[Q] Odd Download mode problem

[alex4lex]

So, to start off, the issue at hand is not download mode, I can get into that quite easily. It's that neither one click odin or regular odin won't recognize it. I've gone back to stock so many times without issue, but this particular time I tried, it froze on sbl.bin. My screen turned a greenish black, and stayed on that for about 10 minutes before I decided it was frozen and I did a battery pull. Tried it again and the exact same thing happened. Now, windows says "One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it"
I was going from icezar's Darky's 5.5 to stock when this happened. I've gone from the first i9000 2.2.1 stock rom back to stock 2.1 with no problems before. Any ideas? I've also reinstalled drivers, and I still get that error. also, my power button doesn't do squat when it's completely powered off. Only the volume up+down button combo can bring the download screen up, other than that, no go.

Ouch - You've reinstalled the drivers.
Odin doesn't see it when you have download mode and the USB plugged in.

Can you get ADB to see the device while in download mode?
You had USB Debugging turned on before things went south?

Hmm.. you could try:

• Turn on ODIN
• Remove the SIM, external SDCard, and battery.
• Hold down both volume buttons - plug in the USB cable then jam in the battery and see if ODIN will recognize it then.

But.. if you can't get the computer to recognize your device even after re-installing the USB Drivers?

eh you might wait for a few more posts - but I think you might be fubard.

so you went into download mode, clicked start in ODIN 1 click and got hung up? nothing else happened during the process? Was the cable plugged all the way in?

Not sure how ADB would work if windows isn't recognizing it.. Do you have another PC you can connect to?

Sounds like it pooched while he was trying to Odin 1 Click back to stock and now its probably fubard as his computer won't recognize the device.

Good call on trying a different computer.

Btw - where are you downloading the USB drivers from? There are multiple sources out there and some seem to work better than others.

Thanks for the replies guys

I got them from the wiki page way back when around it was first put up... but I haven't really changed them since they were the only ones that I found worked at the time and pretty well actually, they've recognized my captivate perfectly all the time! Well, until recently. I also have kies mini installed if that means anything. I am gonna try a friend's computer and see what happens. *crosses fingers*

if you haven't already, try the files attached to the Odin 1 click thread (on any pc you can get your hands on )

not sure what options you have until you can get a pc to recognize the device

Yup.. the good news if you can get into Download mode on your phone - its def not bricked.

I use the Odin 1-Click USB drivers posted there and have had no issues on either my work rig Windows XP 32 bit or Windows 7 64-bit.
