No rom on my captivate - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everyone, so yesterday i was trying to install CM7.1 but i forgot to put the new rom into the internal sd of the phone before beggining to flash, so i wipe the cache and everything and then i realized the next step was to install the new rom from the clockworkmod
so now i have no rom on it, i tried to flash it with odin, but odin doesn't recognize my phone but my phone can go to download mode, so i don't know what should i do
also my pc is recognizing my phone as a modem android device
please help me, what should i do?? thanks in advanced

Only thing I can think is driver issue. Did you format the SD card? how did you loose the ROM?

boot into recovery > mounts and storage > mount USB (plug in USB too)
copy rom to phone.
also you could go..... with phone plugged in (in download mode) go to windows control panel > Device Manager > [look for android device with yellow triangle] > right click it > update drivers > from internet.
now download mode will work.

I think there is an option inside of CWM to mount the SD card or the external SD. If you can do that, just plug into your computer, mount the SD, and load the ROM that way.

If there is no ROM that will not work... I have tried

files transfer in download mode and recovery mode?

I tried a new kernel, but forgot to put the flash file on the internal card first. Now my phone wont boot as there is no OS on my phone. I can't mount the USB as it keep saying something about can only mount usb in idle mode. And I cant seem to mount USB in recovery mode either. MTP keep failing in windows.
Only way is somehow to transfer that damn zip file by Odin or some other ways
Any help?
Reboot into recovery got mounts and storage and the last option is Mount USB storage select that plug your sgs in and everything should be fine

Have you tried to plug the cable to a different USB port? Sometimes it resolves the issue as it needs to install new drivers on that port.
No Mount USB

Yea, So working on something very close.
I formated my phone, and then wiped all the data on it after. My problem is I wiped the ROM that I was using at the time (otherwise I would boot back up and replace my deleted ROM using Android file transfer). I've also deleted the new ROM (and everything else) on the internal SD card that I was going to switch to. How can I force a ROM back onto my SD card? I can't boot back into the phone save for Recovery, and dowload screens so I can't enable the phone to "act as a usb device"
I have CWR 6.0.1, and can only boot into that program, and the Samsung Download screen.
I tried to go to mounts but only see system, cache and data. I can mount and unmount those (but they don't change anything. I also have a /sdcard option to mount, but i can't do anything with it, it doesn't switch back and forth between mount and unmount like the others do. I don't see a Mount USB option like you were talking about above.
I am using a VZW GNex (toro)
Macbook running snow lepord.
Go to samfirmware and dowload the 2.3.6 rom for the i9000 anf flash it with odin next install cwm recovery and its done

Is the operating system working normally? If yes, you can use option "connect as media storage" as it isn't enabled by default

Hi azar
Did you tried to transfer using ADB . in your case if you have a custom recovery installed its possible
google this "transfer file using adb from recovery mode"
Hope this helps..
found the solution with recovery mode :
in windows hardware manager : delete adb I9100
in recovery mode press "unmount" : this will reload the phone driver and give full access to internal memory and sdcard on windows explorer
in your windows manager you should now see a warning device called GT-I9100
this worked after I reinstalled drivers (not from kies)
This problems happens because windows detects a new device and downloads this "adb driver" ONLY in recovery mode. So this is not the samsung driver.

[Q] Galaxy S would not start

I have major problem with my phone, today when i was writing text message the phone just shut down. And after few minutes i have tried to power it on it comes to samsung galaxy s offical screen and to screen of kernel. What should i do? But i can go in download and recovery mode. But in recovery I just have update via .zip ,wipe cache, wipe data/factory..
Does someone have any advices about this?
Try the following, one by one and try to start your phone after each:
- Remove the battery, leave it for 20-30 seconds, put it back and try to start your phone.
- Try to remove an SD card if you have one. A bad SD can cause this problem sometimes.
- Do a factory reset from recovery.
- Reflash your ROM or flash another one. You can do that by going into recovery -> connect your phone to your PC with USB -> select "advanced" from the menu -> select "mount USB storage" (it's the last item in the list). Now you can access your phone's memory to upload a .zip and flash the ROM.
Be careful with the last one. I suggest flashing any of the stock ROM's.

Hi all
i went to install another custom rom and decided after flshing roms nearly every day i would do a complete clean install
and i stupidly formatted sd card from CWM recovery, now my phone will not boot.
I can still get into recovery and download mode but from recovery there is nothing to flash from,
no roms or kernels.
Will i have to flash a stock rom from PC odin and start again? I have read Dr Ketans guide but nowhere can i find
any instruction how to flash when my phone is not recognised. My Pc will not see any cards but odin can see the phone.
If im wrong can anybody point me in the right direction?
many thanks in advance
Go to mounts and storage in recovery and select "USB mass storage mode" (or something like that at the end of the list). Connect your phone to your PC, copy the zip, unmount from PC, unmount from recovery.
in recovery its " Mount USB storage"
Direct on PC
In that situation, as the phone does not work, except recovery or download mode, it's better to take the SD card out of the phone, put it on the PC and copy a ROM on it. Then put back the SD card to the phone, return to the recovery mode to flash the new ROM.

[Q] HELP Deleted internal in TWRP

This is the first time I've done this so I have NO idea how to fix it . I was just flashing a new rom
when I accidently checked off system in WIPE. Everything is gone obviously. Can someone please tell me what to do from here? I have no access to a computer till later today. Any help is appreciated thank you!
Update: internal storage is also deleted. The phone has nothing. No OS what so ever.
What do i do?
Thanks for any help
You deleted system or internal storage? If just system then reflash the rom. The zip should still be on your phone
your sdcard contents are still there, since sdcard "lives" in /data/media NOT in /system
proceed to flash whatever ROM+gapps you were going to install, wiping system is actually one of the steps many people do when doing a clean install
if internal storage is deleted you have 2 options
1. copy ROM and gaps on a USB flash drive , use a OTG cable to connect them, reboot into recovery , mount USB-OTG, you can install whatever zips you have on the flash drive
2. push the files to the sdcard from your computer using ADB push

TWRP Supports MTP connections. Plug the phone in via USB then go into "Mounts" and "enable MTP". Then just drag and drop the files into internal storage
