oh crap, need help - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i flashed to stock and when i boot my phone up or it resetted after the galaxy s bootscreen its just blank black, and if i touch it or something it keeps beeping

Remove battery for about a minute. Then flash to stock again and dont remove it from the usb or touch it until it fully boots up.

if rebooting the phone does not work, hope you can still get into download mode, then try to reflash the rom.

i used the att odin1click, then i used odin3 and used the rogers files, works perfectly now, going to flash supernova

[Q] ROM flashing keeps failing need help..

EDIT: Can be closed, fixed it by going into recovery and wiping data/cache, never had to do that before in other flashes so didn't know it was needed
Hi guys,
first of all I'm not another first time flasher, I already succesfully put 4 other roms on my galaxy s but now I don't know what to do..
I came from jm5 and wanted to upgrade to jm8 today so I back upped everything and started the process, I thought I'd best follow richthoven's instructions so I first flashed the pit file + repartition, and then after pass, removed battery, back to download mode and put pda,modem,csc etc like always and started flashing.
Now my problem is from what I remember after the final reboot before odin sais pass the s logo dissapears and the phone boots into touchwiz, but now after the s logo dissappeared, my screen just stays black and after a minute or two odin sais passed, but there's nothing on my screen, and even after disconnecting and removing battery and try to boot it hangs on the s logo for a few minutes then a black screen with the backlight buttons highlighted.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
PS: I already tried the flashing procedure twice, same result

HELP!!!!!!! Stuck in boot loop on STOCK

Hi everyone,
I am honestly at a loss. I tried to flash back to stock using Odin (not the one click) because I was having multiple problems with my custom ROM. However, after Odin did it's magic (I got the green sign with PASS) my phone rebooted into the blue screen (Samsung recovery I assume) then I hit reboot phone now, it got stuck in a reboot loop! It won't go past the Galaxy "S" logo at all, or it flashes the "S" then the screen just goes black. Fortunately, I can still enter download mode but about nothing else, not even a recovery screen or anything. I am running a Rogers Captivate 2.2 (or at least I flashed back to stock 2.2 successfully according to Odin) but I can't actually check since I am on a reboot loop.
Can anyone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP?
Thank you so much!
Just reflash stock. Unless there is a good reason you are not using the one click odin I would use it

What's ur phone batch number? U wud be able to find under the battery in the format YY.MM
Problem solved...
Entered recovery mode, had a brain flash, reformatted internal card and wiped user data. Worked like magic. I am an idiot. Thanks for all the help though!

Help! Captivate Boot Loop

All,
I had rooted a Captivate recently for a friend and installed CM7. After about a week, my friend decided to go back to stock. Prior to rooting, I made a backup of his stock rom just in case. I then showed him how to restore via Clockwork if need be. Tonight he came in to work and wanted to restore to stock, now he is stuck with a boot-looping Captivate. Now the phone sits at the AT&T World Phone splash screen. I've tried and tried all night to get the phone in DL mode so that I can use the One-Click ODIN restore but to no avail. I can't seem to get the phone in DL mode no matter what I try. Whenever I attempt, the phone simply reboots to the AT&T splash. Please assist if available.
P.S. When I plug the phone into any USB I get a circle (reminiscent of the Android loading spinner) in the center of the screen.
Assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

thats not how clockwork backups work...those are to restore your set up to the way you had it once you flash the rom it was backed up from thats why hes looping. you would odin back to stock THEN restore and it would be like he never flashed anything at all.
build/buy a jig that'll for sure get you int download mode.
Loop
I'm getting that same loop screen. What I did was use odin to restore my captivate back to factory because the 2.2 update wouldn't allow me superuser permission. After it was back to factory I rooted with super one click. It was successful but when i went to reboot the att world screen looped.
Help please
superoneclick works fine on 2.2.........you had no reason to go back to 2.1

update of my latest post: stuck at bootscreen

situation: was playing on galaxy note when battery died,
after battery died i tried to charge my phone and the batterylogo displayed but nothing happened.
so i tried to start up the phone and it got stuck at the bootscreen and after 10-15 seconds the screen dies and shows the bootscreen again,
and it goes on like that.
well then i tried flashing other roms to it and didn't succeed so now when i start up phone i get the "phone-----(!)--------computer" screen.
i still can go into download mode but no recovery mode.
so i tried flashing stock GB roms/ ICS roms but odin always get stuck at "zImage"
so can anyone help me with this issue?
the strange thing is i was running on official ICS(4.0.3) when this happened and never flashed my phone before that

Just flash gb rom in PC ODIN only and after automatically reboot if still stuck just go to recovery and wipe data and cache.
If you stuck in pc odin then it is a brick bug.
Try flashing notecore or speedmod kernel see if it wnet thru. If it does then try to see if you can access the recovery and wipe cache - dalvik or even data. If not try flashing again GB rom (preferred KJ11 by dr ketan) then update to ICS or you can try again ICS then root using safe kernel.
well first i tried to install stock GB rom open europe version, then tried stock ICS but nothing helped
So it might be emmc brick bug
Follow the guide i said in my previous post
You will surely get your phone back to work but it costs you 3gb of internal memory
But dont worry,after you get your phone working,clear your binary count
Then go to samsung service center and they will replace your motherboard under warrenty
I got the same problem in the past and got it solved in the same way
Hope it works for you too

[Q] Note won't boot on XXLSA

I was using my note to control my Google TV when it restarted. It stuck at the first splash screen, the black and white one before the Samsung boot animation. Restarting the phone either by holding the power button or pulling the battery has no effect. I booted to stock recovery and wiped the cache to see if that helped, but it didn't. And now I can't boot to recovery, it just restarts when it gets to the recovery screen now. I can still boot to download, and seeing as the symptoms looked similar to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034859 I copied what he did and used Odin to flash the stock rooted gingerbread rom from the toolbox by dr.ketan http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801341. The flash succeeded, but it still won't boot, and now I can't even get to the recovery screen, but download mode still works.
I'm not sure what to do, should I try and flash an unrooted GB rom?
BTW, I was using a rooted stock JB rom XXLSA before this went wrong, and I hadn't installed anything that day. Also, I hadn't noticed until today but although there is no yellow triangle the download mode has a count of 1, is there a way to fix this if I need to send it back?

Flash a gb rom with odin.. And Triangle away app will reset the flash counter in download mode
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Its worth trying a GB rom which has WIPE written next to it from Dr Ketans thread. install using odin a see what happens
Not sure what fixed it, but it's working now.
I just left it plugged in to the mains on the boot screen and it eventually booted up into the stock GB rom, and now the recovery mode works. If I try flashing the XXLSA again it locks up still, not sure why, but it won't boot. I've gone back to using CM10.1 nightlies as I was before trying the stock JB, and that is working as well as can be expected.
