windows not recognizing phone

Ok so I'm not sure what happened here, but my laptop wont recognize my phone. I have windows 7 and the phone is currently running octane. I originally had used odin to set the phone up with the proper boot loaders a while back then used cwm to flash ravers octane. I wanted to go back to stock using the official kj6 that raver posted through odin. When ever i hook the phone in to the laptop it says usb device not recognized. Any ideas or ways to fix this? I tried uninstalling and installing the sgs4g drivers again with no luck.

shut off..when u go into dl mode Odin should get it..don't worry about it while it's on...I did that for an hour last week...with octane

odin still isn't catching it

Download and install Kies Mini

So I just went ahead and downloaded the cwm ver that raver posted. moved it to root folder of sd card and flashed that copy instead. Even now that i'm stock the laptop won't recognize my phone so weird. Any other ideas?

If it recognized it before, make sure you're plugging it back into the same USB port you previously used. Also make sure the drivers are installed. If they're acting buggy, uninstall them and reinstall them. Downloading and installing Kies Mini (link provided by FB) would insure you get the right drivers installed.

Every time you flash a new Rom, it will probably do that. It depends on your computer. Once you uninstall the drivers, try to run ccleaner from piriform to clean out the registry. Reboot the computer. Then reinstall the drivers using the files from the Bible.

Yeah I tried UN and reinstalling the drivers I had gotten them from the Bible. I will try ccleaner and see what happens. Also I tried all USB Ports. Thanx for all your ideas I will post if ccleaner works or not

Ok so i deleted the samsung drivers. used ccleaner to to fix the registry and then restarted the computer. installed the drivers and the computer will still not recognize the phone. any other ideas?

Have you tried/can you try it on a different computer?

Plug your phone into your computer. Then go into your control panel and under Admin tools open computer managment. click on the device manager extension and find the device/s with the yellow exclamation point. right click and select uninstall. then unplug your phone and install the drivers from the SGS4G Bible and then plug your phone back in and it should work.

I forgot to mention my wife has this phone to stock never touched and my laptop registers gets just fine. When I plug mine in it says
USB device not recognized. And under some other options it says windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. I will try these suggestions though

Short of a factory data reset (which you'll want to do before sending it in for repair, anyway), I don't know. It's weird that it worked until you flashed a ROM.

I know its crazy, kind of blows if I brick my phone i'm done deal lol.

Can't hurt to try, right?

Wifi,Odin, kirles problems

I bought the phone from someone already rooted and ran into some problems.....
I installed the correct drivers for this phone off one of the xda forums for flashing. I also noticed when setting it up the wifi will not obtain the IP Address. It is running firmware 2.2.1
Odin will recognize the phone and start to flash but then get held up at the "setup connection" tried multiple roms
Kies when It is downloading binary files it gets an error
I fallowed all instructions to the letter, I have never ran into this problem in all the phones I have flashed , any ideas would be greatly appreciated

As far as the wireless goes, are you absolutely sure you put in the correct network key? Is there a network key? Are you home and can mess with router settings?

The one time I had that problem I just reset my wifi router. If you're using encryption (I hope you are), make sure the settings on the phone match the settings on the wifi router (WPA, WPA2, TKIP/AES, etc.) & that you're using the right pass code.

The phone must be in download mode for ODIN to recognize it. Were you able to get it into download mode?

If you're wanting to get it updated to Gingerbread, I'd suggest following FBis251's Gingerbread Starter Pack or using one of Bhundven's One-clicks. The latter option only requires that you have Java installed.

No will only go into android recovery

Weird. Have you tried performing a factory data reset on the phone? It couldn't hurt & might clear up some problems.

That's odd. That would prevent ODIN from working for sure. If it's rooted, download and install a terminal emulator from the market. Then open the terminal and issue these commands:
su
reboot download
That should get you into download mode unless something's really hosed.

That would be due to it not going into download mode. Try what I said above and see if it works

Tried factory reseting didn't work I will try the terminal in a little bit i didnt think about that and I know its rooted cause I used root check basic and super one click to reroot to see if that would work

Cool, let me know how it goes. I'm thinking that if we can get you into download mode that getting you updated to GB might help a lot.
If you're not looking to go that route and want to stay Froyo, you might want to look at GPS Aids in the market. It has a "hard reset" feature that might be of help.

Thank I forgot all about terminal emulator I will mess with it in a min and let u know thanks for the support

No, you're not bricked. That's another screen that's equivalent to download mode. What are you using to flash (ODIN, Heimdall, CWM)?

Is it plugged into the same USB port as before? ODIN & Win7 are funny about that some times. If that doesn't help you might have to power it off & back on to get ODIN to see it:
Power off the phone
Unplug the USB cable
Remove the battery
Plug the USB cable into the computer and the phone
Hold down the volume up and volume down keys
While holding those down, re-insert the battery
See if that gets you back into download mode and/or recognized by ODIN. Also make sure you're using ODIN 1.85.

I tried this and couldn't figure out why it won't work

[Q] Root without usb?

Hello, i know there are other threads like his but are extremely old. Anyway, is there a way to root that anyone know without usb? My usb controller is broken and will not be trading in my phone for another for a while. On the captivate there was a root method that was done through the stock recovery. Thank you for any help. Btw im on froyo

Does not work....

it might be possible on froyo but not through recovery. you need to swap recovery for a modded one to flash anything not digitally signed by Samsung.
there is a loophole someone found that uses a file that is set to 777 permissions in init.RC to push a local.prop to allow root adb access but you still need USB to run adb. the meathod might allow automated rooting without adb but would been further refinement. most methods out there use adb. I don't know of any apps that work on the infuse to do it without a USB. but I'm not sure and I don't know anything about local.prop files.
it could be possible but I'm not sure of all the details.

3emodd recovery

Okay. I bought a old Samsung Infuse and I have to say I love it. But I would like to install clockworkmod recovery. I read that in order to do this however I need to get modded version of Samsung's recovery known as 3emodd. Now I can't find any tutorials on how to flash this recovery. Also there may be a problem with flashing it. My micro usb port on the phone broke. I cant connect it to a computer via a wired connection. But I can use adb via wifi. Any ideas on how to get clockworkmod??

if your usb port is broke, fix it if you want to flash anything.
broken port+bad flash=brick phone w/o recovery
read the q/a thread...

Okay. I got everything working thanks anyway for the reply. I know I should get it fixed but I broke part of the board off in the process so I don't think that's an option. But yeah thanks anyway.

If you flash, it is a certainty that something will go wrong. The only way to fix it is download mode with heimdall or odin. Without a working USB, you will have a paper weight.
It is possible to move files into microsd or by wireless etc...these methods do not replace the recovery method.

Can't root.

I un-rooted my phone and took the ota yesterday. I decided to run stock for a bit but this morning I wanted to root again. I went into Odin and it would not let me flash the first boot chain. Odin also didn't recognize my device. I am at a loss. Granted I haven't rooted my phone and flashed any roms for awhile, I liked what I had. Any thoughts?
