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!

You know that's the only thing that I haven't tried should I pick one up from T-Mobile or were should I get one?
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.

Earlier i was trying to flash a custom ROM and i accidentally deleted my whole OS... My problem is that every time i plug in my device it comes out as unrecognized. I have tried installing all the drivers from Nexus Tool Kit and i still get the unrecognized notice. I've tried plugging my device on three different computers and still nothing. I've tried just about everything i could read about in the posts but nothings worked yet. If anyone could please help me with this id really appreciate it!!!
I have an AT&T Note 3 SM-N900A. I Installed X-Note Rom on it a while ago, but I recently have been having problems charging the phone and was going to take it to an AT&T Device Support Center to fix it. I tried to install the stock firmware N900AUCBMI9 using Mobile Odin, only to see the a boot up screen that says "System Software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone . Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest AT&T store for help." I tried to get the phone to connect to Odin on my Windows PC, but the computer will only say USB Device not recognized, and it won't show up in Odin at all. The weird thing is that it says USB device not recognized even while the Note 3 is off. The phone also stays on while in Download Mode when connected to USB with no battery.
I was wondering if there's anything I can do to at least ensure that the people at AT&T can't power up the phone and see this message. I should have just left it on the custom rom, this looks way worse. I'd rather have a hard brick at this point, at least they wouldn't be able to see it was rooted and flashed. I really screwed this up, if I knew I'd be having issues I would have never rooted it. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks for your time.
Okay. Hi guys.
I'm having some horrible USB connection problems and I've no idea whether they are hardware/software. I'm leaning towards the former.
About a month ago I noticed while plugged into my charger, my phone wasn't charging. Wiggling the cable did little, if anything to help. But it only happened that one day, and after a few beeps and boops of connections coming and going, it had seemed to have fixed itself.
Yesterday I decided to upgrade from XtreStoLite KitKat to XtreStoLite Lollipop. I made a bit of a mess of it and accidentally wiped my entire OS/cache/data before even putting the ROM on the sdcard directory. Fortunately I had already upgraded the modem/bootloader and was able to sideload the ROM.
I say I was able to sideload the ROM successfully, but this is really where the issues started to resurface. The first dozen or so times I tried to sideload I got "ADB not recognized" errors in CMD. I tried all sorts of USB driver re-installations, and installing google USB drivers from the Android SDK etc and nothing was working. Lots of beeps and boops of drivers installing and USB connections being made. In a last ditch attempt, I went back to CMD and once again typed "sideload adb rom.exe" and by some random miracle it worked. But that was the LAST time. I tried again later and got the same error as previously.
Anyway... new ROM installed. I ran through the set-up process and plugged my phone in to transfer over the add-on pack so I could re-activate Samsung Kies connections in order to restore my apps/photos etc.
*B-beep-b-b-b-eep-boop-b-beep* The phone was wildly connecting and disconnecting. I unplug it, blow into the USB connector - try to see any bent pins, but can't see anything. After a few tries I get it to connect long enough for me to transfer the file. Kies reinstalled. Throughout this WHOLE process there has been FAR too many disconnects.
If I DO get my phone to connect - Kies is stuck eternally on "connecting". I have a feeling MTP mode is just broken - as NOTHING shows up in My Computer when in that mode. Odin 3.09 no longer sees my phone at all, and when I connect in Camera mode NONE of the .zip files I placed in the sdcard directory show in Windows at all. But they ARE there, as I can still install from .zip in recovery.
The phone seems to work fine. But I want to restore my Kies backup, add/remove the .zips in the main sdcard directory, and see my phone in Odin.
Please help me. I am scared.
hello I'm really hoping somebody can help me because I'm not getting answers anywhere I've halfway through a course to learn mobile tech repairs and I'm completely stuck on a Samsung SM g925a when trying to remove the FRP. I have written my class instructors and I'm not getting any response. I've downloaded all the drivers from Samsung I've updated them all but however it is not allowing me to connect the device to my PC so I can get it into odin to flash combination files. When I plug the device in to my windows 10 pc I receive a pop up saying the last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it and then in device manager when I open it it shows as unknown USB device device descriptor request failed. I tried to download the drivers again reinstalled and updated them and that didn't work. I changed all my cords tried it on every Cord I had and it didn't work, yet these cords recognized other devices I had. I also uninstalled the USB driver and then I ran the hardware troubleshooter still got nothing and then I also disabled fast startup none of this has worked. I also have spent countless hours researching on line and I'm just not getting any answers and I get the same troubleshooting ideas I've already tried however I did come across a program USB debugger r but I don't know if I had just downloaded it wrong or had the wrong firmware files but it wasn't working for me I thought maybe that would help me to connect to PC. I'm still learning and only halfway through the course but it seems like this is such an easy issue that I just can't seem to figure out is there anybody out there willing to help me figure this out please I'm sure something simple Im missing or forgetting but I've been dedicated to this phone and I sure can't figure it out it's stopping me right at the gate. Thanks in advance
