soft brick please help

Hey i know the answers are here but the only net access i have is on my phone its really hard to find answers.
That being said i tried flashing my gfs stock 2.2 captivate with the fire fly rom via rom manager. Now it is stuck at the att logo screen. I tried doing 3button recovery but couldn't get in. I can get in downloading mode though. Can you give me stock tar file to flash thru Odin please or just the link also i made a nandroid backup with cmw but can't get into recovery. Thank you guys
dont know how your going to do it if you only have internet on your phone... but if you do at some point have access to a computor i would suggest the odin one click to revert to stock 2.1 but thats only if the phone came with 2.1 if it came with 2.2 i'm not exaactly sure what you would do but ive heard some horror stories of new bricked capivates because of using the one click.
so to recap if it came with 2.1 use this

Thanks for the reply. I will have access to PC later that's why i want to gather info now. Anyway the phone actually came with the 2.2. Maybe there's a stock 2.2 tar somewhere to flash via Odin? Is there any other way i can try to get into recovery cause i made a backup. I tried holding volume up with home button and power button but it just keeps restarting. Also tried letting go of the power button while holding the two still.
ah... well thats your problem. volume, home and power is the i9000 captivate is both volumes and power and then release once you see the [email protected] logo. i see your on tmobile so im guessing your on the vibrant... ok so once you volume up down and power you should get into clockwork from there wipe dalvic factory reset and wipe cache should boot from there and if not just say and ill try to find the answer in the meantime
Thanks for your replies man i tried both volumes and power button followed by a release at att logo but nothing happens just sits there..
Anyone has a tar i can use to bring me to stock via Odin?i know there's got to be one.. i can get into download mode but can't get into recovery... bummer.
Sorry just read whit i typed and realized i said it wrong. you hold down all three buttons then release the power when you see the at&t logo but continue holding the volume rockeruntill it boots to clockwork
i just got to my pc. i tried that as well with no luck. any other suggestions?
Do the same procedure but let the boot screen process cycle through twice and then release the power button.

If all of your apps/contacts are backed up i would suggest just reflashing stock JF6 eclair via OdinOneClick.

[Q] PLEASE HELP ME! i'm on a boot loop and can't access eaiter recovery nor download!

something went wrong when installing continuum rom into my captivate, now i'm stuck on boot loop (i loops when the continuum animation happens) and i can't get into either recovery nor download mode when i try to get into download with the vol +/- and usb plug method it displays the battery charging logo and won't get into download
please help i've read about the jig but i don't think i can make one (don't even have the tools) and i would buy one but they don't sell those in my country
i'm panicking even more because i bought this phone unlocked and it doesn't have warranty
Don't panic just yet. If you were flashing the most recent continuum, that means you probably have the Gingerbread bootloaders. If that's the case, try holding Vol + and power through two power cycles to get to recovery, or vol - and power to get to download mode.
Go to the Continuum thread, there you will find a link for their irc chatroom, it's easier and faster to get help there.

[Q] Phone stuck on first boot screen after flashing DarkyROM 10.2

I have have flash many roms in the past without a problem so I am relatively experienced with it. This last time that I flashed it has become stuck on the first boot screen that shows GALAXY S GT-I900 in white and 'powered by DarkCore...' etc. I realize sometimes it takes a while for the first boot when flashing a new rom, bu this has been over 30 mins. I decided to try and boot into recovery and re-flash it, but it won't boot to recovery! I hold down volume up, home and power and it just cycles between screen off and the first boot screen and never gets to recovery. If anyone has any suggestions on what to do to fix it I would love to hear it. I fear something bad happened somehow.
Use the android SDK to boot into download mode via ADB or buy a jig from eBay if download mode isn't working dude, or you can try this....take battery out, hold vol up + home + power, and shove battery back in, it does get fiddly so its handy to have someone to help lol

I haven't faced such a prob. So I don't know if this method would work but someone else also suggested the same method to the same problem in a thread so giving it a try won't be a waste!

[Q] (soft)bricked galaxy s?

Hello everybody,
I have a question regarding the actual situation of my phone since nobody on here seemed to had the same issue.
My diagnosis is that my phone is softbricked.
If I try to boot it normally the first Galaxy S logo appears but when the loading animation is supposed to begin, it doesn't. Additionally my phone vibrates one time with a logn vibration and after half a second with 3 short vibrations, looping on this situation.
Neither download mode or recovery mode button combo seems to work.
If I start with one of the two and release the keys as soon as the first logo appears it will be stuck at boot vibrating as above, if i don't release them, it just keeps rebooting.
Do you think I could get out of this with a download mode usb jig?
Thanks in advance
Soft brick......Yes to the jig.......try adb commands if you can get a connection..."adb reboot download"
Edit: Also have you read the many other attempts to try get to download... without battery but plugged in then combo, holding combo then putting battery in (no cable), finally cable and battery in then combo... i think there are a few more....
Also i hope you came across this
Telling us what you have done to your phone will help greatly!
What rom on /from, kernel, theme - what were you doing when it went tits-up?

try removing your battery for a few seconds. then hold down the vol down+power+menu then insert the battery while holding the 3 buttons to display the download mode.

I tried almost every combination I could find out on the net but nothing else happens, I've bought a jig on ebay and it should arrive in a couple of days. I will try and update ASAP.

Nep, I can't, I can't boot into download mode, and i can't do wipe
It's so complicated for me
That's weird. I assume the power button seems to be faulty. Were you running a stock rom? Did that happen out of the blue?

My Pc can't read the usb phone, I looked for all solution, and I tried them all, no hope
so im here needing ur help
thank you
What if you pull out battery for some minutes and then try to start your phone? Doesn't work either?
And my other questions? What did you do before that boot loop happened? Are you running stock ROM and stock recovery?
Btw you don't have to quote each post, it is easier for reading
I give you a summary of the situation
I have a 9305 Black edition SIII, it restarts in a loop, and I can not charge the battery gets stuck with low battery and reboute yet, I even tried a different battery type EB-L1G6LLU and it lasts for two week almost;
The download mode does not work, every time I enabled it restarts,
The recovery mode to wipe the same, it does not even appear,
I tried to connect via keis Odin and the other failure of the operation
I even tried to change the connector, the same thing
Frankly I do not know what to do, If you have a tip, hint is welcome
What did you do before that boot loop happened? Are you running stock ROM and stock recovery? or all custom? If you pull out battery and put it back in, does the phone start on its own without you pressing the power button?
I tried any solution possible in Internet and form from the world wide.
My motherboard are dead so, I have only one solution it's to buy a other.
Thank you to be here and answing
