Hello Everyone,
Captivate owner/user here, but had a question regarding a buddy's Epic. I have looked all over the forums, but have not found anyone else who has encountered this problem, so I apologize if this is a repeat thread. I believe my friend was running BakedSnack v1.6 with the DK28 modem. He went ahead and tried flashing ViperRom Trinity, and got stuck at the Samsung screen. I'm not familiar with flashing on this device, so I dont know the correct methods. I did however try to Odin his phone, and have failed to get my pc/odin to recognize his phone. I've tried every driver file I could find and nothing works. He has access to CWM so I hope it's not fully bricked. I figured his pc would recognize it, having has the drivers previously installed, but nothing. Any feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks.
Try a different cable and a different USB port on the computer. These phones can be picky with the cables.
You are not bricked if you can get to CWM.

Originally, we kept trying on my Captivate's cable to no luck. My pc would not even beep or see it. Then we tried another micro usb cable, and this time my pc saw it, but couldnt identify it, due to drivers im assuming. That was as close as I got unfortunately...

Tried that driver already, still no luck. At first i was thinking my pc wasn't installing the driver correctly until he installed it on his computer and had no luck as well. I installed it multiple times and uninstalled it, still never recognized the phone.
might want to install the android sdk, i actually remember having issues as well on my win7 pc until i did that. then look for adb in C:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools or that relative to where you install it.

In order to Odin the phone you MUST be in Download Mode. Turn the phone off the press the 1 key while pressing the Power key.
Appreciate the replies everyone. I did have the phone in download mode when trying to Odin but it failed to show the COM message indicating its been recognized. Download & CWM work & boot up, but the computers don't recognize the device and every driver I've tried installing has had no effect.

If no com on the screen your drivers not installed correctly, try unplugging and plugin the cable back in. Try different pc with WinXP if u can cuz Win7 is a real pain unless u doing the drivers right after windows installation. Hope this helps.

The same thing happens with my Epic and new roms...
To solve it, I pull the battery, replace the battery and boot with the Samsung "three finger salute"...
Just hold power+camera+volume down and it will boot direct to recovery. Just reboot from recovery and it should work OK.
Alright I am running cm9 and have been for weeks with no issues. I got the new galaxy s3 and installed the drivers on my pc to root it and all that. I want to change roms on my E4GT though so I go to plug it in and it charges but will not connect so I figured I had to reinstall the usb drivers for my e4gt so I did and still nothing. I am in no way a newb i have flashed tons of roms and I know I did not do anything wrong. I believe I am just missing a driver. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have the latest version of kies installed and the drivers straight from samsungs website.
Made a little progress but not much. I realized I didnt have usb debugging enabled so I enabled that but now when I plug it in it just says usb debugging enabled instead of asking if I want to mount as storage device I have tried rebooting phone and pc several times. I am running out of ideas.
Did you get the drivers by installing Samsung Kies?
I ran into a similar issue once. I removed all Samsung software with all devices disconnected, did a reboot, re-installed a new copy of Kies, and when I plugged in the device, I opened the notification and told it to skip searching Windows Update.
Also, make sure you are plugging it into a powered USB port, so one on the back of your computer. Sometimes laptops don;t provide enough power either. My girlfriend's OG Epic refused to flash on my MacBook Pro, but worked fine on a desktop.
Latest version of Samsung Kies: http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201105/20110512115717796/Kies_2.3.2.12054_20_1.exe
Thank you very much i will give it a try and report back.

Actually no i did not get the drivers by installing kies because I already had it i got the sprint sph d710 usb drivers. Should I uninstall those and just install kies?
Well this is a rediculus problem that I am having now.. I cant install kies because it is saying I am not connected to the internet and I clearly am as I am posting this on the same pc that I am trying to install on.. I have tried rebooting the pc that does nothing.
Alright I got kies to install but still the same thing when I plug the phone in it says usb debugging enabled i really have no idea what is going on.
have you tried different ports on your computer, also have you maybe tried a different computer. If not it could be phone issue I fried my usb board on mine. best bet to try that is to flash another rom if possible and see if it you can connect to computer

I have tried different ports but not a different comp. Ya I am gonna flash a new rom and see if that helps. How could I have fried the usb board though? I havent touched the phone in days since I got the gs3.
Yup Just flashed the new Super Nova rom and now everything is working again, thank you very much for all the help and if anyone hasnt checked out that rom yet they need to its awesome!
I bought a Korean Note II (SHV-E250S) and my computer wasn't able to recognize it from the get-go. Now, I installed a rom that caused my phone to be stuck at the first screen and I can't connect my phone in download mode to restore it. I tried a different cord (supposedly OEM), reinstalling kies, downgrading kies, installing just Samsung USB drivers, uninstalling the unknown device driver, shutting down the computer, installing updates, reupdating kies, emergency software recovery/upgrade, switching USB ports, USB debugging on/off (when the phone still worked). I'm literally out of things to try. Any help will be appreciated.

No. Sorry. I made a back up in clockwork recovery but I get an error MD5 mismatch.
Device Descriptor Request Failed (Code 43)
The phone is now soft bricked and I get Device Descriptor Request Failed (Code 43 I sold it to someone with a T-Mobile rom and N7100 clockworkrecovery. They updated clockworkrecovery and now the phone just boots into recovery and then restarts. I cannot get the phone to connect to the computer at all. I get an error. I have tried talking with support but they tell me to try everything that I have already done, such as; different usb ports, cords, computers, had the usb port replaced, reinstalling software (all of them), and restarting download mode.
any development?
I have the same problem, device descriptor request failed.
Luckily, im not bricking the phone yet.
Nothing
I gave up on that phone. What have you tried?

Some search on google told me that we need to fix the usb pin.
Im not yet trying it. Im afraid it will cause another problem. So i leave the phone as it. Even though i cant do anything to update the phone. (Maybe i do have change to update the phone, but it will take a risk)
Try to fix your usb port pin.
On the phone? I had the pins on the USB port replaced and I bought a new USB port from China with no help. I also tried 5 different computers (both mac and pc) as well as different oem USB cords.

Here is my problem where I can't get my Sprint S3 connected to PC, I am half rooted, and have no custom recovery, I can't flash anything on my phone except OTAs, please help, any help is much much appreciated.
Background :
I had this phone working completely fine, I bought aftermarket USB cable and attached it to the PC, everything went smooth it got connected fine in MTP mode, on second day when I tried to connect it, it gave me error that USB Device Not Recognized.
Problem :
The phone is not getting connected to PC in any way, whether it is MTP, DM+Modem, PTP, ADB, etc... not even in download mode to flash it via Odin. No matter on which mode I am it always give me error that USB Device Not Recognized.
It sense when I change modes while it is connected to PC, like when I am on MTP and I click DM+Modem or I click USB Debugging, it displays that USB Device Not Recognized message again, so I it is sensing mode changes.
What I did so far :
Changed cable and used brand new Samsung Original cable, changed USB ports, changed 4-5 computers, installed and re-installed drivers numerous times, my friend who does the phone repairs changed Micro USB Slot on the phone 4 times with Original ones, he even took one from working phone and put in on this phone, no luck so far.
My inputs :
I've searched really a lot about this problem, but didn't find any single solution.
Some guys on forums reported that they solved problem by flashing a stock or custom rom as there might be a problem with Kernel.
I can't flash anything on my device since I am on stock recovery and half rooted, I had LJ7 rooted stock on my device, and I took MD4 OTA, now, my phone is half rooted, when I install any application which requires root, I get message that 'Superuser permission denied'.
I can't even uninstall Superuser, because it is system app, I tried to re-root phone via Motochopper method but it doesn't work.
I flashed this phone to different carrier, so, I am afraid I will loose my flash if I take latest 4.3 OTA.
PLEASE HELP IF YOU HAVE ANY SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM, I WANT MY PHONE TO GET CONNECTED TO PC ANYHOW.
I AM READY TO DO ANYTHING YOU SUGGEST TO RECOVER MY PHONE.

This is what I use and it works with all versions of Android that I have used..
Its a universal driver for most Android devices.. It has never failed me
https://www.dropbox.com/s/t6x8szvi4kjun6n/latest_usb_driver_windows.rar?dl=0
Install this driver in Your Device Manager.. First Uninstall the old or current one your using..
then install the driver.. it also works on my Windows 10 test machine...
Edit: You might want to disable Device Driver Signing.. In case the driver refuses to install.

I had exactly the same problem even after re-installing drivers etc nothing appeared to work. Prior to updating to Lollipop I did a factory reset (set up from new) and since then my PC has no problems seeing the Nexus 7. So as painful as it is you could always try a factory reset.
Sounds like you may have the wrong drivers in Windows.
The WUG toolkit has a script that you can follow that will walk you through manually removing all the drivers in Windows. That usually will get you straightened out.
