So I was hoping some of you guys could help me out.
Recently my Vibrant started to give me trouble with my computer. But it's only my vibrant with my computer. I can connect to any other computer no problem. Any other device is easily recognized by my computer except the vibrant.
It started after using PDANET's tethering app. I was at one point tethering all the time putting my phone in usb debugging mode and running pdanet on my computer. Then I also started using the bluetooth tethering. Once I finally got internet at my new place i stopped using the tethering option. But then I realized when i tried to get files off my phone my computer wouldnt recognized my phone anymore.
The error I get is
USB Device Not Recognized.
One of the usb devices on this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognized it.
Usb Root Hub Unknown device.
Try Reconnecting the device if windows still does not recognized it replace the device.
In the device manager the properties of the "unknown device" says
Status: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
I've tried the solution posted under here
USB Fix - Win7 x64 - USB Device not Recognized
and I've used both drivers from Samsung Kies and here
[Drivers] MS Windows x86 and x64 USB Drivers for Samsung Galaxy S
(Sorry can't post links apparently)
When I try to update the driver manually for the unknown device it says that it has already selected the best driver for the device. So i don't know if it really updated it.
Any Suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks!

I have the same problem on my PC. I would plug in the phone and my mouse would stop working. No tethering app installed or anything.
Anyway, I just tried the ports on the back of the PC and those worked. Try a port closer to the MB
I've tried all my ports. It's still not recognized.
Check the cable and power source. Be sure cable is with good quality. I hade the same issue. I fixed it with original HTC cable and back panel USB from my deskop computer. Front USB of desktop computers often are not enough to power that consumption.
After updating to Froyo it started working again. Thanks though. I still have no clue what caused it.
Bumping to confirm, I found this thread after getting the same error. I had tried several of the USB ports on my computer but after reading this tried the 2 I hadn't yet, they both worked. Not sure why only those work now, but they do work.
Hope this helps someone.
I have a bricked galaxy s which doesn't do anything. Windows 7 reconizes an unknown device and it's not possible to install the samsung driver. Windows says that it allready has the right driver.
I can't seems to reincarnate my galaxy s. Only this small sign of live in windows 7.
It happened when I was flashing 2.3.5 and the connection went down just seconds after the start of flashing so I guess the bootloaders are corrupt.
Anyone any idea how to solve this one?
Vibrant UnBrickable Mod
The same thing is happening to my Vibrant. Tried Rooting and installing various ROMs and it is still "Not Recognized". Tried all ports on all PCs (4) and Laptops (1) and non of them work. espy1988, how did you upgrade to Froyo 2.2 if you could not connect to PC and Kies? This used to work without an issue.
Thanks

---------- Post added at 04:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 AM ----------
have u tried Odin back to stock using Odin or hemidal ?
I have the same problem now. I have had my Vibrant for over a year never with an issue. I have Odined it back to JFD dozens of times but now it will not recognize the usb device.
I have GB bootloaders, but never a problem before. When changing Roms I usually Odin back to JFD first and start clean.
My problem started with the phone getting stuck in landscape mode. I was running a 2.3.4 GB rom Sensation. I reflashed a few times but whenever a restored anything from Titanium it would revert back to landscape only. I decided to go back to a 2.2 rom and plugged in the phone to Odin and it was not recognized, also not as a mass storage device, no go. I used Samba to copy a 2.2 rom, Trigger, to the phone and flashed from there. The phone is good now except the computer still won't recognize it. I can use Samba to access the SDCard but I hate not being able to use Odin if things go south. Tried all usb ports and a new cable, no go. Really wierd.
Looking for suggestions......
If you're still under warranty claim it & send it.
Had same problem. There is no fix short of replacing USB port.
I found my problem. It was dirty/corroded usb port. I carefully cleaned it out (took a few times) and it's all functioning again. I also cleaned the contacts on my original usb cord and it is working again also.
I'm just now having this problem for the first time. I've tried all USB ports and cleaning the port on the phone with no luck so far. Can someone point me to the unbrickable mod mentioned early in this thread?

Have you tried installing the installing/re-installing the Samsung drivers (LINK), using another USB cable, or even another computer? I just want to make sure you've tried it all before attempting to do a hardware mod.
Anyhow, you can find a link to the unbrickable mod and other hardware mods in the "Official XDA Vibrant Bible Thread", under the "MODS/SCRIPTS" section (LINK).
Mine is the cable btw. My wife has a GSII and I was able to use her cable.

Please forgive me if I've missed a post somewhere, I've been searching for weeks for an answer to my problem and I still don't see one (similar cases, but either a-no answer or b-solution for another problem).
Computers:
A Windows 7 (32-bit) system and a Windows XP (32-bit) system.
Phone:
Samsung Vibrant SGH-T959
Firmware Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: T959UVJL5
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: Nero.v3
Description of Problem:
When I plug my phone into either or my two computers the following occurs - My phone recognizes that it is plugged in and begins charging; my computers do nothing.
When I was on Android 2.1 I could plug my phone into either of my two systems and my PCs would respond appropriately (ie. show the drive letters and let me access the device once I mounted the device).
Since the very first Android 2.2 install my computers act like nothing is happening. ADB doesn't see my phone, Odin is silent, and Windows doesn't show any drive letters nor does it even show that I am plugging in a USB device.
I have tried to correct this by changing the USB settings on the phone (Kies, Media Player, Mass storage, Ask on connection) and even trying to connect while in debug mode. Sadly, I never made a nandroid backup to take me back to the Android 2.1 install (idiot me took the plunge before reading up on that section).
I don't understand what would cause my phone to be treated as if it wasn't there. I've tried different USB ports, different MicroUSB cables, and even uninstalling/reinstalling the various device drivers for the phone.
I can get into download mode just fine, but what's the point if Odin can't see the phone since Windows thinks that nothing is there? Before you ask, yes, I tried going into download mode before starting Odin as well as after starting Odin; debug mode on and debug mode off. I've been trying all the combinations.
If anybody has any information beyond what is in the stickies, I would greatly appreciate it!
Do you see "USB connected" in notification bar on the phone? You can also turn on USB debugging mode in USB settings. If you see "USB connect" in pull down notification bar..tap on that and it will mount on your computer.
I experienced similar problem with.axura tool...phone well charge but doesn't pop out the mount notification. I power off both my phone and computer and it work again. I'm sure this won't on your scenario but just wanna inform you that it's not all hopeless...good luck
Yes. I have seen the mount USB bar. Bad news: even after it says mounted, the PCs react as if nothing has happened.

First of all, read this forum (last post is mine) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925393 - make sure you have kies or kies mini installed so that you have the correct drivers on your computer for your vibrant.
secondly, team whiskey has developed a fix for the mount issue your experiencing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846384&highlight=mount+fix
they also have the mount problem fixed in the later nero roms... should not be an issue. please let me know if this helps!

Okay, so I've tried all of the above to no effect except for the latest Nero rom...
Looks like I'll be trying the latest Nero (thank goodness for Dropbox).
Nope. Updating to the latest Nero [v5] didn't work.

I think I'm going to have to throw it under a bus...
This same thing happened to me and to fix this problem all I did was install the drivers I got online, PM me your email and ill send you the drivers
I am almost certain that it is drivers issue more than your phone or any rom. You need to completely uninstall current drivers..all traces of em, reboot and install drivers from samsung website or there are some here in vibrant section also. It happened to me couple of times where one set of drivers stopped working for no reason and i had to try couple of different ones.
I had the same problem. Phone would charge but not connect. I solved it by getting a new usb cable. I just use the bad one for charging now
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
This is a driver problem. Your computer does not have the phone drivers and is confused on what to make of your phone so it finally decides that it is a charging device more or less and will not mount it, EVEN if you select mount from your phone options.
Please look on this forum or ask the guy who posted before for the Samsung USB drivers. Install them on your computer and then mounting the phone from the notification bar will work.
Hope that helps and feel free to ask again if you are stuck on the process.
I thought it was a driver issue as well until last week.
My coworker has the same model phone and is currently running 2.2.
He has his laptop (Windows XP) setup to handle his phone.
When he plugs his equipment in, everything works. When he plugs my phone in, same old story...
Even when trying different MicroUSB cables.
This is why I'm considering loading up a different/modified kernel.

I'm trying to use my 64-bit windows laptop to install the recently leaked ICS update on my SGH i717. Which as of now is only available as a .exe file. The problem is (confirmed by samsung tech support) that the i717 is incompatible with 64-bit windows, and isn't even recognized by my computer. Is there any way to remedy this? I do not have access to any 32-bit machines, and I really want this update!! Thankyou.
I installed the leak via the Odin exe. on my 64 bit machine with no problems.
Really? I can't even get my computer to recognize my phone, not even as usb storage. I've installed and reinstalled every driver I could find. I've even plugged it into a couple different computers. The best answer I could get was that it was because of the my windows version from the samsumg tech support woman. Is there a special driver out there or am I missing something?

I don't have a problem with my 64 bit system recognizing and mounting my i717. It didn't work at first, but it turned out that my stock samsung data cable was faulty. Used a different cable and haven't had an issue since.

Well I tried a few chords. Is there any root methods that I can do from the device without a computer?
Download the latest Kies.
Let it install and make sure you select the USB drivers.
Uninstall Kies because it's ****.
Leave drivers.
Replug handset (make sure debugging is on)
This should put you in the clear mate. If it doesn't, get the Android Development Kit for the proper ADB drivers
Go to shop development, look for the pre root kernel, download USB drivers. It works, but your computer doesn't have the drivers for the phone

Thanks everyone for your replies. I'll keep trying
That's a damn lie. I have a new 27" iMac with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit installed on it. I have successfully connected my Galaxy Note to the computer, every time.
There is a problem with how to get the computer to recognize your phone, that I never had with any of my HTC phones... With my HTC EVO's, all I had to do was connect my phone to a USB, and a bunch of options would automatically pop-up, asking me how I wanted to use my phone. I'd select the option to use my phone as a 'USB Storage Device,' and a few seconds later, my computer would automatically recognize my phone.
You can't seem to do it this way with Samsung phones. What you have to do, is:
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS NOT ALREADY CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER VIA USB!!! This is a must! Your computer will not recognize your phone if it's already connected BEFORE following the other steps.
Go to SETTINGS.
Select the first option (WIRELESS AND NETWORK).
Then you must select USB UTILITIES.
A screen saying "USB Mass Storage" will pop-up, and there will be a button you have to press stating, "CONNECT STORAGE TO PC."
Upon selecting "Connect Storage to PC," then and ONLY THEN, you will finally connect your phone to the USB.
If you follow these steps, after a few seconds, your computer will download any necessary drivers, and eventually it will recognize your phone. I am not sure why it's this difficult to do this on Samsung phones. Like I said, HTC phones are really simple. It doesn't matter when you connect the USB on HTC phones. Samsung, you can only connect it at a certain time. I hope this works for you.
I also run Windows 7 64 on my laptop, and have no problem with my Note. Odin, files transfers, Kies, everything works.

I used to use my old pen 4 desktop(one im typing from now) to do all my phone modding... When I bought my galaxy I thought that this machine was too sketchy and decided to use my win7 64bit xps laptop... Flawless.
Okay, so the samsung woman gave me the wrong information. Thanks Dr. Evo. I tryed your technique with no success. I haven't had any luck with anything. Could this possibly be a problem with my device? I'm considering a trip to the at&t store.
same here....
Funny... I'm now having the same issue on my laptop.... It connects fine to my 2k8 R2 x64 Server just fine. That one is an old and heavily upgraded Dell D9100 tower. I'm pretty sure I got it recognized on my ASUS U43J Bamboo laptop with Win7 Pro x64 when first got the phone. I've since reimaged and did a fresh install of the OS and drivers, and I'm certain that I reinstalled all the drivers and updates.
Tired the drivers built into KIES 2.0 - fail
Tried the USB_Driver_for_ATT_I717_Galaxy_Note_v1_3_2200_0 driver I used on my 2k8 server - fail
About to try some other drivers I found here. If something works, I'll report it...
***UPDATE***
Before trying any other drivers I decided to try one more thing...
With the phone connected via USB, shut the phone down, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on. On my laptop, PnP found three devices and installed the drivers when the phone powered on:
SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device
SGH-I717
SAMSUGN Mobile USB Modem
Kies 2.0 then saw the device... still sitting there saying "Connecting..." but at least I'm one step further...

I'm sorry my advice didn't help. I honestly have no idea what your issue could be. Are you still within your 30-day return window? If you were, I'd ask for a replacement phone, or if you bought your phone at an AT&T Store or BB, ask if anyone in the store has the ability to connect your phone to a laptop or computer in the store to see if they can get it to work.
For me it worked on 2 different Win 64 installs.
Here is what I did:
Install Kies. On the phone go to settings>apps>development and then check on USB debugging.
Phone connects perfectly. You can see the phone listed as a device in my computer. Clicking on it allows you to access both the USB storage and SD card.
To other poster saying you NEED to enable USB storage. You don't. It works in MTP mode.
Unplug all other usb hardware. Try another jack and cable. Don't use a hub. All virus and firewall software should be off. Log on to windows update with the phone plugged in and turned on. You might have to reboot and check again.
Ok so I was previously running Hydr0g3n ICS ROM an older version and I had mount problems where only internal sd would mount, but it mounted at least. Occasionally I'd have to reboot my laptop because of no detection but that'd fix it.
Fast forward to a couple of days ago and I installed Resurrection Remix 04/05 but got really weird issues when connecting to my laptop e.g. installing device drivers, failing, usb sounds coming and going, device being recognised then disappearing again. Eventually no response. I reflashed, fully wiped, everything, experimented with drivers. Then plugged it into a mates (newer) laptop and it worked?
Back to mine, didn't work, installed Hydr0g3n ICS 05/05 which ran a lot smoother but still same issues, I repeated the steps above and even after device drivers actually successfully installed, it'd work and then next day no response or detection when plugging in USB. Since then I've gone through the drivers route again, trying all sorts of windows fixes, it still works fine when plugged into a newer laptop.
So after all my research etc I've realised that it seems to be some sort of power issue with the phone/ROM, perhaps the newer laptops have more USB hubs which aren't shared between many devices and so it works but mine is very intermittent if not non-existent. Oh, all other USB devices work, flash drives, external hard drives, I have never had any issues with any USB devices. Just this.
Also, I've tried toggling USB Debugging, and MTP UMS PTP, nothing. Read something about fast charge but have no notification that it's enabled on boot and no option to disable it in Kernel tweaks since I'm not on a supported kernel.
Hydr0g3n ICS ROM 2012 05 05 SGS2
3.0.29 Siyah v3.1.2
Any help would be much appreciated.
UPDATE:
I ordered a powered USB hub off eBay, it arrived today and did not work with the phone.
UPDATE 2:
So I recently stole my dads TouchPad and installed AOKP on it, my laptop detected it absolutely fine in MTP mode.
It uses the same cable so I figured, why not?
I plugged it in and hey presto, it popped up -_-
It's so strange the stock cable works on everyone elses laptops but mine, I don't know if it'll still work tomorrow though, I suppose if I don't re-comment then it still is working.
Bump?

just try 2 flash the latest siyah kernel and check
On Windows 7, after several USB connect-disconnect, I would experience Windows not responding to connection any more on that very USB port.
I usually have adb server running in background, so "Safely remove" feature is blocked, and I would simply remove after file operations are over.
I made a .bat file on desktop, that simply performs "adb kill-server", so that I can safely remove it, and have not experienced this problem since then.

Could you perhaps explain this a little more to me?
I plug it in and literally it charges but absolutely nothing else happens. Anything else works in the same port, just not the phone for some reason.
USB problems basics .
USB port should be mainboard port .
Usb Port on phone multiple USB problem posts say clean port .
Kies or Samsung USB drivers should be installed with Kies not running .
USB cable try Samsung cable or another .
Try USB debugging off and or on .

1) Yes they are all mainboard ports - No response.
2) Have cleaned USB ports on mainboard many times. This seems irrelevant too since all other devices are recognized.
3) Have also experimented with combinations of this. (All combinations) Nothing.
4) I have only tried the Samsung cable since it's all I have, and it works on all of my friends laptops.
Also, I plug it in, and it draws power (aka it charges) but nothing else. Not even a windows 'bong'. Even with the powered USB hub, it still only charges.
However the minute I plug it into a friends laptop it seems to work just fine.
@ op
goto device manager and uninstall the android devices you see there with the option "delete device drivers completely" and make a reboot.
now install the usb drivers and plug in the device.

This last point tells me there are possibly some registry settings on your computer that are keeping the drivers from loading properly.
I've never had to do this, so I don't know what to look for EXACTLY, but you may need to get a registry cleaner and try to eradicate all traces of Kies and Samsung drivers from your computer, then re-install either Kies (to get the drivers) or the stand-alone USB drivers.
I remember reading another post some time back about some other guy who actually totally re-installed Windows... which is a bit like using explosives to kill a mosquito, if you ask me.
However, try bala_gamer's suggestion first. That may be all that is needed.

So believe it or not I didn't actually go into detail in the op! But a few more things to note are that the device does not show up in device manager at all. Even with shadow device detection enabled. I have used all manner of driver software available to clear out all old usb drivers/any drivers which may be conflicting etc. I have also removed and reinstalled the usb host controllers and root hubs many times

Yes, indeed I also believed it to be some sort of registry problem, I have also used tune up utlities, registry mechanic and ccleaner (I think thats all there was!) and run registry scans/cleans/fixes/defrags. To no avail. I was actually considering reinstalling windows or something.

Yes, my bad, I have also cleaned that too. Also I didn't think it could be that since it seems to work on everyone elses laptop.
Just deleted those registry entries, rebooted. Nothing. Deleted a few more from old software which seemed to still be floating around, rebooted. Nothing.

I had the same problem with AOKP ROMs
I had the same problem with AOKP ROMs and then I installed MIUI and it worked again, I guess you can try any other ROM (not AOKP) and check if it solves your problem.
So I recently stole my dads TouchPad and installed AOKP on it, my laptop detected it absolutely fine in MTP mode.
It uses the same cable so I figured, why not?
I plugged it in and hey presto, it popped up -_-
It's so strange the stock cable works on everyone elses laptops but mine, I don't know if it'll still work tomorrow though, I suppose if I don't re-comment then it still is working.
People!, I'm about to pull all my hair out on this one
Vibrant is soft bricked in a boot loop after a incomplete flash, I am able to get it into download mode but both my windows machines say USB device isnot recognized, and thus, I cant use ODIN to return to stock. When I try to manually point windows to the samsung drivers I get nothing…
So far I have tried drivers from:
-Bay_wolf's AIO Vibrant Toolbox 2.5
-USB drivers for vibrant from samsung support site
-Drivers from samsung keyes
Side notes that might help: I was perviously using a Hellybean Rom. My device displays "Galaxy S gt-9000" on boot... not sure when that came to be but maybe some rom changed some important recognition stuff??...
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008383 but no help...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Try a different USB cable. This happens more than you'd think. Even cables that have worked just fine hundreds of times.
Also.... Locate the drivers in system/device manager and delete them manually and try to install them again. Unplug device and install fresh ones from either aio toolbox or Kies, then plug phone back in.
Best of luck!

Thanks a ton for reply but, sadly, no dice.
Tried connecting the phone, getting the "unrecognized device" prompt, finding "unknown device" in device manager, right clicking to uninstall. rebooting my machine, using various install methods to re-install drivers, re-connecting, and nothing.. same issue...
I lost the original cable a while back, but can't accept that NONE of the other 5 cables used are all broke... specially if the computer recognizes something going on... is it worth buying a new one?
Losing hope here, been like this for 4 days now, think it's time to go get a new phone. :crying:
Even so, it would have been nice to get what was a perfectly working phone back if only to keep it as a mp3 payer.
If anybody in New York, NY has a working odin set up that can do this for me, I have a 6 pack of your favorite beer with your name on it.
It could be a hardbrick such as bootloader getting corrupted that happened to my Sony Xperia Play (now an expensive paper weight).
I assume you boot into download mode by holding the two volume buttons, then connect the cable? Have you tried on a different PC? It can also be the weak powered USB port on the PC. Also when you uninstall the Samsung driver, check the option to also delete USB driver and uninstall any drivers. Also which version of the driver are you using, have you tried version Samsung USB Driver 1.5.3? And the drivers from here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-T959ZKATMB#
For what its worth, the gt i9000 screen appears after your on a custom GB boot loader and Odin back to stock (or probably Odin flashing any other ROM) you can change it by flashing the GB boot loader again. My phone says its a i9000 too, but I'm just about lazy enough to not bother changing it, lol.
So that's unrelated.

Ok, faith momentarily restored. But I have questions:
-What do you mean when you say "check the option to also delete USB driver and uninstall any drivers"? I dont get such a prompt from right clicking on "unknown device" and selecting uninstall? Is there another method to uninstalling drivers?
-In the link attached, I can only find "Device(Install),USB Driver (Software) (ver.1.0)" not the 1.5.3 version mentioned. What am i doing wrong here? currently searching google for the 1.5.3 but finding nothing.
I get into download mode by holding volume- up + power. Have 2 PCs ( win xp and win 7) and a mac running mountain lion (but never ever have been able to get Heimdall to work, so devoting time to odin.)
Thank you for the time + help, guys, I really do appreciate it in the time of utter un-nerdness.
If the device is already installed it will have a check box that said "Delete the driver software for this device." If its unknown then obviously not. By "uninstall any driver", I mean uninstall any Android drivers you current have installed and reboot before you reinstall the new driver.
Although I doubt it will make a difference than the one I linked above, you can try the Samsung driver version 1.5.3: http://www.mediafire.com/?r0uc3h413qcy80z
If you did manage to get into download mode and see this: http://images.google.com/search?num=10&hl=en&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&q=download+mode
Then it mean there is a very good chance you can restore the phone, if you can find a computer to recognize it and Odin to see a COM port.
I definitely think it would be worth the money to go buy an OEM USB cord. I can't tell you how many times I have seen this and a new USB is the fix.

OK guys...
My friend, who also owns a Vibrant, let me borrow the cable that came with the phone for the last 2 days.
Tried to make ODIN work on both PCs at home, gave Heimdall a shot on my mac, even hijacked a computer at work for the better part of the morning and freshly installed USB drivers 1.5.3 before connecting. All for nothing... “Unknown device” across the board....
At first I felt that with being able to get into download and have SOME kind of a reaction from connecting to PC had to be a good sign. Almost completely convinced that there is some unknown, unworkable hardware problem present. Definitely, officially, unremarkably out of ideas here.
Nothing is beautiful and everything hurts.
Last thoughts? Options at this point?
Also, tried One-click Unbrick tool on mac. I got a "is your phone plugged in, is it on download mode?" error, but anyone reading this down the line with a similar problem should check it out.

Hi guys!
I have a rooted international Galaxy S3 (i9300) phone with a custom rom: UltimaRom (version 8.x), and using XXELLA kernel (?) and XXELLA Modem version.
Since a while, I'm trying to manage the files in it (phone memory or sd card) from my computer, simply by using an USB cable (the one given with the phone or even other cables, it doesn't matter) and the standard MTP protocol, which is used by Google since Android 3.0. And, whatever I try to do, Windows doesn't seem to notice anything. In my device manager, nothing appears. Nothing either in the "My Computer" window, it just doesn't "exist". No reaction at all from Windows. The Phone's charging, but this is all it is.
And I have the same problem using another computer (like my own laptop, or my brother's one). All computers are running Windows 8 x64 Pro.
I tried to install, re install, delete, etc. all the phone drivers I have on this computer, tried to install Samsung Kies, tried some "mounting" apps on the Play Store, nothing's working.
What should I do to make it work?
Thanks a lot!
Might be stating the obvious but is your phone set at usb debugging? I have the same issue from time to time but when I unplug and plug back it fixes itself.
Hope you get your stuff fixed soon.

Thanks for your response.
Yes, USB Debugging is enabled.

That's odd.. I use Ultima ROM and have updated to 8.1.1. I just checked just to make sure (my last update was done OTA) and yeah, computer recognized phone right away.. heard a little computer sound and everything. I am also running Windows 8
The base changed in v8. If you haven't done a fac reset since then you should try that.
Ok I just tried to make a factory reset, nothing changes...
Oh, and if that can help: when the phone's booting, Windows says "Unrecognized device". When it's booted up, it disapears.
Anyone ?
Drivers...
I used these drivers.
It worked for me...

Any other ideas ?
Sorry to keep rising this thread but this issue is really annoying... :/

I still have the same problem. No other ideas please ?

Does Easy UMS work?
Can you connect via adb?
Does Odin recognize the phone?
If no to all of the above, try a different cable / port

Thank you for your response !
- Easy UMS doesn't seem to work, even if the app doesn't show any error on the phone
- How do I connect via ADB ? I tried to connect the phone while it is in Download Mode, nothing appears on Windows or Odin
- As I said, in Download Mode, Odin doesn't seems to recognize anything...
And of course, I already tried to change the cable, the USB port, or even the computer i'm connecting the phone to...
Thanks again for your help
Starting to sound like a damaged micro USB port on the phone possibly, or a driver's problem
Oh, and there's a thing: when I reboot the phone, while the Samsung logo appears on the screen with the short jingle, the PC makes 3 or 4 times a sound like something has been plugged, and showes a "Unrecognized device" warning window. When the boot is finished, and the rom is loaded, everything just disappears and no sound is any longer made by the PC.
Also, please note that when I connect the phone to the PC (using the same PC, cable and USB port of course), the phone charges up just like before, without any problem.
have you tried the old drivers?
search Google for " Samsung USB drivers 1.4.6.0 "
disconnect your computer from the internet
Install the drivers.
don't reconnect to the internet.
connect your phone and let windows find the drivers
