[Q] clockwork mod installed but formatted everything stuck no update.zip help plz

I looked through other similiar threads but they are for other phones so i wanted to start this thread to get unstuck with my samsung i897 with clockwork mod installed. I guess im good at learning things the hard way so here i am stuck at the mercy of you guys. this is what i figure i can do to get the update.zip i can put my sd card in a sd card reader then hook it up to my pc then manually copy update.zip to it to get access through the clockwork mod bios then point it to the freshly copied file but the prob is i dont have a usb sd card reader and i have ignorantly formatted everything on my phone so i can boot up only to the clockwork mod bios with nothing for it to work with so can any of you give me a laymens term step by step noobie style walkthru out of the kindness of your heart or pure boredom? thanks and i figue almost bricking my phone is a good way to learn this stuff So am i stuck having to get a sd card reader for my pc then download the update.zip or if there are alternatives to update.zip then id like to know but is this the only way to get me out of this situation of just having the clockwork bios and nothing else? if someone has a quickfix please let me know or point me to some solution please

Flash back to stock with ODIN that will fix your phone.... Why would u format?

Cuz i like to jump the gun before thinking alot of times thats why i learn the hard way most of the time it builds character also i learn stuff that i never wanted to learn but it helps me in the long run.

Carefull jumping the gun will land you with a hardbrick...

Ok I tried the [STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers CAPTIVATE ONLY
thread located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 and i did it step by step with the mentioned drivers installed and i cant get oden to reconize my phone im in download mode followed the directions to a t with nothin :/ do you have any other ideas?

Is your phone running CyanogenMod or MIUI?

its running the \update-cm-7.1.0-Captivate-signed.zip or it says this when it boots into the custom bios clockwork mod recovery v2.5.1.0 speedmod ulfk and the bios text is in green with the reboot system now options - apply sdcard:update.zip and -wipe data/factory reset and - wipe cach partition and install zip from sdcard and - backup and restore and - mounsts and storage and advanced clockworkmod feautures and - advanced speedmod ulk features and- ********go back******* etc and their subdirectories but thats all i can get because i guess thats all left on my phone . i can get the com recognition when i boot up to recovery mode but not when i boot into download mode which is what i need to be in obviously because i cant get odin to run all the way through in recovery mode it sticks and freezes and this is what i get <ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..

Then you need Nexus S drivers. I recommend you also download android SDK while your at it. FYI any AOSP (CyanogenMod, MIUI, etc) use Nexus S drivers.

Ok im trying to reinstall my driver for windows 7 nexus driver u mentioned btw my device is listed as gadget serial under devices and printers ok ive chosen 16_Shrewsbury and trying to update the gadget serial to the shrewsbury driver i keep getting select device - the folder you specified doesnt contain a compatible software driver for your device. if the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows for 32-bit systems and just to let you know the driver file name i downloaded is samsung_driver the one i was using before was SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86 so it seems i have a tricky aggravating device driver problem that is what makes all this hard in the first place trying to find needle in the haystack drivers when they should be outlined correctly instead of this. but anyway im hanging int their because i have a brick with nothing else so far. thanks agian for your patience in joining in my aggravatiion.

I really can't say. I just use SDK for that. =/ I've never installed any nexus S drivers, but I assume you can grab legit drivers from nexus site.

This is what im going to try now, im going to unistall and try to seek out all the drivers and do away with them i wish there was a samsung driver eliminator program so i can go through the trial and error correct driver thing which i shouldnt be going through because i had the correct drivers before enough to root my phone in the first place this is just crazy but i consistently run across these driver issues when dealing with windows so i should just accept this i how it is and keep plugging at it till i finally have a phone again well if anyone has a miracle answer for me then feel free to relieve my anxiety and bless me with just 1 time a simple fix lol. I guess if this was simple in the first place everyone would be doing it.

When i ran MIUI, the only time i had a driver problem was with adb. Rest if the t time, Samsung drivers worked fine. You could always use heimdall, on Ubuntu (google wubi installer)

im still stuck trying to get odin3 to reconize my device in download mode so i can one click fix my phone back to factory default , the trouble im facing is that i cant seem to get the correct driver ive tried so many different ones and im fighting windows 7 because it keeps putting i9000 or nexus drivers in automaticallly when i unplug the usb and reinsert in to initiate download mode. like i said in an earlier post i wish i had a proggie that could seek out the device drivers and annihilate them so i could start from scractch as yet im trying to find them myself manually and do away with them with not much luck.

Soft Brick Fix - Samsung Captivate
Another "Jump the gunner". That's me in a nutshell.
Here are the steps you will need to take in order to un-brick your phone.
(I have done this so many times, but I have never written a tutorial)
First off, it sounds like you have the wrong drivers installed for your phone. Most computers have more than one use port, and it will attempt to install the driver for the phone for every different port you plug it into. But lets fix the one that you have that's messed up already.
-With your phone in download mode, plug it into the USB port.
-Open control panel, system, then click on device manager in the left column of the window.
-At the bottom of the list you will see "Universal Serial Bus Controllers"
-Expand this list.
-Find the device that is supposed to be resembling your phone. If you don't know the name, you may be able to check by the windows clock for the green circle with the check mark in it, clicking this will tell you what "Ejectable" USB devices are connected.
-Right click the matching device name in the Device manager screen and then click uninstall.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Download the correct drivers:
Samsung USB Drivers
(go here, click software, USB driver should be first listing)
-Install the driver from where you downloaded it to.
-Plug in your phone while in download mode.
-Verify that the correct driver has been installed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Open your phone and remove the battery.
-Replace the battery and battery cover.
-Open any Odin one click from this thread (Recommend one with Gingerbread bootloaders)...
Odin One Clicks
-Boot phone into download mode
-Plug phone into USB (After Odin is open)
-When you see the yellow COM port lit up, flash.
That should do it!

followed your advice and im still stuck with every device driver i try it either says will not reconzie my device or that device cannot start etc. i refuse to give up so if you guys are on this journey with me thats kewl. ok instead of manually trying to install the driver i goto setup now and when i run it i get this message
Install driver - SAMSUNG Android USB Modem Software was not installed successfully (16) There is a driver installed for the device, please uninstall first.
So now im in device manager trying to find the correct driver to uninstall since its not listed under usb devices it only comes up as gadget serial under other devices. Im trying to get rid of the drivers but i seem to be stuck in a loop . i found this link http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/get-rid-of-old-device-drivers-hidden-in-vista/867 so im trying the advice here and seeing if i can remove the device and add the right one man i should just reformat my hd and put in linux or unix or any os besides windows then id probably be ok.

You don't have to reformat to do Linux. It will run via a live usb drive or a side-by-side installation.

ok i used the advice from http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/get-rid-of-old-device-drivers-hidden-in-vista/867 and showed hidden devices and removed all samsung drivers or anything remotely resembling samsung usb drivers including the gadget serial device and then reinstalled the supposedly correct drivers for my i897 atnt captivate or craptivate and it installed but gives me this error gadget serial control failed so now i suppose i have to find a driver that doesnt exist for a device that isnt correctly being identified by win 7 as a samsung galaxy s sgh-i897 antnt captivate. or does anyone know of a gadget serial control driver that will work so that odin3 will reconize my device so i can get some semblance of a cellphone back? no im trying the advice from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355666 with the title [SOLVED] Gadget Serial Issue - No Flash my problem is i have the same prob but require a flash.

Have you given heimdall a try? It uses different drivers than Odin.

I didnt have to use heimdal odin3 finally reconized my phone after following my previous post option and installing previous set of drivers for my phone not the newest seems u can save a brick after all but pain in the rear but now ive learned so im
ready to hack my phone to death lol btw if anyone else has this prob feel free to ask me fer help lol and thank you very much for all the help in this wonderful forum top notch support guys with this kind of diligence there is nothing u guys cant do )

Good Luck

[Q] no cwm recovery , Odin not finding device after ics rom flash fail

Hi all , i hope someone can help : i was installing team hacksungs ics rom last night it seemed to be going ok at first but then got stuck at the animated splash screen (1 hr 45 mins) i pulled the battery and when i tryed to get into cwm recovery the phone keeps just bootlooping after showing google logo , i can get into download mode but neither odin or heimdall can find my phone and windows reports unrecognised usb device,heimdall reports- ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12. I have unbranded i9000. All drivers present and usb cable(s) checked and are ok....thanks in advance for any help

I have the exact problem and situation
Is the phone bricked for good?

You might need the drivers listed in the TH ICS thread. Before changing the drivers try plugging your phone into a different USB port

You might want to try a different computer, the libusb errors are common and are usually solved by using a different computer (I have seen those errors while flashing IPhones, they were resolved after reformatting or using another computer[I'm not saying that that is the only way of dealing with libusb issues, I just didnt bother with em after I found out that a fresh start/system fixes em]). Also, if you are into linux, try a linux distro on your computer and see if Heimdall works from there.
Good Luck

guys i have had the same problem on this phone. To be honest I am not sure I wanna stay on ics anymore alone because of this issue. Nothing wrong the phone is great but the driver problem is flat out pathetic when **** hits the fan.
Here is how I solved my problem. I installed and uninstalled and restarted my PC so many many times. Stuck my USB cable into multiple ports. If that didn't solve my problem i Installed and uninstalled the Samsung drivers (without kies).
Played around with device manager when it said the phone is not recognized by uninstalling and removing phone from USB cable and replugging . I installed the android sdk USB drivers and tried upgrading the not properly installed drivers with them (which I think hasnt helped much to be honest) .
All in all what I am trying to say is......that I was so ambitious trying to get it to run that at the end i got it to work after many many tries. With many tries I mean I was trying this repetitive process from 3 am to 7:30 am and it DID NOT WORK. I went to bed. Next day I tried fixing it using repeating the whole process from 5 pm up to around 830 pm.
I dunno how I got it to run at the end. All I know is the time I invested trying to get it to run were nearly 10hours of repetitive installing and uninstalling. Sadly that is the only tip I can give you. It seems to me as though it just randomly feels like working out of its ass.
I even brushed the USB port of my phone with alcohol and a brush. As mentioned above trying another PC is worth a try. I tried my sister's laptop without success though and even formatted my desktop for the sake of it.
The last thing I recall doing before getting this phone to get recognized on my PC was as follows: I charged it for an hour and then booted the phone in download mode and decided to try it again. And bam it worked.
But do give this method a try.
1. Plug phone to PC
2. Uninstall your device(exclamation mark) via device manager and then unplug your phone
3. Uninstall sgs drivers
4. Reboot PC
5. Install sgs drivers
6. Plug phone in download mode in again
7. If you get error, device not installed properly then open device manager and uninstall the exclamation mark again
8. Unplug phone once uninstalled.
9. plug it in again
Also guys, just out of curiosity what is your OS and is it 32 or 64 bit?
Good luck
P.s: I know this post isn't helping specifically but I believe the only solution is playing around with the drivers and device manager until it decides to work. I might install another rom (Ive only experienced this with ics so far. And this seems to be a common issue apparently. Does this happen to people on 2.3.x as well ?) tomorrow cause this issue is too time consuming should it occur again. Only had it with nushor kernel though.

Hi vytman , install the drivers from here : w w w.multiupload.com/BUCFT8M42N
the drivers allow your comp to recognise your device(which is now nexus after ics install) then you can reflash stock samsung firmware in odin .

u can't get into recovery at all?

Galaxy TAB P1000 NOT Detecting in ODIN

Hello xda users,
I need HELP !
I have a galaxy tab P1000
currently froyo 2.2
wanted to upgrade to GB
Tried the Odin way from another link on this site (MANUAL updation for galaxy tab(p1000) into 2.3.3 gingerbread ), it failed and the Tab got soft bricked,
somehow managed to unbrick it, now its back to its original fw, but it keeps restarting in a loop until i switchd the damn thing off completely
I have tried to go in download mode to flash but odin doesnt recognise it , tried differnt computers too, no use.
I have gone in recovery mode, hard reset, wipe cache , still when i switch it on, it goes in a reboot loop.
tried to use heimdall. cant get sucess as i might not understand how to use it properly
Please help.
Sincere thanks to you if you can help me get my tab up and running., if not in GB atleast back in froyo.
(PS- i im not worried about my data , and i have not backed up the rom etc before doing any of these)

Try to reinstall or install a usb driver from samsung

tried that before , didnt work
anyway now i managed to get it detected on ODIN and flashed it to GB
Libon

Yeah, happened to me too, nearly had a sh*t my pants when Odin didn't recognise my Tab.
I would recommend -
charge the Tab fully using wall adapter (4 hrs+)
plug it in with Odin open and using USB cable
don't expect Odin to recognise the Tab immediately
check back after 5 mins or so (I don't know, does Odin refresh?)
I was able to restore my Tab from the PC - ! - Marvin screen.
I don't want to go back there again though!

yea dude.. same here
i kept it on charge for a couple of hours and then tried.. bam it conencts..

do u have samsung kies installed in your pc? if does, kill the kies process (Ctrl+Alt+Del). close, and open odin3, put your tab into download mode, and then plug it into usb port. try to change different ports.
i always had this problems.. if all if that didn't work, i'll format my pc

i also have a gt p1000 and odin3 doesnt detect the tab. i've been trying to root my tab for a while, tried odin and it doesnt detect, tried doomlord and it doesnt even get past the first step. i tried uninstalling kies on my windows 8 laptop and still no luck im not too sure what to do. is there something that i might be doing wrong because i follow all the info thati get from here.
is there another rooting app i can try that doesnt brick my device? and or is there an app that i can get that i am able to use a ps3 controller on my device that does not require a rooted device. please help

My Galaxy tab also doesn't connect to usb after cache wiped humber os flash
Thanks in advance guys!..
Earlier I was using Cyanogen mode 10 Custom ROM but has few issues like recognize SD card.
later I flashed to Humber OS caused real problem.
It was clock work recovery installed but my tab tab boots stays on screen humber OS.
It goes to recovery mode, and also to some unknown recovery mode.
Either the way not recognized by computer. I tried all options like heimtal an Odin. No help.
Friends any help, would be highly appreciated.

BUMP
Any solution to this given the fact that usb drivers have been installed?

Are you sure it is recognised by the computer before trying Odin or Heimdall?

4 Reasons Why Odin is Not Detecting Your Android Device:
Reason 1: No drivers installed for your phone
Most of the time Odin is not able to detect your phone, simply because you haven’t installed the drivers for your phone. Normally windows would automatically download the respective drivers for your phone from the internet and install it. But in case it isn’t able to do so, you need to download the drivers from your phone manufacturer’s website.
Reason 2: Inferior quality or damaged USB cable
Odin is very sensitive to low quality or damaged USB cables, which is a major reason why odin will detect your android phone in file transfer mode but fail to detect it in download mode. You might have a genuine USB cable that came with your Android phone but with time its quality will depreciate, which is why you might have to get a new USB cable.
Reason 3: Odin is corrupted
This happened once with a reader on my blog, we tried everything to solve his problem, but in the end using a different version of Odin worked out for him.
Reason 4: USB port is defective
Defective USB ports can also be a reason for Odin not detecting your Android phone. This was a problem faced by one of my readers and plugging the USB cable in another USB port worked out for him.
#######################################################################
and I need install cwm recovery on a twrp recovery and just do that with this app:
ROM Manager
if you want do same job; you can download it from google play easily!
and install recovery,rom or restore backup with it.

reason 1: my phone is samsung and it's detected by ODIN, kies and I transfer files from and to my computer without problems. also tried reinstalling just in case but nothing, so I guess this is not the answer for my problem
reason 2: tried with original cable, but as I didn't use the tablet for a long time I also thought it could be the cable, so I asked a friend of mine if he could lend me one cable, but that didn't work. pity. :/
reason 3: tried 3 different versions of ODIN, and in every version my phone (mentioned above) is detected. shame. :S
reason 4: tried the 3 different USB ports in my laptop. two 2.0 USB ports and one 3.0 USB port, so again I doubt this is the reason of my problem.
extra reason: ~~~ maybe it's the OS version ~~~ // this laptop came with windows 8 preinstalled. nothing. then, I updated to win 8.1. again nothing. now I'm running windows 10 and the same, nothing is detected neither by ODIN nor the computer. also tried in 4 different computers running win xp, win 7 and other with win 8.1.
btw, thank you anyway for your apportation; this may help other people, but unfortunately, it's not my case, so can anybody else join me to think about a new reason and a way to solve it? thank you very much :good: :highfive: :fingers-crossed:
~~~~~~~~~~~~ EDIT ~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have continued researching and found a software. it didn't work for me, but maybe it works for other people.
-first, you have to make sure you have java installed on your computer.
-second, extract the oneclick.rar file on an easy-access directory.
-third, put your tab on download mode (while charging icon when tab is turned off, press power + volume down until a yellow triangle appears).
-fourth, click start unsoft-brick and let the magic begin! 8)
note: if a warning error pops up, trust the software and click on resolution center and follow the instructions of one of the three "alternative ways".

How did you did it im having the same error???

i did the same thing with my tab exactly like yours plzzzz help me recover it

Going around in circles please help

Okay so i did something i shouldn't of.
After buying a T-mobile dell streak 7 online, i found out it had been rooted with clockwork recovery mod by dj steve v4.0.1.4. When i tried working with it i found out i couldn't use the phone functions of the tablet so i decided to do a factory reset in the settings. To my dismay the problem only got worse and now when the tablet boots up normally it asks me for a password that wasn't on there before. I read on a thread somewhere that this is because the device is trying to decrypt something but that it's because there's no OS on it. I can still boot up in recovery mode and perform all the options in there.
So i bought a usb cable for it hoping that i would be able to flash it back to factory settings, but now i am unable to get it to work with usb.
I have a win 7 64 bit and i have tried downloading divers from all kinds of places which seem to be the right ones but windows will not allow me to install them and insists that the best ones are installed.
I've downloaded android sdk tools and installed all the components that are pertinent to this version and make (at least i think)
I've tried downloading PDAnet, the pc sync tool that is available on the dell site and that didn't work either. Under fastboot mode on the tablet the driver is installed correctly but still appears as a unknow device and i don't see the fastboot window show up when i plug it in so...
I've literally read hundreds of threads to see if maybe i could do it by placing update.zip files on the sd card and then installing them under CWM, some have worked, some haven't but when i reboot it's still the same.
Please help!!!

You need to grab a NVFLash pack, put device in APX mode, install the APX drivers, and install a complete full restore.

Thank you so much for taking your time to help.
Ok so i downloaded NVFlash, that i have found to be able to put my device in APX mode i need to hold down the power button and the volume - button at the same time when booting up but that sends me to fastboot. Is this the same as APX ? Sorry i don't know much about this.
Also when you say install the APX drivers, i have not been able to find these, could you send me a link ?

I don't mean to be rude or mean, but this is a question that has been answered a hundred times here, please look around and read a bit, we are getting tired of holding baby hands.

Thanks for your imput

Hey! Thank you for answering. Please don't be too quick to pass judgement, I have read hundreds of threads and i have downloaded all kinds of different drivers, roms, and recovery images. I've followed all the instructions of the related posts but the Tablet's OS wont boot up. I cannot install any .pkg updates because any option i select when i boot it up holding down power and volume + buttons sends me to CWM recovery mod and all the update.zip roms that i have installed this way have made no difference.
I have come to the conclusion that i need to flash a recovery image from the computer but i cannot because all the drivers i have found for it have not worked. My device does not appear as a drive therefore i can't see it in nvflash or even windows for that matter. yesterday i called dell support to see if they had any drivers available that weren't already posted on their site but with no luck.
The reason i'm writing this is because i was hoping someone had a similar problem and could help me, i know you deal with people that don't even take the trouble to look into the other threads every day, but believe me i have.
If you can help i would greatly appreciate it, or point me to what i'm doing wrong Tks.

In NVflash or APX mode the S7 doesn't appear as a drive. With your S7 on plugged into your PC, you don't see it as a drive? This should work right out of the box. Although some have reported the manual mentioned Driver. Zip folder is missing.
If hold the Volume + and - button in a plug into your PC, do your hear a beep? If so, you would then go into the device manager, select the APX device and install the drivars from the NVflash download package.

Thank you so much, i was finally able to install the drivers in APX mode. Flashing it from here shouldn't be too much of a hassle. Very grateful for your help. Cheers

[SOLVED] Bricked GT-S5830 - USB device malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it?

Hi all,
my first post! I stupidly messed around with my recently obtained GT-s5830 (The shop says its and 830i but the device says it's an 830 - shoulda checked the bloody firmware!)
Stupidly I didn't follow good procedure even though I know better and just tried updating from .zip via SD with a new OS but can't remember which atm as the only copy is on the SD and I can't access that right now. This install caused a bootloop and i then tried to install cwm. But alas now my phone boots to black, my bootloader is blue screening and I can only get to the download screen. But Windows can't start the device. I had a BOS error before and now after lots of trying different things its saying "A device which does not exist was specified." in Device Manager.
Honestly I didn't think lots about it cause it's a cheapy phone and I thought I'd just flash it back to the original firmware (which I now can't source online) and it'd be fine, done this before right? But thinking about it, i couldn't see the device in Windows 10 before i flashed it, so I'm wondering if the USB connection is buggered anyway, and now I can't get to the SD or boot screen to use the SD. I can't remember if I definitely switched USB debugging back on before I flashed last.
I know I've been an idiot but can someone help please? I really want to try the new OSs for teh device and see if I can get a faster, lightweight device. But I just can't get windows 10 to see it!!! I've tried changing the power settings, manually updating the drivers with nearly any driver I can find, deleting upper and lower filters in regedit, creating an ignore on the bos descriptor in Regedit (not sure if it's done correctly though)....Please help!

Just to let people know in case they're looking for a fix - this registry key stops the error and I can now see my device in ODIN. Can't see it in adb or fastboot yet but getting there
