OK so I read the first 32 pages of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7924712#post7924712
and felt confident I could successfully flash the stock ROM, used method two to enter download mode, Odin flashed the ROM the phone shutdown ODIN registered complete. Now the phone will not power on to any state nor will it respond to being plugged into to the wall charger. I assume it is Bricked I have not seen anyone else refer to a completely Bricked phone. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas restoring it.
pull the battery for a few min, put it back in and try that
supposedly these phones are not supposed to brick. I would try and boot it without any cables or batteries in it just off the USB cable for power... did you make sure you pulled your sim card before you tried flashing?

well I hope they can not be bricked but this captivate is acting very brickish, thanks for the USB cable tip no dice though, and yes both the sim and SD card were removed thanks
I've had the best experience getting into download mode by:
1. remove sim and sd card
2. open odin
3. insert usb into PC only
4. hold vol. up and down simultaneously
5. insert usb into phone
phone will enter download mode, odin should recognize the device and show a COM connection (this is of course if you have the drivers installed first). Oh and I've noticed that the phone won't go into MTP mode if you are using the launcher pro - you need to switch back to twlauncher before connecting to odin.
when you opened odin the first time, what files did you try to flash? did you check any other boxes in odin?

Yeah, absolutely no luck getting to download mode using that or any other of the various routes. but just to be clear at this point the phone is completely dead I have no screen or response to USB. as far as Odin this was a one click package to revert to stock found at this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...12#post7924712
their are no boxes to check like standard Odin, here is a screenshot so you know what I am talking about. Apparently most people in the thread have had great success with the current process I am trying to discover what I did incorrectly to create this problem but I am at a loss right know
Move your post to the Odin section and someone there can help you. This is not the first post I've seen about a bricked phone. Those guys try to brick em and can't.

Don't sweat it I'm a noob too.

It workes, Odin is picky though, you need the drivers listed there and you may need to install and uninstall them a few times before they work correctly. Also follow each step in the order it is written, Odin is picky (I need to say it again). Plenty of people have been in your shoes and they got them to go into download mode so go there and post your question.
Good Luck.

Well I got to admit I think I have bricked the unbrickable phone after rereading through the entire thread (my question was posted their the same time I posted here didn't realize that was the thread you were talking about). the few people who had the Black screen of death like myself either found that holding the up volume key and power would get the phone to a text screen and then they could get to the download screen. I have followed these directions Ad nauseam but nothing happens with my phone at all. well at worst I will have proven it can be done how inauspicious
I did the same thing and no one seemed to register that it would do nothing. It never got far enough to allow the pc to even recognize it had a device plugged in, therefor Odin never saw it. Some kind of strange filter in thier heads. All I could do was hit the power and volume up button to get some cryptic hex addresses and IRQ's. No matter how much I tried to power on, remove cards and batteries (overnight mind you) power did nothing. One thing I didnt try that a poster here sais was to plug in after you hit the volume buttons and power but I had to return mine.

I honestly wish I could even get that cryptic message on my screen but I get absolutely nothing looks like I will be buying a new phone oh well thanks for the input.
I have a Samsung Captivate and was able to sim unlock nd then root everything was running great, but because i wanted to change the rom and get rid of the AT&T bloatware I decided to install SRE rom from this site but first i had to install rom manager from the market, & install Clockwork Mod which i did so far so good. I go ahead watch the video follow it step by step except i didn't wipe data then install rom. So i decided to kinda start over i booted into recovery wiped data then attempted to install SRE rom again and that's when all hell broke loose phone freezing up on the home screen, not completing its boot process, rebooting by itself, i tried removing Sim card, Microsd, but still not allowing me to reboot into recovery with the key combo or ne other way for that matter. I then tried odin one click to reinstall factory everything but no luck. Sorry for the long story just trying to put it all out there. O yeah i'm a newb incase you couldn't tell. I don't have insurance to try to return to at&t. Thank you in advance for any and all help you may provide.

try getting your phone into download mode. If you can do that then use odin to flash everything to stock.
Are you able to get adb to access the phone? You can access recovery from there with the following command:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Also, are you getting into download mode when trying Odin 1-click? I've found a pretty fool-proof method pull battery/SIM/SD, putting the battery in, holding down the two volume buttons and then plugging in the USB. Works every time for me, and is easier than it sounds.
I was stuck on a boot loop the other night and that process got me into download mode so I could flash with Odin and then restore my backup.
Worst comes to worst, just bring it to AT&T and say it randomly did that. If it's only two days old, and you're under contract (didn't buy it outright) you don't need insurance. I don't even think insurance is available for this phone.
take out the battery, plug in the usb, put the battery back in, hold both volume buttons down, then hold the power button down... the grey/green battery icon will flash to a black screen, as soon as it flashes to the black screen the second time, let the power button go, and download mode should be there.
@rrrrrramos i do not have a contract with them. I obtained this phone through a friend that does have insurance for the handset. Since my computer does not recognize it i am not able to adb.
@magnumrt62 & rrrrramos I have tried these button, usb combos and nothing. I appreciate all the responses i will con't to try and seek psychiatric help...lol.
How would i know i am in dl mode? All it does when i let go of the power button after the second blk screen is nothing but show green battery nd con't to charge then goes to black screen. Computer doesn't recognize it.
Are you using the SRE with voodoo in it, if so that is not playing nice with ROM Manager, it is a known issue that Clockwork Mod dosen't recognize ext4. Sounds like that may be the issue. read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784170
It sound like that is the problem.
I am unable to mount/unmount the internal/external sd cards because the phone freezes and does not allow for this. The few times i was able to get odin to recognize phone com3 i hit masterclear left it alone and 6hrs later it had done nothing. I can't even get into recovery mode. I am about to see if this beautiful phone will fly then bounce... O how a grown man wants to cry over his phone... LMAO... Can ne 1 close to orlando, kissimme, poincianna help a fellow Captivate lover out i got beer money, gas money, i'll drive too you. hell i'll even cook a new york strip or two.. HELP ME PLEASE..
To do master clear your have to be in usb debug mode and at the home screen. Fire up odin then plug the phone in odin will see the phone and then hit master clear. It will then wipe the phone
Sent from my Samsung Captivate w/Voodoo using XDA App
Thats where the phone freezes up at on the home screen and just stays stuck there. The last time I was able to get into the phone i switched on usb debugging but still nothing. I just booted up the phone and heard the sweet bing sound but still doesn't show up.. I really appreciate every1 taking time out to try to help me.. Just wanted to put that out there..
So am i one of the unfortunate souls to have "BRICKED" his phone. I will not give up yet.. As long as i see the sweet "S" i will not give up..
I don't think you bricked it. Something is going on with your drivers, if the computer won't recognize it. Obviously your phone has been able to boot into recovery before if you had ClockworkMod on it. Did you get into Recovery using the key combo?
I have not been able to get into recovery using any key combo. Right know i am actually in Android System Recovery by using adb reboot recovery and a lil luck and speed. It is recognized by odin3 0:[com3] but it will not do any thing. I clicked master clear and it states master clear started but that was 53 minutes ago.
You need to use the odin from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 as it is made to specifically use with the captivate. It also includes the jf6 kernael which is critical. I used method 3 for the I-9000 because SRE 1.3 put that kernel on the phone and screwed it up big time, it has different hardware assignments. When you put the battery in, hold volume up and down and plug in the usb, no sim, no external sd when doing this. No other version of odin worded for me, just this one. You can't do a master clear until you are fully booted, I don't care what anyone says, it will never work, besides, you don't need to. You need to hit the "Start" button in odin when it show that you're connected. It will reflash you phone with the proper rom and kernel.
Don't download anything else from there but the odin file, you have the drivers already and don't need the other kernels (what got you here to begin with ). just that version of odin that already has what you need.
Good luck man!

It's great that you can get into recovery mode through adb because that means you can get into download mode: adb reboot download. Then you can flash back to stock with odin.
Also forget about recovery. That's not going to help you right now. You need to be in download mode to use Odin
I'm going to give that a shot when i get home. Why didn't I think about adb reboot download wow guess you can tell i'm a real NEWB.. Thanks i'll let u know how it works out for me..

What is it that you don't understand. Master clear only works when you are at the home screen. You can't evoke it from download mode or recovery. You have to have your phone recognized by odin when you are at your home screen and then you can hit master clear. That is the only way that it will work.
It sounds like adb works so when you are at the home screen and you envoke adb reboot recovery it reboots the phone into recovery correct. If that is working then there should be no reason master clear won't work then. Boot the phone up normally and then run odin 1 click then plug the phone in if odin recognizes the phone then hit master clear and see what it does. It should work.
@ Everyone who suggested things for me to try THANK YOU. I finally got it with the adb reboot download. Didn't know i could do that. @Sparker366 I would envoke adb b4 it got to the home screen as soon as odin recognized it i would envoke commands, because the phone would freeze on me on the home screen Just didn't know about the "download" command. Thanks again every1...
Couldn't find a clear post on this just this issue, but may have missed it.
If it's going to work, about how long should I expect it to take?
It will take 2 minutes or less. Your phone wasn't in download mode was it?
I'm having the same problem. I wasnt in download mode. it stayed on download mode for one hour
Just to be clear: When using Odin3 One-Click to flash back to a stock ROM, you put your phone in download mode (1. Opening Odin, 2. turning off phone, 3. Holding the vol up/down keys, and plugging in USB cabl3 4. Press start on Odin3). You will see the yellow android ditch digger if you do it right. That's download mode.
For Master Clear, you open Odin3, mount your phone to the computer using the Select to copy files option in notification window (USB debugging must be on, USB cable connected), and then click Master Clear. You do not go into download mode for Master Clear.
If you see the Yellow ditch digger when trying to do Master Clear then nothing will happen. Unplug, remove battery, start over.

I found this to be close but not quite on the spot. At least not based on how I interpreted it.
What I had to do was:
Put in Debugging mode
Load Odin (You may need to try different ones to find one that offers Master Clear. I used the one that comes wiht the 1Click downloader to get back to stock
I plugged the phone into the USB cable
I clicked Master clear
The above is assuming that you have installed the Samsung drivers on your PC.
Root is not needed, I don't think. (I had it, but I don't think it was needed).

I'm having the same Issue ,, after the Odin flash STOCK KH3 I'm having display freezing on startup and on camera mode.. I'm trying to do a master clear .. but it stucks on Master Clear Started???!?!? How to solve this??
K so like an idiot i deleted framework-res, and now my phone turns on to a black screen. I've tried to reflash it with odin and odin 1 click, but it always gets stuck at "file analysis". I don't get why because I used odin 1 click to install froyo in the first place so I know it works.
Anyway, I have no idea what to do, as I can't get any files on or off my phone because ADP will always say the device is not connected.
if its stuck at file analysis keep fiddling until it goes past that for instance plug in into download mode with it open and then unplug and replug it in. just keep trying.
i've been trying for hours... rebooting.. reinstalling.. everything. it won't get past File Analysis...
Are you trying to use the odin 1click to flash back to jf6? That might work.

nope, still hangs at File Analysis
i have done the same and now back up i used an old odin to go back to original stock and then updated to froyo after. If you can use sdk adb reboot recovery and fromat your sd card then try odin again this worked for me
maybe try restarting computer. make sure you dont have anything adb related running. pull battery. start odin one click. put battery back in. hold vol-up and down at same time(just the vol. buttons no power) plug in usb from comp. to your phone while you still have the vol. buttons held. should be in download mode. click start.
and if you wanna try pushing a new framework, i guess you could try to boot into recovery and adb should see it then as debugging mode is auto on in recovery mode. let us know.

Are you using 64 bit Windows 7? I am and had a similar problem. On my original attempts to flash my phone with earlier versions of Cognition, I learned that if you don't disable the lagfix, you can have a problem. Assuming you used one I hope you disabled it. I also used odin 1-click at the time and it didn't work terribly well, mostly due to the voodoo lagfix ext4 filesystem.
Secondly, I've also found that it's best to go into download mode using the following method:
I do a battery pull, remove sim and sdcard (if you have one), put battery back in. Make sure your USB cable is plugged into a USB port on the motherboard, not one of those front USB ports (they sometimes don't get enough juice, you wouldn't want the device to disconnect in the middle of a flash). Hold volume up/down and plug in the USB cable. Odin one click should recognize the phone is hooked up to a COM port. At that point, you click the start button and it flashes. It should not take more than 1-2 minutes to flash. If Odin looks like it it is not working, rather it sits at Verifying or does not actually move at a brisk pace, it's not going to work. You can let it sit for hours and it will never flash. If this happens, do the battery pull and try again. My first time doing this was rather nerve wracking as i thought i bricked my phone. Had the screen with the phone/exclamation mark/computer and the computer did not detect my phone via USB. I've seen people who say reinstalling the Samsung drivers or rebooting the computer or switching USB ports might help as well.
Ever since i figured out the above, i've been able to flash my Captivate on Win 7 64bit without a hitch. Currently running the latest build of Cognition 2.2 and loving it.
I've done all of the above and Odin hangs on Verifying, ADB gives the same error message on every "ADB" command : "error: device offline: (while in recovery mode)
My computer/Odin does recognize that it's plugged in, but it won't mount and let me into the SD card or format it, etc.

Yes he should.
What did you do to fix it? Do tell.
10 bucks says he succeeded once he read the directions properly.
Reading is hard, that is why so few people do it.
Same exact thing happened to to me 2 days ago. All I did was:
1)take the battery and SIM card out, wait a few seconds,
2)run Odin3 on my PC and hookup the USB cable to the phone while still off
3) hold both Volume buttons down while phone is off and connected
3)at the same time, slide in the battery with 1 finger or have someone do it
4)keep volume keys held down as the battery is installed and my phone turned on straight into download mode
5) phone pops up in Odin3 and just click Start, flashed to stock JH6
I am 80% sure I wasn't holding the power button while holding the Vol keys. If that doesn't work above ^^^ hold all 3 buttons and it should go into download mode.
so.. I fubard framework.apk trying to get teh circle battery mod on my phone (it just hung forever and *poof* black screen o' nothing after I pulled the battery)
So.. I'm following the directions but windows keeps finding the phone as some type of crazy serial device and is asking for drivers ... so I'm fux0red methinks.
Any help is appreciated - but I think I did a real number on this thing.
Ok... these are the steps I've done.
Shutdown the device.
Pulled battery, Sim, SD Card.
Popped the battery back in.... didn't power it up.
Turned on Odin3
Popped the USB cable into the phone while holding both volume buttons.
I get the lil triangle.
... then I get a windows message stating "SERIAL GADGET" and the XP wizard comes up looking for drivers. It doesnt find anything of course.
So.. I rinse and repeat and it can't find the device.
So what am I missing o wise XDA folks?

Get the right drivers if you havent already and find the USB port that works. Post 8 above is very good. On my netbook, only one of the three usb ports works for the captivate, i've marked it since with a happy face.
Ok.. at home now on my Win7 machine - all is good in Odin restore land...
Except - I flash using the Odin 1 Click and still boot to a black screen.
I think because I had the Voodoo lagfix on it - it won't format correctly and load the rest of the ROM onto the SDCard
I am trying to flash a ROM, but I simply can't get ODIN to work properly. I've used ODIN 1-click and the other ODIN and both get stuck - the 1-Click gets stuck on file analysis and in other ODIN version got stuck on Initialization (two steps AFTER file analysis). It freezes either way... and YES, I did get the Com port assignment; all USB drivers are loaded/installed.
Needless to say, my phone now reboots with the stupid Phone + Triangle + Computer thing...
I can still get to Download Mode but I'm a bit confused as to where to go from here. Should I use a different computer or try a different method or what? Based on the research I've done, this should have just taken off and worked, no issues....
The phone was a bone stock flash (although rooted) and I was following the steps outlined in Connexion's video.
HELP!
Well, your first problem is you posted this in development instead of Q&A.
But in all seriousness, make sure you start the odin 1 click BEFORE connecting the phone. If you start it after it will get stuck in file analysis.
Hopefully this helps.
Same thing happened to me. I flash serendity and tried to update and odin was just stuck. But I did a reset with the three button fix...that seemed o work.

IIRC, It was open before starting plugging the phone in. Does it matter which ODIN I use?
You could try bay_wolf's AIO Captivate Toolbox thats linked in my signature.
Wrong section buddy! You'll get less flaming and more help in Q&A.
Have you opened Odin before putting the phone in Download? Also, this post by nbs11 might help you along a bit
Also, run odin as administrator.

Yeah, I do this along with a few other precautions: ensuring that I run 1-click as an administrator (right click, run as administrator), ensuring that the proper USB drivers are installed (the one from the 1-click thread).
If it doesn't work, try another USB port.
Sorry about the wrong area - I just panicked I think.
I just tried it again and this time it hung up on "Setup Connection".
Very odd.
I'm going to try it on my laptop and see what happens...
make sure you plug the usb cable into a usb port on the motherboard. front panel usb ports can play hell with odin.

Thanks again for the quick help/responses - I REALLY appreciate it.
Mods: Could you move this to the correct section?
THANKS!!

Seems to be - Right out of the box I'm impressed - It just has a rock solid feel to it.
I was also VERY impressed that I walked outside and opened Maps and was INSTANTLY locked onto GPS - Whereas this afternoon I tried the same thing on the stock JH7 2.1 and didn't get a lock EVER.
WOOTTTT!!!!!
One quick general question - I backed up using Ti-Ba before I flashed. My apps are restored, but all of my settings (email, background, icons, usernames/pass) seem to be missing. In Ti-Ba I used "Restore missing apps with data". It did restore the apps, but the details seem to be missing. Should I have used a different restore option (or can I use one now)?
THANKS AGAIN!!! I'll give some feedback tomorrow; for now, time for sleep.
