Okay.
I bought a Samsung Captivate from a company on Amazon a few weeks ago, and it started having the problem with the speaker cutting out. I took it apart to try the two fixed I'd googled - loosening the speaker screw and reseating the speaker ribbon - and neither worked, and now the speaker is completely dead. That isn't my biggest problem, though.
Somehow in the process of the above, I did something that made it so that the phone will only boot into download mode. I can hold down the power and volume buttons and get it to reboot, but it only reboots into download mode again, and won't recognize in windows via the USB cable. It did recognize once, and I used Odin3 to get it back to a factory reset image (it was running stock firmware, but I'd rooted it to remove the AT&T apps) thinking in vain that it might help, but it still only boots into download mode.
But there's the weird thing: It won't power off in download mode unless I pull the battery out, but if I put it back in then plug in the USB cable while holding both volume buttons, it boots right into android, no problem. Everything's fine except the speaker still doesn't work, it doesn't show to be charging while plugged into the USB cable, and still won't recognize the USB in Windows. But if I turn the phone off and back on, I'm back in non-recognizing download mode again.
Everything otherwise works fine once I get it into android, I can even tell it to erase all settings and factory reset, and it reboots itself, re-flashes to stock, and works fine until I power off and back on, then back to download mode.
So I guess the question is oh god what have I done?
Freud,
I too am having this issue with my roommate's phone. The only way I can get it to boot is if I perform a restore using a Odin3 image. However once it's turned off it only boots into download mode. I nor the roommate have opened the phone. It just one day decided to keep booting into download mode.
Any asistance in this matter would be appreciated! Thank you.

I can only offer a solution to the windows connection issue, once the phone is connected to pc, go into device manager and uninstall drivers for whatever it sees, unplug phone then plug back in and windows should reinstall drivers. Worked for me, odin wouldnt see phone . GL
This will solve your speaker issue

And this should solve your download mode issue

I'm having a similar issue where my PC does not recognize the device. Right now I have no ROM installed, I have Devil Recovery, and I can only boot into recovery and Download Mode. However 2 different PC's will not recognize the phone. I've tried multiple cables and one PC was Windows 8, one was Windows Vista. Both had the most recent drivers installed. Nothing works....any clue? I can't mount the /sdcard or USB Storage while in recovery because the PC doesn't pick up the phone. The internal storage doesn't have a ROM or kernel to flash on it neither so I cannot flash anything. I have a captivate that has Devil Recovery and can boot into download mode but will computers will not recognize the device, drivers installed or not.

Have you tried to uninstall the current drivers, reboot pc and reinstall them?
Also, it could be devil kernel that is faulty. If Odin can recognize the phone, you could flash a different kernel. Or even flash stock KK4, then corn kernel and finally, the ROM you wanna flash through recovery.
I just cannot get the PC to recognize the phone at all, even in download mode. I've tried 2 pc's and multiple USB cables, samsung, non-samsung, motorola, universial. Nothing, just says USB cannot recognize this device. Reinstalled drivers on 2 pc's and rebooted several times. I am lost, I know I'm not bricked because I can access download mode and recovery. I do not have a ROM on my internal card so I can't flash a ROM and can't mount my phone to my PC. No clue what to do.

I just need my PC to recognize my device and I'd be good, odin would then recognize my device in download mode and I could flash a different kernel or rom.
Try cleaning out the micro usb port of ur phone. Maybe the contacts are not making good contact.

Any recomendations for what to use to clean it out? I have q-tips, any special solution to use or just the q-tip?
Rubbing alcohol should do.

Still no luck...I got my PC at work to recognize the phone ONCE. It went through and recognized it like it normally would, however it wouldn't recognize it again. I've been trying on my PC at home all last night and all morning and still no go. It won't recognize it. Now one thing I thought about is that I am on Windows 8. The PC at work that recognized it was Windows Vista. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I wouldn't care so much if I didn't just sell it for $150 I just wanted to give the person a more updated ROM and ended up screwing something up when flashing the ROM.

Ok so I know you've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers several time. But what drivers are you using and when you plug the phone into your pc what is it showing as in the device manager?
They may be exactly what you are using but I added some drivers to this post you might want to try. Just unzip then through device manager update the drivers for your device manually and point it to that folder.
I added these drivers because I'm on Win8 as well and I noticed when I was in recovery that my phone wasn't showing up correctly in the device manager. After installing these drivers it was.
Thanks I'll try that when I get home, I am using the most recent drivers on the Samsung website for the Captivate.
So I got it to boot and be recognized by my computer and I used a 1 click method with CWM and it passed so the Odin flash. So no I basically have a on rooted captivate running 2.5 gingerbread and it is totally sellablebel now. I have no idea what caused my computer to recognize it I didn't even try your drivers yet, but thanks for trying to help.

I tried to update my LG P880 with LGMobile support tool yesterday.
After connecting the phone, I clicked on Start updating. A window popped up, telling me that it was downloading.
When it came to the update part, it lost connection with the phone. I did exactly as it said I should do (unplug, take out battery and put in in again, turn on the phone and connect it to the pc), and it restarted with the updating.
On about the same point as last time, the pc lost the connection with the phone. I did the same as last time, but now, the phone just doesn't boots into the S/W update screen.
The phone is NOT booting, NOT working to flash kdz, and it is NOT detectet as a phone, neither by the pc nor the LGMobile support tool, but my pc detects a device called APX when I connect the phone to the pc.
What can I do? And what is wrong?

LGMobile support tool needs the phone to be in normal mode (generaly...).
No SW or other, just turn ON your phone and connect it to PC.

Take out the battery, wait 30 sec. and put it back, press vol- and connect to PC while pressing.
Nothing is working
I don't get the SW upgrade screen when connecting to PC, the phone is an "Unknown device" og named APX under device manager, and the KDZ program cannot find the device.
Is it any other tings I can try?
so if its apx, you can simple flash it via APX mode with nvflash, right ?
(i remember when i rooting my Optimus 2X via APX , that flashed prerooted system.img... so you can try this method)

No. That just leads me to the LG Mobile Support tool, and it can't do anything.
Did you try to get SW upgrade with battery in? (I had the same problem)
Yes.
I have tried both with the battry in the phone and taken it out

Already reinstalled the driver on the PC but not accomplish anything. Trying to install the original rom by LG flash tools but it does not recognize. I tried to get into recovery mode but nothing. Help please !!:crying::crying::crying:

Weird how your phone makes you get a blue screen of death.
Can you say what it writes in blue screen? And also try your luck on another PC.My sister's laptop could not recognize my phone no matter what I did.
Blue screen is most likely due to some broken software/hardware on your PC rather than a problem with your phone itself.So do try it on another PC.
Can you also say, how it doesn't go into recovery mode? When you hold vol - plus power, does it make the phone reboot, vibrating but still stuck on LG screen or does it not even vibrate?

don't worry, the problem is your PC not your phone
try this 2 fix your pc:
start CMD with administrator privilege -->
chkdsk /f /r -->press enter --> Y
restart the computer, if you lucky it will fix you pc and you will be able 2 fix your phone
(the fix/test take 1-2 hours, depending on how big your HD and if you have errors/bads ectors)
if you r not lucky, you probably have driver collision and it more tricky 2 explain how 2 fix.
anyway, if you in a hurry do it in another computer

its very strange that u got blue screens in both computers.....
the error code that u gave usually points that something wrong with mscorsvw.exe and/or NET framework.
i would recommend to update to the latest NET framework or even uninstall it and install it again.
Another good idea is 2 install the Android SDK (it installs a universal usb driver), this might help - ill try this before reinstalling NET frame.
i hope it helps...
Hello, I have a Verizon LG G2 that is stuck in download mode. I was trying to unroot my phone using this method:
theunlockr(dot)com/2013/10/31/unroot-lg-g2-verizon/
Then, at step 12, where it was flashing the stock image, it stopped and got stuck.
I have tried using the LG Mobile Support Tool to restore my phone, but the process gets stuck on 10% and gives me an error. I have tried to install the drivers, but adb never recognizes my phone. I have a second LG G2 that adb did recognize, but it doesn't recognize the one in download mode. I am unable to access recovery via adb or button combinations. Every time i turn the phone off it goes straight back into download mode only when it's plugged in, otherwise it goes black and the only thing it does is vibrate when I hold down the power button. I don't know what else to try, what should I do?
Thanks.
Edit: the LG Mobile Support Tool recognizes my device as "LGVS980" and the Software Version as "VS98024A."
I have a Verizon LG G2. It was rooted with stump root. I mistakenly did an OTA update recently. Now i am getting the LG logo then fastboot mode started. I did NOT install any custom recovery. I have tried to get into download mode with Volume up and plugging in USB and it goes back to fastboot mode. Ive also brought up the hard reset screen and proceeded to erase all user data and it goes back to fastboot mode. Im using a Dell 64 bit with Windows 8.1. It will not recognise my phone at all. Ive spent 3 days on every site i could find. Ive downloaded every LG Driver + erase all drivers on the Computer. Im not to savy with files and promts etc. I just recently downloaded a UniversalAdbDriverSetup.msi. Nothing either. Please help
