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.
So I switched to the energy miui yesterday and it worked for like 20 minutes then wouldn't boot up anymore. for hours I kept getting "usb device not recognized" error then out of nowhere I got it to work and started to use odin to flash back. Well during that time it failed and wouldn't start up for awhile but now I can get it into download mode again but my pc won't recognize my vibrant no matter what I do.
I run win 7 x64 with 2 different cables, 2 vibrants (the other vibrant has zero problems connecting and works every time with my pc) and I've tried different usb ports. I've taken the battery out re plugged the usb several times and even tried installing all my usb hubs and nothing.
What can I do to get my computer to recognize my vibrant so I can fix it?
Usually i get "usb device not recognized" message when some stupid reason samsung drivers stop working. What i do is uninstall them, reboot and then install them again. Give it a try, also make sure you're connected to usb port on back of the computer. You can also try heimdall if odin doesn't recognize your phone. Couple of time that has worked for me also.
Try installing Samsung Kies mini, it will automatically install the drivers so that your device can hopefully be recognized, if that does not work, well just use your other vibrant.
I gave that a try but I cannot seem to get heimdall to even work. I keep getting random errors each time. 3 different ones so far. Is there any other way I can do to force my computer to recognize it? And I have the keis but it hasn't helped either. It just tells me to connect.i don't think it is the drivers when my other vibrant connects just fine without problems
If you were in MIUI, you are a going to need the Nexus S drivers for Odin to recognize your phone. You can get them here:
atinm said:
Q: Where can I get the Nexus S drivers?
A: Download and install the Android SDK here then download "Google USB Driver package, revision 4"
Once downloaded, right click on "Computer", "Manage", "Device Manager", "Nexus S", "Update Driver Software", and point it to wherever you isntalled the SDK.

I managed to enter the download mode using a usb jig. But Odin would not detect the phone at all, PC recognize the phone as "unknown device".
I tried all the drivers, different ports, different pc... no go. Phone stuck at download mode.
I don't have a system right now, can't boot into any OS (formatted system to get out of MIUI using CWM previously). So is it possible to have a "corrupted" download mode? The screen says download, but internally something else is happening?
Unknown device means bad drivers.

Yeah it's bad drivers. You can try these here... http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml
It isn't an issue with your phone as I've been able to use Odin to get out of countless bricks.
Sent from my SGH-T959 (Samsung Vibrant)
did you try uninstall and reinstalling ODIN. Sometimes ODIN is retarded like that. However, it does sound like you are having a bad drivers issue.....like the guys above me stated.
I tried the softpedia driver v1.345...
I tried the newest July 2011 1.4.2.2 driver
Nothing works
Is there a repair center that accept samsung vibrant in Canada?
tried odin 1.3, 1.7, 1.85, none works
maybe the internal ram or rom is broken?
Try this.
1. Disconnect phone from computer. (No need to turn it off, just unplug it.)
2. Install these drivers: http://www.mediafire.com/?1c3ca4117bm43n6
3. Connect phone.
4. Should recognize it now.

Doesn't work...
Tried heimdall as well, can't recognize the phone... no vendor id or product id
Going to try a few repair shops tomorrow
Tried Odin on the same computer with same driver that worked before... but now it doesn't ... so it must be the phone
When power on the phone, it would stuck at he vibrant logo. Can't get into recovery. Only way to get it to somewhere is using a usb jig to get it to download mode. After that, nothing works so far. Sometimes the computer freezes when plug in with download mode.
same problem, phone wont recognize device, tried just about every driver, was coming off miui, pc sometimes freezes then usb device malfunction bubble message, phones running but went from 85% battery to 27 in a coupla hours of setting. If i download a 2.2 rom through rom manager, and flash manually, will it brick? cant reflash clockworkmod for vibrant, rom manager doesnt offer it, only vibrant mtd.

at least you can still boot...make phone calls and stuff
cherish what you have...
This is just getting worse...
USB jig can't start download mode anymore, instead it goes to the vibrant logo and stays there.
I have officially bricked the phone.
RIP...
Nope, we have the same problem, your still booting, what rom were you running,

I was running MIUI LE 5
Its driver/ phone recognition, the answer is on an xda thread somewhere, i was on miui nb, samsung drivers dont work anymore, ive heard nexus one drivers might do it ill post if it works.
Correct
If you are on Miui or CM7 the Samsung drivers are useless. You need to install the Nexus Google drivers.
Download the android sdk kit (Google it). Thru the kit install the drivers. Once installed plug in phone and thru the windows device manager change the drivers to the Google Nexus ones (somewhere in program files android sdk).

The thing is I used to be able to get into download mode with the jig, now i can't... Maybe I drained the battery?

That could be. Try leaving the phone on the charger for a while then try using the JIG again. It should start going into download mode again.

If i leave it on the charger, it automatically goes to the vibrant logo screen.
And after a while, the cpu would be hot, but not the battery...
Oh i just had that problem yesterday. Get the Nexus S drivers. For some reason whenever coming off MIUI you need the Nexus drivers on ur pc, NOT THE VIBRANT ONES.

There^ thats the video tutorial i used and it worked for me. Good luck.
Btw, have you tried getting into download mode my removing you battery, plugging the usb into your PC and the phone. Press both volume buttons while it is plugged into PC and then place battery all while holding the volume buttons. It should go into download mode.
my phone will not be recognized by the computer no matter what i do. It recognizes my friends i777 just fine in odin and as a storage device so it isnt my drivers. With mine it only makes the connection sound and says device drivers failed to install. I am running shostock 3, philz kernel and windows 7. I have tried everything and i am out of ideas, please help. thanks
Install Kies fresh, install android sdk and update it, reboot, try different usb ports.
Also u have to disable usb debugging and let it install those drivers, enable it and let it install those drivers and boot into download mode and do a regular reboot and let it install those. Always worked for me after following those steps.
If he's friends phones works. Then I think it's the phone usb. My own phone has the same issues but my usb on phone is messed up. Says charging while its not chargin and that happens I get the whole Device not recognize and fail to install. Try cleaning your usb with 99% Isopropyl of the instructions above this post don't work out.

I tried the suggestions.....
I downloaded the samsung drivers correctly because my pc recognizes any other samsung but no matter what i've tried it says usb device not recognized for my galaxy. Im stuck in a boot loop and the only thing i can access is download mode when i plug it in the computer. I can't access anything with the battery in, it just flashes the galaxy logo over and over. Thank you for you time in advance
Hi All,
I am having an issue with my S4 that when I plug them into my computer I get USB device not recognized. I have searched the forum for the past 2 days trying all kinds of different solutions the major one was changing my USB/charging port board on my phone.
I need to ODIN my device to an MJ7 image. At first I got the error and did a factory reset through safestrap recover. Still got the error so I did an advance wipe of every option. (Looking back shouldnt have done that) That took away my recovery, but I can get to download mode, but its not detected by my computer to use ODIN with. So I am stuck without a custom recovery without the ability to boot into anything.
Here is what I have tried so far:
1. Reinstall/uninstall drivers, reinstall/uninstall kies.
2. Changed USB ports on computer.
3. Changed USB cables
4. Changed computers from Win 8 x64 to Win 7 x64.
5. Changed computer to my MACbook using Heimdall.
6. Changed USB charging port board on my phone.
7. Tried everything again. *Still doesnt detect it*
Any ideas that I havent done already, or how to fix? I do have nandroid backup of my ROM, but dont have a custom recovery to flash it.
Cant ODIN back cause its not detected by my computer. Thanks in advance for your help.
Is USB debugging still checked on phone? You must use the USB cable provided with phone...

Thanks for the reply. I cant select USB debug on my phone because my phone does not boot into the main OS, it is stuck at the samsung custom padlock screen. The USB debug option was on when the OS was installed though. My phone will only boot into stock recovery and into download mode. I tried to use the original USB cable provided with the phone as I read this could be the problem, but I tried 4 other ones too and phone still gets detected as "Unknown Device" in device manager, so ODIN cant even see phone in download mode to restore. I have tried to install KIES and the Samsung Mobile phone drivers 1.5.x.x drivers. Just read somewhere where someone had this issue and installed Samsung mobile phone driver v1-4-6-0 so I am trying that now.

Tried Samsung Mobile phone drivers version 1.4.6.0 and still the same outcome "USB device not recognized". I went down to a local electronics store and bought two different brand microUSB data cables. Tried them both along with my original one from samsung, and still the same result. Any other ideas??
Anyone else have any ideas? Thinking of sending it in and having it JTAG'ed back to stock. Can anyone recommend any services? Heard mobiletechvideos is good.
