Help - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone is stuck on the Galaxy S screen. Its my fault. Instead of powering off to change to the backup battery I just took the battery out and when I tried to power back up it was stuck on the Galaxy S screen. I've really been searching to fix this and haven't been able to find a fix. I'm rooted and lag fixed and have third party applications. If you can help please do. I tried odin but my computer won't recognize my phone.

[Q] Touchscreen doesn't respond at all

Hi I tried using the search function but I think it's disabled at the moment. The screen on my friends droid always stops responding. And since it's locked theres no way to use the phone. Restarting the phone / a battery pull doesn't solve it. It just stays non responsive. The screen is still working sort of, I can see the battery charge moving and when texts are received they display at the top. But when I call her phone from mine the screen stays at the lock screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My friend is stressing over this so I'm trying to help her out.
Hi, I am having the same problem. I tried uninstalling some applications from a custom recovery, and even doing a factory reset didn't solve anything. I also tried booting without the SD card, without any luck. Actually I'm thinking about taking it to Motorola to have it repaired or replaced, cause I have no idea left about anything possible to try.

What were you doing before it bricked? ie. Were you flashing something, using it to hammer nails, or mixed it up for soap in the shower?

I wanted to install cm-9-20120804-NIGHTLY-captivatemtd on the device. Actual the installation was successful then when i was trying to restore my backup. it now stoped in d process of installing boot sector. after which remove the battery to start again. that was when it started showing that. actuall when i press power to on it doesn't respond but it only show the display when i plug my charger or usb to computer.
I had exactly the same problem. Use a program called one-click unbrick, that will get your phone back into download mode. After that you can use odin to restore stock. Watch out though, I was very happy when this all worked and I booted into stock only to find out that restarting the phone would brick my phone even worse than it was before. Now the computer wont even pick it up at all and it is stuck in a white at&t bootloop screen when I turn it on. When it is plugged in, all I get is a grey battery that isnt charging and it will not go into download mode. I don't know what I did wrong so I cant tell you how to prevent this problem so just be careful.
A jig would likely be your best option to force your phone in download mode.
If you haven't tried it already, try flashing a stock rom using Heimdall. I've had much better luck using that program than Odin with my own phone.

droy... The problem you're describing is exactly what happened to the first cappy I had, fortunately for me, I did it within a week of getting the phone.... I took it to an AT&T service center *aaack*, they were nice enough to tell me that there was nothing they could do and that I should be able to get it sent back in. Fortunately for me, it was right around the time when the 2.3.5 stock update came out and there were a few other people that were having somewhat similar problems. To try and fix it, I tried the jig, which I constructed myself only, ran the meter tests and found out that it didn't work after trying 3 different ones. I sent it back and got another, fortunately, I haven't ran into the issue again, so I think it may just be some kind of fault on the board given that I've never read of anyone else until now running into the problem
Thanks youall, gr8 help

i9003 huge problems

Hello I hope you could help me solve my problem, because I have been trying to find any solution more than two weeks with no results. My girlfriend asked me to take a look at her phone Samsung GT i9003 because all her apps started to act weird and she couldn't see her photos. So I checked it and as she said, suddenly all apps started to crash one by one and then the phone freezed. I wanted to do factory reset, but even the phone restarted, it didn't work and all apps were back. Even if I tryed to format SD card. They I tryed another method to factory reset through dialer. Same result. Phone restarted and nothing happened. I have even tryed to run it through Samsung Kies, which couldn't recognise the phone no matter what I did. Then I have read something about starting the phone to bootloader by holding power, volume up and home buttons. Didn't work. Have anyone got a clue what the hell is wrong with it? She can't write messages, make calls, anything because it is freezing all the time.
bump. anyone please?

My S3 mini wont turn on

Help my s3 mini is not turning on . because when im backuping my system using twrp it was at 80% and suddenly when im sliding to unlock the twrp it wont touch then i remove the battery and reinsert it and when i try to open it it's not opening , itried to charge but still not turning on . is my device deadboot or its a hardware problem ?
I'm sorry to tell you that it sounds like a hardware problem, were you restoring or backing up? (it's really important for me to know that)
If you were backing up, and then you removed the battery and phone suddenly decided to not boot anymore, I'm sorry, hardware problem. If you were restoring and after battery pull it refused booting, I hope you try flashing over Odin, but there's not much chance.
Hope you have luck!
tell me, perhaps i had the same problem, but when you charge it , does the screen turn on??

Stuck at no command error and freezing

Hey guys,
I have a problem with this phone. I got my relative's note 8 for trying to fix ( i'm not android expert ).
As she says, for no reason phone freezed and shuted down. After that charging problem started, and battery doesn't show real percentage.
After that i got the phone, and tried to go factory reset in recovery menu. Now phone stucks at samsung logo. Sometimes it stucks at blue screen with "no command" text.
Phone doesn't works all the time also. For example, somehow phone charged %100, after that i tried to open it, it stucked at samsung logo. I tried hard reset, screen off and no more screen. After 4-5 hours it worked again, but stuck at samsung screen again.
I send phone to trusted local repair shop. They couldn't managed to fix also, they reported me that it should be motherboard issue and they can't do anything about it. I don't know did they tried to install stock rom again.
I see no reason for motherboard issue. No water, no big damage or something else happened to phone. There should be a way to fix this and i seek your support here.

I would go with what the repair shop said personally. They certainly know a lot more than I do. Unfortunately things do just break even with no error for the owner themselves.
It is definitely worth trying to flash stock rom with Odin though.
