[Q] Bricked Captivate & Micro USB for data broken...

Hello everyone,
I installed a rom on my rooted phone and it did not go well. Now the phone is bricked.. Normally I would be able to fix this. But a few months ago the phone stopped being recognized by my computer. Still charges but the port is damaged some how and no pc will recognize it. I can not get it into recovery I have tried and tried again and again. Still stuck in android with the triangle around it. And sometimes I will get a symbol with a phone-triangle-pc. Does this mean it is done, shot, bricked for ever? LOL

You could replace the micro usb port...

Connect phone to pc and run samsung kies it will repair files then open kies, go to tools and install drivers then get into download mode and flash with odin

I can fix this. Send me a PM.

I am having a similar issue. My phone is soft bricked on the AT&T splash screen with no ability to get it into recovery. The micro USB is completely non-functional.
I am (was?) running CM7 when the problem occurred. I have considered just about every option I can think of (and have had the phone together and apart twice to see if I could get the port working... no dice) including having the phone boot from an external SD card but this still seems to need some ability to get into recovery, which I do not have.
Any creative solutions (short of just buying a new phone...)

You could send it to the guy above to have a new micro usb port installed or MobileTechVideos.com. I had them fix a hard brick on my Captivate and would use their services again in a heart beat if I needed to.

For help on getting download mode.

Nothing works
Thanks for ur reply.
I tried every thing except jig..... ordered one will try after getting it. when i plug my device to usb it just shows a battery symbol like getting charged and it restarts the process even if i dont press the power button. if i press the power button it starts and shows the AT&T logo and restarts continuosly. cant even get into the download mode. Do you know in what state it is? I mean is it Bricked or some thing new issue?

A jig will get you dl mode. As for why you can't get anything to work, its possible you have a phone with the 3 button options disabled. DO NOT FLASH THE 3 BUTTON FIX. Just use the jig, get dl mode, and flash one of the stock gingerbread packages. Your button combos will be fixed, and if you flash kk4, you will have the latest stock ROM.

loading os on the sd card
I will try it out as soon as i get the JIG. I have a question that how can i load the GB os on to the sdcard to get it loaded as my phone doent have any os on it. while copying the os i think it is corrupted and it is not loading when loading using the recovery mode and selecting load from the sd card option

As I recall, you usually can't see your external SD card while in CWM recovery. If you want to flash something from there, it has to be on the Internal SD.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's the way it's set up.

So is this link helpful for me to reset my phone to factory defaults after getting into download mode?? here is the link

That file will flash your phone back to stock Froyo KB2. Your phone will be back to the way it would be if it came from the factory (with the exception of any photos, music, or other files you stored on the internal SD card).

[Q] Galaxy SIII I9305. Not start anymore.

Hi! About two weeks ago my phone did not recognize my SIM card. Phone is rooted of course. So I restore my org ROM and sometimes my SIM vas recognized and sometimes not. I decidet to buy a new SIM and SD card reader. After replacing it problem did not go away, so I start diging depper and I found it that my IMEI is null/null. For last week I was trying to do every tutorial, guide and other things on net and of course this great forum to fix it. No luck unfortunatly. Today when I hold HOME+VOL BUTTON+POWER trying to connect in odin mode, here come the wierd thing phone was enter some kind of SDCARD MODE and copy some thing from SD card, there was about four rows of text something like SDCARD MODE, COPYING (I do not know what) FROM SDCARD, COPY FROM SD CARD COMPLETE, (I do no know what). Then phone turned off and do not power up anymore. I was tryin to remove battery. Phone was connected to computer while this wierd thing happen. Have anybody an idea of what happend?

Recovering IMEI And Data Connection
•Make sure you have Samsung Kies or the Samsung USB Driver installed on your PC.
•Download and Extract: Odin3 3.04.zip - 457.11 KB to your PC if you don't already have it.
•Download and Extract: Param_Bin_I9305.zip - 612.14 KB to your PC. http://d-h.st/Fhb
•With your Phone Switched Off, press and hold: 'VOL DN' + 'HOME' + 'POWER' to enter Download Mode.
•Connect your phone to your PC via USB Cable and start Odin.
•Check your phone is connected by seeing if a COM Port in a Blue box is present under ID:COM.
•Press the 'PDA' Button and select the 'Param_Bin_I9305.tar.md5' file you extracted from the Zip Archive earlier.
•Press the 'Start' Button and wait for it to finish flashing. If successful, you will see a Green Box with 'PASS!'.
•Wait for your phone to reboot then go to your Dialer and press: *#06#. You should now see your IMEI and your Data Connection will be back

Thanks for your help. I tried this for 10 times but no help. But at the moment my phone doesent even power on so I cannot enter odin mode or do anything on it.

Do maybe someone know solution for my problem!?

ensure that the battery is not drained,flash costs much~
you should verify whether the forementioned method have been finished correctly.
method of the guy upstairs has a base,if you didnt achieve,it will not work.
it is the drivers installed in first step, that makes your dead phone recognized in fastboot mode,way to check whether it installed well is the blue(green?) box in the sixth step,if you didn't see it,proved that what you were doing was nonsense.
All above has been done and still can't start,well,

SD card mode copy's everything from the sd card to the bootloader or the emmc.. Not sure which one.. But it renders it complete hard brick (not able to turn on at all)

So. Is there any hope for my phone? Or mybe I try to send it to service? If its hard bricked they will not reciognize that phone was rooted and have lost IMEI... Is that right? Or will they see that phone was rooted etc?

Phone in download mode but computer not detect the phone

hi everyone
I have a samsung cappy ATT with CM10 before and it was not detecting my sim card so i decided to flash it back to stock so i can use it with sim.
I was so noob and went to CWM and wipe out everything (whatever i see on the menu that i see i can delete, i deleted them). Then now my phone it stucks in ATT logo when i turn on and my pc wont detect even in download mode. I am not able to boot to CWM so I can't flash with zip file. I did some research here and tried 3 different USB cable and 3 different desktop(XP and vista) and none of them detect my phone :crying:.
Just want to see if any expert here know the solution and help me out. My model is 1007 so i dont need a JIG to go download mode. I love my cappy and really it to back to life.
Please help

[Q] problem with usb port and software

I have an AT&T Captivate, I successfully installed ICS ROM using internal SD card method, but then I decided to go back to GB through a backup that I made before I install ICS, when I tried to restore a backup using CMW recovery, some kind of error appeared after I have formatted the phone.
after I restart the phone it seems that there's no rom installed and the phone won't start I can't even get to the recovery mode the screen becomes white and the phone get very hot but nothing else.
I tried to get a new software using odin but then I remembered that I used to have a usb issue the usb port wasn't welded in place in the right way so the phone was charging but not recognized by the computer so I think the power legs are welded correctly but the data legs aren't.
I took the phone to a person who can make this welding good but then he told me that one of the usb welding pads on the motherboard are missing and that he can't weld it and he need something like a blueprint or a map for the board to but a wire instead of that missing pad.
so I'm asking, is there any way to install a software that doesn't need a USB connection and if not is there a place where I can find this map for the motherboard??????
plzzzz help guys

I once had my Cappy seemingly hard bricked, black screen and nothing else. I was able to use one of the alternate methods of getting into Download / Recovery Modes to reflash the phone. See -- Captivate - PC Connection Issues, Download Mode and Recovery Mode Help I used one of the methods where I pulled the battery, and then held a button combo while I replaced the battery.
It sounds like you have a custom recovery, either CWM or TWRP. If so, you may be able to put a ROM on the external_SD using your PC. Once you have done so put the microSD back in the phone and see if you can flash from recovery.
