i would hate to say bricked but it might be!

hey i have samsung captivate i897, and just flashed the ultimate rom to try out, well tried to switch to different rom. When i went to flash back to stock using odin one click to jf6 firmware its stuck in download mode and wont finish. Phone will not boot just goes to black screen and will not go into recovery mode. I can get it to download mode, but it gets stuck at after the loading bar moves a tiny bit.
Ive tried it three times now with no luck, ive tried pulling sim and battery out for awhile and then try but download mode gets stuck when i try to flash firmware. Anybody got any ideas?
This is odin status messages i get:
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..

What is your build number, located under battery, mine its 1008
You can try this, keep battery our of your phone for a couple of minutes. Then try again. i have gotten stock st that point before. A couple of tried got me through

mine is 1006, why is the build number important?

It can be but I think your build should work with odin

There its more than one odin
Look through this thread hopfully it will help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775911

ok got to work finally, left battery and sim out for over ten mins and switched usb slots on my pc and now it worked. Its weird ive been using the same odin and been flashing roms with odin and clockwork since i got the phone last july and odin has never got stuck like that before. Had me worried for the past 2 hours, lol.

Same thing happened to me like 2 weeks ago

No, there is always a way out. Buy a jig

a JIG wont help you out of a hardware brick.... only a JTAG setup can... and those are pretty expensive.

Trying to flash back to stock

I'm trying to flash back to stock but can't get it to work.
I've tried using I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 to flash back but it sticks at sbl.bin and then the screen on my phone turns off.
I tried using Odin with the JH2 firmware but it just sits at modem.bin
I've flashed to JF6 before and it always worked but now i can't seem to get it to work. I have perception installed right now, not sure what version.
Any help would really be appreciated.

Is odin open before you plug your phone in?
What build is your phone
Is it still booting

it boots to the "phone...!...computer" icon

Can you still get into dl mode

Get into download mode by holding volume +/- and plugging in your USB cable.. DO NOT press power!
Once in download mode (you'll see a yellow triangle and the android guy shoveling) start up Odin and it should flash.
Goodluck!

Yeah i did that but it still wont flash.

<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/003> Sbl.bin
it just stays at sbl.bin
does it normally take a long time to process that file? When i used to do it, it would flash really quickly.

No that flashes almost immediately. Pull battery, leave out for ten minutes or so, try again.

Now it stopped at <ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
then the screen went blank

I had that happen to me as well. I ended up rebooting my computer and phone a few times and it ended up flashing.
Like mcord11758 said above, sbl.bin should flash almost immediately. The entire flashing processes shouldn't stall.

I finally got it to flash.
I reinstalled XP Pro on an older dell laptop and it finally worked!
Does anyone know why it works sometimes but not others?

Nope, you really do not need to flash stock to change roms. As you can see flashing stock has its risk

[Q] is there a way back?

Good Day All :
I started up with Odin so i could update the Tab, but the program closed down about 1-2 sec. after. When I tried to turn on the tablet, there was ... no reaction (!)
Tried to go in "download mode", but no reaction or by factory-reset. just black screen ...
i also tried "Recovery Code" (Hold the Vol Down Key + Vol Up Key + Power Key for 15 seconds then release) but its same no reaction.
Can it really be true that I have ended up with a piece of useless plastic?
Pls your help is vevry important
thanks

Do not panic.
Better connect to wall charger for an hour first; then try recovery mode (volume up + power).
Regards
Kongar

thanks for the reply.
it was in the wall charger for an 7 hour . i just try ... nothing happend ...

It sounds like you have stopped it in the middle of loading the bootloaders... That almost the only way to hard brick your tab...
If you can't get it recognised by ODIN then the only thing available is to JTag it. You need to send it in to someone who can do this - look around the general forum, there was someone there doing it - most phone repair places will say it needs motherboard replaced, expensive.
If its still in warranty, you might be able to send back to samsung, tell them it happened while flashing through Kies.... Don't tell them you flashed with ODIN.
Seems like a few people are doing this...
Good Luck...

ok, now after i update the PIT the GT is boteabel but its hange in the startup page GALAXY Tap.
Note : Every time i but the GT in the Dawnloading Mode and try to flash a rom i get faild in kernel stage.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S won't come on after flash

Hello All,
I tried flashing my phone (to I9000XXJVS)
I've only gotten to step 11, which flashes the phone.
In ODIN, I selected PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC. All 4 had files.
I selected the following options:
Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time
While flashing, I got the following messages
<ID:0/005> boot.bin
<ID:0/005> Sbl.bin
<ID:0/005> param.lfs
<ID:0/005> factoryfs.rfs
<ID:0/005> dbdata.rfs
<ID:0/005> cache.rfs
<ID:0/005> zImage
<ID:0/005> modem.bin
<ID:0/005> cache.rfs
<ID:0/005> dbdata.rfs
<ID:0/005> Completed..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
<ID:0/005> Removed!!
I switched off the phone and tried to turn it back on.
It won't come one at all. It's not showing anything.
It won't even go into recovery mode.
It won't go into download mode.
Pls help.

Take the battery out for 15 minutes and then replace and see if it powers back on.
If it still wont turn on or go into download mode using the key combination then try using a USB JIG.
What rom did you try flashing?

I'm trying to go to Gingerbread 2.3.5 I9000XXJVS.
I waited 15 mins. Still nothing.
Even when I put in the cable through USB, nothing shows up. Normally it shows that it's charging.
See screenshot of my ODIN configuration while flashing:

Try and plug your phone into the PC and then try the 3 button combo with the cable attached.

No difference. Still won't come on.
I hope the board is not fried.

Very strange...
I cant view the image you posted at the moment to see if files were put in the right places because im on works ancient internet browser but from what you wrote in the OP the flash appears to have gone ok...
Might be worth getting a JIG and trying that. If that doesnt work maybe its time for the unbrickable mod.
REALLY stupid question but you have flashed the right firmware for your device right?
I would give the JIG a try. You can buy one from ebay for like less than £5 GBP or you can throw one together youself.
Did the phone reboot fully after the flash before you turned it back off?

Yes, the flash went OK.
What do you mean by the right firmware? I got the firmware from samfirmware. I actually new to this.
And what's a JIG? How do I put one together?
The phone didn't reboot. The screen was blank but kinda slightly lighted. So I tried powering it up but it didn't so I removed the battery.

I got the JIG. I'll try to build one myself.
I'll let you know if it works.
One more thing: the battery was kinda low when I started this operation.
I'm thinking maybe the battery ran out.
But it's not even charging when I plug it in.

What i mean is do you have an i9000 and not an i9000M or another variant of the i9000 and have tried to flash a firmware from an i9000 onto an i9000M or i9000B for example.
I wish i could see that picture you posted to have a better look.
In the PDA box you should have had a file called PDA or CODE... The modem box should have had MODEM or PHONE... and then CSC should have had CSC...
There should have been a PIT file in the PIT box...
You should have had repartion ticked... auto reboot ticked and auto F reset ( ithink its called that ) ticked.
The update bootloader and other check boxes that are below the 3 i mentioned should all have been unticked.

I use a GT-i9003
in PDA i have CODE...
in PHONE i have MODEM...
in CSC i have GT...
in PIT i have a .pit file
I had all three boxes ticked (Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time)
All other checkboxes were unchecked.

It looks like you have flashed incompatible firmware onto your device.
You have flashed firmware for the i9000 which wont work on the i9003.
You have gone into the wrong section on Samfirmware.com. There is a seperate section for the i9003.
You can still try the JIG trick but im not sure if that will work either on your device as the hardware may be slightly different and require a different resistor value to force download mode but im not sure about that part...
It looks like you have flashed bootloaders onto your device that wasnt designed for it which could mean a hard brick.
Maybe the unbrickable mod will help you out.
Im not too sure how to help you from this point on im afraid if you cant get download mode working...
Have a good search through google and see if you can find any helpful information.
Other thing is to say you had an update for it and it broke your phone and try and play dumb and see what happens =/.
I hope you can get it sorted mate.

Stuck! Please help! Need to restore my phone urgently

Hello everyone!
I'm stuck in ultra power saving mode and I see no way through which I can get out of it. There are only a few options in the settings. I tried to dirty flash a stock ROM, but ODIN isn't detecting my phone in download mode. Please help me get out of it! Also, I'm not rooted

The error when I try to flash

Can you tell us more about what happened.
Odin must be recognising your phone at some point because the copy you have pasted above shows that it was added. Is the phone charging? Have you tried different cables?

Update it via Smart Switch.

Same problem. Put phone into Ultra Power Saving Mode. No setting to get out.
Rebooted phone. Stuck at Boot Logo.
SM-N9208 unrooted Stock firmware
Any help please.
Really don't want to loose data. (Times like this you wish it was on the SD Card)

In case anyone else has this issue in the future, I found a way to fix it without factory reset. Click on the app drawer, drag the Google app up to the top of the screen where it says "app info", click on "More" at the top right, uninstall updates. Once I did this, it took me back to the UPSM screen and I could then disable it.
It must be an issue with using Google Now Launcher so once you get rid of it, it forces the phone to recognize it is in UPSM.

Addictional info, guys: because of the pdpro there is a problem with upsm or com.emergencylancher. NEVER use backup option for auto disable via xml file! Yhe reson is there is a bug and when recover the disabled apps, emergencylauncher always turns disable! Just use manual disable! The second thing - The upsm is merget somewhere in the packages in 6.0.1. There is no more separate package! Plus in MM you cannot debbug and no way to backup your pics, music and files! Im still in searching for addictional info.
This case is with Touchwiz and Pdp, I cannot guarantee about Gnow launcher. Post your answers and opinions. When youre in such situation, the oy escape is root and abd or disabler for reenable all aps. Peace
