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

[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.

[Q] I think I bricked my Note

Hello, I'm new here, so I don't know if I posted this in the right forum, but I have a big problem. So today I rooted my GT-N7000 and everything was fine, but then I replaced the digital clock with the digital clock of the Galaxy S4 (I found the apk here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208158) but something must have gone wrong because when I rebooted my Phone, I wasn't able to enter my PIN-Code, because my screen didn't respond anymore. Then I rebooted my Phone and it got stuck at the "Samsung" Screen. Every time I now reboot my phone it gets stuck there. When I rooted my Phone I did it by installing PhilZ 4.93.6 signed Kernel through stock recovery. So I went into recovery mode and did a factory reset. Then I rebooted my Phone and went trough the set up manager, but when I wanted to finish the set up manager my Phone shut down and restarted, then it got stuck on the Samsung Screen again.
Before rooting my phone was on stock ROM XXLT4.
Is there anything I can do to fix my Phone? Please, I need your help :/
Also: sorry for mistakes in my Post, but I'm from germany

You could install the rom again using odin. This will overwrite any bad flashed flashed during mod installation.

Samsung logo boot loop, totally stuck

Hey guys, my phone got totally stuck on a Samsung logo (neverending loop).
Yesterday I let my bro play an Angry Birds on my phone. After a while I took my phone back and to my surprise it wasn't responding. Mobile was turned on (connected to the charger) but all I could see was a black screen. I tried restarting my phone by removing battery but it didn't help at all. I got stuck at Cyanogen Mod logo everytime. Since I haven't updated my firmware in a while I decided to intstall the newest version of CM (KitKat 4.4.4 from novafusion.pl) using Odin app. After a successful installation my phone still didn't boot up, I was getting stuck on a blue CM logo. After this I wanted to wipe my cache/dalvik cache but I wasn't able to get into recovery mode (getting stuck on a TeamWin screen). Reinstalling TWRP and installing ClockWork recovery didn't have any effect. I wiped my phone using .tar file found on this forums, tried reinstalling my ROM recovery many times, tried installing param file (don't even know what's that) and resetting three button combination using Benzonat0r's mod. None of these things seemed to have any impact. I'm still not able to get into recovery neither boot my phone up - Samsung logo bootloop. What am I supposed to do to unbrick my phone?
On a side note my knowledge about Android phones is tiny so please consider this. Also forgive me my poor grammar, not a native English speaker here.

Put your phone in download-mode and connect it to computer.

You will end up with a "La'Fleur" branded phone, but no worries!
Just go to download mode again and flash a custom recovery and after that a ROM of your choice.
The three button combo will still work!!
This is not my work, give my friend @tyson a thanks for that!

I tried installing stock recovery and ROM. After completed installation I finally managed to pass Samsung screen. I got to the something like Android installation screen and my phone suddenly shut down. Now it's totally bricked, I can't turn it on nor get into the download mode. Charging progress doesn't show up while phone is plugged in neither. Any help?

Hey dude, I wish I saw your reply earlier. If my phone wasn't bricked now I'd give it a shot.

Rooted Note stuck on boot screen, after factory reset[emoji848][emoji848]

I hope someone can help me.
I have an old galaxy note GT-N7000 which I still use and it’s rooted. Recently it has been giving me issues so I decided to do a factory reset which I thought would just fix everything. However, it just got stuck on the Samsung Galaxy note screen. It also only boots into download mode, not recovery mode & I have tried all the tricks and still it will not boot to the home screen.
I have downloaded a stock N7000 stock rom to flash back to stock, the Jodin program, including the pit file, but as soon as it connects and tells me to press start, all it says is running but does nothing. It will not allow me to flash anything.
Any idea why it’s stuck on the boot screen and how can I fix this? Should I have wiped something before doing a factory reset, as I don’t have a clue. Also if it’s best that I put a latest rom on it, I’ll be cool with it, as long as I can get it working again
Cheers for any help guys...
Thanks
