You need odin to flash to stock.
I am certainly no expert, but I believe this is the only way. Sorry bro.

I'm gonna state this flat and outright.
Go get your cheap @$$ to radioshack and buy a usb cable! It only costs like 5 bucks man.
You *NEED*, i'm gonna repeat *NEED* to have a USB cable to ODIN back to stock. If you send your phone in the way it is, you are screwed.
Short of that, take a hammer to it, but I don't see how you would get it covered under any kind of warranty if you did that.

That's how my vibrant was also. Just get a new USB cord. It works trust me.

Sending back bricked vibrant

hi so i had a replacement vibrant with the hardware keys disabled. but somehow i bricked it and i cant get back in to download mode. now its stuck on the computer icon and the phone icon. i had vibrant hybrid rom installed in there. and rooted. i called tmobile and said i was trying to copy something from my computer to the phone and it just rebooted and that screen came up. they are sending me another one. i mean the only way to get back in is to reflash it with odin right. thats what they will have to do. and if they do that i should be good because it wont be rooted anymore. what do yall think?
I dont think its bricked, try other methods. But hey a replacement is always better

Be careful. If they find out that you were messing with the phone's ROM, they might charge you a restocking fee of $400. Because technically you voided your warranty by rooting it. Trust me I know I work for T-mobile.

I think it may be easier just to borrow or use another computer to fix your phone. I know someone who repairs computers for cheap but thats all the way where I live
How would that change anything using another pc my usb port on my vibrant is broken so i cant odin back to flash

[Q] A captivate problem!

Phone : Samsung Captivate
Carrier : AT&T (Gophone)
Okay guys so my first problem was i was bootlooping the att screen and couldnt get into download mode or recovery mode so i went to radio shack and got 3 100k ohm resistors 1/4 and then used it and got it into recovery mode i used odin one click and it said file analysis for like 30 mins so i turned off the phone and restarted odin but now for some reason i cant get it into download mode again, so i tried turning it on thinking it might be fixed well it immdeiatly went to the phone-----!----computer icon and the usb dosent make any sound on my computer when being plugged in :/ i check to see if maybe the usb was bad by plugging it into my wall charger charged fine, tried a new usb cable and new usb ports still nothing and what i mean is when u plug a usb into a windows 7 computer it makes the notification noise it dosent make that or even show up on device manager im hoping the jig didnt short anything out :/
On the galaxy s 4g you can use Odin once on that screen
This is what's happening right
Oh btw u should put this in captivate q&a section
For better results

Its that screen but the problem im getting is the usb isnt even notifying my computer that its plugged in once i plug it into my computer nothing happens i can make a video and can someone move this i dont wanna make double post?
What I would do is go to a att store and say I have been ignoring a software update for a while
But I decided to bite the bullet and update recently
While updating I dropped my phone and the battery came out
When I turned on my phone this screen showed up

Hard Brick (I Think)

Ok,
I took my phone back to complete stock last night using odin, this morning I wanted to update the phone so my kiddo could get the new market, after downloading kies and running the update the phone will not turn on at all. it does not show when I connect a charger and I cant get it to go into download mode. Any suggestions or is this phone now done?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737
I Tried this and it didn't work. I really believe my phone is completely dead!
So there is no sign of life at all? No leds or any backlight behind the screen? If not, then you are hardbricked. Kies is notorious for hardbricking phones.
You can call your carrier or Samsung and tell them your phone was bricked using THEIR software and see where that goes.
Sorry for your loss.
Nothing at all idk what they will say since I've had the phone since brand new

I had the exact problem you did. Tmobile sent me a replacement, and now I have a phone with no scratches or dings! :victory:
Well I've had mine since the day it came out, it it's out of warranty so t-mobile won't cover it, Samsung was not going to cover it at first but after it was said and done they decided to cover it since it was there software that bricked my phone

This happened to me awhile back! I called T-Mobile, but as I was out of warranty, no phone could be sent! Wish I would've seen this thread before I tossed it...

Is there a recovery already on your device? If there is and you have an sdcard try moving the root files to that card with a friends phone or something. If there isn't then you might be out of luck. Keep searching I'm sure there's something you can do.

I was hoping you had a custom recovery from before the usb got messed up. I'm out of ideas just keep looking and if I come across anything I'll let you know.
