So i've been searching for a few hours while trying to flash my cappy with speedmod kernel for 5 hours...
I don't know whats wrong but I can never get passed the galaxy s screen right after the opening at&t world phone screen. I am able to go into recovery mode and go through features but every time I reboot or turn my phone on it never gets passed the galaxy s screen. it seems like the kernel is running fine but then it stops right after the opening at&t screen. what am i doing wrong???? I have been at this for too long.
Can someone please help me with my problem... I can't seem to find anything about this and a lot of people aren't having much problem flashing this kernel. why can't I be one of those people... please! if you can push me into the right direction, that would be great!
btw... it seems like its frozen on this screen but I don't think it really is.
how long does the first boot of a new kernel take? any adjustments in recovery mode that I need to make? I've also tried the older speedmod kernels and and I get the same problem. Am I using odin right, because I followed the speedmod tutorials word for word...
did you feel any vibration during your booting? like one vibration or three vibrations?
I don't think there was any vibrations upon booting. if there was I believe it was only one. I could be wrong though. at this point I don't even want to put a custom kernal on my phone. I've been at this for a long time and it seems like I haven't gotten anywhere.
which rom are you on?
im running stock everything but superuser permission root. stock kernal and what not also. I ended up using odin one-click downloader to flash back to stock. now my phone is back to stock and working.
the thing is that I want to flash speedmod on my phone but now I cant get into download mode or recovery mode. my phone is glitchy now too.
can you provide some suggestion on how to flash right? I would ask in the speedmod thread but Im a new to the threads and it wont let me yet.

Hi,
I have done a lot of reading and searching, and I think I understand most of the basic pieces of what I am trying to do and how to do it. Let me explain.
Ultimately, I want to be able to install custom roms to my captivate.
Firmware: 2.2
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: FROYO.UCKB1
I installed rom manager, but I see that with my hardware, I cannot install cwm recovery. It seems I need to downgrade my kernel using odin. Problem is, although I found the thread listing all of the kernels for download in zip format, I have no clue which one to use.
I found the instructions on how to reboot into cwm recovery, but without the new kernel, I cannot do it, at least that's what I gather.
Can you guys help me here? I know I am on the right track, but don't know what to do to go any farther. Also, I cannot get into recovery mode buy clicking the buttons. It seems I must now use adb. All I want to do at this point is reboot into cwm mode. Can that be so difficult.
Well, this is my first post. Thanks to all who reply.

3e recovery. Look in the stickies to fix that. OR flash another kernel (like Cog 4.x.x kernel) and flash a rom.
+1 to the above. Personally when flashing a custom ROM I just always start with JF6, the flash the green CWM update.zip file followed by the ROM, or if it's got an initial-kernel like many ROM's call for now days.
Quick stupid question...
Does the sim card need to be out to do this, or any of the other things I have been trying?

It does not matter. The whole (remove SDCARD and SIM steps) in my opinion have always been false info. The only reason I'd remove anything would be the SDCARD if using a recovery that's untested to ensure it's not formatted or something like that.
error?
No matter what I try flashing with odin, I get this message:
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
This indicates that the process failed. What gives?
Re-install your drivers. Then ensure the ODIN is open BEFORE connecting your phone in download mode. You can get the latest drivers in a package I made with ODIN here:

Edit: Also only use a genuine OEM cable when flashing. There are two many issues with non-oem cables and the usb data transfer they provide.
Need big time help now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Possible Brick!!!
Now i have been playing with flashing roms. Now I have a real problem.
I flashed darky 10.2 i believe and now I am in a boot loop. It cycles between the white att screen and a colored pixelated screen.
I have been reading and researching for hours now. Present time 3:15 am. Research tells me that the cappy is pretty much un-brickable.
I KNOW I have to get into either download mode or recovery mode. I cannot do either.
I have researched this subject exhaustively, but my brain is fried now, and I work at 6:00 and need my phone.
What to do????
I emplore anybody up at this time to help.
TIA

What ROM were you coming from? Did you try all the 3 button combos? or battery pull/Vol+/- then plug in usb? Next best thing is a Homemade/bought Jig.

Did you flash gingerbread bootloaders before flashing the ROM?
I am not amused by your phones performance
Did not flash gingerbread...
I apologize, my intent was not to amuse.
How now can I flash gingerbread if the phone wont stay powered on?
I ran home during my work break to check my replies.
Because I didn't flash gingerbread, I presume I was hasty in flashing darky becuause it seemed so great, is it possible to resurrect this phone?
I am feeling pretty discouraged.
Thanks and please continue to help.
As long as the phone shows any type of life its not Hardbricked and can be recovered with key combos or a Jig. Your fine. Get in to download mode and flash a clean stock and start over.
Entering recovery mode in my situation.
I am currently trying to hold the 2 button volume control and the power key.
The phone comes on to the att white screen, then goes black, then comes back on, etc...
I am very worried.
When I plug into the usb, it will connect to pc, then disconnect, then keep repeating this. I read that kies has an emergency recovery feature. But,, I can't connect to kies. Odin recognizes a port, but kies just says to connect your phone.
Any advice?

You don't need gingerbread BL for Darky 10.2. I've flashed Darky 10.2 before, his directions were pretty clear. I moved onto Fasty since his updates stopped. I suggest reading the stickies for making jigs or buying them as well. You can do it! & Good luck.
^what he said. You can try and taking out ur batter open odin, connect your phone hold Vol up and down insert battery. If that doesn't work you need a jig. Not hard to make, takes a little time though (if you peel a cheap cable for the plug that is)
i flashed darky rom 1.3 on my phone, ive been having some problems id get a lot of force closes and i wouldnt be able to call out when i do it would end the call after the first dial, id get no signal, id then get a force close, then signal would come back. so i went into cwm recovery. performed a full data wipe and tried to flash any other rom - rocket rom v12 and cassie xtra lite v5. on every type of rom i try even the kl7 stock deodexed, it just stays stuck on the samsung glaxy note gt n7000 screen and stays like that. for instance its been like that for the past 40 mins now at the side of me. i dont really know what to do, ive tried multiple data wipes inc dalveks cache. would flashing via odin help ? how do i do that. wondered if i could get some help guys.
Your phone is not bricked. Just entered a boot loop.
You just need to reflash an official firmware from Samsung, then you can flash a custom one over that. Be careful that zergrush or appropriate exploit is avaliable for the version of firmware that you will flash, you don't want to increase the binary counter
To enter download mode:
"Put your Galaxy Note in download mode. To accomplish this, power off your Galaxy Note and then power it back on while holding volume down and home button together with power key".
thanks for the reply, im a little rusty to flashing stock roms with odin i dont really know what to do, i have odin opened with all the necessary things checked, ive downloaded this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412959 stock kl7 but i just get a md5 tar file, how do i get the pda etc, that is ODIN way of doing it am i correct ?
am i right in thinking i can just resent the binary counter with a jiig sometime down the line ?
darkyrom
i had same issue with same rom and i flashed overa stock rom
aaaaaaits this rom bud, my note doesnt like it, try sheep rom, ive found that the best one out of all of them.
Hi guys, I need some help..
I have had my SGS for over a year now and decided today i wanted to root it and do all the stuff that comes with that... anyways so i rooted it and then tried installing cyanogenmod but i got a bootloop which i thought fair enough ill just put the phone back into download mode and download my firmeware of i9000xxjvt again. this was no problem, however... this unrooted my phone i think becasue i didnt see superuser or cwm in my apps again. so then i tried rooting my phone again but i think i picked the wrong file in the PDA part of odin and my phone screen turned off and ODIN said fail or somethign similar. Then i tried turning my phone on and it now has this icon;
well i cant post links but if you go on tinyurl and add "/6o3dt8y" after it you'll see
im so scared iv ruined it, i dont have insurance but it is covered under my parents house contents cover.. i dont wanna have to go through that though. any suggestions? i havent tried removing the battery to turn it off btw it's still on that screen because im scared of doing further damage.. dont know how long the battery will last tho.

Hey, first of all, don't panic, there's nothing wrong that can't be fixed. You should still be able to put your phone into download mode. After that, just flash it with the correct files via Odin, that's all. I recommend downloading jvu firmware instead of jvt. After that you should be able to flash a custom kernel, my recommendation is Semaphore (look for it in the development section). Then flash cyanogenmod via recovery menu. If it starts flashing, then you get into a bootloop, just pull your battery at some point and pull your external sd card. (I had this issue too.) Then put your battery back (but not the sd card) and you will be able to install it correctly. Cheers

You have the i9000? Because I see a restore procedure for i9001 on the server your 'bsod' image is hosted: http://www.broodplank.net/flashsamsungi9001.php
The only think different is the firmware you need and the Odin version. Don't use the multidownloader, but for instance Odin3 v1.85.
I'd recommend cf-root kernel, it's "rooting for beginners" and still enough to be able to flash Cyanogenmod. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Just pull out the battery. I too had a lot of soft bricks this week and you wouldn't believe how many times I had to pull out the battery, lol.
Just try to flash some stock gingerbread rom's and see which one makes your phone work again.
If you can't get into download mode anymore. Pull out the battery, connect your phone to your pc via usb, push volume up and down simultaniously and lastly put in the battery. It should boot up into download mode.
Thanks so much guys I was really scared I ruined the phone. Pulling out the battery worked and putting it into download mode was easy after that. I flashed jvt again because I couldn't find jvu and then flashed cyanogenmod successfully, I removed my external SD this time tyo avoid the boot loop. i will try again later with semaphore kernal first but again thanks a lot people.
so today i upgraded to gingerbread 2.3.5 on my samsung captivate or i-897. it was all fine until i started to try the teamhacksung build 16 for ICS. i was trying to install it and somehow my phone locked up on me. everytime i try to boot up my phone it goes to galaxy s and just sits. i can get it into recovery and download but then odin will not pick it up? help?
that rom has a Q and A page. go there to ask questions about it. NOT the DEV PAGE. Q&A.try searching the thread. and reading it.
100% chance your problem has been asked at least 10 times.
i went there and searched im sorry it hasnt been thats why i posted a thing. so stop being so rude and help someone out really.

You need to be in download mode for odin to pick it up. Start odin first then with your phone off, hold in your up/down volume keys and plug in your usb cable.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
telling you the proper place to post a question is not being rude. Im trying to help you find other people that have the same rom setup as you. they dont always look at other threads like this. they only care about THEIR ROM. so posting there, they would find your question... here they wont.
and the answer to your very first problem... if the rom install locks up (which it RARELY does) flash again.
**normally it "looks" like it locks up but the user is actually impatient, or the install script doenst program the status bar very well and it looks like its not doing anything although it is.
and first boot after flashing can take upto 10 mintues at boot animation.
ive done all of this plenty of times, ive even read how to create them. and i know you do as well. ive done all the odin i can but it got stuck at the galaxy s boot screen like the black one with white lettering and the i897 tag too. but it wont go past, and now wen i plugged it in it bricked so i have no idea wat to do now and i love this phone to death.

Can't you just flash something from recovery? You probably put some ROM on your sd at some point. And if not, you can do that with USB from recovery
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
Once you didn't get past the boot screen you should have three buttoned to recovery and flashed the from again. It happens quite often when you go to THS ICS or CM7. So if your not truly bricked which you shouldn't be unless you used a Odin with boot loaders then just used Odin and flash speed mod kernel or another kernel that will give you the correct cwm recovery. Then BEFORE trying to reboot flash the ICS ROM, then when it finishes flash it a second time BEFORE REBOOTING, then flash gapps, then reboot.
What happens is that the first time you try to go to cm7 or cm9 it basically flashes the kernel and cwm recovery from I can tell, then the second flash will be able to get you through all the boot up. Plus wait a while without touching it and it will come up. It takes a while on the first ever flash to it.
Sent from MY SPH-P100 running ICS
how can i put it on through recovery? and my usb debugging isnt on my fone just spazzed when i was loading up ics nd now its softbricked.
i actually just unbricked but i am still stuck at the galaxy s sgh-i897 screen thats black and white.
So basically I have a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate (i896) and it was running 2.1, so I decided to try and upgrade to the newest stock available for the captivate (which is 2.3.5). I had to use heimdall because I bought the phone used and it was rooted and possibly running a custom ROM so kies is not an option. When I put the phone in download mode the computer wouldn't recognize it (I'm on a Mac). I did alot of reading online and I couldn't find a solution. So I decided to flash a new ROM hoping that this would solve the problem.
So I flashed a random ICS ROM. But with this ROM I couldn't even access download mode. I tried a 3 button fix, I tried to use terminal to boot into download mode, and I tried to use ADB from my computer; nothing worked. So I figured I would flash another ROM (this time I used Hellybean) but when I tried to install it, a bunch of code ran on the screen and it said "installation aborted". Before attempting to flash this ROM I completely wiped the phone (i formatted the system from the mounts menu in CWM) and now the phone is showing the at&t logo, then going to black, then some code runs on the screen, then it goes black and starts the whole thing again.
I cant get to recovery or download mode.
Is it bricked? How do I fix this?
I don't know what I did wrong! any help would be appreciated.
P.s. I would really like to avoid building a jig because I feel like Im not too good at that kind of stuff....but if that's what it comes to...
Thanx in advance

I've tried all of those methods except for using a jig. Is it possible that while flashing a ROM my phone somehow lost download mode?
Also if all of those combos didn't work is it likely that a jig will work?
Looks like you started reading after you messed up the phone. Update instructions say clearly that you need GB bootloaders before you proceed to ICS or JB. You provide no information what exactly ROM you started from, what GB ROM you attempted to flash (with or without bootloaders), what exactly ICS you flashed after, what "some code" runs on the screen now, etc. It's a lot of guessing here. If bootloaders are messed up, than you won't be able to fix your phone at home. I have never seen a problem you describe, so wait for someone with more experience to stop by.
I got it going! All it needed was a jig and then I was able to flash stock GB with bootloaders.
Thanks for the help.
Good news! :good:
I have a Cappy and gingerbread boot loaders come in three flavours i897, i896 and i9000 and they're backwards compatible with froyo and éclair roms. Don't mix froyo and gb boot loaders though you will hard brick your device. I have i896(Canadian) boot loaders and when I flash kk4 [email protected] Odin gingerbread my "i896" boot screen is garbled image of pixels until I flash the proper param.lfs file to match. Hope this helps. BTW I have a jig as well and for all galaxy devices it's a must.
