Computer recognition help!

Have done done searching, but still can't get my phone to connect to my computer. I've tried everything that I've found posted. Doesn't mean I found then all.
I get "usb device not recognized" when I plug on my phone. I'm trying to flash the modem to get my text messaging to work. Windows 7 64bit
DL30 black hole 4.1
Any help would be appreciated.

As most people would say, wrong place. This is a question that belongs in the general section.
Did you install the samsung driver onto your computer?

Sorry about that.
Yes divers have been installed a long time. I used to be able to connect. Then about a month ago it decided to stop. I even tried it on a XP system, same thing.

Have you tried using a different USB cable?

Yes. Tried my wifes. Tried one from my BB. Tried de-bugging mode. Tried rebooting while connected. Lol

Did you try a different USB port?
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.

[Q] Stuck on DK28? Want EB13 real bad...need help

Hey All,
Currently, my epic is running DK28. I think something is physically messed up with the USB connection (this is my guess), since it never is recognized on any computer (tried multiple). Also, the options for USB hard drive or charge only never appear when plugged into computer.
SO, I am wondering if there is anyway to get back to DI18 via an update.zip mechanism. I am able to use SwiftFTP to get files back and forth from the SD slot. But since the USB drive is not recognized by the comp., Odin or the Samsung update tool are not options.
Wondering if there is any other suggestions out there for me,
Thanks
Also, since I'm running DK28, sprint stores will not operate or give me a new phone since its not the "official" version... already tried.

the only way you are going to be able to update is to get usb working (un/reinstall drivers, use a diff cable, use diff usb ports, etc) and either odin or use the eb13 update .exe on your pc
the only other option you have right now is to wait on a cwm flashable system dump but that will not give you the modem or other things that you will probably need...
so i say fix the usb issue...that is really your only option

I've tried multiple different USB cables, reinstalled drivers (on numerous pc's), and used different ports on those pc's. I think i'm probably SOL on this one.

here is a cwm flashable zip to take you back to di18. [Linky]
You will still need to put the stock recovery back after that if you are trying to go totally stock. I know the files for it are around here somewhere, and iirc they may be in the di18 odin tar.

Ok. Thanks,
I will try to flash the zip provided. If it works and i get back to DI18, then would I be able to flash the EB13 update zip floating around? Sorry, I am a little confused.

are you sure you don't have usb debugging on?

I tried the update.zip and I get the E:signature verification failed. Installation aborted message. Oh well, thanks though.
Looks like I'm stuck with this one for a while.

Does USB work in download mode? If so you can use ODIN, if not the ROM is not your problem.

USB does not work in download mode either... get some error messages from windows, USB not recognized and such.

reinstall your samsung drivers if that doesn't work you have a big problem.
edit. Try another computer as well

Your usb port may have gone bad. My first epic usb wouldnt do anything after having it for like 30 days so the sprint store just replaced it.

Ya. I tried that. But since i'm stuck on DK28, they won't look at it. The considered it "rooted" even though it isn't. And wouldn't take a look at it. They just gave it back to me.

What are you selecting to flash the zip? If you are doing it right, there should be no signature verification.
Also, after flashing the zip, you might download the ota, but it won't install until you put the stock recovery back, too.

I do not have clockworkmod. I suppose I should try that before.

Edit: Sorry, but I'm pretty much a complete idiot. Is it possible to get clockwork working without connection to a pc?

Most likely, the USB cord is the problem. If the computer tells you, the driver was successfully installed, then that's the least of ur problems. I had problems similar to what ur having (USB not recognized, doesn't recognize in Download mode, etc etc.) All I had to do was find a USB cord that worked correctly (the one that came with the phone is not reliable 100%) and all ur problems should be solved!

[Q] Stuck at AT&T Logo

Hey all,
My Atrix is rooted and has been running fine until as of late. While trying to reboot the device, it gets pass the Moto logo but hangs on the very lovely AT&T "Rethink Possible" logo. I don't think my situation is considered a 'soft brick' but I still tried norcal einstein's soft brick recovery in attempt to remedy my cause. Unfortunately, SuperOneClick can't even access the ADB shell for the soft brick recovery to work.
Does this sound like a SuperOneClick issue or an ADB Shell issue?
Anyone have any clues? Thanks in advance.

Anyone? After further troubleshooting, I have discovered that while plugged via usb to PC, I cannot access internal or external SD. Yikes.

have you try taking out the battery on the back and reset it that way?

Did you by chance freeze your launcher screen? Is this one of the deodexed rom's (like we have many)? Did you install a piece of software prior to this happening?

Only Stock rom. I did install ADW Launcher but that should be okay right? I'm about to just do a factory reset.
I am also more concern about getting SuperOneClick working. It just freezes on 'waiting for device'. I cannot access ADB to make any changes. I have the right drivers because the Motorola Portal pops when I plug the device via USB.
Thanks guys!

Definatly restore and see if that works

Okay, I just did a restore. It boots up fine. However, I stil cannot get SuperOneClick to recognize my device. I'm getting the infamous "waiting for device". I have Debuggin enabled and dismounted internal and external SDcard. Even when I don't have the device plugged in, SuperOneClick still freezes. I've tried 1.6.3 and 1.7.0 versions.
I'm running Win7 32Bit Enterprise and even tried on my XP Pro machine and still the same result. Yikes.
Thanks guys.

Thanks! I just tried that. I have 3 different cables and different usb ports. Could the problem be pointed back at SuperOneClick?? Even without the cable, it just 'waiting for device'. Not even an error message feedback.

I don't think so. It possible, but at this point I would just warranty it and try a new one.

Unroot if you used superoneclick. Atrix already has busybox and superoneclick installs it again. DG recommends adopt to root your Atrix

Help rooting my device(I have tried everyting)

Hi this is my first thread but I have been reading this site for some time. Here is my problem.
I have an stock EC05 rom epic 4G recently adquired and I have tried to root it for some time but every method I tried proves to be unsuccesful(I have tried nopc method and oneclickroot) both
Of them finished unsuccesful my biggest problem with the oneclick method is that my computer(and any) can't detect my device as an pendrive, just as an modem so I'm enable to acces anything from my phone when is connected by usb(have tried usb debbuging mode on and off but nothing) I have the drivers installed I'm my pc but they don't seem to connect whit my phone(have reinstalled them but not working, the same as before) so I don't have a clue of what's wrong or missing if someone could help whit anything I would thank it a lot.
If you need to know something else I'm. Cheking contantly the thread to refresh it the quicker I can.

Did you try using bonsai master unlocker?

Have u tried all the USB ports? Also if u are using the stock Samsung USB cable. Try a different one.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

Yup I have tried every usb port and a BB cable but nothing. Its the same whit the stock cable and no I never have read about the bonsai method I will try it.

Did you download the samsung drivers to your PC?
Sorry, I see you did that.
Keep trying different cables, it took me 3 to find the right one.

Did you let th drivers install the fist time you plugged it in?
Sent from my SPH-D700

Well in fact I think is not the cable because my computer is able to detect it but not as an usb mass storage when I plug it to my pc 3 drivers are loaded the cdma modem samsung usb modem and the theter one but no one is the android usb driver that I have seen in some videos and whit another android phones ohh and I have been trying to find the bonsai methhod but it seems that the thread have been deleted.

i had a very similar problem when rooting mine. do you have access to another os to try it on? when i was doing mine i had to do it on mac os . i was using the oneclick method but it took awhile as the newer models of the epic seem to hate windows 7......dunno why tho...lemme know how it goes and if its still not working i can send the exact programs i used.

well i have tried bonsai masterkey but no the same as the others I'm getting frustrated by this situation

You could also try rebooting your phone, computer, or both.

a great place for beginners to start at is theunlockr.com, if your not firmilliar with your phone and how the root process works they are great about holding your hand through the process and have some pretty good starting points for what roms to use so on and so forth...

Some of your wording is a little confusing, are you saying that you can't even get usb mass storage to work? (Meaning,are you able to transfer anything to your phone?)
If that's the case, then that honestly sounds like a faulty usb port on your phone and you might have to get it serviced.

and for the asking if i used debug mode yeah i tried in every form to connect it to the computer but the same. if some one could conduct me to a way to use odin i would be very greathful

Stuff you need and Odin instructions are in first post of link below. I would also read through thread if you run into any problems. If Odin shows "com 4,5 or 6" really any number it means it should be recognizing phone. That will show in left upper box on Odin program when u put phone in download mode and connect to PC.

Sir, if you can't transfer files to your phone, you need to go to a sprint store. It'll be free if you pay for TEP.
These are the exact same symptoms of my friend's phone. Can't mount SD to a computer, same drivers that end up installing, no one click or unlocker will work; but odin recognizes (and works). I'm having him come in to my store next week.

well it would be the best thing to do but I´m not able to do that because I´m not in the USA so it´s quite umprobable that I can do that i will try to use odin and see what happens thanks for your attention I appreciated

First thing I'd do is remove the ADB drivers. Install kies is the simplest way to have proper drivers. You must put this fw on by Odin so if your phone doesn't connect in download mode, that's your issue.
Connect Odin
Flash new fw
Flash rom
