I was trying to flash 2.2 over Bionix with the custom kernals, didnt work and for someone reason the phone wont recognize sd cards anymore either.... tried 3 and none worked.
I get to the stock recovery and it will recognize the adb thing but when I enter that odin thing my computer doesnt notice the phone.
Anyone got any idea what I should do?

Install the drivers relevant for your PC from the ODIN thread and give it a try, try changing the USB ports. Many of them on these complained about this, patience helps. Make sure, you reboot your pc between, uninstall of drivers.

Searched and did not find this in the Vibrant forum.
My Vibrant suddenly will not mount. I have it set to MASS STORAGE as it always has been, and now it won't bring up the USB notification on the phone and I get a USB Device not recognized error in Windows XP and Windows 7.
The phone is NOT rooted. I flashed JI2 with ODIN. I know it worked after that because I copied back my music movies and games back to the Vibrant from pc's running XP and 7.
Any ideas?
I had that happen to me, too, after I had soft-bricked my phone and then tried to use Odin to recover. I ended up getting the phone back through Clockwork Recovery, but by then it had stopped being recognized in Windows. Try re-installing the drivers (available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929). That fixed the problem for me.
Tried those, don't work for me. Not sure what the heck is going on. Finally get the phone working nicely with the JI2 update and now this...sheesh.
Any other suggestions?? I confirmed that it's not a driver issue, I tried my coworkers vibrant on my PC and his and it mounts fine. When I connect mine, same old error. I even did a factory reset, same results.
I have the exact same problem.. my vibrant soft bricked, so I reflashed stock rom with ODIN and it seemed to be fine.. then after a while it just stopped being recognized on my computer. Tried both on mine and my husband's. It's not the drivers, I've installed and reinstalled. There doesn't seem to be any fix for this??
sorry to bump an old thread but was there ever a solution for this?

I don't know if it's the drivers. I think it has something to do with Odin. I softbricked my vibrant twice and had to use Eugene's Froyo that won't brick then back to 2.1 and finally a custom rom. I think somewhere in there something happened...
I havent used odin lately . It was working fine then it just stoped working . I got the drives to show up but it window say "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it" .
Couple of things you can try:
1) Try setting the USB mode to Samsung Kies. Somehow, mass storage never worked for me, but Kies mode works just fine.
2) Try installing ES File Explorer from the market. With that you can get into a home network while on WiFi, thus allowing you to transfer data between your computer and phone using your WiFi network, thereby eliminating the need for cables.
So far I've done a few things and i still get "USB device not recognized" .
Here's what I've done .
1) reinstalled drivers
2) formatted internal and external
3) restored to a previous nandroid

Is it recognized in any other computer ?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Mine is not recognized by any computer, by odin or kies at all. This happened after I flashed a rom using odin fixing a soft brick. I don't know if it is a hardware problem or not, I have flashed to different roms using rom manager and usb is still not being recognized.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
My computer wont recognize my phone at all, it just says 'USB device not recognized'. I have tried reinstalling drivers, using different USB cables, USB debugging mode, mass storage mode and mounting the SD card ALL of that.. so I know it's something wrong with the phone rather than my drivers or me being stupid. I have searched to try and find a fix for this but nothing is forthcoming.. I think it may be a faulty USB port on my phone.
Anyway, this means I can't use ODIN to flash my phone back to stock so what I want to do is flash my phone back to stock T959UVJI6 using a zip file and ROM manager if possible.. but I have looked everywhere and can't find a zip for stock ROM... Every method I've seen says to use ODIN which is impossible for me.
Any help on this or a link to where I can download a stock ROM zip would be appreciated.
ok I managed to flash Bionix Fusion 1.2 which is ok, seems to be running fine. I still can't connect to my computer though I guess I will have to get the USB port checked out.
Sounds like an issue on the PC side if it recognized the phone was connected. You sure you got the drivers... are you using the cable that came with the phone? Sounds crazy, but i had issues using my nexus one cable one time.
I tried with the cable that came with my phone and also my husband's micro usb cable.. I downloaded the drivers from the link given in the XDA forums, tried to restore drivers from KIES, downloaded drivers from other spots too.. none of them work. I also tried to connect to my husband's PC and it said 'USB device not recognized' as well. I noticed a couple of other posts where this has happened to people and there seems to be no software/using different cable solution.. I am guessing I'll just have to get the phone looked at as I'm not savvy enough to go about it myself! Thanks for the advice though
Here is the stock JK6

Thank you, I will flash this one when I get home
ive researched for hours on the forums trying to fix my vibrant and I cant seem to find a situation similar to mine.
So i tried to install a rom from the romkitchen website. before that I did not have any rom I was just rooted via OCLF and i had just updated to the newest clockwork recovery. i did a nandroid backup and proceeded to install the rom. after it installed it just hangs at the first screen that says vibrant samsung. only it doesnt say that. it say galaxy s gt i9000. i tried to restore my nandroid file but it says it cant mount the sdcard. anything regarding the internal or external sdcard wont work. the recovery also looks different from the one i had before. it says clockworkmod recovery v2.5.1.0 speedmod ULFK at the top. and thats the only recovery i am able to access. i tried to odin back to stock and i tried so many different methods but no matter what i do it wont register in any odin version nor in that alternate odin program. i keep disconnecting/ reconnecting but nothing. i just get a a popup in the bottom corner that says one of the usb devices attached to the computer has malfunctioned. i dont know what else to do. any help would be greatly appreciated. im getting off the computer now so please email me at [email protected] if you can help. ive gone back to using my g1 for the time being
Use a usb port on the back of the computer .
hook up yer phone to computer , reinstall drivers , if u are not bricked because i dont know i didnt read everything u posted lol enable usb denbug and reinstall drivers than .
Im pretty sure I did the same thing a long time ago. I thought my phone was screwed.
Definitely try plugging it into another usb port if you have one first. Supposedly the ones in the back of the computer are better. If you have to, try every usb port you have.
Also, make sure youre downloading the drivers that are right for your opertaing system. For example, if you have windows xp 32bit, dont download the drivers for windows 7 64bit.
Even just reinstalling the drivers didnt work. I dont remember step by step, but I got into recovery, and wiped my cache and user data and was then able to have odin recognize my phone. Be careful in recovery mode though, because if I remember right it remapped my volume buttons, (up was down and down was up)
Lastly, make sure if/when you get odin to recognize it, you put the .tar file in the right spot (PDA) and make sure its checked. you need to have the .pit file there too, the 512 pit is the one Im pretty sure you want to have, not the 513, one is just newer. You probably want to make sure the re-partition box isnt checked in odin too.
Its been a while since Ive had to use odin, so I may be wrong on a few things, like which pit file is newer and so forth.
Hi
i was installing a stock rom last night and I got the Firmware Upgrade encountered....
The phone wont boot into recovery, it will how ever go into download mode but odin will not detect it no matter what I do
Tried every set of drivers I could find, no luck.
I am on windows 7 64 bit.
Is the phone bricked, it shows no binary count in download, would it be covered under warranty?
Really need to get my phone back if anyone can help, I have tried everything at this stage, I think
Thanks
Did you already installed the Kies software? It will install the Galaxy S2 drivers, maybe that is the problem. If it really doesn't work, try another computer with the Kies functioning!

dont forget that you need to start odin before you plug the phone in, if you can get into download mode then it's not bricked

Done that mate, thats the frustrating part, I can get into DL and know what to do but on three computers, I cant get it to work and ODIN always worked for me. I have had at least 300 roms on this phone but being stuck in DL mode sucks when I cant get progress, even returning to stock and using the factory tar files. I cant get any furhter than DL screen thanks for your help
Hi guys,
I have been searching for hours but I can't seem to find how to fix my problem.
I have a new Z5 Compact that I was trying to flash with the stock firmware but I somehow managed to brick it. I don't think I had the drivers installed properly when I tried to flash with flashtool but since flashtool didn't even detect my phone or appear to begin flashing it I don't know how I bricked it. Anyway after trying for hours to fix it on my own I can't seem to find the information that I need. I have installed the drivers properly as far as I can tell by allowing unsigned drivers on windows 10 but whenever I boot to flash mode the phone isn't detected. Nothing even comes up in Device Manager so there are no options to update drivers or anything. I just hold the volume down button, plug in the usb, the LED briefly flashes red before holding on green and then nothing happens. Neither Flashtool or PC Companion detect the phone and I have tried this on 2 different laptops running Windows 7 and Windows 10. If anyone has any instructions on how to get this to work on Ubuntu I'm willing to try that too as I also have Ubuntu installed but I am really at a loss for what else I can try.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

sounds dumb but have you tried a different port and different cable? i ran into the same problem and found out one of the ports on my laptop doesnt work for data. flashtool is a major pain, it took me three pcs to find one that it worked with and then it took a good 5 tries and reboots to have a successful flash. flashing twrp and then xpower would be easier imo.

Yeah, I have tried 7 ports and 3 cables across two different pcs. There's a desktop I can try on but I'll wait until tomorrow. It's really frustrating. I just wanted to root so that I could batch install my apps from Titanium but now I have got a brick. In the time that I have spent trying to fix it I could have selected and installed all the apps individually.

keep trying, it'll work after you figure out whats wrong with your install, flashtool is real finnicky. If your already soft bricked and only want root id suggest fastboot twrp 3.0.2 then flash xpower 3.0 and be done with it. the only real reason to use flashtool is to flash a new image onto the phone because you cant take an ota.

Oh, you mean to do that once I have fixed my current issue.
Hmm, I seem to be having a smiliar issue, except instead of flashmode, mine isn't detected in fastboot mode, tried a crap load of drivers and usb ports etc..
EDIT: Got it fixed after following this guide

I tried following that guide but when I try to install the driver it just says "The INF file you selected does not support this method if installation". You didn't happen to have that problem and find a workaround did you?
Just an update on what I have tried if anyone has any suggestions...
I tried inserting a SIM in case that would make any difference. I have also tried it on a desktop pc as well as the two laptops now which is windows 7, 8.1 and 10. The Windows 8.1 attempt was a clean install and I used the advanced boot method to enable the installation of unsigned drivers. I had high hopes for that but it didn't work. What I find curious is there is no activity when I plug the phone in, in flash mode. If I plug it in, in fastboot mode it searches for drivers and the device appears in device manager but with flash mode I get nothing. I'm beginning to think that perhaps the device itself has a faulty flash mode.

Sadly no :/
I managed to flash a Z5 Compact with the same model number without any issues on the same computer that won't detect my handset so I'm pretty sure that it's an issue specific to this handset. Thanks everyone for their suggestions.
