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.

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?

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.

if youve installed the official drivers go to your settings/ applications/ developmentand make sure usb debugging is checked.. then plug ur phone in.. and pull down the drop bar on the phone.. one of the notifications should say usb connected.. click on it. and it will ask if you want to mount the device to pc.. click yes.. and this will finish the installation of ur drivers.. hope that helps

Also I would suggest updating to EB01 since DL30 isn't supported by devs and is a less stable Froyo build. Uninstall the Samsung drivers, reboot, reinstall and try it again.
Mine quit working today....i disabled usb debug then did a battery pull. Rebooted..enabled usb all is well...

I've had this issue and have tracked it down to my BT dongle. Every time I use it on my win 7 64bit box I have to uninstall the Samsung drivers, then reinstall without the phone or the BT dongle plugged in.
Thanks for all the input. It finally started working. I installed another rom and kernel. But now I can't get odin to recognize the phone in download mode. Weird stuff....

I just ran into this myslef, and I believe the Fascinate has a bit of a multiple personality disorder. When I went through the Windows registry, I found entries listing the phone as a phone, as removable storage, as a SD card reader and as a CD drive. Nothing worked - no matter what I did, Windows wouldn't recognize it as anything.
To solve it, I had to uninstall the Samsung drivers and then search through the registry, removing anything that said Samsung. A bunch of keys gave me permission errors, but after finally removing them all, I connected the phone and it was immediately recognized as an Android Device. I reloaded the Samsung drivers and everything is back to normal.
A major PITA, but I'm just glad there was a solution.
If you want to try to do the same, uninstall the Samsung drivers, open regedit and search for Samsung. Delete any key that says Samsung (assuming you don't have any other Samsung peripherals). Hopefully you won't run into the permissions problems, but if you do, let me know and I'll walk you through how to get past them.
ChrisDDD, thank you. I will try that asap. That is some great information. I will report back my findings after I'm finished.

Well finally got around do working on this. And YES it worked. At least on my XP machine. Got some permission problems on my win 7 machine.
Chris, thanks for that bit of info. Only thing I had to do different than most was to reboot my phone in download from the menu that is installed with my kernel. I couldn't get it to work by pulling the batt and hooking up to pc. Funny stuff trying to get this stuff to work.
Anything that I can try besides Odin to flash the EB01 modem with? I can't get odin, our my computer, to recognize my phone while in download mode.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Do you the latest drivers?
Are you entering download mode with the battery out?
You gotta work on getting your pc to see your phone properly before you can even try odin, definitely need the right drivers, also can try rebooting phone while usb is plugged in.
Sent from my rooted froyo Fascinate
Ad far as I know I have the latest drivers. I finally got the pc to recognize the phone with it turned on to transfer files. So that tells me the drivers are working. And yes, entering dl mode by pulling batt. Not sure where to go from here.
Try all your USB ports. Are you using the original cord that came with your phone?
If you know how to use adb see if normal operations work

FYI I have one desktop and three laptops in my house. one laptop refuses to recognise my fascinate... all the others work fine. Oddly enough..that same computer recognises my friends fascinate. Neither the laptop or my desktop would recognise my droid x but my mothers laptop works fine with my x.
I beginning to think all phones have crappy usb drivers.
I eventually got my desktop to recognise the X too but I had to do some wanky driver cleaning and removing / reinstalling all the USB hardware detected by windows.. and some cab cleaning.
not even sure what worked.
stuff is wack...
I have started cleaning my register on my laptop. Just to see if that would work. Lol. Got to get some permissions worked out first though.

Q&A would have been the better section.
I suppose you're on stock? try connecting to another computer via kies. if it works it's a problem with the kies installation/driver try deinstalling everything and installing it again. If no other computer can recognize it and you're on stock yell at somebody working for your provider and send it in.
Kies is pants. It doesn't do anything apart from use every available resource on your PC. Flash a custom rom and forget about it!

If you are running Kies before connecting your phone, try shutting down Kies competely, connect your phone to your computer, wait untill computer recognizes phone(shouldn't take long), then start up Kies.
It's a method that works for me every time.

Tried - doesn't work it still comes up with 'Connecting' on keys, and 'initializing' on the phone, then finally 'connected' on the phone but its still connecting on kies..
it's always like that when you use the stock rom, if you want to transfer file, set your usb connection setting as mass storage...

I've never installed Kies in my life, so I can't comment on it's functionality. nor am I stock...but before I rooted and started flashing, my Rogers S4 was stock.
I used the AT&T drivers to get it to connect in debug or MTP mode. Maybe they will help. You can find them HERE. click downloads or see all downloads and then EXE on the right for the USB Drivers...
still no luck

well I know those drivers work for fact. My Rogers S4 was running VLUAMDJ software...my computer installed some drivers but it didn't work...it never showed up. just like your symptoms. I uninstalled my existing Samsung drivers (which I downloaded when I got my Note 2)...reboot...install those drivers I linked you to, connected phone...detected right away and MTP started working as expected.
so you either have issues with your system (software wise), or it's a faulty cable. I'm going to lean towards the latter first. It's not the first time I've seen that. feel free to try another cable...also if you want...plug your phone in and take a shot of dev mgr and paste it so I can review...or PM me the pic if you prefer....
I thought kies had a troubleshooting mode. Have you tried that? It is referenced I the noob rooting video.
Here is pic for my dev mngr, I tried 3 usb cable, kies troubleshooting but still not showing up, when I plug my phone kies start-up but does phone does not show up in computer or kies.
Thanks for all reply, I can't send phone to Samsung for repair either because I bought from kijiji and Samsung warranty is not transferable

sorry forgot about the thread, my apologies. I haven't been using tapatalk as much recently, and that's where I used to check my participated threads.
I don't have those devices under ports if I have usb debugging on or off...weird. I'm on win8 x64...the only thing I didn't expand was Portable devices...I only have the two references in my dev mgr....
can you try uninstalling all the detected devices in dev mgr, and delete the driver from the system when doing so? then disconnect the phone, reboot, install those at&t drivers, then plug the phone in and test?
I want to recommend removing Kies before all of that, but not sure if you used it in the past, where it store the backed up data, etc..if you've never used it then please do uninstall Kies before what I mention above...
let me know.

I've installed those drivers on 3 different windows 7 systems this week and not one has failed to recognize MTP on the device first try...I even soft bricked my device a couple days ago, odin'ed back to VLUAMDJ stock, installed drivers on a win8 system that had never had an Android device plugged into it and wasn't connected to the internet (just installed those at&t drivers from a usb drive)...guess what...worked again..
It shouldn't work so easily for soo many people then not at all for you. I'm baffled at how easily it works for me even, and I've been trying to make it not work. I"m a technician I enjoy trying to break things to see if I can duplicate an issue, and fix it....and I can't duplicate your issue.
either something to with your USB port(s), or drivers (either mobo chipset or usb), or windows installation. if you have usb that are controller by a chipset like Intel then other USB that are another chipset, try on the other "bank" so to speak...you'd have ot know how to look for that if you had it though...or try it on someone elses computer with those at&t drivers. don't connect the phone until you install the drivers.
if it's not usb port(s), drivers, or the windows installation you either have 3 bad micro USB or you have a faulty USB port on your phone. or pocket lint preventing a proper connection (although I've assumed you've looked for that already)...those are the only things left.
Still no luck
