If you are having problems getting to download mode, Use the Stock Captivate Cable Only when trying to access Download mode!
Story:
I have struggled with 2 captivates now to get into download mode. I have read tons of arguments back and forth from people that say it is easy to get into download mode, and people who say that it is impossible with their phones.
Well, for some history...On my first captivate, I bricked it and it refused to go into download mode...PERIOD. I proceeded to exchange it(I was within my 30 days), and didn't think much more about it. Well, I installed Cognition 2.2 recently and in the process realized that my new phone would go into download mode just fine by doing the standard process of:
1)remove battery, sim, microsim
2)reinserting battery only
3)holding down both volume buttons
4)inserting usb cable
No problems right? Well, I ended up "bricking" my phone by accidentally deleting my framework-res.apk file(don't ask) and lo and behold, I suddenly could not get it to go back into download mode. I was really pissed at this point and spent all night trying everything all over again.
Well, I decided to give up for the night and go to bed. As I was laying in bed a thought crossed my mind. I had purchased a second usb cable(from ATT) to use with the captivate, and the one time that download mode had worked, I was using the standard captivate cable that came in the box. However, every time it wasn't working I was using my second USB cable. So I got up out of bed to try the stock cable and, lo and behold, it works flawlessly every time.
I would venture to guess that this is what the problem is with most everyone else that can not get their captivates to go into download mode. So, if you haven't tried it give it a shot. And certainly tell everyone you know to use the stock cable only.
I just want to reiterate that the spare cable that would NOT work was purchased from ATT and is the cable that they recommend you purchase as a spare. It wasn't like I got it from ebay or something.
Using a usb cable I got from ebay, monoprice, htc, motorola, and stock samsung cable, I was able to get into download mode everytime...
... also, shouldn't this be in general and not in development?
No USB Hubs or Extenders
RECOMMENDED: Use your stock USB cable that came with the phone.
IMPORTANT: Plug the USB cable into your computers native motherboard USB port (the back of your computer). Plugging the cable into USB switches, extenders or external ports, does not allow the phone to enter download mode correctly.

I can confirm, although i found this out a whilllllle ago, just didnt think much of it lol
Just so you know. I found that in some cases certain USB cables just will not work with some devices. This has to do with the quality of the cable. I would avoid overly thin or flat cables because they tend to be cheaply made and won't be able to provide a stable power flow. The shorter the cable the better.

The cable he/I bought from AT&T is shorter the the cable that comes in the box, and doesnt work, so im not sure if shorter is better

I can recreate this over and over again. The reason I put this here and not in general is because I, like many others, have struggled over and over with odin, and people had the attitude of "it works every time, you're just doing something wrong." The reality is that you're trying to prove that I'm just "doing something wrong" because all your cables work. I can recreate this over and over again. What do you want me to do, make a video of it in order for you to believe that there is an actual issue?
I think it's important for people to see this when trying all the roms and mods that are in the development section. In fact, I think it would be REALLY helpful if designgears would add this to the "how to get to download mode" section on the Odin thread. I can't tell you the amount of hours I have spent trying to get into download mode. It is incredibly frustrating to do everything right, and have others telling you that you are not doing it right.
I searched google endlessly looking for a solution to get into download mode, and no where did I see this as a possible solution. Also, as an FYI, when I plug in the other cable, it just goes straight to the battery screen no matter what I press. I can hold down the power and volume buttons to go into recovery mode, but it's impossible to get to download mode.
I have plugged mine into a usb port in the front of my computer as well as in my monitor. I have never had a problem with download mode or anything else.

While this is good to know...It is quite possible you got a faulty second cable, and some of the cables that do come in the box are faulty as well..
It's always a good reminder to try changing out cables if your having an issues. Same for downloading different things that work for a-lot of people and not for you/me..same too for hooking into the back of the computer and bypassing the external hub....Sometimes you get lucky and find the problem right away..sometimes you don't....It's called a process of elimination...
FWIW..I've never trusted cheap ass cables..in anything. Never have..Never will..but..JSYK..expensive cables go bad from time to time too
Thanks for the reminder

I've also noticed that, on my PC at least, my front case USB ports don't always reliably work with this procedure. I've been plugging the USB cable since into the USB ports on the motherboard.

The thing that throws me off is that this cable works for EVERYTHING else. Data transfer, media syncing, recovery mode, charging, etc... There was never anything that would indicate any issue with the cable. I just want to make sure everyone knows this, because when I was struggling to get into download mode, I didn't see anyone suggest that it could be the cable, even though the cable worked for everything else.
OP - thanks for posting this! It is at least another thing to keep in mind when troubleshooting. I was actually considering getting another cable to keep at work.....
P.S. would we get in trouble for quoting Michael Scott's favorite joke in response to post #6? Yea, I know. Little too obvious right. I'll restrain. Already made myself chuckle anyways

Um.. not true - Although I did use the stock USB Cable - I was flashing the night away (trying to recover my bricked phone) on my Win7 box using a USB hub that had a few other devices hooked into it.
Never had an issue getting to D/L mode.. and it found the phone again and again and again and again.... (go on for infinity).
I think it has more to do with the hardware your connecting it to and how the USB drivers loaded (i.e. XP=****e) and what type of OS your running more than anything. I had terrible luck with my work's XP rig... but my Win7 x64 rig found the device while in d/l mode - found the drivers?!?! and I was good to go.
Although - it is always a good rule of thumb IF you can't get the device to recognize on your computer to use the original cable and hook to the best source of power for your USB which is the back of your computer.
So.. this isn't a [FIX] - just a good tip. If you can't get into D/L mode by holding the volume button and jamming in the USB or using ADB -> Reboot Download command.. your pretty much fux0red.
I need original USB cable
I just wanted to throw in my $0.02 I needed to use the original USB cable and a port directly on my motherboard. The usb cable I bought from newegg does not work with my MSI X58 motherboard and my capitavate. The original cable does not work if I use a front usb port on my Antec P183 case. Strangly an identical usb cable from newegg that I ordered at the same time does work with my work computer, Dell X38 motherboard.
Ive had the same problem... only way i get it to download mode is via Terminal:
su
reboot download
I really cant get it to work no other way :s

I appreciate all your hard work on everything. I read through that post and tried to search it several times... Believe me, I spent hours pouring through the pages looking for something that would work.
No where did I see anyone say to make sure you were using the stock cable because other cables might not work? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...there are a lot of pages after all.
Furthermore...I'm sorry to be new to Android and to flashing roms, but we are all new at some point. No one is born an expert.
edit: I'm guessing you misunderstood the post? I wasn't posting about the method...just about the fact that many usb cables, including the micro usb cable that ATT sells, do not work for getting to download mode. If I'm wrong about what you were posting, feel free to correct me. If i'm correct, your post is quite ironic
The first captivate I had WOULD NOT GO INTO DOWNLOAD mode regardless of cable or usb port. I tried every port and every cable including the stock one that came with the phone.
The replacement captivate ALWAYS goes into download mode regardless of cable or port.
It's a tip and thank you for the. But if your phone is one of those that does not have 3 button recovery then it will likely not work with the 2 button download trick either.
Last week when I plugged my USB cable into my phone, it acted normal. The screen where it asks me if I want to connect USB came up, and I said yes. Everything was normal. It was baller.
Today, that doesn't happen. The screen doesn't come up and all the USB cable does is charge my phone, much like the wall plug does.
I've tried to install USB drivers, but they always require me to find "Android" in Device Manager, and it's never in there. The USB cable is doing nothing but charging my phone.
I managed to add a few mp3s over wifi, just to make sure that was actually working.
The phone is not rooted, (I was actually just going to try to do that) and everything is stock aside from a few apps.
I would really like some insight on this, please.
Do I need to get the phone replaced? Am I doing something wrong?
OK, I new to this, but thought I'd comment. If USB debugging is turned on, my seems to do that.
Settings -> Applications -> Developement -> USB Debugging

mine does exactly the same, but all i've done is manually update to 2.3.4 and my usb hasn't worked since, like you i've tried installing the drivers and that's done nothing and its also in usb debugging.

Put your phone into bootloader mode and try whether it detect or not?
And also, see if there is two line of words written
USB init start
USB init end ;-)

Try another usb cord, and especially if you're using the samsung cord.

Wow, you're right. My HTC cord worked. Thanks a lot.
I have had this happen on to me and have determined that a) the long cable that came with the NS4G is unreliable when used for USB connectivity with my PC. Shorter cables (even the shorter Samsung cable that came with my Epic) work consistently. I am guessing that this is a USB Bus power issue and some people will have better mileage than others using the stock cable, depending on their PC.
b) on a few occasions, it seems I've somehow borked the PC's USB controller and the PC wouldn't recongnize anything until I rebooted it.

I would like to flash my phone to factory using Samsung Simple downloader for NS4G.
Background, installed Ice Cream but didn't have radio.img so used an SU to downgrade back to 2.3, did that but no mobile network. Then the phone updated to 2.3.6 and now getting that error. Any help will be appreciated.
I searched a few times on this forum and on google.com no luck. tried to adding a recovery file manually and zip it as update.zip and install from bootloader no luck. (use file explorer and dropbox to get files on to phone).
Thanks

i had this issue a few months ago, turns out the usb port on the phone got defective so i could only charge it but not use the mass storage function, had to get it replaced under warranty! hope this isnt the issue with you guys

Was your phone rooted at any point before the issue? Not sure if they would fix it under warranty for me. I will call Samsung and see.
Thanks, I tried that but no luck. Still need to tried other cords. Also.
My phone developed this problem a couple days ago. I haven't done much to troubleshoot it...figured the port must be damaged.
(Not using the Samsung cable, btw)

It might be the port. I will have to get a samsung cable and try it, but i doubt it will help. Plus i can tell Samsung I tried everything. (I looked a ticket, but they said get a samsung cord, they don't trust the Palm Pre cord i am using).
I had to downgrade to the HTC Hero until i get the phone fixed.
It started recently. Doesn't happen while charging from a power bank... What could've went wrong?
Edit: I'm on AOSPA, but had this issue on HalogenOS as well

I'm using the stock charger. Now there's a new problem. The ghost touches are appearing even if I connect my speakers via the audio jack... I'm terrified.
ok I don't know for sure but i think the power outlet may have a grounding problem . the only way to find it out is to charge the phone at a different location , at office probably . Especially in India it happens a lot.
I faced this issue earlier and it was NOT related to earthing, charging or cables. I found out that the problem was with the ROM (first official CM13 nightly). To confirm, I flashed the OOS 3.0.2 and the problem was gone but when I returned to CM13, it reappeared. However, I wiped everything (except internal) and re-flashed the latest CM13. I am now not having any ghost touch issues.
Give it a try, it might help.
Well,
My Lepro 3 has a very very strange problem :
Everything started Monday : it was at 20% and he just switched off, and then did 0 sign of life for like 4 hours (it was charging, but no led, etc..). After those 4 hours, the red light started blinking but still. And after 1 hour, I was able to boot (he had 10%). I decided to reset the rom, however, there was no way to get the phone recognized by my computer. I then decided to go to sleep and to charge to 100% the phone. Of course, nothing changed. And i even realized something worst : it takes like 5-6 hours to get to 100%, and it was 1h30 before.
FURTHERMORE : my lepro 3 isnt recognized on any PC, and neither in fastboot mod.
PLUS :
- when switched off, he won't power ON if i plug him to usb/sector.
- when powered on, he will vibrate TWICE when plugged to usb/sector : charging for 1 sec, then not charging for one sec, and then charging (like if he was trying to fast-charge, fails, and then switched to low-speed-charging
- when switched off, i sometimes need to press power for 10sec+ to get him booting
- I tried different cables
- tried usb debugging on/off
I don't know what i can try.. the only way seems to reset it with adb-wireless by pushing him a new rom but well..
I think it is a problem with my USB-C port (lepro 3 side) and i guess it is not using fast charging anymore
However, my headphones (usb-c) still work
Thanks in advance...
PS : I forgot to mention that i am running with Cydras Google-like rom 0.20S

Well I don't really know how to change the rom with no USB access.. Dunno if adb wireless is safe
Moreover, since the phone doesn't power up when off and plugged.. I guess the rom has nothing linked with this.. But maybe i'm wrong ! Could it be the kernel ?

Yeah I tried..
It sounds like your usb card is fried.
I had this exact issue 2 months ago, I was lucky that the vendor exchanged it for a brand new phone.
It was probably fried by your usb cable. See if you can exchange the phone under warranty. Ask the vendor that you purchased it from, to honor the warranty, since contacting Leeco is difficult. Worst case, you will need to replace the USB card, its about $10.
VYeah, i guess it's the USB card... But there are two problems :
- its pretty Hard to disassemble a lepro 3
- i think that the original pro3 USB card comes with the vibrer, the speaker, and the microphone, and i didnt find any USB card with all of this on aliexpress...
He is no longer under warranty (15months vs 12)
Edit : another strange effect is that on cydras's ROM, the phone actually charges when powered on (but slow). On AICP 7.1.2, it juste says "plugged, not charging" when powered on

Hey tsongming i have read quite a lot of posts from you in the last few days before commenting, i already tried before hand everything you said to get my phone detected by my computer and it still dosent get detected:
- tried multiple computers
- multiple cables
- and just in case, different driver versions.
Tried it all except the EDL Amazon cable you recommended in another one of your posts.
I have read that if i can't get it detected then theres nothing i can do.. which would suck.
ATM i have google pixel, beforehand i had AICP which worked really horrible on battery issues and would sometimes crash it. I have been using stock cable for 2 years which as i've read it the past few days is a terrible a ideia, and stock charger but as you say and qualcomm, i also believe its ok.
At this time i believe the problem might be a burned USB Card or the Battery itself bugging out(?) but since it charges when turned off (e.g: charged for 8 hours in supercharge to 84% =S), im clueless.
Since you said that you had the same issue on one of your Leeco, anything else you can recommend for me to try?
P.S: its worth noticing, i can Fastboot, Recovery to TWRP and turn it on, if indeed bricked i would call it a soft brick i guess..

Hey tsongming i have read quite a lot of posts from you in the last few days before commenting, i already tried before hand everything you said to get my phone detected by my computer and it still dosent get detected:
- tried multiple computers
- multiple cables
- and just in case, different driver versions.
Tried it all except the EDL Amazon cable you recommended in another one of your posts.

If you can boot to Fastboot and Recovery, Then its not bricked. Your software is probably corrupted from a power spike or short. Its possible that your issue is just the USB card, which you can find for under $10, on Alibaba, Ebay and even Amazon.
Note that when you remove the screen do not use a Hairdryer to heat up the glue, there is way too much glue! You will need to briefly use a heat gun , and the screen will slide off with ease, the display and battery connectors are the lego type.. There are demonstration videos on Youtube.
Since you are removing the screen, you might as well replace the battery while your at it ( It should not cost more than $12)
If you want to buy a Backup LCD they are about $18 to $25 . ( definitely, recommend since there is a good chance of breaking the LCD, that you currently have)
If you order the screen, remove your LCD screen first to make sure that you order the correct one. They come with either black or yellow Flex cables ( not sure why) But if you have yellow obviously order yellow.
Make sure that the USB card is all inclusive and includes the chips, you are better off to spend a few dollars more for the better quality board. Sometimes the cheap ones come with missing chips for quick charge and CDLA ( Read the reviews)
Good Luck.
If you don't feel comfortable doing this, you can find Leeco Repair with a Google Search, or you can use TaoBao to get a "guaranteed fix", for really cheap. ( Even if its the motherboard ) They replace components and resolder) I doubt its the motherboard, but it's possible. In my case, I fried the motherboard and the phone still came on , but would not boot to system, also the screen was very pixelated.
Hi all,
Have just started to connect my device so i can pull the patched boot image for my thread and it won't see the computer, tried on several laptops and nothing, no adb, no fastboot.
It charges just fine but does not show the android usb system notification.
Really annoyed by this as i'm kind of stuck.
I'm on 7.7 but on a custom ROM / Evo X 5.9.1, doesn't look like anyone else has this issue besides me, have seen the odd user complaining about the same thing but haven't seen any fixes come up], if anyone has any ideas then i'd be grateful to get your two cents.
Will test MSM but it's not looking good, fearing a return to oneplus as i do have a good unit with none of the issues anyones ever listed like green screen and overheating problems.
It's usually me helping others but this time i need you guys help
Check USB cable / clean the Charging port? sometimes it helps.

Aye I've cleaned it up mate.
Tried different cables, I think EDL mode is working.
Means I could maybe return to OOS but it wouldn't let me back up..
Shame, I'm just downloading MSM now... Really annoyed..will give the usb socket another clean

Yea I'm dreading it being hardware. Never had this issue on OOS.
I think it may be Evo X but I don't know.
Bad luck I guess
Cheers anyway.
So MSM did indeed work, it's booting now, obviously couldn't back up any of the info on the device so i'm super annoyed at that but so long as usb connectivity works then i'll be happy with that.
USB Connectivity does NOT work now so i CAN connect to EDL mode but not normal usb conenctivity.
Anyone have any ideas???
Cannot root, install anything via ADB or even delete apps via ADB. Shocking problem to have man
I'm RMA'ing my phone, just getting it set up now.
Very painful process, they absolutely need the purchase order for warranty, things have changed with 1+
3-10 days apparently, used to be 5 when i've sent it in the past.
On connecting a USB hub i can read USB sticks and i can control my phone with an xbox pad??
Am i missing something? How is all this working yet i can't mount my phone?
Best bet, probably you broke the charging port. did you by any chance use like force usb charging like that?

I did use the force USB charging yes.. wishing I hadn't now..
I also connected to a usb-c to hub to connect a screen.
Issues kind of started after that.
Physically I haven't damaged it from movement. But could be from the forced charging
UPDATE:
Erm ok this is confusing???
I just connected my phone to a charger that is clearly not rated for it, in the hope it would shock the device, i then connected my phone and made a cup of tea, when i got back my phone showed me this (screenshot attached)
??? Lol what the hell? I've already booked my RMA lmfao
anyway, i shall keep an eye on it, i'll thoroughly test it and get it back up and running.
Strange, very strange.
