why odin doesn't recognize my vibrick

Alright heres the catch. i installed nero v4. with voodoo enable (wich i forgot to disable), i flashed a stock 2.2 kernel on my phone and jk6 modem. Now my phone is soft bricked. Now i can get to the stock 2.2 recovery but when i select "reinstall packages" phone just reboots and does not go to cmw. It also says cant mount to "E". Also whenever i connect the phone to odin in download mode, odin does not recognize it but does if the phone is not in download mode and is just stuck at the samsung screen. Can anyone help me?

Is Nero still on ur SD card? Reflash through CWR maybe.

I had to reset my laptop one time when my drivers were failing it might help not sure though

i finally got odin to recognize my phone. what i did is got a windows 7 pc. installed the samsung drivers and put the phone in download mode and odin recognized it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! finally, my beloved phone is working. by the way im still flashing nero v5 in this, bricking doesn't scare me,lololol.

Odin3: keeps saying Removed, Added ..

Hey all,
I am attempting to restore Vibrant back to 2.1 in order to try out Samsung's official 2.2. When I go into Download Mode and plug up to the PC, ODIN detects the phone, but it will randomly give the noise where you unplug something from USB, and ODIN will say removed, then almost immediately say my phone is added again. I'm nervous to try flashing at this point because I don't want that to happen while I'm restoring to 2.1.
I'm running Windows 7 x64. Has anyone had this problem?

Reboot the pc and try a different usb port then make sure odin is open before you plug the phone into the pc.

Tried this as well, no different result.
Windows 7 is saying:
USB device not recognized
Device driver was not successfully installed
Unidentified device: (red x) device unplugged
SAMSUNG Mobile Modem: ready to use
I'm currently using Nero v5 with voodoo lagfix disabled

Sounds like you could have something as simple as a bad or fatigued USB port or cable. I've seen this sort of behavior with USB devices before and it's usually from a port connection making poor or intermittent contact. Whether it's a port on your cable (either end), your phone, or the ports on your PC...hard to say...

Yes that was the next thing I did. Same result. Is there an issue with the drivers I'm using because of the ROM I'm running? Do I need different drivers?

That ROM should have no effect on the drivers. Have you tried installing the drivers by updating the kies program? You might have to install the drivers and software first.

Yes sir, Kies is up to date as well, and says unrecognized device (obviously lol).
As an aside, as I keep trying and trying, now windows is telling me a usb device has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it.

To rule out a problem with windows have you tried a different usb device on the pc?

Yes, I just plugged my ipod in and am using it as normal. I am also able to use the phone in mass storage mode as well. The problem only seems to occur when the phone is plugged in during download mode.

I think your driver is corrupt. You should uninstall kies and the usb driver, reboot, and reinstall. Stupid question, have you tried a battery pull on the phone?

Ok, I will try that now. I have entered download mode with and without the battery. I will let you know in a few minutes after uninstalling kies and the drivers, and reinstalling the drivers.

When you try odin are you:
1. Opening odin.
2. Selecting the pit and tar files.
3. Putting the phone into download mode.
4. Plugging the phone into the PC.
In that order?

I was opening Odin, putting phone into DL mode, plugging it in, and then messing with the files. When I started the thread this morning it would remove / add constantly, and then it went to not detecting my phone at all and giving me the error message (only in DL mode) once I installed and updated Kies. Reinstalling Samsung drivers now, just rebooted.

Just reinstalled drivers and attempted in the order you provided, and windows is still saying that there was a malfunction with the device.

Can you try a different usb cable?
Kies is still installed right?
Can you use a different pc?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Yes. My sister has the same phone and cable. I'll borrow hers and see if that helps. I appreciate the quick responses, by the way. Thank you very much.
Would the cable only cause it to act up during DL mode and not regular? I can mount normally, etc.
Edit: Odin detects my phone while it's turned on normally. I don't supposed that helps me any.

If there is a bad connection you can have issues.

YES i have the nandroid backup of stock firmware 2.1 in my internal sd card....but i need stock 2.1 kernel to get it working ....

i have the same problem my selfe.. win 7 64bit cant install drivers.. every driver says just "unknown device", if i force install a driver, it comes up with no 10 error.. cant start the device..
i have CF-root 3.1 and docs jvb 2.1, with no usb connection at all...

i had the same problem.. at home and at work i couldn't connect to a pc.. but i connected before on these pc's..
what solved my problem was to connect my phone to a pc where i never connected to.. so without any drivers.. after that my pc recognized it again.

so you are saying the problem lies in the phone, and not on the computer? cause, i have uninstalled the drivers and rebooted.. so it should be as a "new pc"..??

I had to install some drivers that I have downloaded somewhere to make it work. You should start by that

I can confirm, that your capslock is working! Well done!

Do you have samsung kies installed? You need that for your drivers

I'm pretty sure you just need the drivers and not Kies. Well I don't have Kies anyway. Have a look for "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe" ... that's what I used. No crappy Kies.

Call me stupid, but have u enabled debugging mode?

i hope it will help those who have same issue with the usb..

Tnx,peeps. But still no luck. Same problem on another PC, so it must be a rom/kernel flash ****up..

am i missing something here ??
your phones are working right ? just no usb connectivity ??
easiest way would be : download required ROM, copy onto a external sd card using a card reader (who doesnt own one ?? ) boot phone, copy to internal, boot into recovery and flash the .zip
sounds simple to me

Yea, that's whats odd. Phone works just fine, but no USB Conn. So I can't flash with Odin, or transfer files to and from computer. All happened after I installed cf-root.

Galaxy S Pakistan

Samsung Galaxy S Gingerbread 2.3.3 for Pakistan with Urdu support and GPRS settings
This is the safest and fastest ROM available to flash on Pakistani GT-i9000 devices.
Download the zip folders from these 2 links and then extract them first:
http://hotfile.com/dl/119740568/d18d...6_Sbl.exe.html
http://hotfile.com/dl/119386723/337b...files.exe.html
Then open odin from the 2nd folder, put your phone into download mode by pressing volume down+menu key+power on,
connect it via usb cable to laptop,
whenn added is shown in odin, just put the PDA+PHONE+CSC files into odin and click start. (do not re-partition)
After 5min you're done
Just factory reset your phone for first time and enjoy gingerbread. This ROM is quite much a battery saver and extremely fast.
For complete data wipe and format complete phone to eradicate bugs already present, use PIT file also and check repartition before clicking Start Update in Odin,
then after 5min you're done. just start using your phone. no need to reset

HELP phone, yeild, computer sing! (BRICKED?)

PLEASEEE!!! help me out i tried upgrading from kies mini to froyo. I did this with success earlier in the past on my old vibrant but had it replaced to a referbished one and i tried upgrading it now.. but my vibrant was stuck at downloading the uprade on kies mini at 1% for half an hour... and the vibrant had the android shoveling yellow sign saying do not turn off target... for half an hour as well.. I knew something was wrong there because it didnt take even close to that long last time..
NOW I tried unplugging the usb wire restarting the phone in emergency mode still nothing... now all i have is a cellphone...yeild sign... computer icon showing..
PLEASE HELP!!!

Dont worry you totally didnt brick your phone. Its pretty common, can you get your phone into download mode? If you can then just odin to stock.
1.Take your battery, sim card and SD card out
2. Plug in USB Cable
3. Hold volume up/down and plug in battery (There are a few ways of doing download mode and I believe its phone specific, or if you have bootloaders installed its different as well, google around a bit...
4. Start odin and presto, your phone works again!

hey thanx... I just did that.. I never used odin but i installed odin with all the files... I believe my vibrant is hardware locked because i was trying to get into download mode for 2 hours with different techniques.. such as just volume keys and power button... taking out the battery holding volume keys then putting it back in.. but nothing put me into a downlaod mode... somehow odin still found my phone while i was still stuck under that picture...
I loaded the .pit file without the jfd image.... becuase i didnt know what window i was suppose to load the jfd image from... like pda.. or etc???
anyway so i just loaded the .pit file and clicked start it reset the phone and the phone went into restart mode and it turned on fine i checked it works fully... lol.
It makes no sense... was i suppose to load the jfd file somewhere?????
i still want to upgrade my vibrant to 2.2... but now whenever i turn on the keis mini it promps me to emergency recovery upgrade... so i tried doing that and went into download mode since now i can.. and plugged in my phone but the progress bar on my computer for upgrading never moved from 0%... its odd... am i doing something wrong?
so again i disconnected and "bricked" my vibrant again lol... went into odin followed the same steps just loading the .pit file and it reset the vibrant back to normal again lol...
Im so confused yet happy that i have my phone working but i still want my froyo... i love the fact that i can use yahoo video messaging on it with froyo and have flash and other benefits..
any advice?
Thanx again

try this...........
power off phone
pull out battery
GRAB THIS STUFF : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087
turn on odin
attach phone to pc with usb cable
now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.
now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!
make sure u put the proper .pit and .pda file in there proper places on odin and ur set to go.
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers
put pit in pit and tar in pda on odin

Connect it to the PC and see if ODIN recognizes it.
If it does, you are safe, flash stock.
EDIT: nvm, didn't notice the third post was yours.
Anyways, if ODIN can STILL recognize it, get the first from the link on the post above, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS and enjoy your again-useful phone.
I had that same issue once.

Try a JIG. And do a search, I see like 50 posts a week like this.

First.
Thank you all for taking your time to help. I have one last question... since I used Odin but it just reset my phone and I didn't flash the old firware on it..... ever since that now I tried to update my phone with kies mini and it says phone unregistered... in that place before it used to say new firmware available and showed old forward numbers/letters.
So if I use odin all the way will this resolve "unregistered device" problem?
Thanx again

Bricked
I have a similar issue, was soft bricked, Odin to stock then, while using Mini Kies to upgrade back to Froyo the phone turned off and never came back on. I cannot get any response from the phone as far as light's or sounds. Checked a few batteries and still no use. I'm curious if anybody else has had a similar experience?

so if it should solve the unregisted problem... where I put in the pda file... is it possible to put in the last froyo there so odin could flash froyo on my phone so basically i wont have to go through kies process?

odin back to 2.1 then root and then flash a 2.2 rom way better then a stock 2.2 rom

Make sure you have the right odin files, once you have gotten back to normal just do a factory reset on your phone if that is possible. Then root, flash, and do whatever you want to do. Without your proper files for odin you'll get bricked or get something different.

How screwed am I? Odin doesn't recognize phone, vibrant aio toolkit can't adb phone into recovery or download mode. Flashing different rom screwed up during kernal phase and I stupidly rebooted phone. I CAN use a jig I bought to get into download mode but computer Odin doesn't 'see' it.
