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
Hey, i have had my sensation about 2 months, now when i connect it to a pc it dosnt ask what connection type to choose, it only charges, in the menu it is set to ask me about connection type, while connected to pc there is now no icon in the notification area (used to say 'charge only' or 'disk drive') even when rebooted into 4ext recovery and mounted/toggle usb connection, it dosnt connect as a disk drive like it has always done in the past, it only charges, i have tried 3 different pc's and 3 different micro usb cables, also have tried updating the firmware to 3.24 and installed ICS with the same result, i think its a hardware issue? last time it worked was 3 days ago connected via usb to a jvc headunit listening to my music files.
Weird problem!
Maybe you could try with a different SD card to eliminate the possibility of it being an SD card problem?
If it still doesn't work with another SD Card it may well be a hardware problem.

Yea i will try another sd, but on the phone in ES i can see all my files on the sd, and when i take out the card and put it in my laptop all the files are there no problem, i have also tried formatting the sd on the phone, still the same result but i will try a different card, yea i think its an actual hardware problem , cheers

Well I had the same problem with the custom ROM I use.
Installing it clean with a full wipe solved it.
It is definitely NOT the pc, laptop or SD-card.
Are you on a custom ROM?
- Yes then install clean with full wipe. (make a nandroid backup!!!) and install all apps new.
- No then do a total reset (reset to factory settings) and do all the install stuff new. After that you can also install with RUU your ROM designated for your device.
You will see your USB connection will show up!!
same here
i have exactly the same problem as described in op.
will try flashing a new rom then also; first have to buy a flashcard reader then to get my new rom ON the sd card....
or do you think a nandroid restore would fix the problem? will try that first.
Will report back
The nandroid might restore the problem.I'd try it first.if not , then do the full wipe reinstall as said above .if at the time of the nandroid back up it was working is a good possibility it will fix the issue. Hope this helps!

I am having the same problem ..... Dont feel like wiping and going stock.

Couple of tips that might fix your problem.
If you're running aokp make sure you disable fast charge.
Turn on mtp in USB computer connection settings. I have trouble accessing the options from most custom roms, so a little work around is to install either apex or nova, long press add to home screen - shortcuts - activities - scroll down to Settings - USB computer connection(com.android.settings.usbsettings) . Tap it and you should get a shortcut. Select mtp.
Ultimately, the thing that fixed my same issue was getting a different USB cable lol. You can also try different ports on your computer.
Good luck, hope you can find a solution to your problem! If all else fails, you can try using airdroid for transfer over Wi-Fi
Anyone find a fix on this , mine has started doing this yesterday :crying:
Tried 3 different cables , different usb ports , different sd card , formatting sdcards in 4xt recovery , reflashing firmware.... also htc sync re installed for drivers (htc sync does not see the phone), adb re installed (adb does not see the phone??)
dont think its the rom as adb cannot see the phone in fastboot
anyone any other ideas , tried ninjasalad suggestion on enabling mtp also ??
I think you're fine. I had this problem after flashing ARHD 6.6.X, OrdDriod series, and PkMn series. What I did was the following:
Went into settings. Connect to PC. Unchecked the "ask me" , Restart phone. Then checked "ask me" again. Lastly, restarted phone again.
After doing that a couple times, it worked for me. Maybe you can try that.
This happened to me as well. I think it's a hardware problem

check these
make sure you have enabled usb debugging mode from settings
install htc drivers
install htc sync(i am not sure if it is necessary)
use 2.0 usb ports
use the original usb cable if you aren't using it yet
wont work, screen broken

I can't do that because to enable usb debugging mode you have to use the phone and the phone's screen is completely broken and there's no way to even get into it using the touch screen.

That's not good. You may want to return the phone.
For giggles go to bootloader and do factory reset 3 times in a row and see if it works.

maybe, with adb/fastboot installed on pc.
when in bootloader, does it show fastboot, and then change to fastboot USB when plugged in?
You could follow the tutorials to unlock, flash a recovery, install rom. and see what happens.

Same problem on Senses rom and when I installed the HTC drivers, it worked !
Try this
nailed it
a friend asked me to update my windows media player. i thought it was of little significance but i did and lo and behold it worked thank God
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..)

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
My phone is not recognized by any computer even if it's in download mode, I have twrp, and I am willing to do the nandroid backup method, the question is, if this process failed for any reason, would I be able to get a previous working status that I am on right now?
I am on a custom ROM LeeDroid Nougat 7.1 and latest TWRP.
Please advise me on how to get my phone working normally as it was, thanks.

Yes, the USB debugging is enabled and also the MTP is mounted as well, but how do I check to update the sdk tools?
If you are talking about the computer, I think the issue is in the phone, and that's because when I discovered this issue I noticed that when I connect my original charger, it was telling me Charging Rapidly, and now ain't say so but still charging well.

I have tried everything you can imagine, different cables, different ports and even different computers (desktop and laptop) I think the issue is in my device as it used to write rapidly charging while connected to the DC charger with the original cable and tried multiple ones with no success, it still charge well but I think something is missing in recognition the device USB, I am totally lost the connectivity between my phone and the computer even if I am in the download mode and/or recovery mode.
Any further ideas would be much appreciated.
I have found a thread that posted document for RUU installation and that includes Nandroid backup recovery file which is doable for me to copy the file into the recovery folder and to do the restore from the recovery (TWRP latest version) this file has a stock firmware for Oreo version, but I am not sure if I proceed with this what would happen as I mentioned earlier, I have no connection between my device and any computer which is mandatory to recover the device from any brick could happen, I need a confirmation on this step (Nandroid restore) so I can check, thanks in advance.
