Hi guys,
I'll try to keep it brief, so here goes:
The other day I bought a used Dell Streak 5 (I think it's opperator free), black. I knew it had a boot loop, but hoped it would be a quick fix, but I guess not. I can get it in recovery and fastboot mode.
So I have a boot looped Dell streak 5, and tryed different approaches (QDL, fastboot). I downloaded the "350" files and tryed to connect it with the computer (i think it's steps 7 and 8) but that didn't work, even though I installed the (right) tools! The computer doesn't seem to notice the phone attached to the computer. I tryed the original USB cable as well as the cradle (with a micro usb input and spare battery charger).
Also the phone doesn't seem to charge (I do have a spare battery charger, so that's my way around that problem, eventhough it's not what I'd like to use).
So basicly, I'm stuck from here. I read many topics concerning these problems, but obviously I haven't found the solution.
If you need more information to help me, I will post it A.S.A.P.!
Please help me!
Kind regards,
Spitsebeest
When you first open qdl tool. . . . Does it reconize the phone and shows port,with qualcomm port? If not. . . I know you had to go thru some steps to point the port to the right driver in device manager. . . . Let me know if that's the problem. . . . Ill post more specific instructions . . . . Also make sure you adb,drivers,fastboot and qdl tool are in same folder

First of all, thank you so much for replying!
As far as I know, the pc has never recognized my dell (since I'm not the first user, I might not say "never").
Also the phone doesn't charge with either the docking station (via mini usb) or through the original usb cable (with the computer or wallsocket).
Any idea what it might be?
Kind regards,
Spitsebeest!
[Edit:] I can't download the files, since the links in your hyperlinks seem to be dead [/Edit]
Ill try to find other links. . . . If your phone is not even charging,I wonder if the connector is bad,you can replace them for cheap

Okay to make things worse: It won't even start now. I didn't try anything strange. I can't even get it in engineering mode or fastboot. Tryed it with battery and without, with different (original) batteries, connected to the wall... It still doesn't charge or start. The lights won't even turn on.
Can someone help me? That would be awesome!
Thanks in advance
Kind regards.

Please forgive me if I've missed a post somewhere, I've been searching for weeks for an answer to my problem and I still don't see one (similar cases, but either a-no answer or b-solution for another problem).
Computers:
A Windows 7 (32-bit) system and a Windows XP (32-bit) system.
Phone:
Samsung Vibrant SGH-T959
Firmware Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: T959UVJL5
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: Nero.v3
Description of Problem:
When I plug my phone into either or my two computers the following occurs - My phone recognizes that it is plugged in and begins charging; my computers do nothing.
When I was on Android 2.1 I could plug my phone into either of my two systems and my PCs would respond appropriately (ie. show the drive letters and let me access the device once I mounted the device).
Since the very first Android 2.2 install my computers act like nothing is happening. ADB doesn't see my phone, Odin is silent, and Windows doesn't show any drive letters nor does it even show that I am plugging in a USB device.
I have tried to correct this by changing the USB settings on the phone (Kies, Media Player, Mass storage, Ask on connection) and even trying to connect while in debug mode. Sadly, I never made a nandroid backup to take me back to the Android 2.1 install (idiot me took the plunge before reading up on that section).
I don't understand what would cause my phone to be treated as if it wasn't there. I've tried different USB ports, different MicroUSB cables, and even uninstalling/reinstalling the various device drivers for the phone.
I can get into download mode just fine, but what's the point if Odin can't see the phone since Windows thinks that nothing is there? Before you ask, yes, I tried going into download mode before starting Odin as well as after starting Odin; debug mode on and debug mode off. I've been trying all the combinations.
If anybody has any information beyond what is in the stickies, I would greatly appreciate it!
Do you see "USB connected" in notification bar on the phone? You can also turn on USB debugging mode in USB settings. If you see "USB connect" in pull down notification bar..tap on that and it will mount on your computer.
I experienced similar problem with.axura tool...phone well charge but doesn't pop out the mount notification. I power off both my phone and computer and it work again. I'm sure this won't on your scenario but just wanna inform you that it's not all hopeless...good luck
Yes. I have seen the mount USB bar. Bad news: even after it says mounted, the PCs react as if nothing has happened.

First of all, read this forum (last post is mine) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925393 - make sure you have kies or kies mini installed so that you have the correct drivers on your computer for your vibrant.
secondly, team whiskey has developed a fix for the mount issue your experiencing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846384&highlight=mount+fix
they also have the mount problem fixed in the later nero roms... should not be an issue. please let me know if this helps!

Okay, so I've tried all of the above to no effect except for the latest Nero rom...
Looks like I'll be trying the latest Nero (thank goodness for Dropbox).
Nope. Updating to the latest Nero [v5] didn't work.

I think I'm going to have to throw it under a bus...
This same thing happened to me and to fix this problem all I did was install the drivers I got online, PM me your email and ill send you the drivers
I am almost certain that it is drivers issue more than your phone or any rom. You need to completely uninstall current drivers..all traces of em, reboot and install drivers from samsung website or there are some here in vibrant section also. It happened to me couple of times where one set of drivers stopped working for no reason and i had to try couple of different ones.
I had the same problem. Phone would charge but not connect. I solved it by getting a new usb cable. I just use the bad one for charging now
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
This is a driver problem. Your computer does not have the phone drivers and is confused on what to make of your phone so it finally decides that it is a charging device more or less and will not mount it, EVEN if you select mount from your phone options.
Please look on this forum or ask the guy who posted before for the Samsung USB drivers. Install them on your computer and then mounting the phone from the notification bar will work.
Hope that helps and feel free to ask again if you are stuck on the process.
I thought it was a driver issue as well until last week.
My coworker has the same model phone and is currently running 2.2.
He has his laptop (Windows XP) setup to handle his phone.
When he plugs his equipment in, everything works. When he plugs my phone in, same old story...
Even when trying different MicroUSB cables.
This is why I'm considering loading up a different/modified kernel.

Hi I have a T-Mobile Vibrant and everything was working excellent till today... I took some pictures on the beach and when my girlfriend asked me for the pictures, I plugged the phone to the PC but it didn't recognized the phone. I had installed the samsung vibrant drivers but it is not working! I cant even use the AIO Vibrant Toolbox to put it in download mode for flashing to stock! Im desperate! Please Help! Hope is not a dead usb port!
Things I tried:
Factory Reset
Change the USB Port
Format Internal Memory
Try these drivers;

Hi I tried using those drivers but they didn't work... I formatted my pc tio see if it was a problem with pc but everything is the same... Vibrant knows it is connected it sounds when connected... Pc just says unrecognized device... Dont know what to do... What else can I do...?
try to go to computer->control pannel->remove new device (vibrant) , reainstall drivers (without phone connected) , connect your phone let windows find Your phone )
if that didnt help 1.before windows boots press F8 which will boot you in tree which will give you few options , 2 click on option which says DISABLE SIGNATURE VERIFICATION 3. REINSTALL DRIVERS 4. CONNECT YOUR PHONE .
anther option is go to phone go to 1.SETTINGS 2.APPLICATIONS 3.DEVELOPMENT 4.CHECK USB DEBUGGING
One more 1. Settings 2. Applications 3. Usb 4. Enable mass storage instead of kies or music player .
tried everything
I reinstalled the drivers that way.... change the settings on the phone and i get the same USB Device not Recognized

Did you ever get this working? I'm having the same issues. I've tried 3 different computers and 2 different operating systems, all that I used last week without any problems. My phone is definitely not in Debug and it's definitely on Mass Storage. What gives?

Rayn1328: that's what I do right now... move stuff to sd card and then to the internal sd card....

I did look around a bit more, and found out about a thing called "USB unbrick." Looks interesting, but I can't do it from work, since I don't have ADB/Kies/etc here. I'll try it out when I get home this evening.
Here's a Link.
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

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?
Kermit Woodall
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.

People!, I'm about to pull all my hair out on this one
Vibrant is soft bricked in a boot loop after a incomplete flash, I am able to get it into download mode but both my windows machines say USB device isnot recognized, and thus, I cant use ODIN to return to stock. When I try to manually point windows to the samsung drivers I get nothing…
So far I have tried drivers from:
-Bay_wolf's AIO Vibrant Toolbox 2.5
-USB drivers for vibrant from samsung support site
-Drivers from samsung keyes
Side notes that might help: I was perviously using a Hellybean Rom. My device displays "Galaxy S gt-9000" on boot... not sure when that came to be but maybe some rom changed some important recognition stuff??...
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008383 but no help...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Try a different USB cable. This happens more than you'd think. Even cables that have worked just fine hundreds of times.
Also.... Locate the drivers in system/device manager and delete them manually and try to install them again. Unplug device and install fresh ones from either aio toolbox or Kies, then plug phone back in.
Best of luck!

Thanks a ton for reply but, sadly, no dice.
Tried connecting the phone, getting the "unrecognized device" prompt, finding "unknown device" in device manager, right clicking to uninstall. rebooting my machine, using various install methods to re-install drivers, re-connecting, and nothing.. same issue...
I lost the original cable a while back, but can't accept that NONE of the other 5 cables used are all broke... specially if the computer recognizes something going on... is it worth buying a new one?
Losing hope here, been like this for 4 days now, think it's time to go get a new phone. :crying:
Even so, it would have been nice to get what was a perfectly working phone back if only to keep it as a mp3 payer.
If anybody in New York, NY has a working odin set up that can do this for me, I have a 6 pack of your favorite beer with your name on it.
It could be a hardbrick such as bootloader getting corrupted that happened to my Sony Xperia Play (now an expensive paper weight).
I assume you boot into download mode by holding the two volume buttons, then connect the cable? Have you tried on a different PC? It can also be the weak powered USB port on the PC. Also when you uninstall the Samsung driver, check the option to also delete USB driver and uninstall any drivers. Also which version of the driver are you using, have you tried version Samsung USB Driver 1.5.3? And the drivers from here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-T959ZKATMB#
For what its worth, the gt i9000 screen appears after your on a custom GB boot loader and Odin back to stock (or probably Odin flashing any other ROM) you can change it by flashing the GB boot loader again. My phone says its a i9000 too, but I'm just about lazy enough to not bother changing it, lol.
So that's unrelated.

Ok, faith momentarily restored. But I have questions:
-What do you mean when you say "check the option to also delete USB driver and uninstall any drivers"? I dont get such a prompt from right clicking on "unknown device" and selecting uninstall? Is there another method to uninstalling drivers?
-In the link attached, I can only find "Device(Install),USB Driver (Software) (ver.1.0)" not the 1.5.3 version mentioned. What am i doing wrong here? currently searching google for the 1.5.3 but finding nothing.
I get into download mode by holding volume- up + power. Have 2 PCs ( win xp and win 7) and a mac running mountain lion (but never ever have been able to get Heimdall to work, so devoting time to odin.)
Thank you for the time + help, guys, I really do appreciate it in the time of utter un-nerdness.
If the device is already installed it will have a check box that said "Delete the driver software for this device." If its unknown then obviously not. By "uninstall any driver", I mean uninstall any Android drivers you current have installed and reboot before you reinstall the new driver.
Although I doubt it will make a difference than the one I linked above, you can try the Samsung driver version 1.5.3: http://www.mediafire.com/?r0uc3h413qcy80z
If you did manage to get into download mode and see this: http://images.google.com/search?num=10&hl=en&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&q=download+mode
Then it mean there is a very good chance you can restore the phone, if you can find a computer to recognize it and Odin to see a COM port.
I definitely think it would be worth the money to go buy an OEM USB cord. I can't tell you how many times I have seen this and a new USB is the fix.

OK guys...
My friend, who also owns a Vibrant, let me borrow the cable that came with the phone for the last 2 days.
Tried to make ODIN work on both PCs at home, gave Heimdall a shot on my mac, even hijacked a computer at work for the better part of the morning and freshly installed USB drivers 1.5.3 before connecting. All for nothing... “Unknown device” across the board....
At first I felt that with being able to get into download and have SOME kind of a reaction from connecting to PC had to be a good sign. Almost completely convinced that there is some unknown, unworkable hardware problem present. Definitely, officially, unremarkably out of ideas here.
Nothing is beautiful and everything hurts.
Last thoughts? Options at this point?
Also, tried One-click Unbrick tool on mac. I got a "is your phone plugged in, is it on download mode?" error, but anyone reading this down the line with a similar problem should check it out.

There's either an issue with the cord, the PC's USB ports, or most likely, is that the driver is not loading correctly or is the incorrect one. Open your Device Manager on the PC while you plug it in and see what it displays. If it comes up with a yellow warning sign next to it, you just have to load the drivers manually. I've never really messed around with a lot of MediaTek based devices, but think there are 2 separate drivers - one specifically for that mode.
You might be able to find some helpful hints on how to load these drivers from the first few posts on this thread:
