Help, my phone is now a mess! - no odin, bad clockwork - Fascinate General

My phone is running DL30 based Blackhole 4.01 with the DL09 modem. When I try to plug my phone into a computer, the phone detects the computer, but the computer does not detect the phone.
- The phone starts charging
- The phone says "USB Debugging Connected"
- The computer does nothing
- adb devices lists no devices
- same thing in download mode, the computer doesn't see the phone
I have tried on OS X and booted into Windows XP.
I have no idea how to handle this. The one thing I tried was installing the Stock/rooted DL30 rom instead of Blackhole, but that didn't seem to fix and I went back.
To make matters worse, assuming that everything in ROM Manager is basically safe, I accidentally installed orange clockwork today and I cannot figure out how to get back to a working clockwork. The All ClockworkMod Recoveries option in ROM Manager does nothing - they all say download error.
Wow. If anybody can help with any of this, that would be great. Thanks everyone.

Did you install the proper samsung drivers onto the computer.
Edit: Also did you try to Odin, the title indicates no odin, but your explanation doesnt say so. (Open Odin, remove battery, hold down volume and insert usb cable)

what do you mean "onto my phone?" My Windows system has samsung drivers and OS X were both previously able to connect, use odin, etc. I don't know when it stopped working.
Yeah, odin doesn't work because the computer never detects that the phone is attached.

Sorry, meant computer.
What do you mean odin stopped working, your explanation doesnt say anything about odin as my edit in above post.

What I mean is that I used odin to install DL09. After that, I don't recall every attaching to my computer, but when I tried recently to install EB01, it no longer works. Sometime after flashing DL09, my phone is no longer detected by computer.

Im saying does odin detect the phone, not the computer.
You can odin the updated CWM (non orange) from here:

no, odin does not see the phone.

Have you put your phone in debugging mode

Are you sure Odin doesn't work?
Check USB settings on your phone. My rom gives me media player mode and mass storage mode. Don't have my cable with me to test if media player mode stays hidden from the pc.

Odin uses download mode with phone off.. What would this matter?

I was IRL with OP trying to solve this a few days ago. It's not that improper/no drivers are installed, the computer literally does not detect that there is a device connected to that USB port. lsusb on Linux turns up just the controllers and root hubs, and devmgmt.msc on XP does not show anything attached at all, even after a manual hardware scan. adb shows absolutely nothing. My Captivate does show up on all the same scans, regardless of the USB mode (Kies/mass storage/media player/what have you.)
He has tried this on multiple computers, so individual ports/USB controllers/drivers/OS bugaboos have been effectively ruled out.
My thought is that between your last flash, OP, and now, your physical microUSB port on the phone is damaged. If you no can haz insurance, I'd say you're SOL.

FYI: The phone does not say "debugging connected" when plugged into the wall. I think the my USB connector is damaged or something. I may consider seeing if I can get it repaired, or I may just wait until I can get a different phone that's better supported by manufacturer (and therefore by the mod community)

MTP USB Device Failed

I have tried this on both Win7 32 and 64 to no avail. I have tried different drivers, different versions of Kies, but I can never get Kies to see my TMO Vibrant. Not sure what else to try.
Same here. I don't know why others got it work. -___-
You need touchwizz to be running for it to work so if your using a different launcher switch back to tw and then give it a go.
Using Home Switcher I switch back to TW, I get the MTP screen on the phone for a few seconds and then it returns to the home screen. A dialog box on the computer says:
Device driver software was not successfully installed
MTP USB Device XFailed
I've had the same problem, when I plug my vibrant in and have the usb set to kies, it gets stock on the "initializing" screen on my phone. It locks the screen and nothing works. I have to reboot my phone every time. I've tried downloading all the latest software and drivers from samsung's website and still no luck.
Very frustrating.

Help connecting Epic to pc (yes I used the search and my issue isn't resolved)

Ever since I rooted I can not get my Epic to connect to a computer period. I'm about to give up and just deal with what I got, hopefully someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. Before anyone decides to be a smart ass I have used the search function literally for days and have tried tons of things recommended with no result. I am the first to admit I'm an idiot when it comes to anything involving computers but I'm pretty determained to learn.
This has to be the phone because I have tried to connect to 2 desktops (1 running Windows 00 and 1 running the most updated Ubuntu), and 3 laptops (Windows xp, Windows Vista and Ubuntu). When I rooted I used the Vista computer and connected fine (can't anymore). I didn't have the space on the C drive to install the Android SDK so I switched to Ubuntu (first time user btw lol). Somehow when I was backing my SD card I lost any access to it or the notification bar. I never got my SD back til I rebooted but I haven't been able to connect to any PC since. When I charge (even in the car) it always tries to stay in mass storage mode. I basically charge in my car with my phone off hoping it will just charge and not mount my sd card to my car or wall lol. Yes I wiped 3 times, partitioned sd, tried several different cables (but my husband used mine and no problems on his Motorola) I'm sure I've done something wrong when I rooted or mounted to Ubuntu.
I also can't use adb. I followed the directions to the t (a few times lol) but when I run any commands it says "no such file or directory" I didn't have adb on the windows pc when I di noobnl's one click so I never ran the (adb shell ect) commands. I now can't do jack. I am now running noobnl's DI18 ROM with modem.bin flashed thru Clockworkmod.
I have tried all the basics you will find wit 2 days of web search.
My goal is DK28 (dream on Erica lol)...Thanks for any help and for anyone sparing me a lashing ;-)

When you plug in on your windows pcs...in Device manager..do you see anything appear? also do you have USB debugging on the phone?
USB debugging on?
Have you tried reinstalling the drivers for the Epic?
Rebooted phone and PC? (Sometimes it helps)
Used Odin?
Something might have been screwed up during one of your downloads, bad file maybe. Try reinstalling your drivers first, use Odin (phone must be in download mode), and see if it recognizes te device. If it does then Odin the stock .tar file and go from there. It'll give you a fresh start.
That's all I can think of right now.

I bet your USB debugging is on since most root's requier it. Even tho it says connect to pc if usb debugging is on it wont connect to my windows 7 box
I would suggest, if you're really having this many issues, just boot into download mode (1 on the keyboard + power button) and odin back to di18.
Just for kicks have you tried Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset? I assume that wiping does the same thing if not more but it's worth it to see if it somehow resets a setting that might be the issue.
What's left - software issue or Hardware issue.
Software:
hmmm...yeah gotta try connecting through Odin which uses downloader mode instead of USB modes...
Can Odin see your phone? Run Odin as admin with antivirus off, and proper samsung drivers installed. Then boot phone holding down 1 key into downloader mode. Connect to computer through USB port on back of computer (i.e. directly to motherboard) - does Odin identify something attached to USB port?
Yes - flash the dk28!
No - with Odin still on, unplug the USB cable, pause, and reconnect it. Still No? Try a different USB port on computer. Also try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers - be sure to reboot the PC. If still No, then try on another computer, and as you did before, try different cables. Still No?? --> hardware problem with phone.
Hardware problem with phone: Look at the usb port in the phone - is there any junk in there that might interefere with the connection?
Yes - clean it out
No: phone perhaps internally damaged:
Solution for hardware damage:
You and husband clean up and go to sprint store.
At store - tech will know phone is rooted, so:
--Tech more likely to like you? You handle it, maybe even blame husband. Husband can silently attend and look sheepish, playing the part of 'me man, me dominate environment, me break fancy tech of wife, me sorry." Try to get free replacement phone while simultaneously promising never to let your husband root the phone again, or even touch it.
--Tech more likely to like husband? He goes alone, cops to the true story of how you rooted it and then was backing stuff up when it suddenly stopped working [truth from men? so sincere!]. Try to get free replacement phone while simultaneously promising not to let you in the house should you even attempt to root again.
P.S. forgot to add you might turn off the PCs firewall while testing, as well.

same here. I tried out the free tethering app the other day and with usb debugging on i coudl never get it to install the proper drivers. Without it on and the 64bit drivers installed Odin worked just fine.
I have seen many Galaxy S devices not connect to a computer because of a faulty USB cable. Had my girlfriends sister switch out 3 Vibrants only to accidentally try and connect it to a laptop with a different USB cable and I've seen two others not connect with the stock Samsung USB cable.
How I fixed the tethering issue
I've had the same problem with my galaxy s - connecting to the PC (Win7 32bit) just doesn't do anything. As a test, I had a friend with the same phone/rom (froyo, rooted) connect - and he was able to! It installed the drivers and it just worked. He disconnected, I connected, and now it's fine.
So, see if you can find someone with the same phone and see if they can connect. Makes no sense to me, but it worked.
I've had my Epic fail to mount before. Interestingly any time I had an issue it was with a Mac - it always mounts on a PC. I'll stop now before I open up a can of worms.
Best advice I have is get a Dropbox account. You can use that guy to move files from a computer to the SD card without having to mount to the computer. Perhaps you can get a factory ROM (with root of course) on your phone that way?
You can get a app from the market called SWIFTP (free) & connect to your sdcard via ftp server. This can be a temporary fix till you get your connection error resolved.
I have 1 USB port on my laptop that the Epic shows up as "unknown device" on. Works on every other port, and everything else works just fine on the same port. The factory USB cable is finicky!

Windows doesn't recognize my phone

Alright, so I've been trying to figure out why Windows doesn't recognize my phone in Download Mode (attempting to get EB13) and I've now realized it doesn't even detect it in Mass Storage mode (Windows tells me a USB device was not recognized when I connect it)
Any ideas?
I'm stumped here...
Note: tried it on both x86 and x64 versions of Windows.
Download the latest drivers. As for download mode areu trying to use odin?

Check the "teeth" in where the cable connects to your phone. Some people have had them bend out of place.

Just downloaded them onto my x86 machine, and even when connecting my phone in normal mode (when it's fully on) it tells me device not recognized.
So at this point, I'm not even focusing on Odin, because nothing seems to be able to see my phone over USB.
I've even tried a different cable, but to no avail.
And yeah, I tried the Samsung EB13 download and I tried Odin. Neither could see it (just like Windows).
Other then this, it works perfectly fine. So it's not like I bricked it or anything.
Having the same issue. Tried multiple computers, reinstalling the drivers, and multiple USB cables. No luck. Makes things tough trying to get EB 13.

Alright, so I'm not alone here...
Windows actually seems to have just recognized it while powered up fully (and is currently installing the drivers).
Figure I'll let that finish and then try Download Mode again.
And then hope for the best I guess.
EDIT: It seems to be working now.
The Samsung EB13 utility is doing its thing in Download Mode.
Crossing my fingers it finishes without incident.
Uninstall drivers then install then reboot pc and phone then try. If reboot didn't solve the problem reboot phone and try again.
Epic 4g
Well, it seemed to be working.
But now my phone has a green screen and the EB13 utility is stuck on "FACTORYFS" and the progress bar says "Elapsed Time: 18sec.... 4%"
I really hope this didn't brick my Epic
anyone know where the drivers are for the epic
shud be somewhere on this site.. or on samsungs website.. its easy to just google..

[Q] Desperate Need of Help

Alright, Ive been browsing these forums ever since I got a Captivate and now I am trying to help a friend that has an Epic. They currently have dk28. Their Epic has always been Flakey on being detected on computers. We have tried three, it only gets detected on Mass storage on one of those and doesnt get detected in dowload mode on any of them. That being said, We cannot get back to stock via Odin, or use the Samsung official Update due to that it will not be detected in download mode. Can anyone tell me is there anything I can do at this point? Ive already tried 3 cables, uninstalling and re-installing drivers, etc... I am hoping maybe there is some way to get back to stock without odin, then from there getting to EB13 without the use of a computer. Thanks in advance and I look forward to posing here.....
Did you restart the computer at all?
usb debugging enabled?
i have trouble connecting sometimes and it's always solved by restarting the phone.

Are you placing the phone in Download mode???
****Ensure USB Debugging is Enabled.
Download mode:
1. power off the phone.
2. Press 1 + Power button together
otherwise, I would highly recommend to:
1. uninstall drivers
2. restart the PC
3. install the Samsung drivers
4. restart
5. try connecting the phone (while powered on) and letting the PC recognize it.
6. Once drivers are installed, unplug the USB cable and Power off the phone
7. Place the phone in download mode and reconnect the USB cable and let the secondary drivers install.
8. unplug and reboot the phone, and restart the PC for last time.
Try Odin now, remember you need the phone in Download mode to use Odin.
Note: Yes I know I send the OP to restart many times his PC but, with windows we can never "restart" to much...
Couple things:
What OS are you using? If vista or 7, plug it in in debugging and go to the devices window in control panel, see if there is a samsung device there. If there is, right click and look at properties..check to see if there's an adb driver. If you see other drivers but not adb then its matter of getting the drivers to install somehow.
Second, there IS a full di18.zip, and a modem updater.zip to di18 as well, both flashable in CWM..(I believe its in a thread started by noobnl, its kinda old)...you might only have to do the .zip though since you'll eventually be going to the eb13 modem. I don't know for sure.
But be wary: switching android versions with CWM can be dangerous. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but it can actually be riskier than using odin. I would say use this only in last resort.
If you decide to do this, MAKE SURE you have the full download (I say download twice and compare the sizes just to make sure), have a full battery and keep it plugged in, and do your 3x wipes
Good luck

Im Using Vista and No Drivers were there.... And I guess I may be at the last resort point. Full details?
some people have tried changing usb ports and it will work.
anyone else having problems not being able to connect phone to comp. can try this method but not sure if this works on the dk28.
what you could do is to remove the microsd card from phone use the adapter that came with it and put sd card into your laptop or if you have a external hub then your microsd will just be a storage devise then download the mac version of froyo from samsung (sorry i can't post outside links yet)but it is the samsung support downloads then search for this SPH-D700ZKASPR click on the software then download the mac version to comp. then copy and paste what you downloaded to the root of the sdcard (the first one you see when you open the sdcard) then put card back in phone, power off phone wait untill all lights go off press volume down, camera and power at same time. then in recovery chose update.zip from sd by using volume buttons to chose what you want to do then press the home button to start.
I had issues with mine taking the update (and issues with it beforehand) and getting it recognized on two different computer, multiple times, it seems completely random whether or not it would work sometimes.

Hate to ask, but did you follow the instructions EXACTLY as the SW Updater tool says? Pull battery (next) - Download mode (next) - plug into PC (next) - Pull battery (again) (next).
One of the steps the tool does has to do with installing drivers... you mentioned Vista, but is it 32 or 64 bit? Have you tried a different PC?

I have the exact issue with my phone. I can only connect to my computer using the back usb ports (off the motherboard). I'm on windows 7. If you haven't, give that a shot. Even try uninstalling the drivers, connecting to the back usb ports and see what it does.
Saw someone post about Odin only working when they flipped the phone face down - thought it had something to do with the accelerometer. I suspect that in that case it might just be a bad connection and flipping the phone over made the contacts work. Worth trying though it you are desperate.

Not to sound dumb, but are you using the same cord as your wife to try and make transfers? I have a computer in my living room, with 2 different USB Cords that my wife and I use for charging in the evenings. One of them connects to the computer properly, the other is unreliable for data and wont ever recognize a phone attached to it. Figured I'd ask so you can rule that out.
Also if the USB port is plugged into a hub, or front of the PC, try moving it to a USB port in the back of your PC that is directly attached to the motherboard. Also make sure there is nothing inside your phone USB slot. I have had some crap get in there (hence the slider on top I NEVER close when I unplug it, ) and it wouldn't connect to PC either.
These are both obvious solutions but we might as well try and start there. Let me know. I'd say uninstall/reinstall the drivers on the computer also, but if one phone works, and the other doesn't so it's not the drivers.
I had a similiar problem where my GF's phone connected fine with USB debugging on but my phone wouldn't. Tried goin back to stock...everything. Finally just put USB debugging on, plugged my phone in, went to Device Manager and where it said Samsung Android, I hit update drivers from Windows Update. Took like 20 minutes but everything worked fine after that.
I am using same chord and port as I did with my wives phone. Good question. I cleaned the contacts in the usb port still nothing. I had usb debugging on... Just tried it with it off nothing.... I really think I may have garbage data or something messing it up. When I installed ask these roms over the last year I only cleared data like once every 10-20 rom loads our when the rom did it itself. I've never had any issues til now.

That's how I got mine.

If it comes up as unknown device then you'll need to go into the device manager and unistall the software for it. Then advance install the drivers for the unknown device it should then recognise the phone and install the Samsung usb composite device, gadget serial control, and the Samsung mobile Modem. Hope this helps

Yeah seems like wth its the same phone ^^. But make sure you open the zip and get the drivers out. Let me know if that works I've seen this problem with certain computers it has something to do with itunes sometimes I'm sure you have itunes and if you don't then its windows sometimes needs to be reinstalled.

Samsung Galaxy S2 Stuck in ODIN Mode
I too have a similar issue.
My Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 fails to connect to my computer (also tried another computer and different usb cable), after a failed attempt to upgrade to ICS 4.0. The phone will not load up now to 'normal' operating mode.
It will only come up to the message:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I can no longer get into Recovery or Download modes. At least none that work. (See below)
I also built and tried the USB jig solution, which does power on the phone, but it then comes up and says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME" GT-19100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (2 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
Downloading...
Do not turn off target!!
Any ideas?
Perhaps you can ask in the correct Epic Touch thread instead of the Epic with the keyboard thread. More likely someone there will be able to help you.
