i think i bricked my captivate - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know what I did but I can't get my phone to do anything. I tried to do a factory reset and now when I turn my phone on all it does is have this little computer voice saying factory reset detected. I tried the whole download thing over 100x's i'm getting pissed and I don't know what to do. I need my phone for work someone please help.

Can you get it into download mode? Put cable into usb on computer ( do not connect to phone ) pull battery on phone. hold down the volume button, plug battery in and then plug into usb should put it in download mode. If you can do that you can use Odin and flash the rom back on the phone. Follow this thread for files and directions.

The resistor in the jig solution cost more than insurance I'm good lol.

Have you tried all the various button combos to get to Download Mode?

yes, I have tried them all. The only thing my phone does is boot the att logo then the galaxy s logo and then the screen turns black but the buttons stay lit.

Sounds like you'd benefit from a JIG, but it looks like you would rather replace the phone.
Good luck

have you seen the cost of the jig procedure. you would to lol

Jig is about 9$ if you do it the quick way, which is cheap. if you can order the breakout board then its about 5$

Have you tried to do a "adb reboot download" during the boot process ??

the little part you connect to your usb cable is 163 bucks

You can just PM me your PayPal address and I'll send over an invoice for you to pay if you'd like. $15 shipped and I can still get one out today.

[Q] The SUPER Bricked Phone

Like, this isn't even funny anymore. My phone is bricked and I've used the Jig. Now it doesn't even go to the download screen, it just skips to a Galaxy S Gt-i9000 screen and when I try to run Odin one click - it gets stuck on File Analysis.
/Worst brick ever

Okay, your phone is obviously getting to the stage that it can receive commands (seeing as Odin can recognize it). Download ADB (android debug bridge). I'm not going to go into a tutorial now. Ask if you need one, I'll write one.
Once you have that downloaded and installed, go to the directory containing adb.exe and type "adb reboot download" without the quotes. Your phone should reboot into download mode.
Edit: Found this standalone ADB file, in case you don't want to download and install the whole SDK. Props to velnens123.
BTW; I'm assuming you already have drivers for your phone installed. If not, this will not work, nor will pretty much anything else.

Never heard that one before, but don't think that's possible. Some of the guides I've read suggest placing the resistors on the outside places of the usb port, not on any specific prong. Regardless, if his computer recognizes the phone (which it does... Odin can see it), then ADB should work perfectly.

Those are the ones you need. Dunno if you have x64 or x32 Windows, but that file should have both.
Also, be sure to run ADB more than once. If you get Device Not Found, do not close the command prompt window, try unplugging and replugging the phone and wait for Windows to make it's hardware detected noise, then try again.
Yeah, the jig needs to be on pins 4&5, closest ones to headphone port iirc. Never had to use one personally but pretty sure that is what I've read.
jig can and will turn your phone in if the wrong prongs are touched
Thread is getting off topic; there are more than three posts about the same fix without a reply from the OP. Give it a rest...
Anyway, any proper jig should, should, be made with an actual mini USB, not just shoving the resistors into the phone, though it would work, it's just a lot less safe.
I have to agree with every one. I have had to make and use a jig. Sense I had it i tested all the how to's here and if you are not touching the right pins in the port (i highly suggest using a USB plug in) then all it will do is turn it on. They have to be touching pins 4 & 5 otherwise it will just boot up

Have you fixed it yet?
I bricked my captivate pretty badly about 1.5 months ago too but i built a jig and fixed it. It doesn't sound like you've done that yet, though...
If i were you I'd build a jig and make sure the pins and resistances are correct and try again. I've heard the resistance from the skin on your fingers can affect it enough that it not work.
I attached a picture showing which pins to connect on a micro-usb "plug in"
Good luck,
Eric

Never bought a jig... never really had to (I just got mine replaced under thirty days). I can't give feedback on someone I've never bought from, though he seems to have some considerable rep (positive feedback). I can recommend though, this http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=100
Though for considerably more ($13.00), I can guarantee that that one will work.

I found a way to actually brick the cappy

Im retarted wasnt paying attn, too sleepy.
I flashed the stock pit and tar from an epic onto the cappy and now it wont even turn on. Wont respond to anything.
Cant get it in to download. No life at all,Shes dead captain, kinda thing.
So it started out i was going to flash back to something other than trident/cm7.
Im bought the car dock and was going to use the kernal so the dock would actually work.
Well it was like any other flash ive done countless times.. Till odin preformed an illegal operation and then it dawned on me what i did.. It was still in download but the computer didn't recognize it any longer. So power off and try to go back to dl mode.. the phone wont respond at all. The power button does nothing.. Plugging it in does nothing..
Im pretty sure its dead, thoughts? other than the flamming for being a newb.

So you had the 3 button combo working before?
Have you
1 Open Odin one click or the full version to flash what you want
2 plug in the cable to your computer
3 Hold the vol up/down buttons
4 Plug in micro usb to phone?
If that doesn't work try the same process but do this.
1 Open Odin one click or the full version to flash what you want
2 Remove battery from phone
3 Plug phone to computer and hold vol up/down
4 Push battery in
Try those methods if you haven't already. If they don't work a jig might be your best option to get the phone to DL mode.
And a jig seems to work when you really think it wouldn't but try either of these methods first. I was stuck last week when my phone would not power or anything and the second method worked for me.

It sounds dead sir. No idea what ODIN did, but if it's not responding to the power, charger, usb, combo-tricks, etc. It sounds like it's been perma-bricked
If it's still under warranty, it's certainly worth trying to get it replaced... "What the hell is wrong with this phone? It won't turn on anymore?!"

I find it hard to believe since a bad flash killed my battery from 96%. But I'm not there so I can't say otherwise. The homemade jig thing from radioshack did not work for me though. I had to use one that was made by one of the members here. I had it plugged in, popped in the battery, and it fired up. Try a couple different combos and see if you get lucky. If I remember correctly it was like 3 tries for me
Yep, verified she's dead..
I hacked a usb cord, and teseted it on an Epic. worked great for the epic..
but the same method on the cappy and she's still dead no life..

how did you make the jig? i bricked mine not to long ago... i didnt use the 301k resistor that you hear about in other threads... i went to radio shack bought a pack of 100k resistors and a pack of 1k .... i soldered three of the 100k and one of the 1k, end to end... then soldered it to the 4 and 5 pin on the stripped charger plug.... this will work... the firmware/kernal/rom changes you have made shouldnt affect the phones ability to get into download mode....

you dont know what your doing then... if the jig you use from the members worked then you deffinately didnt make urs right.... search these threads there are pictures of what pins to use... you actually dont even have to solder them... just stick the stripped down plug in and touch the ends of the jig to the correct pins... however... do not touch the the actual wires of the jig as it will change the resistance, if that happens it will appear that the jig doesnt work... this is SIMPLE! and if you cant get it to work then youre not following directions, also as he said above.. it doesnt matter that you had 80% before... make sure your battery is charged and try your jig again... that is if you even made one to begin with...

Cut the guy some slack. Unless you know him or work with him, how do you know he hasn't?
Anyway. Look, I had a similar issue with odin. I didn't run it as admin on win7 and it froze about half way. I unplugged and popped the battery, next thing, it wouldn't start. Since I knew my phone wouldn't work with the 3 button, stock, I tried something else. I let the phone sit for about 5 minutes, came back, put in battery, held the volume buttons as I inserted the usb. Snapped right into download mode.
Not everything works for the same device. It could be that your jig has something wrong with it. Just a thought.
But a hint for the community, unless you know the person you are speaking to personally, don't assume he's lazy and hasn't made his jig.

MobileTech 'Jig' NOT working

I've had not luck with any button combination, battery pulling, pulling/installing the usb jib etc.
I have had NO luck.
I have noticed that the phone will go blank and NOT show the (phone-!-desktop) icon.
Please advise. Any and all attempts to put the phone into download does not work. The Jig actually just keep the phone screen, that's it.
The screen/ phone shows the 'phone ! computer' screen.
You are trying to use the jig with the phone powered off, right? Trying to use it with the phone on will not work at all.

ODIN recognizes a device. What then? Reinstalling anything failed.
Then its not the Jig's issue its either you doing it wrong or a faulty cable. Basics run ODIN as admin and put your phone in DL mode. Connect your phone to a Mother board usb hub and that should work. If that doesn't work then your cable could be faulty.

Bootloader/Fastboot cable found.... I think. (Marquee & P970)

Since our phones are so close, I thought I would post this here for feedback and ideas.
Monkeying around last night in Recovery Mode with the phone tethered to the PC. I wasn't paying close attention to the cord and the connector had started to come out of the phone plug and was slightly crooked. Suddenly the recovery menus stop working and up pops the white box with the yellow arrow coming out of it and the little android standing in front of it. FASTBOOT MODE?????
(This is when I noticed the cable position.)
I reseated the connector and then opened a command prompt on my PC and was able to enter "fastboot devices" and recieved an ID string back.
Then foolishly I tried to see if I could use the adb command to reboot into fastboot. NO luck, it just rebooted the device.
I tried going backi nto recovery and replicating the position of the connector but was not able to repeat my luck.
This makes me think that a USB Jig may be needed for our phones to enter that mode like some of the Galaxy phones.
Thoughts?
Just discovered these items

Will these cables allow us to enter fastboot? They say for "Service Mode" and "Flash/Unlock".
Has anyone tried or know if they work?

[Q] Phone Completely Unresponsive

So, I tried to update my Captivate to Gingerbread via Kies to prep it for CM10, and it hung on the 'Firmware Upgrade' Eventually, I pulled the plug and tried the 'Emergency Recovery' That ended up hanging too. And now my phone is completely unresponsive.
I don't see the Computer-- >Phone icon, I can't boot into download mode, nothing, just a black screen.
I tried pulling the battery, sim card, etc. and nothing. Plugging it into the wall also has zero noticeable effect. Am I SOL or is there some hope of resurrecting this beast?
If a Jig doesn't put ya in Download mode...then it sounds like u need the assistance of someone like mobiletechvideos.com

As long as your phone is charged, a jig might work. You don't need to be getting response from your phone for it to work.
JTAG is last resort but if ever needed, mobiletechvideos .com offers it.
