i recently flashed my samsung captivate with i9000 froyo jp3 firmware, with the i9000 pda and csc with odin..everything was working fine except obviously sound bug and no home button, but i restarted it today and it wont get past the galaxy s screen and then goes black and randomly vibrates. was unable to enter download mode, im holding volume up and down together and then plug in usb but it wont go to download mode and just brings up battery charging screen, since this is only way to get to download mode to flash back since i cant boot up the device completely to run usb mass storage to run adb....any ideas or anything im doing wrong to get into download mode? or is my captivate now bricked? i was gonna try deleting user data but i dont want to enter recovery mode cause its running i9000 firmware so i wouldnt be able to select anything or is there another way that im not thinking of?
okay got it into download mode, since its i9000 firmware i had to hold down power+volume down to enter download mode.
also im running on jf6 rom and market doesnt seem to working all the time, and sometimes in the notification bar it pops up with random downloads from the market but they say download unsuccessful, but i never clicked any of them to start downloading, anyone have that happen to them before....this phone has been great but lately ive noticed alot of software problems with it especially from the android market, is this typical of the captivate or should i think about a warranty replacement?

Hello maxxis.
I actually run in to this all of the time. Odin *never* works the first time for me. It basically hangs and I have to screw with unplugging and plugging in my phone.
Do not take this as advice, this is what I have done and it works on my phone:
0) Make sure the 3 button combo gets you in to download mode. If not, stop, find a 3 button fix and make sure it works or make a jig: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841512
1) Start Odin. Wait for it to get ready.
2) Put your phone in download mode
3) Plug in your phone to a USB cable connected to the BACK of your MOTHERBOARD - no add-in cards, hubs, front ports or any other nonsense.
4) Try to flash with Odin. If it hangs, remove your phone, reboot and put back in download mode and try again. Do not unplug it if it is doing anything.
This usually works on my second or third try. Good luck!
You need to do a master clear. Or format the internel SD. Then flash vibrant rom.
Or try his post lol. I was too slow i guess
but i have captivate if i flash vibrant rom again it will not work correctly
**BEFORE READING------I was running the official 2.2 Froyo for the I9000M****
Ok so this morning i wanted to play music on my SGS, i clicked a song that i usually play and today it said something along the lines of "phone doesnt support this type of file" so i powered off/on and when i did half my apps were missing, i didnt have market, or even youtube. I only had my camera and internet and random applications.
I went to settings>Applications and everything was still installed, just not showing up. I powered off, took out battery/sim and replaced them, turned it back on, and was stuck on an infinite boot logo loop -_-.
I got into recovery and decided to format my phone and then reboot....which didnt help. After that i went searching for a fix with Odin but couldnt get it to work.
Odin froze on me...Bricking my phone(bringing it to the picture of the phone trying to connect to the PC)
I CANT enter recovery mode but I CAN get into download mode
I really need help since im not too advanced with android
All help is appreciated and i thank you guys in advanced
PLEASE help me out i really dont want to send it into repair for 2 weeks +
That makes 3 of us in the last day or so this has happened to , I went to the new bell 2.2 updates using kies and not long after this all happened. Now I have tried loading many different firmwares and I cant get away from the looping bootscreen.....this blows. I will never use kies again or bell firmwares
Official path would be a Samsung service centre .
Or flash to Eclair via Odin first if ok then upgrade to 2.2 .

I have a i9000m , I had Darkys Rom on it and it was running fine no signs of SD failure or anything but I was having trouble with my texting so I factory reset the phone. When I did that it went into an endless Galaxy S boot. So I got it into Download mode and tried to flash a JK4 Rom through Odin. It installed fine, but again endless boot. I read somewhere to try Eugenes Froyo 2.2 Rom and I installed that through Odin and my phone came back to life. Now I have some problems, I cannot get back into Download mode with 3 button combo, and big issue is that when I plug my USB in the phone shuts off immediately. Will not turn on at all with USB plugged in. I have USB debugging disabled. Whats happening? Can I possibly get back into download mode...is there anything I can do?

I have a Verizon Galaxy Tab 7-inch with WiFi and 3G running Android 2.2 (Froyo). I mistaking tried to flash the new Android 2.3.3 before realizing it was only for GSM phones. I followed all the instructions using Odin3 (1.7) and everything looked like it worked except it never rebooted and I never got it into the Recovery Mode. I was still able to get in Download Mode so I tried to find a compatible 2.2 ROM to flash. I flashed the Roto JME rom, it didn't reboot. I flashed P1000NUBJM2_P1000NUBJM2_P1000NUUBJM2_HOME and it didn't work. Odin3 seemed to install these, I always got PASS. Now my Tab is totally unresponsive. Odin3 acts like it's installing but I can't get the Download Mode screen anymore. How do I get it back to factory or some working system? I don't expect to save anything I've loaded, I just want it to work again. HELP. Thanks.
P.S. If I can't fix this, who do I take it to to re-install the system? I got it from Verizon.
Can you get it into recovery mode? (Turn off, then Power + Volume UP)
No success
No, nothing I do will show anything on the display. I can't get into Recovery Mode or Download Mode. However, when I'm hooked to the computer and press the correct buttons to turn on/off or Download Mode, I hear the computer beep indicating it sees the USB and the yellow COM widget in Odin3 lights up and says it's up and in Download Mode. I can then flash it and it says PASS. I also just tried Heimdall and it also seemed to successfully flash the original Verizon SCH-I800_VZM firmware. Nothing displays when I try to go into Recovery Mode. I don't even see the picture of the battery when I plug it into the wall. Have I somehow trashed by screen?
Hi ! I got the same problem and now my Tab totally bricked...
Samsung just needs to give us the files and software to load these tabs back to stock! That would end the return issue for the carriers and let us unbrick them. Like any other device, there is a way to fix it without having to send it back.

Hey everybody,
Ok so I got this captivate....rooted using super-one-click...used a file explorer to replace 3e with 2e recovery....and even used odin for a thing or two...successfully flashed cognition...thought I was hot stuff...flashed fasty rom...phone never made it past first boot. Stuck at ATT Boot screen...can't get into download mode or recovery mode no matter what combo of buttons I use or when I take out and put in the battery...kies won't recognize my device because it technically hasnt booted...same thing with odin...no download mode. The phone isn't even bricked....does anyone know of anything that might help that I havent tried?
you have tried taking the battery out, putting it back in, holding both volume buttons while the phone is still off, and plugging the phone into the pc with the volume buttons still held right?
Captivate Stuck After Flashing Fasty
yes but I just downloaded the sdk....was messing around with the ADB...I don't know exactly what I did....got the phone to download mode 1 time... odin wasn't up so I've been trying to do it again with no luck...adb reboot-bootloader? adb usb? Does anyone know what they are doing on the SDK?
