I know heimdall has its own Drivers,
BUT! Even after I've installed drivers using every possible "mode" of the phone, I still can't get my phone to be found in download mode in Odin, only with enough screwing around am I able to get heimdall to work, and only on my MacBook. And neither in windows.

not following...I r not smart...:silly:
so you cant or able to get heimdall to work?
Can get heimdall to work, only on Mac, only after installing the drivers from heimdall, if I try it on PC it doesn't work, neither does Odin. Also, heimdall on Mac isn't very reliable.

I have been trying for days to update to the ICBIND GB rom with no success. I think that I have bricked my phone, I ended up having to flash back to kc1 and now it is just in a continuous loop of the galaxy s 4g screen! What do i do? I am so confused!
Try odining to kc1 from the bible. This one is only one file. Put it in pda.

Uninstall the drivers. Reboot the computer. Reinstall drivers. Start odin. Plug usb into a different port. Put phone in download mode and let the drivers install fully. You should see it.

I recently obtained a Charge stuck in download mode, thinking it would be an easy fix... guess not!
The phone seems to be working fine (minus being stuck in download mode) and it should be an easy restore through Odin or the Samsung programming tool, but I can't my computer to recognize the phone. I've tried multiple ports and multiple cables (all of which worked when flashing other Samsungs—Galaxy S phones) and nothing seems to be working. No driver installs on Windows and if I boot into OS X on my Mac, Heimdall doesn't detect a download mode device.
Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong here or could it be the phone itself?
Have you tried installing the windows drivers for the charge from samsungs website
Edit: Attached the windows drivers for the charge as samsung took them down

you can get your phone debricked for 40 bucks, but I am not sure if your phone is even bricked.
Try pulling the battery for a while- make sure all residual power is gone.

check to see if your phone set to 'USB debug mode".
Installed the drivers, which didn't help. The phone is still not being recognized (it doesn't even show up as a USB device).
Does the phone boot at all? Or have you tried?

The phone doesn't boot at all. Any attempts to get it into recovery or to boot normally just make it turn on in download mode again. I haven't been able to try PC based methods as it's still not being recognized.
I actually opened up the phone, grabbed a multimeter, and tested out the USB port. Surprisingly, it seems to be good, so that doesn't seem to be the problem with getting the computer and phone to talk.
Any more ideas?
When you plug it into your computer, go to start (assuming you have Win 7) and type "device manager". Does anything even pop up when you plug it in?

Self-bump, any ideas? I'm about to sell it for parts as I can't think of any way to get this to work.

No that is the unbrickable mod aka you take apart your charge and solder stuff. There are some other guys who debrick but i don't know the link.
Do you know anyone with the charge software already on their computer? Or anyone that can send you the link?
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.

There has been some reported issues with the heimdall and heimdall 1 click on Mac.
You may need to borrow or use a PC based OS to get it to flash. You will also need admin privileges to flash the jar file.

One other problem is an incredible difficulty connecting to windows
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
I've tried using MY infuse to get all the drivers setup, and it will connect, but when you try to connect during download mode, or USB mounted storage under recovery, it either does nothing, (hers) or in download mode says unrecognized device (both) I was thinking it might be the cable, but the cable worked FINE on my phone when I flashed it on the Mac. Now suddenly its a complicated issue...

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
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.

I have a galaxy s2 4g i9210t. I had kies installed and Odin worked fine for all my other phones and read this phone fine when in recovery mode or normal mode, but when I boot it into download mode Odin doesn't detect it and I get an error say failed to Install Samsung USB Cdc device driver. So my first instinct was to reinstall kies, that failed so I tried just installing the drivers on their own, that also failed. I then tried it all on another computer, that failed. I've also tried 5 different cables all of which work for my other phones. Can anyone help?

First you have to manage to install drivers...
Until you can not install drivers successfully it will not detect your device..
Are you using window 7?
Because it automatically detects and installs drivers.
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.

No go on compatibility mode. I don't think it's a problem with Odin reading it I think it's a problem with windows installing the drivers as I get the failed to installs driver error every time.

You need to get your phones USB system drivers installed or it is not going to find your phone no matter how many cables you use. You need to get the drivers that are there off and get a good clean install done. Find the right drivers "Samsung" windows for your flavor OS and install them on the computer. It should work fine then.
