My vibrant is stuck on the vibrant logo after I tried to use the one click unroot program. The only solution I found after two days searching on the net, is to use odin. The first problem is that my phone is locked, so I can't use the vol up+down+power button combo to get into recovery or download mode.
Now comes the issue, I want to use adb to reboot the phone, but adb can't see my device. After installing the samsung USB Drivers, I see that the adb drivers are not installed (The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)), and even when I try to manually install them from the SDK drivers (I checked the "include subfolders) it says that it can't find them.
I have windows 7 x64
Anyone have suggestions to how to install the adb drivers and make the adb see my device?
Can you get into download mode? Have you tried to Odin back to stock? If you want to set up ADB type ADB for dummies in search and you should find everything you need.
Here is the link from the sticky thread for help with drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
I just figured out a neat trick to get phone to work even if it's stuck on the vibrant screen.
Just connect it to the usb, wait until the grey battery picture appears.
After 5 seconds, take the battery out and put it right back, (leave usb in) and wait again. Do it once more, until you see that the battery picture turns green. After that take the battery out and unplug the usb, and turn the phone on.
It should work now.
The thing is that, next time you turn the phone off and on, it would be stuck again, so do something to fix it like odin.
That how it worked for me.
And about the adb driver problem, I just pointed manually the driver update to the "USB Drivers" that TGA_Gunnman posted here (I can't post link. just search usb drivers here in the forum) and after that adb worked like a charm, rebooted instantly to download mode - it's crucial for those like me that have hardware locked phones.
The thing is, that all the other posts say to point it to the sdk drivers, but that dosen't work.
Good luck to all others.
installing the samsung drivers and installing adb are two different things. the samsung drivers should install normal by double clicking the driver package (you may have to still tell windows where to look). installing adb is simply downloading the sdk, however, if you want adb to work everywhere (instead of just the sdk/tools folder) you need to put the sdk/tools folder in your path.
then 'adb devices' should show your device in win powershell, but will only work if you are in the sdk/tools folder or have added it to your environment variables.
Okay im running windows xp, and i have all those drivers installed...

so what am i missing to get my vibrant to be recognised by odin in download mode????
What are you running currently?
simply honey 3.6..... gingerbread
By chance did you forget to enable usb debugging?
idk, i flashed from a 2.2.1 rom to simply honey 3.6 through rom manager, but i did have it enabled through before i flashed for sure.... And usb debugging is not required for download mode as (i think) thats a whole different thing???
It needs to be enabled to use Odin. Also, sometimes for Odin to see my phone I have to unplug my phone and open Odin a few times before I finally get Odin to see my phone. It's very finicky for me, always has been

Go into windows device manager. Make sure that your computer is even seeing the device and that it has recognized the drivers for it. If it recognizes it, try rebooting computer then restart the process. Also make sure your phone is actually in DOWNLOAD mode. Not Recovery mode.
If you do not know the difference between the two, let us now and we'll assist further.
Happy hacking!
I use to always have trouble with Odin..then one day someone mentioned they always right clicked on Odin and chose "run as Administrator", I have never done that because I figured I was the administrator....but once I did it, never had a problem since.
Another problem I run into (well not anymore) is the USB port I plugged into. If I was on a hub or something it wouldn't work. If I plug right into my computer it works properly.
I also use adb commands to get into download and recovery when I'm Odin'ing. It also let's me know if my phone is detected by the OS.
#adb devices (should show your phone listed)
#adb reboot download (reboots your phone into download mode)
#adb reboot recovery (reboots your phone into recovery mode)
You'll need the SDK installed for adb to work.
Since I started doing these things, I have had ZERO problems with Odin and flashing my phone.
ay.. usb debuging was enabled before i flashed... now if my turn turns on it goee onto a bootloop... so everytime i cinnect my phone to the computer it says device not recognised. ohh and one thing to mention is that my computer doesnt have a highspeed usb port
Three button to download mode - power+vol up+vol down and see if you can get it into download mode then plug in usb (1.0 should work), then run odin...
otherwise i think you're looking at trying to make one of those jigs or replacing your phone...
try
1. Start Odin
2. Plug USB cable into pc
3. Power off the Phone.
3. Pull the Battery.
5. Plug USB cable into Phone.
6. Press and Hold: Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power, all at the same time.
7. Re-insert the battery.
8. The phone will power now, when the screen starts a cycle of going to a BLACK screen, release ONLY the POWER button.
9. When you see the download icon release the volume buttons,
10. Odin back to stock by putting the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
Afaik the three button combo is for
Recovery mode. Follow the above directions up to the power button part. While holding both volume buttons, it should go directly into download mode when the usb us plugged in
Try removing all drivers then reinstall if xp doesn't pick it up
Beware of angry gingerbread man
power off phone
pull out battery
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!
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers
Install samsung kies mini. It gives you the correct drivers. I once installed those and it messed it up. So install kies mini.

After I flashed or upgraded to the leak Android 2.3.4 from this guy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232703 I tried to root my phone and I found one suggestion that calls Fugu Root, but it doesn't work for me. And then I try to figure out other way to do, And I have to thank you this guy to give me a kernel StocKH3 Kernel with Clockwork Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242533) while I was looking for StockH3 kernel. And now are you ready to take a risk with me? If so, here we go....
1. open your Captivate phone that's running the leak Android 2.3.4 I897UCKH3, and go to android market then download superuser and install it on your phone, make sure that you have done this step.
2. Go to download StocKH3 kernel with Clockwork Recovery from this guy or download here to make sure you have the right one.
3. Do you have Odin3 1.81? if not, download here if you already have then skip this step
4. once you downloaded everything and installed superuser, go to download su-2.3.2-efgh-bin-signed.zip for gingerbread and here a link
5. Now turn off your phone and open odin3 1.81 as administrator, then connect your phone into usb cable while you'are connecting press the volume up and down together to get into download mode (you can do another way to get into download mode it doesn't matter).
6. make sure that your phone connected to computer, you will see the yellow on the box, when you connected.
7. now put put the boog_kh3_kernel3.tar into the PDA section, then click on Start button and wait until you finished and your phone will reboot.
8. go to upload file u-2.3.2-efgh-bin-signed.zip into your micro SDCard, or your internal storage. then reboot into recovery mode, the best way to do this is "adb reboot recovery" you will see Clockwork Recovery mode
9. Now, Go to select Install zip from sdcard >> toggle signature verification >>> Choose zip from sdcard.
10. then go to select one the one you've uploaded on your sdcard or wherever you uploaded to (u-2.3.2-efgh-bin-signed.zip). then select yes to install it.
after you finished install u-2.3.2-efgh-bin-signed.zip from the recovery mode, reboot your phone and you are now rooted.
have a good luck, it worked as well. sorry about my english also.
Thanks.
I cannot get Odin to 'recognize', no COM port displayed, my phone, which is in download mode; steps 5 & 6.
I can get Odin, and 'adb devices' to 'see' my phone when turned on, but not in DL mode.

Does your computer have a driver of your phone? Have you done anything about Odin before, you can try another version of odin, it might work. But I don't know why you computer doesn't recognize your phone. If you never done anything about odin, I would suggest you to download Kies which is the updater firmware management for your phone, then you will have driver after you install this software.

Yes, I have used Odin many times. ODIN and ADB 'see' (yellow COM port, adb devices = attached device) my phone when it is in normal mode, but as soon as I enter download mode (jig, 2-button) it loses the connection.
I suspect I am missing something, like maybe bootloaders, but not really sure.
I used UCKH3 Heimdall-One-Click [beta] to recover my semi-stoned phone. It (I897UCKH3/2.3.4) works pretty well: voice, SMS, 3G (DL is great: ~ 5 Mbps, UL just OK, previously ~ 2 Mbps, now ~ 500 Kbps, so maybe not the best modem for my provider?), but still un-rooted.
sounds too simple to be a solution but have you restarted your computer? I've had some odin issues like that and a simple reboot fixes the problem. The other fix that I've personally seen is to change your USB port. If you're connected in the front of the PC, move it to the back and see if that helps.

I used this method ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232703 ) to upgrade to the leak I897UCKH3. I don't think that is the problem about boot loader
I think the standard drivers from Samsung that are used for Odin and the Heimdall drivers conflict. Try removing the Heimdall drivers if you want to use Odin.

^ What he said. If you are on windows Heimdall drivers will conflict with Odin
Thank you december30, nyydynasty, gibson3659, prbassplayer .
I am rooted.
I de-installed the Heimdall Drivers per the directions (below), re-booted, de-installed the Samsung USB Drivers, re-booted, re-installed the Samsung usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64 (different drivers than I had used previously), re-booted.
Then I could 'see' my Captivate, when in Download Mode, with both ADB and ODIN.
I guess my next question is, which ROM should I use? (I only ended up with this 'stock' ROM as a result of trying to recover my phone from a persistent soft-brick situation.)
I found these Heimdall Driver un-install instructions:
Driver Uninstallation Instructions:
1. Put your Samsung Galaxy S into download mode by holding Volume Down + Home + Power.
2. Plug your phone into your PC.
3. Open up Device Manager on your PC (Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager).
4. Under "Libusb (WinUSB) devices" right click on "Samsung USB Composite Device" and chose Properties.
5. Go to the Driver tab and select Update Driver.
6. Chose to browse your computer for the driver.
7. Chose to pick from a list of devices drivers on your computer.
8. Pick the original Samsung Composite driver, press next and then follow the prompts.
9. Done

Yes during my Thanks post above, the THANKS buttons no longer appear, but I did miss gibson3659 originally and corrected that oversight. Also rated the thread 5 stars.
Thanks again.
Any recommendations on a ROM?
In my opinion i would stuck in this rom. Until the official one cone out.

Sounds stupid, but this happens to me when I plug my phone into the front USB ports on my PC. Plugging it into the back (directly to the pc) works.
Thanks for this...I am on (now rooted!) stock kh3 and find I prefer this method rather than the whole kernel swap! I will be sure to hit the THANKS button when I can get to a pc!

I had rooted my G2, then had some issues... did the LGFlash Tool to go back to stock and now my phone won't come on. I've had it plugged to the wall charger for about an hour and it won't come on.... no download mode either.
Is there anyway to fix it or am I screwed?
Did u try using the pdanet? I was exactly in the same situation as u are. No matter if the lg drivers are installed.... The pc won't recognize the phone as ADB.EXE had stopped working. Here is what I did:
1) install pdanet.
2) it asked me to select the device and then it installed the drivers.
4) with this hopefully the ADB.EXE should start in your device manager. In my case it did.
5) go to google adb bundle folder.
6) go to SDK>platform tools> and paste your CM and gapps there.
7) try bridging the connection by going into the command prompt > and CD into the platform tools directory.
8) in the cmd put the command 'amd push "CM NAME" /sdcard/' and hit enter
9) this should push the file onto the phone... Do the same for gapps... And install it from the TWRP.
10) ALL THE BEST

MSM8994DownloadTool.exe Won't Work For Me
I need help.
My phone is stuck on the fastboot screen, meaning I can only Power if off and into Fastboot (using the Vol+ and Power buttons). Other than that, it does nothing. I cannot get into the OS at all, which means I can't enable USB debugging or anything. Fastboot recognizes my device, which is a OnePlus Two), but ADB won't, nor will my Windows 7 PC as a USB device. With that in mind, I followed all the steps in the posted guide. I get all the way to running the "MSM8994DownloadTool.exe" and nothing happens. Its as if the Recovery Tool doesn't even see my device. So, I'm really stuck and don't know what to do.
For clarity, here's exactly what I did (see below). I get all the way to Section B, Step 2 and that's where it breaks down. There's no different line, and no process ever runs, even after waiting 30 minutes. I ran the tool as Administrator, but still no luck. Can anyone help me? Just as additional info, my Mac also does not recognize my OPT as a USB device. Also, I tried my backup USB-C cable from the OEM, with the same results.
A. Install the Certificates followed by the Qualcomm drivers.
1. Restart your computer with Driver Signature Enforcement Disabled (Advanced Startup) Let me Google it For You
2. Open the folder "qc" and install the Test Certificate in the following Stores: Trusted Root, Trusted Publisher, Third-Party Root and Personal
3. Run the Qualcomm setup wizard (also located in the qc folder)
4. When completed, restart your PC again with Driver Signature Enforcement Disabled (Advanced Startup)
5. Turn off your phone and disconnect the USB cable from the phone.
6. Hold vol-up and plug in the USB(Do not press Power button). The screen will stay black but you will hear a sound from windows that a device is attached.
7. The driver should now automatically install. If not, go to device manager and right click "Unknown Device" and click "Update Driver" Search up the QC folder and press ok. The driver should now install. (Got the RELINK issue? Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1&postcount=46)
B. Flashing Process
1. Open the OnePlus2_14_A.11_151211 folder and open "MSM8994DownloadTool.exe"
2. Look if your phone is detected in the list. everything is Chinese but you will see one row with different chinese text from the rest within the list. If not, recheck if driver is detected in Device Manager (If not, go back to Step A - Line 4).
I think you have a bad download, try downloading it again and download the 3.0.2 version if you can.

I've bricked my op2 a while ago. I'm a real noob so I don't know if it will work but have you installed the adb mac drivers or try "fastboot continue" while in fastboot. Just don't give up and keep try. You have absolutely nothing to lose.

Try connecting your OPT to some other guys pc and see, it may be because of your pc's end that its not getting connected.
And if the same thing happens with a different pc then yeah your usb port or something is fried. Try going to service center if the same thing happens again.
