hi all
Need your help with this. This bell Galaxy S phone was with our IT guys and I am not sure what they did to it. But when I turn on the phone the logo boots up and the animation comes on. Then it goes to a black screen. I tried to booth in recovery mode and the screen just keeps constantly showing the "Galaxy S GT-i9000" screen. i tried "adb recovery" and that didnt work either.
I tried odin and it doesnt recognize the phone.
is there any way I can get Kies to just format and reinstall the original rom?
i really dont care about installing a new rom, any rom will do.
Thanks for your help!
get a JIG cable, this will put your phone into download mode, after that you can flash a new rom using odin. you can find it anywhere, or you can make it yourself
good luck
Tried home+voldown+power? that gets you into download mode, which odin should recognize.

Hi, so i successfully flashed my phone with JPA and wanted to install the CF chain root. unfortunately while flashing it got stucked at zimage. so i turned off my phone (removed the battery) and tried to reflash.. same thing happened. I tried reflashing back to JPA and im stuck at the S logo.. tried reflashing back to JM6 and same thing.
When i try to go to recovery mode, i keep getting this connect to pc image. When i connect my phone to the pc nothing happens, Odin cant see my device either. Please any help would be greatly appreciated!
you could try the homemade jig from this thread:

helped me to get into download mode, when i bricked my phone with 3 button mode disabled.
hope that helps.
When I start Galaxy S I only see Clockworkmod text loading something and then it reboots.
When I try to enter Download mode, it does the same.
When I try to recovery, it does the same.
When I take battery off and insert USB cable and then battery, it shows that it starts charging but then it enters the bootloop. This should not be possible?
What to do next? Is the JTAG JIG only option and is it possible that it won't work?
Sort of the same here. My phone will start to the first samsung screen, shut off and reboot, and continue forever.
I tried flashing with odin but the phone shuts off before odin has a chance of flashing, any help? I would like to try out the android too, but the situation is forcing me back to apple phones.
I updated to CM 7.1 (2.3.7) from android 2.2 (stock)
On stock rom the key combinations did not work at first place. I had to go to download mode using: adb reboot download
Is this why I can't get to download mode? Since cyanogenmod does not touch the three-button-combinations?
Build a usb jig, Im confident it will work for you. Google it, you tube it, heres the link on this forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
My buddies phone was doing exactly what your phone is doing and I was able to use the jig to achieve DL mode and flash via odin. GL
Got the JIG.
It went straight to the download mode. Then reflashed to XXJVT.
Factory format and Cyanogenmod reinstall.
Works like a charm!
Thanks guys!
Hi
I was trying to root my Galaxy with gingerbread 2.3.3.
I installed Odin3 and downloaded CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS put the tar in PDA on Odin, restarted my phone, put it into download mode, pluged in the USB, pressed start, and got a failure notice and that there was a Comm error.
I figured that there was not done anything to the phone since there was a comunitation error, so i unplugged the phone and tryed to start it up, but there was only a black screen with a picture of a phone...Triangle with !...and a PC sign.
I then tryed to look on the web for a clue, and someone was writing that Heimdall was so much better to use.
So i downloaded Heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32 and opend XXJVT_Heimdall.tar in Heimdall, Connected the Phone in download mode and started the prossess, after a few moments i got error in uploading PIT and the whole thing aborted.
When i try to turn off the phone now, notting happens, not even the black screen with the triangle. Its only download mode that works.
Can someone plz help me? im lost!
If download mode works, it's should let u use odin again or not?
Don't worry. Rule of thumb: if you can get into download mode, you're fine.
Download a firmware of your choice (JVS being the newest, I've literally just flashed it). Boot into download mode and flash the firmware. You'll be back to stock. From here, you can install a custom kernel with root.
same kind of issue with me..the only difference cant get into download mode..stuck on the at&t logo..the phone keeps on flashing a white n black screen..any help?
Help, i may have bricked this thing. Tried to go from a 2.3.5 to ICS but couldn't get into recovery from the get go for some reason. Decided to DL Rom Manager to change the recovery but the option for Captivate wasn't listed in the flash options just nexus/ nexus 4g, epic 4g and i9000. I choose one of them. Which one i cant remember. Now phone wont go past att boot screen or the frozen battery screen when i plug in the usb. (no battery behind it just the star) after i use the jig without it booting, i plug in the usb to my pc and the screen will display the ATT boot screen instead of the battery screen for some reason, yet still no recognition in odin. I tried the 3 button, odin bat pull trick, adb, and jig with no success. Nothing will recognize it.
Any suggestions?

Go here... Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help

didnt work...........
Any other sugestions? I've tried everything on the list.
Hi all,
I've tried to put an ICS ROM onto my Ace and managed to screw it up, it boot loops, and I can't use the recovery because it's CWM6 with the graphics error that causes it to display a solid blue screen. so i've tried to use ODIN (v4.42 if that matters) to flash a stock ROM onto it but every time I try to use regular download mode it won't connect to my PC, but, it connects in emergency download mode. problem part 2: ODIN will not flash to the thing it gets stuck at "<1> setup connection" and will sit there and do absolutely nothing
anyone know how or where I can find a fix for this thing?
Never mind, got it working
