I am not able to get ODIN or Kies to recognize the device. I am able to use adb to reboot into recovery or clockwork. I have tried going into Download Mode while ODIN was started and also I have tried before I started ODIN .... same result. Please Help ... I thank you in advance
Have you installed the drivers on your computer?
the drivers have been installed.
although it doesn't install the driver for the Samsung Android USB Modem
but they must work because i am able to use adb
anybody got any advice for me?
I've searched the forums and tried everything they say to try to no avail.
Any sense of direction would be appreciated
I've been lurking these forums for awhile now, and have been able to figure things out by researching. But I'm having a little trouble with this. Earlier today I was flashing Nero V3, and had a bad flash(after it finished formatting data). Instead of reflashing another rom while in CWR, I rebooted the phone. This brought me to where I am now, stuck at the Vibrant screen. I can get into DL mode, and get Odin up and running. But Odin wont recognize my phone, and I dont know what to do to get it to work.
I've tried 2 versions of Odin with the same results, and at this point I'm stumped. What can I do to get Odin to recognize my phone?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Do you have the PC drivers for your phone installed?
If not try installing the drivers from here:
32 Bit Windows Download | 64 Bit Windows Download
Also, if you have Kies running by chance, it might help to close Kies and not run it while also trying to run Odin.
After making sure your drivers are installed correctly try multiple USB ports. Sometimes the ports are troublesome.
Can your Vibrant be recognized by your computer outside of Odin? If so what version of Odin are you working with?
guess that was the problem. I had them downloaded, just not installed. Thank you.
Hi I installed the drivers and pc still doesnt recognized my phone in download mode. Is there a way to get back to stock without using Odin?
Dude try this method of getting intro download mode.
1.remove the battery from your phone
2.plug the phone in USB to your computer
3.reinstall the battery in your phone while holding the phones power & volume buttons.
That should skip the vibrant screen and power strait to download mode..hope this helps

I had a bad flash and am in a boot loop. I can get into download mode but all 3 of my computers give me "USB device has malfunctioned" error. I have tried several cords and reinstalled Samsung USB drivers several times. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Does Odin recognize your phone? If so, just flash it to another rom, then uninstall and reinstall your drivers; but next time, uninstall ALL your Samsung drivers, reboot your pc, then reinstall them.
No, Odin doesn't see the phone at all. Otherwise, I'd be made in the shade....
Ok, well does the phone see Odin then?
If you were coming from cm, you may need the nexus 1 drivers.
I had the same issue in the past with two of my win 7 machines. Macbook with boot camp xp was my key to success
Beware of angry gingerbread man
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:

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 don't have any USB device connected other than the mouse on PC. i have even tried on my laptop with no mouse.
I have downloaded pit file and uvjfd.tar two times from the forums.
I have tried flashing multiple times from both my PC & laptop using Odin 3.0 v1.0, v1.85, v3.07(latest), EZOdin v1.70 and installed Samsung USB drivers multiple times, even downloaded latest driver version from official Samsung Vibrant page.
I have tried flashing from all possible USB ports on my PC & laptop wherever the phone was being recognized. But now with the latest official Samsung Vibrant drivers, my phone is not being detected by any USB port on my PC.
But whenever I have flashed, Odin is stuck at Cache or Modem or recently(with latest samsung drivers), DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET !!
I have even tried flashing through Heimdall 1.3.1 but the zadig.exe shows the device only as 'Gadget Serial' no matter how many times I try, and installs the driver with device as Gadget Serial under libusb in Device Manager and I also tried by updating driver as Samsung Composite USB as mentioned in readme. Either Way Heimdall frontend will not flash and says "Failed to detect compatible download-mode device".
Edit: I tried with another USB cable, of LG GS500v, and Oh Lord Jesus, Odin flashed past it. Great, time to buy a new Samsung USB cable, now!

Dont worry....this time go to download mode and flash eugenes that does not brick aka Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo with the same pit file and ur good to go brother
Similar Problem but different results.
Hi!
Whomever can help me, please help me. Right now, I am on stock Froyo 2.2 after the factory reset so this is how I got it but it is rooted only. I am trying to overwrite CWM because I cannot get into its recovery no matter how many times I flash it. Odin just will not recognize my phone when I am in download mode. When my phone is on, it will allow the mass storage and that works but when in download mode, my PC says unrecognized devide. I have a feeling that is the problem and I have updated the drivers several times, especially from Samsung but to no avail. Does someone have a solution to this problem? I want to go to Avatar ROM with my phone which is Jelly Bean and have seen its possible but I feel CWM is holding me back.
Thank you in advance!

Can you explain the steps your taking when you try to get into odin
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
The steps I take is put the phone into download mode by pulling the battery and then holding both the volume up and down then reinsert the battery. It shows the download screen. I then start odin and I have tried version 1.7 and the latest version of 3.0.7. Then I plug my phone into the USB port and windows pops up saying unrecognized device. I have reinstalled drivers several times. Now to describe my desktop is that it is a pentium III 550 Mhz...and old computer and running Windows XP Professional. I am able to do the mass storage when the phone is on normally so it recognizes it that way though. I have tried different USB ports on it as well so just unsure. I have rooted the phone and have superuser app access. ROM manager was supposed to have flashed the recovery mode but it never goes into the CWR mode either and its version is 2.5.1.2 which I have seen work on these phones in videos on YouTube so guess I am trying a different route so I can play with the mods to find a ROM I like. I was going to try the Avatar ROM for the vibrant but just cannot seem to get to the point where I can get the ROM flashed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Keep the battery in and lull up Odin. Cut off the phone and hold both volumes while inserting USB hopefully the computer will then recognize it

Its still not recognizing it. I am almost consigned to wait until either my laptop is fixed or get a new laptop to replace it because this desktop is 13 years old and has the old USB 1.1 but wouldn't think that makes a difference. Any other ideas? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the USB drivers but I have not installed Kies yet but heard some bad things about that.

USB cable does make difference. And USB ports even on the same computer. Check also your phone's drivers. Finally, try out Heimdall one-click package for t959, it is more powerful and sensitive than Odin.
Good luck

Do you have the link to the Heimdall one-click package or do I just google it?

And since only thing remaining in your case is USB cable, I would say try with a different micro USB cable, even a different vendor's will do, as it did the trick for me( see the edit in OP)
I will try that. Thank you! I need to get a car charger anyway so I can get a usb adapter for the car and a usb cable and try it that way.

For now, you can try any micro usb cable that fits, they all have same specifications.
Okay. Thanks!

Stuck on cache
I'm also stuck on cache & I have tried more than one USB cable. Is there something else that I might be doing wrong? I'm completely uninclined technologically. The fact that I got my phone into download mode after 'bricking' is a feat in itself. Now what do I do when I'm stuck??

Great that you could get it to the download mode.
Follow these steps:
1. Make sure that you have the correct drivers installed for your Operating System. Preferably, download the latest drivers. You can verify when your device is recognized when connected in download mode.
2. Make sure you follow this thread for Odin flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
3. If unable to flash using ODIN successfully, try with different USB ports, on same computer or a different one, say, a laptop.
4. If still unable to do so, try with different USB cables (any micro-usb should do).
In this way, you should by trying multiple alternatives at each step you should be able to eliminate the options and figure out what is really creating the problem in your flashing. Trust me my friend, this has not go anything to do with technology. just follow the steps, try alternatives and you would resolve this. Do post back on thread, if you have any queries.
