[Q] Problem with computer recognizing phone?

After much searching and work on fixing my bricked captivate, i broke down and bought a jig from mobiletechvideos.com. It works perfectly as intended, except for the fact that my pc is not recognizing the phone after it enters download mode. As a side note, i may have royally screwed up when i did something in clockwork recovery, where now i cant even get past the ATT World phone boot screen. Im afraid i may have deleted anything that can mount the phone to the pc. I have already installed the proper drivers, I think. Anything i can do to fix this?

So it shows the world phone screen a bunch of times? Plug it into an outlet see if the green battery comes up, just wait for it, the Gray battery will do a short of loop a few times... Once its at the green battery try to turn the phone on, be patient too, if you get the phone on, go to settings> privacy then factory data reset, make sure you backup to external or computer first
Your welcome
Now you say/press thanks

Thats not gonna work... nothing i know of can be done to it. it doesn't move past the att screen. No animation, not sound. Just ATT World Phone. i can get into download mode, but cant connect to computer. Thats the problem right there.

Try restarting your computer? I've had similar issues on a yucky iPhone, and I've read about other Captivate users with it as well, and a restart helped resolve the problem.

Go under your drivers and uninstall them and reinstall them it helped when I finally had got mine "back to his construction job" (lol download mode) it should then work

Ive already tried another PC and Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers to no avail.
It just like the phone isn't even there. It will charge, but wont mount to the PC.

Not trying to insult your intelligence or anything (I might actually be insulting my own) but you have Odin open, right?
Just trying to think of anything lol

Yeah, but it wouldnt matter anyway if the computer doesnt know its there.

Try cleaning the mini usb port. Or switch the usb cord connector the samsung factory one tends to break the data + and -.
As for not getting past the at&t screen. The kernel you installed cannot read the system partition probably corrupted or the kernel you installed cannot read ext4.
If you cannot get it to be recognized send it back to your carrier for repair, should be under warranty.

Thats what im doing now. Thanks for the help, though.

You sure you have the proper drivers installed for your phone? The links for them are on the odin forum in captivate development

Define "some water". Did it get splashed, if so on the front or the back? Was it dunked? How long until you fished it out and started drying it?
No matter what you should open the back, remove the sd card, SIM card and battery...take a hair drying on low to all of it for awhile, maybe store the whole lot in a bag of rice overnight.

it wasn't so much water :-/ ... i did all that i could ... but nothing change :-/

From what you are describing the only way the water could be responsible, as far as I know, would be if it damaged the internal SD card or its connectors.
Can you get into Recovery or Download mode?

i can get into download mode, but not into recovery :-/ ... it also freezes if i want to boot into recovery ... is there any chance to get into recovery ?!

I would give it a day or so to dry...then if you are still having this problem use ODIN to flash EZBase and see if that solves your problem. Then flash the ROM of your choice.
Plenty of good tutorials about how to do that. look at www.androidsoul.com for EZBase guides.

"just some water" is still pretty vague, as it was asked; a splash? Dunked? Define "some water" specificaly please
And, for the record, if an electronic device gets "watered", this is the way to go:
-Take it out of the water as fast as possible
-Remove the battery (and the cards, like SD, Sim, etc.)
-remove excess water with a towel
-dunk the thing in a bag/bowl full of rice so that it is fully covered
-Let it rest for 24 to 48 hours

What this man said.
Also, if it is still getting into download, but not recognized in ODIN....try placing the phone in Download, connecting to your PC, then rebooting. I remember back in the 2.1 days I had to do that to get it to appear in ODIN a couple times.
If not, the water may in fact have damaged the USB connector. Are you getting any acknowledgement on behalf of your system that the device is connected? Right click My Computer > Properties > Device Manager and see if it is recognizing any sort of Samsung device.

I thought the Galaxy's had holograms pop up on the back of the phone if it was water damaged?

Don't think so, atleast I haven't noticed anything.
I'm a firefighter and have lost count of how many times my SGS has got wet, I even managed to submerge it when we had major flooding at the end of last year.
Every time just make sure I dry it out completely (can sometimes take 12-24 hours) and it works fine.

If your cell as water inside again,
Have a trick for you for the next time...
I will say it for the next time.. Now its maybe too late...
Don't start your phone before this trick.. You may prodice a shortcut or something else domage.
So,
Accessories:
- bowl
- rice
- your phone... Any device.. Any fw and any OS ;-)
Procedure:
-- Take your rice and put a pretty good quantity into your bowl..
-- pick up your phone and remove battery sd card etc..
-- put all the pieces of your phone in the bowl of rice
-- make sure it is covered and set the table.
-- wait 3-4days.. And enjoy..
Have nice day :-D

Lumia 710 bricked. Any help?

Ok guys,
as the title says Lumia 710 is bricked.
It had last factory update and everything was working fine. Then i had to mess with it and to try to install Rataplan V9.1.
The process was working ok. By default, bootloader was in DLOAD mode, so in order to install custom ROM i needed to upgrade to Qualcomm. I have upgraded it and installed Rataplan .nb rom to the phone with NSSPro V0.54.
This is when my problems start.
The phone starts with one long vibration followed after few seconds with one short virbtation and thats it. No screen, no system, zip!
When i try to connect it again by usb to check it with NSSPro, it always starts in NAND disk mode. It does not matter do i start it normally on power button or with volume up. Its always in NAND. And it is always stuck. While the phone is connected to USB i can see Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM device in device manager but it has yellow mark like the driver is not installed.
I have tried several other roms, and NSS always shows that the rom is successfully installed, but the phone (other than vibration and NAND mode) is dead.
I have also tried all the solutions i could find on the net but no help. Tried, nokia recovery tool, WP recovery tool, Chimera e.t.c. Nothing works. Now i have a problem with NSS. It keeps stucking and beeing unresponsive for every option except Custom OS flash. Whatever else i click it either says tha phone is not detected or the app stucks and shuts itself down.
Is there other tool i can try?
Can i do anything to recover this phone or did i kill it?
PLEASE HELP!!!

Well that sucks and it sucks no one has tried to help here. I'm fair with Android but too new to WP's to probably be much help. Can you pull the battery out of the phone? Might pull it and leave it out a couple minutes then retry. You also might try from a different computer in case something has gone wrong on your computer in terms of port communication or maybe even a virus of some sort. Good luck.

Tried allready every solution that i could find or think of, including things You described. Nothing. I was left with no other option but to send phone to service. They have a box unit with which they should be able to recover phone.
That was 2 days ago. today is third day so i am thinking that my phone has gone beyond repair. Only thing i can do is to wait and see...

Why not...?
Why not send it in real life to a windows phone expert. There should be a place to get phones repaired But, if they say that it isn't possible for them you may have rendered your phone useless. Google should be your mighty friend in this case :crying: I wish you very good luck.

Seems like your phone's motherboard has been fried. If that's the case then no ways of recovering it(Confirm this with repair shop maybe they'll help you)

have you tried a debirck image? Im sure one is around on xda somewhere. get the debrick img, mount it to an sd card, put it in your phone and see if itll boot

S3 Mini GT-I8190 [Bricked]

Greetings, for the first time ever in my life I never experianced getting a Bricked phone, it did not happen while flashing or doing something wrong. I just did a normal flash, it was sucessfull was running the custom Rom there since months. I just woke up grab my phone while it was charging (It was at 100%) used the Instagram app and it randomly froze, I was just thinking it's normal, every Android phone freezes sometimes somewhere , plugged out the battery plug in and tried to boot it up, but nothing no vibration, no lights nothing. After some time, in the holidays I decided to plug in the phone into my PC, I heard noises that my win10 laptop tried to reconize something, so I had still hopes for it that it still works. I heard about that a JIG will may work for it, so I bought one that was "inteded" to be for my S3 Mini GT-I8190 waited for it to arrive and plug it in finally, well you could guess it, nothing happend. I knew a friend who had the same phone and I asked him if I may plugin the JIG inside, all it done was just vibrate and nothing else. On other phones it just works flawless. I tried to look up for a debrick image for the phone but it seems there is nothing like it, like it never existed, only the S3 somewhat got it. The only thing now I could help people is, is how to get your system back while TWRP/CWM/Recovery is still there or get the recovery back while the system is still there. My only option now is create some how a own JIG, buy a JTAG and get a debrick.img but the third option appears nowhere here nor in a search engine (Or maybe only mine).
If you have questions, please aks and don't be shy. The current state of the battery right now is 2.8V (Must be at ~60%)​
