Database Info

It's kind of a funny story, actually..

So I bought a Captivate off of craigslist. first mistake, i know. but i inspected the phone meticulously and everything had checked out. That is...
Until I got home. I had seen that CM7 nightlies were posted and I use them on my Inspire so i didn't waste anytime rooting and installing CWM. I then downloaded 2 ROMs, one normal 2.2 ROM and CM nightly build 13. I read about cm7 and how it replaces the EFS file system, so the only way to change ROMs is to odin back to stock.
Here's the funny part. Everything I did up up to and including installing CM7 I did WITHOUT using a computer/USB whatsoever. So I install samsung USB drivers on my 2 PC's (win7 and xp) and I go to connect my phone in download mode. no dice. everytime i plug it in, both of my PCs say the dreaded "usb device has malfunctioned"
2 additional details to note:
1. my friend picked up a stock 2.2 captivate at best buy tonight and i threw it in download mode on the same usb port and it connected fine and installed drivers, + odin saw the device. mine still says malfunctioned.
2. I know USB connectivity works because if i go to the CWM recovery I can mount USB storage.
SO what are everyone's thoughts? did i not read a special instruction? am I missing something really stupid? or am i stuck on CM7 nightly builds for the rest of forever? haha.
Edit: found this in the cm7 nightly post:
**Warning : Not for new users, flash this build only if you know what you are doing !!! Make SURE you can get into Download mode using only buttons (no other method, Download mode from just buttons is essential).**
I didn't read that^ whoops. I cannot get into DL mode using only buttons...does that mean i am stuck on CM7?

His main problem is odin wont reconize his phone once it is in download mode. Three button fix is secondary mainly because you need odin to flash it.

I don't think peanut butter is gonna do any good ;p

Correct me if im wrong but cm7 flash requires nexus s usb drivers(or did at one point). Your friends new phone would be detected with the captivate drivers while yours would not.
If you just have the wrong drivers installed you can get the right ones from the android sdk. Uninstall current usb drivers.. reboot... install nexus s usb drivers.. reboot... plug in phone.

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

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?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

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.

odin not recognizing phone

hey guys, need some help from the guru's here. trying some of the newer latest roms and kinda got stuck here. for some reason im not able to use odin(1.7 or 1.81) to go back to stock. i am able to use the heimdall one click versions (stock froyo, uclb3, and entropy DD kernel) but thats it. im on gb bootloaders and heimdall did ask to download some new drivers, wondering if that was why?
been having problems with this touch screen on several roms and was going to call about warranty. if they want it back, it needs to be stock stock.
thanks in advance for any help
brad

How are you entering download mode, manually or through extended power menu/toggles? Powermenu/toggles never worked for me I always had to go manually for it to be detected
Have you tried different USB ports? For me only one USB port works with Odin...even though the rest work out of download mode for transferring files
You probably do, but do you have drivers installed?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA

doesnt matter if i enter download mode manually with the button/data cable method or through extended power menu.
im using the same usb port i've always used that has always worked for me. i'll try a different one.
also, i do have drivers installed because i have used odin in the past.
i honestly think it has something to do with the drivers that were installed when i used heimdall one click, they were a different set of drivers. i just dont know how to reinstall odin drivers or put it back the way it was beforehand.
i do have a replacement device on the way and i would like to have uckh1 installed before i ship it back to them.

Reload drivers. Heimdall drivers aren't used with Odin. Adam O just posted some comments on this in another thread recently.

Defected sgs2 wont connect to pc, install custom rom ota?

Hey
i've been trying to find a custom rom that i can install onto my completely stock sgs2 lte without connecting to pc and flashing with odim. My phone is apparently defected and cannot connect to pc, trying to install custom rom might fix the issue. the phone is completely stock, not even rooted.
can someone direct a link to that rom?
thanksks!

the only way as far as I know is to hook it up to PC. Mine did the same thing. Wouldn't register on a PC. I tried various cables until I found one that would work. That's the best advice I can give you.

If your rom version support the zerg rush rooting method you can do it, install cwm and flash a rom from there.
I never had to flash anything using odin, tried using odin only once and even then I dont think it recognized my phone due to bad kies drivers(which I have fixed by now).

you do have the correct drivers installed right? More info in your first post would be an advantage to those trying to help

Also like the last guy I just thought about it could be your kies installed **** drivers, happened to me the first time, couldn't connect the phone to the pc but it worked great on the mac try completely uninstalling kies and the usb drivers and installing them from scratch.

i have contacted samsung, they said its defected so send it in for repairs, since i dont have warranty they'd charge me up the ass. Its funny because they asked me why do i need to plug to pc, i simply said music, photo... shoulda been like TO MOD YOUR ****.
more or less, i have last resort to sell it on kijiji and buy another same model off kijiji, hoping its not defected. the sgs2 is a sweet phone, real talk lol

Hi, I want some help with this same issue. I'm not sure what forum etiquette is here, whether you guys prefer a bump of an old thread or that I just start a new one??
Anyway my phone is wigging out so I wanted to wipe and flash but I can't figure out how to do this since no PC/cord combo will recognize my phone, though it still charges. I wanted to use ROM Manager to flash OTA, but I can't since I can't figure out how to get cwm installed ota. I've been digging around the forum and googling for a couple days now to no avail.
Version - 2.3.5
Baseband - I727UCKJ2
Kernel - 2.6.35.11
It was rooted but I never flashed any roms. It randomly shuts itself off and upon a battery pull will get stuck in Odin dl mode? If i do a batt pull after that it will go straight back to Odin dl mode or it get's stuck in a vibration loop. Sometimes if I plug it in it will start up with a dead battery though?
Any ideas?
Should I just make a new thread on this??

clean the usb port on the phone, then the usb shall connect, i had the same prob its fixed now

Install Odin and see if it "sees" the phone in d/l mode.

MIUI v4 ROM borked by USB...

So I had usb working on GB, leak 1 ICS, and then I flashed the MIUI ROM when mass storage wasnt working. I decided to go ahead n flash CM10 afterwords n since MIUI my usb mass storage is borked, I can only charge whenever plugged into a computer. Ive tried different ROMs n they all are the same (CM10, StockEd, NUMA) and none have it working for me. I wanna FXZ back n start over, but can cuz my AP Fastboot wont install the Edison S drivers.... I need help n am going crazy. The computer detects the phone in Fastboot, tries to install the drivers, but everytime fails I have tried going through the RSDLite n it cant detect my phone, I have the SDK setup too, so its not missing that :/ Im out of ideas on how to fix my usb other then if someone could upload a flashable zip of the ICS kernel we use, see if maybe the kernels just borked, otherwise can someone help??

As in? I dont know, Ill tell you everything Ive flashed, maybe you can figure it out lol. I got the phone, flashed leak 1, then MIUI, then CM10, then StockEd, then NUMA, now back on CM10. I have flashed the bootstrap (obviously lol). When it comes to the RSDLite n stuff, I tried the most recent 5.7 and for FXZ whatever the most recent is. My boot menu version is 0A.72. My fastboot says from top to bottom...
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
0A.72
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
Thats all it says. When I connect the cable it tries to install the drivers on windows side , but then fails.
If you need any other info, just let me know of what n possibly where. I know most android stuff, its when it comes to moto specific things like FXZ n stuff I suck at, this is my first locked device n first moto

Okay so basically go and double check you have the most current drivers. Then if you want to flash stock ics here is the link where I posted where to get it and rsd 6 as well.

And try to run the recovery factory format. Then run the fastboot after. I should not matter but I always did it before I used fastboot.

Like I've said I can't get RSDLite or FXZ to work. I went to RSDLites code.google.com or whatever n they had links for every RSD n both 32bit n 64bit drivers, I figured that'd have the most recent there. I'll try straight from motos site n see if it works

yes you don't necessarily have too but it is good practice to wipe everything before you flash a file using fastboot even though fastboot removes everything naturally.And basically you flash the stock 4.0.4 fastboot file .zip using RSDlite with the phone on fastboot mode. You cant flash any other rom like numa or anything else just the OTA updates which restore it back to stock.

Well I have no idea then:/ my only suggestion is to see if you can send them the phone for repair or for a replacement even though you did not buy the phone from att or motorola. There might be a way to solve this problem but I have no idea how. Maybe one of the devs on here can help? Like the one that ported MIUI to the atrix? And did you make sure that its not the cable and not the phone selected on charge only through the settings? Little things that no one thinks of sometimes that make a huge impact on the phone. Because if some how you can flash a fastboot file but not store data then maybe the drivers for the phone are messed up? Have you tried to store data on it from another friends computer?

Yes I have tried 3 diff computers to no avail. The cable is fine it worked before the MIUI ROM. I posted a reply to the devs MIUI thread and private msged hom n he wont reply, its been like a week :/ Like I was telling a friend of mine....maybe the bootloader got borked cuz its the only thing I know of that doesnt get touched when flashing roms or fxz'n. I mean is there a way to flash a fresh ICS ready bootloader or kernel? Hell I cant even do tjat cuz I finally fxz'd n it still doesnt work n now I have no root n cant do **** til I root. Any idea of a way to root or temp root on the phone. If i cpuld at least temp root I can perm root myself after n just deal with no usb mounting, Im stuck on OEM ICS n hate it lol, I wanna get back on CM10(preferably with usb mounting, but just wanna be back on a jellybean ROM now lol)
