[Q] Epic Fully Bricked???

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.

All of a sudden phone will not connect to pc.

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

[Q] USB Device Not Recognized

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.

Please help. Phone wont connect to Computer. Ive tried everything

Hi Guys
I hope someone can help me I have a very strange problem. My galaxy note 2 is not detected by my computer at all (Not a driver issue, not seen at all) It charges fine.
Things I've tried so far are 3 different cables,
Two different Computers,
Reset phone to stock out of box state.
And the one that gets me the most is I even changed the whole USB board assembly. (I was sure it had to be a broken USB port
Still no joy.
The problem now is if I can't connect it to my computer I can't reroot through Odin.
Any Ideas?
Also is it possible to root phone again from stock without connecting USB to PC.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] USB not recognised

Can anyone help me please.....?
I recently updated my Note 4 to lollipop and since then my PC cannot recognise the phone.
I have tried a variety of USB cables.
I have also tried installing the drivers and kies several times.
I have also tried different PC's to resolve this issue.... still nothing.
The phone charges ok ... so no issues on the charging side.

Make sure usb debugging is on.
Have you tried putting the phone in download mode, starting odin then plugging the phone in and seeing if odin will recognize it? If that works then download the OB7 lollipop stock tar from the general section and flash it with odin.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

I've been through three Note 4's now - ever since Lollipop I cant mount USB in the OS or in recovery. It's absolutely insane. other Sammy phones are fine - I bring them back into the store and they can't mount anything either - so they give me a new phone.
This one came with Lollipop out of the box, so we activate it and plug it into their laptop. It sees the phone and you can see the device in Explorer. I drive home and some apps update on the way.
Get home - NONE OF MY PCs SEE THE ****ING PHONE!!!!
I'l going to have to kill something now - this makes ZERO sense. I know what I'm doing, I know all about drivers, USB debugging, blah blah. Still these Note 4s just plain won't mount USB. They charge fine but PCs don't see them.
I need to root the damn thing so I can get all my apps back on there but of course ODIN can't see a phone that won't mount.
Any advice? Been dealing with this for two weeks now... I can't find anybody else with a similar issue.
