so... i was on cm7 with twrp and i wanted to install the new aokp team acid released with fixes. I thought i read the op correctly and could use twrp to install aokp. i was getting an error but i already wiped system and did a factory reset. anywho i had no os and all my backups on my sd card got deleted a few days prior than today. so i busted out heimdall and everything was going great but the usb cord i was using was some poop and it ""disconnected" during installation. so i rebooted the phone and it gave me the connect to kies message with the 2 computers and i tried i again leaving the phone in one spot. again it came "disconnected" (what a bs usb cord it is). so i went to try a third time and now heimdall cant see my device. but i know its not the cord as poopy as it is it will detect my wifes phone which is a sgs4g too. is there anyway to get heimdall to see what my phone is again?

Calm down you will have to buy or use another USB a Samsung USB is preferred and try a different program I always had trouble using hemidall look up stock one click its a Java app

Either that or you may have a broken charging port also. That could be a broken charging port on your phone. Not always is a usb cable fault. But like Imx said, just calm down and youll see the light at the end. After all, youre using an unbrickable Galaxy 4g. Which worst case scenario is the most simple to apply unbrickable mod.

Actually a blackberry cable is preferred. The samsung cable is not the best quality. I use it but Im also scared Im going to have issues. I use to have a blackberry cable around here somewhere and there wasnt a phone I couldnt get recognized on my pc with it.
thanks for the advice guys i will try a different cord and reply with my findings. i dont think it is my charging port. that should be fine never had a problem charging it. i never applied the unbrickable mod do you think this would help me?
All i get in the unknown device error when i plug the phone in right now. samsung drivers still dont help it. like i said when i hook my wifes phone which is a galaxy s 4g too to my computer it will recognize hers just not mine.

When you google one click stock for our device and download it the Java app requires you to install Java on your PC one this is done the program will automatically ask if you won't to install the drivers click yes then you will need to go to list at the top left corner select recent devices then Samsung will pop up install them then you click flash and it does all the work

Be sure to follow them exactly how they are written. lumin has a guide on how to remove your drivers that is probably what is causing your problems is a wonked out driver.

Are you putting it in download mode? Also have you tried to use a different USB cable like I recomended
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA
It kind of sounds to me like your drivers are borked. I would recommend uninstalling all drivers, reboot and then install the drivers included with the heimdall one-click.

guys, ive been messing around now for about 5 hrs trying to get this thing going and no luck. i know there has to be a way. this is a list of things that ive tried and any other suggestions would be very helpful.
*tried a different usb cord
*used usbdeview to delete anything android/samsung related
*tried another laptopkn
*tried another sgs4g (which one click will say connected but then if i try my phone it wont)
*deleted all known drivers samsung/android related
im going to the store now to see if i can get a brand new usb cord and see if that helps. other than that fellas im clueless as to why i wouldnt be able to get one click to see my device. its almost as if the device doesnt know what it is. but sometimes by chance when i plug it in to my computer it will try to install and if i have one click open it will say connected and the drivers are being detected and then when the drivers fail it becomes disconnected.
Anyone have anything else i can try???
Install Heimdall.
Plug in phone, while it's on download screen.
Launch zadig.exe from the Heimdall\Drivers folder.
Options->List all devices.
Choose the Samsung one... I'm away from my computer so I can't give you the exact name, but I think it's Samsung Composite Device.
Change the driver to libusb0.
Install/replace driver.
Restart computer.
Log into computer.
Restart phone.
Flash successfully.
I remember seeing somewhere that once on mtd the phone responds to the Google drivers. You can install those from the android sdk. Don't know if that would help, but worth a shot if you don't have those drivers installed.

This is a hard question, any help will be appreciated. I have a phone that is pretty much bricked for good, either i will get a replacement phone, get it sent to a special guy to get it fixed (yay!), or just get the skyrocket. What i need, however, is to pull the files off of the phone from the whole sdcard pretty much. I know adb can be used, i just need the commands to do so. Remmember, download mode is really the only mode that it will go into.
Edit: Here is the video of the movie i just posted on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHLUYckTlug (last i checked it is processing, may be bad quality) post ?s here please!
If all you want is the files from the sdcard just take the card out and put it in your computer.

ive had the exact same problem 2 weeks ago.. actually i couldn't even get to download mode.. but i bought jig from ebay and that fixed it
you should try getting a new usb cable or try different usb ports on your computer
and make sure to get kies for the driver installed on your computer
hope this works!!

I couldn't watch any more so I don't know if you showed but what does the phone actually show up as in device manager? Have you uninstalled the driver and remove the inf file? Maybe remove the inf's for all the drivers you have installed?
Also have you tried different stuff like rebooting the phone into DL mode while Odin is running and the phone is plugged in. Weird stuff like that may help Odin see it.

Ryan,
If you want to use odin, un-install or stop your anti virus program
or boot windows in safemode with networking
then try odin gtg unbrick again.
I had more luck with heimdall. @ 4.00 minute in your vid, you did not show your phone in the video or if it was connected
I don't know if you are putting your phone in DL or not. (phone not pluggged in, off, pull battery; press vol buttons connect usb, battery in)
If you had it in DL mode with the android/triangle shoveling
when you go to heimdall options and list device it should show.
FOR SOME REASON, usb port or cable or wrong mode, your pc is not seeing your phone in DL mode.
If you can put your phone in DL mode, IT IS NOT BRICKED.
with all the drivers etc install and such, the process may have corrupted your Windows ability to see your phone -( if it was in DL mode)

I will try using using another computer altogether. Ive got friends who have a computer they will let me use. If it wont work, then i know there is something on the phone end. Ive tried 3 different cables to no avail. I would do the driver thing but idk how to really do it lol. Having kaspersy block odin may just be the problem thanks for that. Ill investigate when im home.
Make sure you have the correct drivers. To make sure
1: download mode. MAKE SURE YOUR IN DOWNLOAD MODE!!! cant stress this enough.
2: Connect your phone, windows should make a sound.
3. open your start menu and type device manager. It should come up. Select it then scroll down to usb and expand it. Find the samsung one and right click and find thw option that says to update it. In doing so windows will tell you if your drivers are correct.

HI all,
So yes I have already tried to google, and look through other posts but cant find anything that is my particular situation, heres what happened, Infuse was running on ZEUS 6.1 perfectly, I decided to install ROM][2.3.6]SGH-I997 UCLB3[Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox, Zipaligned, I followed all the instructions, installed ROM, disabled VooDoo lagfix and then the stock kernal, after that the phone just didnt come back to life, the result is currently on the SAMSUNG logo, I can go into recovery just download mode but my USB is not detected either, when I install the drivers it doesnt do anything, tried KIES and other drivers from SAMSUNG, also removed USB ports, restarted, and tried other pc's and laptops and same USB error, even tried on linux, no luck, can anyone please help, I love this phone and the ROM, I have no idea why I attempted to do this but need help.
Thanks all[/FONT]
This happened to me lately but I was on stock froyo. Seems like my usb cable was for charging only. When I bought one that said it was for charging and data, the Infuse was recognized instantly. I am a noob here, but hope this is all of your problem.
Yep, thats what I'm starting to wonder, if its the cable, I am using the microUSB cable that came with the phone from SAMSUNG, never was an issue before, would connect and trasnfer data without a problem, also tried a few blackberry cables no luck, the crazy part is I cant even go to recovery mode, it only goes to download mode, wondering if I can copy some files to the SDcard to boot off with.
If you try everything and it does not work, contact me I know a guy you can send it to for it to be unbricked. When he unbricked mine, he noticed the usb controller somehow glitched and can never be fixed, resulting in a whole new device needed (he tried replacing the usb hub, did no good). Thats what happened to me, make sure to try everything first though.
So after trying a dozen cables, nothing seems to work, I should have known this when the OS was still on ZEUS and I attempted to connect via USB which I received USB not recognized message, I have tried the same SAMSUNG cable for a blackberry and it installs perfectly, so its not the cable, my understanding the USB port on the Infuse is bad, is there a way to boot into recovery of an SDcard so that I can install ZEUS back? I only have "download" mode working, recovery for some reason does not come-up, I am really trying to avoid throwing this phone in the garbage, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Clarification?
You can get into download mode but Odin doesn't see the phone? I don't think you have said anything about trying to do anything to the phone in download mode.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
That's exactly it, I can get into download mode just fine, once I connect to pc I get USB device unrecognized, although the drivers are installed, so the crazy thing is I have been on here since the days of Infused downloading and updating ROMS back and forth, never posted anything, even when I had an issue back when, I was able to go into recovery and do what I need to do to bring it back to life, almost felt like an expert given the amazing advice here, never had an issue till now, please help.
I had accidentally set my Infuse in an "almost" empty cup, not realizing that there was still about an inch of lemonade at the bottom. This unfortunatley screwed my USB recognigtion to my computer. It can charge, but is no longer capable of transferring files via USB. There is, however, Kies Air. This has been such a lifesaver!!! You can transfer files to and from your phone, and I have transferred Zeus and Aeon to my SD card through Kies Air. I installed Aeon on my phone no problem and it is working flawlessly You only need to download the Kies Air app to your phone. No special drivers, apps, or software is needed for your computer. If anyone has any questions on how to do this, you can PM me or just post on here.

Alright, my phone is currently soft-bricked and i have had a lot of experiences in unbricking the phone. However, this time..i could not unbrick my phone
so what happened was. yesterday night i did nandroid backup of miui rom, and flashed a different rom, i didn't like the new rom so i was gonna do the nandroid restore to go back to miui. after restoring i rebooted the phone and it gets stuck on samsung logo bootloop.
So, as i always do, i went to my computer, got my phone into download mode, and flashed infusion1.0 kernel through odin so that i would get the cwm back. and it failed. so i took the battery out and did the volume down+up+usb combo to get to download mode, but this time it went to {phone (exclamation!) computer} and odin does not recognize the device anymore..
tried reinstalling drivers and everything..still no hope..i have also tried this on a diff computer but it didn't work either. my computer makes the sound thing when the phone is connected to it.. but phone does not show up in odin.
i think my phones hard bricked now.. what do u guy think?
Same thing happened to me...so I grabbed my wife's laptop installed drivers and Odin and it worked...make sure to try different USB cables and try also try different computers..Odin still won't recognize my phone on my laptop. But it works every time with the wifes

Hi,
I bricked my Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V).
I tried flashing it with a few kernels and roms and suddenly i got my screen always flashing.. (like all LED was up and running )...
Decided to flash again, and my phone went brick.
My phone wont respond to anything , and when i connect it to the computer the computer wont recognize it.
I brought a USB jig to reset it and get to Download Mode. i actually enter Download mode but the computer still dont recognize the device.
I've tried all kind of drivers ( Samsung Kies, and more ) but i got another SGH-T959V which the computer actually recognize, but only my brick device wont get recognize...
what could i do? ( I have no warranty and i bought the device abroad... so returning to samsung isn't a real possibility )
What did you use to flash? Odin?
I had a bad time with Odin
Especially that I got one of those devices that can't enter download mode. But that was in the past, I have a refurbished T959V direct from Samsung
If you haven't tried Heimdall, you should try it and maybe Zadig has the right drivers.

If you can get to Download Mode, did you try 1-Click Gremlin Remover? It has saved me from a soft brick a few times after I have flashed and reflashed over and over again. Here is the thread, but looks like Thomas.Raines had to pull the file from DropBox due to issues. You might touchbase with him and see if he can give you a link to a copy on a mirror site.

It is a great lifesaver. The thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500427

The main issue is that my computer wont recognize the device! this particular one, since the other galaxy S 4G i have get recognize fine!
I will try the one click you showed.. but im guessing it wont do the trick.
Don't you love it when you CLEARLY state that your phone WILL NOT BE RECOGNIZED BY THE COMPUTER but yet people instantly start telling you to do things that require you being connected to your computer. Lmao. Did you try different usb cords, different usb ports, or even a different computer? You can download a program called usb diag and use that to COMPLETELY remove the drivers and re-install them and see if that works.

Joshhayes801 - Thanks for the reply.
I have another Galaxy S 4G which get's recognized great..
I even removed all drivers, re-installed kies, mini kies etc...
The other Galaxy S 4G i have get's recognized very well... only this device is not.
i've tried all ports. (not different cord since i do not have another one ) .. and changed drivers all day long.
I used usb JIG to get to Download mode ( its the only way... ) and still get's "Not recognized" ...
There was a guy who said recently he really had to jam the USB cable into his phone for it to get recognized by zadig. Maybe yours is finicky like that too

My old SGS4G was like this, turns out it had a messed up usb port, it was all loose and ****. At that point the phone was under warranty so I got a new one. Maybe your usb port on the phone is jacked. Just a thought. Seems nothing else is working. You can find a usb port on eBay and repair it or if you have insurance send it in for a new phone or a repair.

Well I've tried everything to get Odin and Heimdall to see my phone and NOTHING will work. I used the .apk to get root access and put the modded bootloader on the phone to flash it. That all worked fine but I flashed a new rom with an incompatible bootloader so now I can not read anything on it and it will only bootloop the samsung logo.
I've tried every driver I can find and multiple USB cords. My Galaxy Mega will connect to Odin without any issues at all (So I assume it's not the USB cord or USB slots on the PC), however NOTHING will allow this darn Infuse to show up.
I am using Windows 8 on a Lenovo PC (if that matters). Does anyone have any suggestions that might be able to get me to be detected by Odin so I can take it back to stock and start fresh? Really getting annoyed with this phone's unwillingness to cooperate with my PC.
Thanks in advance for any/all suggestions.
So, I guess nobody has any suggestions on what I can do?
Have you tired using Heimdall?

Absolutely nothing happens at all. I've tried two different computers now, with a total of 6 different USB cables, and EVERY driver I could possibly find.
Even before I bricked it, it would charge via the PC, but would not show up any options for PC connectivity.
I may sound stupid but how u putting ur phone in DL mode ?
Yeah.....its typed on Note 3.

I pulled the battery, held in both volume controls, plugged in USB cord, then popped the battery back in. It gave me the warning screen about flashing another OS, and I had to hit Vol Up to confirm going into Download mode.
....Any suggestions on where to go from here?? This is getting to be rather disheartening.
It's a long shot but try using another computer. I can't think of any reason why it would make a difference but it's worth a try.

I've already tried that. It would not show up on that computer either. A buddy is gonna bring over a laptop in the next few days so I can try it on that one, but since it has already failed to be recognized on two PC's, I imagine it will also fail on the third.
You might need to buy a jtag for your device.

If you are able to get your phone into DL mode, it sounds like it is still salvageable.
The idea is to get a device recognition with a PC.
If you have already remove and re-install the original samsung drivers, tried different PCs, different USB ports and different USB data cords - then it could the the usb port on the device that is not working correctly.
You can try gently forcing the port in different directions etc..or just take the risk and replace the port yourself or sending to a repair shop.
USB replacement runs about $35 to $50. Mobiletechvideo's currently charges $35

your problem is simple : uninstall all the drivers and Kies. Then reboot and reinstall Kies. now you can connect your phone with odin. It's because in some way, you got your drivers corrupted or changed and they are not able to be used with odin. It happens to me so many times that i cannot count them
So good luck with this issue but im pretty sure you will get rid of this problem with this procedure
Have a nice day !
