Build 1010 Will Not Go Into DL Mode!!!

Few days ago I rooted and put Serendipity 2.0 on my Build 1010 with no problems.
I want to try Cognition 3.01.
So I followed the SAME method used in the MobileTechVideos and I cannot figure out how to get it into download mode
I have tried the 3 button method several times and it just takes me to the battery charging icon.
------
Would I be able to just pull up Odin3 (I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0) .exe as administrator, plug in USB, turn on phone, and go to DL mode through the phone via that way? Would it recognize it on my computer so I can just go back to stock and do the entire process over again for a ROM?
Or is this easier: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439

Would going to download manager through my phone while having Odin3 pulled up on the computer and my USB of course plugged in, work???
Please, someone, anyone!!! Wanting to try a new ROM so bad!!!

I would flash back to stock and start fresh

Have you used odin before?
I can get you into download mode and going with odin if your phone is working and recognized by your computer but with your build you don't want to use the odin you linked I am pretty sure.

That's what I'm trying to do!!! I just need to get into download mode first. My phone is not bricked or anything; it's working great. I just need to get into download mode so I go back to stock and put a new ROM on!!!
I think it's because of my build, 1010.
Can anyone confirm C3POs (Odin3) method works?

You would probably end up with a brick.
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36
And, BTW, there is no need to flash stock before flashing Cognition, but it's still good to find a reliable way in case you ever have a real need to do so. Also, I'm pretty sure Cognition still includes and sbl.bin that will fix your button combos (that's not normally a good thing, but in your case it is).

So bottom line; just use a different Odin3. Just like I originally posted:

Not everyone. It's apparently mainly confined to the Captivate forums and not universally recommended even here (Darky's instructions say nothing about it, for example). There is no benefit to doing so, believe it or not. Of course I don't care how anyone does it. It's up to you. If you tell people it's safer, however, you're misinforming people based on something that got started months ago and just became the status quo.

I believe this is what im looking for. I couldn't find the pit nor tar files any where. Im a vibrant owner so not to familiar with the files. Thanks. Will let you know.

Well bottom line, I think the easiest method for me to get into download mode every time I want to root/flash is by using the 99 cent jig. Thanks everyone for there info.

So I got into download mode by installing a 3buttonfix.zip via CWM.
I used Odin3 exactly like your supposed to. Went to stock, master cleared. Everything passed and completed.
My phone is now back to stock but still showing all files on my SD card. I even tried a factory reset and it still shows them.
Any ideas?

Blah, still no one?

This is the code you can enter in the dialer to wipe the phone internal memory. Does not ask for confirmation so make sure you have already done a backup of what you want.

Outstanding. It worked and did actually delete everything on my SD card. It's odd how Master Clear and factory reset through the phone did not but this way did. Build 1010 is bipolar.
Appreciate all the help everyone!

[Q] Flashing to Cognition 3 without flashing stock?

Recently, I had a very long discussion with some helpful users regarding how my market disappeared in the Android Themes section. After never recovering my stock market application, I finally just flashed to the cognition rom that is built for 2.1.
This was a huge risk for me because for some reason my phone is not found in Odin when it is in download mode. I have already tried everything to get it recognized, but nothing was able to get it recognized. If I were to brick my phone, I don't think I could fix it. I soft bricked it during the problem with the Market, but luckily I was able to get the phone working again through recovery.
I am thinking of flashing to the new cognition so that I can get my phone running on a 2.2 based rom and then quit flashing until I get a better phone or figure out my Odin problems.
I just have a few questions. I know a lot of people recommend flashing to stock first (which I can't do), while others don't flash stock. I should be able to just disable Voodoo and hopefully flash successfully to a new rom, correct? Also, what are the chances of a permanent brick? As long as I could get into recovery I could probably get the phone back up again without the use of Odin, right?

Main problem with your Captivate is that you cannot connect to your PC???
Did you tried using different computer, or using different version of Windows/Mac?

Back when I was really trying to figure the problem out (about 2 months ago), I was trying everything mentioned. I tried different versions of odin, 3 separate computers, windows xp/vista/7, front and back usb ports, multiple drivers, etc... The weird thing is that the phone is recognized in odin when it is on, which is how I was able to do a master clear on it. It is just when it is in download mode that it does not recognize it.
I eventually just gave up thinking that it was just a problem my phone has. The only thing I have not been able to test is using a different cable. I have been using the original OEM one, but I guess it could be the problem.

When did you bought the device?
if its within a year... you can exchange it... this looks like easy way out.

Unfortunately, It was purchased off contract and used from someone who lived near me. It is less than a year old, I just don't have the receipt for it. I would say that I bought it around the beginning of last August. They guy who sold it said he only used it for 2 weeks.

Ok, im just going to risk it... Phone should be flashed within the next 10 minutes or so.

I had the same prob at first and what i found is that I had to remove the drivers and then let windows 7 reinstall the drivers on its own again after turning debugging on, then used Odin to activate DL mode and let those drivers install as well

[Q] Better build...1008 or 1010??

I had 1008 build phone, which i bricked. So I called ATT and got replacement. Means while I bought jig and now i have both working phones.
The replacement phone is 1010 build. I have reading about builds a lot...but not sure which one i should keep. I want one which gives me no problem in flashing in future...

You won't be able to use ODIN 1-Click for 1010 onwards. (You can still use the full ODIN version where you have to specify everything).
It's really up to you, but I suggest keeping the 1008.

Ive had 5 phones now up to 1010. I like 1010 most. GPS works better than previous as well. One click has worked fine on my 1010 for master clear, etc. My 2centavos anyway.

Same here my Captivate is a 1010 and I have had no issues with Odin.

How were you able to keep your bricked phone? When you report a phone is not working your typically have to send it back in...

I have a Build 1008 - 3 button recovery never worked on it. I'd suggest keeping the newer build if the 3 button recovery works out of the box.
And I've never heard of Odin 1-click not working for a specific build before either...

You can use Odin (search for it in the Captivate Forum) and that will get you back to 2.1

I've been wondering this for a while! Like I said no problems on this end. Only problem I ever had was odin not seeing it in dl mode, I got that fixed though, n no bricked phones or even lost 3 button fixes I've heard happening. But I don't wanna f anyones phone up if I'm just somehow an exception to the rule or something.

I understand.

i am so tired of people getting offended by CAPS. it is not anger / or yelling or offensive.
ITS TO STRESS A POINT, some times its needed as alot of people cant read what has been said 5 times in-front of their face. (not here but other situations)
other times why bother being all polite and writing an essay when you can give instructions in point form and stress the main points.
i use caps and people think im a jerk.
but they notice the important part or get the point.... its worth it.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE! IM WITH YOU BUDDY!!
"sticks and stones will break my bones but CAPITAL letters offend me...."
what a world...

How do I find the build number?

UNDER YOUR BATTERY!!!!
lol its a date 1007 - 1012 or 1101 up...

A-HA!! So it is. I must be blind. 1007. Well that sucks. I just flashed the official ATT 2.2 and borked everything.

Off topic, but how did you make ODIN recognize your phone? I never had problems with it until recently, but it started to not recognize my phone after flashing MIUI. I tried every possible fix besides using a different computer, and nothing worked. Finally used a spare laptop and it worked, but I'd like to be able to use my main for flashing stock.

I restored my pc from a restore point I made 3 days before that **** started happening. I make one once a week, or anytime windows updates whichever comes first.

So if I cant use ODIN because my phone is an early build, what can I use to put back the stock 2.1 on there, or retry 2.2?

No, you CAN use odin because your phone is an early build, I was saying that I have 3 later builds that are supposed to be wonky with odin but haven't gotten any problems. And that is just about the one click odin anyway, you can always use the full odin, just the one click is supposed to cause problems with later builds.
1007 should be fine.

You aren't reading. Your 1007 will restore using Odin just fine. You need to be on 2.1 to be able to use the Kies Mini upgrade to 2.2.

Hardbricked even though ODIN said successful????

I was flashing my phone back to stock tonight and even though ODIN said it completed successfully (passed all the steps, incl SBL.BIN), it is completely dead; won't turn on.
I'm assuming I'll need Connexion's debrick service now, but the big question is HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
I can't figure out WTF went wrong even though ODIN went through 100% fine.........
Basically, the download mode status bar went to full and the software said successful, but the phone never rebooted.
Any help would be great.

Which Odin did you use, and what were you on before you flashed Odin?
Also, check the Am I Bricked (see my sig) thread to know if you need jtag/unbrickable mod.

I was using ODIN 1.81 (same as I'd used 2 days earlier and have used MANY times on this Cappy).
In was running Mosaic 6 (I think it was 6).
I haven't checked the thread you mentioned; I will. I've got a jig and that isn't working; Won't power on, nothing. Tried 3 button combo; nothing.

^ Was that the "3 button fix" Odin that u used to flash back to stock ??
If so, then it only flashes the sbl.bin and NOT the boot.bin file. And that would be the reason that you are now hard bricked. Because coming from Gingerbread bootloaders and flashing only the sbl.bin from the stock 2.1 eclair, you now have mixed bootloaders, which = brick.
But at least that brick can be fixed these days.

which odin? there are lots now that we can make our own oneclicks, and non-click packages. what thread exactly did you get it from?

Actually, I was using the Odin v1.81 that came with my copy of All in One Toolbox - Funny thing is, this is the version that I downloaded back in March; it'd been working fine for months. This was the first issue I'd ever had with it.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say this was also the first time you used this coming from gingerbread.
Pretty sure the aio contained the "3 button fix" which very irresponsibly only contains one bootloader.

I wish aio would die.
People defend it because its a helpful program. I'd like to remind everyone reading this. Aio is and always be closed source. The developer lost the source. The program is unmaintained. The program is a one-click nuker. The program is responsible for a lot of bricks
I fought the battle to have it removed from the site. I lost. Its time for others to step up and report that program. Aio captivate toolbox is a captivate deathtrap.
