I have looked everywhere for answers but cant find any on how to get my phone to connect, well be recognized by my computers. I know exactly how to use Odin to get my phone out of its bricked stage through the download menu. But the thing is, it hasnt been recognized by my computers for awhile, even when i was using ICS on it, and i tried a lot of things but recently i havent been able to get it connected. I have no idea what to do, i need help on this urgently. Just to restate, my phone is not being recognized by my computer when plugged in through a working USB cord, please help
Go to Dev section and download the AIO toolbox (links are live again). It has Odin 1.8, the correct pit/tar files and drivers. Don't forget to download the .net files too in the OP.
Might have to go into device manager and delete the drivers you might still have in there that are bunked out.

I might have missed the perfect advice in searching here and there, but I couldn't find it, so I'm asking here.
I tried applying a nightly build for Cyanogen for Vibrant and now the phone is basically bricked.
It starts up, shows the Vibrant logo, brightens a bit, then shows a screen that in a second or two fills with random color noise, then restarts. This cycle repeats until I pop out the battery.
My model apparently won't respond to vol/power keypress combos to activate recovery or download mode so that was out.
I bought a microUSB jig and was able to get in download mode but ODIN doesn't ever recognize it.
I tried the adbtool to send it into recovery but it doesn't see the phone either.
I tried the AIO Vibrant Toolbox to reinstall drivers/odin/etc and it didn't help.
Finally just watching device manager seems to indicate that plugging it in and out doesn't absolutely nothing. Windows XP never sees a connection. I tried on a Windows 7 machine with similar results.
Any suggestions? Out of warranty so that means no replacement.
Thanks.

Since you flashed cm7 you will need to install the Nexus S drivers. The regular Vibrant drivers will not work so that is likely why ODIN wont recognize the device. If you can get into download mode you shouldn't be hard bricked. Here is a link to download the Nexus S drivers (I believe this is the one I used)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8116690/Nexus S drivers.zip you might have to manually install this.

This. If you are able to enter into Download Mode, you aren't bricked (unless you have a really really really bad luck).
This was extracted from the CM7 Q&A Thread on the Q&A section:

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

Also, if the above fails, the member connexion2005 offers unbrick services, and he seems to be good at it, he have a website and everything, just shot me a PM if you need the link to the website.

Djluis, Good write up and assist...........
Thanks - I did try the above but when my phone is connected via USB the computer doesn't react at all. It's like I haven't plugged anything in. My other phone, a Nexus One, is recognized though.
Any ideas on how to force the install of these drivers before I have to pay connexion2005 for his services?
Thanks.

Uninstall Samsung drivers, reboot PC, install drivers from aio box found in sticky thread or from samsung website. It should work. Also try heimdall if odin still doesn't work.
Sent from samsung vibrant
Tried the uninstall - no luck.
One issue... I'm not sure that USB Debugging Mode was selected before this all started. Could that be my problem?

Hi,
try a different usb port and different usb cable
No luck. I suspect that this unit has a slightly bad USB port as well. Fortunately unbricking is affordable so that's what I'll have to do.
Thanks everyone for your advice.

go to best buy, get a blackberry or HTC usb cord. most if the "bad" usb ports are the sh*T%y korean cords ( not knocking the people, just the company )
Thanks - I actually tried several USB cables - including some HTC and a Motorola one. None worked w/the phone - but worked fine with any other phone.

Two things.

I say, uninstall Kies, reboot, reinstall Kies.

Sorry for posting here as I'm a new comer!
I try to root/recovery my Verizon note2 I605 by following the instruction in post -- "[Jailbreak][Root][Recovery] CASUAL One-Click -- update 17MAR13:Windows/Linux" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118348).
After that, I can enter recovery menu and install customize rom. However, the Phone just supports two USB options: MTP and PTP and my PC (the same for another PC) does not recognize the phone anymore even I reinstall phone driver from Sumsung. Neither does CASUAL program recognize the phone.
Can anyone give me a hint about how to deal with this situation? Many Thanks in advance!

Dont use win8, as far as I have heard its not supported.
This has happened to me both times I rooted my Verizon Note 2, what a pain in the ass. What I did to get it to work was to uninstall the samsung drivers then reinstall. This worked the first time but now it is not working on my replacement phone. This has happened before on my girlfriends s3, it pretty much wont recognize any samsung phones. I'm out of ideas, I think the USB installer that casual comes with is screwing up the drivers. I'm on Win7 btw

USB debugging on? Also I would uninstall the drivers and then reinstall manually..
Trying to return my Note 2 to stock via odin and my computer installs "Gadget serial" as the driver and odin does not pick up my device, Tried looking around the forum and on google and everywhere says that this is fine however odin still doesn't pick anything up, never used casual bought the device off of swappa.

Have you uninstalled the driver that installs when you plu the phone in and replacing it with the drivers for our phones that are available in droidstyles thread?
Also you need to try different USB cords, some will not work with out devices for some reason. Also try different ports on the computer, note that they have to be 2.0 ports and not 3.0 ports.
