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. I'm 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
Did u by any chance find this phone or have you owned it from day one?
He meant "find" in the double quote

Uh hi.
I'm a herp.
So I may have accidently tried to root and flash my friend's Samsung Vibrant. It was going smoohtly but now, I'm all sorts of messed up.
The problem: I may have used the wrong kernel (zImage) when using heimdall-frontend (which I downloaded from xda). This is causing the phone to power on; it shows the Samsung Galaxy S 4g load screen, then Overstock, then the T-Mo logo sign (with the music), and then a longer Galaxy S load screen. After the load screen, the screen goes completely black, but all the touch buttons light up. Once like this, I can turn it off, and make it go back into recovery mode and also download mode.
Please help. I've been trying to solve this with my friend for about.. 4 hours.
P.S. I've looked up all the guides for using ODIN to get back to JFS, none works due to the reason that when I put it back into download mode, the computer does not recognize it. But it does at the same time. (it shows the "safetly remove hardware" and says that is an "USB mass storage device" ((but does not appear in "My Computer" when in the unresponsive screen-- but when in the download screen, it shows the same thing, only labeled "SAMSUNG USB Composite Device", which also cannot be accessed through "My Computer")
P.P.S. I'm sure it is a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant, exclusive from T-Mobile. My computer is Windows Vista 32-bit, and I have as many Samsung drivers as humanly possible when it comes to the Vibrant.
Can anyone help a poor fool?
Try this, get in to download mode, open Odin, then disconnect the usb cable, then reconnect the usb cable and Odin should recognize it then. Good luck!
Using XDA premium, you should be too!

Sorry. That did not work. It just doesn't recognize it in ODIN when in download mode. My computer doesn't even see it. But it does say "Safely Remove Hardware" -- "SAMSUNG USB Composite Device"
Sounds really odd. Do you have any roms you can try reflashing from recovery?

Sounds like you used the wrong odin files. if your screen is showing a galaxy s 4g logo then you must have mistakenly flashed a galaxy s 4g odin/heimdall package. on the back of your phone what is the model number. What on earth is JFS? ive heard of JFD which is the stock firmware that the phone shipped with.
If you flashed the wrong bootloader you are more or less stuck between a rock and a hardplace and will require a jtag. now the fact that teh screen does turn on is a good thing.
You need to keep trying to get it into download mode maybe try using a jig. Once youve gotten it into download mode try every single usb port you can find on your pc. When i need to odin i need to use one of my usb ports on the rear io panel none of the others will work. Once you get odin running and recognizing your device use the files posted in my sig as the odin files. any others and i cant help you cuz i dont know what your source is. Odin should be able to recover your device if it is still booting to the splash screen.
If for whatever reason you cant boot into download mode but can get into recovery here is what you do: make sure you have the android SDK installed (dont know what that is go here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and follow their directions) then open up command prompt while in recovery type the following command: adb reboot bootloader this should put you into download mode. If nothing ive mentioned works you may require a JTAG there is a company called MOBILETECHVIDEOS (http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/) that has a JTAG service.
Good luck
-Cheers
Firstly I apologise if this has been covered anywhere - I read a load of posts and did a load of searches but came up empty handed about this specific issue.
I bought a Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830 Baseband:S5830NEKA3 OS:2.2.1) as a dev device and it's been working fine up until today, and at some point it decided it doesn't want to be able to connect to my computers. I've tried three different computers, two different operating systems, and ever tried installing Kies (urk) with no luck.
The phone can charge over USB, saying that it's charging over AC, but that's all that happens.
I can't boot in to recovery mode as holding the power+middle button+vol up just gives me a ramdump message.
Can anyone help me out?

When phone is turned off. Press and hold home+power/lock button untill it reaches recovery menu.
Check - that works. Thanks.
I'm now unsure as to how to proceed - neither adb devices nor fastboot devices are reporting anything back.
Connect device to pc. Open device manager (windows). Remove all drivers related to the ace and Samsung.
Remove the device and reboot the pc. Then connect the device. Windows update will detect the device and install the necessary drivers. If it doesn't automatically do that then open up device manager and install them manually by right clicking on the device and selecting update drivers from internet.
From the Galaxies to your Ace...!!
Thanks for your reply.
In windows there's no sign of any Samsung or Galaxy Ace drivers. Plugging it in to my Kubuntu machine gives me identical lsusb results as when not plugged in.
Have done a data wipe, checked that USB debugging is on and tried different cables
think it's screwed.
Think I could stick a ROM on the SD card and flash it? Would that work?

hmm.. kies didnt work right? So i guess only option IMO would be card reader or CWM
Yep , the phone's USB port is frayed
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
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.

So if I just turn my phone on, it will be a white screen with no logo or anything.
Luckily I can go to download mode, however the PC doesnt recognize my phone at all (It says USB device not recognized. The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it.), I tried many drivers before., still doesnt work. I know my phone is in serious trouble, can anybody help me? I am thinking this is maybe a symptom of sudden death or caused by emmc, but I am not so sure now since the download mode is still accessible.
THANKS A TON GUYS.

If it still isn't being recognized, forget the windows drivers. Boot into Linux and use Heimdall. I've rescued many Samsung devices this way.
You may need android-udev too.
Hi, guys!
I'm trying to save my GT-N8000 for a while and nothing! I have USB Debugging disabled, my Recovery get stuck on TeamWin screen, and I'm able to use Download Mode, but my device is not recognized by ADB neither Fastboot.
I've tried a lot of solution the last months, but nothing worked until now. My last shot was to fill Odin3 3.10 with firmware files for PIT, BL, AP, CP and CSC. It finished the process successfully, but it didn't changed anything at all, my GT-N8000 still stuck on boot and I can't get into Recovery and the device is not recognized by ADB neiter Fastboot.
I have all drivers installed on Windows and it recognize my device each time I connect and shows that all drivers are successfully installed.
Any ideas, guys? I'm really exhausted and frustrated! Thank you all in advance!
GT-N8000 Not started, Not detected by PC... even Battery is removed.
I have a worst problem, it began after i upgraded to kitkat, but works for few months, and USB is not debugging enabled, by mistake...
until i forgets it on the power fro four hours, then i discovered that it is rebooted and rebooted and rebooted and stuck on the samsung icon, i took it for samsung to fix it they told it is motherboard, and has a price more than the device itself, so i took it from them, and tried to start it, it is failed to start after... i removed the cover and removed the battery for a minute, useless, i couldn't turn it again, i did all the things on the internet, useless.
The PC is not detecting the device.
The device is not starting on.
the battery is removed many times, and plugged again.
Even i tried to charge the battery using its poles by a direct charger on it, while it is un-plugged from the motherboard.
The device can't be start or give any power on the screen...
Kindly help... Thanks in advance.
