[Q] Can't connect with Odin, any other way to restore to stock?

Hey guys,
Recently I have encountered a problem with my Captivate. When I connect it to my PC in download mode, I am notified that the device is not recognized. Thus, Odin doesn't see it.
I searched the forums and found instances of people with similar issues, but there isn't any real standard way to fix this.
So as it stands, I have a 2.3.3 Rom on my phone, with the updated bootloaders, and no way to get back to stock so I can trade it in on the warranty.
I am convinced that this is an issue with the phone itself, as I have tried connecting to Odin while in Download Mode on two separate computers, I have tried with two separate usb cables, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers a few times, I don't have KIES installed, I have tried different versions of the drivers, I have tried with USB debugging on and off, and so on. So clearly, through all of this, it would seem that there is an issue with the phone's USB port.
So the question is, is there any way to restore to the stock 2.1 or 2.2 roms without using Odin (bearing in mind that there are 2.3.3 bootloaders present) or am I pretty much screwed? The idea is to get a warranty replacement on account of the USB issue.
Also, for what it is worth, I am still able to mount the SD cards while the phone is on, this only occurs in Download Mode.
Thanks!

Give the I9000 drivers a shot ... Couldn't hurt...

What rom. Were u running u may need the nexus s drivers

I tried using the i9000 drivers and I am getting the same exact problem. :/
Also, I am running Continuum 5.1.

Try Starting odin plugging the phone into the pc off, and then using the power and volume down buttons to enter download mode. Worked for me.

I have seen it in other places that if your micro sd card has a lot of space used the function can time out before the phone is recognised. It has been recommended to remove your sd card before you start the process.

Err disregard that, forgot you cant boot. You try odin on a different computer?

nope can't find it on my mac or pc or the other pc

You have another cable you can try to see if its the cable? Also will it atleast charge when you plug it in?

yepp it charge! and i have tested diffrent cabels!

Have you tried reflashing a rom or restoring a backup? Also what were you doing that made it not boot?

If it's stuck on 'the logo' then how is it bricked?
Reboot into recovery and flash something else.

Dude chill out your phone didn't brick if it did you wouldn't get to download mode hell it wouldn't be on at all. Just follow these guys advice and you will be fine. Oh and FYI your phone is stuck on a bootloop.

I would suspect the cable. I have tons of good quality Micro USB cables from phones past. ADB can Win7 can only see my S3 using the cable that came in the box. Others will charge it and view storage but not let me push stuff to it.

I had to call VZW for a replacement USB cable because I like to keep my nandroids on my computer for backup, and it would freeze or not work, so I broke out the HTC USB cable, and it worked great, so determined either the Samsung cables blow, or mine was bunk.
it would charge and do everything else just fine, just couldn't move media without it disconnecting

Can't i do enything with sd card? it's rooted and evrything!

USB connecting problem.

Hello guys!
I have been using my 1+1 since september. Everything was allright! I have changed rom and kernel many times, so it means that i have got my ADB installed and know something about tweaking a phone. I say that, becouse last time i asked for a help, i heard only simple solutions. I already tried them all.
So, my problem is:
When i connect my phone to PC 1+1 start to charge, but PC can`t see him. I have tryed it on 4 different pc (all windows 8 or 8,1 (64)) and 2 different cables (native and my old one). All PC can`t even find 1+1 in device manager. Ofcourse i have confirmed USB-debugging, MTP etc. This problem suddenly appeared without a reason.
So i used native reset function and now my phone got no Root and Recovery. I don`t know what to do. Any ideas?

Any help. guys?

Still need help

Did you update your SDK?

If you're using the original USB cable that came with the phone try swapping it with a non-OPO cable.

test with another PC?

Two other OPO users had similar issues and it turned out to be the original cable. That is why I'm suggesting a different cable.

I have used another cable and 3 different PC. Still cant find my phone!
updated SDK but it didnt help

Weird. Try uninstall all driver. Then re-install back OPO driver. I think that is not cable issue since you have tried different pc and cable. Hmmm really weird.

Use your warranty bro. Goodluck mate !

It happens when one of the pins for data gets f****d up so most probably nothing to do... USB hub replacement
Unrecognized by 4 different pc's and cables doesn't sound good at all

The device still works, just the glass back of the phone broke. The phone is not being recognized by the computer at all even before I smashed it.. I tried every method but it works on my s6 right away but not the note 5. It says my phone has no root now after I factory reset but my kernel is still the rooted version... 3.10.61 noble kernel v0.1
Did the root damage the hardware that it would connect to my pc?

Try a different cable and a different USB port when in download mode.
I had the same once, it's not the end of the world.

I've found the more generic the cord the more likely it will work especially if your port is bent

Tried multiple ports and multiple cords... Nothing.. at all phone is in a bootloop that wont clear either

I went to a few stores they said They have to change the motherboard for my note 5 SM n920w8... apparently that is why it changes with the usb on the pc but not data sync.... Im kinda lost on this because why would it do that!
Please help they are trying to charge me 240$...
To anyone who can help me fix this issue I will be more than happy to pay 130$

It seems like I have multiple issues now, The phone is in a bootloop and will not pass Samsung Note 5 Logo, and the other problem is the device is not being detected on my computer.. Now it kinda seems worse because I am not even getting the error anymore it just won't connect.
I can still enter Odin download mode and Recovery mode yes.
I took it to the shop and they said they can fix itbut will cost around $240.00 to replace the motherboard so it can connect to the computer. If I can make it connect I can fix this whole issue..
I have tried multiple cords, multiple computers, disabled and enabled drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, updated drivers, every possible way you can think off with the computer.

No Fast Charge and PC connection

Hello colleagues, for 2 or 3 days I've experimented that I don't have a fast charge (and it can take me to charge it like 6 or 7 hours ....) and there is no way that it can recognize the computer, Problem, how do I get it to work ???
I tested several USBs? Yes, in two Windows and a Mac
Have I tried other cables? Yes, 2 official and one no official
I tested it with another terminal? Yes, my partner has another Android and connects on both the USBs and the different cables ....
Have I tested it with other ROMs? Yes, I have tried the Gold Eagle, the LineageOS .... the only thing I can not put a Stock by Odin because neither in Recovery nor in Download mode it recognize the PC .... (and is precisely what I want to do to try to fix the problem)
Only (I think) I would stay to try the Clear Internal Memory but of course, it gives me something to leave it as a brick because it does not connect to any PC ....
To finish saying that Drivers are installed (and that on 2 PCs with Windows 8 and 10 and on a Mac do not recognize me ... it is rare)
Thank you very much in advance and sorry for my English!!

You need latest Samsung USB Drivers, latest Odin3, latest stock firmware (use SamFirm) for your model and optional adb + drivers. Reflash with newest stock and you will see...
About FastCharging... You use orginal cable? And orginal dedicated FastCharger? If yes, must works... I never have problems with FastCharging on NNE5.1 ROM (look my signature).
P.S.
If the PC's not recognize phone how you put ROM's for example from PC to phone? Or is working only on some mode for example in recovery mode MTP option?

Hi, I use AirDroid, just to copy the ROMs into de Phone...but no, I canno't connect it by any form.....I tried in Recovery, Download Mode, changing the differents options in Developer Mode....nothing, there is no way to connect it to my PCs (It charges though..)
About the Fast Charing...yes, everything is original and with another cables neither....
That's weird and I'm pretty sure that with an Odin flash it will fit it but I cannot connect it!! (I tried everything, with differents drivers etc..)

When you connected phone to PC anyway is "beep" sound that PC found new device? Or nothing?

Yes, I hear the "beep" but it appears this message (sorry if is not literally, is Google Translator):
"The USB device is NOT recognized, one of the USB devices linked to this computer has malfunctioned and windows has not recognized it "and I have a recommendation:" reconnect the device. If windows still have not recognized replace it ""
So it is connected, it charges but I canno't use it....in 2 PCs with Windows 8, Windows 10 and in a Mac with Sierra (In MAC it just do nothing..)

Look's like broken USB-port, some pin's or something... That can be also why fastcharging not working, only normal.

I'll keep trying and reading about it...I don't want to expend more money in this phone (I already changed the battery 3 months ago to improve...nothing ). But thank you very much for your answers!!

Because if you changed battery in S6 to new same battery that cannot give you so much... Current batteries do not wear out so fast through charging cycles, for example the battery from 2 years old S6 will hold almost same time as the new one (not half the time as it was in for example iPhone 5 after longer using). If you put battery from S7 Edge then yes, ofcourse... 1000mAh more. I will have orginal one in my S6 in monday, I let people's know how it's working (but i'm sure that's best solution, here can look: https://vordhosbn.com/index.php/blog/tech/galaxy-s6-battery-mod-s7-edge-battery/).

Did you manage to solve this problem.
Having same issue.
What is the status of your phone now.

Your USB port Is faulty or the wiring is coming loose internally. My s6 only charges on a custom ROM because the USB port has s power regulator that is not working and the stock ROM will not let the device charge. But the custom ROM let's it charge just fine. Its not a firmware bug because you have tried multiple Roms. In my opinion it is hardware related. If you want to open your phone I can help you further. But if you don't know how... DO NOT OPEN IT. the screen is glued and you will definitely break things if you don't know how to remove it
