I'm trying to downgrade my friend's baseband to the v21e baseband so he can properly use non-2.3.4 roms. I'm having a problem where XP mode does not recognize me plugging in the phone when trying to initiate download mode. XP Mode will see it fine if the phone it booted up normally, but XP mode sees nothing, so I can't properly install the APX drivers. My actual computer sees it in non-XP mode no problem, though.
I've installed the USB drivers in XP Mode properly, but to no avail. I've been trying to get this going for the past 3 hours now, but nothing. I've got all my files ready to flash the baseband, but my VM is not picking up the phone in download mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i had the same problem
anyone??

Did you select the phone's usb driver in the XP Mode menu?
i know this is old, but i have gotten this to work a number of times now
you have to select the phone from the USB menu at the top of the window in XP Mode. it drops the phone a couple of times when its pushing the base band to the phone
you may also have to attach the phone using the same menu before you start. i will take a screenshot tonight and post it
also i found it helps to copy the files you need to the XP Mode machine, dont use them through the virtual bridge to your physical drives. just "copy" them to the desktop in XP Mode, works much better that way

Im coming from a mac so i picked up an older PC running windows xp so i could download Odin and flash my phone since its pretty much useless right now. I can install the drivers and the computer recognizes my phone but when i plug it in it says new hardware Samsung android USB Modem.
so i try to install it and it always gets stuck trying to install C:\windows\system32\drivers
it tells me that it might not function properly because it wasnt installed correctly.
I dont know what else to do

Where did you get the drivers (they should ahve been downloaded right from the samsung site)? Also what USB mode to you have your Phone in? I beleive for direct connection it has to be in Mass Storage mode. I didnt have any issues when I installed Kies onto my XP Machine and the phone was recognized right away.
I wanted to use nvflash to bring back to clean slate. Could not get the USB driver issue resolved in Windos 7 or XP, Read the threads, just did not work. Also noticed that the USB connect to the GTablet stopped working, it woriked fine for before trying adp. Tried Linux and the device is not seen using LSUSB did see the device is I tried via USB debugging mode. I power on and hold the vol- button see boot screen then unit goes black. No usb connect to PC either after trying.
Reset the device to stock with CWM and PC USB comes back. Is there a utility or something to check the ADP functionality at boot level, has anyone had USB issues that can help? Is it a possible hardware issue?

Try USBDeview: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
Disconnect the G Tablet from your PC. Then run USBDeview as administrator (i.e. right click and Run as Administrator in Windows 7). Then uninstall any drivers related to the G Tablet.
Now plug in G Tablet and it should be detected again and you can point it at a properly working ADB driver on your PC.
Have done that, but it seems that it is something on the GTablet that is causing the error. When is is malfunctioning no USB connections work and driver issues pop up, after set to factory the USB works and driver issue for storage go away.
So far I can tell that adp mode from power and vol - unroots my tab and I can not connect to pc. After re-rooting I can connect. Linux can not see device in adp mode.
Update. Returned the unit to sears for a new one and problem solved. I must of had a clinker.
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, I believe I screwed up something with the mounting/unmounting before I flashed a ROM, and my phone is not working as a result. Originally, it would sit at the Samsung Sidekick 4g Tmobile screen forever, and I could use the button combination to get it into download mode... now that doesn't work, and it only goes to the black screen with the phone and the computer.
I have downloaded driver after driver after driver trying to get this to work, I have downloaded ODIN, and I understand how to use it, but there is no way ODIN is going to see my phone because Windows will not properly install it. I only have a PPC mac and Win 7 computers, one win 7 computer says device is malfunctioning and the other win 7 computer loads it as a "Gadget Serial" but says that it did not install properly. I have tried all the samsung drivers, all the samsung programs to no avail. I've tried more than one USB cable too...
Is there any hope in getting this phone back to life? Do I need to use a windows XP installation? I have VMware so I could try XP or linux but frankly I'm afraid to do anything more for fear of further complicating this situation.
Final Edit: SOLVED. I uninstalled everything save for the samsung drivers, installed the android SDK and plugged it in a different usb port...although im not sure if windows got it right away, ODIN detected it and I was able to restore.
Hi
My Fit device got bricked while I was doing factory reset. It was on some custom ROM. Now it is not going into Recovery mode and not booting into Normal mode. It displays a Blank Screen at boot. The only thing I can do is go into Downloading mode.
But My Windows 10 x64 laptops with USB2 ports are not able to recognize the device properly. I tried various versions of Kies and Kies3 s/w. I also tried Samsung Mobile USB Drivers different versions. I tried installing/uninstalling them in different sequences and rebooting my system in between... But no success.
I Also tried Windows XP SP3 inside virtual machine. But Kies setup fails giving error that it can not connect to internet. Although my connection works fine from inside the VM.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
