So in attempt to find my way to cyanogenmod 7 today i managed to brick my phone using odin3 one click. i was able to get my phone back into download mode after reading a few tips. so my new problem is my computer saying "usb device not recogniced. one of the usb devices on this computer has malfunctioned'. i've tried reinstalling the samsung drivers for my captivate and that doesnt seem to fix the problem. Any ideas? And if i can get odin to recognize my phone, should i master clear everything before trying to flash it back to stock?
Re-install the drivers and try again. Be sure to have the ODIN 1 Click open before connecting your phone in download mode.
also try different USB ports. wouldn't be the first time a port caused a connection problem.
Hello Members,
I am new to this site and gone thru lots of forums, youtube and so on for my problem and more I am reading I am unable to find my answer correctly so decided to get your inputs.
I bought Bell - Galaxy S Vibrant 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) phone from Kijiji. Tried to unlock, mistakenly I followed 2.3.3 procedure here on xda to unlock. Phone bricked but was able to go to download mode.
I tried to flash the phone and odin stopped in between, kept as it is for a long time and nothing happened. I pulled it out from USB cable that was connected on the computer and phone bricked again which means now it doesn't even go to download mode at all.
1) Now I am getting a computer and cellphone and in centre a yellow triangle on the screen.
2) Phone does not get to the download mode
3) When I connect thru USB to the laptop, it doesn't detect the phone. Neither kies nor odin. Tried doing on another laptop as well and no luck.
Any suggestions how to fix my phone? Thanks in advance!!
I'm had a pretty similar problem with a Tmobile Vibrant today with 2.2. Apparently you don't need to be in download mode for odin to work, as long as it has a com showing.

I did tried to connect to ODIN and still ODIN is not detecting my phone and I am not getting the COM ID - light up yellow in ODIN
Any inputs please. Thanks!
so, my phone is bricked, I bought a jig since I couldn't access download mode. The jig works perfectly, but no matter what cord, USB port or computer or operating system I still can't get the phone recognized. I always get "USB device not recognized, it may have malfunctioned...etc." I thought it was the drivers and etc, but my friends Galaxy S works in download mode and gets recognized...I thought it might be the USB port, but the jig works everytime and the charger turns the phone on when plugged in.
So I'm out of options, the unbrickable mod is just not in my skill set, what else can I possibly do?
I know you said it was coming up as USB device not recognized...buy did you run Odin and see if it was there?
Yes, neither hemidall or odin detect it.

I can't tell if you tried this, but when I was flashing with the Captivate and Odin, I always re-installed the drivers. Everytime. I also had better luck running Odin as Administrator. Again, couldn't tell from OP if you did all that, so hope I'm not preaching to the choir

I thinknu shuld download kies mini first and install it..it will install all the needed drivers.
then try to go in download mode u can go in it by
1.take out the battery
2.hold the 2 volume keys (not the power key).
3.put battery inside..
4.then while holding the 2 vol keys plug the usb cable in the phone and to the pc..
it will go in download mode then see tht in odin..
i think this would help u please thanx if it wrks..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Have you tried just putting cable in PC then in reg mode hook to phone...let it find and recognize. Then unhook from phone. then put in d/l mode then hook to computer....then open odin.....
EDIT: the cable that comes with the phone is really not such a good cable...i went out and bought a nice thick one..just casue the sammy one works for charging and USB mass storage doesn't mean it will for ODIN...I ran into that with my Captivate and Infuse...I went out and got a nice thick 25$ cable...no issues...also try a diff port...>?
I swear the op never gets read. the phone is bricked, I can't get past the Samsung screen, I have stock 3e recovery, and the only way to get to download mode is the jig. I have tried kies mini and the exe for drivers but none of the multiple computers ive tried recognize the phone, I have tried several different cords as well, I think my only option is Jtag.

No that's not your only option..... If the phone turns on at all ths sts great, diagnosing kies fire the drivers is crucial first off, then use the jig to get into dl then hook up to computer and open heimdall one click back to stock by Ulster, if heimdall still doesn't recognize it, unplug micro USB from phone and plug back in, again the RIGHT drivers for windows or Mac are CRUCIAL! Just went through a huge ordeal with my infuse thinking it was gonna be dead, if you can get to Samsung letters its not bricked, bricked is if it does nothing....read my last post.

I have two samsung fascinates, one is working fine and the other only shows the samsung logo and goes into download mode. While in Odin, I hook up the working phone to the computer and put in download mode, and shows up in the COM perfectly fine, but when i hook up the semi-bricked phone and put in download mode, the computer doesn't recognize it. Am using a motorola data cable(lost oem) and am wondering if that could be the problem. Can anyone help me out with this?
I flashed my phone with cm10 I think? every thing went fine with that it was successful, however when the phone rebooted it stops at the samsung logo. The unit will not go into recovery mode. When I put it into download mode the screen shows odin d/l mode and the model is 5830i but my model is 5830m. also the computer does not even detect my device. where do I go from here?
Download a ROM for the 5830m with an Odin install. Go into download and install the ROM with Odin.
pc does acknolwedge that a device is connected
pc does acknowledge that a device is connected, it's as the pc doesn't know that a device is connected,( yes I loaded samsung drivers and Kies). What am I doing wrong?
