Does any one know how to solve this problem?
my phone was running the Cognition 4.2.1, and then I saw the CyanogenMod 7, which looked way cooler, then I follow the video from the link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978150
(maybe I did not restore to Android 2.1) and then I flashed the Speed mod and my phone was dead since that, it stayed on one screen when I tried to turn it on, 3 button mode to recovery did not work either. here is the picture that I took with the dead screen, has anyone seen this one before, plz let me know, I really appreciate your help.

Can you get into do mode?

Yeah, if you can get to download mode, you can flash back to stock using odin. There are a few ways to get to download mode. You can try holding vol up and vol down buttons while plugging the phone into your computer. If that doesn't work, there is a way to force boot into download using a simple and inexpenisve jig. Basically, you take three 100ohm resistors and wire them together. Then, you touch the leads to pin 4&5 of the micro usb connector. This should boot you into download mode, but I have never tested it. I got this information from here on xda, but I can't remember the exact post. Just search for captivate jig, and you should be able to find the topic covering these jigs. Also, the topic will give you much better instructions on how to make the jig. Hope you get unbricked!!

ROM: Cognition v4.1.1

Modem: I897 UCJJ4 w/ HSUPA/HSDPA enabled
And for the future, there's a dedicated CM7 thread for Q&As. There's been a real increase in people failing the flashing process for CM7 these days, and it would be much better for people to have it in one thread (so others can learn from it as well).
But for your current issue, you will have to try and get it to Download Mode. If you can't, then you're in a bit of trouble I'm afraid.
looks like you will be learning how to make a jig, if none of the other ways to force it into download mode worked. Please know what you are doing before trying things or this is what happens. CM7 doesnt work with that kernel, I think there is only one that does work with it.

Sorry if this comes off as noobish but is there anyway to flash over to stock Gingerbread (and eventually to a custom rom) w/o the use of Odin? I've tried to search but didn't really see anything that clarified this for me. My phone just doesn't want to work with ODIN at all...it will pick it up every once in awhile but only when the phone is powered completely on. I've installed, deleted, reinstalled drivers/kies etc. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me resolve this issue!

you can give heimdall a try, but if you are talking about a cwm flash then no, you cannot. flashing bootloaders in cwm is WAY more risky than using odin or heimdall.
My main issue is that I cant keep my laptop to recognize my phone in the first place...like I said earlier, I tried various drivers including the ones from Samsung and Softpedia...And whenever I do get it to respond, it wont recognize it in download mode at all...thanks though...the only thing that I haven't really tried was a new cable...will be purchasing one later...I feel so left behind on my roms lol. I was able to flash Froyo with no prob...now its so many out that I can't get my hands on...
I would try thee drivers from dg (designgears ) thread in development. It also might recognize better from stock also.

I'm in the same situation from time to time on my work laptop. Not sure it's gonna mather for your situation but i found that if i undock and redock the computer Odin then recognize the phone again when it goes foobar. (I only use the laptop usb port and not the docking station ones).
My SGS has developed a fault 2 days ago I switched the phone off & the next thing I know is I get what looks like a battery laid on its side on the main screen, it appears for 15 seconds then dissapears for 15 seconds & repeats. I can find no way to turn the phone back on while it is like this & have resorted to reloading 2.3 Gingerbread but if once reloaded I then switch the phone off then the problem comes back.
Has anybody come across this problem before & knows how to cure it or is my phone knackered ?
I tried to add a picture of the symbol on the screen & I do not have enough posts to be allowed to.
Have you tried charging it? Silly question but you would be surprised.......

No question is silly, but yes I have charged it
Have you tried flashing a "stock Rom" yet?...
Hopefully this will mean more to you than it does to me !
Is this a "stock rom" :-
firmware 2.3.3
Baseband version I9000XXJVK
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVK-CL75655 [email protected]#2
Gingerbread.XXJVK
If it is not a stock rom were can I find one ?
Thanks
Colin

Many thanks, just installed jvq but still have same fault
I would try an ezbase flash, search in dev for ezbase and follow instructions to the letter, this should get you up and running on a basic rooted deodexed rom, from there you can try a reflash of whatever you want

This is the symbol on screen :-

It is showing a small round mobile phone, 2 dots, a ! inside an orange triangle, 2 more dots, and a computer.
This is the first time I'm seeing this screen.
Edit: Just to give some insight as to what I was doing...
I was using a SGT7 build of CM9, and I noticed USB Tethering wasn't working (native nor Wired Tether 1.4 worked). I had to run to a friends house for the night real fast, so I figured I'd just go back to Stock firmware and use that for a few hours just so my desktop could get Internet.
I am also using Windows 8 Release Preview. Odin could see my device fine, but upon pressing Start to start the flashing process, it did nothing (I'm guessing Odin or Samsung's drivers don't work well on W8RP). No progress was made on either Odin or my tab for about 5 minutes. Since nothing was done, I figured I could close Odin, and restart my Tab. Now I only get this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I immediately went to the "How To Unbrick Your Galaxy Tab!" thread, but didn't find mention of the screen I described in this post, and then I made this post in panic.
When I went back to Windows 7, Odin was able to reflash my tab successfully, and USB Tethering was working fine. So perhaps Windows 8 has some weird incompatibility with Samsung Drivers? In any case, this might serve as a warning to anyone trying to use Odin in Windows 8.
I think it was mentioned in a few threads.
Many confirmed that it is another download mode.
You just have to make sure it is fully charged, and keep trying Odin restocking. It will go through.
(I never experienced it myself)
Edit: many reference, just search in here fore "phone exclamation pc"
Yea it would seem it's another download mode. I was able to flash with Odin just fine in Windows 7, so all is well again
i have said this in many threads. this is the result of faulty flashing. just use the latest version of odin
please thank me if you found this helpful

Background:
Captivate was running SlimICS 4.1. I had trouble connecting to the PC and ramdom widgets crashing. Decide to give Milestone 6 a try while I wait for JB. I flashed Glitch 20120520.1522 before I flashed M6 (to avoid Status 7 error), then realized that kernel had TWRP, Rom installation freezes. Restarted, stuck on Glitch splash screen.
Troubleshooting so far:
Odinf Oneclick and Odin 3 both show yellow in fort box.Tried flashing Speedmod kernel, so I could flash custom ROM. OidnOneClick or Odin3 do not get beyond SetupConnection. Heimdall on Ubuntu also rcognizes the phone, but does not get beyong loading kernel. Now phone is in Phone /!\PC screen, but the problems persist. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing drivers, from all different choices (Samsung, KIES, AIO Toolkit. Nothing seems to work.
I have been up for almost 26 hours. I hope someone finds a solution and shares it with me. I am sure I'm missing something,due to my lack of sleep.
Please help me.
Edit: Looking over my post, I can tell it's difficult to even tell that my problem is. I apologize, I was falling asleep at the keyboard last night. I took a screen shot of my problem with Odin.
Odin does not go beyond SetupConnection and just hangs there indefinately. Has anyone had this problem before? How did you solve it?
See the Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help Stickied Thread in the General Forum.

I have solved the problem. I uninstalled all drivers, ran CCCleaner, and used Ubuntu to flash Official KB2 by AdamOutler. I guess that I was so tired last night and desperate (I was falling asleep at my desk while trying to restore the phone) that I was not going through all the motions. Anyway, thanks a lot for the help 4-2ndtwin. Haven't seen much from you since the Illuminance days. Hope everything is well!
Yep...Still around...try to lend a helping hand when i can...
Glad u got it going !

Hey guys,
Today i bought the SGS 1 from a friend just for flashing and fooling around a bit (i am not a developer i just enjoy flashing and trying different ROMs and also beeing able to give feedback )
So my primary phone is a htc vision (desire z) and there i only flash with CMW
after some reading i rooted the SGS via z4root.apk cus he still was/is on 2.2
No problem with that, now i have superuser, all good and nice, then i googled what recovery app i can use on samsung devices, and it turned out that i can use my beloved CMW. after 2min i had it installed and the recovery thing flashed and now i wanted to reboot into recovery mode and here is where i have my problem.
I can't choose a zip file
After searching here on xda a bit i couln't find any similar problem so i started this thread
My CMW looks like this:

The phone specs are:
Firmware-Version: 2.2
Kernel-Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Buildnumber: FROYO.XWJPA
I hope someone could help me

//EDIT: so i did some research and some trial and error
And it all comes down to one main problem:
My pc wont recognise the sgs, neither as a mount of sdcard (usb debugging) nor with kies or odin
Any idea why? I tried two different cables and still nothing works
Kinda despair here :/

If you have installed drivers, try different usb ports.

Tried it and didn't work :/
My PC doesnt recognise it, also when on debugging (as said) but it somehow recognises that some usb device is connected (the icon for safe-remove on the right bottom pops up)
Could it be that i only got the usb cable from my htc, cus the original usb cable is still at my friend's place.
Greets Vauvenal7
Could fix it
Reason why it wasnt recognized was because it was rooted
Opend the z4root app again, did unroot it and booom, it was recognized
