possibly bricked??

I just recieved a new captivate via a warranty issue. Welll this one came with froyo 2.2 already loaded. My last capitvate had serendipity 6.4 installed and had no problems with flashing that one. Since I go my new captivate I wanted to try flashing a new ROM of course. So I decided on continuum v4. Here is where my problem started I opened odin3 plugged the phone in while holding the volume buttons and sent it into download mode. then clicked start on odin and let it do its thing. it got where it said "removed" in the bottom part and "RESET" up in the green bar. after looking at my phone it was just a black screeen with the battery charging symbol loading. it would come up and then disappear and come back up. it kept doing this for a while. this is where i made the mistake....after waiting a while i unplugged the phone from the computer to see if it would even start or anything. Well of course it wont start at all. it gets stuck at the AT&T screen and wont go any further. I can't get it back into download mode and dont know what to do? is my phone a paperweight now? IF anyone can help, i would greatly appreciate it. Either via here or phone. I've got my sim card back in my backflip right now.
what do you guys think?

Use a jig... search on how to make it. Its decently simple and it costs 99 cents for resistors and a cut up usb cable

Can you get into recovery?
You could also buy a jig, but idk if im allowed to post the link so just pm me if you need it.
You could look up more than one way of getting into download mode. (there are several) Ill see if I can find them for you.

i try holding the volume buttons and plugging the phone in which worked to get into download mode just before i ****ed it up. it doesn't work anymore it just loads the battery gauge and flashes on and off....if i hold the volume buttons and hit the power button the at&t screeen just flashes on and off infinitely

Try this, I found it by googling
I've had success with this method to get into Download Mode:
1. Remove battery, SIM and microSD from phone (if you have one)
2. Wait at least 10 seconds with the phone in this state
3. Plug your phone into your computer (this step has always been optional for me)
4. Hold Volume Up/Down, don't let go!
5. While holding both volume keys, insert the battery

no luck at all with that method
my question is what caused odin to fail on me? do i need a different version of odin to flash a captivate that came factory with froyo 2.2?

Lot of things could of happened, mainly because something might have happened to the wired connection between the pc and phone during the process. Im sorry I don't know the answer to the second question though. Maybe because the odin you were using was going back to stock "eclair" and not stock froyo?

Eclair, froyo, and now gingerbread same odin process.
Unless it's the one click version which I think only comes in eclair flavored.

Then the only other option I can think of for him is a jig.

i was using the odin3 one click downloader trying to flash 2.1 to my stock 2.2 captivate. are you saying that there is a different version of odin that i'll need to use if my cappy came factory with 2.2?

i guess im on my way to radio shack now to find some 100k ohm resistors.

Yes there are a few versions of odin but, either will work fine ... It's been reported that the one click will remove the 3 button fix in some phones with build numbers later than 1010, that info can be found under the battery btw, I've personally never had that problem, I flash and mod 3 captivates 1. Is a1010, 2. Are 1012's. All I've used is the one click version and they all still have 3 button combo.
There is an odin that flashes the 3 button combo while it flashes to stock, if you either never had it or have lost it ... Which I suggest you look for and use after you get jiggy with it so you'll have the combo for future use.

after making the jig with the resistors and everything, instead of going to download mode it just tries to turn the phone on and flashes the at&t screen on and off repeatedly....not sure what to try now

Scratch that. Was doing it barehanded and it would just try turning it on. I used some gloves and got it into download mode. Now I just need to plug it into my computer with odin alredy opened and once it recognizes and click start and let it do its thing right? And just don't unplug it right? What should I do if odin freezes up?

dont use ODIN one click. try AIO captivate toolbox 3.0. it uses heimdall which i have found to be much better for me

might have another problem now. i think the battery is dead on my phone. **** just doesn't want to work out for me. if i plug the phone in all i get is a battery icon that will flash on for a sec, then disappear. it will do this and only this forever. FML

Do you mean when the phone is off?

[Q] Yet another HELP IM BRICKED thread

Yeah i know, another jackass that is stupid and creates another thread for this. I have had experiance with my phone going with odin and all that good stuff, so i thought i could do the same to my co-workers phone. But he didnt have the 3 button combo working so i just used adb. I got into download started odin got stuck on file anyalisis so i unplugged it... jackass mistake. even after reading all the people that say dont. so now when i power it on its just phone ! computer. NO ATT screen. so are the bootloaders fried? i doubt that cause it still powers on. No button combo will work with usb. (vol up/down -usb, vol up/down/power/ -usb) none. i have tried everything. just goes to phone ! comp. Do i really have to tell him to wait for a jig? And will a jig fix it??? Thats what i am mostly worried about. i dont wanna pay for JTAG. Thanks guys

yup a jig will work. as long as it lights up its not completely fuxxored. could also build a ghetto rigged jig from radioshack and a microUSB end too if ya'll dont wanna wait

You could also try the one click unbrick I have not used it but it may work for you. The phone is not hard bricked which would need to then be jtagged, it is only soft bricked

One click unbrick? Where? Do you mean one click Odin to go to stock? Cause that wont work unless in download mode

Yeah i tried heimdal and one click ubrick it gives me. It doesnt recognize the phone is in download or phone!computer mode

i dunno if it will work but try this: take the battery out, put it back in, plug the phone into ur pc, when the phone /!\ comp screen comes up, hold vol down + vol up + power, wait till the second time the /!\ disappears then release only the power button, you should now be in download mode

I would post in the one click unbrick thread that is still very new and should fix your situation. Adam is working pretty hard to make that compatable, and universal. Make sure you give as much info as possible about the OS platform you are trying to run it on.

As mentioned, a JIG will save you or possible the one click unbrick tool. It sounds like you don't have the Heimdall driver installed correctly as well. Good luck!

Alright so a jig will work. But I don't want to drive into town if one click will work. When I try the resolution center to install drivers Samsung composite device isn't listed so I can't. I have my captivate can I just use that to install the drivers then switch em? I thought I already had the drivers installed cause I connect mine all the time.

Alright so I got a jig and its bow in download mode. But Odin just sits at "set pit file" "do not turn off target " no status bar on the cappy either ...... now what? Its on 2.2 I want it back to stock and so I can put root and cyanogen on it.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App

this has happened to me quite a few times, try opening odin BEFORE you plug in your cappy in download mode

Hahahaha oh my gosh after I got it into download mode I couldn't get Odin to recognize. But that's because even though adb cmd was exited. It was still in the background process. Therefore blocking Odin. I did it! With your guys help. Thanks guys. Oh and Josh I bought one of your jigs from mobile tech videos. just to help out.

Cognition 5 is a gingerbread rom, you need to follow the instructions on the first or second post to flash it. Can you get to download mode? If you can, try to odin back to stock and go from there...
Also, make sure you read the entire opening posts for installation instructions for every rom you flash.

Get in download mode and flash back to stock DO NOT use 3 botton fix. To get in to download more depending on bootleaders but if on I897 bootloaders take out battery sim and SD, plug in the phone press Vol up and down and insert cable (that's connected to the pc). If that doesn't work consider a Jig

That sucks, I didn't even notice it was a gb rom and I always read the instructions besides this time. I pulled everything mentioned and I get no life when connected to pc while holding down volume up and down. Before I had any replies I did try the 3 buttons but all that brings me is to a little wheel on my screen. So I guess this is it huh?

It won't enter download mode, when I hold all 3 buttons all I get is a Continuing att logo flash. Although I did try it several time with different release timing and I was able to get to a black screen with 1of those little spinning wheels. But I was told not to use 3 button fix just use the volume keys, which did nothing at all.

The three button fix is a zip file you flash from cwm that replaces one of your boot loaders, you didnt do this did you?try pulling your battery for a awhile have odin open on your pc,insert battery,hold both volume buttons, insert usb. Or try the one click unbrick

First make sure you have the right drivers in your PC. They will be/act different since your on gingerbread bootloaders now. Try the Nexus s drivers or download ask and start all over, it will download the drivers needed. You can also read somewhere in the forums about other drivers/apps that can get you the right drivers for your pc.
Also you can use a jig to get you in download mode.
YOU ARE NOT HARD Bricked at this point SINCE you do get to the att screen. IF you flash the 3 button fix now you will be permenently bricked and the phone will ONLY go e a black screen
IF you send your phone back to att is the state it is in now they MAY see that you flashed something and will charge you the full price of the new phone. You MAY get lucky if att or samsung don't check it but personally I wouldn't risk it. Buy a jig from mobiletech videos for the $8 and make sure you have the correct drivers on your PC. Then you will be able to fix it. Just keep trying, switching USB ports, try a NEW USB cable, keep trying.
I also didn't see it mentioned or missed it but did you turn phone off,plug the USB cord into the PC but now into the phone yet, hold down the volume + volume- buttons, THEN plug in USB cable to phone. And it should put you into download mode.

Your making a big deal out of nothing If the key combo's don't work but the phone shows signs of any life Jig will fix it. You can make one with this or buy one in ebay or mobiletechvideos.com They cheap to buy even cheaper to make if you have patience.
Word of advice Always have a jig around. Its better to have one and not need it than being stuck without it. (also u can just ditch key combo's with it lol)

was there a yellow box in odin before you hit start? if not it didnt detect it and you need the drivers for the phone. also make sure you are plugged into a usb port that is on the motherboard, on the back of the pc or port 1 on a laptop.

Its usually better that way.

I Think I am Bricked

After looking for quite a few hours on google and xda the only solution thats shows up is to use a jtag and quite frankly that scares the pants off me
here is what happened
-i upgraded the device to froyo then did the super one click root in order to root
-after that i installed the modified recovery to turn off the signature check
-after doing that i flashed clockwork mod renamed update.zip through recovery
-after that i flashed the ICS beta but i could not get the main zip to work through recovery the only other zip i had on my sd card was the kernel so i flashed that and it worked, in clockworkmod 5.0 it wiped everything on the phone so i reloaded the 2 zips i flashed the rom there and it rebooted. (this is out of order from the thread so i know this is what causes the next problem.
now when ICS boots up i get an encryption unsuccessful screen saying i need a factory reset, only option given is reboot now. can't bypass the screen, can't access via adb (driver install fails on windows too), cant get into download mode, and can't get into recovery.
how screwed am i
device is
Samsung captivate
-build number 1009

You need Gingerbread bootloaders.
And since you cant get into download mode... You probably need a USB Jig.

Good news is that you see something at startup. I doubt you are totally screwed then.
Second the jig as an option. It has quite the track record on this forum as making the captivate almost un-brickable.
What have you tried as far as getting your phone into download mode? There are sometimes multiple ways (Vol-up + Vol-down while plugging in USB without battery, sim, or microsd installed is how I always seem to get it working). Here is a list:
http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode
To my knowledge, none of that information is dated... but there are those here that know far more about it than I ever will.

none of those methods worked, it just stinks if it would have been any other rom i would have been fine i think but since i can't do anything in user space and everything i do takes me to the ICS android screen i cant do anything.
also for the record i am a noob to samsung devices but i have been doing this stuff to HTC devices for years

Im assuming not and thats what caused the brick. Either that or CWM5 doesnt like froyo BL's. Either way.

Did you try this method to get into download mode?
1. Turn off phone, remove sim, battery, sd
2. hold both volume buttons, keep holding for remainder of instructions
3. insert usb
4. insert battery
This has instantly granted download mode on every captivate i've ever tried.

The team hacksung project might be compatible, but the straight port says in the op that you need to flash kf1 first, which included bootloaders.

You aren't hard bricked and your device is recoverable.
If you are still on the froyo bootloaders, try unplugging the usb cable, removing the battery, sim and sd cards, hold vol up+vol down (don't hold power), and plug the usb cable back in. It should take you to download mode.
If your phone responds to adb while it's booting, you can just issue a quick 'adb reboot download' or 'adb reboot recovery' to get it to boot into either without the button combos.
If either of those don't work, you can try forcing it with a usb jig (just a 301k resistance over pins 4 and 5 of the microusb port). Build a jig, take the battery out, plug the jig in, make sure not to touch the jig while it's in or you'll change the resistance and won't work, put the battery back in and it should kick your phone into download mode. Once you're there, simply remove the jig and plug the usb cable back in.
Sometimes the download mode graphic won't show up even if you are actually in download mode. If the phone looks like it hung, try connecting it to Odin anyway and see if it recognizes it.
Edit: forgot to mention, try using adb from linux (virtual machine or livecd will work too). You shouldn't have to mess with drivers and it's worth a shot.

i will try it out the jig is the last thing i want to do, luckily this isnt my everyday phone but i would like to get it working hopefully
thank you everyone for the help expect me to hit some thank buttons soon

Were you able to get this working again? If so, how? My Captivate with Build 11 of ICS that had been running perfectly for a week got the message you saw regarding encryption.
I couldn't reset, I tried one click back to stock, and now I just get messages saying can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1.

Unbricking Cappy
Are you able to go to CWM using the three button combo? Try pulling out the battery, reinsert, Hold vol-up + vol-down
and hit power button. Let me know whether CWM menu is appearing or not

All I have to say is wow, not one of those things are true
UCKF1 was the first GB leak for the Captivate, not official Froyo wtf :S
you also don't just connect and power on?!
Who ever needs help, don't listen to this dude, he obviously doesn't know his facts!

Hey,
Could you tell us more about how it was resolved?
I'm having the same issue here.

Can't boot, getting a yellow triangle...

First of all, I'm sorry if the answer is somewhere, I searched, but I "only" found many threads with suggestions for JIG use... The three stickies of Q&A also don't present related information I believe...
After some stuck situation in odin, I can't boot the phone. I get a yellow triangle, between a phone and a computer icons. Even if I try to charge the Phone, I get that static screen.
There's anything I can do without using JIG? I cannot enter download mode (at least with the traditional way), I always get that screen. As fair as I know, the phone is still 2.1 with official firmware (i was trying to apple the 2.3.6)

First of all, I'm sorry if the answer is somewhere, I searched, but I "only" found many threads with suggestions for JIG use... The three stickies of Q&A also don't present related information I believe...
After some stuck situation in odin, I can't boot the phone. I get a yellow triangle, between a phone and a computer icons. Even if I try to charge the Phone, I get that static screen.

you are still in download mode, without a proper ROM, so just connect with ODIN and it will function once USB cable is plugged in and flash the correct i9000 gingerbread ROM for your location

The problem is, when entering ODIN, with the phone in this state, the phone is not detected at all by the computer, so ODIN fails to start...

follow the procedure on My Android solutions, link below for connection problems, or else flash with a lap top or on a another PC. But First power down the phone, remove battery, remove EXT SD card and SIM Card and power up again using combo keys for download mode

Yes, I tried the "first step solution" and all other ways you mention to enter download mode, but with no success

Install drivers of your phone to your laptop or PC. If you have correct drivers it should pick your phone straight way.

I already have the drivers, they were installed back then when I tried to update the phone, so they are present now.
The problem is, I cant get out of the black screen of death.. in fact, I'm not sure if this model/version can enter download mode through combo keys, yesterday when the phone was borrowed to me, I tried and I couldn't, so I was using adb reboot download shell command - but anyway, the drivers are there.

Then try on different PC. It might have corrupted. If you can see the triangle it means it is on download mode so it should connect to PC.

Yes. I'm wondering if my Google Nexus S drivers didn't not conflicted with the drivers I installed. I don't know.
Well, I'll try with another laptop, if that don't work, is it advisable to use a jig connector from a "trusted" seller? I'm asking because I already saw a comment or two along the about blewed (is this a word?) up phones.

Hey mate had the same issue your gonna have to get a jig as a lot of the i9000's came with corrupted boot loaders so you can't get into download without the jig and the screen your on isn't download mode I know which one your talking about with the phone the triangle and the computer

Do I risk blowing up the phone using JIG?

No the jig basicly makes it so a certain voltage signal is sent to the CPU triggering download mode no risk at all

I tried with another laptop with very well configured drivers, and didn't worked. Still didn't detected by odin. When I tried with another galaxy it works, after entering download mode...
I'm not admired, because before the brick, I was not able to enter the download mode with como keys, I shouldnt be surprised that does not happen now..

1) Uninstall your drivers, and re-install the ones following the instructions and link above.
2) Pull your battery out for a few mins and then put it back in and go into download mode (power, volume down, home button).
3) Download stock + odin from the link above, and start odin, and connect phone to pc through usb.
Your phone should be detected -- this is where you got stuck right? I'll assume if its detected, the rest you can figure out (plus its in the link above)
Good luck bro!

That would be a good suggestion if could get into download mode Tried everything, including some other solutions that I found around the Web. Looks like the bootloader was corrupted since the beginning, and now that I need it more than ever (because the black screen of death phone-!-pc), I stucked until (hopefully) i get a JIG... Already bought one, have to wait a few days to receive it. Until then, I'm going to use a old nokia.

Jig is only option then install a stock gingerbread that will fix 3 button combos
