So I flashed the initial kernel file using ODIN3 to my captivate running Continuum __ and I'm getting stuck at the Galaxy S CyanogenMod screen. I was wondering if there is any way to fix this other than purchasing the resistors and making a jig...
Did you try flashing back to stock?

Continuum is a Froyo ROM, right? Were you trying to pair a gingerbread kernel with a Froyo ROM?
Can you get into DL mode to odin back?

First off, what you described isnt even close to a brick.
You need to tell us a couple things. Can you get into download mode? have you tried to flash back to stock?
well the problem is that i cant get into download mode or boot into recovery
Anyway to "adb reboot download"?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
nope cause i cant get the usb debugging to work since it wont boot at all
Been there once...what I did was...removed the battery ..and out my phone in Download mode...flashed back to Stock 2.1 and did everything again
You said you cant put it in DL mode? were your 3 button combo working when U flashed initial kernel?
Its definitely not bricked, try putting it into DL mode and flash to stock..
1. remove the usb cable, battery, sdcard, SIM.
2. wait 10 seconds, then insert the USB cable.
3. press and hold the 3 button combo while you insert the battery
4. continue to hold until phone's screen goes black twice and release power button.
5. timing is critical, it may not work the first time. Keep going until you see the COM port is connected properly.
well when i was flashing initial kernel i just did adb download and the flashed it and when i follow your steps it just puts me back to boot screen and i stay there

so did you read the instructions where it says to not use commands like "adb reboot download" or "adb reboot recovery"? and to make sure you had a working three button recovery before you attempted installation of the ROM?
oohh...i didnt check that, so is that what screwed it up? and if so how can i fix it?

U might be better off posting in that thread, or updating ur thread title to reflect CM7 to get answers faster.
Have you read the CM7 thread in Dev? This ROM is not yet fully functional, so unless you know what you're doing I would stick to more tested ROMs.

Is this on your screen or in Odin. Part of the instruction was to not enable autoboot, so of course after the kernel flash the phone... well it does not boot. If Odin completed its steps and the blue status bar on your phone screen is complete then unplug pull battery three button recovery follow other steps
If it is in Odin I would ask if you had ext 4 enabled as instructions stated before kernel flash
As to why one would install cm7, you only have to run it for a couple minutes to realize it is out of this world. Believe the hype

Hi Experts,
I have a Cappy and i love Continuum 5 ROM. I never miss any versions from beta2 to RC 3, everything is ok, but now when contimuum v5.1 was released. I tried to flash it but i got a big problem in that version. The first, i encountered Boot Loop issue while booting, but it's not the biggest problem, my cappy is still boot up to the home screen, and here everything was became very bad. My Cappy got lag and cant interact with return and it reboot automatic after that.
Now, when v5.1 was released, i believed it'll be fixed, but it's still exists. .
my cappy cant boot up to home screen. it repeats booting to continuum animation and restart forever.
can anybody give me a suggestion for turning my cappy back !!!!!!!! Please help
Did you have full battery? I made this mistake too... Be sure that you did everything correctly..

I would suspect you could simply use the 1-CLICK ODIN program to restore the phone then follow the steps carefully for 5.1 (which is a pretty awesome ROM btw)
I'm sure i charged full battery before flashing.

Your best bet is the jig. If that doesnt work then I would try and get a warrenty replacment. I went over the thread and it stated that if you get a bootloop you should boot into recovery and reflash the rom, did you do that?

right. i got a bootloop when flash to v5.2. i tried to flash the rom in recovery mode many times, but it's still exists. even i flash back to RC3. i got only the android text animation on the screen.
thus i have to flash to the stock by that way. and now i got a brick
I've had problems in the past with getting to download mode on the cappy. I did some googling trying to find a way, ended up finding a very good page on it:
http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode
I hope that helps.
Had the same problem with my cappy. The problem is that after all you did, you have one bootloader from i9000 and another from i897. The jig won`t help. I`ve found the people that recovered the phone with JTAG.
So I recently made a thread how adb wasn't working and that evolved into not being able to get into download mode. Now after not being able to get into download mode for days, I'm still stuck on cm7 with no way of getting back to stock. 3-button recovery won't work, the only way to get into recovery is adb reboot recovery. No button and cable methods work to get phone into download mode as well as adb reboot download. I even recently tried http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lojU5bvGz3c which is a makeshift usb jig. I successfully made it but it would only turn the phone on. WTF. I'm afraid to buy a real usb jig from online because it most likely will cause the same thing. What is there to do? I'm completely lost. The phone works, the rom is okay I just cannot get back to stock and get rid of cm7. There are lots of issues I need to fix and cannot because of this. Any ideas?????
EDIT: Now I'm completely f'ed. I tried flashing cm7 instead of MIUI again to try once more if I would have better luck on just cm7, but during flash in cwm the phone turned off because the battery compartment was loose and now the phone boots up and goes into recovery shows some code then turns off again
(This post just in case anyone missed the reason in the edit)
Reason: EDIT: FIXED! Don't know what happened. Rearranged resistors and tried again and finally got it

What's your process to get CM7/Miui installed?
On a side note, ADB won't connect to your device unless you have the Nexus S drivers installed on you computer when CM7/Miui is installed
When I was last on cm7 adb reboot download doesn't work.
Drivers installed
Just sayin
Sent from my unbrickable cappy *bam*
yeah, i distinctly remember the first CM7 build threads that came up here saying that adb reboot download DOES NOT work, and you DO need working 3 buttons or a jig
not sure why that was removed from the threads
A jig should work
You might be coming into contact with the resistors (I can't watch that youtube video from work--firewalled--so I don't know what the setup looks like). Any contact with the them will make it not work. Try insulating them more with some heavy packing tape.
I cut up my mini-usb plug from my car charger (didn't need it), and peeled off all the plastic so I could easily touch the correct two pins with the jig when the hacked up mini-usb is plugged in. Works like a charm. Sometimes if you aren't touching them just right, or if one end of the pin is touching the wrong point the power will come on.
Try harder with the jig, I guarantee you it will work (and you shouldn't have to buy one--it's too easy to do yourself for less than $2 and about 5 minutes).
Good luck!
Just a thought. Are you installing GB boot loaders before flashing CM7/Miui? If so, the way to get into Recovery/Download mode changes. Recovery is vol+/power, Download is Vol-/power.
Just thought I'd toss that out there...just in case

I've lost the 3combo after installing the GB bootloaders with CM7 but the Odin Connection was lost on the SBL, The phone is not even Powering on anymore
If your phone has no signs of life at all, then sadly you are hard bricked...
But it can be fixed through jtag or the unbrickable mod.
So is there hope?

I don't think you need jtag (but you can look into it). If your phone is able to at least power on, you should be able to use a Jig to get it into download mode. That is what I did with mine when all the options fail.
good luck.

If the phone doesn't show any signs of life (wich it wont if he failed on sbl) Jtag or Unbrickable Mod would be your 2 best bet. (Id use Unbrickable mode since it will protect you from future issues.)
Sorry haven't checked this thread in a while. My process for going to cm7/miui is flashing stock eclair through odin one click, then rooting and installing cwm. From there I just flash the latest nightly or whatever it is. Nothing I'm doing seems to be wrong
The problem is that I should be able to get into download mode without having to use a jig every single time. 3 button combo should work, but it doesn't when using cm7/miui for some reason
After looking for quite a few hours on google and xda the only solution thats shows up is to use a jtag and quite frankly that scares the pants off me
here is what happened
-i upgraded the device to froyo then did the super one click root in order to root
-after that i installed the modified recovery to turn off the signature check
-after doing that i flashed clockwork mod renamed update.zip through recovery
-after that i flashed the ICS beta but i could not get the main zip to work through recovery the only other zip i had on my sd card was the kernel so i flashed that and it worked, in clockworkmod 5.0 it wiped everything on the phone so i reloaded the 2 zips i flashed the rom there and it rebooted. (this is out of order from the thread so i know this is what causes the next problem.
now when ICS boots up i get an encryption unsuccessful screen saying i need a factory reset, only option given is reboot now. can't bypass the screen, can't access via adb (driver install fails on windows too), cant get into download mode, and can't get into recovery.
how screwed am i
device is
Samsung captivate
-build number 1009
You need Gingerbread bootloaders.
And since you cant get into download mode... You probably need a USB Jig.
Good news is that you see something at startup. I doubt you are totally screwed then.
Second the jig as an option. It has quite the track record on this forum as making the captivate almost un-brickable.
What have you tried as far as getting your phone into download mode? There are sometimes multiple ways (Vol-up + Vol-down while plugging in USB without battery, sim, or microsd installed is how I always seem to get it working). Here is a list:
http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode
To my knowledge, none of that information is dated... but there are those here that know far more about it than I ever will.
none of those methods worked, it just stinks if it would have been any other rom i would have been fine i think but since i can't do anything in user space and everything i do takes me to the ICS android screen i cant do anything.
also for the record i am a noob to samsung devices but i have been doing this stuff to HTC devices for years

The team hacksung project might be compatible, but the straight port says in the op that you need to flash kf1 first, which included bootloaders.
You aren't hard bricked and your device is recoverable.
If you are still on the froyo bootloaders, try unplugging the usb cable, removing the battery, sim and sd cards, hold vol up+vol down (don't hold power), and plug the usb cable back in. It should take you to download mode.
If your phone responds to adb while it's booting, you can just issue a quick 'adb reboot download' or 'adb reboot recovery' to get it to boot into either without the button combos.
If either of those don't work, you can try forcing it with a usb jig (just a 301k resistance over pins 4 and 5 of the microusb port). Build a jig, take the battery out, plug the jig in, make sure not to touch the jig while it's in or you'll change the resistance and won't work, put the battery back in and it should kick your phone into download mode. Once you're there, simply remove the jig and plug the usb cable back in.
Sometimes the download mode graphic won't show up even if you are actually in download mode. If the phone looks like it hung, try connecting it to Odin anyway and see if it recognizes it.
Edit: forgot to mention, try using adb from linux (virtual machine or livecd will work too). You shouldn't have to mess with drivers and it's worth a shot.

Were you able to get this working again? If so, how? My Captivate with Build 11 of ICS that had been running perfectly for a week got the message you saw regarding encryption.
I couldn't reset, I tried one click back to stock, and now I just get messages saying can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1.

Are you able to go to CWM using the three button combo? Try pulling out the battery, reinsert, Hold vol-up + vol-down
and hit power button. Let me know whether CWM menu is appearing or not
All I have to say is wow, not one of those things are true
UCKF1 was the first GB leak for the Captivate, not official Froyo wtf :S
you also don't just connect and power on?!

Hey,
Could you tell us more about how it was resolved?
I'm having the same issue here.
I need Help people, Understand my problem First,
1. I bought a new Samsung AT&T Captivate.
2. Upgraded to 2.3 Kies.
3. Used CornKernel_UCKK4_v705 to root my phone and flash CWM.
4. backed up my OS 2.3 using CWM,
5. Success fully installed STABLE CM 10.0.
6. Everything was great. Tried installing CM 10.1 and Gapps crashed everytime.
7. THEN i made the big Mistake, RESTORED 2.3 stock OS using CWM and it stuck at some point and battery drained.
8. Now my phone hangs at AT&T logo. and if try to enter download mode battery logo flashes.
9. I tried ODIN one click to unbrick to recover the stock OS and now i cant even get into DOWNLOAD mode.

I need Help people, Understand my problem First,
1. I bought a new Samsung AT&T Captivate.
2. Upgraded to 2.3 Kies.
3. Used CornKernel_UCKK4_v705 to root my phone and flash CWM.
4. backed up my OS 2.3 using CWM,
5. Success fully installed STABLE CM 10.0.
6. Everything was great. Tried installing CM 10.1 and Gapps crashed everytime.
7. THEN i made the big Mistake, RESTORED 2.3 stock OS using CWM and it stuck at some point and battery drained.
8. Now my phone hangs at AT&T logo. and if try to enter download mode battery logo flashes.
9. I tried ODIN one click to unbrick to recover the stock OS and now i cant even get into DOWNLOAD mode.
Please Help friends i know u must have faced such situation, i NEED HELP. :crying:

Try holding volume up + volume down and then plug in the USB cord that is plugged into your PC. This should take you to download mode. If this doesn't help you will have to purchase a jig

download this
http://www.mediafire.com/?sbjd049x4m36pb6
after downloading it run it as administrator
then connect the jig to the phone and then it will boot in download mode
then you caqn remove the jig and connect the usb cable to the pc
and you will see a yellow prompt like the one in odin..
and then click on start..
the stock rom flashing will start...
Dude why the hell "junior" written under ur name, U RECOVERED MY PHONE.

I have recovered from a soft brick using a jig, I know these shortcuts very well but none is working even to come into a download mode i always need a Jig it was all good when i installed cm 10.0 the second day i bought this phone but now after the attempt to restore into stock ROM was a mess, then thanks to u my phone got a life again, but now even the CornKernel_UCKK4_v705 isn,t working on my phone,
Any IDEAS???

The KK4 Corn Kernel will only boot up and run if u r on KK4 firmware or a Rom of that base...or previous stock firmware/roms.

1.KK4_Root_v1_1: Bricks my phone. Have to use Jig to come to download mode,
2.I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0: This is stock rom using odin, which also bricks my phone,
3.KI2_noBL_BoogsKernel: this wakes up my phone to GB stock Rom but no sign of booting into recovery, and my phone lost its root after installing it,
4.CornKernel_UCKK4_v705: successfully flashed using ODIN but still can not boot into recover.
Looks like I have to stick to Gingerbread for eternity and for more clarification,
Currently my has Firmware 2.3.5
