Hey Guys I know there a lot of threads like the one I am about to start up but those do not apply to what I have done to my phone.
So to start off I know I do not have a lot of posts but that is because I usually find all of the information that I need by reading through the forums. I have experience with flashing various roms onto my captivate. Today I decided I would try out an I9000 rom on my Captivate. I was following the instructions provided by this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791366
I downloaded the files that the poster said to download. I got to step 2 where I flashed the JM8 PDA. I think this is where I messed up because I after I did this my phone boots directly into recovery and spits some information out. Which is the following (this is the text under the recovery menu options):
update media, please wait ...
update media, finished
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC
mps_dat value: ATT
copy_multi_carrier from: ATT
multicsc : can not access to /system/csc/ATT/system/
copy_common_data
Thats the end of the information spit out by the recovery menu. My problem is that since I flashed some version of the I9000 kernel there is no way for me to enter the download menu so I can restore back to stock. Please Please guys I really need the communities help with this. I am screwed if I take the phone to AT&T because when the phone boots it has the I9000 splash screen that says galaxy s phone gt i9000.
The help will be greatly appreciated and I might even make a donation to the person that can help me!
Yank out battery, close Odin, Remove USB
Open Odin
Insert Battery
Hold Volume down (NO POWER)
Plug in USB
Phone should go into download mode - Start flash
Hey zilch I have tired that as well and I just keep going into the same recovery menu as before. Do you think it might be the fact that I do not have the galaxy s drivers on my computer???
If you can't get into download mode with the button combos (hell, I couldn't) you should still be able to use adb to reboot into download mode. So:
Plug in usb
Open Odin
type from a console in the android sdk tools directory "adb reboot download"
Use odin when you get into the download mode.
Also, Zilch, you've helped me out before, you're the man.

You dont need separate drivers if you had the Captivate ones installed... it should work either way, but if you have no drivers at all, that could be an issue
Edit: If it's plugged into USB and you didnt hit power it shouldn't power on the phone to go into recovery menu... if you did the button combo wrong it should just show the battery
No i do have the captivate drivers installed. I was coming from cognition so maybe that is a problem??? I am really open to any suggestions!

Install the drivers!
I meant I do have the Captivate drivers installed but when the phone turns on and enters recovery mode my computer (windows 7 x64) notifies me it is searching for drivers and then fails.
To get into download mode:
1. Remove Battery, SIM, SD
2. Open Odin
3. hold volume up + down buttons
4. While holding them down, put the battery
5. still holding them(buttons) down, plug the usb cable.
Phone should go to download mode and Odin should detect it.

When I plug in the phone it shows the batter and the loading bars for a couple of seconds and then automatically enters the recovery menu. I have not touched any of the buttons the whole time this happens.

So if you unplug the phone from USB while it's off, then hold volume down, and plug in USB nothing happens or does it do the battery thing?
Okay so through some miracle of god I got the adb to detect the phone and I sent it into download mode but odin wasnt open and now I am getting the mobile phone image/ warning image/ pc image!

From that screen if you can't get your button combos to work you're pretty much toast =/
You can try:
USB
Unplug battery
Plug in battery
Hold both volume buttons + power
keep holding the buttons, the screen will turn off, then turn back on
As soon as the screen goes black again, release the power button and hope that you get the android digger
MY PHONE IS FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!! I think what did the trick is I installed Samsung Kies and that gave me all of the drivers for the samsung phone thus giving me the ability to use adb in recovery. Thanks guys! Your'e post encouraged me to keep trying and not cuddle up in the fetal position crying myself to sleep!

Whew... well I'm glad you got it back, we've had so many perma-fails lately with the OTA these days it's nice to see a miraculous recovery Improves morale around here!
this thread just saved my life. thank you to everyone that contributed
For future reference, since the button combos are different on the i9000 vs. the Captivate, I've found that I get into download mode every time on an i9000 ROM by yanking the battery, and then re-inserting it while holding volume down+power. I know you already got it resolved, but just keep that in mind, as it has never failed me. Only wish I knew about that combo back during the whole JPC fiasco!
I decided to upgrade to Cog2.2beta5 from Cog2.1.4 today using ROM Manager. Everything seemed to go well but after install and reboot all I got was a black screen and subsequent reboots landed me at the same result.
So I thought restoring back to stock with Odin One Click from this forum, the one with all the ROM files built right in, was the best next step. I downloaded Odin and followed the instruction to the T and it got stuck at the PIT step. After a few attempts at it now my phone won't even power on. I've let it sit without a battery in for several minutes and even charged it on a wall charger for 30 minutes just to make sure it wasn't a dead battery. Still won't power on or respond at all.
I'm fairly new to all of this... Any ideas on what would cause a total melt down of the phone to the point of not even powering on? It has been flawless for me since launch.
Didi you download the drivers? also did you unplug the phone while doing the flash>/
pull battery sim and sd if you have one
Wait a minutes or so
plug in USB
hold vol up and down
put in battery
If the phone does not immediately go to download mode, you have a fancy paper weight that doesn't even weigh that much.

I did download the drivers and from everything I could see, my system and Odin recognized the phone without issue.
I had to unplug it during the process because the process froze in the same spot for well over an hour. I didn't see any other choice.

Guess it's a paper weight then because the phone won't power up at all let alone go into download mode.
Thanks for your time guys.
sounds like you might have done exactly what i did with my first captivate and yes it IS bricked! i know you will read "its impossible" to do that but i "thought" i followed the correct steps and flashed only a pit file. what it does is repartition your file system but apparently nothing is added after that...
not sure what steps you took on odin but it sounds like you got the same error i did and then the same issue so im going to assume the same thing has happened here...sorry matey

I had mine hosed for a while and this is what I did to get it back.
When it is unplugged and everything is out of the phone (sd, sim, batt) , hold the power button down for 10 sec, then release.
Put in battery, hold vol up + vol dwn, Plug into different usb port, Plug into phone.
That should get you into download mode
Mine did this too and the steps mentioned fixed it for me

I too accidently only wrote the pit file and it wouldn't do anything at all just blank screen . Make sure you remove everything open Odin one click, plug in your phone with the USB cable, hold down volume up and down and plug in battery it should start in download mode. It does work.

What did you try to flash with Odin? (with version, variant #, with/without bootloaders)
What was the Odin log?
nothing, no roms yet. i was in the first part of the instruction. this is what i follow
1. Download and install the correct drivers below (mac and linux don't need drivers)
2. Plug in your usb cable to your phone and computer
3. Open Odin
4. Enter Download Mode (see below)
5. Click Start
6. Be Patient, the first boot will take a while
where can i find the odin logs?
My Phone: Stock Eclair 2.1 JH7 update Build 1006
(amazingly no GPS or shutdown issues)
Rooted
Voodoo Lagfix
That's It.
I read alot on here about upgrading to Froyo, regarding having to un-root and stopping lag fix. I could not figure out how to stop lagfix, which I figured I had to be rooted to do so, so I just didn't un-root either. So my mistake I just said F-It and started Kies Mini and plugged in my phone. My firmware updated and my phone rebooted, however it gets to the Galaxy S screen, and instead of booting up my screen goes black and nothing happens, like it shuts off. So, what should I do from here, as this is my only phone, and I don't have readily available access to a computer.
get to the download mode and reflash to stock using odin.
well that's what I was thinking of doing, however. it seems I can only boot into recovery mode. Vol. Down button and Power button. The three button combo seems to do nothing for me, don't know why. So how do I get into Download mode? My first phone WAS the three button combo.

the key combo may not work on certain build phone. if it happens to your phone, you have to build a jig yourself or buy one (i can send you one, PM me).

fire up ODIN 1-CLICK
connect USB to Computer
remove battery from phone
replace battery
hold down both volume buttons
insert micro USB into phone
*DOWNLOAD MODE!*
Well I sure do appreciate that offer. Vol. Up & Vol. Down button with ODIN open and Then plugging in USB got me to download mode. heh I pushed Master Clear, so we'll see what happens.
THANKS!
I figured that out right before you posted it! you Canadians are alright. lol
I would give you a thanks, but I can't find the button for you!

Been about 15 mins since hitting Master Clear phone still says Downloading... Do not turn off target. I forget, having only flashed once to the leaked, does it usually take this long?

you cannot be in the download mode if you just want to do a master clear. boot the phone normally, enable the debug mode and do the master clear using odin there.
No it shouldn't. Another thing that helped was to install the driver package that is included in the Original Post for 1-click. If that still doesn't work after 5 or so minutes, unplug and try again, but this time just go for the ROM flash. You should see the blue status bar moving on the phone. I had the same issue. This took me a few tries.
well odin now says Removed! like i'm supposed to celebrate. phone still says downloading.. lol I guess I should have hit START instead.
Thanks so much clemmie. phone is back to stock you can master clear in download mode, just takes 20 mins. lol I hit start instead and it put me back to the stock jf6. now time to get froyo wee! thanks alot guys, thread can be closed and deleted if you would like.
ok guys i'm definitely a noob at this but i think i messed up this morning downloading the gb drivers for my captivate. i was running serendipity 6.4 and i was trying to flash serendipity VII. i didn't flash back to stock 2.1 eclair with odin one click before i followed the instructions on downloading the new drivers for the gb. i went to the power menu on the 6.4 and hit download mode and plugged in the usb. it went halfway through the downloading process and stopped. my screen was blank without the downloading sign anymore and on odin it was at a halt. i waited for about 45 minutes for it to proceed and nothing so i unplugged it. when i did the factory recovery screen came up and i could use the volume up and down buttons to scroll through the menu choices but it wouldn't let me use the power button to make a selection at all like the power button wasn't working. i pulled the battery and put it back in after a while and now all i get is the galaxy s gt-i9000 samsung screen and nothing else. it wont let me back into recovery or download mode no matter what button combo i try. did i brick my phone and is there a way for me to fix this without having to buy another one? any help would be greatly appreciated.( guys, i realized i messed up shortly after it was done and messed up that i should've odin one clicked it back to factory before i did this,but by that time it was too late.)
When a problem comes along, you must jig it!
You might want to look into buying/making a jig to get you to a place where you can repair your phone.
ok guys,the phone will let me get back into the recovery menu and but won't let me make a selection out of the menu with the power button and i still get the galaxy s screen but nothing else.
Please use more descriptive thread titles. Your title is useless to anyone doing a search.

Could you please quote/reply to these steps to getting into download mode?
From powered-off state, Hold V+/V-, insert USB cable
With battery out, Hold V+/V-, insert USB cable
From powered-off state, Hold V-, press & hold power button
If you haven't tried this combo yet, try using the home softkey in place of the power button with some of these combos - there have been reports of the power button getting remapped to the home softkey.
i apologize for the wrong topic but i have tried every way possible that is listed on xda and other forums to get into download mode with no luck. the only way i could is from the menu's on the roms that i had flashed before( cognition 4.5.3 and serendipity 6.4). i got it to work one time with the hold the vol. up and down buttons and the power button and inserting the battery and it never worked again. all i get is the charging symbol now,the galaxy s screen, or recovery screen. i did get it back into recovery and i tried the home soft button and nothing. then i hit the menu soft button and now it shows the android man and the exclamation point in the triangle. what can i do guys???

Just out of curiosity, when you're at the android man/exclamation screen, if you have odin up already and plug in the phone, does it recognize that the phone's attached?
If so, you might be able to use the odin one-click to get back to stock eclair.
i will try that and get back to you. hopefully it will work.
no sir. i plugged it in and the computer lets me know that i plugged in the usb but nothing registers on odin or the phone.

Hmm... I've reached the end of things I know to say to try. I'm assuming you've tried changing which port you're plugging your phone into on the computer?
Also, have you tried using adb to reboot to download? If not, get adb and use the "adb reboot download" command (I think...) to see if that gets you there. You may need to be in the recovery menu (if you can get back there), or the exclamation point / android guy might work, too.
Although, if you can get back to recovery, you might be able to mount your phone to the computer, drop a copy of CWM on there and reinstall that so you can have more options available to you.
Your best bet at this point might be to buy or build a jig. That should hopefully make the phone go into download mode so that you can get to where you need to be.
ok, now i'm a little confused. i've been sitting here with my phone in my pocket not messing with it. i pull it out of my pocket and it was off. i held the down volume button and the power button at the same time and it immediately started showing download mode. now i'm not near my computer with odin on it to flash it back to stock. lolol. this is depressing. now all i can hope is i can make it back to my computer before my battery runs out. i say this because my phone has always been hard to use the button combos to get it into download mode.
if i can get odin to flash it back to stock,i'll master clear it. question is should i root it again before flashing the GB bootloaders to install serendipity VII?

Good to hear there's a glimmer of hope. If you do manage to get there, you might want to make an EFS backup before moving any further, just so you have one more tool in your arsenal of preventing phone problems.
After reading this whole thread I think your problem is that you now have gingerbread bootoaders and your button combos have changed and you don't know it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
i think you may be right about having the GB bootloaders. now first question is how to i manage to make an efs back up? secondly, if i have the GB bootloaders then what do i do to flash the complete serendiptiy VII onto the phone? the reason why i ask is because the phone just quit downloading the flash in the middle of the download and that's when all hell broke loose. lolol. but you guys are right. i might just have a glimmer of hope.
If you do have the GB bootloaders, you should (theoretically) be able to get to download mode with the volume - & power button combination. This may take a little fiddling to find a timing after you've started the phone to find out when you can get to it.
As far as flashing Serendipity, you could try, but my advice would be to try and get to stock Eclair first and then go forwards. You're in a place with a lot of variables, and stock Eclair would be as variable-free as you're likely to get.
As far as backing up the EFS, under the CWM recovery menu, there's an option to make a nandroid backup. That's step 1. Once you've made the backup, just copy it from the clockworkmod folder to a safe place.
well i've got an update now. got everything back to factory 2.1 eclair and then i did a master reset in the phone because now i can't get into the recovery menu or the download menu and one click root will not work on my phone now at all. it keeps saying failed.

+1 on the jig...odin is very finicky and a jig will get you to download mode when you need it most...
buy or make one...worth every penny.
I had Cognition 4 flashed but had a problem that whenever the battery was removed when the phone was on, about half of my apps, wifi, and texting would force close on reboot and never be able to open until I reflashed Cogntion. Because of this, I decided to try Serendipity VII. I put the zip file on my phone, rebooted into recovery, then tried to do the same thing that I did for Cognition. When I did this it said that it was installing, then said install complete without rebooting. I decided to reboot the phone, and when I tried, it keeps looping on the att screen. I do not see the battery charge signal when I plug it in. I see a loading gear for the battery for about five seconds, then the screen has electric looking blue lines flash through the center and then nothing. I cannot boot into recovery or download, it just keeps looping on the ATT screen.

So you tried flashing a GB rom without first flashing GB bootloaders?
You should have read and followed the installation instructions on the Serendipity download page. Start Odin one click,see if you can get phone into download mode by any combo and see if Odin sees it. Flash stock and start again.

Thanks for all the help, I will be buying a jig from amazon for about ten bucks. I hope this works. But if it doesn't, at least this will teach me to read instructions before doing something that I don't understand very well.
to get into download mode press volume down instead of volume up to get u into recovery, at first i screwed up too somewhat like you so what i did is removed the battery for a minute, put it back in press volume down middle and power button to get into download then use odin to flash a new 2.3.4 gingerbread that u can get from this forum just look through and ull find it, make sure u put the pit file phone file, pda and csc files and make sure u check the repartition auto reboot and freset time checked on then press start hope it helped

Sir try this one last thing, remove your USB Cable from your PC, remove your battery...
While holding down both (Up and Down) volume buttons, insert the battery and THEN connect your phone to your PC through USB, see if this puts it into Download mode.
If not, try doing the same just holding down the DOWN volume button. Hope this helps, it seems as if these combinations kind of vary from phone to phone. Cheers

I tried this and all it did was do the att loop screen thing. Also, my computer dinged that it saw a usb device being plugged in, but then the restart loop restarts the phone and continues this indefinitely. Thanks for the help anyway.
You don't need to buy a jig, just go do that thing where you get three (or four) resistors in series that totals 301k ohms and touch them to specific contacts in the usb port of your phone... look it up on xda, it's worked for most people.

Thanks, but I already screwed up my phone by doing something that I did not fully understand, it's a small wonder that I can use Linux and not be too confused. I think I will take the easy way out with this one.
Hmm I remember that often when I tried to put my phone into recovery mode or download, whenever I held the Power Button down, it would just keep looping. When you but the battery on and connect your phone, make sure you are not holding the Power button, just the volume ones. Perhaps it is your case?

It loops if whether or not I hold any buttons down. If I hold the power button down while trying to get into download mode, then it just turns it off.
Turn off the phone, remove the battery, get a stock odin one click for the captivate.
I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 seems to be a reliable flash when I run into trouble.
Start odin, plug the phone into the USB cable, hold the volume up/down key or try any combination up/down or both. Insert the battery and hopefully it will go into download mode.
Been reliable so far...
Hi. I'm unable to get into recovery mode after I flashed the Talon kernel as per the instructions here.

I'm consistently able to get into download mode and reflashed the talon 0.1.2 kernel as per the instructions there, but still to no avail. Any other suggestions to get my phone into CWM ?

Might as well get the Jig easy Download mode xD. I made mine myself cost a whole $2.50 for one xD
