Hi Guys.
I was turning on my captivate, and now when I turn it on, it does the AT&T screen, and Galaxy s Screen, and just gets stuck there, and then goes blank.
Help, please,

Probably not a development question.
What did you do to make it do that?
I was trying to flash a rom, and it was taking long and not working,
So I stooped it, and tried turning it back on, and now it won't work.

Use ODIN3 to reflash. And you should post problems in the ROM's thread, not start a new one. And do a lot more reading...
Sounds like a bad flash. Down load the Odin one click JF6 and falsh back to stock. Once the phone boots up, put into USB debugging mode, master clear, root and install CWM. From there just install the ROM you like by following the instructions of the Dev. Hope this helps!
That's the thing, the phone wont boot! It goes to the Galaxy s logo, then goes blank.

You don't get the S screen when you enter download mode. Do you even know how to enter recovery mode or download mode?

FYI-If a flash is taking a long time it usually means it is installing a LagFix option. Dont ever stop an install before it is complete. This will cause the phone to become inoperable until you Odin back to stock.
So, will you guys show me what to do?
I'm sorry I'm such a noob.

Have you read anything about how to flash a rom, or how to use ODIN3, or anything else for that matter?
I know how to use Odin3,
I just don't know how to use it now since my phone is is stuck.
Will someone tell me what to do?

Do this
1) GO to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 . Download I897UCJF6 - Odin3 One-Click Downloader:
http://www.thevod.org/misc/captivate...l-OCD-REV0.rar
2) Shutdown phone. Remove SIM and External SD Card.
3) Run the exe you just downloaded by Right clicking and then selecting "Run as administrator".
4) Put the phone in download mode. See instructions below
Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one
Insert the battery
Hold both Volume buttons (from i9000 just down, don't touch the power button)
Plug in the USB cable and continue holding both Volume buttons
5) Confirm that the phone is indeed in Download mode. You should see Yellow Triangle
6) Click Start
7) Wait for it to complete. You are now back to stock ROM.
Extra: Flashing to stock ROM will disable your ability to go to recovery/download mode using button combo. Please apply 3 button lagfix

What are you talking about? This is massively incorrect. You only lose your 3 buttons ability to enter recovery or download mode depending on your particular phone. i have always had it working, have flashed back to stock countless times, and have never either lost my 3 buttons ability or needed the "3 button fix".
Look under your battery. There is a # on the sticker, i believe beneath the serial #. It is 100x.
1006=fine, no probs.
1007=iffy, some good and some bad.
1008=3button fix REQUIRED almost every time......

I have 1008. I lose 3 button combo everytime I flash to stock. Anyway there is no harm in reapplying it so why not recommend it? I don't want the OP to lose the ability.

Although you are correct that the one-click doesn't kill the button combos on all phones, it does on most batch 1008 phones and maybe all newer phones. It's a good idea to point people to the flasher that you know won't disable the combos, particularly when the person you are trying to help is pretty clueless about how all this stuff works.

I used clockwork mod and formatted all of the options including system and etc etc
UnBrickable mod is easier then 3 button fixes or jigs.. Simply remove the battery, replace the battery, plug into USB, then click the "Download Mode" button. After that, use a Heimdall One-Click to flash software. There's no fooling around with timing or trying to get the order correct, or anything... it just goes into download mode every time.
Just thought I'd put that in here. I like UBM, it's great.
I did the same, you found the solution?
I followed the same "idiot" guide of how to flash it into recovery or back to the stock version.
Screen at & t appears and restarts again and again.
I can't enter in the download mode. I tried all the combinations of the 3 buttons and nothing.
You could find a solution? help please..

You have a few options and these options are as much as we can help you here.
1) Keep trying the button combos. It just might work one of these times. If you ever get it into download mode then try to flash it back to stock immediately.
2) Buy a Jig. They are available for cheap and will probably help you out. They force your phone into download mode and will allow you to flash it then.
3) Do the unbrickable mod. This involves sending your phone off for a few days, spending some cash, and having it worked on. It will come back in working order and there are even ways to have the person who worked on it flash a custom rom for you.
These are your options. And honestly, more than telling you the above, I dont think there is much more help we can offer here.

Hi Experts,
I have a Cappy and i love Continuum 5 ROM. I never miss any versions from beta2 to RC 3, everything is ok, but now when contimuum v5.1 was released. I tried to flash it but i got a big problem in that version. The first, i encountered Boot Loop issue while booting, but it's not the biggest problem, my cappy is still boot up to the home screen, and here everything was became very bad. My Cappy got lag and cant interact with return and it reboot automatic after that.
Now, when v5.1 was released, i believed it'll be fixed, but it's still exists. .
my cappy cant boot up to home screen. it repeats booting to continuum animation and restart forever.
can anybody give me a suggestion for turning my cappy back !!!!!!!! Please help
Did you have full battery? I made this mistake too... Be sure that you did everything correctly..

I would suspect you could simply use the 1-CLICK ODIN program to restore the phone then follow the steps carefully for 5.1 (which is a pretty awesome ROM btw)
I'm sure i charged full battery before flashing.

now i cant make the cappy go to download mode. please helppppp.

Your best bet is the jig. If that doesnt work then I would try and get a warrenty replacment. I went over the thread and it stated that if you get a bootloop you should boot into recovery and reflash the rom, did you do that?

right. i got a bootloop when flash to v5.2. i tried to flash the rom in recovery mode many times, but it's still exists. even i flash back to RC3. i got only the android text animation on the screen.
thus i have to flash to the stock by that way. and now i got a brick
I've had problems in the past with getting to download mode on the cappy. I did some googling trying to find a way, ended up finding a very good page on it:
http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode
I hope that helps.
Had the same problem with my cappy. The problem is that after all you did, you have one bootloader from i9000 and another from i897. The jig won`t help. I`ve found the people that recovered the phone with JTAG.
Hi, I have a SS/ATT Galaxy S. It was working fine. I made the mistake of running an update to change the ATT splash screen. The device boots to the ATT splash screens and stays there. You can hear the SS start up sounds as though the unit booted ok.
I've tried various Odins they all hang on file analysis. I've tried using different computers per the recommendations in the various threads. I've tried many of the one click and also separate file updaters. They all hang on file analysis.
I am able to use Droid explorer to view the device. I've also put a new update.zip on an sd card but nothing seems to change the splash screen.
I'm not sure how to tell what version the unit is currently on.
I can get to the 3 button state. It says Android System recovery <2e>.
I have the options to reboot, reinstall packages, delete all user data and delete cache data. I've tried each of them, no change.
I have tried to read many threads before bothering anyone. Your input would be appreciated.
Thanks
if you have the update.zip on your phone, in the root of your SD card.. then from 2eRecovery, select reinstall packages.. may have to do it twice. That will boot your phone into clockworkmod recovery.. and from there you should be able to mount storage- put a ROM on your device, flash and be good to go.
Reply to thread
Hi, Thanks for the fast response. I've tried update.zip on both an sd card and also via droid explorer, about 5 times. If I reboot, same thing, the ATT splash is there, and the Galaxy boot sound. I can get into recovery and droid explorer works. If I try Odin it hangs on file analysis. Anything else I can try? Thanks again.
Are you in dl mode when you try this, or recovery?
The phone is now bricked. I was in recovery mode as I saw the 3 button posts on holding the up/down and pwr. I just tried it with dl mode and odin3 and bricked it.(based on another forum's input to check repartition I think). Now it won't boot at all but I'm still able to get to dl mode but not sure what to run to fully recover.

If you can get to dl mode try using AIO Captivate to flash back to stock 2.1. I've had success as I flashed with the partition checked and had to go all the way back using ODIN contained in the AIO Captivate program. Found here

Yeah if you can get into download mode than you are not bricked. I would Odin or Heim back to JF6 and go from there. What happened when you tried reinstalling packages from 2e? I know you said everytime you reboot- but what did it say when selected reinstall packages?

Yeah, it was quite scary. I actually purchased some 100k resistors on Ebay but didn't need to make the jig.
Can you recommend a good set of f/w to load? Is it worth it to move to 2.3?

Of course it is worthed it to move to 2.3 I mean, it comes with so many more features and is running just perfect as a everyday rom. You shouldn't be disapointed

I had to make a jig when I soft bricked it. Not fun. Since then I purchased one and am glad I did.
Well, that means I won't have wasted my $2.00.
I saw this and thought it worth to try. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0aoabVtPJ8
In your footer, it says you're using mosaic.

Can you point me to the correct files/process? I guess I'm scared of screwing it up again. when I look on the forum there's almost too much info for a noob to choose which is best. Cheers...
Hi, I need some advice. I dropped my Galaxy S in a puddle. It was submerged for the just a second, but when I fished it out, the screen had gone 'weird', so I got the battery out as quickly as possible, then dried it out for a few days in the airing cupboard. I then tried it and it started up okay, then when I swiped to unlock the screen, it froze. since then I have been unable to boot the phone. It shows the Galaxy logo, then restarts and continues that loop.
I wondered if maybe the software has just been corrupted during its bath, so I thought i might try flashing a ROM onto it to see if that would recover. I found that I could not enter recovery mode but download mode opened okay. I have tried flashing a few ROMS using Odin. I am completely new to this and have never flashed my phone before, so steep learning curve. I have so far tried - I9000XWJW5 which I believe is normally used before installing Cyanogen mod. I also downloaded the T-Mobile Stock ROM and one with this filename - CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS. All of these successfully downloaded to the phone and I could see the progress bar on the phone. Unfortunately I still cannot get the phone into recovery mode.
So, whats your opinion? is my phone screwed? Is there anything else I can try which may help, like formatting or anything like that.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
try search for value pack 2.3.6 and flash it then root it after that I believe you should get the recovery option.

Can I do that without being able to get into recovery mode?
I've just been reading that I can use a PIT file to repartition during flashing. Is it worth trying? I noticed in the Value pack TAR file it does not have a PIT file. I got one downloaded from somewhere else called - s1_odin_20100512.pit worth a shot?
I tried including the pit file as well. Odin reported success but phone is still continuous boot loop and I cannot get recovery mode up. Do you think one of those USB things that get you into download mode would help? I'm beginning to think the internal SD is knackered, or something like that.
I think the memory is brocken but i don't realy know. Send it to Samsung for a check
