You need moto drivers check the sbf tutorial by darkonion he has them there.. he also has easy root one-click method incase you have not achieved proper root.

Once you have sdk installed, if you're having trouble connecting your phone to your computer, get "adb wireless" from the market and you can connect that way leaving no need for the usb cable. All you need is your phones wi-fi turned on and a know how of adb.

You have to have a router too. A way that both the computer and phone can connect.

Yeah... Thanks

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?

Run as admin..

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.

I never had an issue rooting, someone with more knowledge will reply soon. You cant root if you have update software. You have to go back to older software and do steps before update to keep root.

You have the USB mode set to 'None'?
I have rooted mine half a dozen times, I bet there is something very simple that is being overlooked.

I guess ADB Driver is not installed on ur PC.. Check if the ADB Drivers are installed, otherwise install them. Download from the link below.

It installs ADB Drivers in some point of time... Enjoyyyyy....

Do you have any backups, have you tried rerunning the the setup while still connected.
Ask this question in that thread I mentioned, if not might have to chance it.

it says i have some files missing. and i have everything installed for android sdk.

All you should need are the drivers, put phone in bootloader and then rub the. Bat file from pc. Don't need sdk to perform this, should be automatic.

what drivers am i supposed to have installed exactly?
i downloaded the file, extracted it and click run.bat but still say im missing something

USB drivers I believe, I had to download mine to get computer to recognize my phone. Give me a sec to search something

thanks for the help man, really appreciate it. especially from your phone ahah

Okay, try downloading the file in 1 click root by shabby penguin. Open it and run the PDA setup so you have PDA installed. This should automatically download the drivers you need. Then back out and Go to the 1 click unroot file ( remember to be in bootloader mode) and try to run the .bat again. If not try rebooting or go in to recovery and clear cache and dalvik and try again. Not sure, but trying my best to help.
