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...
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!
Hello everybody,
last friday I plugged in my Galaxy S4 (i9500, rooted) with my usb cable to my PC, everything was fine. I shut off my computer, went on a holiday for weekend, used the cable with my laptop and my friends' laptops everything was fine. Now I came back home, opened my PC, plugged in my phone, it only charges! I cannot access to my files and stuff via neither My Computer or Kies. It only charges.
My computer uses Windows 7 x64, everything up to date, tried to uninstall Kies, Samsung USB driver, none worked. I tried using diffrent cables, usb ports too. Diffrent computers, no problem. My Pc, only charges
The thing is when I look into my pc's device manager it says "PCI Input Device". When I first plugged in today and it didn't worked it said "Android Composite ADB Interface"
Both had yellow exclamation mark on their symbols. I tried removing them, restarting pc and swiching users, none helped.
Any Ideas?
Thanks..
Problem solved
I removed all the drivers, put my device to download mode and plugged in, worked very well.....
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.

Did you fix this problem?
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!
Yesterday I managed to unbrick my x722 from QFIL, but the windows doesn't recognize it, i've tried different USB ports, different cables, different PCs, but nothing happens, the phone doesn't show on Device Manager, i even installed windows from zero, but the phone is still not recognized, he only connected the first time, then was no longer recognized, I let the battery die and turn on, but nothing, i don't know what to do anymore
EDIT 1: ok, I was able to connect after leaving it away from USB for a while, but it only connects once and then windows no longer recognizes
EDIT 2: By doing the same thing of keeping the phone away from the cable for a while, I was able to make the computer recognize, but not yet recognize fastboot, but the windows recognize as ADB Interface with a yellow triangle
EDIT 3: I was able to install TWRP by the all in one tool, I was connecting the phone to the computer until it recognized, I rebooted straight to the bootloader, unlocked my bootloader and then installed the TWRP, however, I couldn't get to TWRP yet, another 2 or 3 hours I'll try again
EDIT 4: i finally got it, computer recognized it, i used the all in one tool, i flashed twrp, i installed the rom via adb sideload and here we are, the phone is alive
I had a problem similar but it was the USB port was dirty I turned it off and cleaned the port carefully with a needle to get the lint out and then with a old toothbrush that had a drop of 90% rubbing alcohol on it...
