SD card.
If the SD card doesn't work I won't to flash the original Android.
Grtz William
I would download and flash this for starters, it contains a bootloader as well make sure you click the bootloader section in ODIN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380402
Then you can flash a custom rom afterwards, but dont change the bootloader once it works!

I bought a JIG so I can get into download mode right now so then I flashed the ROM that Buttwad proposed. But ODIN said the proces of flashing failed and no when I connect my phone to my pc my pc even don't recognize my phone so I can't put anything on my phone. What do I need to do. I am desperate.
u can acces the phone sd in recovery..
Am I blind or have you actually FLASHED a Vibrant bootloader over Galaxy S??
Seems like you have issues with key combinations. Try using the Volume down with power button and see if it could get you to the download mode.
Also, if your device is being detected by the phone, use "adb reboot download" to reboot the phone into download mode.
Here is the situation: I had the MIUI rom on my phone but my phone didn't find my external SD. So i searched a bit on the internet and I found a guy who had the same problem and he said that I needed to flash the Vibrant bootloaders so I did that. But then everytime I started up my phone I came in Recovery mode. I couldn't even acces downoading mode anymore. So first I tried to flash two other roms(This one And this onebut the problem stayed the same. So I bought a JIG and then I tried to put this bootloaderon my phone but Odin said ERROR after a while. So then I tried to flash this one.
But now I can't even enter recovery mode. When I start up my phone I see a pictogram with my phone and the pc with the sign that I can't connect them.
And my computer also don't find my phone anymore so I can't flash anything anymore.
Please Help !
I will give 8 euros to the person who can tell me step by step(easy) what I need to do to make my phone working.

[Q] Samsung logo freeze, cant recovery, can download mode (cant join to pc)

Hello everyone I am sure that there is a lot of this thread going.
But I think mine is even worse.
the problem:
I rooted the device, everything worked fine ( did it with card reader - because my pc can not recognize the device had the problem a long time ago, somehow it worked then, but does not now, giving me the code 10 and 43
I think my USB port on the SAMSUNG might be damaged, because it does recharge but wont connect at all, tried kies, tried all the debugging modes, drivers, turning off the computer, rebooting all that stuff..)
The main problem is I flashed the cwm, rebooted, worked fine, then I clicked the do Backup thing and from then I can only go to yellow "downloading" or samsung logo, cannot even use that "Odin" because my USB is apparently damaged.. Any Ideas at all other than taking the phone and throwing it into the dumpster?
it is gt-s5830
my system is Win7-64bit
any help will be deeply appreciated ...

Hi there
you will need to give a usb jigg service to your device and then flsah it back to stock using odin
SGA s5830 stuck @ boot logo
I follwed these steps before it stuck @ boot logo
1 rooted phone through root_S5830.zip file
2 then used 6.0.4.6-cooper_fix.zip cwm recovery
3 decided to flash Touchwiz-Resurrected_ROM_V1.0.zip rom
4 followed all steps to flash thrrough CWM recovery
phone reebots samsung.com logo>> samsung boot animation shows up>>samsung name appears again keeps glowing and phone restarts!!!
after it I tried 6-7 different roms then i tried to flash through odin but wasnt able to do so but failed the device showed up in odin but wasnt able to flash stock rom
then i decided to go for Phil touch recovery I installed Philtouch recovery and tried to flash a custom rom now I'm stuck again at boot name GALAXY ACE s5830 nothing goes further!!!
I searched over XDA and some guy quoted this problem is solvable by using odin and putting phone in downloading mode (vol- button+home button + Power on ) I am able to put my phone in downloading mode, but when i conncet it to PC it says USB device not recognized WTF!!!!!???? 10 mins ago i connected my Phone using same cable same port same odin now this ***** appears ???
I swapped PC's, Cables, ports everything nothings working , phone wont start stuck @ boot logo pls help ASAP :crying:
That's it.. You have hard bricked your phone that's dead recovery and dead download mode. Give your phone the usb jigg service which will force it to go to either the download mode or the recovery mode whatever you want.
