Hello All,
I have mistakenly flash something wrong into recovery and now ADB Mode in my phone no longer working either from Odin or ADB sideload from Recovery mode. I was trying to use some new custom ROM and suddenly I have faced this issue. I tried a lot of solutions here on XDA but none of them worked at the moment.
After flashing wrong thing in the recovery I feel something different running behind the recovery because when I goto recovery mode I actually see two different android logo one is a bit modern which giving me advanced and my original recovery working together which caused adb no longer detected from PC.
Anyone can help me?
Have you tried removing battery and cable for ~1minute?
Yes, I have pulled off the battery and put it back again. But still adb giving no response and my USB cable is working perfectly via Odin. Any suggestion?
Thank God, I have fixed ADB detecting issue myself. Here is what I did:
1- Install CWM recovery using Odin
2- Install the file below. I think its EFS repair file. but after installing below md5 file using Odin it really worked for me.
Thank you!
After Flashing param_bin_i9305.zip my EFS mounting failed issue is also fixed. Right now, I am getting mounting firmware failed in CWM. If this fixes I hope my SAMSUNG SC-03E will start working again.

I had rooted my phone previously running 2.1 and yesterday decided to try cm7. (I've flashed many G1 roms but none for Captivate)
Sorry this is quite long but wanted to give as much detail as possible
I was reading and watching the guides. Installed rom manager and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.0
Rebooted the phone and tried to see if I can get into download mode by holding vol up + down and plugging the USB cable.
Once it booted tried to copy some other roms (zips) to the phone but the USB wasn't working on windows for some reason so rebooted in Linux. Phone mounted at first (for about a minute) but something happen and I lost the mount. I unplugged/plugged the usb cable but wasn't able see the phone as a drive even with fdisk.
So I ftped to the phone:
3buttonFix.zip
captivate-efsbackup.zip
cm7-captivate-initial-20110304.zip
speedmod-kernel-i897-k13c-500hz-CWM.zip
Installed 3buttonFix.zip (should let me enter download mode) from recovery, rebooted but still couldn't get in download mode.
Installed speedmod-kernel-i897-k13c-500hz-CWM.zip from recovery. Not sure if I had to do anything special like reformat the filesystem with the new kernel?
After reboot the phone gets stuck on Galaxy S sgh-i897 screen. Got back in recovery and installed captivate-efsbackup.zip and cm7-captivate-initial-20110304.zip
The cm7-captivate-initial-20110304.zip fails when trying to write the modem
'assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/modem.bin", "radio")'
I plugged the phone into another computer at that point and was able to get into "Download mode" for the first time. Odin didn't recognize the phone though. Download mode is very flaky. It starts sometimes, sometimes it doesn't (battery charger starts) even on the same port with the same cable. I have tried installing captivate drivers and/or kies on 7 different systems (5 laptops 2 desktops) but Odin never recognizes the phone and windows trows out a "USB Device Not Recognized" msg
I think my usb is not working properly but the guides how to recover assume working Download mode with Odin. Any suggestions on what to do for that? Or I guess I can download a different rom and/or kernel on my sdcard than mount the sdcard through recovery and install that way?
Any advise is appreciated as I'm not very familiar with the kernel and rom differences for captivate
Well you messed up on the instructions but that is a separate point.
I went through your post quickly so if I am saying something you grave tried I apologize
What drivers are you installing
Have you tried multiple ports
Are you using oem cord
Have you restarted your computer
Have you ever used odin before
CM7
I have used the following drivers:
SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2.zip
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe (just the usb modem driver)
2 different versions of samsung kies which include usb drivers (don't have the software versions handy but I can get them if that will help)
Ports:
Multiple computer and multiple ports. Will try few more options
Cables:
Used 3 different usb cables. 1 of them is from a BB phone. 1 of the other 2 is the one which came with the captivate (not 100% sure though)
Reboots:
4 of the 7 computers I tried on were rebooted. One version of kies requires this anyhow.
Odin:
Haven't used Odin at all. I think when the phone gets connected and odin recognizes it one of the top left blocks changes color right ? I tried to flash even when it didn't (just to make sure I wasn't missing something) and saw 0 successful / 0 failed
Do you have android sdk installed on any of the computers?
CM7
So many red flags that something wasn't right with your phone and you still tried to flash it? I just don't get it.
@Miami_Son: Yeah but i'm too thick headed - living dangerously but yeah you're right.
@mcord11758: I have android sdk installed on my linux build at home. I'll put it on a windows system at work and see if it can see the phone. Anything in particular I should do / look out for ?
At least you've got a good attitude.
I think if you have kies installed it conflicts with the samsung drivers odin uses. Try uninstalling them and flash odin.

Try this first
Sdk to install updated drivers if this fails
CM7
I've done almost the exact same thing...having the same issues. Phone would not connect to computer. Other captivates connect fine. The phone is now stuck on a boot screen and I can put it into download mode but Odin or the computer will not detect it at all. I don't think I can get into recovery mode, nor can I get into a rom...pretty much just download mode or a boot screen.
@1tontomato: Tried uninstall kies, reboot, install samsung usb drivers, reboot still don't see the phone connected in odin
@mcord11758 The sdk is trying to download the repository directly and I'm behidn a proxy server at work. I'll update tonight, it will be most likely very late by the time I get home.
@kwhee07 Yeah sux to see a download mode but not being able to download. I can get at least into recovery so I guess I can at least flash something that way. The ports really make difference, I've seen many would just charge the phone and some will get your phone into download mode at least. Try a different pc and cable if you can.
I have the sdk...I've tried about everything else I can find. Is there a possible method of fixing this via the SDK? I feel like if I could make the computer force [odins] data out the usb port, it would work, the phone would be in download mode awaiting data....but I cant get odin to see it
There is a package you can install in sdk for usb drivers. Dl it
Open odin
Get into dl mode
Unknown device pops up
Click on it
choose custom drivers
Navigate to c drive/program files/android/extras/google add ons/usb click ok (the path may be slightly different) the computer should try to install the correct drivers
If it works odin should now recognize your device. If not I got nothing
CM7
Got the USB drivers from the SDK and tried to force them when it sees an unknown device, but I get "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware"
I tried to force it to use the samsung drivers also but without success.
Is it possible to just download a rom or kernel and update my current state? So that the phone at least boots. I can install stuff through recovery. Download mode is nice and everything but I'm giving up on it, don't have any more ideas to try
I have been trying to see data on my sdcard from ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.0 I go to
Mounts and Storage -> mount /mnt/sdcard
Install *.zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard
I don't see /mnt at all I try and go under sd/ but it says No files found.

Under mounts and storage do you see the option for mount usb this might be able to force your computer to see it as a removable drive. If out does you should be able to copy another rom to the sd and flash. This may or may not work for you because you might still need to repartition which you only do with odin. Take this advise with extreme caution I really think you need odin If you do decide to flash another rom, use cognition because Dg's includes the fixed boot.bin. Probably because so many people use the one click and kill their button combos and don't know it. Other devs don't include it in their roms, because it's dangerous to over write something that doesn't need to be overwritten. Good luck

I tried already the usb mount option from recovery at home and now at work also on few different systems/ports including a linux machine. I don't see the drive connected.
My only option left is to get somehow the sdcard mounted and install a rom from there. Or maybe just repartitioning/changing the filesystem might fix the getting stuck problem.
I ended up bringing my phone back to att, and they said that the 1010 batch was under product advisory..they exchanged my phone with almost no questions asked.
Now i have a 1008 and am running CM7
Finishing up the story in case it might help somebody in the feature.
I called AT&T to get my phone replaced and it turns out it has liquid dmg. There's a little white sticky that turns red when there's liquid dmg. Mine was pink but wasn't wait so no warranty for me. Turns out most of the time people get liquid dmg is if they leave the phone in the bathroom or close to the kitchen's sink, which is kinda bs but whatever.
I've tried few more times. Tried even on a Mac and on a Linux system (using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265 )
I was about to give up and go seek one of the 'professional rooters' but last thing I tried was to use an 'air duster' and clean the usb port on my phone. After that Odin was able to see my phone. The connection was dropping on/off but it successfully finished a flash.
Not sure if I should even try to put another rom or the official froyo update but at least for now I'm up and running
Thanks all
Hi everyone
So here it is : No program is able to recognize/detect my Galaxy S i9000M (Bell Vibrant) when it's in download mode, so I can't flash any ROM. My phone is currently fully bricked and unusable. I cannot access to the recovery mode with the three-button thingy or by "adb reboot recovery"
I bricked using Odin 1.8, trying to flash a 2.2 froyo stock ROM from Samfirmware. The flashing went ok, but it failed to reboot. Actually, the screen was turned off and nothing was happening. I figured out it was fully bricked so I made a USB JIG, it worked. I can access my download mode.
I connected the phone to my Windows 7 computer and used Odin to flash back to 2.1 Eclair, with a stock ROM from Samfirmware. It failed (I don't remember the error message, it was a couple days ago...).
I tried with Heimdall Frontened. It had a problem uploading the .pit file, so the flashing didn't work.
Now each time i connect the phone to my computer, Windows (and Heimdall frontened and Odin) doesn't detect it,which means that I can't flash anything on it even though it is in download mode.
I have tried reinstalling like every driver on earth, still not responding.
I tried on another Windows 7 machine and on Ubuntu, the device is not detected.
I tried with different USB cables, nothing happens.
This is my hypothesis (maybe silly) : Could the problem be the Download mode being corrupted?
Whatever... I could use some help from you guys.
Thank you,
Sam
I had/have the same problem.
I installed the Samsung Kies and now my computer recognize my phone again.
But I have still no idea what I need to flash to make my phone working.

That is strange... I tried installing Kies and it didn't detect the phone. And you could just flash any 2.3 stock ROM with Odin I guess.
Hi,
I actually have a really really weird issue with my I9000.
I was trying to recover it fro the known mmcblk0p1 issue.
So I went back to stock firmware even if I knew it would bootloop. All good.
After some days I discovered that I can access either stock recovery and download mode, but the last one won't connect to my computer!!!
I tried a lot of things: changing cable, usb ports, os, computer etc.... nothing works cause the problem is inside the i9000.
So, I'm now thinking in flashing something from the 3e stock recovery, which is the only option I have before a trash the phone...
What do I have to flash? Kernel? Can somebody link me a solution?
Thanx and Happy easter!!!1

Hi Foongaz,
Have you tried using the latest version of Odin? The bootloop is likely caused from a problem with the installation of the rom/kernel or from forgetting to factory reset and wiping cache.
Hope this helps

Hi,
Thanx for the answer.
I tried also Odin 3.09 and 3.07.
My problem now it's not the bootloop but the download mode which is not recognized from the computer.
Odin and Heimdall are probably not a usable tool here.
The only thing which works is the stock recovery, so I may have to install something via update.zip

I see that there is a problem with the i9000 where odin can not detect the device once your phone has been flashed several times. This has happened to my phone before and heimdall (via cmd command) seemed to do the trick. I haven't tried flashing a rom via the stock recovery as the phone needs to be rooted beforehand. You can try renaming zip and flash it but I doubt that this will fix your problem. Try heimdall first, download the latest heimdall suite. Make sure you have the latest usb drivers for your phone using zadig. Then download the latest semaphore kernel which is a .tar folder and inside should have zImage. Move the zImage file into the extracted heimdall folder. Follow the guide over at Cyanogenmod: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd

Same problem as Odin and Heimdall (suite and frontend):
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.
This happens with three computers: macbook, imac and parallels windows with odin. None of them can recognize I'm in download mode. WTF....
I'm thinking about throw the phone or maybe buying a i9000 broken glass one.
BTW I tried also to rename a .zip file but nothing works, I guess also for the mmc01 problem...
I'm lost....

Can you provide some pictures or screenshots on the problems you are experiencing? Your phone is probably screwed but I will try my best to help you anyway.

I guess this is the only pic which makes sense to provide.
As u can see, I can wipe and reset to data factory, but i cannot format internal SD.
Update.zip won't install for this reason of course....
My last thought is: and if I format an Ext SD with these partitions?
-1 reiser
-1 fat fot OS
-1 fat fot update.zip
will the stock recovery let me install the OS on the external SD?
thanx

I know I may sound a little stupid here, but if you have an SD card, try reflashing Stock firmware after removing your SD Card through Heimdall. That fixed my problem. Also, You could always try going to the nearest Samsung Service Center. They always fix your stuff. They'll fix your issue for $3
Before you take it to the nearest Samsung Service Center try this, remove battery and simcard then hold buttons for download mode then replace battery while holding buttons.
EDIT: sorry didn't read all the post, so you can get into download mode but your computer doesn't recognize it.
Hi there.
I recently flashed the OmniROM to my i8190, but since it got several issues, after two weeks i decided to flash stock ROM.
So i enter TWRP recovery and wipe all data on the smartphone, but then my computer crashed and lost the VM that got Odin and drivers etc. so in a new VM i decided to try to flash, but now i can't.
Odin doesn't recognize my i8190, i thought ADB sideload could do the trick following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200but all i got was:
error: device not found
Now i ended up with a pretty brick hahaha.
How can i flash a ROM ..ANY to my phone.
I got another i8190 so i installed the drivers from it to the VM, all except the MTP device, that got error.
I also installed SAMSUNG drivers, but nothing, ... i'm kind of losing it now hahaha.
Can someone helpe me flash this thing?
a) I CAN enter TWRP Recovery
b) I CAN enter Download Mode
c) Don't know if Odin doesn't pick it up since USB Debug i presume it's not on, but then again, since no OS is installed, i don't know how to turn it on from recovery or something like it.

Try another usb port and/or another usb cable. Also make sure that nothing with kies is runnung in background if you happens to have that installed.
When you connect with adb, also take a look on your phone screen if it asks for authorization to connect.
You got both download and recovery so problem is with connection/drivers.

Try this :
If you have an external sdcard in your s3 mini then :
1. remove it and put it into a other phone
2. download a ROM and move the ROM what you downloaded to your external sdcard
3. Put the external sdcard back to your s3 mini
4. Go to recovery and choose "install from external sdcard"
5. And intstall the ROM
6. Done! You have a OS again.
It's very easy and if you don't have a external sdcard then you have a big problem bro

If you have an adapter (micro SD to SD) then you should be able to insert the card into a card reader. This will probably be easier than trying to find another phone.

Finally i change the usb driver, installed Kies again and voilá! Odin picked up the phone and flash were on .
Thanks to all.
Glad you've got it sorted.
I've noticed my PC wants to install drivers for the phone almost constantly. Every small change seems to result in a change of driver. It can be frustrating.

due to windows updates this should be expected that certain third party software like the drivers would need updates
so that leaves two choices
either keep your stuff up to date
or
get left behind and drowned in problems
I replaced recovery from twrp v3.0.0 to stock recovery using its image and my phone is in bootloop and when I boot my phone it shows the first screen . After a lot of research I found its the bootloop.
But the main problem is that SP flash tool cannt detect my phone so I am unable to flash it again and install new recovery in it. I have installed k3 note manager, pda net ,ADB driver and many other but still it's not working.
Can anyone help me out regarding this problem

Hi mate..
Don't worry if your phone is stuck in a boot loop. Remove the battery, put it back again and connect your phone to PC with the SP tool loaded with TWRP in download(connect phone after clicking download button). This should install recovery on your phone. In case if this does not work, try other methods over the internet.
If any of the methods don't work, then download a stock ROM from needrom and flash it using SP flash tool. Note that this will erase the data stored in nvram (imei, mac, s/n). I assume that u have taken a backup before. Please do consider this as ur last step if anything does not work
Thanks and good luck...
