And here was me thinking I was shielded from a broken phone by a working 3 button recovery -
So some of this is my own fault, I basically flashed CODE_I9000XWJM8.tar without anything else due to a misreading of instructions the problem is my phone will not start at all now, nothing no lights no button combination working zilch the phone responds to nothing.
I've taken the battery out, sim out and memory card put it back in still nothing!
I've got it on charge at the moment and the back is getting warm but no battery sign on the screen etc anyone have any ideas?
What have you done?
Can you come to download mode?
Have you flashed pit 512, CSC and modem file?
Which version of ODIN 1.0 or 1.3?
Nope I flashed only CODE_I9000XWJM8.tar
No PIT file and im using Odin3 v1.30
Download mode

Can you go to download mode "vol down, home button + power on"
Nope (I could before now) It quite literally will not switch on, no indication of life, no lights on the keys or anything just nothingness
Battery out

Take the battery out and wait for 20 sec. Putt it back and try to go to download mode again.
Nope that doesn't work either -
If I had re-partition checked while only flashing CODE_I9000XWJM8.tar would that cause this? I suspect that is why im in the situation I am now because I had re-partition checked :O
I think this might be a ring vodafone and tell them I've lost this one, as im pretty sure my warranty and insurance do not cover user idiocy lol

I think you are lost. Maybe you can try to put the usb cable on the phone at switch it to your pc. You can also try to charge it for a while.
Thank you for your help Its not fixed, but I've called voda and they are sending me a new one, lesson learned lol..
Just in case anyone has the same problem and comes across this thread I solved the issue.
Basically the following steps -
Boot up Odin
Remove battery from phone
Plug phone into USB
While doing the key sequence for download mode push the battery back in
And I was now in download mode, it took awhile to sort out after that, I actually had to rip the battery while installing the PIT file as it just kept hanging at that point, eventually I seen the phone!pc sign and for some reason it allowed me to flash everything back using Odin.
(insurance claim cancelled with voda lol)
Well yes, that is .... do not know if either captivate my story (I hope not because that really does a paste) or you can still save, but here I tell them what is happening:
NOTE: I clarify that I had wanted to get into issues FIRMS, roms, etc ... only put apk but that's another story, I was happy with my cell phone as he was, even so lag and everything was a machine, so do not put his hand, so I'm somewhat out of touch with developments as Some terms used by those that modify cellular pleasure
each connecting my phone to KIES told me that there was an update, so I proceeded to update the firmware of my phone .. the KIES says pda service name: jh7/phone: jh7/csc: jf6 .. update but after about 1 hour and seeing no changes, stays KIES: updating firmware and my phone is in download mode but no progress bar ....
Well I finished turning off thinking that I was left without phone, as it is not in any way except a notice appeared: X. ..!... X (celular. ...!..... pc)
well then maybe restoring the firm to KIES but more of the same .... after 1 hour and nothing happens, no changes or my cel or the KIES so again to remove it ....
walk after looking, I found I could do the same but with ODIN3 .... I try, and I thought it had improved and that this time if I could take back to my cell, because in ODIN said he was in the process of SBL.BIN and download my phone appeared as a small front bar (which I indicated that a bar would be charged completely) but still after 1 hour, nothing happened so I disconnect ,.... ....
but something funny happened, now my screen when turned some codes appear red with a black screen, now if I think I will lose my galaxy s forever, but I managed and achievement do you enter download mode .... I do not notice appears where it appears the cell phone and the PC (X. ..!... X) but I take comfort that even I can get into download mode .... but to try for the 2nd time after 20 minutes, I appeared orange screen, as he had read somewhere that it was gray but scare me very much and lit it off hours later and I can still enter download mode but now my questions are:
what else I need for my phone is restored? and I have the drivers for my galaxy to win 7 of 64 bits! ODIN gets stuck in SBL.BIN .... I have that file? I have it wrong? or because there is not progressing? what else I need to restore?
over there told me that if he had made the repartition, the pit, or to make him a factory wipe but I guess that the phone is still working, but did not do anything about it, because I knew nothing about it KIES that the pedal and I did not just going to upgrade my phone, we did not think that some "routine" became so dangerous and so frustrating
I have only the root, since the cell phone so I sold it, at another, I can only enter download mode and the recovery I need the center button and then the captivate you do not have XD
I hope and I can help ......
tl;dr
I know you are foreign and all but we ALL must abide by rules.
in short. wrong forum. go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=746

Obviously You did no read my post in the Q&A section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8707394&postcount=6
fix the captivate stuck with phone--!---comp. icon
Default get the samsung captivate back to download mode
I have similar problem like that. When i use Odin3 one click flash the ROM. It stuck in the middle of flash. I take off the usb cable out ,try to reboot the phone. Oop .. the screen show the sign of the phone--- yellow triangle with exclamation sign in the middle---computer icon. Can do nothing with it, because the computer now can not connect with the phone.
In my case, I take the USB off the phone but still connect with the computer. Hold the volume button + power until the phone flash in black screen .This moment happen very quick ,it will go back to the unconnected sign again. When the screen turn black just release power button but still press volume button (otherwise it not working) hook the USB back in your phone right on that moment. The Phone go back to download mode. If not work try couple time ,important is timing right on the moment the flash to black screen .
Now ,you can use the odin3 flash the ROM again. It works for me ,and i try again same situation couple times. it really works.
hopefully, this will help for who got the same problem.
Moved to Q&A.
Firstly, may I apologise, I know this has been covered, I've trawled the internet for hours but just can't seem to get an answer.
I recently updated my UK, unlocked Galaxy S to Froyo via the registry hack, all was fine (ish). Because Froyo had been delayed in the UK and wasn't as great when it was running on my phone I thought it would be safer to revert back to 2.1 and wait until the official UK release came out (I know some will ask me why I did this, I just felt that Froyo was held back for a reason and I couldnt get an answer as to if I could update to the UK version if I already had the Scandinavian one). So I did the reg hack again and was offered 2.1. Everything seemed to go smoothly until the phone rebooted after downloading from Kies. Now the phone's animation starts then the flashing S symbol displays for an extended time. After that, the screen goes black. If I touch the two touchscreen buttons they stay on but do not go off. If I hold the power button the phone turns itself off and when the phone is powered off and I plug it into my PC with a USB, the battery charging sign comes on.
The phone was rooted and I did have the OCLF on but uninstalled that and un-rooted before changing the firmware so it was back to stock.
Before I get 20 people telling me to put the phone in download/recovery mode I must tell you that I can't. My phone has never been able to do it. I've tried every single way and button order suggested. I'm not the only one who's phone won't do it either so it's not just me. The only way I ever saw recovery mode on my phone was when I used the one click root on the PC.
I'm at a total loss. Debugging was turned off because Kies won't let you do anything with it turned on and so ADB recovery is out also.
Please help if you can.
Many thanks,
Ryan
Boot to download mode, do a repartition with Odin and 512 pit flash, remove battery and boot again to download mode and then do a odin firmware flash to which ever firmware you want.
thanks intratech but I can't boot the phone into recovery or download mode (sorry should have stated that). Believe me, I have tried every combination. I did a lot of research and discovered that there are quite a few people for whom that feature was disabled.
if the 3 button combo is not working on your phone, you should not do these risky stuff actually
take a look at this thing

thanks Noobproof. I remember coming across that thread last night. Although I consider myself ok with software, soldering and slicing just isn't my forte. I haven't got a clue about soldering, etc. I've just come back from the Carphone Warehouse (Samsung suggested I go there as they are the service centres listed on the Samsung UK website). The engineer had the phone for half hour and said that the "board was faulty". Haven't got a clue what he meant by that, unless he meant the internal SD which a few people have had go on them. Anywho, he told me to ring Samsung and send it in for a repair. I did that and need to send my phone special delivery to a company called regenersis in Scotland.
I knew rooting and flashing custom roms was a risk, that's why I never touched Odin,etc. I used Kies to upgrade to Froyo and Kies to downgrade back to Eclair. You would think that sticking to official Samsung software would be safe. I must admit, when it was going well I loved my Galaxy but more and more I'm starting to wish I'd opted for the Iphone.It just seems that there have been so many glitches and bugs, I mean, why should there ever be a need for lag fix in the first place? I often found myself keeping my fingers crossed when downloading simple apps as that was usually touch and go!
Feeling a bit deflated now. Was hoping some clever boffin had designed a software solution that would recognise the phone and force it into download/recovery mode.
Ah well, thanks for taking the time to respond anyway.
Best wishes,
Ryan
You know i was very happy when i for the phone for the first time and while i was doing a research (i live in turkey and there is no stock android market here) i came along this forum. And i have learned that i havent got the 3 button combo. I downloaded the 3 button fix abd took the phone to samsung centre.
They told me that they cannot flash it and i made a huge fight then they accepted and i have my 3 buttons. Never give up your phone. I dont think the internal sd is faulty it is just corruppted if you can access the recovery menu you could fix it. Any way you have to find a service centre that has an anyway jig box other a jtag box otherwise they will have to replace the motherboard. Good luck

I had the same problem all i did was use a different firmware .. didnt choose anything in pitfile and did not check on repartition but checked only F reset and Auto reboot and flashed my phone and voila it booted perfectly fine
Hope it helps others with black screen problem after booting
thanks
mike
I had the same problem too. This method really works.

Hello,
Two days ago I upgraded to Gingerbread from 2.2.1, both times using Kies. I did the factory reset, CF root and put all my apps back with Titanium. No system backup was restored.
Suddenly the phone started to shut down if the screen shut down, regardless if I did a quick press on the powerbutton or let the screen time out. No lit buttons and the computer doesn't recognise the phone. The only way to start the phone was to press the powerbutton for 10 seconds. If the phone is correctly shut down you only need to press the button for approx two seconds for it to start.
I did another factory reset and the phone worked ok for a day but the problem showed up again today. EVERY single time the screen goes black the phone shuts down.
Edit:
I don't think the phone is shut down. When I call it I get a beep in the other phone as if nobody is answering. If I shut down my phone correctly and call it I get a voice that says "the number you dialed cannot be reached".
Any ideas?
I have the same problem with my phone at the moment, I have tried numerous software versions and all are the same, I think it is either a battery issue or a complete phone fault.
If it's still under warranty see if they will replace it.
You updated twice from what rom stock custom /original
Twice why ???
What network was the Kies firmware for re phones product code .
A flash through Odin to stock Froyo with pit 512 and repartition checked could well fix any faulty rom problem .

It seems like when the device goes to sleep it cannot wake up any more. I'm getting the same problem by the way. The only way to come out of it as you mentioned already is to hold the power button for 10 seconds or pull the battery out.
My steps for upgrading from Darky's 9.5 were:
1) Odin stock JVB with bootloader (repartitioned with pit512)
2) Odin deodexed JVB without bootloader
3) Odin CF-Root
4) Applied lagfix through ext4
5) Flashed Gingerbread theme (v3 and after it v4)
6) Odin Voodoo
(with a reboot between each of the steps)
And that's about it. Have you applied any modifications or hacks?

I did not write that very clear. I meant that both the upgrade to 2.2.1 a couple of weeks ago and the upgrade to 2.3.3 was done with Kies, not Odin.

NEE
I did another factory reset... Odin flash is next.
I updated the phone to Gingerbread with Kies.
I then rooted it with Odin (CF)
I have not done any modifications other than that.
I'm starting to think it maybe be some root app's fault. When I reinstalled using Odin to stock all was fine, then installed CF-Root, but as soon as I restored my apps it started happening again. I froze SetCPU, NoLED, and WidgetLocker, and so far nothing bad has happened. Weird. Fingers crossed that it stays this way...

I only have SetCPU of the ones you listed.
Did you do a factory reset before you frooze those apps? If not, I guess you have found the problem.
Maybe you should try to unfreeze them one by one?
Edit: One of my settings for SetCPU was to set the CPU to 100 MHz when the screen turned off. Could be something...
I found this in another forum:
"i figured out why SetCPU makes my phone never wake up, the settings i was using was ondemand 100 min 1000 max. SetCPU is set to 100 in standby and this is just too slow and puts the phone completely to sleep.
ive since moved up the phone to 400 min and ive gone a day without any sleeping.

Yes, I factory reset. But it does look like SetCPU. I unfroze WidgetLocker overnight and no problem.
I also had a 100MHz setting when the screen turned off. So I think we have found the problem I guess I'll ask Chainfire why 100MHz no longer seems to work, but it did on 2.2. I'm a bit worried about the battery now...
I was working on a captivate today that boots straight to download mode when i hold the power button to turn it on.
I tried odin one click back to stock. Everything flashed fine but as soon as i shut off the phone and try to power it back on, it goes straight to download mode again. It seems as if the 3 button combo is automaticly applied as soon as i go to power on the phone.
Has anyone encountered this type of problem? If so i politely ask for your help if you have found a fix
Thanks.

A friend faced a similar problem some time back and i think its not still rectified, it is some kind of shorting inside the phone.
he was running CM7 on and no GB boot loaders were flashed ever.......i think time to give him a call to ask was it solved.....will let know.
cool thanks for lookin into it i had a couple phones come in all with the same problem. they are all running on android os and they are all samsungs. i find it weird. samsung ACE, samsung Captivate, and an I9000. i did a thorough inspection on the ace and i found no liquid damage. did the same on the i9000 and there was some heavy corrosion found on the board. just before closing shop last night i went ahead and opened up the captivate and i found a very small area of corrosion where the charge port rests on the housing, i didnt have any time left to stay and clean it so i left it for monday im hoping that that has something to do with the autokick into download mode.
as far as software wise, i tried to flash the phone to stock and it took me a couple tries before i was successful, and it still kicked into DL mode as soon as i shut it down and powered it back on. so i flashed to 2.3 GB went to have a smoke during the flash, got back and found the phone running nice and healthy till i shut it down and restarted it, the end result was the same.
NOTE: with this autokick into download mode problem i am not able to enter recovery mode via the button combo.
check for dirt/ debris in the usb port.
More than likely the problem is actually a bad PARAMS.lfs file. Reflash the entire thing. You can find Heimdall One-Clicks here: http://files.teamkomin.com/index.php?dir=Captivate/ Enable bootloader flashing to reflash the params.
Were u able to correct this ?
