HELP - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downgraded my Samsung Captivate using Odin and now am trying to use Samsung Kies Mini to upgrade to the official Froyo build. However Samsung Kies Mini recognizes my phone as an "unregistered device" and I have tried everything an I'm still very confused. What can I do to fix the issue?

WHY would you do this? What part of "DE-VELOP-MENT" does this fall under, when there's a lovely Q&A section to this forum?

Bricked Phone, Help!

Well, here's the history how I got my phone Samsung Galaxy S I9000 bricked.
5 months ago, I rooted my phone with One Click Lag Fix, and recently it's starting to force closing my apps, so I decided to factory reset my phone.
After that, my phone nows only boot into the splash screen, and vibrates once, and then twice ( I think it means force close.)
Any help would be nice. Help! I really need to get my phone fix.

HELP!!
OK: Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881#14273114
Download Odin, pick a stock firmware for your region (for now try to match it to froyo 2.2 (or 2.2.1) or GB 2.3.3 (or 2.3.4).
Follow the guides on the linked thread, reflash (I'd try without repartitioning to start), test.
follow up with any questions or problems once you look and try the stuff linked.

KIES update very Slow. Try Odin
When I find a version I like, I'll try... For now I will continue with this one..

update your phone after 11 pm or update your phone by OTA
Odin will help you. It it thought to be stable and safe just like Kies. And easy, too
I would not have problems using the odin and i believe he is well stable... But I will not have problems with the warranty of my device wich had problems and returned a short time of the repair.

tablet won't start after installing custom rom

Hi, I have a rooted galaxy tab. I recently just installed a custom rom and after, it doesn't boot anymore? It only stucks at the boot screen. May I know what's the issue here? Is it a brick or something? Any helps appreciated. Tks!
it sounds like a soft brick, which isn't too bad at all Just switch your tab over to Download Mode and then flash another ROM that is confirmed working on your device.
A hard brick would be if your tab didn't power on in any way at all no matter what, and that would be pretty bad :/
Hi, tks for ur reply! Do u mind telling me where to download those roms? Tks once again!

Hi! I managed to get my rom on samfirmware.com and even flashed it via odin. But one thing, it managed to go the boot screen but then it doesn't move at the "samsung" glowing screen after that. Did I do anything wrong?
Your best bet will be to restock according to Overcome method.

You may have a corrupted /dbdata. If that's true, no matter how many new ROMs or firmwares you install, it won't help you.
This should take care of your problem:

Hi! Tks for your advice. I just read through the restocking steps on the teamovercome.net. But I've got a question. Is it compulsory to actually install the overcome kernel and rom?

I installed overcome kernel with many other rom before moving to redpill (because of bluetooth keyboard compatibility). It works great with most of rom 2.3.3 and 2.3.6 base. Don't hesitate to try the kernel with other rom.
Btw, did you try pushing new pit file through odin?

I haven't tried this process yet cause I am curious whether if its necessary to flash the kernel and the rom. But since its good, I will try it later! Tks btw.

Always said that the device wasnt recognised or something. So my question is, what is the latest stock firmware for the Captivate and how can i flash it?
Thanks!
latest official supported version is 2.3.5, KK4 -gingerbread.
you can find links to stock roms and tools for flashing in the stickies at the top in the captivate android development forum.

[Q] GT-P6200 stuck on Android 3.2 no baseband [wierd]

Hy guys,
After spending 5h researching my problem i have decided to ask professional help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P6200 running on android 3.2. I tried to upgrade to ICS but i had no luck.
I used odin 1.85 and 3.04 followed the instructions step by step, used heimdall didn't work. Tried two diffrent firmware P6200XXLQ1_P6200OXALQ1_ATO and P6200XXLQ7_P6200XEULP1_XEU. It stuck on SetupConection... and it fails with odin 3.04, i used pit and re-partition an still no luck.
The thing is that it would not connect to Kies, the pc recognize it u can browse the files download the pictures, browse sd card, but not connect to kies (don't know why). I took a picture for u guys to see what i think is wierd.
What do you guys think are my chances to update to ics or other firmware better than 3.2 because i hate the way it works right now.
The chance should be higher at P6200 forum.
This is P1000 forum.
