I think your problem has to do with not having all the drivers in your computer. What version of Windows are you running? 32 or 64 bits?
I have win7 32 and xp 32, same issue on both.
I have downloaded drivers from the links above
The phone is not presenting the right VID & PID to the system for ADB to see it, IE the phone is not in ADB debug mode, its in mass storage mode, or fastboot mode
If i hold down the call andpower button phone comes on in fastboot mode, PC see phone as fastboot, and I can flash the mini recovery image to the phone. phone then reboots.
If i hold volume down/call/power, phone comes on in recovery mode, ut has no recovery menu options except rebot, ans sayd i need to copy rectools to the phone with adb. phone is seen by computer as a mass storage device, of 0mb/unmounted. I cant format it from the pc, as its 0mb...
ADB will not see the phone as it sees a mass storage device with a pid of 6603, i think this is wrong for an adb device, can anone verify what vid/pid i should see in windows for ADB device?
In the meantime you could try to take out your memory card, put it in an external card reader, connect it to your computer and copy the rectools.tar.gz, update.zip and samsung.tar files to it.
Let us know how you do!
Well for that I would need to disassemble the phone, and use surface mount desoldering tools, the 'sdcard' card memory is part of the phone......
