Look, this is probably a little bit against the rules, (linking to the Q&A forum from here) but this issue needs some serious attention from Galaxy-S Gurus:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863745
Multiple users are now having a serious problem connecting to their Galaxy-S Captivate in download mode. No string of drivers, updates, or anything else is solving the problem.
Why does this need your attention? Because if we can't get our phones connected in download mode, the risk of bricking your phone while flashing is FATAL, not something you can simply ODIN your way out of.
Please help. And please don't delete/move this thread until we clear this up.
Can you clarify what tasks you're performing that are giving you problems? Using Odin can unbrick a software bricked phone if you boot with it and the phone in download mode. It may help if you were more explicit about what you were doing and the steps you were taking.
Edit: sorry, didn't see the link you posted. Can you list all the options you've attempted and the steps you took? It might reveal something you may be missing.

Simple driver problems... reading the odin thread would have gotten him fixed up right away.
I downloaded the driver that dg is talking about in the Odin thread. Not the one from Samsung site and have never had any issue and I flash my phone like its a drug.

Please refrain from responses like this in the future. I know you'd like to have a simple answer and think that I'm some n00b, but there's more to it than just a driver issue.
I've installed, uninstalled, reinstalled every driver there is. Samsung Kies, Samsung New PC Studio, Samsung USB Drivers -- Hell, I even started downloading drivers for the Samsung MOMENT and any other phone that anyone listed having the same problem with. I downloaded the driver package with the uninstaller that you're supposed to run before you reinstall. I've uninstalled, rebooted, edited registry values, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted, and still can't get the PC to recognize the phone in download mode. USB Mass Storage, Kies Mode, Debug mode all work fine. Not download mode.
I've been working on this for 36 hours. Trust me, it's not a simple driver problem.
I even tried running USBDeview and it doesn't even list the device as plugged in when it's connected in download mode. Windows tells me "A USB device connected to this computer has malfunctioned."

Refrain from telling you exactly how to fix the issue because I have had the exact same issue.

I'm thrilled that you think you have it all figured out, but I think you need to actually look at the Q&A thread before providing such terse replies.
It's not a simple driver issue. I can't even jam the driver up Device Manager's ass.
It sees a download-mode phone as a malfunctioning USB device. Get it? Is there another way to say that I've downloaded 700+MB worth of Samsung apps and drivers since 5PM EST on 12/13?
DesignGears was just trying to help. He was just pointing out that there are different usb drivers in the ODIN post besides the ones from Samsung. DesignGears is a senior member of this site and also a rom developer. He may have helped you out further (considering he's is an expert at this) but probably not anymore, good luck.
I've been here for two days. It's tough to go two days on this forum without seeing his name. I'm somewhat aware of his credentials. That really doesn't change the fact that he gave me the first, simplest answer which came to mind without even reading the thread that I linked. In a fairly dismissive fashion.
I mean, right in my first post I mentioned that no updates or drivers seemed to be solving the problem. Shouldn't that intrigue the expert just enough to have him actually read the Q&A thread about the problem?
If not, I plainly don't want his help. Someone less dismissive with just as much knowledge will come along. This board is teeming with helpful minds; something else I've learned in my two days here.
i read that entire thread and it seems only 3 people have this issue, and 2 of them stop posting.. so.. it looks like its just you.
not to sound like a broken record but it sounds like a driver issue, borrow another phone if possible and see if it works in your comp, a lot of the fixes are posted in the previous thread that you linked already.
edit: im pretty sure this belongs in Q&A anyway as its not a major issue
Hard to imagine why the OP hasn't gotten any help...
Your usb port doesn't supply enough power. Use a diff port or use another comp

And it is the right answer.
All you need to do is pay attention.
Your phone goes into download mode just fine. The problem is that your computer is not reading/recognizing the device correctly. This is a driver issue. The drivers you need are not readily available by simply browsing the Samsung site. You can find them in the Dev forum.
I understand you are frustrated because you did something to your phone that you were unprepared for. Do not snap at the people who are trying to help.

When I first started to use ODIN I had this same issue, then I moved the USB to the back and it worked. I also made sure I had all the ancillary software loaded on my PC too.
I believe in the looong Q&A thread, someone already suggested moving the usb cable to a different usb port.
My only suggestion: Do a master Windows cleanup and reboot of your computer...or try using someone else's computer.
eliminate more variables, improve your logic, stop banging head, change way of life
I hate to reply to this yardsale, but:
The logic would probably be:
Stop banging head, create another relevant test scenario.., or:
assumptions: phone seems to be in download mode. problem may be at other end of cable, device manager seems to be functional, test another device manager, is it ok? try another USB port?
In any case, moving to another machine probably would have fixed it. You didn't seem to eliminate many variables in your process.
You certainly may have eliminated an intervention from God as a possibility.. fortunately humans are very compassionate.. they seem to have stepped in for you, despite yourself...

OK I have searched and searched... but to no success...
Here is what is happening, after a clean ROM install or a Hard reset I can sync via AS once... but then the next time I try I get a generic saying simply that it could not sync, but with more words (no error codes)
Here is what I have tried...
Hard reset... one sync works.
soft reset... still errors
reflash... one sync works
Deleted profiles after a failed sync... still fails except because I deleted the profile, the only profile it creates not is a guest (not the "hyperdragon) default name.
I also went into the connections>usb-->pc settings and unticked the faster sync option... FAIL!!
Here is the version of the ROM... HyperDragon_IV_IOLITE_WWE_20090204
I am syncing to an exchange server.
Can someone please help??
Is there a fix? Or do I need a different ROM?

Look , I am going to try to be as nice as possible about this. This is going to be the FOURTH thread in a row you are going to get locked, You NEED to read the posting rules to keep from getting BANNED.
This post belongs in the Hyperdragon thread, or at the very least in a " problem connecting to AS " thread.

have you tried reinstalling activesync on your pc? i would start there, and denco is right, i just looked at all your posts and you DID NOT ask this in the HD thread and that is where you should have asked instead of making a new thread!!!
OHHH I am SORRYYYY I did not realize that this could only be a Hyperdragon issue!
WTF dude...
I put Hyperdragons ROM name in the title, but does that mean the fix is or could only be related to the ROM??
NO
Besides I searched and there were like 319 AS issues reported in various threads, but no solid fix.
Counting my threads, give me a break! I have been a member since 07 and I normally post simple concise questions and usually after I have searched!
What is getting old is moderators responding with BS about Banning when I have asked a legitimate question with specifics and details.
So please if you have the answer and you searched and found it supply me with a link to said post/fix and if and when it works I will eat my words and be sorry... UNTIL then you and the other power trip moderators need to relax and stop running you post numbers up with worthless bit**ing at people for posting in such a way that they get their panties twisted!!
There I also removed Hyperdragons name from the title!!
And please do not give me the BS about this not being a ROM development issue... IT IS!!
There has got to be a fix and that fix will be repairing a ROM issue, hence the reason it is posted here!

abovenbeyond, I am glad you have moved your request to the thread for the ROM you are testing.
With all due respect, however, you really should try to control your attitude. We have not flamed you in this thread, only made respectful points to try to help you get the information you need in a timely and organized manner. The way you are responding to our points really doesn't make us any more inclined to point you in the right direction. Patience is a virtue.
Same issues
I hear you, I think that this is a consistent, if not common problem. I have had exchange syncing working OK for the past 6 months on this device. Never great. It got frustrating so I have been loading other ROM's this week and it seems to be a consistent problem. I went back to the official ATT Rom and it was better, not perfect. i think the problem is really the exchange technology. I think once RIM comes out with their new WM blackberry client, I'll switch over there for messaging. If someone does have an idea of the best ROM for exchange, I will use this one.

Its cool, if you look in the hard spl thread you will see that there are versions of the spl's that are called "forced USB" these are for people having issues with their active sync!

my issues
have always been related to exchange sync via my data connection, not the usb. I went back to the latest HTC standard English ROM and this has been stable and working for the past 24 hours. I'll look for mod's of this build, I think...
Not sure if I have a bad SGS4G usb port or just cable issues - I have read a number of posts that folks have gone through three or four cables before finding one this handset likes. it definitely does not like anything at the moment.
I'm just mainly trying to get rooted for use of Titanium. Is there a way to do without tethering to a PC? I can pull the sd and put whatever I need on there or use WIFI which is working swell.
thx for advice

You might be able to use z4root to root the phone. But other than that, you will need USB. As far as cables go, the stock cable works fine for me. If it's your USB port that is the issue, you can get that repaired by a third party, but if you're not rooted yet, you might as well send it in to Samsung if you're still under warranty.
will this work?
any idea if these steps work on SGS4G?
http://android.modaco.com/topic/331706-root-without-usb/
or, if I can get Z4root to 'root' the handset, is that all I need to get Titanium going? does Z4root include busybox?

Try that.
This has been asked before and the short answer is no. No usb equals no root with this device. By all means try these other suggestions and if you are successful please let us know.

I get that irritable sensation that you're being lazy, as it seem you haven't bothered to search the forum at all. Answers to all your questions can be answered by searching... Here is your phone specs. Although they don't mention what Tegra processor you have...
Here is your Google search string:

And YES this is QA post.
And YES you should change the title of your post!
(Or you gonna piss-off a whole bunch of people looking for "unbrickable" mod...)
Wow...Lazy? Really? lol.Believe me,i have been searching/reading the xda forums for awhile relating to usb to serial/nvflash/movinand chips/uart/bus pirate and everything that has to do with it.I know the complete specs of the phone and as far as which model tegra processor,it doesnt matter at the moment.The things i asked are that what couldnt be found from the hours i searched on xda developers and google by itself.Believe me i have searched.A random search link on xda about uart doesnt tell me much more than what i already know.
I asked if there were schematic for adam outler's design since it seems to work better than the others i have seen on here and other forums.I cant ask him directly since im sure he has a life too instead of going through tons of messages.The other things i asked couldnt be found on here or from a google search....so i thought this would be the place to ask.bhundven seems like the one that will help me out though.
Well you know best. But I always recommend the much easier to use FTDI USB serial cables/modules. However, the BusPirate is more versatile as it supports many more protocols and even JTAG to an extremely limited extent.
You need to figure out what voltage levels you need for that device. Usually with serial over USB, you need 3.3V, while for direct on-PCB UARTs you probably need 1.8V. But since you have your Tegra proc specs, that is no problem right?
Hey Guys
My Nexus 5 screen is smashed, it was still usable until today but now the display is blurred and is unresponsive to touch.
How can I access my storage?
USB debugging was on, so when I plug my phone in to my PC, nothing shows up.
I replaced the ADB driver with MTP USB Device driver on my PC, now when I plug it in, it does show Nexus 5 in My computer but theres no files/folders inside it when I open it up.

Heres a tip for the future:
If these threads are everywhere then suggest one or two search terms for the op to look up.
The op has obviously had a look and thats why he's mentioning that he's tried replacing the driver to allow MTP access. So thats one of the many "more than one way to do it", now suggest another, doesn't have to be step by step, just enough to give somebody an idea to flesh out their search strings.
You can't help that your post made no sense, but I can help you make better sense of your future posts.

I go a little further than just trying to answer, I try to give them enough to make them think their way through finding their answer so that they understand first hand how to find it and the what/why of what they found. I can be cryptic sometimes but it's to get their gears turning. I do this because I've discovered over time that just supplying their answer, in the end, really doesn't do as much good as it could, they solve their problem but they don't get anything else out of it.
I suggest doing a Google search for:
"How to backup data on android with broken screen"
This will give more results because it will draw from more sources than just here at XDA, there's a ton of this stuff out there, you could almost virtually trip over it if one were to just look. That's why I gave no specific links.

Let the op be the judge of that.
Sometimes, thats all people want/need. I appreciate this is a hobby for you, It may not be enough for you, but if the response is enough to "solve their problem", believe me that is huge for the vast majority of people asking questions.
For the vast majority of people, a phone is just a necessity to get through life and messing with it is not their hobby. If they have a problem with their phone, they need it sorting as soon as possible with as little collateral as possible, so they can get back to their necessities or maybe even hobbies that they really enjoy. Its their perrogative.
That is why if you judge xda as a community, the vast majority of members on here have less than 50 posts. They solve their problem, their mission is complete, and then they go (this is probably true for every forum). I also fall into this category. That doesn't mean to say that sometimes I do not want more - this just isn't a craft that arouses that in me. I am a member of many forums where I have thousands of posts, and thats because I fit into the category of wanting to "get something else out of it" as you describe it. Thats my perrogative.
If we read carefully to the post written by the OP, we'll get to see if they just want to solve their problem, of if they want a little bit more. Our response should be tailored towards that. Sometimes, because of our prejudice, we decide for the op what they should want.
Also, Thanks for your help

Hello Everybody, I'm new to this specific site so I apologize in advance if I posted this in the wrong forum section. I have a OP7P that I was running BlissRom. Today I decided to check out the EX kernel app. After installing. There was a pop-up that said "There is an Kernel update would you like to update mow, so I accepted and it asked me to reboot, like always after a system flash. And it's boots into Fastboot. I tried everything from Selecting Start to selecting recovery. To holding Vol and power buttons and Fastboot is where it goes no matter what. So I said at least it's in Fastboot. I'll just reflash the TWRP img file. Then. I noticed I was in trouble when my PC didn't detect the device at all. I plugged another device into the cable to make sure the cable was good and it was. So I ran Fastboot devices command and No devices detected rebooted it back into Fastboot. Tried it again and same thing. Someone please tell me I'm not totally screwed. I've bricked phones on a few occasions and always have gotten them back. This is my personal device. Fingers crossed my kids didn't just get a new frisby. Thanks everyone in advance!

Kind of ignorant to be calling people idiots when they follow the same process theybalways have to update their ROM and things go south. Not every method works for the same device.

Kind of ignorant to be calling people idiots when they follow the same process theybalways have to update their ROM and things go south. Not every method works for the same device.
If you're not going to help, don't comment.
OP, check out my thread. I had something similar happen to me last week.

Never called anybody idiot brother and if you are older than twelve you should be familiar with the terminology and context of which I used idiot proof. Rather than giving answers that can be easily found why not promote the use of the search function? If we continue to just give answers these forums will continue to be full of meaningless space keeping threads like this one that only point you to another thread while the useful information gets pushed out.
There's a reason we didn't make all A's from teachers giving us all the answers or you don't just tell you're kids to listen to you count to 100 or sing the ABCs and it's because we wouldn't learn jack ish. Your reply was less helpful than mine. I stated that the threads were available hoping the OP attempts to use the search feature to find them. You just made the most useful tool (SEARCH) obsolete.

Could've just used fail-proof or other terminology, Hulk Hogan. No need to be passive aggressive to people are getting the hang this device.
This is the first time I've triggered a neckbeard. Nice.

Lol I'm just frustrated to not be able to help . I check the questions and answers regularly to see if I can assist someone but the questions and answers forum is only filled with "Bricked" threads of which non are unique to anything posted in the Mega Unbrick and MSM Tool thread. I've had about every Bricked situation possible for this device and never once had to create a thread or even ask a question in a thread because I know the power of search. This device will always Unbrick as long the mother board isn't fried.
That Hulk Hogan was nice ?

True. Nah, I'm just coming from OP's point of view. I've rooted my tablet and other phones and have never come close to bricking a device besides this one. I got all the way down to the Qualcomm crash dump message. I was so frustrated. All I did was literally download an update ROM build and applied it the exact same way I had the previous build, but something messed up along the way. I tried different methods til I finally found that All-in-One tool. I tried all the others and they didn't work for me.
Anyway, my bad for being rude. I know I'm not dealing with the typical YouTube type of people here
SMH.

As many thorough threads for unbricking this device that people invested a lot of time to make 100% idiot proof we somehow keep getting these same cry for help post SMDH

I literally said that I'm new to XDA and I'm not apart of any other forums or websites, and for one I looked up unbricking this device. None of them had an issue with their computer detecting their device in Fastboot mode. Therefore I reached out for help. The real problem is that people are so bored and have nothing to do that they just complain about other people's threads. What's the point in having a forum on this subject if you can't use it without dealing with this **** I could have done without a smartass response. If you missed the part where I stated that the USB-C port was not functional in Fastboot mode. Then please read my entire thread before adding input. I see your a senior member. I respect that and you probably have tons of knowledge that could be useful. So you should want to encourage instead of downgrade people for their questions. This hobby is slowly dying. Help the younger crowd. Theyre gonna be afraid to ask questions if they feel the experienced guys are gonna make them feel stupid. No disrespect I just didn't see the point in your response and with my bricked device having something uncommon from the other threads. I still feel that my question was a valid ask for help
Thanks!
Thanks Knightsriot

I'm glad there's still people out there who are willing to help. Update on the problem. I got frustrated with it and went to bed. It died overnight and when I plugged it in the next morning by the grace of God it decided to boot into TWRP 3.3.1-79. Where I had done a backup a few days prior! ?. I do have another quick question. I'm back on stock OOS 10.3.2 running renovate Ice. How come none of the changes I make in the rice tweaks app will actually change. None of them. Sorry in advance if this is a "stupid" question

Dude all I'm saying is search is the key. Note that I still helped just not the way you wanted. I don't have over 300 thanks for nothing.
