I was trying to flash the overclock kernel when my phone just shut off midway through the process. I left it for a while and now I am stuck with the phone/computer screen. I have tried to boot up plugged in with odin running, unplugged with odin running. I used just the down and power, I used just up and power, I used both and power, and still no luck. My phone goes straight to the screen when I plug it in to the computer before I even try to do anything.
How can I get back to download mode?
Looks like you tried all but one method:
1) Start Odin
2) Press and hold up and down vol buttons
3) Plug in usb while holding buttons
See if that helps.
If you have the adb shel you can start a new shell and cd to the directory with the adb executable and run the following:
cd \your\adb\directory\
adb shell
At that point you should see a new prompt with a '$' type:
reboot download
Your screen should show "Downloading Do Not Disconnect Device" indicating that your phone is in download mode.
By starting odin I assume you mean just opening the program? If so, I just end up in the android system recovery with the <!> triangle and the android in the back ground.
Doing the adb reboot download thing left me with the same problem "Segmentation fault".
With your phone unplugged from the computer, remove you sim, battery and external sd(If you have one) and then open the odin application...
Once odin opens, connect the phone via usb and odin should list the phone in the application window.
I believe the system recovery will allow you to execute odin. If your phone is not fully booted to the os then it should let you apply the odin recovery. If you connect your phone with odin open, and odin recognizes the device, then you should be able to apply the fix.
I am using the O3 One click downloader and it saw it. "0:[COM4]" and I was able to hit start and it said:
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

Wrong steps, go to odin one click thread and every question you run into along the way will be answered...your phone is fine you just need to learn how to use odin

I've tried just about everything I could find on Google, but Odin refuses to go past "file analysis". I'm trying to flash JH2
Here's everything I've tried
1) Change USB port
2) Administrator mode and XP SP3 compatibility (i'm on w7 x64)
3) Re-partition checked/unchecked
4) Rebooted phone
5) rebooted computer
6) removed sim card and sd
What am I missing?
It's almost always the fact that you didn't have Odin up and running with all the info in ahead of time before you plug the phone in to the USB port.
Do all the Odin stuff first, then set the phone up for the download.
Agreed.
First if you are able to use a program like Droid Explorer then you are fine driver wise so Open Odin first then Press and Hold Volume up and down and while doing that plug the USB Cable into the phone and that should turn on the phone into downloading mode.
Yes, make sure you have odin open first. Then you can go into download mode and start. Easiest way I have to do it is this:
-Open odin
-plug phone into usb with USB debugging enabled
-open command prompt and get to the android-sdk-windows
-adb reboot download
That should work perfectly. Takes all the guess work of trying to get it into the download mode.

I just created an account on XDA to tell you how INCREDIBLY grateful I am to you, because you just singlehandedly saved my phone. Thank you. Times a million.
I've jig-fixed my captivate into download mode and odin recognizes it. Even after plugging it in and after the .pit and .tar are qued, it still gets stuck on "file analysis.."
Worked for me too but...
All I had to do was
Close Odin3
Unplug my phone & pull the battery
Reopen Odin3
Then hold the volume up/down buttons while plugging in the usb cord
and then clicked start when it recognized my device.
I appreciate your help, you cleared my confusion!
Thanks!

Are you running ODIN in admin? Did you connect your phone to a rear usb port? Have you tried a different cable?
I've never seen Odin require administrative permissions. Installation of drivers, yes, but Odin and Heimdall do not require admininstrative permissions.
On my win 7 it wont ever work without admin.
I second that. But some people say its needed. I never had to.

I'm having trouble flashing back to JF6 after a failed JH7 OTA update.
I can't flash back to stock firmware after following a lot of the directions posted around the forum. Odin One Click is all bank when I click start and I immediately get "All threads completed 0/0" and nothing happens. I've tried several different orders of operations in regards to putting into downloading mode and connecting to the PC, etc.
Also, Odin3 does the same thing after selecting the PIT file and firmware from samfirmwares. I get the same message and nothing happens.
Is there a more specific guide someone can point me to or share some insight? Thanks in advance.

How are you using odin?
The process is the same for either ODIN one-click or ODIN3
Your phone MUST be in download mode.
You will get a black screen with a yellow triangle, saying "DOWNLOAD"
The process to get into download (works for me) is by powering off the phone.. odin must already be turned on in your computer. <<IF you are using win7, run it as admin... right-click then "Run as Administrator">>
With the phone powered off, press and hold both volume buttons, then plug in the USB cable to the phone. The cable must already be plugged in to the computer.
Next, start ODIN and wait for it to finish.
This should be a foolproof method.
I am having the same issue...
I followed the exact directions on the thread title '[STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers CAPTIVATE ONLY 'and I get into "Download mode" but nothing happens. I click start on Odin (the one downloaded from that thread) and it *instantly* says <OSM> All threads complete. (succeed 0 / failed 0).
What am I doing wrong?
Samsung Captivate running 2.1 rooted with "the beast". I bricked it last night trying to get OTA gps "fix" notice to stop bugging me.
Any tips? Thanks!

What OS are you running on your computer? Is it win7? If it is, make sure you run ODIN as administrator. Also, is ODIN on prior to connecting phone to computer?
Try following these steps:
1. Plug in USB cable to computer
2. Turn on ODIN (run as administrator)
3. Turn off phone (not connected to anything)
4. Hold down both volume buttons on phone
5. Connect USB cable to phone while doing STEP4
6. Click start in ODIN
This should work. If you are using ODIN3 instead of one-click, then make sure to set .PIT and PDA files properly, and to click re-partition if you are trying to unbrick your phone
Thank you....
I'm using Win 7 64-bit.
I've tried on both ways, prior and after, just to see if either worked.
The version of Odin is Odin3excution v1.00 downloaded from the aforementioned thread. (yes execution is misspelled on the actual program).
I am running it as administrator using the right click, run as function.
I can't link anything because I'm a new user (BAH! ) but it says Odin3 One-Click Downloader on the top in black.
ALL the boxes are blank. Every thing is blank...thank you!

I did this and I do get into Download mode immediately, Odin3 One-Click Downloader just says <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0) instantly.
I'm guessing I need a different version of Odin? FWIW, the name of the actual file is I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0

I'm having the same issue. I'm on WinXP, SP2 (old computer, I know.) I'm normally a Mac user, this is the only PC I have.
I'm using the same Odin One Click version Drew stated, with all boxes blank. Perhaps a drivers issue?
look up the odin one-click thread and DL the appropriate drivers and try again
As soon as you get into download mode and connected odin should recognize your phone - is odin seeing your phone?
No, windows is a POS. I've downloaded so many different drivers and each time I get an error saying it failed. I've literally tried every Captivate 64 bit win 7 driver out there, I downloaded KIES and tried that too.
I'm *really* close to dumping windows and android and just going full Apple. I am so sick of this crap and I've always hated Apple products (almost to the point of being extreme) but...if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em.
I've spent the better part of 2 days trying to get this to work and the main issue, from what I'm slowly finding out, is windows wont recognize the phone and keeps dumping it before it gets connected.
It's just really too much at this point. I can go buy *shudder* an iMac, an iPhone *double shudder* and I'll be up and running in 15 minutes.
F8ck this noise.
Try this link for 64bit windows drivers.
Before you install, go to control panel, and delete all previous drivers.
Reboot your computer once before re-installing the drivers above.
http://http://www.mediafire.com/?3dh4d6up72me9re
I'm pretty sure you won't need to install .net framework for Odin to work.
But if after drivers it still doesn't work, try installing .net framework 4.0 as well. You will need that installed to root anyways.

Nope, ODIN does not recognize my phone. I've tried it a few more times using the correct sequence and got nothing. Even reinstalled the drivers and rebooted the PC (without my phone connected).
Issue has been resolved. I tried it on a newer system running WinXP and got flashed back to stock with no problem... although the OTA update failed again.... but I've got the one-click version of that too.
Thanks for everyone's help!

I'm trying to restore my Captivate to stock firmware (to remove root, return bloatware, preinstalled apps, and fix other damage) I plugged my phone into my PC, drivers installed, USB debugging on, and it does show up in Odin and the Command Prompt ('adb devices') when NOT in download mode, then when I run the command 'adb reboot download' (which is supposed to put phone into download mode, remove from odin and add back) it doesn't show up. I waited for twenty minutes and have tried several times. Also, my Captivate is the older version that does work with Odin
Does anyone know whats wrong or have this similar problem?
So are you saying that the phone can't get into Download Mode?
Or are you saying that Odin isn't finding it?
Have you tried not using adb to get to download mode?
1) Open odin (which ever version you are using)
2) Power phone off
3) Have cable plugged into USB
4) Hold vol up/down
5) Plug phone into USB.
If that doesn't work to recognize try this method.
1) Open odin (which ever version you are using)
2) Remove battery
3) Plug phone into USB connected computer and hold vol up/down
4) Replace battery.
See if that does anything for you.
I have done something incredibly stupid: Executing this command
heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --cache cache.rfs --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin --param param.lfs --kernel zImage --modem modem.bin
from a directory containing P1000 files while my i9000 was connected...
Now the i9000 will not display anything at all, pure black screen all the time. No logo, no error, no icon, no boot, no recovery, no download, no charging.
3-button combo does not do anything besides a very faint, short buzz. Same happens when pressing Vol UP+Vol DOWN and then inserting the battery.
Is there any solution besides soldering on the mainbord?
Odin recognize the phone?
Then try this:
Start ODIN, load all files; PIT, PDA, PHONE & CSC. Check Re-Partition.
Boot your phone into download modus (hold 3 button combo for downlaod min. 5 sec.) even if it is black and connect to usb. Then press Start.
Good luck!
Sorry for my bad English
Odin I haven't tried.
Heimdall does not detect any compatible device.
I'll try to get some windows computer to check with Odin.
So Heimdall shows this:
heimdall version
v1.3.1
heimdall detect
Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.

Sometimes Heimdall have USB driver problems.
Try it with odin and windows.
Odin does not show anything.
Plugging in the phone via USB to a Windows computer does not prompt any device driver installation.
Kies does not recognize the phone when it's plugged in.
That is exactly why we shoul not mess with Boot Sector.. Well wot about the battery status ? Is it charged ?
Yes, I agree. Let it be a warning .
It should be charged, yes, since it was connected to USB for a long time. But it does not show anything, not even a charging battery while connected.
Download mode workin ?
No, no download, no recovery, no logo, nothing. 3 button combo does not work.
Best it does is display a very black screen.
Also tried a Kies 'diagnose connection errors'. This, of course, does not help a bit either.
Have you install kies on windows befor you start odin? Odin needs the USB Driver from Samsungs Kies.
The last solution is the servicepoint.
Now do one thing Try to put it in d download mode by pullin out the battery and vol down mode(weather it shows d triangle logo or not).. After 1 minute connect it with odin and see if odin detects.. Your second Last hope
i think u can ask in forum how can do that for you.

I guess I ruined my I9000, black screen, no charging .
With a jig plug it goes into download mode, but windows does not find a driver for this USB device. So Odin can not find a device.
Any idea how to get connection to the phone???
Pulled out the battery, connected USB, pressed Vol DOWN, inserted the battery.
Only thing that happens is the slight 'buzz' the phone gives. Nothing else.
And unfortunately Odin doesn't detect anything.
Well, something happens. After some time, the phone is quite warm. So it's not only a black screen, it's also a little heater.

Sounds mighty similar. Your phone does not display anything either? No logo, nothing?
If so, maybe I could try a JIG as well before shipping my phone to some phone shop..

Have u install Samsung Kies? Odin and Windows need the driver from Kies.
when it is installed reinstall it.
I've also done a lsusb from Linux, it just doesn't show ANYthing from the phone.
Then try it with a jig. Maybe you have luck and it works.

u may probably hav to fix your three button download mode by flashing new SBL.bin files but its highly complicated and may cause a thermonuclear war so d easy way is that u can use terminal emulator on ur cel nd enter a command for downlaod or recovery modes
I faced a unique problem today...
1. Got a notification to update Super Su
2. After updating, went to the app and it asked for updating binary...clicked Ok
3. Asked which method to use- Normal or CWM/TWRP...clicked CWM/TWRP
And all hell broke loose...the phone rebooted and kept stuck at Samsung GT-N7000 screen
Tried booting into recovery using the Vol Up+Menu+Power Button but failed to boot into recovery and always booted in the same GT N7000 screen
In short my custom recovery was messed up...
The above may not be a huge problem for people frequenting these forums and having basic google search finesse, but still it took me more than 3 hours to un-brick my phone after trying several combinations and permutations, so to the benefit of other members here's my simple solution:
1. Check if you can get into download mode by using Volume Down+Menu+Power Button
2. If not, your problem might be more serious and you should keep searching for a solution...best of luck!
3. If you can get into download mode, fine ...lets continue...
4. Prepare your PC for flashing a custom recovery via PC Odin:
a. Download PC Odin: I used Odin 3 V 1.85
b. Download a custom recovery: I used Philz 5.03
c. Uninstall Kies and Samsung Drivers from your PC (do it, it worked for me!)
d. Install latest Samsung Drivers afresh
e. Eject and physically remove all USB connected devices from your PC
f. Disable any antivirus software
5. Now get to download mode on your handset- after Volume Down+Menu+Power Button- on the next screen press Vol Up key to enable download mode. Do not connect phone to PC yet.
6. Run Odin as administrator. Let the app window come up on your screen.
7. Connect the original Samsung USB cable to the USB port at the back of your PC- this is to ensure it gets connected to the motherboard USB slot directly- please do this- critically important- at least in my case. For a laptop, I guess any port will do.
8. Connect your phone to the PC using USB cable
9. The ID:COM indicator on the PC ODIN window should turn yellow in a few minutes
10. Do not click on any buttons on ODIN Window- Auto-Reboot and F.Reset Timer should be checked and everything else should be left unchecked.
11. Click on PDA tab on ODIN and browse to the custom recovery tar file, select it- it should now appear under PDA tab.
12. Click on start and let ODIN do its thing...
13. Disconnect the phone after successful reboot.
The above steps helped me recover my soft-bricked phone.
I understand you should follow the steps verbatim to use this method...believe me I have tried several iterations- using front USB port, trying without disconnecting all other devices from USB port, without uninstalling Kies, et al...and failed everytime.
I hope this helps you.
:good:
