Ok so 3days ago I was flashing a new ROM and something went horribly wrong...lol. I'm NOT blaming the dev or anything like that.. Im in red CWM, I did do an Android back up, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache. The continued to flash the rom, that went good or so I though. Next I went to flash the gapps, so I mounted the system and flashed. I forgot to unmount after i got done and restated the phone. It comes up with SAMSUNG and stays.. I can still get into Recovery, But can't get to download mode the normal way(pull battery, hold vol keys, plug in USB,insert battery) I can however get there through the Advance menu in CWM.
SO HERES WHAT IVE DONE SO FAR WITH NO LUCK......
Tried odin in windows vista but drivers would not work
Fresh install of vista and keies ---NO
so next I partitioned about 25gb of my HDD and loaded Ubuntu 12.04 loaded up JDK,Wine, SDK, and Tried Heimdall one click.
Also have another computer with Fedora and that didnt work. (I'm NOT that good with linux so I may be doing something wrong(I also have team viewer IF someone can help that way)
I know that this can be fixed but I dont know what else to do. Ive searched these fourms and tips and trick and nothing has seemd to work. 6 different machines 4 different OS's and 3 different cables...
Any advice WILL GREATLY BE APPRECIATED Thank You
Have you tried one click to stock method?

I did try the one click in vista/xp and was having trouble with the driver part.. windows would say "Unknown Device" but when I tried to load the drivers through the software i'd get failure to install driver. I'm Downloading a new one now just to be on the safe side.
Is there anything while In Ubuntu I can check as far as USB issues???

I loaded win7 home premium 64 and that's still a no go...still receive "Unkown Device" error then when I go into device manager and chage the driver manually to Samsung Android Composite Device I get an error 10 can not start device.
Any recommendations on a cable??

When I plug it in, windows comes up and says "Unknown Device" so when I open zadig to install drivers, and click on display all, then check the drop box there is no Samsung Android Composite Device..
I know this may be a stupid question, but is there a zip pkg like the HTC phones have that will re partition and flash the phone.??

Try disabling your virus protection while installing the drivers, then re-enable it after the drivers are installed.

Download Kies Mini from Samsung site. Kies will install the drivers for your phone.
Try This!!!
I still have the same issue, but first try this:
- Download a Live Ubuntu CD and restart with de cd... PLUG THE PHONE.
If recongnaise the phone the problem is windows, you can sleep well.
If not, hardware problem, too bad.
I recently formatted my PC AND WINDOWS WORK PERFECTLY WHEN I PLUG THE PHONE, NON DRIVERS WAS INSTALED. Now i start to install one by one drivers and programs and plug the phone to detect which make the mess.
I hope you understand me, as you see i not an english native person

The problem is you're running CM7 and trying to use the Samsung drivers. You should be using Google's USB drivers with CM7 on Captivate. Open up SDK Manager and make sure Google's USB drivers are installed, then go into Device Manager in control panel and manually update your phone drivers. Point it to the driver folder in the SDK Manager installation folder.
Your OS or 32-bit/64-bit or Kies or any of that junk does not matter.

If the Windows drivers is true, the try the attached drivers from Samsung. Uninstall all previous drivers completely, including Google USB, the REBOOT.
Install new dirivers, THEN attach phone.
good luck !

Did you try all the USB ports on your computer one by one. I mean ALL. That is another common issue......maybe you already did
that ?????
Also, what is the exact OS you are trying on.......I know one case where after a lot of trying, installing the 32-bit DRIVER on 64-bit OS actually made the difference.
Before all this try the USB ports cycle.

Ok well it does not work on either computer. I rooted the dang phone so i had the drivers then..... when i try installing other infuse drivers ive had it says that they are already installed, where earlier i removed it by using the uninstaller. I am soo stuck.
make sure u have heimdall uckj4 downloaded to your pc
make sure you are in admin user
turn off your phone
get a decent usb cord
plug it into a different usb than what you have been using
put your phone into DL mode ( pull battery, press vol up and vol down, plug in usb and replace battery)
make sure you have updated to latest java
run the 1 click
it may show disconnected
install drivers using zadig - move thru the selections, find android usb
if you have install correct drivers, it should show connected
flash it
after it flashed the first time
flash it the second time with the bootloader box checked
if it works correctly, you should be on uckj4 stock att gb
if it doesn't work, you can always drive your car over the phone and ask for a replacement

OK guys, serious problem here. Went to install aeon 1.4 on my girls infuse, and decided to do a clean wipe from stock, (heimdall) on MacBook. And it just gets stuck at red recovery, so far I've tried using two different computers running windows, and even the MacBook with paralells. To no success, MOST flash attempts end in a failure somewhere in factory fs. Or cache.
One thing I should note Ghats oddly different, is her phone, ever since day one, when going into download mode, you get a warning screen about how its unsafe to flash aftermarket roms,
Cable works.

the 1-click has its own drivers built in. I usually have luck switching to different usb port
edit:
Try GOOGLE "how to use heimdall or how to install heimdall drivers" for some suggestions. The other thing I can think of is to try attaching a USB hub to one of the port and try again. The newer hub may help your pc recognize the newer device on the older port...beyond that, I can't help much further. It's a matter of find a pc that works for you.
If you look thru the Q/A thread and the main thread, there has been some report about Mac not liking heimdall or vice versa

On my mac, those drivers work, on my PC, my device doesnt come up as USB Composite Device, so it doesnt let me fix it. it just shows up as unkown device.
I believe i could fix this issue if i could somehow transfer a rom file onto the usb storage, or access the memory card at all from recovery
Hello all,
Firstly thank you for the great development and help the community is providing for GS4G. From the time I bought this phone (few weeks ago), I have been playing around with different ROMs. I try GB roms and ICS roms every now and then. Always go back to GB using 1 Click's.
Yesterday when I was going the 1-Click Heimdall, it failed in between with some error. After this, I am unable to boot into the OS or recovery or download mode. It comes to a screen which tells me that the firmware upgrade was interrupted and asks me to use recovery in Kies. I tried this, but Kies does not even recognize my phone anymore. Windows shows my phone as "unknown device". I tried uninstalling and re-installing Kies, but still no use. I hope there is some way to get my phone back.
I read somewhere about a USB Jig that could get you into download mode. I have ordered it from Amazon and it may take a couple of days. Meanwhile, if any of you can help, it would be great. Thanks!
youre soft bricked, this is fixable. The firmware upgrade interrupted screen is the same thing as download mode. try reinstalling the drivers which i think are found in the sgs4g BIBLE thread. after that, plug in your phone and make it go to the firmware upgrade interrupted screen and see if it installs the drivers. read lumin's guide. it explains everything step by step. im going to try to link it here soon.

Thanks. I had tried eollie's Heimdall Stock KJ6 + Root. But, I don't remember seeing the driver installation window show up. I tried reinstalling the drivers through Kies couple of times and re-booting. But, still didn't work. I will try what you suggested when I get home.
You should be able to fix it. Goodluck
When you are using the heimdall 1 click does zadig not recognize your phone?

When I connect my phone, Heimdall does nothing but says "disconnected". Windows shows that "a device has malfunctioned" and shows "unknown device connected".
Do you have the full heimdall?

I used this Heimdall - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822626
I do remember installing drivers through this Heimdall before when the phone was working.

Sounds like you need to run zadig.exe in the Drivers folder of the Windows distribution of Heimdall.
If that doesn't work, right-click on (My) Computer, select Manage, then select Device Manager. In the panel that opens, find your device, right-click on it and you can then look at its properties and potential change the driver there.
(Yes, this kind of shenanigans is another of the reasons I really dislike Windows)
Ok so what you should try is downloading the heimdall suite
https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/downloads
Extract and open the drivers folder and run zadig. Click devices/show all devices and if your phone is plugged in and in download mode it should see it. Install drivers and it should say drivers successfully installed. Then run your one-click jar file and it should work.

I tried all this. But, still Zadig shows my phone as "unknown device" and does not install drivers for it. Tried USBDview to remove any instance of Samsung & Android from the drivers. But, still does not recognize my device. Any other suggestions.
Try different USB ports on your computer.
Install Ubuntu (not totally kidding on that one, it will install side-by-side with Windows)
When is that jig getting there? One time I had a similar situation and I built myself a jig and it worked like a charm. Phone goes straight into download mode. I dunno if this will resolve your situation but I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time we've seen someone with this problem and then after trying several different computers and USB cables we usually say maybe your phone's USB Jack is messed up? And then the thread goes dead.

Have you uninstalled any drivers? Download and install the drivers from the bible thread if you haven't. Like suggested, try different USB ports and different USB cables. Sometimes it takes more than one try for some reason.

Have you rebooted your comp at all?? If no that might be the problem.
SUCCESS !!
Thanks a lot for all your suggestions.
Here is what worked:
- I opened device manager and uninstalled ALL USB devices (Yes ALL, not just Samsung, Android etc) and unfamiliar Storage devices.
- Then I rebooted once so that all other device drivers could be installed.
- Then I rebooted a second time and let it install any remaining drivers.
- Then I plugged in the phone and it installed the driver and now it started showing the correct device name
- Now, I ran the Heimdall 1-click and it opened offered to re-install drivers. I did this.
- After all this, I was able to get 1-Click GB rom installed and now back to VB.
(I think the key was "uninstall all USB devices" and "reboot TWICE")
glad you got it to work. ive had my share of soft bricks with this device and it always takes something different to get it to run right. im starting to think that my computer is alive because of this reason because it just doesnt like to play nice sometimes. LOL
