So I had my phone rooted, and removed some of the ATT apps using instructions from here: http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/124736-t-bloatware-getting-your-way-delete-some.html
After doing all this, the phone still worked fine, but as of today I can't seem to connect via USB. ADB doesn't see the phone, and even if I disable USB debugging and attempt to just connect as mass storage, the drives don't show up in my computer like they used to.
I attempted a windows rollback to just before I installed the drivers, then reconnected the phone, but I did not get any message about unknown devices, and the phone doesn't seem to be in my device manager.
Can anyone help me out here?
Edit: Running Windows 7 x64
you erased something you werent supposed to. dl the dump posted here & move it to an Micro SD. Put it in your phone and use a program to move it from external to internal memory then load back all the apps you deleted.
If I had deleted something, shouldn't USB connectivity have died right after I did that, and not after a night of doing nothing with the phone?
Either way, How exactly would I go about restoring from that stock dump that was posted?
Mine is doing the same thing. Had a hard time with the windows 7 drivers to begin with though.
I am going back to XP when I get home. Will see if it will recognize it then.

Hm, an update on my situation: 3g watchdog died on me a couple times (gave me the popup, asked me to force close), so I decided to reboot the phone, and now everything works like it used to. I had also restarted my PC since the last time I tried (and failed) to connect over USB.
So if anyone else is having similar problems, I guess try rebooting both the phone and your computer.
I'm going to be keeping a copy of that "Rooted Stock System Restore" update.zip on my phone from now on, just in case.
The first Captivate I got from AT&T did the exact same thing right out of the box. I actually had to return it for another unit. Hopefully that was just a freak thing though.
I had a similar issue with windows 7 when I was first trying to connect via usb. Not sure if this will work for you, but I had to plug it into my rear port, the front ones didn't work just for the captivate.

it seems im having the same probs too i removed the att stock apps that were in one of the posts, im downloading samsung kies atm to see if that will help...
Edit, it did...windows and ADB redetected it.
I also rooted my Captivate and removed all of the AT&T crap. USB connection is still working fine under Windows 7 x64. Didn't install Kies or drivers either.
Halleleujah!
I had the same problem. Got this file from Samsung, and it worked on my Win7Ultimate 64 bit machine.
Try making sure you are back to touch wiz and see if it works... Worked for me.
I had some issues trying to get my phone to connect also ...
Windows Vista64 Ult.
Initially the MTP driver would hang when the phone was connected, and then eventually it would indicate that the installation was successful, then it would re-install itself after about 5 minutes. This was an endless loop which was severely draining of my system resources causing other applications to hang as well. I removed the drivers and ...
I downloaded the USB drivers from Samsung and installed them, when I connected the phone the computer did not recognize it, nor did the display on the phone indicate that it was plugged in. I tried several different USB ports.
I then changed the mode to mass storage and the phone was recognized, but both the internal and my secondary memory cards displayed 0 bytes free of 0 bytes available.
I downloaded the UK version of Kies, this was an utter waste of time. The Kies utility was not able to connect to the phone at all. I mass storage mode Kies displays an alert that it is not compatible, and the same goes for media player mode. If left in Kies mode the phone displays "connected", but the Kies utility just displays "connecting" and never progresses. Uninstalled Kies, and re-installed the Samsung driver ...
Connected the phone in Media Player mode, which is allowing me to access both memory locations without difficulty. Though windows pisses me off every time I connect the phone because it wants to sync windows media center with the phone ... though this is easily ignored.
Has anyone gotten the Kies utility to work with the captivate?

Try the Canada version, that's been working great for me, in Kies mode and all.
I had the similar kind of issue, look for the thread with ODIN and windows drivers, that is what worked for me...
Hello Guys...GretoVerno here fellow Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant Owner...
I have this phone and everytime i connect it to usb i Get the Message
"USB Device Not Recognized" error message...I have installed all the drivers i could possible find on the internet and the error still pops up...i ahve tried using the phone in USB Debugging mode to no avail what so ever...
Someone Please help if there's a genius out there...I really love this phone
Uninstall the Samsung drivers off your computer. Then reinstall make sure that have the correct version windows 32 bit or 64 bit for the correct operating format. Make sure you give admin rights to it. you can find these drivers in the Noob bible by S15274N in the Gen section. I am assuming there is not a problem with your phone. If you have a friend, check it on their computer, that's an easy way to rule out phone issues. That should resolve what ever problem you have.
There ia another way to check, that is have a friend with odin (or you) and see if Odin recognizes, if it does, then you got it solved or at the very least Odin back to stock and reinstall a new rom, this will solve all these issues as well.
Hope you get it, good luck
Had an issue with my brother in laws comp not recognizing his vibrant. Took an hour or two to get his phone recognized. I think we ended up using the drivers from pdanet instead of the official danny drivers. First try getting your phone to work on another comp. Will help narrow down the issue by 50%

Windows cannot recognize my vibrant!
Hopefully someone can help me out as I am having the
same problem with my computer not recognizing my phone.
The thing is that I am already running Froyo stock 2.2
and at the time I was able to update it to 2.2 my
computer recognized my phone without a problem. I have
been reading the forums for a while now and the only
time anyone had this problem was when they first bought
the phone when it was released but here is my problem.
After updating Kies mini and installing the official
Samsung drivers from the Samsung website I plug in the
phone and i get the error that windows does not
recognize the device. I have tried this on Windows Xp
and Windows 7 on 2 different laptops and got the same
error everytime. So what I did was while on Windows Xp I
uninstalled the unknown driver and I kept plugging and
unplugging the phone and uninstalling the unknown driver
until I got my computer to finally recognize my phone.
Once my computer recognized my phone I Then started
downloading the recent update, when the download was
done as soon as my phone went into download mode my
computer kicked out my phone and gave me the error that
windows does not recognize the device and at that time
Kies mini gave me the emergency recovery notice which I
didnt have to use because the phone booted fine without
fail.
You should also know that prior to the recent
update from tmobile for minor bug fixes I tried to root
my vibrant using the superoneclick root program. Upon
doing this after fighting with my vibrant and my laptop
to communicate with each other my computer recognized
the phone and I attempted to root. Then I got the
looping message and at that time windows did not
recognize my device which then messed up my modem and I
had to do a system restore. So after weeks of fustration
trying to root and now not able to downlaod the recent
update I am now asking for your help as XDA has been
there for us all. I have tried samsung drivers, kies mini
drivers and pdanet drivers and get the same windows
doesn't recognize my device everytime. Does anyone have
any ideas as what I can do to get my computer to
recognize my phone as I can not do anything until my
computer and my vibrant get along. Your help is greatly
appreciated XDA thanks for all that you do!
do you guys have Samsung kies installd??

I am getting the same error and i tried a buddy's cord and it still did the same thing. Not really sure what happened. My phone was working fine just a few days ago. I am wondering if it has anything to do with the large amount of Windows Updates that just happened.
Try uninstalling your drivers and install these. I had the same problem and then I used this and it has worked on every computer. Heck even worked when I hooked up my SGS2

I had the same issue. It is a phone problem and I had to get a warranty replacement. No combo of cables or drivers would fix mine.
Well after uninstalling and reinstalling, trying new drivers, restarting countless number of times, troubleshooting through the device manager, I had the genius idea to restart my phone in a last ditch effort before i gave up and it worked.
Now i feel somewhat like a dodo. Rule #1 - Restart

Have you rebooted since you installed the drivers?
Well I tried those drivers from that link you provided and no dice. Im going to pick up a new usb cord from Tmobile tomorrow and see if that might be the problem. I can always use a 2nd cord for charging I guess.

That would be the logical next step.. just to verify, you have restarted the phone and computer since installing the drivers right? If you have then its most likely the cord. Its weird these cords seem to have been giving me problems more than any previously owned ones ie regular usb or even my amp cord which I step on and rip out the amp more than i'd like to admit

Makes sure that when you uninstall your drivers to restart your PC then reinstall and give a shot. Of course, also make sure you are using the right 64x or 86x driver.

Hey guys,
Just recently, my PC and any other PC Ive tried for that matter will not recognize my Note 3. I had Windows 7 and it worked fine for months, then just the other day it came up on the bottom as USB Device Not Recognized, and no matter what I do it will not do so. Yesterday, I upgraded to Windows 8.1 and still the same result. I have installed Kies 3, uninstalled and resintalled Samsung drivers and still nothing. I am running a custom rom in the stock slot using Safestrap...is it possible that that might have messed up something? Even when the cord is plugged into the PC, the phone doesnt come up with anything notification that it's plugged in, but it does say it is charging. If any of you have any tips or something please help because I am at my wits end.
Thanks
Have you tried with another cord?
Computer doesn't see device... Device doesn't detect plug in... Sounds like a bad USB cord

Yes, actually I have and still nothing...forgot to mention that in the original post.
It's a strange problem which leads me to believe that something has gone wrong in the phone, or that I caused something to go wrong by flashing a rom or three, since it did work previously. Unfortunately, I'm at status: Custom, although my Knox is 0x0.

Yes, this shows as disabled. What should this be?
Can't help you solve your problem, but last night I had a hiccup where I plugged my (17 day old) N3 into my computer in a USB2 port and ... nothing at all. (As if it were electrically disconnected - no "unknown devices" showing)
Tried it in a different USB2 port, and ... nothing.
Tried in in a USB 3.0 port - same computer, same OEM cord - and everything was fine. As far as I knew, nothing had changed on either end of things, although the previous evening I had used a different OTG cable for a USB key with the phone, and I had also had a automatic update of the Samsung Push Service on the phone. Nothing had been plugged into the PC's usb ports since it's prior cold boot. (Win 7 x64 Pro).
This morning (both PC and phone have been rebooted), everything is back to normal - both on the phone and the PC. Both the USB2 and USB3 ports all seem fine.
Ugh. Makes me nervous - brand new hardware.
Boot into Odin mode THEN plug the device in, let windows find the drivers for it then once that's done, reboot the phone regularly and see if it works then. It appears to be an issue with most to ALL Samsung devices, but this worked for my wife's galaxy S3 when the computer wouldn't recognize it and the phone didn't detect a PC connection.

Thank you! Worked perfectly!
I have the same problem, do you have any solutions ? Thanks.
I too have been struggling with this problem. The is no USB symbol in the notifications area on my phone whether I plug into to my computer at work (Win7) or at home (Win7), using a usb3 cable or a usb2 cable. Its as if there was a setting on my phone that allows recognition when plugged into a computer that has been turned off.Is there such a setting? I would love some help on this as well. Thanks in advance! I am rooted with towel root and have had no problems until last week. When I look in the device manager on my computer it shows :
SAMSUNG Android Phone
SAMSUNG Android ADB interface
I tried uninstalling the above and then plugging my phone back in and it re-installs the same driver shown above.
For what it is worth here are the drivers for SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface:
c:\windows\system32\DRIVERS\winusbsys
c:\windows\system32\WdfCoinstaller01007.dll
c:\windows\system32\WinUSBCoinstaller.dll
Should I be using different drivers ? Thanks|!
please help!
any solution yet? i have same problem, no usb detection and camera wont work i want to flash stock rom whit odin but i cant get the computer to recognize my phone...
I was able to fix the usb recognition problem. i had to do a factory restore. I lost root but gained usb recognition AND the Over the Air update to 4.4.4 and patiently awaiting the update to 5.0 hopefully this month!
Hey Guys, the other day I tried to transfer some video to a windows 7 pc.
I plug in my usb cable and windows will not recognize the device anymore.
I have tried 4 different machines
4 different sets of drivers, etc.
I just performed a system wipe in twrp and re-installed the os.
Still nothing..
The only acknowledgement windows gives me that it "sees" anything is when i reboot.
once I hit the boot animation i get a "device not recognized" error.
Anyone else experience this issue?
the next step to troubleshoot is to go back to real factory default and start fresh.
Thanks!

I am having the exact same issue!! Were you able to figure it out? I get the slow charging prompt but windows says Device not Recognized. Tried on two windows laptops, a machine with ubuntu install, and a mac.
On the linux machine I try the lsusb command and it does not list it there.

Hey there. I exhausted all efforts to get it to work. I tried everything. I rarely used the port to but it was 100% dead. I ended up calling Verizon to have it replaced under warranty.

Hello!
I just purchased a Note 4 yesterday, but upon plugging into my Windows 8 computer, I keep getting Device not recognized. My computer was already acting up so I decided now was a good time to format the computer.
After re-installing all of my system drivers and Kies, I still get the same issue. What am I doing wrong?
Update:I am testing between two different cables, a known good is the brand new out of box USB cable. I have uninstalled Kies, and downloaded the Samsung phone drivers, restarted my computer and phone, no connection.
I have installed the Universal ADB drivers, restarted, no connection
I have enabled USB debugging on the phone, restarted the phone, and computer, nothing.
I have factory reset my phone, still no good connection.
WHAT IS GOING ON?!
Update/ So after troubleshooting fire a good 2 hours I decided to factory reset the phone. I still was getting the issue. Another Samsung phone was working perfectly on my computer so I just exchanged devices
Glad you have it sorted out
