[Q] device not recognized :(

please help me :- after our long wait for 2.2 to become avail for my galaxy s i was over the moon when i was 'allowed' to upgrade but to my horror when downloading to the phone windows vista decided it didn't recognize my device and terminated connection.
ive tried a few things since to try to rectify , i've deleted then reinstalled kies , kies was also telling me to go into recovery mode which my unit doesn't do , the phone & pc communicate fine to upload & download reg media etc it just seems that when digging android is doing his thing on my screen the pc decides NO!!!!!.
Also after each attempt to upgrade the phone seems to be un-affected and will boot & work without any problems.
As i said before please help as i bought android rather than sellout to you know who and all my 'i' mates are laughing.........

i'm desperate guys please help or point me in the right direction.

It might be your antivirus or any other program using/ connected to your phone other than kies.
You can do few possible things, of I can think of
1. Turn off your antivirus during upgrade
2. use another USB cable
3. restart the mobile
4. check if you can copy/ paste files from/ to mobile/ computer
5. If yes, you should be able to upgrade through Kies
6. Sometimes Samsung server is down
If it doesnot help, let me know

many thanks I will try this asap

well ive tried the anti-virus & firewall thing with no effect,is there a coinsidence that my model doesn't have 3 button reset and this problem? unfortunately im not pc savy enough to know where the files are on the pc to copy n paste. i did try a diferent cable & after each attempt to ugrade & device not recognized the phone will only start after ive whipped the battery out ...........................so once again any help would be great , thanks.

Dear I am not sure what wrong there, as you said 3 Button combo is not working, I would suggest to enable it 1st from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810686
Once it is working, you will be able to flash/ install any firmware
maybe If you open Kies as Administrator, it might solve your problem or 1st repair the windows using windows CD and then open kies as Admin and try the same process. I hope you understand I am just guessing what might be the problem with your PC

Connecting SGS to Kies - MTP error - fix

Before you wipe any data or factory reset etc, you may want to try the following.
I know there are many solutions offered around the internet for this horrendous problem - if you are one of those poor people, like me, that get the constant trying to connect message, the MTP error message or if kies can read your phone and you get the 'can't update device' error - then hopefully this solution will help.
I myself have tried everything for many, many months. Downloading the new Kies software, uninstalling, reinstalling it, getting the latest USB drivers (both manually and using Kies), phoning Samsung, going to their Service Centre - all to no avail.
My phone was originally on Orange and I unlocked it to O2. This solution worked for me. And, best of all, you don't have to reboot, factory reset or wipe any data! Joy!
All you need to do is download a very simple utility software developed by one of the wonderful guys over on AndroidForums (I'm unable to post link, due to being a new member, but head over to Android Forums and search 'solution/tutorial galaxy s i9000 mtp application crashing html (will show thread title in bold, click on this) then scroll down a little way and look for the FileSearcherforKiesFix.zip file.
Once you have this utility, connect your SGS to computer via the usb cable, using mass storage mode. Run the utility and find the drive on the computer for the phone - it will search for files with characters of 16 or more. Once you find any go into the computer, find corresponding drive for the phone on the computer and delete this file. Run the application again to double check.
Now I will say that it is a good idea to take out any external memory cards before you run the utility and just have the phone drive to search.
Once you've done this, put phone back into kies mode and run Kies. If it doesn't connect up, do the above again; put phone into mass storage mode and run utility again. Sometimes files show up again after disconnecting and re-connecting. I found a total of four files, that's all! Make sure you definately delete them.
When you have done this, connect to Kies, again in Kies mode, and your phone should be recognised. You will then get offered any firmware updates.
Good luck - hope this works for you. Let me know.
So simple (took me 6 months to find this too!).
I will finish by saying that although my firmware updated, it was to a more recent 2.1 eclair version, as it seems apparently, Orange have not 'officially' released 2.2 for their phones as yet; have heard end of January!! What???!!
So patience patience patience!!
Good luck people.
Any questions please ask.

i have tride this for many times but still not working. i want to smash my phone

[Q] i9000 boots to black screen NO DOWNLOD MODE OR RECOVERY

Ok so I purchased an i9000M that was advertised as broken (got it for cheap) to see if I could get it going for my step daughter. I turn it on.... I get the samsung boot screen and goes black when it should be booting OS.
Windows still recognizes it somewhat. If I look in device manager under "portable devices" It shows a "j" and "k" drive that are identified as i9000 and i9000 sd or something like that. Although Windows sees it.... It wont mount these drives unfortunately.
Things I've tried ( Before someone suggests I use a JIG............. It doesn't and will not work on this phone)
USB JIG (tested and working on my Hercules)
SD Card Partition (EXT4 and FAT32) because I suspect borked internal storage
SD Card Partition (ReiserFS and FAT32) Still nothing......... then I realized the phone probably wasnt rooted
3 button combos ( every single combination) nada
plugging in USB cable while holding volume up and down...
ADB Reboot recovery/download ( not recognized because I cant turn on debugging)
ETC ETC ETC........
I have been searching google for hours for some kind of clue as to what can be done other than JTAG repair and All I come up with (no matter what site im on) is " Use a USB JIG" duhhhh Its getting rather annoying.
Im no stranger to flashing ( no expert) but this one has me stumped. I was considering buying a RIFFbox anyways but I thought maybe some experienced users out there might be able to suggest something.
My hope is that something can be done with the J and K drive that was mentioned. Perhaps I can format and somehow push a rom straight to the internal storage without any assistance from the phone itself...... I know..... wishful thinking. or perhaps boot straight from external SD???? That would be interesting!
More to this.... I realize this question has probably been asked a million times because it seems to be a common issue on this phone but I suppose my long winded question really boils down to my last paragraph which I havent seen suggested yet.
EDIT: I have a Windows 7 AND kubuntu 12.04 dual boot if any suggestions require linux
Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks. i will have a look and experiment tomorrow.
I'll report back my progress

if it pops up when you plug it into the computer, check if it does in odin. if does in there too try to flash a stock rom. or better yet take this download and follow the read me intructions, except the dl mode part cause you said it doesnt work. try both with the phone on and off. no it isnt the bell version of the pom but it will work. you will problably want to root it then install galaxy s unlock tool from the market and use that to unlock the phone aswell.(cause it not the bell rom)

As I mentioned.... no download mode, therefore.... No ODIN. Unless someone has some magical way to make it work otherwise. The computer knows its an I9000 at least. Kies says its in the wrong mode and I have no UI so debugging is out of the question.
Also: Xsenmen. I was unable to get any of the tools to connect. In one section you mention that AndroPlatina attempts to connect while booting? I was unable to get this to happen. I even tried the "heat trick" to no avail

recover delete pictures

I accidently delete some pictures on my HTC one, I tried a couple of programs to recover my pictures.
But non of the program seem to be able to finde my HTC, ever though its in debugging mode.
What program will you recommend for recover delete pictures.?
I'm on stock and are not rooted.

its hard to recover stuff using your computer because the HTC One is detected as an MTP device. Go to the playstore and search photo recovery and try some of the apps that come up. I remember using one that seemed to work really well just dont remember its name.

Thanks, i will look around
If you come up with the name of the app, please let me know.
edit:
I just tried 10 different apps, 8 was adware not doing anything.
Only app "worked" and let you recover 3 pictures, you don't get to choose which one, and i couldn't find the three pictures afterwards.
I'm a little lost now.

still lost
I have tried several apps, but still no dice.
I have tried dr. fon and remo. but they both can't recognize my htc one.
dr. fon just keep booting my phone.
It looks like it wanna install a driver, but which one i don't know.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

I got the USB issue sorted out tho.
Follow this steps
1. Go to settings, scroll down to "System"; select "About Phone".
2. Tap Build number about 7 times until "You are now a builder" pops up.
3. Go back to Systems and select "Developer options"
4. Turn the switch on then scroll down to "Debugging"
5. Turn on "USB debugging"
6. Scroll down to "Networking" and tap "Select USB Configuration".
7. Select "MTP" (Media Transfer Protocol).
8. Connect your phone to the USB cable and plug into your computer.
Note: If it doesn't connect after this, reboot your phone and connect it again to your computer.
Please let me know if this worked. Thanks

I wrote this in another thread with similar problem, i'll do a copy-pasta here..
Infinix's 5.1.1 has a half-hearted multiuser feature. they fix it in 6.0, and the fix further create this stupid problem.
sdcard is only a link, a shortcut, and the real location which the shortcut pointed got moved.
it is originally in /data/media in 5.1.1, move to /data/media/0 in 6.0. only the link moved, not the content, so you will not see them. you need root to move them to the right place.

Just have to ask, apart from the issues you've mentioned does marshmallow have any other issues on the hot 2?
Thanks

Marshmallow on hot 2 came to me with battery issues which am yet to solve. My battery does not charge beyond 88 percent no matter how long it stays plugged in. Any advice?

The proximity sensor also seems to not work. I tested it with All-In-One-Toolkit which recognizes it, but the sensor doesn't interact with apps.
