Current Scenario:
Phone is stuck at AT&T screen. Can get to download mode. XP cannot installing drivers.
Questions:
Has anyone encountered anything like this? I know some people report issue with some data cables not being able to connect. But I am surprised I can get to download mode with it so am questioning if the cable could be the issue. Could it be a bad port? Since my original cable has gone bad could it have messed up my port? I saw a posts about this but no follow up.
Notes:
Cognition 2.3b6
USB Drivers from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989) I've obviously have been able to connect prior to these issues to upgrade my ROM.
Kies and Kies Mini were previously installed. I since deleted since having these issues.
Uninstalled iTunes as suggested in other posts.
History:
My phone is stuck at the AT&T boot screen. Using my original Samsung cable I could not get my phone into download mode. So I went out and made the jig to get it into download mode. This worked but win XP won't recognize the phone once I put my original cable in. I realized that my original cable might be internally frayed, so I went out and bought a generic USB cable. Now I can get my phone into download mode (without using the jig) which shows that my original cable has been damaged at some point. This would also explain that when my phone is off and I plugged it in using the old cable the phone would turn on.
Anyway, using this new generic cable, XP/ODIN won't recognize my phone. When trying to put it in download mode (two button/insert cable/no SIM/no SD), I see XP popup: Found New Hardware, USB device, Samsung USB Composite Device, USB device, Samsung USB Composite Device, then get the Found New Hardware Wizard with message Cannot Install the Hardware, problem installing this hardware: USB Device.
Thanks in advance.
Oh and not sure if it matters but I cannot get into recover mode either. Cannot get past AT&T boot screen.
Um... make sure you remove all traces of the Kies stuff.
Re-install USB drivers over the top of the existing ones.
I might suggest buying a "sumsung" cable from an AT&T dealer.
AND - make sure your using the USB port that is on your mobo - apparently it makes a difference.
I had my phone in a "bricked" state and had to re-install drivers on my Win7 box. it found the phone and recognized it enough for ODIN to start up.
Also.... to find out if the phone is being recognized - I would recommend d/l'ing the Android SDK and doing the ADB command - adb devices and see what pops up.
Heh - last thing.. please say you had the phone in "USB Debugging" mode before things went south?
Here's a link to a thread containing another variant of the Captivate USB Drivers:
http://androidforums.com/captivate-.../123644-captivate-usb-drivers-links-here.html
I can't remember which I used, but if the above suggestions don't work for you, it won't hurt to try these!
And for what it's worth, I don't believe the problem to be within the USB cable. I use everything EXCEPT the Samsung USB cable. Anything from Monoprice.com cables, to my old Blackberry cable... A MicroUSB cable is just that...generic or not. As long as it's a 5 pin cable, you should be good.

Uninstalled and deleted program files/samsung/kies*. Would I need to look through registry as well?

Done. Multiple times. Even tried drivers from Samsung support site. Currently I'm using the ones from the Stock ODIN thread. (Uninstalled all. Rebooted. Installed drivers from ODIN thread. Rebooted.)

Called AT&T said they didn't carry any data/sync USB cables. Which I found was odd. Have one coming from Amazon soon that looks-like and is listed to be OEM.

Upgraded to Cog v2.3b6 before things went south. I normally keep USB Debugging mode as defaulted. Wondering if the update would have caused it to be unchecked. I think I checked that once and rarely make changes. Either way, are you suggesting that if that option is not set that I am pretty much hosed?
@norcal einstein: I will have to try your suggestion from a new machine. My work just locked (McAfee) our machines due to virus going around.
Hi there ... I've run into this similar problem before.. The link you posted's instructions:
"plug usb then open odin"
NO!!!!
#1 odin oneclick must be open before you connect your phone. (and i didnt see in previous posts that you did this?)
Here's the rest....
From a soft-bricked state the Samsung I897 displays a "gadget" screen involving
icons of a phone + exclamation + computer. It is still possible to boot into download mode from this point (which is before the att logo) there your phone can.
Apparently you've been able to get into download mode .
When my phone was soft-bricked and I finally figured out how to put it in download mode I got the "gadget serial device driver not found" bs. I had already opened odin-oneclick and it said "added". So I tried and it worked.
There is no better source for drivers than the manufacturer. So i suggest using those drivers instead. Also the usb port on a captivate IS a generic usb plug.... it's just offset to the side a little bit to add STYLE.
Thanks to everyone that replied. I just want to provide a my resolution for others that might be search for similar issues.
My Captivate is now back up and running. Loaded with Cog2.3b6.
The generic cable proved not to be the issue. I know some people reported having issues with cables but I believe as long as the cable is labeled to be a sync or data cable you should be fine. Avoid the charger cables as it will be just that - a charger cable only.
The jig worked like a charm to get to download mode. Just connect the two leads (4 and 5; closest to the center of the phone) using 301k resistors worked. I used 3x100k and 1x1k. Although, I later learned that my OEM cable went bad on me and just getting a new cable I can get into download mode fine. If some of you are having issues might want to consider keeping a extra cable just to rule out cable issues before trying out the jig. The jig IS very easy to do but finding a micro-b USB plug or adapter that gives easy access to the 4 and 5 leads might be hard.
Out of ideas what was wrong (being stuck at AT&T boot screen, being able to get to download mode, my laptop not being able to detect my phone) I borrowed a laptop running Vista. This worked! Vista and ODIN detected my phone and I was able to get back to stock.
So still not sure what's wrong with MY laptop. Hoping to get it resolved by the time they get the AT&T Froyo update out. But I am very much guessing our tech department tightening up McAfee restrictions (like being able to download exe(cutables) might be the culprit. I will have them remove the restrictions so I can re-install the USB drivers and see if that works.
If you are looking for instructions for how to get download / ODIN working, all the instructions from all the many threads work. I will not repeat those instructions here. But a couple notes: I didn't find any difference with leaving SIM card in or out. Might be best to just leave it out. I've tried both inserting cable last and inserting battery last. Both ways works. So if you can't get one way working chances are you probably won't be able to get it working the other way either. I personally use the battery first, both volume buttons then cable. Once I had to wait 10 mins before getting it to work. That was probably once in about 10 times I've done download mode.
And BIKERBOY8989 is correct, if you can get to the AT&T boot screen chances are you SHOULD be able to get into download mode. Might want to check cables and/or try on another machine. As I mentioned already.
Good luck!!!
I flashed this ROM as per instructions in the thread and after enabling fast charge, my usb port seems broken.
The ROM uses semaphore kernel and I enabled fast charging using semaphore script app. I tried it out and disabled it from the same app. It still shows disabled but neither of my computers will recognize my device (winXP and win7, neither one makes the typical sound when the phone is plugged in).
I have 3 data cables that all work fine on my Gateway tablet (acer iconia clone) on both computers, so I feel very certain that it is the device.
Some things I have tried so far to fix it based on various forum digging;
-enabled and disabled USB debugging mode (apparently usbd has to be on for mass storage mode in ICS)
-wiped NSTools settings with CMW recovery
-tried turning off fast charge with NSTools app ( cannot find it as an option)
-tried some command in Terminal Emulator ( su, then echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge?blah blah I forget what the exact command lines were but they were not successful)
-restored Nandroid backup of prior cm7 (almost shat as I bootlooped going back again to this ics ROM since I cannot use ODIN to fix it)
Thankfully I am running the ROM I believe I will stay with for awhile, I can access my phone with airdroid and I recall reading about a wifi adb one time but having USB Mass storage again would be a huge plus!
Yes I realize that I was stupid to enable Fast Charge mode that has in capital letters beneath the checkbox-USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!! But if anyone can help me I would be eternally grateful, I will even send you some beer money or donate to the charity of your choice as I am completely stumped by this problem.
Cheers
well FML if it wasn't the data cable. I have multiple LG and Blackberry cables that work with every other device in the household (we have 7 or 8 total devices).
I found my Samsung cable under the couch and gave it a try, and it worked. I must have flashed with ODIN the first time using the samsung cable and didn't take note of which one I used. The only difference between the Samsung cable is that the micro-usb end of it really snaps into place one plugged into an actual Samsung device.
I hope somebody is helped by this in the future. When you think you have tried everything (including turning it off and on again ), try another data cable.

Also having this issue with Semaphore and fast charge. Will try another cable. Dirty flashed AOKP to the stock kernel that has no fast charge option and it still doesn't work. Searching for my samsung cable right now. Sadly this BB microUSB cable was the only one that worked with odin with no issue.
Hi, did you find any solution to this issue? I've been experiencing the same problem on my Nexus 4
Edit: Okay. Just read your post properly to find out that using a different cable solved your problem. But mine just won't work no matter what cable I use
Hi,
I connected my note 5 to my laptop today, and surprise surprise, it is no longer recognized by the PC (though it charges). It used to be fine, I don't know what changed!
I tried different cables, different USB ports and different laptops
I tried to plug it in normal mode, safe mode, recovery mode and download mode
I tried switching USB debugging on/off
I tried the *#0808# menu, and I tried MTP+ADB and CP options
I uninstalled drivers from the PC and installed the latest from the samsung website
I tried both kies and smart switch
nothing worked! I am not doing a factory reset because I have seen many people do it for other devices and none of them solved it this way! I'm waiting for the Marshmallow update, maybe it will fix this annoying issue. Meanwhile do you have any other ideas guys?

hi,
you don't say what Laptop o/s you using on laptop.?
Windows 10, Windows 8.1 Windows 8 or Windows 7...... or Apple o/s.?
Briefly my take is on this is, most probably the laptop and not phone.?
(Yes, i might be wrong of course.)
My reason is, i have Windows 10 laptop
and sometimes / a few time, ) my
laptop does not recognize my Note5
Yes, , it charges phone (just like yours) but does not recognize phone.!
I then have to re install drivers for phone I use Smart Switch to re install drivers.
Then it works ok for a while etc..
Why don't you test phone on someone else's pc or laptop to make sure.?
Overall my Note5 is mostly recognized by laptop
Good luck

Thank you for the reply.
As I have already mentioned, I did try another laptop. Mine is windows 8.1 x64 and my brother's windows 10 x64. I tried re installing the drivers from smart switch but to no avail.
Any other ideas?

hi ,
why i still think its laptop /pc drivers related.
(But yes ,i might be completely wrong ..?)
i have laptop win 10 x64 also.
The issue is of laptop, not always recognizing a device /similar as yours ,but charging device .
Other devices, when trying to connect to laptop (,not just my Note5 ),( from time to time) eg Note 2,..3 ..4 , USB flashstick ..my Polar M400 running watch etc .Device is not recognized but charging .
So for me,
its just not Note 5 but other devices also (.from time to time) .
My "take " on this issue is that it points between drivers (pc ,laptop) //// relevant devices eg Note 5 ..etc . and not just the firmware issue of Note 5 ,??
but yes, as stated i might be wrong .
good luck
Post note ,
i have to add reinstalling drivers "sometimes " help " ,
but it happens again, later. ( not recognizing device )
So i am pointing fingers, at Windows o/s + the "company/maker " of laptop ..pc and + devices .The compatibility between all three above ,combined and yes i had similar issues ( from time to time with Win 8 ../Win 8.1 etc ).
Yet, i have also found that certain of my devices
that work nearly 100% of time on my laptop !,
which indicates to me, the compatibility of devices between device /laptop ,is very good ..??
I have a note 2 and it works every time when I plug it to either pc. My laptop is lenovo with all the latest drivers. Hopefully, marshmallow will address this issue because otherwise, this means that I can't root my device.

Pull down notification menu while phone is plugged in and there should be a option for changing from charge mode to mtp and such. Just pull down notification and tap on the biodiversity that's lasted.

hi ,
strange ,
just for the record i also have a Lenovo Flex 2 laptop ( x64 ) Win 10 .!!!
i have rooted all my devices on Lenovo laptop ( Note 2, Note 3 , Note 4 and my Note 8.0 tablet etc )
Yet , i am at moment not interested in rooting my Note5 ( i have it already a couple of months )
I am happy keeping myself busy with Theme store ,tweaks/beta apps and lately with the interesting Lockmaster app( Play store ) for lockscreen ... etc .
If i get the root "urge " i pick up my other rooted devices and use them .or /update or/ install root only tweaks/apps etc. for my rooted devices .!!
i hope Marshmallow fixes your issues .!!
good luck

Edit: Never mind that. I see what you mean. That's odd it's not there for you. It definitely sounds like a PC issue. You can try completely removing all Samsung drivers and start over. Just using the Uninstaller will not cut it though. You'll have to do a system level cleaning of all samsung drivers.

The issue is not with your device. It's because of Windows. Is there another computer that you can use to connect your device to that you have never connected to before? Also make sure that you are using either the cable that came with your device, or at least a good quality cable. I've had that issue occur in the past because I was using a cheap cable.

I did plug it in my brother's laptop but no dice. I tried the OEM cable and an Asus cable on USB 2 and 3 ports, it did not work on either pc. How can I completely uninstall samsung drivers?
For users having the same issue, I found a solution (which also fixes all charging issues by the way).
If you look at the charging port, you will see a "tongue" where the pins connect. We all know that fast charging requires 5 pins not 4. The OEM cable comes with 5 as you all know. However, I found the OEM cable to be very fragile and not reliable, one pin tends to get bent without much pressure. This leads to the "tongue" going down somehow. The fix is to get the "tongue" up a bit, use a toothpick or something that does not conduct power. As for the cable, I suggest you use an Asus cable (I have 3 of those, 2 from my nexus 7s and 1 from my Zenwatch). Asus cables come with 5 pins and they are sturdier than Samsung's and they are a bit longer as well. Now the phone charges properly, fast charging and all and the computer recognizes it once again.
Hope this helps you too

I'm having this same problem these same problems. Other then I'm not able to get it to recognize even after doing everything that was said to do in this thread.
I feel like I'm missing a file? I was messing with them and just may think that could be my problem. is there anything else that has not been said in this thread I could do to fix this problem? When connected to my computer it recognize it as a charger. I can't access my files from my computer to my phone.
any help would be very helpful! Thanks!
I'm having the exact same problem but now I tried to use Flashify to go back to original recovery instead of TWRP & now by recovery or boot IMG is screwed so it wont even boot to recovery..
It boots only to download mode & is not recognized by any PC we have, with every cable I've tried.. uhhgggggg
I was having the same issue. Here is what solved it for me:
• Disconnect the usb cable.
• Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\Hardware and Sound
o Go down to device / hardware and devices – click on that
o Follow instructions to correct issues. This found I needed a bus device driver update.
o Let it update and once done go out.
• On PC - Go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings - go down until you get to the part that says "All Networks" ...expand the list by clicking on the arrow to the right. In this area you will see "Media Streaming" There should be an area highlighted in blue that says "Choose media streaming options" click on that. Make sure you "allow all" . Once that is done, click "ok" at the bottom. Plug your device into the usb and it should be recognized. Seems a recent Windows update has that filter off.
• Now, restart your computer.
• Use original usb cord that came with phone! Plug in phone then plug in usb to computer.
• It should recognize your device now.
I now have to restart computer every time I want to connect my device but it works.
Hi I am having that same problem with my note 4. It doesn't seem to be a pc problem as no pc at all none Nada recognizes the phone. Windows 7 to Windows 10. None. Used 2 workmates of mine who also have note 4s on my laptop and all the laptops i used i used their phine on itand they worked so blaming the pc seems to be out of the equation..your solution and all those settings have been untouched as it has all devices allowed ..... tried cleaning the connectors and also different oem cables to no avail ..The only thing I have not done is change the logic board
Hi I hope somebody can help me. I am having exactly the same issue. though I don't think its PC or Laptop problem. I have two Note 5 the other one is working just fine, while the other Note 5 that was just charging was connected I noticed that running *#0808# I can select AP and CP but MTP+ADP was not selected and if I try selecting the radio button I will be able to but after pressing Ok or Reboot it back to no selection at all. Which I observe on my other Note 5 that was working its always selected every time I run *#0808#.
One more thing noticed is that on the Note 5 that was not working I boot it download (ODIN) mode and connect back to USB of my PC and Laptop, I hear a sound (the typical sound in windows once you connect any USB device) though I cannot access it I am positive that my USB port on both device are in good condition and since it was detected in windows through ODIN boot mode I was under the impression that its a phone software/firmware related. Can somebody help me on this one? thanks
I have researched the issue of my Note 5just being able to slow charge via USB, and not be able to do anything else. I have tried all the proposed solutions I found, but can not fix the issue. The things that I have noticed to not work are:
Fast Charge: Cable and USB charging is detected, but cannot fast charge. I have tried the same charger and cable on other S7 edge, and it able to Fast charge. Fast charging is enabled in the battery menu
Connect to PC: Whenever connected to any PC, the PC shows “USB Device Not Recognized." I have the latest version of Smart Switch and the latest drivers. I have tried multiple computers and windows 7, 8 and 10. I have also tried to connect to the PC when the phone is in Download and Recovery mode and get the same error.
Connect to any OTG peripheral: Nothing is detected by the Note 5. Same cable working on other device.
Connect to Gear VR: When connecting to Gear VR, it gives the chime, the black screen with the little x in the corner appears for a second and then it goes back to the home screen.
What I have tried to do to fix:
Different cables/chargers/USB ports
Checked if any of the 5 pins are broken in the cable
I have lifted the tongue of the charging port in the phone via tooth pick
Done a factory reset
Any insight on this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks

Have you tried different 2A charging bricks? A regular 1A charger would still take a long time to fully chargeNote5.
You could also be looking a bad USB-port or a faulty battery, both of which would be covered under warranty provided no large physical damage is evident on your device.
Thanks for the reply. I have tried the original Samsung charger, 2A, 1A, and 0.5A charging bricks, but the phone shows either Cable or USB charging.
About the faulty battery, will that cause the PC and other peripherals to not detect the phone?

Connect to Gear VR: When connecting to Gear VR, it gives the chime, the black screen with the little x in the corner appears for a second and then it goes back to the home screen.
What I have tried to do to fix:
Different cables/chargers/USB ports
Checked if any of the 5 pins are broken in the cable
I have lifted the tongue of the charging port in the phone via tooth pick
Done a factory reset
Any insight on this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks

Same happened to me two days ago. I restored an old backup, done a factory reset and restored my actual rom again and problem solved. Idk what the problem was related to. Try wiping cache again, maybe it helps.

I have done a wipe from TWRP, but the issue was not fixed. I can not change ROMs etc as I can not connect the Note 5 to the PC via USB cable, even in TWRP.
Was your phone just not Fast Charging, or it wasn't being recognized by the PC, etc.
Thanks
Actually y have the same problem, unfortunately I don't have root access.
Try the app called USB host check, maybe they can help you.
Is not possible to me because the PC don't detect the phone connection and obviously I can't make the root.

I have researched the issue of my Note 5just being able to slow charge via USB, and not be able to do anything else. I have tried all the proposed solutions I found, but can not fix the issue. The things that I have noticed to not work are:
Fast Charge: Cable and USB charging is detected, but cannot fast charge. I have tried the same charger and cable on other S7 edge, and it able to Fast charge. Fast charging is enabled in the battery menu
Connect to PC: Whenever connected to any PC, the PC shows “USB Device Not Recognized." I have the latest version of Smart Switch and the latest drivers. I have tried multiple computers and windows 7, 8 and 10. I have also tried to connect to the PC when the phone is in Download and Recovery mode and get the same error.

I have the same issue tried the same fixes. No luck. Have you found a solution please?
I ultimately had to change the motherboard. Changing the charging port did nothing.
However, I suspect it was a corrupted firmware. If you can somehow flash a latest stock firmware and check, that would be great.
In trying to fix the firmware I had corrupted Stock ROM. Since I could only use WiFi to transfer files via WiFi FTP type apps, and I didn't have a working ROM backup on my phone, after the Stock ROM was corrupted, I could not upload any new files to flash with TWRP so I had to change the motherboard.

If you see the "USB Device Not Recognized" message when you connect to the PC, then I think the charging port is fine. It is some issue with the firmware as phone is not able to provide the correct PID and VID to the peripheral devices to identify itself. The charging port and its circuit doesn't hold that info. If possible, try to flash a stock firmware from TWRP as ODIN will not work (I am not aware of the exact procedure). Just MAKE SURE you have make a backup of your current setup and leave it on the phone as if you have an unsuccessful flash, you will not be able to use ODIN or ADB as your cable will not work.

I've messed up, I've already clear the cache, Dalvik , Data and System without having backup Rom/firmware in my internal memory. I've try using OTG. Still no hope. Twrp won't regconized it. :crying:
If there no hope to solve this... I think ,I will sell my note5 for replacement parts , sadly.

I got into the same problem. I then ordered a replacement motherboard from China and installed it. After that it is working flawlessly.
I'm in same predicament pc won't recognize phone and charging is extremely slow. Attempting to restore old twrp backup or flash older firmware. Crossing fingers

Are you still interested in selling the phone?
Same problem but with 2 phones
My note 5 and my friends S6 edge were totally fine, but on our farm (which now i found that has a low voltage eccentricity at around 190 V), we put them on my charger (the original charger that came with the note 5) and both of our phones now have the same problem, they charge very slowly ( up to 6 hrs for a full charge) and are not detected by any pc using 3 cables that work with other phones normally, the charger itself is okay, and works well with other devices (at home of course, and fast charge works with other devices).
I have tried everything, restart, safe mode, delete cache, charge while its off.. with a number of chargers and cables, it does not make any difference.
If any one knows how to fix this, your help is appreciated.
Mine is a little different, My Note5 is not charging at all via USB but works fine with wireless charging. In short, even if i plugged it via PC or via charger, it does not charge anymore.
But I noticed something, when I am in TWRP recovery, my USB OTG drive is readable and when i am in download mode, Odin reconizes the Note5's COM port. I did a reflash of the stock ROM hoping this will do the trick. but it failed. still does not charge at all via USB.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance. all answers appreciated.
this seems like you have faulty usb port .
I've had the April 1st update come thru today and thought to clear the cache on my SM-G781B/DS. I've not been able to manage booting into stock recovery.
I checked a video for the correct button combo, still no luck. just now I checked a regular S20 video for phones on 3.0 and 3.1, the guy reckons there's a bug stopping you entering recovery unless you use the workaround of plugging in USB-c headphones (which I don't have).
so can you get into your stock recovery from android 11 on this phone ???
mystery solved, I plugged it into an android TV box to get an active USB-c connection and then it worked. a PC works apparently too.
case closed
Just use your OTG adapter? I use mine with a regular usb stick plugged in & it let's me boot to system/custom recovery.
the phone doesn't come with one and I've not bought one yet. that sounds less awkward, thanks.
