Captivate not detected by computers

Okay, I honestly have googled the crap out of this, and scoured the forums and all, but I can't seem to find a solution. My Captivate seems to have become invisible to computers. I've tried it out on 3 different laptops, tried installing kies, installing drivers, restarting the computers, restarting the phone, restarting the usb debugging, turning mass storage on and off, still the computers give no indication that the phone is even there.
I'm guessing the problem is within my phone, as it doesn't work on any computer, and I'd like to get it worked out, as I was hoping to try out Cyanogen mod, and Odin won't work without usb connection. For the record, I am running Firefly 2.4 with the Suckerpunch #50 kernel. Anyone have any ideas?

Try flashing a more updated kernal

Same Here...
I have also been trying to find a solution to this after I flashed Di11i's 6.0 awhile back apparently my phone can no longer be picked up in download mode by Odin either XD I was also hoping to also try Cyanogenmod.

Tried updating Suckerpunch, no go. Suppose I could try another kernel, but I'm a little nervous as bricking finally seems like a real possibility. Also, I haven't read about anyone having this problem with suckerpunch. This is seriously going to cramp my style.

I was having the same problem trying to istall darky's ROM.
unplug phone from computor
reboot in colckwork recovery
select "mounts and storage"
select "mount usb storage"
select "mount"
Then select "back" until you can roboot
Hope that helps.
p.s. I've been having this problem all week with every custom ROM i have installed.

I thought that one had potential, but no go. Thanks for the try, though.

I found that after I was still having the same problem when back in stock.
Odin3 would not see the phone in debugging mode, but would see the phone in sync mode.
phone would not mount. I would select mount phone from dropdown, the phone would give normal mounting response, but the computer would not see the phone.
Here is what I finally did.
uninstalled the SGS driver
reinstalled the driver as administrator
while waiting for it to install
entered recovery mode on phone and cleared cache and all user data
read a book while waiting for driver to finish installing...
rebooted computer
enabled USB debugging
connected phone to computer - got an installing driver for device message
ODIN3 worked fine after that
USB mounted with no trouble
did a master clear and everything worked fine
rooted to phone with AIO toolbox - everything went fine and I ODIN3 one click and three button see the phone properly in debugging mode, and USB still mounts properly.
I doubt if clearing the cache and stuff did anything, but it doesnt hurt. I suspect I made a change to the phone that confused the driver. Im also not sure if connecting for the first time in dubugging mode is important or not, but i suggest doing it to be safe

Load up odin and then try connecting in download mode and see if odin detects it.

Not a thing. That's actually when I first noticed that the phone wasn't being recognized, as a matter of fact. I was doing the cyanogen mod thing, already applied the efsbackup.zip. Which didn't hurt anything fortunately, or I'd be completely screwed.

[Q] Can't mount... problem.

Hi.
I don't know much about details about root/room/recovery, but know some about
ODIN, CWM and other ROM to use.
I've been using Humble 5.0 for a while and my phone got unstable recently, so I ODIN the same Humble rom again, but that is how the problem started.
The main problem is, I can't wipe userdata or cache at all.
CWM says it wiped, but I always get Force close, so many that I can't even use the phone normally.
I tried to go back to stock ROM or any other, but all failed.
Stock ROM with stock recovery says, E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (Invalid argument). and most of the time, Bootloops.
Humble is the only option I can go into, and actually use the phone, but it has all the apps and data from the past, even though I wipe data/cache thousand times.
I even erased all SD data, formatted in FAT32, and nothing works.
Finalizing my status,
Can't mount...error with Stock ROM.
Bootloop with other ROM.
Constant Force Close with Humble 5.0 (Can't wipe data/cache).
Please help.

So stock, you used ODIN EE4 and PIT file to go back to stock and took the newest update and still have problems?

Thank you for the reply.
Yes. I tried ED1 and EE4, and even with PIT(repartition) and I get "Can't mount..." error.
I went back to Humble 5.0 which has all kind of force close (still showing all app names I had, mysterious), and formatted SD, factory reset, and tried ODIN ED1/PIT, but result is same.
I have a feeling my internal SD partition got screwed.

I am no pro myself.. But I am running GummyCharge Froyo 2.0 which comes with Imoseyon's Kernel and its rock stable even overclocked to 1,200 mhz for me.. You may want to try getting a copy of that as well as flashing with your SIM Card out and Battery in after booting into recovery.. Let me know if this helps at all!

I had a similar problem but dont remember what I did to fix lol like that helps you. Did you format your sd card on a computer or with your phone? If not try using an adapter and format on computer. Going back to stock has always solved my problems. There is a new cwm that came out. Just throwing stuff out there. Have you tried re downloading images of the stock ee4 and pit? It is loading so shouldnt be a problem , hmm. Maybe someone with more knowledge will pop in.

I tried GummyCharge 2.0.zip from SD but it didn't help.
I tried CWM 5.0, with many ROMs to wipe cache/data, no use.
I formatted my SD on PC, and from phone, same result.
What I don't understand is, even after I flashed Humble 5.0 ROM which I used right before, and only ROM it works now, it shows all apps I had even after many times of Wipe Data/cache/dalvic.
Even funnier, I delete some apps causing Force Close, and I reboot my phone, it always goes back to where I start. Same Home, the app is still there.
It is just weird.

Im getting FC now all of a sudden. It's you fault damn it lol. Said I was gonna reload anyhow. Just didnt want to do it twice in one night. Oh it is past 12pm so I guess it is another day.

It's been now 3 days, and I found this thread hopelessly.
Same problem I think.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191650&page=2
I hope somebody can help me fix it.

Now I can't even flash Humble, can't even get through recovery(stock or CWM).
I can't do anything now.
I will Odin back to stock and take it to the verizon tomorrow.
Thank you all of you for the help.

Tried a different usb cable, how did you flash the new cwm? So everytime it says pass through ODIN? Are you checking the right selections through ODIN and using PDA? Man just trying to think of everything and thats about it. Get another phone lol. Superuser and busybox?

I tried different USB cable, PC, installed Samsung driver again.
I took the phone to Verizon today, and they can't hard reset it either at that place.
I dropped the phone 3 month ago and it has a little dent, so that they refuse to repair it under warranty. I am sending it to MobileTechVideo tomorrow.
Thank you.

I'm having the same issues. I was on Humble 5.0 and had been using it without a problem for about 2 weeks and yesterday I noticed my phone reboot on it's own. After the reboot it was stuck in the boot loop. I've also tried reflashing Humble 5.0, tried the instructions on the fix your phone thread, tried flashing to stock and also tried the all in one Gingerbread 2.3.6 W/Root/CWR/IMO Kernel 4.0 to see if CWM would help any.
All successfully pass according to Odin, but they all still boot loop and all give error messages in their recovery modes if I try to do anything involving /cache or /data stating that they fail to mount.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, I started this thread with the issue of not being able to root. I bit the bullet and wiped it all and ended up being able to root. Now I have a much bigger issue... My phone wont go into storage mode. Not in the OS, not in CWM, not in download mode. It just can't be recognized by a computer. Yes I have the drivers installed, and the phone knows it's plugged in, it will charge and everything, it just wont give me the option to go into storage mode. This will be an issue if I ever need to flash it for any reason since download mode can't be recognized in ODIN. It was working a day ago... Think it's a hardware issue?

Storage mode and download mode are different to me atleast.
Have you tried settings/usb settings/ask on connection.
When you connect your usb cable from your computer to your phone it should beep and then ask what you want to do. Is your sd card good? Have you checked it maybe on your computer with an adapter?
Or are you talking about getting into ODIN?
Have you usb cable connected to the main usb port. Pull the battery,put it back in, connect the usb cable , hold the volume down button and power key. Worked every time for me. Not sure what else to say from me atleast. Someone else might chime in. Ive done it both with the battery and with out. Try a different usb port.

If you have the charge pit file and EE4 you should be able to wipe everything on your phone. If I am correct, this bypasses all permissions and partitions and basically supercedes any roms or data you have. This should work. try another cable on a different usb port or another computer. I have hard brocked my phone numerous times and this was the only workable method. (if you want you can do a little solder job and have phone by fixed with the unbrickable mod here

I already sent my phone to the repair shop.
Btw, it is the normal case you described, but I tried different PCs, drivers, cables, USB slot, nothing works.
Thank you anyway.

Tried it with 2 different computers, different cables, different ports. Ask on connection is on. The SD card works fine when I put in in an adapter. The phone just doesn't data connect via usb. ODIN can't find it. Nothing. Pretty sure this is a hardware issue...

My phone just got back from the repair shop and they say they can't fix it. They think NAND got corrupted. Now I am really stuck...Man...

Infuse Soft Brick - HELP!

I have a Samsung Infuse that I recently rooted and installed Serendipity on. I then attempted to load CM7, which caused some problems. Now the phone gets stuck on the Samsung logo and doesn't go any further; I can only load into CWM (Red), which can be "updated" to Green, after a hard reset. I've attempted to reflash the ROM from the SD card (even after wiping Dalvik cache, cache partition, and factory reset), but it just gets stuck on the Samsung logo.
My issue is further complicated by the fact that Download mode doesn't want to work - my phone can enter Download mode, but my computer (with Kies installed for the drivers) doesn't recognize the phone being connected. I've occasionally gotten Download mode to work if the battery is removed at just the right moment, but it doesn't last. Due to this, I can't get Odin to work.
Any ideas on what to do next?

Thanks for the attempt, but as I said before Download mode isn't recognized by the computer, and that is an important component for Odin or heimdall to work.
I have occasionally gotten access to the SD card through CWM, so I can place ZIP files directly on the phone. If anyone has any ideas on what to flash from the phone, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks in advance!

make sure you are trying to get into DL mode correctly...
pull battery, hold ONLY the volume buttonS - not the power button -;
insert battery, plug in cable.
if that doesnt work, use a different usb cable.
try different port on the computer
try a different computer or winxp or win7
it's kinda finicky at times.

Finally got it working - needed to use a different computer. Used my brother's laptop and it worked first try. Thanks for your guys' help.

[Q] Tried Heimdall One-Click. Never finished, now USB won't recognize. Bricked phone?

I was previously running MIUI (not sure which version) and something went wrong with it. Random processes just kept "unexpectedly stopping." I found the Heimdall One-Click and tried it. The process never finished (failed to upload FACTORYFS everytime :/). I tried checking the Flash Bootloaders option. It got the FACTORYFS upload percent a bit further along, but still failed. Opened up Odin, and it wouldn't find any device plugged in.
After a couple more tries at this, suddenly, no matter which USB port I plug in to, my computer fails to recognize the device when previously it would on a couple specific ports. Odin will not recognize it, either.
Am I screwed?
Edit:
I've gotten the USB to recognize. I'm scared to do anything now, for fear I won't get it to recognize again. Odin still does not see the device. What other tools can I use to unbrick this?

I believe the driver for heimdall "takes over" the port. You have to use a different port or uninstall the driver to use Odin on it again. Also it seems when the upload won't complete most have success with another cable....nothing wrong with qksters uclb3 return to stock. I've used it several times.

i had the same thing happen the other day i opened device manager and unistalled the driver for the phone then pluged the phone back in let it reistall and away i went may have to reistall drivers from kies

All you need to do is install Samsung drivers again or switch USB ports. The LibUSB Zadig drivers are installed on a single USB port. No need to uninstall anything at all. Heimdall drivers are only installed to the USB port you had the device plugged into when you installed the drivers.
A better option would be to dual boot into Linux and One-Click just works every time.
It sounds like you are using a bad cable. Try using Heimdall one-click with a good cable. It works every time.

That works if you don't have to jumble things around to switch USB ports and/or your computer is set up for dual boot the other option would be to run a virtual disk that runs linux

just wanted to chime in here and verify. had a similar problem with odin not working after using heimdall.. used another usb port and odin now sees my infuse.. no problems. thanks guys

Also, wanna say that, for some reason, I had better luck using different version of Odin. Can't remember exactly but I think 1.7 worked & 1.8 didn't - not at PC right now to verify.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA

once you install zadig...driver installation for heimdall, it takes over that 1 port.
you can always go back to that 1 port or designate it for heimdall.
odin will not be usable for that port unless you re install samsung drivers again.
I have an (old -6yrs) pc with 1 usb same cord ($1) and 1 usb back port...same 1 for 6 months with heimdall - never had to mess with anything else...successful restore everytime...
use what you're comfortable with.
save that 1 configuration as your rescue if possible.

This topic was as close as I could find to my issue... Heimdall One-Click Kernel...
First of all, let me say that I appreciate all the work everyone has done on the Infuse forums. It has expanded my knowledge by leaps and bounds just by reading for about 5 hours today. I know this will be a long post, and I apologize. I am just trying to show that I have done everything (so far) that is within my ability to try.
I inherited a "mostly working" (sound doesn't work at all) AT&T Infuse 4G, and am trying to install CWM and root the bugger in order to use it on WiFi as a mini tablet. I Do Not have a SIM card for it (I am on SIMple Mobile, not AT&T), and do not plan to use it for calls (already have a phone for that). It was already running UCLB3, but I wasn't sure if that was how the phone came, or if it had been upgraded from Froyo at some point with or without the bootloaders. I had planned to play with this phone some and maybe try out some Jelly Bean since my T-Mobile G2x has lost most of the wonderful devs that it had.
First, I used the Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset to clear all the information on my phone and my internal SD card. I made sure that Java was the latest version on my laptop and DL'd qkster's [ROM] [2.3.6] Heimdall One-click Back-To-Stock UCLB3. I spent the next 2 hours reading and re-reading the OP and all the resulting posts to make sure I had a firm grasp on how to do everything. I first booted into stock Recovery and did another Factory Reset from there and also cleared Cache. I booted into Download mode on the Infuse 4G and ran Heimdall One-Click. Installed the Heimdall driver, closed all programs, rebooted the computer, went back into Heimdall One-Click, put the phone back into Download mode, clicked Flash, waited for phone to reboot, turned phone off, went back into Download mode and flashed again, this time with BL checked.
This entire process went off without a hitch. Phone boots into GB and all is glittery gold. It's when I come to the next step in the thread that I started having the issue. Again, from an overabundance of caution, I made sure that I read the thread again, absorbing all the information pertinent to loading the Kernels from One-Click. Deciding to try InfuZen-A16 Kernel, I downloaded it and ran it just as I had the previous One-Click. Opened the .jar, booted the phone to Download mode, clicked Flash, and let the phone reboot. Uh oh. Samsung splash screen is staying on my screen now...
Maybe it just needs a while to process. Left the phone plugged in so it wouldn't lose too much battery life and went and did some more reading on the forums. 5 minutes, still Samsung screen. 10 minutes, still Samsung... No biggie, I'll just read some more. Maybe this is just a longer process than I thought. 30 minutes later, still Samsung. Okay, something must be wrong... Hold down power button to shut it off. 3 minutes holding button, still on. Battery pull...
3-button workout for recovery... Nope, no such luck, still showing the persistent Samsung screen. Back to Heimdall One-Click for recovery to UCBL3. That works. Back into stock recovery. Again, Factory Reset, clear Cache. Download mode, try again. Flash InfuZen-A16 Kernel a couple more times (flashing back to Stock between attempts), using a different USB cable and different USB ports, but still same thing each time, leaving the phone for at least 15 minutes on the Samsung splash screen to see if it moves anywhere. I then tried the ENTROPY512's 4.4.2012 kernel, hoping for different results. Same thing. Tried it 2 more times with different cables and different ports. Each time that I flashed back to Stock, it worked on each USB port and cable I was trying, so I don't "think" it could be the cables or the ports that are causing the issue.
Any help is greatly appreciated. It is my understanding that to get root on UCLB3 and above, I need to have CWM installed, but other than Heimdall One-Click Kernels, the only way to get CWM on a phone is by having it already Rooted. If I am erroneous in this understanding, please point it out and I will happily do my due diligence to fix my own problem.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone gives me.

The custom GB kernels for infuse start a file system conversion immediately upon reboot (from rfs to ext4). If your sound was working, you would hear a robotic female voice providing status updates. This process typically takes no more than 20 minutes to complete, usually less.
If the phone is just sitting there at a samsung logo, try leaving it longer to see if it completes and boots the phone OS.
If it still doesn't work, try the jscott30 Odin package instead:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27286083
Here are the custom kernels in Odin packages:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698367
IMPORTANT: If you try Odin, use a different USB port than the one you set up for Heimdall. Reserve the Heimdall port for only Heimdall flashing.
For Heimdall, make sure you are using this one (kernels in posts 2 & 3):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
(looks like you are based on the files you referenced above)
Regardless, make sure your USB connection is 100% reliable and you do not interrupt the flashing process - otherwise you may brick the phone.

Thanks for the reply, Zen. I'll try it again when I get home and just let it run for at least an hour.
I have a minor aversion to using Odin, just because it is closed source as opposed to open source for Heimdall. I will take it under advisement, though.
Thanks for all the words of wisdom you give to all the members of xda. :thumbup:
*edit* - Well, decided to just let it ride for over an hour. Took an extended nap after I got home, so after flashing, the phone has been on the Samsung screen for well over 3 hours. I am going to presume that the Heimdall kernel install packages are a no go for me. I will read up on Odin and give it a shot. Thanks again. - *edit*

Bricked phone. Odin doesnt seem to work. Now what?

Originally one cm7, tried out cm9 but apparently i never got the bootloader right so i was getting rainbows. I tried to switch to emancipation and that loaded up fine. went and made one more attempt to cm9 but no luck. i am not stuck at the samsung logo. If Odin connects it gets to the step that says setup connection but never moves past. What are my options? I don't even care what rom i'm on as long as i can use the phone. cm9 gives and error if i try and flash. i can still access red CWM. emancipation will flash and say complete but if i reboot it just sits as the samsung logo. i checked mounts and no matter what i cant mount system which i think is my problem. i can no longer see the phone from my pc either. so i don't believe i can get another rom to it from the pc.
Any help is appreciated, screen shots or explanation for dummies is much appreciated. I've done this before but have never been stuck like this where i couldn't get back to a working rom stock or otherwise.
Thanks,
Joe

Try qksters heimdal to stock and see. If no luck, try Odin again(gtgs unbrick)but try with every USB port until it works. Sometimes Odin likes to prefer a certain one. Anyways, I prefer using the heimdall package. A lot more easier in my opinion
Try a pizza taco sometime, if you don't know what it is, look it up then

did you wipe user data,cache,and delvic

yes. also finally got hemidall to load on the home pc but phone would never connect. even if i went through cwm and put it into download mode.

Kies wont see phone ive tried that too. pc sees it and load drivers but it wont connect. i cant even see it as a mass storage on the pc anymore. gunna try odin from my work pc. If anyone can help it would be great i need to fix this asap as im in the middle of purchasing a house and have quite few people im going back and forth with.

got odin to work. i needed a different usb cable.

I had a similar problem, except I was unable to flash any from after attempting to flash cm9. Im on vacation away from my computer so I was unable to Odin, I just kept using the three finger method to get into recovery. And kept trying to flash a different roms always getting stuck at the Samsung logo...after about 1-2 hours of continuesly flashing i was finally able to flash a rom-after my phone finally booted up I booted into recovery which was now red again and instead of flashing the kernel I just flashed cm9 again. Got stuck on Samsung logo booted into recovery which was once again rainbowish and reflashed and then I booted up into cm9!!!
So basically for those who are away from a computer just keep attempting to flash-it worked for me just took a looooong time
