Is there anyway to restore a Captivate to 100% stock without a USB connection? Ie, load something on to an external sd cards to restore?
I've used ODIN plenty of times, but somehow I've lost my USB connection for anything other than charging the phone (USB Device Not Recognized).
Thanks...
Nope, Odin has to be done via USB, the closest thing out there is Redbend, but ATM people have only put together packages for flashing the kernel, not the whole phone
What about drivers?
Have you tried updating the drivers or installing them?
Crap!
I guess I have to continue trying to get my USB connection to work.
I'm worried that my problem might be hardware on the phone, and without reverting to stock, I won't be able to return it!
Any ideas for the USB problem? I'm using the correct (ODIN) USB driver, installed, uninstalled, re-installed.

sounds like you are having the same USB problem I am on mine (see my post on no USB) BUT...after several weeks w no USB, today I connected the phone to my laptop so I could charge it and VOILA! The phone vibrated and asked me what usb connection did I want to select. Out of the blues, sure I've installed some games and what not but I troubleshot the problem for days several weeks ago and had absolutely no luck. I eventually gave up chalking it up as a bad USB on my phone and being that its rooted I couldnt exchange it. I still think its a defective USB but keep trying on yours and maybe it'll kick in like mine did, I did pull the battery like 10 times...I doubt that did it

Wow, that's weird, but great news for you...congrats!
My situation is a little different, since I have USB on the phone to "Ask on connection" and each and every time I plug in the USB the phone vibrates and makes me select. Doesn't matter WHAT I select. The phone thinks all is well, but any computer I try to attach it to says the device isn't recognized. And I've tried both of the drivers, and have tried each on a clean on install on 'fresh' computers.
...
Back to the topic in the thread title...
...
Since ODIN from an SD card is a no-go...how about a clockwork restore of a stock phone image?
Thanks...
do you have usb debugging enabled? if not enable that. also instead of ask on connection do mass storage thats how it has always worked for me

Debugging on or off, no difference.
Kies, Media, Storage, PC Internet, Ask, no difference.
But thanks for trying!
Fivebraids,
Try it on another computer and see if the drivers download. Maybe something hosed your drivers. Kies always hoses mine.
Did you download and install the drivers that are on the OP in the Odin one click thread? Odin is *****y about drivers and sometimes they take a couple of tries.
Also, does the USB work when you just charge from a wall outlet? If it does then your phone is fine, it is a driver issue.
If you have a Nanadroid backup of stock ran through ClockworkMod within ROM Manager than the answer is yes, if you didn't create a Nandroid backup then the answer is no.
update: I just reread your OP and if it works with charging from the wall then you definately have a driver issue.
Ok, problem solved!
This no USB problem HAS to be a hardware, since I've tried every possible permutation of drivers, settings, different cables, different computers, etc.
I started this thread hoping that I could somehow restore the phone to stock (removing SRE, SU, etc. so I can return it for a new one) without being able to run ODIN. It appears that isn't possible, but I found a way to do the no-usb restore!
I got a copy of the files created by ROM manager of a stock Captivate. I then used Switfp to FTP these files over Wifi to my non-usb phone. I used Rom manager to 'restore' that set of files. All I had to do then was un-root, and voila...STOCK!
I'm off to AT&T tomorrow to return this second Captivate...hoping three times is a charm!
Thanks to everyone for the patience and assistance!
nice job i probably never would've thought of that
Can you link me where you got that stock rom to flash via Nandroid. I am in the same boat as you are. I can't even get my device into recovery. Tried all steps as you and no go on the usb. POS Cappy #2

No, I wasn't.
Screen periodicaly blinks ON and OFF
GT-I5800 FROYO.XXJPA
After additional factory data reset (it was made with keyboard code, because hard reset buttons combination does not wok) and first clean connection to Google account without any additional installs to phone, it began to blink every 2 seconds. Google account was changed to different one.
On locked mode phone's screen lights ON and OFF non stop every 2 seconds and like asks to unlock. It lights several seconds.
On unlocked mode after screen time out period, screen goes off, but after second of time switches lighting on again and does not lock again.
I seems that phone tries to lock, but can't do that for some reason.
It drains battery very fast way.
On first booting of phone after factory reset, I did not noticed such blinking.
I've noticed, that phone screen started to blink after the first contact was entered to address book and after WiFi and 3G data transfer connected.
I've tried to switch off WiFi and 3G/GPRS data transfer - did not help after that. Screen blinks. So it seems it is not Google account problem.
Maybe contacts? Or phone service download something in background from network? Incredible.
Before factory reset and phone user (and Google account) change my phone with this firmware version FROYO.XXJPA has no such problem. JPA is a little buggy, but it worked. Currently screen blinks and I have no idea where is the problem. It does not look like it could hardware problem.
One additional notice: phone stills has battery problem. It shows that battery dries out, phone switches off. It to switch it on again, battery indicator shows at least 50% again.
Last step what I could try - flash another firmware version and format SD card.
Thank You.
Does anyone know what is the maximum data transfer speed of the Galaxy 3 memory card reader? Is it worth to purchase a faster memory card than Class 4?
I am having a usb problem. When I connect the phone, the phone acts like it is connected to a charger, I can even change usb settings (including development) while connected without it telling me that it cant be changed while usb is connected. Windows recognizes it under devices and printers under the unspecified segment and says its and unkown composite device, kies starts trying to connect. I'm a little puzzled. I tried the basics. Rebooting, different ports, different computers (even though i dont see how that could help).
I'm using rooted jpf + lagfix 2 and modified jpb kernel
I'll probably just reflash if nobody has any idea

well I know what you said works, however that was not the issue with my phone. the thing is my phone was acting like it was connected to a charger, not usb. soo there were no such notifications, no signs on the phone that it was connected to usb. That was my problem, not not knowning how to use my phone.

lol, something was wrong with my phone, that is why i asked, lmao. what you said happens when everything is working correctly, and lol, I know charging happens, however that is all that happened, like I said it acted as though it was hooked up to a charger, not usb. Which obviously means charging + no usb stuff. I said that I could change usb(including debugging) settings while connected, which you shouldn't be able to do while connected to usb. You just misunderstood the problem I had
Help! Absolute newbie. Windows 7 computer won't recognize my phone when I plug in using stock USB cable. Rooted using Z4 root. Still has firmware 2.1 update 1. Having same problem with wife's unrooted phone. Only recognizes phone as composite USB device. Samsung driver installed, still doesn't work.
Make sure your phone is set to mass storage or ask on connection in Settings > USB settings (I'm assuming you want to transfer files to/from the SD card). If that's set, something should show up on your phone to let you transfer files to the computer when you connect it.
It is set for Ask on Connect
It is set for ask on connect. I am trying to update (upgrade?) to Froyo.
Oh ok. Sorry, it's been so long since I did that, I don't remember enough to be much help. If you can't get that to work, there's a thread on here somewhere with stock Froyo Odin files you can use.

Wife's stock phone worked
My wife's unrooted phone worked. Can't get either laptop to recognize my phone as a phone. Keeps coming up as "Composite USB device." When I try to use Samsung Drivers, I get error message 10, can not start drivers. Is there something I can change to have computer recognize it as the proper type of device?
if you want to do the official update you have to get samsung kies from uscc website, if unofficial you have to download odin, go to the first thread in mez android development it tells you all you need to upgrade.
They don't see my phone.
I have Kies Mini. It doesn't see my phone. Nor does SuperOneClick. And now I can't get Z4 to work either. Getting worse and worse.
Do you have USB debugging enabled on your phone? And you aren't Enabling Mass Storage correct?
Thanks
I am following the written instructions on the US Cellular website exactly. I spent over an hour on the phone with tech support (Thanks to Holly in OK for her patience) but failed. She recommended either I wipe the phone, with no guarantee of success, or take it to a repair facility. Took it in. They know about the issues with Froyo on this phone and recommended I wait 2 or 3 weeks until Samsung comes out with an update to Froyo. Just for grins, I asked them to plug my phone into their computer to see if it would be recognized. No joy there either. They also recommended I wipe phone. I decided to wait until the update for Froyo comes in. No sense reinstalling everything twice. My wife, who's phone did update, was added to the service ticket so we will be notified "when the fix is in."

Are you using the cable that came with the phone? My buddy had that problem, he was using a old usb they had laying around and thought it would work because he uses it to charge?
Stock cable
I have tried both cables, one from my wife's phone and one from mine. Not sure what they used at USCC store. Thanks for input.
USB not working after 5/5/11 Heinz flash
Love the Heinz 57 ROM but I can't get drive recognized on PC. Fixes I've tried:
rebooted
reflashed ROM
tried different USB cables
tried different pc's
reinstalled Samsung drivers on PC
checked debugging
tried using Mass Storage option and ask on connection
unmounted sdcard
Now I'm at a loss
Thanks in advance!
fixed
rebooted pc seemed to have fixed the issue for now! Going to start playing with boot animations....
What works for me:
- turn Mass Storage on in USB settings
- then turn on USB debugging also
- go back to USB settings and change to ask on connection
- plug in phone, and select mass storage. Then scroll down notification bar and select copy files to/ from
It's a lot of back and forth, but is the only sure thing I've gotten to work. It also has to be redone in that order every time after turning it off.

Hello,
I have been digging through google, xda, other forums, yada yada. Every bit of information I find on this problem is out of date (and doesn't work, ironically). I'm getting USB not recognized when connecting my phone by usb to my laptop or desktop. I've tried a different cord, I've uninstalled/reinstalled drivers, I've been following the instructions of every thread I find to no avail. I'm becoming frustrated, and am hoping someone can lead me out of the dark here. Samsung g3 vzw, was on delta 2 rom, but just flashed Beans 14 to see if it would fix the issue (nope). Stock kernal. I don't have Kies, and honestly I've never used it. Please help..

Boot into download mode.
Plug phone into pc & let it install drivers.
Unplug phone from pc and pull battery.
Insert battery and boot normally.
Plug into pc and it should be recognized.
I have to do this almost daily.

I've been having some random reboots since I rooted, and decided I would try to unroot and reroot to see if the problem persists. However, I'm having trouble even getting the tablet to recognize it is plugged into the computer. It simply shows not charging (it knows the usb is there). Any tips?
I'd reinstall the drivers after uninstalling them using usbdeview.
Try this: link.
Just a note, charging status isn't an indication that the tablet is recognized since the device doesn't get full power from a computer's USB port by default.

Not charging, or a 'red 'X' through the battery'-not charging?
