Hello all,
Firstly thank you for the great development and help the community is providing for GS4G. From the time I bought this phone (few weeks ago), I have been playing around with different ROMs. I try GB roms and ICS roms every now and then. Always go back to GB using 1 Click's.
Yesterday when I was going the 1-Click Heimdall, it failed in between with some error. After this, I am unable to boot into the OS or recovery or download mode. It comes to a screen which tells me that the firmware upgrade was interrupted and asks me to use recovery in Kies. I tried this, but Kies does not even recognize my phone anymore. Windows shows my phone as "unknown device". I tried uninstalling and re-installing Kies, but still no use. I hope there is some way to get my phone back.
I read somewhere about a USB Jig that could get you into download mode. I have ordered it from Amazon and it may take a couple of days. Meanwhile, if any of you can help, it would be great. Thanks!
youre soft bricked, this is fixable. The firmware upgrade interrupted screen is the same thing as download mode. try reinstalling the drivers which i think are found in the sgs4g BIBLE thread. after that, plug in your phone and make it go to the firmware upgrade interrupted screen and see if it installs the drivers. read lumin's guide. it explains everything step by step. im going to try to link it here soon.

Thanks. I had tried eollie's Heimdall Stock KJ6 + Root. But, I don't remember seeing the driver installation window show up. I tried reinstalling the drivers through Kies couple of times and re-booting. But, still didn't work. I will try what you suggested when I get home.
You should be able to fix it. Goodluck

Sounds like you need to run zadig.exe in the Drivers folder of the Windows distribution of Heimdall.
If that doesn't work, right-click on (My) Computer, select Manage, then select Device Manager. In the panel that opens, find your device, right-click on it and you can then look at its properties and potential change the driver there.
(Yes, this kind of shenanigans is another of the reasons I really dislike Windows)
Ok so what you should try is downloading the heimdall suite
https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/downloads
Extract and open the drivers folder and run zadig. Click devices/show all devices and if your phone is plugged in and in download mode it should see it. Install drivers and it should say drivers successfully installed. Then run your one-click jar file and it should work.

I tried all this. But, still Zadig shows my phone as "unknown device" and does not install drivers for it. Tried USBDview to remove any instance of Samsung & Android from the drivers. But, still does not recognize my device. Any other suggestions.
Try different USB ports on your computer.
Install Ubuntu (not totally kidding on that one, it will install side-by-side with Windows)
When is that jig getting there? One time I had a similar situation and I built myself a jig and it worked like a charm. Phone goes straight into download mode. I dunno if this will resolve your situation but I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time we've seen someone with this problem and then after trying several different computers and USB cables we usually say maybe your phone's USB Jack is messed up? And then the thread goes dead.

Have you uninstalled any drivers? Download and install the drivers from the bible thread if you haven't. Like suggested, try different USB ports and different USB cables. Sometimes it takes more than one try for some reason.

Have you rebooted your comp at all?? If no that might be the problem.
SUCCESS !!
Thanks a lot for all your suggestions.
Here is what worked:
- I opened device manager and uninstalled ALL USB devices (Yes ALL, not just Samsung, Android etc) and unfamiliar Storage devices.
- Then I rebooted once so that all other device drivers could be installed.
- Then I rebooted a second time and let it install any remaining drivers.
- Then I plugged in the phone and it installed the driver and now it started showing the correct device name
- Now, I ran the Heimdall 1-click and it opened offered to re-install drivers. I did this.
- After all this, I was able to get 1-Click GB rom installed and now back to VB.
(I think the key was "uninstall all USB devices" and "reboot TWICE")
glad you got it to work. ive had my share of soft bricks with this device and it always takes something different to get it to run right. im starting to think that my computer is alive because of this reason because it just doesnt like to play nice sometimes. LOL

Welp I am one of the stupid ones and installed MIUI on my Infuse, and like everyone else, I'm stuck on the boot screen. I looked at the post on the same topic and tried to do it but couldn't get it to work probably becuase the computer says that its an Unknown device instead of a Samsung device.
So my question is what do I do now that my computer doesn't recongize the phone as a device anymore?
Thanks to all that can give help.

And lesson learned - never install a ROM from another phone.
Yeah I know that now. Foolish mistake I know I shouldn't have made.
But, I have tried using that but when I connect the phone to the computer it shows to be an unknown device and Odin doesn't pick it up at all. My problem is, is that the computer doesn't recognize it as an Android Device anymore. Is downloading the drivers from Samsung going to help?
I'll have to leave that to someone else - I use Heimdall on a Linux box, I've never flashed from Windows.
Oh, ok. Well thanks for your help .
I fixed my problem. What I had to do was get another computer that doesn't have the Samsung Drivers or Kies installed and then install them. Once that was done Odin found the device and I was able to restore it.
So there's a tip for anyone who can't get their device to be recognized by the computer or Odin itself.
Or just uninstall/delete those drivers?

i have started to do this to since i got the infuse. ill tell you i dont miss driver issues one bit! linux/bsd/mac/whatever rock as long as you have supported hardware and that is becoming less and less of a problem these days.
re: Now Stuck
You need to try and pull the battery out and put it back see if you can get the phone into "download mode". If you cannot get it into download mode by doing that or using the up/down volume and power key combo then I would suggest that you purchase a "jig" on ebay. (they cost under $10 bucks shipped).
Here is the ebay link for the jig:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Galaxy-...0563626533?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item20ba3eba25
With a jig all you would need to do is to remove battery, plug the little jig into the usb port of phone and replace the battery, then wait 5 seconds or so and the phone will be in download mode allowing you to use Odin3 and flash back to "stock rom" to start with..
Best if you did that using the "Ultimate Unbrick" stock froyo rom after that
you can install infuse 1.5 custom rom or Bionix or the defused custom rom or any other rom.
Here is the link for the Ultimate Unbrick:

I'm not familiar with how to flash anything unless using ODIN or CWM. I know drhonk's kernels http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032 have red CWM but I've always used ODIN to get them installed.
What problem are you having with the drivers? Maybe you just need to update/reinstall?
If your phone used to be recognized, try plugging it in to different USB. If not, try another microUSB cable.
The same thing happened to my sister's SGS4G after I flashed Valhalla for her. Her laptop wouldn't recognize it, but my desktop did, so we swapped cables and it worked.
the thing is that the drivers wont install again -_-

Weird. Which drivers are you installing? I'm wanting to say mine installed with Kies Mini though I could be wrong. You can grab the 64-bit version of the USB drivers here: http://drivers.softpedia.com/dyn-postdownload.php?p=96693&t=4&i=1
Not sure if that's the same ones you are trying to install or not, but may be worth a shot. Another possibility is that the drivers are partially installed. Try this (sorry if I made this seem novice-like, but I just want to try and be clear):
Open a command prompt
type this, followed by Enter: set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
type this, followed by Enter: devmgmt
Once Device Manager opens, click View on the menu bar and select Show Hidden Devices
Expand both "Modems" & Universal Serial Bus controllers" & uninstall anything that has Samsung Android USB Composite Device, Samsung USB Composite Device, Samsung Mobile Device, Samsung Mobile Modem, etc.
Once the devices are gone, maybe reboot (probably not necessary, but why not?) and try the USB driver install again.
Ever have any luck?

phresh. i would uninstall the current drivers. then try running ccleaner to clear out your registry. then reboot. install the 64 bit drivers that are found in the bible. once you install the drivers, reboot again. then try plugging in the phone.
make sure your firewall and antivirus are off when you do this for the first time. as stated above, make sure the usb devices are not installed in device manager.
if it installs, unplug the phone and let it disconnect from the computer and then plug it back in to make sure it was isntalled properly. if it was, put it in download mode and let it install the drivers for that. now you should be good to go.
This worked! haha thanks bro! I wish i had enuff money to send you a gsii so you could help me

Hello, i am currently trying to root my sisters galaxy s 4g... Her Baseband is T949VUVKI1. Firmware is 2.3.5, Build Number is GINGERBREAD.VUVKI1. i remember flashing her phone to 2.3.5 and download mode working perfectly fine, and for some reason it wont go into download mode at all... the computer is not recognizing her phone either. YES, i do have usb drivers installed otherwise my galaxy s 4g wouldnt be recognized on my computer(odin specifically, not turning yellow). Please help, i have searched everywhere in the internet and tried almost everything... Volume up and down and plug charger, batter out volume up and down usb and battery in etc. PLEASE HELP!! Thank You in Advance.

1. Try reinstalling to drivers. Also make sure you're using the same USB port as Windows can be funny about it it sometimes.
2. if download mode is being difficult, go download the Android SDK from www.android.com. Install it, run it, and only download the platform tools. When that's done, open a command promt, CD to where the plaform tools installed (either c:\program files\Android\Android-sdk\platform-tools or c:\program files (x86)\Android\Android-sdk\platform-tools ), then issue the command: adb reboot download.
3. I suggest you check the dev section for bhundven's one-click collection. Uses Java and Heimdall vs. ODIN and works easily.

Get it back into download mode, go grab a bhundven's one-click. The one-clicks utilize Heimdall vs. ODIN, which means they use open-source USB drivers instead of the proprietary Samsung drivers. See if that enables the computer to see the phone. If so, flash the one-click

That's a good idea. Some people have reported conflicts between the drivers.
Why would only Odin 1.85 see my phone in USB Debugging and not in download mode? And all other Odin verisions never see my phone, no matter what state it is in... I am at work so I will give the one click another try when I get home. I never thought of uninstalling the Samsung drivers prior to install; however, I did use the one click method to no avail. However, Heimdall's one-click was able to see my device it just kept giving me a driver error. This is so crazy it might just work.

I wish I had a good answer. ODIN's a funny animal. I've been fortunate and not had any problems with it. I am hoping you are correct - maybe it was just a driver conflict. Let me know how it goes.
didn't work...
You could try downloading a terminal app from the market. Open the terminal and type:
reboot download
See if that does it.
***Update***
Okay, so Oneclick was not working at all no matter what I did with the drivers. However, in all my tinkering with it I installed the Samsung Driver, the Open Source one, and some gadget driver as well from oneclick.
Doing this put all these drivers in my computer. Then I went into my Device manager (Win 7) and looked at my USB driver and I uninstalled everything and went to the stock win 7 usb driver. Then I plugged my phone in and my computer began searching for drivers for this device when it decided that it would be a good idea to load all three drivers at once and voila my phone was then showing up on ODIN 1.85.
I then proceeded to flash my phone with a rom, probably the wrong one considering I was coming from 2.3.5 and my phone boot looped and then soft bricked(sorry if I used these term incorrectly, noobin it).
After, some nervous moment of scouring XDA I found the god-send of a post on getting in to download mode, using odin, and flashing stock 2.3.6 - thank you Raver(I believe). When I did this, my phone magically started obeying ODIN like a devout viking and is now running 2.3.6 superbly.
Keeping with my phones newly found viking heritage, I intend to figure out how to properly root it, update the kernal and modem(not sure which one is best), get CWM, and subsequesntly put in Valhalla Black.
Seeing as though this last rendevous with flashing caused me a little scare I may hold off and wait to see what the next big update is (maybe a port ICS variant) and then go with that.
Anyway, thank you Stephen for helping me out with this and to everyone in this post.

How are you getting into download mode?
There was a post in another thread where the person apparently was using the power menu to get into download mode or maybe the adb command.
Have you tried both the old fashion volume +/- and plug in usb cable? Or the adb command?
Do you have access to another computer? Believe it or not sometimes just changing computers will make the difference.
Weird when I replied there was no posts other than the ones on the first page...oh well glad its working now.
Ok so i searched and searched and searched but found similar issues but not my issue. I was flashing a rom and it went into a boot loop. I went to get out of it and it wouldnt let me so i used a 1 touch odin download. When i plugged it in my computer recognized the phone i clicked start and it failed because my phone stopped being recognized by my computer. (i can get into download mode with no issue.) Now when i plug it in it just says usb device not recognized. I have uninstalled reinstalled drivers several times. tried multiple cables multiple computers. It also says gadget serial in the device name when its trying to auto find the driver... strange. I just need my phone back together lol. I was working on this til 3 am last night and had to run to walmart to get a cheap alarm clock to wake me up for work this morning at 6 any help is appreciated

Not to be a ****, but I am reporting this thread to the mods and asking them to move it to the q&a section.
To fix your issue, using my odin 1 click (gremlin remover), start the 1-click, then boot into dl mode. If device still isn't recognized, go into device manager right click on the device and update drivers manually. Reboot phone into dl mode and all should be well.
Also once you reinstall drivers or update them, reboot your computer. That always helps the computer recognize my phone when I have this issue. Good luck.
Try another cable and usb port.

brighter minds than min here, but "one-click" and "odin" are different routes to the same end, aren't they? But if you start with heimdall and that fails, you will likely get the drivers issue when you try odin. I suggest opening device manager on your Win machine and removing all drivers related to the phone as storage device or whatever. Then reboot your machine. When you get to your desktop, open odin (my preferred tool), then with your phone powered down, hold vol-up+vol-down together and connect the phone to your usb cable. Win should find the drivers and load them, and odin should see your phone.

If you had read any of the numerous other posts on this you would find that Kies creates issues so get rid of it and the colors are caused by the Froyo bootloaders on your phone, something that is fixed when you get GB bootloaders.

If you do everthing correctly and completely, it will get you to stock GB.
From there you can go to ICS and then if you want, to JB. Do not skip ICS and try going to JB. Hope this helps.

I tried installing the setup file in the driver and the computer still does not recognize my phone.
I have been without Windows OS for a couple of months and will be w/o for another 3 weeks, sorry.
You must uninstall kies and do not have your phone plugged in to the computer during the driver install. If I remember correctly, once you download the zip with the drivers to the computer, you have to extract them and then run the setup. Once that is done, reboot the computer and plug your phone into a usb port on your puter that you know to be working.
Should you go forward and use Heimdall, use the same port each time.
Again, I am assuming you are using Windows. With Linux there is no need to install drivers, it recognizes the phone. With mac- no idea.

I have been without Windows OS for a couple of months and will be w/o for another 3 weeks, sorry.
You must uninstall kies and do not have your phone plugged in to the computer during the driver install. If I remember correctly, once you download the zip with the drivers to the computer, you have to extract them and then run the setup. Once that is done, reboot the computer and plug your phone into a usb port on your puter that you know to be working.

I do have a Linux setup ready. Is there a way I can do it with Linux? Thanks again for being so helpful.
Edit: I have been toying with it on Ubuntu and am having the same issue of the computer not recognizing it as far as I can tell. I did get Heimdall working on it.

The only thing you should have to do for Ubuntu to recognize the phone is enable usb debugging in settings on the phone and after that, enable it, most likely from your drop down menu on the phone.
Heimdall will be a .jar file - let me know if you need help getting it to open.

Shame the phone is bricked right now ;/ . Back to my Windows computer. Thanks for trying to help but I think something is busted in my phone that isn't allowing it to tell the computer what it is or something. I don't know. I am going to try my friends computer to see if it is something weird with my own Thanks again for trying to help. If I find a solution, I will post it.
