Is there anyway to restore a Captivate to 100% stock without a USB connection? Ie, load something on to an external sd cards to restore?
I've used ODIN plenty of times, but somehow I've lost my USB connection for anything other than charging the phone (USB Device Not Recognized).
Thanks...
Nope, Odin has to be done via USB, the closest thing out there is Redbend, but ATM people have only put together packages for flashing the kernel, not the whole phone
What about drivers?
Have you tried updating the drivers or installing them?
Crap!
I guess I have to continue trying to get my USB connection to work.
I'm worried that my problem might be hardware on the phone, and without reverting to stock, I won't be able to return it!
Any ideas for the USB problem? I'm using the correct (ODIN) USB driver, installed, uninstalled, re-installed.

sounds like you are having the same USB problem I am on mine (see my post on no USB) BUT...after several weeks w no USB, today I connected the phone to my laptop so I could charge it and VOILA! The phone vibrated and asked me what usb connection did I want to select. Out of the blues, sure I've installed some games and what not but I troubleshot the problem for days several weeks ago and had absolutely no luck. I eventually gave up chalking it up as a bad USB on my phone and being that its rooted I couldnt exchange it. I still think its a defective USB but keep trying on yours and maybe it'll kick in like mine did, I did pull the battery like 10 times...I doubt that did it

Wow, that's weird, but great news for you...congrats!
My situation is a little different, since I have USB on the phone to "Ask on connection" and each and every time I plug in the USB the phone vibrates and makes me select. Doesn't matter WHAT I select. The phone thinks all is well, but any computer I try to attach it to says the device isn't recognized. And I've tried both of the drivers, and have tried each on a clean on install on 'fresh' computers.
...
Back to the topic in the thread title...
...
Since ODIN from an SD card is a no-go...how about a clockwork restore of a stock phone image?
Thanks...
do you have usb debugging enabled? if not enable that. also instead of ask on connection do mass storage thats how it has always worked for me

Debugging on or off, no difference.
Kies, Media, Storage, PC Internet, Ask, no difference.
But thanks for trying!
Fivebraids,
Try it on another computer and see if the drivers download. Maybe something hosed your drivers. Kies always hoses mine.
Did you download and install the drivers that are on the OP in the Odin one click thread? Odin is *****y about drivers and sometimes they take a couple of tries.
Also, does the USB work when you just charge from a wall outlet? If it does then your phone is fine, it is a driver issue.
If you have a Nanadroid backup of stock ran through ClockworkMod within ROM Manager than the answer is yes, if you didn't create a Nandroid backup then the answer is no.
update: I just reread your OP and if it works with charging from the wall then you definately have a driver issue.
Ok, problem solved!
This no USB problem HAS to be a hardware, since I've tried every possible permutation of drivers, settings, different cables, different computers, etc.
I started this thread hoping that I could somehow restore the phone to stock (removing SRE, SU, etc. so I can return it for a new one) without being able to run ODIN. It appears that isn't possible, but I found a way to do the no-usb restore!
I got a copy of the files created by ROM manager of a stock Captivate. I then used Switfp to FTP these files over Wifi to my non-usb phone. I used Rom manager to 'restore' that set of files. All I had to do then was un-root, and voila...STOCK!
I'm off to AT&T tomorrow to return this second Captivate...hoping three times is a charm!
Thanks to everyone for the patience and assistance!
nice job i probably never would've thought of that
Can you link me where you got that stock rom to flash via Nandroid. I am in the same boat as you are. I can't even get my device into recovery. Tried all steps as you and no go on the usb. POS Cappy #2
Every thing was fine while my nexus s istalled CM10.
But after I install CM10.1 M2,I lost my USB connection.
I get the following when the cable is connected: "USB device not recognized".
I tried on different computers and usb cables then got same "USB device not recognized".
After I google that, They said install an app called "USB Switcher". Open it and clicked change to mass storage
and reboot. Then my computer still said "USB device not recognized".
I found the cyanogenmod official forum. There was a man got same proble. I post my story.
but did not get reply.
I thought it may be a bug with MTP transfer mod.
But I did got more information about that.
I thought it may be a bug for CM10 ,but now I intalled CM10 MOD from CM10 M2 TO RC5. Still got same thing.
So I come here for help.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The problem happened after I upgraded CM10.1 CM2 from CM10.1 CM1.
What I did is that just wiped data,cache and install CM10.1 CM2. Then I lost USB connection.

i son't think it's rom related, i had the same issue with others rom, i asked here but nobody answered me... anyway i found that if you pullout battery then go in recovery fix permission and reboot it starts working again... i think it's some kind of error in the file system, propably the best solution would be to format the partition deleting all data on SD... i'm not able to understand what caused this, one thing i did, but i don't know if it's related, was using LAGFIX and trimming system and data... u can try to mount USB from recovery and see if that works, what recovery are you using ???

How to use this Philz Touch recovery?
Hi Kriout, I am unable to access my phone from my computer for about a week now. Earlier it was working fine. I tried resetting the usb ports by uninstalling and re-installing them. only once myphone (Nexus s I9020) is recognized as an unknown device but Windows 7 unable to update the drivers or find them for this device.
If I want to even go back to stock rom ( I am currently using Avatar ROM 4.2.2(android) ) as i am unable to access my phone via computer.
I tried going back to older updates of Avatar Rom to see if its the ROM which might be the issue, but that didn't work either.
I tried mounting the USB/SD via the bootloader but no use.
Can you help me please?

- you should first try to understand if it's a driver problem or a smartphone problem, try to mount USB on other pc
- if they doesn't work you should try to mount it in recovery, use TWRP, an old CWM ( in the last one this function doesn't work) or the philz recovery that u find here http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16784#files, try to fix permission, wipe cache and dalvik and pullout battery alos several time if it doesn't work. i found out that for me pulling out battery entering recovery fixing permission, shut down, pull out battery entering recovery and mounting USB often worked... you can try also using different kernel,
- my idea is that the problem is an error in the SD file system so propably the best solution could be formatting the unity from the smartphone itself. i still didn't do it but i made a good cleanup of all folder, even the system file and system folder, leaving jjust music photo and download...
- if everything works in recovery but not in the rom, it could be a kernel or a rom problem, so first change the kernel, if doesn't work make a clean install of something else ... i'm using MIUI v5 with marmite 8.7bigmem and for now everything started working again ...
Thanks

Here's what i Did. I did install Philz touch recovery. Its very useful. I also installed the Nexus Root Toolkit (NRT). Using NRT I launched the USBDeview. Using this i removed all the google related drivers from the system. I then restarted my phone is bootloader mode and restarted my system as well. Now my System was trying to install the nexus S drivers but unfortunately it said that the device in disconnected. But then in bootloader mode i put the phone in Mount USB storage mode and VOILA i was able to see all my files. I did take a quick back up . But still in the normal mode i was not getting the USB Storage prompt. Now i went back to the bootloader and did a factory reset. and then installed the Latest Avatar ROM. and now I am able to access the Phone storage through my computer.
I am not sure if i had deleted some files by mistake or some other issue. And thank for referring the Philz Touch Recovery. Its great.
Now am thinking of installing the Stock ROM for NEXUS S back on to my Phone. Do you think its a good Idea?
Thanks for all the help mate.

i don't think the stock rom is the best rom ... it depends on what you need ... by the way what is your data transfer rate ( into the SD )??? me in recovery get a good speed with a lot of spike, it transfer data at 5 mbs with spike of 15 and sometime go to 0 ... when i mount USB on the rom i get an almost constant 1.5 mbs that is reaaaaaaally slow ... if i test the write speed using the phone it returns me a normal speed...
p.s. when u say u mount USB in bootloader, u mean on recovery ?
Hello!
I have Note 1 N7000, about 2 and a half years old and I'd like to keep using it.
It has it's original OS 4.1.2, factory reset has been performed about 2-3 times.
None of the USB functions work - data transfer, tethering, OTG, nothing. I can only charge the phone (but not with any cable which indicates a bad [worn out] USB port).
The problem came out of nowhere (as it always does) - one day I wanted to transfer files via cable and the phone simply couldn't be recognized by the PC.
Before that I disabled some google's apps (and some others) that I never used so I performed a factory reset just to make sure I didn't disable somenthing required by usb to operate but with no luck.
I ordered a new USB port (the little board with usb) from ebay and installed it today by following instructions from youtube.
The phone can now be charged with any cable (as expected) but all other USB functions still refuse to work (not as expected).
I'm currently out of ideas, what could be the cause?

i would re-flash stock. you should be able to find a guide and files in your devices forum.
you could have some corrupt files, and a factory reset wouldnt fix that.
if stock doesnt fix the problem, you likely would have some additional hardware issue, im not sure what it would be though.
short story: I installed custom ROM (this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179332 - the v16) and it still doesn't work.
Long story:
Stock recovery didn't let me to create a backup, nor it allowed me to install ROM from SD card. I couldn't flash via Odin or some other similar tool because my phone's USB doesn't work
I figured out I should try a custom recovery.
Is there any other way to flash a stock ROM (or any other) than installing it from a SD card? I haven't done this before so please, be patient
I found PhilZ Kernel (5.0.3) and CWM recovery (6.something), merged into a single .zip that could be put on a SD card and installed from there. It said it was for XXLT5 (which is my version of 4.1.2) if that matters.
Installed it and now I had that CWM recovery that gave me the ability to create backup and flash from SD card.
I downloaded stock ROM from SamMobile.com, identical to my original one (XXLT5, my country, my operator, TWO mark), put it on SD card, did a full wipe and tried to install it but it said "installation aborted".
Then I downloaded another stock from the same site, also XXLT5 and Croatia but no carrier specified, TRA mark. It was the same size (786 MB) as the previous one if it's of any importance.
That one also refused to install.
Then I searched for a custom ROM until something not too wild shown up, the link is in the beginning of this post.
It installed normally from SD card and it behaves normally too, except for the fact that the USB problem persists.

you cant flash stock firmware through recovery.
take a look at this. it flashes stock firmware from on the device.
you will need to verify there is a version for your device, and how to use it. i have never used it myself. seems simple enough though. put firmware on device, flash with app. done.
Thank you for this, excellent app.
I flashed stock ROM successfully, but USB still doesn't show any signs of life (the only thing it does is charge battery).
...not a very bright future, right?

right, now that you are clean stock, there should be no reason its not working other than hardware.
edit, maybe try some different usb cables, could be you got a bad one.
I have several other cables and other phones (and other PC-s) at home. All combinations work on every PC.
It's only my phone that doesn't work regardless of which cable I use (or which PC I try to connect it to).
One friend suggested me to downgrade it to 2.3.5 (and then try to update it back to 4.1.2 in case it works [or even if it doesn't ]). His idea is that it might work because gingerbread uses USB mass storage protocol instead of MTP.
I downloaded some apps (tried a few of them) which switch from MTP to USB mass storage (in 4.1.2 ), one even required reboot after changing the setting but none of them gave any results.
Somehow I doubt this switching back to 2.3.5 would work, should I even bother?
Hey Guys,
in the last weeks a problem with my USB-Port occured. About 2 weaks ago i was able to plug in an usb drive and backup my system onto it via twrp. Yesterday i wanted to refresh the backup and twrp did not recognized the drive. I restarted the phone, and flashed the newest version of twrp via odin. Still not recognizing any usb storage. Then i booted up and pluged the usb storge in ... still not detected.
Even when i connect the phone to my pc it is not detected. The only way to connect my phone to the pc, ist by using the download mode and flash something via odin.
Now I'm confused. Is the USB-port not working or is something wrong with the software. Should i flash a 4 Port firmware and install everything again?
And why the **** is the phone detected while its in downloadmode but not detected in any other mode (recovery, booted up, shutdown etc.) ?
I appreciate any advice
Flash Stock Rom
I tried to flash the stock rom and it didn't solve the problem.
Its so strange i can flash roms and recoverys using the download mode. But in any other mode the usb storage is not detected. Even beeing in the twrp i cannot get the an usb-stick to be detected. Actually im pretty sure the usb-port is broken, but as i said i appreciate every advice.
Last idea i have is to flash a 4 part firmware, but i not sure wheather this would change anything.

If different ROMs don't fix it then yes your USB is FUBAR. The functionality of low end operations such as download mode work because they use very little. Does it charge?/
I upgraded to Miui 12 on my Mi9t and since then MTP isnt working. In developer options i already set MTp as standard, but when i plug my phone into a usb port of my PC it wont even show up in device manager. I tried different cables but still no luck. Another thing is, that fast charge issnt working with the original charger anymore but thats not a big Problem.
In TWRP it wont work either, but i want to install a custom rom and for that i have to format data due to the Encryption error. But if i format data my rom zip is gone and i cant copy it to the phone without MTP. I also tried USB-OTG and the flashdrive shows up once, but if i select a ZIP file its gone.
I dont think its a hardware problem, since this is only happening since i unlocked the bootloader and flashed MIUI 12 manually. And also Fastboot commands are working on PC which would mean, that the Port on my phone is working fine since i can flash the original MIUI with Fastboot.
