Since i live in Brazil and here the galay s i9000 version is much different then our captivates and there is any place where i could try to fix my captivate i´ve decided to donate US$ 50,00 for who helps me fix my phone.
Here is exactly what happened:
I was already on cognition 2.3b6 but decided to flash back to stock and flash it again to 2.3b6 since i´ve never flashed back to stock and sincer i installed the firts custom room.
I installed the stock version usin odin 3 ( the files from cognition download threat ) and i didnt disabled lag-fix netheir deleted any folder or anything at all.
The installation to stock was succesful, then i used one click root installed the rom manager and selected the 2.3b6.zip
After rebooting it went to recovery screen as usual.. i selected the reinstall packages options and it reboot again, now it stuck some time on the at&t logo ( never had the voodoo voice ) ...and the rebooted again..
and here is the part where i know i was stupid
this time it entered on clockwork recovery mode then i tryed to backup and mount and it came back again to clockwork recovery mode... then i decided to wipe data and cache... then to format my sd card ( stupiedest point ! )..after i tryed to install packages again and after reboot it stayed like it is now
without the usb cable... if i turn it on it goes to at&t logo screen then it flashes on at&t logo... and then boot on recovery mode.
if i put the battery...plug the usb cable and try to turn it on.. the phone doesnt go to at&t logo.. it just stays on the charging mode.
i already tryed all download modes and none of them worked...
here is the list of things i´ve already ordered from sparkfun if i need to build that JIG thing...
1 - $10.95 - COM-09258 - Resistor Kit - 1/4W
1 - $3.95 - BOB-10031 - USB MicroB Plug Breakout Board
other info:
when i get on the at&t logo or recovery mode odin recognizes the phone as a com 4... so i cant flash it with odin...
and when i try to reboot on download mode using adb i receive an error msg " [1] segmentation fault " when i try to get the SU
any help ?
Can you still get to clockwork recovery?
If you can still get to cwm, download this http://www.ponack.net/designgears/JH7_OTA.zip and copy it to your external sd card, and try to flash it.
For download mode did you try:
1. Start odin
2. Remove battery from phone
3. Plug usb cable into phone
4. Hold down both volume buttons
5. Put battery back in while holding both volume buttons

If it's still on the internal sd card and you can get to recovery, choose the option "reinstall packages" it should do something and then it may kick you back to recovery 2e and then try one more time.

Search for instructions on building a jig. It is a device that forces download mode, you need a spare cable our connector to cut up and some resistors. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841512

so my only hope is tat jig thing ?!
if yes i will stay a while without my phone =/
Wait so what happens if you have odin one click open, then unplug usb, pull battery, then put the battery back in and then plug usb in while holding both volume buttons. That's usually the surefire way to get download mode.

No.. the Battery trick should work. If your getting the battery charging while the device is turned off and the USB is plugged in that battery trick should work.
I've horked my phone harder then you have an still managed to get back into download mode.
The trick is remove the sim/sdcard and battery.
Plug in the USB
Then jam the battery back in.
Also.. if it's looping at the ATT logo you might have it up enough to do ADB commands.
See if your computer is recognizing the device. - ADB Devices - If it returns a value then you can just do:
Adb reboot download.
And Odin 1-click as normal to restore it.

it keeps frozen on the charging circle ( the grey circle doesnt keep moving )
I'd try pulling the battery again - it takes a few times to try and get it.
But.. I would try doing the ADB commands and see if you can get it into download that way.

[Q] Stuck in AT&T Screen boot loop, can't get into either recovery or download mode
I went back to stock (or tried to) and after Odin was done the phone just stuck in the AT&T boot loop, download mode is not working (it was working before so I know I am doing the right combination/timing) doing endless combinations of Vol-/Vol+/Power doesn't seem to get me into recovery mode-
I put my girlfriend's captivate on Continuum over the weekend so I'm sure I'm pressing the right keys to get into download mode, but I get nothing but the battery.
I do have the Android SDK in my computer but I'm never able to get past that naggy screen, so I can't do a 'adb shell reboot recovery' is a JIG my only option?
To recap, can't get into download mode and pressing volume up / volume down and power buttonuntil the AT&T screen and then release the power button doesn't get me into recovery mode.
Need help!
I've been in the exact same situation.A jig is most probably the only option.
Many people have had this problem and find that a jig is the answer.

first try with just holding vol buttons and then inserting USB cable...hold vol buttons till its goes into download mode or the screen changes..if not then try following steps...
1. remove the usb cable, battery, sdcard, SIM.
2. wait 10 seconds, then insert the USB cable.
3. press and hold the 3 button combo while you insert the battery
4. continue to hold until phone's screen goes black twice and release power button.
5. timing is critical, it may not work the first time. Keep going until you see the COM port is connected properly.
still no Dl mode..then buy a jig or make one yourself
Right so I'm download mode now, but every time I go back to STOCK I'm re-stuck in the same loop, seems that I can't get out of it.
I got into download mode with a JIG, but still can't see my phone from my computer, so I can't run the adb shell to get it to boot in recovery mode
I'd appreciate any help you could give me!

Restart your computer, use a different usb cable, a different usb port. if that doesn't work, unistall the drivers and reinstall, restart your comp and try again.
For anoyone that might find this thread, Odin 1 Click didn't work for me, so I flash back into stock using Odin (not the 1 click version, another one), here are some links that proved to be very helpful (I ended up Flashing to Serependity 6.4):

I had the same problem just a few weeks ago.
The problem is once you start using 2.2 you can't use ODIN 2.1 anymore.
This is the one that worked for me I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears(1)

this is actually a false statement.
i can still use odin 2.1 after flashing 2.2 roms and even stock 2.2 upgrades
Anyone thought about trying Heimdall if Odin doesn't work?
Yes, i tried using heimdall and that didn't work. I'm wondering what leopic did to fix his, if you could list the steps instead of the links that would help a lot!
stuck in att screen and battery loop
so i have tried searching for threads that match the issue i am having and some of them do and some doent so i have decided to post this. i tried flashing back to stock from a custom rom i was using. i used Odin to do this. i didn't work so i tried it again, same result. it dosent boot just sits at the captivate splash screen. i tried using a different oden tool and after that it just loops through the ATT splash screen and if i have the usb cable plugged in, it just loops the battery screen. im not even sure if it charges. i have tried everything i can find to do to get the download mode to come up and nothing, just loops. i have not tried the jig on this phone yet b/c i haven't made it to radio shack yet to pick the resistors up. is that going to be my only option?
what rom WERE you on?was it cm7 or miui?
Connection Issues? < click here for information on download and recovery mode....
information you should have had BEFORE FLASHING your phone..
i was on serinity 6.2.
i have tried all possible ways to get into d/l mode that i have found
so from the link provided
FROM A POWERED-DOWN STATE - BATTERY REMOVED
- Insert battery, then press and hold Vol+ and Vol-, then insert your USB cable..
goes into battery loop
- Press and hold Vol+/Vol-, Insert Battery, Insert USB cable
goes into battery loop
- Press and hold Vol+/Vol-, Insert USB cable, Insert Battery
goes into battery loop
- Use a 301Kohm jig between USB pins 4-5 (can be manufactured jig or homemade chain of resistors)
have not tried yet

You safe my Note.. Many Thanks
I thought I lost her x_x
I had this problem before
Users - I am new on this forum and I know this thread is old however I had this problem and it resolved itself. Here is how.
Background: I tried to charge my ATT Captivate using a Nokia microUSB charger that was plugged into a 120v outlet. After a few minutes of charging, the phone would no longer boot past the ATT World Phone screen. Afterwards I tried everything under sun to get a computer recognize the phone so I could reflash the ROM. Nothing worked (different computer, different USB cables, reinstalled the Samsung drivers, etc....).
Resolution of Problem: As a last ditch effort, I tried charging my phone with the same Nokia microUSB cable that appeared to cause the problem in the first placed. This time the Nokia USB cable was plugged into my computer instead of the 120v outlet. My computer had the Samsung phone drivers installed. To my amazement the phone booted up after I unplugged it from the USB cable and all is well.
I am not sure what happened but my Captivate is back with no damage. Hope this helps some poor soul who is trying desperatley to get a computer to recognize a phone that for no apparent reason will not be recognized.
Captivate not working after flashing CM10 nightly
HELP, Actually I rooted my SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE I897 and then tried to install CM10 nightly thorugh Clockwork mod recovery. And I forgot to wipe Dalvik cache. The phone got stuck in AT&T Screen for hours together, the phone was not at all responding i.e. neither to download mode or recovery mode. But yesterday the phone went into download mode .. i tried to install the stock rom for Samsung captivate. Its coming till galaxy S screen after that its switching off ... What is the possible solution. Pls Help with this as I am complete novice to this. Help will be appreciated :good:
Hi everyone,
After trying to flash the latest SlimBean rom on my Galaxy S, I ended up with a boot loop and no more recovery mode. I can always access to the Download mode but my computer doesn't recognize my phone when I plug it in, so I can't flash a new kernel to retrieve the recovery (thing that I had already successfully done before). When connecting the phone to the PC, no sign of life, no noise, no new device in the device manager... Tested on another PC, same thing (I did not test with another cable though, it could come from there, but it is doubtful). Drivers are up to date, it works with other phones.
I also tried with Heimdall, nothing appears in the USB device list relating to my phone (not surprising though).
I saved my GS a lot of times before, but this time I am stuck with this... Any idea or it is just hopeless ?
Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work !
Are you sure no recovery as you need to flash it twice due to partition changes make sure you hold volume down home and power until the screen flashes then let go of them its guaranteed to get recovery if its there
Sent via that ninja standing right behind you
Yes I'm sure, if I hold down-home-power I can access to the download mode. If I hold up-home-power (like I used to do to enter the recovery mode) it just keeps boot looping.
OK well you will need to try a different computer I guess one that detects your phone

you may try this way,
Boot to recovery mode without SIM card and memory card.
edit: fixed it, just flashed a stock FTF, i'll dot the whole process again later on and hope this time it works out
You can close teh thread (i've tried to delete it but can't find the option)
I've just checked that I can boot my phone and recovery works. But for instance when i try to put service mode it gives an error with IMEI
edit: i've booted to the other recovery (using volume up) and installed the pre-rooted FW again. Shut down and tried again the flashmode process but still no luck, red and quick green light. After booting the phone, it seems to work basically, but wifi not working, it doesn't turn on.
What should the next step be?
The computer does not recognize the phone when my connect it to the USB port, not even charge. The only thing that happens is a flash of red light then green light. Same thing if phone is shut down when i connect the usb cable, red flash, then sony screen appears, then green light, and finally it vibrates two times before showing the level of battery, but without actually charging it.
Anf if i try a Vol Down+Power when in standby and connect with usb cable, it shows a quick red then green flash, and then nothing.
Ok i fixed that problem apparently the USB cable decided to stop working...
Now i have another problem as I decided to install the deodexed ROM and now my phone gets stuck at the sony screen and i can't even boot to recovery.
What i did to install:
Boot to recovery using Volume Up (PhilZ)
Prepare to install new rom (which formats Data, cache, etc)
Install ROM form SDcard1
Everything went fine but at the end it says "root lost or something" I put yes, then rebooted to system, and got stuck on sony screen....
What did i do wrong and how to fix it??
Thanks for the help!
hello dears,
i have nokia 8 after last update of pie before a week suddenly my phone was acting strange ,so iwas tried to wipe data from twrp recovery i noticed all my folder where encrypted with strange letters i backup my data but after i reboot my phone its no longer working its freezing on bootloader warning screen and wont turn off or restart i have to wait until its battery drain to 0 and when i plug the usb with pc or charger once its reboot and i see even nokia logo but it restart again and stuck in bootloader warning (icant enter recovery mode or fastboot mode which is download mod)
and when itry to recharge phone its restart automatically after its battery get green after 5 min of recharging , at this point ithink im already fked up and the pc only detect MTP usb device under portable device as cd driver in pc (and show adb bootloader for only 3 second after plug in it to pc ) before its reboot and change to mtp
im already disappointed ifaced bootloader problem before but ifixed it easly but this one is unexpected problem
my last hope is i found that my phone can access safe mode when i hold power+vol + vol-
but i should hold it when my phone plugged to pc but the problem is ishould keep holding these 3 button to see safe mode and when i keep holding it and i see the phone screen open with menu its show me shutdown message and turn off immediately ,
any help will be appreciated ,:fingers-crossed:
You could try reflashing the stock boot image, booting into stock recovery, and doing a factory reset from there. I am not sure if TWRP can properly reset the phone if /data is encrypted. I also heard that you should avoid resetting your phone when you have Magisk installed (if thats the case for you).
You can boot into the bootloader by turning the phone off, and connecting it to a computer through the USB cable while holding down the volume up key.
