I have tried everything. I AM able to get in download mode so i can flash my phone but that is IT as recovery mode doesnt work, as i have tried all the methods.

yes there is!!!
but with odin though( which is unfortunatley the hard way )
but before i tell you the odin way..............
feast your eyes on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLYkMk16la8
first flash xwjm8 with odin
Then flash your region's eclair firmware. From there you know the route.
Wish you all the best.
thank you, i shall give it a try right now

oh well u didnt turned on ur debug mode u adb wouldnt read ur phone, the best treatment for that is to flash ur phone with Official Roms, theres nothing to worry about if u can still go to download mode and if odin can detect ur phone
whats bells firmware called?

Hi Experts,
I have a Cappy and i love Continuum 5 ROM. I never miss any versions from beta2 to RC 3, everything is ok, but now when contimuum v5.1 was released. I tried to flash it but i got a big problem in that version. The first, i encountered Boot Loop issue while booting, but it's not the biggest problem, my cappy is still boot up to the home screen, and here everything was became very bad. My Cappy got lag and cant interact with return and it reboot automatic after that.
Now, when v5.1 was released, i believed it'll be fixed, but it's still exists. .
my cappy cant boot up to home screen. it repeats booting to continuum animation and restart forever.
can anybody give me a suggestion for turning my cappy back !!!!!!!! Please help
Did you have full battery? I made this mistake too... Be sure that you did everything correctly..

I would suspect you could simply use the 1-CLICK ODIN program to restore the phone then follow the steps carefully for 5.1 (which is a pretty awesome ROM btw)
I'm sure i charged full battery before flashing.

i flashed to stock room with odin3 1.7 (using PDA + PIT files. i did that successful many times with 2.2 ). but now, with 2.3.3 i got brick( maybe lost boot), although flashed by odin without any errors ( 1 succeed/ failed 0) .
now i cant make the cappy go to download mode. please helppppp.
3 buttons with no interaction !!
sounds like u flashed a stock rom that didnt have old bootloader, safe way to have done it is with non 3 button fix odinoneclick flash to stock. dunno if a JIG will help u get back into download mode

Get a jig and use it to get into DL mode. Please make 100% sure you know what you are doing before you flash.

Use command command prompt. "/android" Then "adb shell" then "su" then "roboot download" might not work with adb but could give it a try

Your best bet is the jig. If that doesnt work then I would try and get a warrenty replacment. I went over the thread and it stated that if you get a bootloop you should boot into recovery and reflash the rom, did you do that?

If you lost bootloader then you will have to JTAG, if your under warranty you can say you were updating to froyo and it turned off and never turned back on

i was having some issues gettin my captivate into download mode using odin to go back to stock also. what worked for me however was to have usb plugged into comp and phone and THEN hold volume up and down. port was then recognized and i went to download. badda bing badda boom.

right. i got a bootloop when flash to v5.2. i tried to flash the rom in recovery mode many times, but it's still exists. even i flash back to RC3. i got only the android text animation on the screen.
thus i have to flash to the stock by that way. and now i got a brick
I've had problems in the past with getting to download mode on the cappy. I did some googling trying to find a way, ended up finding a very good page on it:
http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode
I hope that helps.
Had the same problem with my cappy. The problem is that after all you did, you have one bootloader from i9000 and another from i897. The jig won`t help. I`ve found the people that recovered the phone with JTAG.
here i go, i tried to flash 2.3.4, i didnt disable lag fix, was on fugu ultra with 10.1re, now im stuck on the first galaxy boot screen, yes i have left it for ages, yes i have tried flashing stock rom, yes i have tried clear and factory reset, you name it i have tried it.
I can get to dl mode, have i stuffed my phone some how?
thanks in adavnce
Try flashing Ezbase with repartition/pit file, and it should put you back to working order. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792

So you've opened ezodin, entered the 3 files into the right sections(PDA,PHONE and CSC) and entered the pit file in the Ezbase post, then put your phone into DL mode and plug in. Then flash. The repartition should remove the lagfix. Give it another go..
i cant the phone wont turn on now
Do you have download mode? Or anything? Does the screen light up at all?
nothin just a dead phone

If nothing comes to screen your phone is totally dead. You must send it to samsung unless you have Riffbox or other JTAG device.
Hi,
I bricked my captivate when I tried to install CWM after installing the 1 click odin 2.3 gingerbread.
I rooted it with the fugu and the kernel,
but CWM didn't work and I didn't know what to do..
So I tried to make a TAR file from the Update.zip,
tried to flash it trough odin in the PDA but it failed lol..
So now I'm stuck on the screen with designed phone and computer with the yellow triangle, telling me:
Firmware upgrade fail!
Try using recovery mode
Well, I tried to get to download or recovery without success,
I tried alot, combos with 1 volum and both, pressing volume keys and then connectin USB, it just won't work..
What should I do now?
Buy a jig.

Try starting ODIN, removing battery connect phone to comp pres VOL up and down and insert battery. If that doesn't work get a jig. On a side note to get CWM on KF1 you need to use Cognition 5 kernel (step 2 in his thread).
It didn't work either..
I heard about the jig but I don't know anything about it,
can you give me a link or some explanation where to buy and how to get it work?

If u can turn on ur phone and get the "Firmware upgrade fail", then u can use that screen to 1click Odin back to the i897uckf1 stock gingerbread. Just use that screen just like u would the download mode.

Firmware upgrade failed?
Why does it show firmware upgrade failed instead of just the standard phone ~!~ PC screen?
Because you failed flashing something and it messed it up. I believe the message is new because the GB bootloaders.
I believe its a secondary failsafe
