There have been those that run into problems after installing the XXJP3I9000 update on the Samsung Captivate and attempt to reboot into recovery mode. The issue that they have is that since the Captivate has no physical home button to select an option like you can with the Galaxy S, you can't select an option, and therefore you can't reboot your device regularly. While I am in this same problem and have not figured out a solution, I have started this thread to post what knowledge I have about this issue so that others may help get this issue figured out. If anyone has information on how to fix this problem, please comment below. Let's fix this!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First of all, the key combinations that standardly would work with the original captivate firmware will not work anymore. Pressing all three buttons (Vol+, Vol - and Power) will only power cycle the phone, that is, until you let up on the buttons. Pressing Vol+ and Vol- and then plugging your phone into the computer will also do nothing. (By nothing I mean will take you back to the recovery menu)
Every key combination will only take you back to the recovery menu, so key combinations seem to be out.
If you boot into recovery mode, take out the battery and put it back in, all the while keeping the phone plugged in to the computer, the phone will enter the "POWER RESET OR UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE", which will show your device in windows as being a Samsung USB Composite Device and a Samsung Mobile Modem (gadget serial, Windows 7) While this may be helpful, you cannot run ODIN or ADB in this mode, nor does this allow disk access. If you have Samsung Kies installed, it will detect a device, but will never complete loading it.
Other information with this method: On the phone screen, as well as showing "POWER RESET OR UNKNOWN UPLOAD DEVICE" the screen will also show the following in red:
RST_STAT =0X1
PMIC_IRQ1 =0X0
PMIC_IRQ2 =0x0
PMIC_IRQ3 =0x4
PMIC_STATUS1 =0x40
PMIC_STATUS2 =0x2c
If this helps anybody, it was a pleasure
Another method I found briefly was that after installing Kies, and rebooting the phone into recovery mode (again) my computer detected four new devices, two of them being Samsung Android devices and one being a disk drive. Potentially, without freezing or error, the drivers that are included with the Kies software will detect and allow for disk management while the phone is in recovery mode. Three of the four devices installed without error for me, but the fourth, the actual Android device, continued to say "installing device" until I unplugged the phone out of frustration. It has since not detected those four devices again, and I have yet to figure out how to do that again. The nice thing about that was that although the adb.exe reboot download command did not work, adb.exe did detect the phone. if this is true then rebooting normally or into download mode should be easy.
The last thing I noticed is that button furthest to the left on the main screen on the captivate will close the recovery menu when pressed, and leave the background behind, and then will reopen the recovery menu when pressed again. This is showing me that the four touch buttons are operable, but not configured. If it were possible to reconfigure the actions that pressing these buttons do, then it would be easy to be able to reboot the device normally.
I have compiled information to the best of my ability, and here is a question to ask, that I think will help solve the problem. Can the captivate with I9000 2.2 software run adb in recovery mode?
Comments, Questions, and Most of all, answers would be appreciated for me, as well as for other users with the same problem as I. Hopefully, this thread can be the solving point for this problem.
Many Thanks,
TouchofDestiny
The n00b who isn't a n00b at all
An Update: The reason that the combinations don't work for me or either people is because they (and I) fail to install the captivate kernel, and that is making the volume power button controls useless.
same here i put froyo from the galaxy s i9000 and i cant change the rom or get into recoverymode because buttons dont work man this sucks and 3G or Edge doesnt work.....
You're problem is a little different. If you can't get into recovery mode, than that means you aren't in recovery mode, which means you can use ADB to enter download mode and use Odin to flash your phone. I have given up looking for a solution, and have sent my phone back to AT&T for a replacement. Since I'm still in my thirty day trial period, it doesn't matter if I used different firmware or not. Hopefully others won't get into the situation I had. For me, this thread is complete.

hi,
I solved the same problem doing this:
start odin.
take out battery. plug in USB. press both volume buttons. insert battery while pressing those buttons.
Done. download mode should appear.
yep, same boat
I am in the same position here. I downloaded the froyo leak and installed it with odin, no problem there. Upon startup into froyo, all was good, except my phone was stuck in horizontal mode until I tilted it vertical, *then* it would go horizontal. So basically I am 90 degrees off kilter. I decided to look around for another rom to try, and in the process managed to get stuck in recovery mode. Couldn't tell ya what firmware I have, just what is on the endless recovery screen that I cannot get out of!
I have no external microSD card, only the SIM card, and no way to get it recognized on my XP or win 7 system.
Really, really stuck here, guys. I do have the androidsdk installed, if there is a way to get it to reboot. As it is, adb cannot see the device, so I am looking at a truly bricked phone.
And yes, this is a US phone, which is why the power button and home button are not mapped (I assume).
I am DESPERATE for some help here!
and while I am at it...
I WAS able to get into download mode with the shovel guy originally by using the 2 volume keys+power, usb (odin up), battery in, release power.
No more. No key combo works.
Totally bricked the Samsung, which is supposed to be impossible!

when you are on the i9000 rom the only button that will get you in download mode is the vol down
That's HUGE!
You, sir, are a gentleman, scholar, and all-round smart guy! How did I miss that? I coulda SWORN I was getting into download mode with both volume keys. I've never been so happy to see a little Dalek dude with a shovel in my LIFE. 2 minutes in the one-click installer and now I'm back in business!
Thanks for helping a terrified owner out, and preventing a trip to the AT&T store.
I cannot go to download mode
I have the same problem here. Stuck in the recovery mode after upgrade the froyo and had the orientation problem. How do you go into download mode or power reset or unknown upload mode? Any button combination doesnt seem to work for me.
How do I do?
Please HELP. I am struggling here
Thanks

the key to the i9000 rom/kernel button combo is VOL DOWN + using the USB trick. do not press vol up + down, just the down while you are plugging in the usb cable
i too am stuck in recovery mode. the only way i can get into download mode is by using both volume buttons. just holding the down button just sends me to revoery mode as well. how can i fix my phone in download mode?
nevermind, reinstalled 2.2 and it works now.
Eureka I got it...I think
I installed froyo 2.2 i9000 on my captivate and got stuck in recovery mode...power button doesnt select and when I hold down the up and down vol buttons I couldnt get the downloading icon anymore either. Then I remembered something from another post....
Home + Vol Down + Power = Downloading Icon
It worked for me....let me know if this helped....I'm officially unbricked.
Hey. I'm in the same boat. My Captivate has I9000 firmware running it and it won't run properly. I can't access the settings to enable USB debugging in order to boot in either Recovery or Download using adb and no button combination works for me. I can't use button combos to boot into either Recovery or Download mode.
Does anybody have any idea what is going on and how to fix this?

JPBentley-- Since the I9000 firmware is set to use physical buttons, and the Captivate doesn't contain any, once you get into recovery mode, you cannot get out. The standard Captivate key combinations to get into download mode do not work, as do the combinations to get into download mode via the I9000 firmware. Basically, you get to a dead end. Unless there is some way to flash the phone's ROM outside of download mode, which I doubt, your best bet is to return the phone for a replacement. After haggling around with AT&T for a while, they admitted that installing the I9000 ROM doesn't invalidate your warranty, so they should take it back. They did with mine, and now I'm running the official Froyo leak. Good luck with your new phone!
SOLUTION
For all those that are having this problem, Ive struggled with it & tried EVERY possible button combination & nothing worked.
The ONLY solutions I have found is to use a usb JIG. Take out the battery, sim card & sd card, plug in the Usb JIG & put the batter back in. Give it a couple of seconds & I'tll enter recovery mode without pushing any buttons. You dont even need to push the power button, it's that simple.
Here is an image of how to make one if you are electronically inclined, personally I am not so I found a local electronic parts store & they put on together for me.

If you want, you can also buy one online, I cant post a link becuase Im a new member but just search for "samsung usb jig" on ebay.com & youll find plenty.
shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=samsung+usb+jig&_sacat=See-All-Categories
yes, i think you need to build a jig or buy one online if you want to play with custom rom. you may not need it now, but you may need it just in case.

I have the same problem, i can get into recovery mode. I can also get to download mode but Odin doesnt see my phone and neither does adb. By pulling the battery with no buttons pushed it goes straight into recovery mode. Looks like I have a brick now. If anybody has any suggestions please let me know.

That's not even close to a brick. Are you using a usb port closest to the motherboard on your pc? Is your cable good? Make or buy a jig, that will put your phone into download mode.

Hi
first of all thank you for so much info.
I spend more than 10 hours looking for a solution on other posts but can't fins a solution.
my phone is bricked and i am not able to get to the download mode or the recovery. before I bricked it I was able to get the download mode with adb with since i tried odin, i have the phone --!-- computer
I am in canada so returning it would be a hassle. any help would be much appreciated to get to the download mode
thank you very much
Download Odin.
Take out the SIM, SD card, and battery. Launch Odin, replace the battery, and plug the USB cord in, and just press down on the volume up and down buttons.
This should boot it right into download mode, then flash with Odin.
This phone is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to brick.
man, i tried that maybe 50 times no kidding!
still no download mode

Hold the volume buttons first then plug in the usb. Thats what works for me. You have to have odin open first like he said.
just tried and still nothing....
if somebody is located in montreal, i would love to meet them to check that out

Having Odin open makes no difference if his button combo is not working. Unfortunately some people are not aware that there phone does not have the 3 button combo working.
what is your solution when you don t have the 3 button combo working?
The only thing you can do if there is no way to reach download mode is to contact At&t or samsung and see if they can repair the phone for you.
Have you tried using a different usb cable, someone mentioned that some USB cables dont work right with the captivate, try the one that came with the phone.
I know odin doesnt matter, but if he is going to flash with odin it helps to have it open first is all I meant. As far as that screen and no three button combo I think you are done... bricked... sorry, dont take my word for it though.
I could enter download mode with key combination before applying Cog's Beta5.5...
I've returned my cappy for exchange.
I am trying with the cable that came with the phone. I don't have another one.
I just bought this phone out of ebay. I will give it this week end to try and find a solution.
I really don't see any as of now but we'll see...
I will try return the phone to the ebay seller as i asked him before buying it if you could go into download mode! and he said yes!
man, I hope i find a solution!
what happens when you try and start your phone normally -- boot screen loop, anything?
Can you get into recovery mode?
when I try to start it normal I get the phone--!--computer
I am sure I tried recovery mode without any success. I am telling I spent so much time on this forum that my wife is going to start being jalous
How do you get to recovry mode again? I tried so many things, that I don't remember
you can't get the phone to be recognized on your computer? Could do ADB to boot into download.
But the battery trick should work.
Pull the sim, external sdcard, and battery.
Hold down the volume buttons and plug in the USB
Then jam the battery back in.
It might take a few times to get it.. but it should get into download mode. I just restored mine doing this trick when it was stuck on this screen.
Really we need to have a youtube vid of this technique

Hold down both volume buttons then hold down the power button until the boot s screen flashes two times then release the power button.
BTW - although it is a LOOOOONG video.. this might help folks out:

Not sure if it will help, but I've also read that you should use the actual motherboard usb ports and not a hub or any kind of "external" ports (i.e. the ports on the front of the tower)
i did all that stuff.
I ended up returning it to the ebay seller who will send me another captivate.
thanks guys
My download was working on cog 2.2 beta before i flashed back to stock using odin. Now when I try to enter download mode i just see the charging symbol. So the only thing that has changed is software. Could odin3 remove my download mode? What can i do?
Its been a rough night for me. I did a Nandroid backup which turned out I needed to restore after something else failed. After restore I did not have what I expected.
Anyway, to make a long story short, I ended up in a situation that no matter what I did, I could not get into download mode. Only recovery.
The good news is that after trying several different things, I finally found I had the original base rom I was using still on the SD card (even though I had done a Master Clear). I guess maybe the only thing that will empty the SD card is to format it.
I have no idea what I would have done had I not had a Clockwork zip on there.
Hi
I tried to remove Bejeweled using a program I downloaded (I can't remember the name). It said it would reboot twice, but it seemed to have frozen after the first reboot, so I pulled the battery.
Now, every time I try to turn the phone on, it goes into ClockworkMod 2.5.1.0 and stays there. None of the buttons do anything at all, so I can't get to any of the options.
Samsung Kies and Odin 3 don't seem to recognise the phone when I plug it in by USB and I can't find any button combinations that stop it going to ClockworkMod.
I only got the phone a few days ago, so I'm not sure if I can send it back and claim the Froyo update on Kies broke it. I would prefer to fix it myself though. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
So can you get into download mode or not?
No, I can't get to anything other than clockworkmod, and that freezes.
When I plug the usb lead in, it turns on without pressing the power button, but still freezes at clockworkmod. Hope that helps.

GOOD
What you want to do is, pull battery out, put it back in, Hold volume down and Home button, THEN put in the usb lead, That should put you into download mode, then you can flash thru odin
Pull ur battery so phone is completely dark hold the 3 button combo for the download mode the phone should power in download mode or last option is get a jig for a pound on ebay

Thanks for your help. When I tried azzledazzle's solution, it went to frozen clockworkmod again, but the Galaxy S screen at the start doesn't show. Also, my version has never responded to any key combos, even when it worked.
I have attached a picture of what Odin shows when I put the USB lead in. Not sure if I can do anything with it. By the way, I've never used Odin before so I don't know if there are any settings I need to change.
I'll order one of those 'jigs' but hopefully I can get it fixed before that arrives.
you have selected 512 pit, but you havent ticked re-partition, that is whats causing your problem.
you say your phone never responded to button combo's. does that mean you have never been in download mode ??
The 'jig' has arrived and put me straight into download mode! Definitely recommended for anyone who can't use the three button combos. I have used a new rom with the 512 pit and repartition unchecked, and Android 2.2.1 installed fine. This also solved the button combo problem.
In reply to azzledazzle, the only time I saw download mode before the jig arrived was when Kies mucked up an update.
Hello people,
I recently installed GalaxySense Rom (Search "oozeroo" on Google) for my Samsung Captivate AT&T, and it was working fine, until I changed a few settings, then it said it was going to Hot Boot, so the hot boot worked fine. Then, I turned off my phone and turned it back on, and it does not boot. I tried some stuff (check the Situations). My phone is stuck at "Galaxy S Cyanogen(Mod)" (Picture Included!!!)
Situation:
-No Download Mode
-No recovery mode
-Flashed this rom with rom manager (wiped dalvik cache only)
-TRIED installing Clockworkmod recovery, but wont work (not booting into recovery)
-Only an internal SD inside phone, 14 Gigs.
(Ask me for more info if needed please)
Thank you so much, and please help.

What key combo are you trying for recovery? You have a JIG laying around? If not, I'd go get one regardless of how invincible you think your phone may be. Maybe you could try Adam's one-click unbrick. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310 I don't know what conditions need to be met for it (your phone) to be recognized, but I'd give it a shot anyway.
I am using:
take out battery, hold both volume buttons, plug in USB, then put in battery, all with both volume buttons held the whole time.
No, I do not have a jig, I want to get one though

Well..... has galaxysense been actually ported to the captivate yet? I doubt this'll work but.... try vol down + home + power. You could vary vol down with vol up for recovery mode as well. Like I said.... doubt they'll work.
It has ported to captivate, there is a captivate section on website
Home button? you mean the touchscreen/virtual home button? When do you press it:when it lights up?
-btw, i tried the brick fix thing, but it didnt recognize my phone, because it was only booting

I wonder if it'd be recognized by ADB if you install Nexus S drivers. try using that as the drivers for the marked captivate in dev manager. http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#
If it changes name to Android Composite ADB interface, then you can ADB into recovery and reflash. I don't see how but if you don't have a jig.... might as well try.
(just raised your thanks meter!)
can I cut off an old charger that fits the captivate, and use that?

For a JIG? Possibly. You have to jump pins 4 and 5 with 300k worth of resistors. if you look in my sig, there's also a guide to just making one without a USB. Regardless of how you apply the resistance to your phone, you still need 301k. There is a window. I've seen 294k jigs work, so just as long as resistance is in a certain range across those two pins, it will work.
ok, thanks

Hi
I have Captivate I897 at&t
Two days ago I successfully installed Cyanogen 7.1 and I used the phone for some calls and some phone poweron/poweroff with any problem.
Today I copied on sd card the gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip for some google apps and I used Rom manager and clockwork (version 3.0.0.5) for reboot recovery.
BIG PROBLEM
Any recovery/download mode has appeared!
Only cyanogen mod logo HANG during startup, tried many times and same issue.
Any solution found for enter recover/download mode working for me, no combination of buttons work.
How I can unbrick my Captivate?

remove battery, hold volume + and volume -, then insert battery and plug in cable to computer. this should put you in download mode.
If that does not work, grab a heimdall or Odin one-click from the development forums and flash it.

Might be kinda hard to use Odin or Heimdall if you can't get in to DL mode.
OP, what Boot Loaders are you using? If you are on I9000 BL's then you need to pop out the battery and replace. Hold down (Volume-Down) and hit the power button. Then you can plug it up to the computer and use Odin or Heimdall. If it's I897 BL's then you do as Adam stated above. If that doesn't work try it again without the SIM card or the SD card. If it still doesn't work you'll need to make/buy a JIG and force it.

Sorry... yeah... if that does not work use a 301kohm jig. Once you're in download mode, you can use those tools.

Not working I see the battery recharging green status.
The only solution is makea JIG and force it?
