Anyone Experience this?
Phone was on stock firmware from AT&T (never been rooted)
Plugged Phone Into the computer & opened Odin3Excution v1.00 & booted the phone into Download Mode and clicked Start on Odin. looked back at the phone minutes later and the phone had a full green screen. waited & waited and neither the phone or Odin were making progress. pulled the phone off the USB pulled the battery. restarted the computer and tried again. Now the phone will not boot at all not even the at&t smart phone screen and it wont boot into recovery or download mode.
The phone is being processed through warranty, I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this or knows what happened. Thanks!
BTW the phone was charged 100% and the sim & sd card werent in the device.
Move to Question Thread
Can a Admin move this to the question section. Sorry for posting in Dev.
Very interesting. Never heard of this. Pull the battery out and wait lets say 1h
Then plug the battery back and hold both volume buttons while inserting the USB. Dont touch the power button.

You can try not waiting at all at first. Just pull it out, put it it and follow what I said earlier.
i had a green screen in the middle of a flash back to stock with ODIN one click (every usb device stopped working on my machine at once)
fired it back up in download mode and odin'd it...no problem
Yep.. Mine too, two times, except that the screens was Light Blue and Yellow..
Moved to Q&A.
Lol funniest thing that I read this thread and then thought, wow must be one of the lucky one's cause that never happened. Next thing i know I go to flash back to stock and when i look over it was the green screen. I was like NOOOOO! So now im trying to install the drivers on my bro's comp since my windows partition is being a...well you know. Tried to use heimdall but I don't have the stock bootloader....just the sbl. Can anyone throw me a bone?

Advice, if you don't wanna risk it, find a win machine and use odin one click downloader
Sorry to resurrect and old thread, but it was either this or start a new thread for the same problem.
I was flashing back to stock from Mosaic and this happened. Green screen and nothing else. Now it won't turn on or go back into download mode. Think a jig will help this?.
Edit: Waited about 10 mins and tried again. IT LIVES!!!!
it is worth a try of jig if key combo does not work.
the same thing just happened to me. i was using odin3excution v1.00 to flash back to stock before taking the phone in to AT&T to get the warranty replacement. i got the teal/green/blue screen at factortrfs, it just sat there and killed everything usb on my computer. i pulled the battery and tried to reboot into download/turn it on/plug it in, no response whatsoever. i have the battery pulled and im waiting to try again, but if that does nothing, what can i do? i could take it in and tell them it did this in the middle of the kies update, but is that even believable? any help is appreciated, i don't have a jig and making one is last resort. thanks brothersss

Need some help trying to figure out how to make my Captivate turn on...I press power and get the AT&T slash screen and then the galaxy s logo loads for about 3 minutes and goes to blank dark screen with the capacitive buttons lit. this is not good because my **** won't boot into recovery either
You should flash to stock then...pull battery, hold volume buttons and plug in usb with odin loaded and ready on the computer. There's plenty of threads to help you out
Sent from my phone so excuse the spelling errors
Funnily enough... My phone just did that too. I was installing Mort Widget and it just totally bricked...
I'm rather p!ssed at this...
Course this was after it deleted all my email accounts and SMS.
What you'll need.
Odin (search or look in any of the ROM/Firmware threads, for example the i9000 ROM or unofficial JH2 or JH3 ROM)
Your USB cable.
The firmware files.
Steps:
Remove battery, SIM card and micro SD card.
Open Odin on the computer.
Put the battery back in.
Plug in the USB cable to the phone.
Hold both volume up and down.
With VOL up/down held in, plug usb cable to the computer.
Your phone will show the beloved DOWNLOADING yellow image.
Odin:
Simply select the rom/firmware you want to flash to and enjoy.
I can confirm this will not overwrite the phone's internal 16gb storage, which is where most apps save backups to.
Future steps:
Before trying anything crazy, copy the entire phone internal 16gb storage to your computer. If you brick, you can always get a new captivate, copy the junk back and run a restore.
I recommend Titanium backup (donate the $6, the backup/restore is SUPER SUPER fast) along with Clockwork recovery. Clockwork's Nandroid makes full kernel backups and you can boot to recovery from the phone itself. No more adb reboot download or adb reboot recovery.
sorry for my english i have a 19000m the one from bell my phone boot with the GALAXY S LOGO WITH THE MUSIC BUT AFTER THAT BLACK SCREEN CAN I REPAIR THAT ?
Yes, odin is about your only hope here... Even if you boot into the bios and try to do a factory reset it will come up with error after error...
Reflashing will totally wipe and start fresh.
I am curious however. I think i isolated where my problem came from but I am still curious...
Did you try to sideload anything?
It happened to me twice with Bell's Vibrant version. The first time, just after one week after getting it (not rooted). They simply gave me a brand new one.
The second one took 3 week to go dead. Knowing my way around Linux Embedded systems, this time I investigated the issue. In recovery mode, there were error messages saying that the system could not fine the internal flash memory partitions. I could confirm from the kernel messages that partitions on internal sdcard had disappeared. I did factory reset, reflash original stock firmware with Odin, but it did nothing.
I Sent the phone back for repair and three weeks later, they gave me another one (probably refurbished!!).
My phone just turns on, with a black screen and the capacitive buttons lit up. Nothing else happens. When I try to go into download mode, it only goes back to this black screen. I does however detect that the phone is connected driver wise on the computer, but does not show up in Hemidall or Odin. I've tried just about everything
i used ODIN to resotore the phont to stock
but when it finsh...i get black screen
and the phone dose not work or do anything.

Does it light up or display anything and then go black, or does it just do nothing? If it does nothing, you're probably bricked, but try this anyway just in case your phone still has some life in it:
open Odin; press and hold both volume buttons and plug in your USB. If Odin lights up yellow, flash.
If that doesn't work, buy or build a jig, use it, and see if it goes into download mode. If it doesn't, plug the cable in anyway and see if Odin recognizes it. If it does, flash.
If that doesn't work, you're probably bricked. JTAG or Unbrickable Mod are your options from here, neither of which I personally know anything about but you can search around and find someone who can help you.
Hard Bricked= No signs of life, black screen no matter what, no response to USB plug in. Nothing but Unbrickable mod or JTAG will fix, I WOULD SUGGEST getting Unbrickable because you only have to get it once, and it cost the same as JTAG.
Soft Bricked= DL mode access is available(by jig or button combo and usb), recovery too, has some life in it. Can use ODIN/HEIMDALL to fix it.
when the flashing finsh and say done...and show the green light in the ODIN. the phone did not start up
dose this mean it break or dead charger?
as m not shure if the battery is full or not.
anyway i can pass the battery by over it with cuted USB cable?

If you got a green light, I would think it should at least turn on. However, if it was a successful flash, it should charge with the phone off. A bricked phone and a bad charger would both look the same: dead.
Try a different charger or battery if you think your battery could that dead. However if your battery died during your flash, that could also be the cause of your brick.
i charge the battery...and nothing happend
will the USB JAG solve it?
as i read in some post this will not
i need to send to some one to do it by opeing the phont it self

A jig is worth trying, but I suspect it will not solve your issue. You are correct, you need to send it to someone to have it fixed. Send a PM to AdamOutler or Connexion2005 and they can point you in the right direction.

You moto defy never flashed boot loaders since Motorola always had them locked down, and if you didn't know what you were doing flashing the stock Emma's that had boot loaders then it is not the phones fault. You should never really have to flash boot loaders and that is the ONLY risky part in flashing on these phones. Other than that Samsung cappys are almost TRUELY unbrickable (HARD BRICK) unless you mess up flashing boot loaders. WHICH YOU DID WHETHER YOU KNEW IT OR NOT BY FLASHING THE STOCK ODIN. SEND IT FOR UNBRICKABLE MOD, it is cheap repair and you WONT run into your same mistake ever again.

Hey all, just got my Captivate 2 weeks ago and successfully rooted and flashed with custom ROM following the directions on all the posts here. Last night, while attempting to switch from Paragon 3.0 to Phoenix 4.0, installation was aborted. After several unsuccessful recovery attempts through CWM, I finally followed directions and used Odin-one-click. Odin did its thing and phone rebooted immediately and got stuck in a loop.
ATT screen flashes on and off when phone is powered on. When plugged into PC, phone flashes empty battery and computer does not see the phone. I've tried just about every button combination I've come across and about every permutation of button/battery/USB/Odin combination on the PC to no avail.
Is my last resort the USB jig? Or are there other options? Any and all help would be appreciated. And thank you to all of you whose posts I used to get me this far.
Patiently awaiting any assistance......
If you can't get into dl mode a jig will be needed
Have you used odin before?
Do you know your build number

Take out sim, ext sd, and bat. In your case leave the bat out for like 10 minutes.
Put bat back in
Hold vol up and down
While holding plug in usb

Not sure if this is how you got into this situation in the first place, but did you disable the lagfix before flashing? If not, it may be what caused this.

Did I disable the lagfix? I believe I did, I at least was cognizant of having to disable the lagfix, but it certainly is a possibility. Thanks for chiming in, appreciate all of it.

I cant help. I have no idea how you got your phone in the state it is in and Im not even sure that I know what state that is. You gotta do a little more than tell us that your phone is broken.

I installed everything right good! but I for stupid, will install a rom 2.3.5, but not the bootloader girnderbread install it, when I restart the phone is left alone in att restarts and stays in att, then try to enter download mode and I can not

I bought one of these a long time ago when I soft bricked my phone (went to the ATT screen and then just rebooted over and over) and it worked great cause I couldnt get in download mode either!
Just plug it in your charger/usb port on the phone and bam, your in download mode!

Okay, So I ordered my phone from amazon, It came stock 2.1 eclair, I read the instructions for flashing any rom from stock, well, when i went to put my phone into download mode, it wouldnt do anything, just charge or turn on, so I thought, ehhhh I dont need odin, and downloaded some outdated CWM, the one with green text, and flashed, REMICS-JB. Yes, I know how stupid this was -.- but I did a nandroid hoping if anything went wrong, I could just restore, well now I cannot get into dl mode nor recovery, ACTUALLY I dont know what I did, but it go into recovery mode, and it looked as if it was the lastest, sephamore 6.5 some stuff like that, and tried to restore my nandroid, nothing... so I thought well maybe I can flash REMICS again and it will actually work, NOT, so now Im stuck, Ordered a jig from amazon, stupid Hurricane sandy is messing up my order blah blah blah, Is there anything I can do? Ive tried every trick in the book, looked allllllll over the captivate forums, search everything. And when I try to hold both vol- and vol + plug usb, I getb a circle of white dashes like its about to charge and just freezes, but if I plug into a wall charger, it gives me some weird white charging instead of the orginal green. If ANYONE can help me, or tell me how I got into that sephamore recovery because I dont have a clue on how I did it. Id be so appreciative. Sorry if this is in the wrong thread blah blah, Im new and Just need help, Please and thank you.....:crying:
Using Odin can be frustrating but very effective. When using Odin you should make sure you have your captivate drivers installed in your computer, disable your anti-virus and turn off firewall, if you have any other programs like itunes or htc sync it can prevent the program from running right as well. Make sure you run as administrator and make sure your sim card and micro sd card are out of your phone as well...As far as getting into download mode, have Odin opened and ready to run, hold down both volume buttons and don't let go till your phone shows as added on the program. While holding the volume buttons only put your battery back into your phone and quickly plug your phone into the computer(still holding in the volume buttons) after about 3 seconds your phone will go into download mode and be recognized by odin. You may now release the volume buttons and flash your phone. If I left anything out I aplologize. Good luck.:fingers-crossed:

Haha was already looking at it, I was insterested in making one, but I live out in BFE and radio shack is 20 miles away, only have one usb, so that wasnt much of an option, which is why I ordered a jig, which is being affected by the hurricane. But Im downloading dual boot ubuntu and hopefully unbrickable mod will help, if not I gotta wait till tuesday for the jig. so impatient, all I wanted was REMICS-JB
maybe someone here can help? the other day i was using facebook on my phone and it died, so naturally i put it on the charger not thinking much of it, come back later and try and turn it on. it makes noises, vibrates, and the two buttons at the bottom light up but nothing come up on the screen. its just black. it wasnt rooted and was running on stock, although im not sure what version, i think gingerbread. ive tried pulling the battery many times, and tried getting it to bootin into the recovery stuff. any help on this would be much appreciated.
try this out and let me know
