Help!!!! pc wont recognize vibrant - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my laptop with windows 7 32 bit wont recognize my vibrant on Bionix-v , i tried odin, re flashing bionix, reformatting phone, reinstalling drivers, and kies, kies mini.
still nothing!!!!!. i still get "usb no recognized"
im lost i dont know what could be wrong.
any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

little more info....please
what are you trying to do? Is your phone stuck in a boot cycle? Is it soft-bricked? Just trying to mount to computer? Not sure what to say until i get more answers....thanks!

the phone works fine but i cant mount the usb storage i keep getting "usb device not recognized" i have every single driver i can find, still no luck

i forgot to mention that even in usb debugging, download mode it does the same thing. i cant connect it to odin or AIO tool box it gives me the same messege.
plus i dont know how to tell if the phone is soft bricked.
Please help i use my phone for work i need it to upload files to my pc

Use bluetooth or wireless until you figure it out. Also you could put it on your external sd and transfer it.

I cant even connect the external sd card, i dont know whats wrong

Something like this happened to me. Try turning debugging off

Unable to connect phone to computer

Please help me, I'm unable to connect my X10i to computer any more. It was fine last week but now whenever I plug in the USB, it only charge the phone and there was no mount/connect option poped up on the phone either. Anyone now the solution, I appreciate your help. Thanks
never seen that, hmmm try another port or flash again
it's just weird cause it is detecting it unless there's a way to set it as a diff option instead of mass storage
Well, I tried to flash it but the phone just couldnt connect to my computer or any other computer. Just kinda strange...

new to the vibrant, maybe i bricked it

i picked it up used with stock rom, no mods. i rooted, then installed nero v3 with voodoo and then v5 with voodoo.... then i tried a custom battery mod and it screwed my phone up... cant get past the vibrant start screen, cant read the ext sd and the phone drivers will not work... computer detects it, but no drivers are installed. i have used the 32 bit driver 64 bit drivers, kies, kies mini, odin v1 and v1.7, still nothing... i can get into cwm recovery, but only with voodoo enabled, and can get into download mode, but i cant seem to get the computer to read it. have used 4 different computer, win 7 and 32 bit xp....also have tried drivers with pdanet and easy tether, but still no luck... can you offer any help to me??? thanks in advance.
as of u have done so much and nothing helped i would cry , and for not readin on how to unbrick your phone right on top of the forum you should cry too .
and if look good enough every 3rd thread that is made is how to unbrick the phone
@bartek
OK...OMG dude... you had like 5 posts 3 days ago...how are you helping this individual out other then giving him all your illegible ramblings that you are posting and ridiculing individuals as you go .. I'm sry, I don't mean to rant but damn...
Anyway OP, your just soft bricked. If you can get into d/l mode then I would either go ahead and ODIN back or if you can get into CWM recovery and you still have Nero 5 in your root, I would just reflash it and it should take care of it...enable voodoo when you flash Nero 5 ..you should be ok.
First off, I have been searching the forums for almost two weeks now and cannot find a solution....I have tried everything......the first problem is that no matter what drivers I use, the computer still says usb device not recognized, so I cannot get odin or heimdall to communicate, neither kies or kies mini.....
Well, now I turned it on this morning and I cannot get into cwm or dload mode.....just keeps bootlooping and linda talks and says riskful operation, then reboots......I am lost, don't know what else to do, I'm gonna throw this phone out the window

I gotcha.... not to sound like an idiot but have you tried a different usb port? If your using one on the front, try ones in the back if your on a desktop.. if that doesnt work try running ODIN in XP SP3 compatibility mode

I think he's saying that odin doesn't detect his phone and therefore doesn't light up yellow. Happened to me too. I'm on the epic. I tried everything. But odin finally found my device. Try different usb ports, a different wire, reboot both phone and pc. Switch between usb debugging on and off. Try it with sideloading enabled and not. I eventually found a combimation that worked. These phones are fickle. It'll work eventually.

As far as I know, ODIN wont recognize your phone without being in download mode and drivers installed on your computer.

No I believe you need the correct drivers installed. At this point either your missing something or don't have the correct driver to install. Maybe someone can point out where all the proper drives are for you to download
speachless ....if u wont follow what i wrote im helpless.goodbye. and why u turning your phone on dude download mode is battery out phone connected to ANY usb port hold vol up vol down hold all time and puit battery in
if that doesent help your phones usb is **** or the cable is ****
btw, i have tried installing all the proper driver from the proper threads... 32 bit, 64 bit, ive tried kies and kies mini for vibrant, heimdall drivers also.... NOTHING WORKS...
i appreciate everones help... thank you.
This is what I do to get it working. I open odin first and load all the needed files.
I then plug the usb cord into the usb first before plugging it into the phone.
with odin open and the phone completely off. I hold down the volume rocker and plug in the usb. I get download mode to work almost everytime.
For me the stock cable I got with mine doesnt work. I have to use a different cord or it acts like it doesnt see my phone.

Phone not being recognized in USB mode in recovery

Hey guys, I'm trying to update the VOID rom from Delta to Charlie and I'm using my PC now. I'm trying to toggle it to USB mode but it's not recognized on my PC. I usually do it at my friend's place and it recognizes it perfectly but on my PC it doesn't.
When I plug it in, it says "LG Android USB Device - Not recognized" or "No Driver Found"
How do I go about fixing this? I've already wiped the data and everything, just need to put the zip file in.
Been trying to get a hold of my friend but he's got class until tonight, and I kinda wanna not be depending on him if I need to do stuff with my phone, so I might as well try to get the drivers on my PC.
Any help would be great
Ok, so I just found the most random fix.
I took out the SD card, kept the cover off, booted into recovery, put the SDcard back in and mounted it, toggle USB and it worked.
So random but it worked!

I had the same problem, and the fix was to install the LG USB driver from the microSD card included with the phone.
Hello people, I have the same problem.
It works well but when I go into recovery and I toggle USB nothing happens.
Where can I find the drivers?
Which driver do I have to uninstall?

Download the LG Mobile Support tool first ... from there you can download the LG USB Drivers ... Once they are installed, your SD card will be detected in recovery ..
Nothing to uninstall ... PM if you need help
Could also just put the microSD in a card reader and put the ZIP on that way

[Q] Please help -- soft bricked

I have been searching for someone with a similar situation and i can't seem to find anything, and I am totally lost. Please please please help...
I tried to go to CM from bionix and ended up completely bricked -- i guess i forgot to disable voodoo or some such thing. In any case, I believe I was able to get it repartitioned with Heimdall on a PC -- but Odin wouldn't recognize the phone at all.
I don't have access to the pc, so I now have a mac with heimdall and it doesn't recognize the phone at all. Nothing.
I can get to download, and when the phone boots up into Android system recovery <2e> but doesn't go beyond that. It tries to find /sdcard/update.zip but no such file.
How do I get that file on the phone? even if I am able to get back to heimdall on the pc, how do i get that file on the phone?
Thanks so much for any help!

Well if you can at least boot download mode, and recovery, your soft bricked. It would appear that you have a poor connection to your Mac in that case. Try a different USB cable, or even borrow a friends PC. Preferably, use the Samsung USB cable.

You could use adb commands to push the file into your phone but you would still have to be able to connect to a pc. Like whatiznt said, try a T-Mobile or Samsung brand cable. It that doesn't work then the micro usb port on your phone could be bad. Just to make sure, when you boot into recovery mode are you selecting reinstall packages? You usually have to do this twice for it to work. EDIT,I guess you already tried that since you say the update.zip can't be found.
