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.
Is there a way to root stock 2.2 that isn't unREVoked or z4root? I can't get unREVoked to work, just tells me to connect phone via usb and enable USB debugging. I have done this. Adb isn't working either, and z4root just sits at the screen for hours saying it's working. I just need a temp root for now, as I am having a usb problem where the phone reboots to 5 vibe whenever unplugged. I obviously want to get back to rooted, but just want to go one step at a time. Phone can read the SD, but my computer cannot recognize USB storage mode.
Is there a way to get this done?
Thanks,

Did you get the drivers for Windows and change USB connect to "charge only?" Not sure about how else to go about rooting to be honest.

i assume you are still able to charge your phone? do you have a custom rom installed? reinstall latest proper drivers. i would try a factory reset or a hard reset. if that does not work it may be a hardware issue.

Nope,no way.

I had this issue, had to RMA it.
Most likely, the device is still covered by manufacturer's waranty, use it!
Have done this and they changed the usb port on the phone but that didnt solve the problem, after, the guy at the cellstore said me that because i have changed the rom they cannot send it again to lg...

Indeed, unless you can go back to stock... Which is kinda hard without USB :|
Anyway to return stock without usb?
do you have 32 or 64bit Windows?
tried another usb port and maybe another cable if you ain't using the stock LG OEM USB cable.
if it don't wanna get detected on your pc try a friends pc or laptop see if that work.
32 & 64, osx , ubuntu all tried with different pc and cable.

that sounds weird then because last time i had this problem it was the cable i used on my own pc it didn't work here, but it did on my dad's laptop.
it was when i found out that the original lg oem usb cable couldn't charge my phone anymore, but data works fine.
I went to a cellphone reparation shop, they tested it and tell me that it must be an hardware or firmware issus with the phone...

I tried to use a volume fix by changing the values in some system files on my rooted G3, rebooted and got stuck at the LG Bootlogo. Been trying lots of things, finally used this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799647 but the flash tool fails at 14 seconds saying failure to enter download mode. I have a D851C on T-Mobile, it is in download mode when I run the program and no change occurs on the screen save for the text log at the bottom. Upon booting into DL mode, it says USER B94. After unplugging and plugging it back in to start the unroot it changes to USER S0.0 AS0.0 B94 UHS then on the next line S U LG-D851 04.4.2 Hrev_10 and the next D85110c. It takes a good 50 seconds for the flash tool to change from saying awaiting connection, and then at 14 seconds it looks like the photo. The names of the dll and tot I am using are, respectively:
LGD851_20140611_LGFLASHv160
LGD851AT-01-V10c-310-260-JUN-20-2014+0
Yes I have set the port to 41 in device manager.
What the heck is wrong?
Someone please help I was supposed to fly out of state today but now I don't think I can without a phone and I can't afford a new one, I'm a student
Did you put your phone in download mode? It's not broken you just need to successfully flash it. It says download mode failed so here's a simple way to enable it if you ate having trouble. Pull out the battery then hold volume down and put it back it and plug in the cable. This should be done in a relatively fast manner to enable it if you are having issues getting into download mode.
Edit I know you said you put it in DL mode but I had a similar issue with my F400S so its worth a try.

LG PC Suite didn't recognize it before, does it need to be in download mode when I do that? Or is there another recovery mode?

edit: my dl mode is working perfect. I see in your Flashtool, your error is slightly different. mine gets stuck at 93%. Then it reboots back to this

PC Suite won't recognize it if you don't use the correct version. The latest from LG's site is in fact the wrong version. You need the version that's about 223mb in size. Sorry, I'm not sure of the version and am currently busy fixing my phone with it, so can't check. Perhaps someone would kindly supply you with a download link.

Will it work even if my phone doesn't show up in explorer? My pc makes a sound when it is plugged in and unplugged in Download Mode but the only thing so far to recognize it is flash tool. If you can check the version please let me know but I'll look for it
Did you try a different USB port on your computer? Drivers get honked up easily using flashing tools and sometimes using a different port, or even a different USB cable can fix your problem. More likely another usb port, but I've also had a bad cable as well.

That's the problem is the only cable that works is the one that came with it, and I've used 3 of my 4 on my laptop, so I doubt it's the port

Also you have to realize the phone doesn't turn on. I get the LG logo, download mode, or factory reset. That's it
If that is the only cable that works - my guess is there's something probably wrong with the micro usb jack on your phone.. it shouldn't be that finicky where only 1 of 4 cables would work. If you do a warranty return, you might get lucky anyways. Several folks have posted on XDA that the stores where they returned phones were either clueless or didn't care about the status of the root code. Of course, YMMV.

You misunderstand: The cable that comes with the G3 is the only one GUARANTEED to work with these operations. Has nothing to do with the jack. Getting a new one in the mail tomorrow, can't tell if it's rooted if they can't access the filesystem
usb otg suddenly isn't working anymore on my G4. so i figured a factory reset could fix it but to no avail. my last resort is to use LGUP and flash v10c but the problem
now is that my computer (windows 10) and may laptop (windows 7) won't detect my G4. but when i connect my S3 it works just fine. is there any fix on these? already tried uninstalling and re-installing usb driver.
please help!

I have the same problem with my G4. It works before but suddenly not working anymore. I will guest it is the charging port of the phone is broken. It can charging the battery but cannot connect/transfer files with PC.
