[Q] Is it over for my captivate??? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a captivate (UCJH7)...
i flashed a few different roms then i flashed back to stock using 'I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe'.. then it stopped going into download/recovery.Then i udated to 2.2 using kies. Then i wanted to flash cognition so i used adb to went to download mode. i flashed the speedmod kernel using odin and it rebooted and then "PHONE ! COMPUTER" symbol..
I cannot boot..
All i see is the phone ! comp symbol
I used 3 button combo,
tried removing everyting and holdin vol up+down then putting the battery
Odin doesnt recognize the phone and adb doesnt list any connected device
DOES THIS MEAN ITS OVER.. is it permanant brick?
or is there anything i can do???
everything i did uptill now was with the forums help so maybe somone has a solution
Thanx in advance

Remove Battery insert usb cable hold vol up/down power put in batt release power button only keep holding vol up/down should go right in to download mode. I've done this many a time.

o/` Search the forums, buy a jig, doo-dah doo-dah,
People create threads about this exact problem, all the live long day o/`

if you get it up and going with the above meathod (should work) then definately use the 3-button fix next time. only once though because flashing bootloaders can be dangerous. once the recovery mode is working with button combo then flash speedmod (as long as the rom you want is on the sd card) or flash 2.2 then speedmod so the phone will be bootable.
also i'd redownload speedmod if you want to start over. could have been a bad download. also could have been a windows problem or a bad cable. hope you get it working.

Then purchase one or make your own. There's no need to cut up a cable.

I had this same thing one where no button combo worked to get into download mode. Turns out that i needed to restart my computer. who would have thought.

Pheww! I was out of hopes and was definitely going to buy the jig but just to see what happens if I pressed and hold the 3 buttons I long pressed them and the symbol disappeared and then came back then disappeared again then i left the buttons cuz I thought ill definitely need a jig so I let the buttons go and BAM! I was in download mode and I flashed serendipity

Not unbrickable, just harder then most phones to brick.

I am on ROM number 3 and have yet to run into any problems, but will be trading an extended life i9000 battery to a friend who has 2 jigs. The batt was sent to me by mistake, and is being replaced without me having to send back (not worth the shipping cost to the seller), so that works out for both of us.
.. And yes, it will turn my cappy into a camel, but I'm ok with that.

[Q] Galaxy tab nighmare :s

Hi guys.
I kinda mad a big mistake. I have a galaxy tab p1000 and mistakenly flashed a firmware which belongs to p1010. Yeah silly!!!!!! The flash was successful but it totally killed the tab. It will not boot at all no power whatsoever. I left it in the charger for like two hours nothing
is there hope?? Or did that firmware do damage to the tab?? Can i repair it myself or does it need to go to be revived at samsung. Or i hung myself???
Help please.
Have you tried booting into download mode? Once you do, flash it back to stock. You can find stock ware in the dev section. Doubt its truly bricked.

Yeah i have tried the two button combo. Power button and volume down but i get no response. I duno wsup. I cant get power on the damn thing??? Cant get into download mode : s
Try what was done in this post...it seems that even though the screen was blank, he was actually in download mode, and able to flash.

Just curious...
If you just bricked your tab, why does your Signature show that you're using a GT-P1000 to post?
Well i am lucky to have 2 tabs and galaxy s. Imma a samsung fanboy/man. And it pains me to know i might have bricked one tab. If u will be so kind n give me a solution??
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Thinking that your battery has been ran out.
Just left it to charge for 4-5 hours and try again.
Bricking the device isn't such easy. I made unbelieveble things with my tabs but got it to work again. But I also stucked to that battery thing.
Did you flash the bootloader as well? If you did and the bootloader goes out to lunch, then the Oden/Heimdall tools won't be of much use. In such a case you might be able to find some instruction on how to use a JTAG module to fix the tab. Though, taking the device apart is probably not a trivial thing.
I flashed the tab with firmware from the p1010 tab and mines p1000. So im assuming it erased everything. How much can a service repair cost??Cause if there is no option apart from jtag. I have to to send it in!!!!!
As i cant get any response whatsoever. Left it overnight charging, plugged it into the comp restarting stuff. Tried tricking it by plugging galaxy s and tab at the same time. But nothing.?????

Brand new bricked please help!

Ok lets get straight to the point, I got a brand new captivate from at&t. Ive always used custom roms but never had an android. So of course i wanted to flash a custom rom. So i prepared my phone and followed ALL instructions for flashing a custom ROM. I couldnt run any update.zip files thoe because of the stupid verify thing. So LISTEN, I took the patch that patches 3e recovery back to 2e recovery aka kernal swap.....then everything worked fine and i got cwm to load and installed Apex_7.
AFTER the install was complete i was so excited. I selected reboot now, the AT&T logo came up and then the screen went all jacked up(looked like a broke screen) then went to the samsung logo and just keeps replaying it.
So after seeing this i freaked out and pulled the battery. Then i went and researched before doing anything else i came to the conclusion i needed to download odin pre-packed so i downloaded the odin stock installer.
Now LISTEN I put my phone into download mode ran odin and it said it succesfuly installed after about 3 minutes. So i then turn the phone off then turned it back on, it booted to the at&t logo then the screen goes black and loads at&t logo again (constant loop that heats the phone up)
AND NOW if i try to get into download mode it goes to the battery screen with no animation just a battery and a loading symbol
ALSO( I have made a usb jig ) BUT my ohm meter will not read the resistance of more than 2 resistors when i add the third one it reads it really fast and then shows nothing.
PLEASE HELP ME I LOVE THIS PHONE MORE THAN MY IPHONE OR MY HTC.
Credit will be given. I know someone here can save me from the dreaded face-to-face with at&t!!!!
Edit: Also when i got the phone i noticed a line of dead pixels on the left side very hard to see unless u look closely think i could get the phone replaced by using this as my excuse. idk what to say to AT&T if i do have to return. But i really hope not ive never ever had such problems flashing anyphone.
Please do not double post. You already asked (correctly) in the Apex sticky. No need to start another separate thread.
I posted both places because my problem may or may not be related to Apex. If Apex has nothing todo with my problem then i have correctly posted here.
Edit: Im trying to kill 2 birds with 1 stone
You are not fully bricked if your phone powers on at all. Just need a working jig. You can buy them from multiple sources

Finally shed me some light. Thats awsome dude thanks. I made my jig exactly how they make theres it wont work. The only thing i can think is im touching the wrong pins. I touch the top and bottom pins on the micro usb closest to the 3.5mm headphone jack???
It takes allot of trail and error and if the resistance is not right it won't work. purchase one from somewhere, search captivate usb jig on youtube, should find a source

Thanks il try a couple more times with my homemade jig if not il purchase one.
Thanks again.
You'll need to build a new jig or buy one(Moiletechvideos is what I would suggest), because if you can't get into download mode then you cannot be helped any further. And Miami_Son is right, you're not exempt from the rules. I realize it can be frustrating if something goes wrong, but you need to just cast that aside for the time being.

Ok i had my buddy come over and tried his jig that he bought online it looked like it had been manufactured just to be a jig we plugged it in and nothing ? any ideas
and i posted in the Apex thread to see if anyone could link my problem to apex then i also posted a similar story here to find a solution to my problem the Apex thread is just to narrow down the cause.
First, what is your phones revision ( on the back of phone, like 1008 ,1101 etc. ) i would just start over. Get that
phone in download mode, search for A10 TOOLBOX/captivate toolbox, everything you need is there. Two. Did your 3button combo work before? And your sure you cant get into recovery by your buttons?

I appreciate you taking your time to help. My phone is the SGH-I897 i could still use the 3 button combo before Odin and recovery but after i ran odin thats when everything got really jacked up now i cant get into recovery or download i think im not doing this jig thing right but if im correct i have a striped usb plug. With the screen facing down i have three prongs on the bottom and two on the top i touch the far right prongs top and bottom and hold for about 10 seconds. Thanks dude seriously I just got this phone and loved it but got tired of at&t bloating my phone with bs that eats my memory.
EDIT: the number next to the big CE is 0168 or what u might want is 1105 rev 0.4
EDIT: Also i dont understand what the diff is between rogers 2.6 and captivate 2.5 and how can i use these tools without a booting phone.

Does your buddies JIG work just fine in other phones? If so you may have a short in pin 4 or 5 of your USB port. Are you able to issue the "adb reboot download" command when the phone is bootlooping? I have ADB command videos on youtube just search for them for help on that. Either way if you can't get it resolved with any conventional methods, I can restore the phone using advanced JTAG just PM me for info.

No problem bro, if i help just hit thanks. If cant figure our making the jig, i would just buy. Its a good investment for the future especially if tour flashing roms. Mobiletechvideos has one for 8 bucks and ships in couple days. They work wonders. The A10 toolbox/ captivate toolbox. Worka great, just search google and. Install it. Its got everything youll need packed inside. EX: it comes with the drivers, odin1click and 3buttonfix odin ( which youll need to do)
It also comes with the pda and tar files youll need, it also lets you root it but i suggest the one click root for captivate, get all that done first and well go from there.

[Q] Is this a "bricked" Note?

Hey every1!
I was hoping that my first post here would be something more funny then this... But... you can´t always get what you wan´t.
My problem... My note is completly dead!
I was messing around with editing some pictures i just took on the kids when my phone just frooze... I then held the powerbutton for about 15sec before it died. After that... stonedead!
No matter what i do with it, it´s just black and doesn´t respond to anything.
- Had 20+% battery in it when it frooze, i´ve tried to charge it but no difference.
- Had the battery pulled for 30mins+ , no change.
- Can´t get to recovery mode whatever i do.
- Connected it do the computer, no sound no nuttin.
The phone is/was rooted, running rocketrom V.20 with abyssnote kernel 3.3 when it died.
Haven´t had any issues with it until now.
So... Any ideas on what i should try next? Besides using it as a really expensive paperweight that is
HELP!! =)

Well... Been charging the brick overnight (12+ hours), and still not a single sign of life.
I guess there's nuttin more to it then to return it.
Hopefully they won't notice the root and custom rom and kernel, i meen... It's completly dead so it shouldn't be a problem right?!
If you find, try other battery once.
- Use JIG
Switch off your phone and take out the battery for 15-20 seconds
Install the battery back but DO NOT turn it on
Plug this USB JIG DONGLE into the micro-USB port of the phone
Wait for a few seconds. You should see the Download Mode logo on the screen.
Unplug the module.

If i had a jig i would have tried that for sure. However, i got fed up on trying so it's now returned to the store and sent away for service.
Ty every1 for ur efforts with trying to aid me!
I would be interested to see what Samsung say if they noticed the root... might make me think twice about rooting it on such a expensive device. Good luck though!

Hey!
Yes, great news actually!
I got it back like 5 days ago...
And, it was the main circuit board that had faulted! That ment they couldn´t get the info of it ,or atleast they decided that it would be to much trouble to do so.
So it´s now back and running again... rooted, running RR v22 and franco kernel v6
Didn´t cost me anything
Hopefully it won´t happen again thoo... I can´t be without it anymore! Used my old 3gs when it was on service... goddam hated it!

Didn´t cost me anything
Hopefully it won´t happen again thoo... I can´t be without it anymore! Used my old 3gs when it was on service... goddam hated it!

First and for most I want to congratulate you on having your phone back & fully functional again. I too am in the same situation right now where my phone is hard bricked and can't turn on in any shape or form. I sen't it to a local shop to fix who do Jtag for this phone but say they can't get it to start. I wanted to know when you said "the main circuit board that had faulted" did they replace any parts? or just flash software with JTag again? Any help would be really appreciated.
Did yummy take out the battery and then insert it and den did yu try booting it up????
press thanx if I helped yu sent from sga

Is my Captivate bricked?

I trying loading using Odin but it got stuck at "Setting up connection"
I then restarted PC and did it again and this time it went 2 more steps and then the screen became completely GREEN
Then I did the whole exercise again and now the screen became PINK
Now I am not even able to get into DOWNLOAD MODE...and neither do I see [mobile]![PC] icons.
Nothing happens. Is my phone now really bricked?
Please help! I am now worried about this
If the phone shows signs of life then its not bricked.
Also please don't create multiple threads on the same problem. It just clutters the forums even more.
I think I do not see any signs. It does not show anything on the screen even after trying download mode or recover mode. Powering on the phone also does nothing. I even kept the phone on charging the whole night but during the charging I did not see the usual green battery animation.
Is there anything left? Looks like I literally destroyed my working phone running 2.2. just by trying to upgrade it to 2.3 through Kies and then later using Odin.
I am very disappointed that how poor Samsung support is that a mere upgrade attempt destroys the phone. I had bought this phone 18 months ago by paying 540 $ and I now see it go down the drain
You can attempt contacting samsung if it was messed up with Kies but doubt they would do anything. But Kies is crap anyways. You can how ever attempt (or pay someone) to apply Unbrickable Mod (Adam Outler or MobileTechVideos.com)
there is one last thing you can try.
start odin on pc
take battery out of phone
put battery in
hold both volume buttons
plug USB cord in from pc to phone
if odin box turns yellow press start to flash a firmware!
it very rarely happens that you can do this but if you can, congratulations.
What odin u using ?

Thanks for the reply.
Will the "jig" hack work? My phone is totally unresponsive. No matter what I press nothing displays on the phone.

UMB..watching the videos looks like i will need some hardware hacker to fix it. Do you suggest a hardware novice should try it or leave it to the professional?

I contacted Adam and he has agreed to offer his expert services. Now the problem is that I am in India and I can ship it to US but it will cost me dearly when he ships back because of the Indian custom rules. They will tread my repaired phone as a new one and add 15% duty costing me more than original phone cost.
So I am thinking of sending it through my friend who is visiting US later this month. However, I was looking around and found this link.

Do you think this is something I should try? I already have good Arduino UNO toolkit.

What you should know is Jtaging requires you to solder 6 very small spots vs UBM is 2 spots (I believe) and UBM will make your phone umbrickable. You could find a tech near you live that's good with a solder gun? Adam has a thread explaining the method.

No. I have not.
(a) How can it be done. I already have the Android SDK installed on my PC.
(b) My phone is totally non-responsive...it is totally blank black screen. Will adb work?
Adb requires phone on or in recovery

You are totally right ,He is lie.I tell him to tell me the truth and it's totally hard brick.But i think best is JTAG .
Keep calm, JTAG is the last thing if everything else fails. So you are NOT able to access recovery or download mode?
Try a JIG and put the battery in while the JIG is plugged in.

Agree - if you can't buy one (JIG) - make one from old cable - just ensure your total resistor value is 301ohm - Out here in africa I had to use 3 resistors to get to that value ...
