[Q] Bricked!!!???

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.

Sorry to be such a noob but what Odin section are you referring to thanks

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.

[q] need help please

I was trying to do the odin3 1click install on my samsung captivate and it never got past the file analysis so i closed odin and unpluged my phone then took out the battery. When i plugged my phone in the pc again i had the phone icon, tringle with "!" and a computer. i cried. after awhile of looking threw the endless comments from the odin3 thread i found out how to get into download mood when its plugged into the computer so i plug it in start odin then put the phone into download mode it finds it i click start and it never gets past file analysis. PLEASE Help if you know anything else i can try or if i am doing something wrong i need this phone back or my parents who bought it a week ago will KILL me. not literally but still, if you know anything please help.

This post really needs to be in the odin3 thread and not its own thread. Anyways, 3 things to try, first, reset the computer, start odin3 and reset the phone again, that always works for me. Second, try re downloading odin3 and a pc restart, and last, try another computer. Good luck and I wish you the best.

Hundred posts about this already. Check the forum. I would try again and again.

I had this issue. You really need to make sure you have good drivers installed. Also, try a different USB port. I also had an issue where it didn't like to do odin through a usb extenstion cord. Strange stuff.

In the future please do read the stickies, but here you go:
Remove battery, SIM etc
Close Odin
Unplug USB
Make sure kies is closed (if you use it)
Open Odin 1 click
Plug in battery
Hold both volume buttons (NO POWER)
Plug in USB
Click start in Odin
Somewhere along the line pray that you arent one of the unlucky suckers who can't use button combos on their phones
Ps. This: i plug it in start odin is where you went wrong. You must have Odin running BEFORE plugging the phone in (Unless you're using my method, in which case that doesn't apply)

i know theres stickies on this but ive read them and done everything they have said and got nothing to work so i figured there was a different problem. i tried your way zilch with odin oped hold volume and plug in without power. it went straight into download but still didnt move past file analysis and ive tried on 2 diffrent pc's and re downloaded oden about 5 times i am desperate and new to these forums im sry if im doing the wrong thing here

And youre definetly closing odin before every flash attempt right? Odin gets cranky if it has previously "seen" your phone.
You might want to reinstall drivers or try a different usb port as well

And for fun i would reboot the PC and disable anti virus while you attempt odin. Never know

Change the USB port that it is plugged into. Out of my computer's 12 USB ports, only ports 6 and 9 work and they're on the back of my PC.

You're in the wrong sub-section, this is for the Captivate (S1).

what rom did you install? froyo gingerbread?

have you gone into stock recovery and selected "reinstall packages" TWO TIMES in a row?

if your phone turns on it IS NOT a paperweight. something wasnt done, or you didnt read enough of something somewhere.

1. Do your homework and read through forums. This Q&A itself has many threads from people which had experience similar to yours.
2. Don't Panic. Also, please don't right in bold and caps. It seems like that you are shouting. People here have patience and they are here to help.
3. Follow the instructions below step by step -
As you mentioned that you are able to enter in DL and recovery mode, your phone is not yet dead. I also assume that you tried to use ROM Manager from market (my guess from what you have written), if so, please know what you are doing before attempting. Anyways -
- Make sure you have proper drivers installed on your computer. If you are not sure, grab them here - Windows 32 Bit OR Windows 64 Bit. Reboot your computer if required.
- Download Odin One Click Stock JF6 from here.
- Open Odin (right click on it and run as administrator). Plug the USB cable to PC, other end is not connected yet.
- Turn off your phone. (Pull out the battery and put it back). Press and hold down both Volume low and up buttons and while holding them, insert USB cable into phone. You should enter into Download mode, Also Odin running on your computer should recognize it. Flash it.
If your phone is completely dead, you can't find out what is going on, follow the instruction on this post.

Hey guys,
I'm having a similar problem with the same phone. I was trying to flash to a custom OS from eclair using the heimdall 1.1.1 suite. The problem is that what I used is supposed to be used to flash from froyo. So now a samsung galaxy s welcome page comes up in the new font, but it will never load anything else. I can also get into recovery and download mode, but when I run the Odin One Click JF6 it doesn't do anything. It says something along the lines of finished, 0 success, 0 fails.
Could I just flash the original kernel back onto the phone? I have been reading the forums and haven't found many people that can get into download mode and are still having problems. Thanks you guys for your help in advance
EDIT: Just figured it out. Used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266172. VERY happy my phone is unbricked!

[Q] lsusb not detecting bricked Captivate

Hey guys
This is my first post at XDA but I am not new to flashing ROM to my Captivate
I have looked all over the forums but could not find an answer to my questions.
My Captivate was originally on Eclair, later upgraded to Froyo with lag fix and it fixed nothing. It was still really slow and unusable. I saw one of my friends running Gingerbread and man it was blazing fast. So I decided to try some Gingerbread.
First of all, my Captivate if 1008 batch. The three button to download mode is not supposed to work for this batch but it worked and I was able to get it back to stock ROM. I was able to use the stock ROM too so I decided to try upgrade to Gingerbread. This time the 3 button download mode did not work. So I did "adb reboot download" and put it into download mode and all problems started.
1. No USB port is detecting the phone.
2. The battery slipped out of the phone and after I put it back, it gave me the infamous phone--!--computer soft bricked state.
3. In Windows 7, No "3 button fix to put it to download mode with Odin3 open" is working
4. In Linux (Ubuntu 10.10), I tried the one-click-unbrick JAR file and the error is "Device Not Detected".
5. I have tried 2 different Micro USB cables and all possible USB ports, still no response.
6. Once I connect the phone to the computer, I get the phone--!--computer logo but lsusb does not show the device.
7. On Windows 7, Device manager does not show any USB device when I connect the phone.
So basically I think the problem is the device is not showing up on any USB port, so there is no question of ODIN, Hiemdall or One-click-anything. What should I do now?
Thanks

Have you tried cleaning the USB port on your phone with some rubbing alcohol and a small piece of cloth on a toothpick? Maybe it's just not making good contact.

Let me give that a quick try.
Two question.
1. Is the device supposed to be detected even in the soft bricked state by the OS?
2. Even in soft bricked state, is the battery charging? Cuz if its not, I need to order an external battery charger.
Thanks

If you haven't looked through it, check out the "Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help" in my signature.
To answer your questions:
1. Yes. That screen is quasi-download-mode, and the OS should see it.
2. Honestly, I don't know. I think the answer is yes, but someone who understands the hardware better than I do would have to respond.

almost the same crap as me, our captivates are dying >.<

Bricked too
Got my captivate bricked last night and cannot flash any rom. I got the phone-/!\-computer screen and odin and computer does not detect the phone when i plug it in. I have tried every method known to man but am not getting anywhere. Any ideas?

[Q] please someone anyone HELP my samsung captivate is soft bricked

ok to start with I am soft bricked cause i got the phone-!-computer on my screen. here is how it got bricked to start with... was updating to android 2.3 gingerbread with kies mini and the first time when finished updating my wifi would not work so i flashed the rom with odin and it was a bad version cause instantly it went to recovery mode. so I went and downloaded odin one click and flashed it back to stock android eclair and went to update to 2.2 froyo with kies mini our power blinked and now im softbricked.
ok here is what ive tried so far... 3 button combo both volumes and power tried all that. ok next i tried one click unbrick it just say failed everytime... tried AIO captivate toolbox and no avail.. went radio shack got 3 resistors 100k made a jig touched pins 4 and 5 and didnt work either.. so my questions are as follows
1. what next????
2. could i have possibly shorted out my usb port on my phone since i accidently slipped and touched a pin i should not have and AIO captivate toolbox says usb debugging isnt on.
3. is there any way to test the micro usb port on the phone to see if its working right?
any and all help would be very much appreciated.
thanks...

You're actually in an ok place. That phone--/!\--computer screen will function like download mode most times. Just try your Odin file again and you should be fine.

odin isnt recognizing it. is there a way i can make it recognize it?

I just went through this and got my phone working so no need to panic. Odin wouldnt see my phone but heimdall does. Search for the kb2 heimdall one click package and see if that helps. Since you flashed back to 2.2 youll need to use kb2. If you are on GB i897 bootloaders youll need the kk4 heimdall one click package

Try different ports, if nothing else. Look in the "Captivate Connection Issues" post in my signature for more items.
Also, you will probably want to stop using the AIO Toolbox. That particular piece of software is a little risky, as it flashes a known dangerous bootloader setup.

I found myself in the same boat. 3-button combo won't work, you have to remove battery and usb cable. Replace battery. Plug usb cable into the motherboard directly(rear), hold volume + and volume - then plug the usb cable into your phone. hold volume buttons until your phone boots into download mode. (assuming you have proper drivers installed)

didnt work
tried both heimdels kk2 and kk4 they both say looking for device. and also tried plugging my usb cord into every usb port on my computer still nothing.

Did your drivers unseat? for some odd reason i had to reinstall the drivers to get mine out of soft brick.

drivers
would that be the drivers for the program or the phone? and also on the kk2 and kk4 they download as jar files just like oneclick unbrick did so do i need to unzip them and move the jar file to where the exe folder is then right click and run as administrator or can i just run the jar file i downloaded?
also the the zadig driver program that comes with heindel programs will not see my phone at all when plugged in any usb port but my wife has a captivate also and when i plugged hers in zadig can see it as samsung usb composite device....

Pull battery, pull cable. With phone off, replace battery. Then press volume up only, and power. When screen loads, plug your USB in. If you get the system files screen, press the menu key. Then try Oden. This is what I had to do to get it to work.
Gingerbread through mini kies sucks. Your better off getting Gingerbread here:

didnt work either
tried the just the volume up and power and plugged in usb still stuck in brick mode...

didnt work
the volume up and power then plug usb didnt work still in brick mode. should i try the usb jig with the phone off or on? when i touch pins 4 and 5 with the jig and the phone off the screen will come on but still computer- ! - phone no download mode

got it
finally got into download mode with the jig and alot of wiggling cussing fussing griping and finally praying lol.... thanks to all of you for your help not many strangers will help people anymore so thanks guys for your time i really appreciate it greatly

Unistall your phone's drivers, restart pc and reinstall them.

Drivers
So i dont know what the drivers are I had a friend set this all up for me. also i think if odin id updated that might work. It was current at the time but when a few months pass its time to update!

so i just updated odin and i still got nothing. so what are the drivers? ill try that.

if you dont even know what drivers are in windows, and have other people set things up for you, you should not be flashing your phone in the first place.
any time you buy a device and hook it up to windows you install??? drivers.
Google: "drivers"... a piece of software that tells an operating system how to use a device.
but it is doubtful reinstalling your drivers will help
what version of odin are you using? what are you trying to flash now? what were you flashing when it messed up?
im sorry but this may end up being an expensive lesson not to do things you dont understand. you may have to send your phone away to be jtagged or unbricked.

I still have the phone...!...computer screen so i should be able to flash it back to stock. and even though i didn't add the drivers I know what im doing so don't assume Im a noob at this. and for your information I own 6 Samsung captivates and I work for Mobile Tech Videos so I flash these phone a lot I flash at least twice a day. so Jtaging it will be rather inexpensive but I would like to figure this out so I don't have to spend my time shipping this phone out. I notice that a lot of people have the same trouble as I am having so if I figure out how to solve the worst soft brick (witch I now have) it will be great for A post that covers everything with this screen. I got my phone this way by the USB port falling out during flashing so I'm lucky to even have this screen. I was at gingerbread 2.3.5 stock flashing to ice cream sandwich. I tryed using the USB jig but it failed so all I need to know is what the driver names are so i can try what was recommended. I also think ADB might help solve the problem some how some way. I just got the most recent Odin I was using 1.3 now im using 1.85

Not to be mean or start something, but if you work for mobile tech videos and you don't know what drivers are or you say you flash phones multiple times a day, then you should have a GREAT idea of what to do to fix this problem. Did you flash an ICS ROM and it bootlooped on the first flash, well that is supposed to happen. And Since you were on 2.3.5 then there is no DL mode combo problem. I don't know what to tell you. use your resources and Google it, or better yet let me Google that for you...
