About to bash my head!!! Please help....

Hello everyone. Tonight, nothing works on my AT&T Captivate (used on Fido here).
First, I am trying to flash Darky Official Port 7. I have copied the ZIP on my SD card and successfully boot into Recovery (CWM), but when I choose to browse for the ROM zip, I don't see it, even if I know it is there! What is happening there? I have tried everything and I can't. Find. That. *&%?% ZIP file. In the past, I have rooted and flashed many ROMs (long time lurker...), but this time.....
In desperation, I have tried to use ODIN to revert to stock; and I can't get into download mode. No matter what I do, I always finish into Recovery instead of Download Mode.
Any ideas anyone? I just want to revert to stock and then to Darky.
PS: Oh by the way, I am on a 2.2 moded AT&T ROM, but I don't know which one, since in "About Phone", the info is erroneous (kept the info from a Cognition ROM I was trying, the 1.7 Unhelpful Kernel one).

Darky 7 is dead, go for 8.0.1. You're positive that you have a. CWM recovery and b. the zip on the internal sd card? To get in to download, you press both volume buttons (but not power) and plug in the usb cable (but don't press power)

Have you tried the Micro USB JIG. This has saved me many times now. Let me know if you need one. I can send you one free of charge.

Dude, what is the Micro USB JIG?
Edit: I Googled it and I saw lots and lots of different pics, I am not sure which is the one you mean. I guess that allows to go directly to recovery or something similar?

Yep .... Could it be something to do with my kernel? I read something about "2" kernels and "3" kernels? It's easy to get confused with the many many threads here, often it is hard trying to see if the solution explained is the one pertaining to your own problem or not...

If you are able to reboot into recovery you should be able to find a way to get into download mode using odin 1.3 (not the one-click one) and adb tools...

basically tearing up a good micro usb cable to use it to put 2 wires in it to insert into your phone to activate download mode

Flashing problems.....is this the right place to ask?

So I put Andromeda on my phone a few weeks ago. It went fine, no problems, liked it. So I went to put it on my wife's phone. I was able to get it rooted. Into download mode, and Odin on it. But I couldn't get it into recovery. Vol up/dn/pwr just booted the phone normally. Vol up/dn does work to change the volume settings normally so it's not a bad button. So I thought, I had mine on stock 2.2 when I did everything. So I hooked hers up to Kies and put 2.2 on it. Rooted it. Now I cant' get the phone into download or recovery mode. Vol up/dn, plug in usb not working, it just goes into battery charge mode. We got our phones the same time so they're both same hardware rev. Any ideas?
TIA,
Scott

This should probably go in the q&a section. But did you try the three button fix. Search the forums for it.

I donot know whats causing the problem (dont have the knowledge) but i can suggest buying a usb jig (costs only 8$ including shipping) which is pretty cheap and useful considering if you change roms frequently.
U just plug in the usb and the phone goes into download mode and you good to go.
If u wana buy just google mobile tech videos and buy it from their website (the guy john selling it is a rom reviwer on xda so its a safe site to buy) or on ebay. hope this helps

so its back to stock 2.2 ?
try using rom manager to boot into recovery.
note with 2.2 stock it has 3e recovery. to install cwm you must root and replace with 3e hacked recovery
use rom manager to boot into recovery. from cwm you can tell the phone to reboot into download.
or if you still have a custom rom, you use the advanced power menu (power button menu) to select download or recovery. no button tricks needed.

3e recovery can be a bit of a pain, it is easier to Odin one click to 2.1 with the 3 button fix and go on with that.
The other solution would be to go with Team Komin's Ursa Minor kernel. There's a video posted on the forum (and youtube) by AdamOutler (I think that's his name) on how to do it - very clear and easy to follow.
@ Trusselo, I don't mean to go against your suggestion. I went through the 3e recovery myself and it can be a pain for a newbie so I'm giving him/them a second opinion/suggestion

the 3e instructions are written like crap. i asked the OP to change it but no.,...
its actually super easy if you have root explorer. (google *cough cough*)
use root explorer to mount RW then drop the file over the old one.
done
@ bwolf_56 Oh and no offece to you but he cant get into download mode to flash the Ursa kernel from odin... so...

Yup, they're. I had to go through the replies to find the actual good way to do it and even then it wasn't so clear.
Once you know how root explorer works, then go ahead and use the 3e recovery but I wouldn't suggest that to some1 new to all of this I mean, you don't wanna replace the wrong file either (or even worst, delete system files).
Either way, It's up to you OP - both solution works great. I hope we helped
EDIT: lolol - I guess w/o dl mode, my way doesn't work so well You can try one of the 3 ways to get in dl mode, the one that works best for me is:
1. Turn off phone, remove battery, sim card
2. hold down both volume button
3. plug the usb in (while holding both volume still)
4. A nice triangle with a Android holding a shovel should show up
If that doesn't work. My apologize and go ahead with the 3e recovery that Trusselo suggested. You can pm me for clear instruction (and probably Trusselo as well)

Thanks all for suggestions....
so its back to stock 2.2 ?
Yes. And I believe I got it rooted with Superoneclick because it has superuser on it.
it is easier to Odin one click to 2.1 with the 3 button fix and go on with that
Exactly what I'm trying to do. But can't get into download mode or 3-button recovery mode. Neither are working. I didn't try the abd server method. Looked a bit scary, but may try it this eve.
use root explorer to mount RW then drop the file over the old one
Forgive me. Root explorer from market, right? 'mount RW' ? Drop what file over what old file?
use rom manager to boot into recovery. from cwm you can tell the phone to reboot into download.
So mount the SD and copy cwm to it and rename to update.zip. Get Rom manager from market and that will get me to cwm to get to download mode to use Odin to go back to 2.1. Then root again and install rom manager again to get into recovery to load the Andromeda? Is that close?

odin one click isnt 3 button fix
3 button fix is a flash you use with the NON one click odin
root explorer is from the market... (can also be *found* on google [for testing purposes])
3e recovery fix is a file you must replace. xda search it!
rom manager will download and copy the update.zip for you! so you dont need to do it frist. its the first button in the app! Rom manager also has a button. "boot into recovery" use it to boot into recovery...
so flash to 2.1 with 3button fix (regular odin) 2.1 no 3e recovery forget that.
root
install rom manager to get cwm
cwm flash your new rom
delete rom manager.
sounds like you need to do more searching and reading...

Little question here, why would you delete ROM manager after?
@ OP - Please read some more before trying what has been suggested here. Trusselo gave you a good rundown which isn't too hard to do (there are also vid on it). A little reading could save your android, that coming from a guy that is usually hasty to act (notice how I bricked my 1st cappy )

most custom roms have CWM built into the kernel. rom manager and the update.zip with cwm are no longer needed with one of the cwm kernels.
and custom roms usually have the advanced power menu. boot to recovery/download easy peisy
rom manager only confuses people if you have both. took me a couple weeks to learn that..
bricked my first one too, kinda, (coulda fixed it) but couldn't wait and had it only days, easy exchange with in-store dummies.. lol

So I looked at Rom Manager on my phone.
Since the wife's on stock 2.2 and rooted. Seems that I can just d/l Rom Manager on her's. Copy the new rom to the SD. And use Rom Manager to flash it.
Can it be that simple?
And yes, I've been doing alot of reading. But, some of you guys talk a different language.....
Thanks again.

No, it's not that simple, on 2.2 with the 3e recovery you will get a signing error when trying to flash and it won't work. Follow the suggestions and just use odin with the 3 button fix to get to 2.1

To get into download did you try removing battery from captivate, start Odin, plug USB cable to PC and captivate, hold both volume keys, and reinstall battery? On Stock that's the only way I can get into download. There is a thread on here with more detail but that's how I do it.

Yep, tried that one.
Spent a couple hours on this last night. I isntalled Rom Manager. That will get the phone into recovery. But, since it's 3e, doesn't do me any good. Signature errors. No matter what I do, can't get the phone into download mode. Last night I even tried with adb. The phone just reboots normally with the adb reboot download command.
I know your gonna say there is the 3e fix, keep reading. I found it. But, really didn't understand it. And I don't want to brick the phone. I think the wife is going to be staying on stock 2.2 at this point. I don't know what else to do.
Thanks to all.
Scott

Try and make or buy a jig?

Buiding a JIG is quite simple and cheap, you should try it.
Also, you can pm me for 3e recovery. I'll give you a nice rundown - It's quite easy, just not well explained on the thread

Bricked Captivate?!?!?

Hi, I was using ODIN3 JF6 for porting my 2.2 to 2.1 eclair rom.. once the flashing done with no problem it gives me Reset phone.. then the phone reset it only shows me At&T logo continuosly again and again.. I tried to get on download mode in all ways but nothing.. adb doesn't recognize the phone and no com port on odin .... is it defintely bricked?????

If you can see a screen, it's not bricked. For download mode, did you try (from a powered-off state) holding Vol+ and Vol-, then inserting the USB plug? You may also have to take the battery out, hold v+/v-, insert plug, then insert battery.
If those don't work, look into getting yourself a jig.

yes i get the AT&T logo infinite looping but no way to get download mode.. yes I even tried the vol+vol- ...

If those combinations aren't working for you, you will most likely need to either buy or make yourself a jig. It's not very expensive - either buy 3 resistors at an electronics store, or see if you can find one on Ebay. That's the easiest, most surefire way to get into download mode.
One last thing to try, though, just in case - try holding Vol- and Power from a powered-off state. That's the Gingerbread combination for i9000 bootloaders, but it won't hurt to try them.

Once you get into download mode, don't flash jf6 newer phones don't like that firmware and they do exactly what your's is doing. Bootloop and broken button combos.
Flash any other firmware other than jf6 and you'll be good.

That should work, as you're installing a Gingerbread Rom, you'll need the matching bootloaders.
Just make sure you have a good connection to your computer, and that your computer won't lose power in the process.

Hi, thank you all ,, all worked 100% .. one more thing.. why the bootloader is not the i9000 bootloader ? if I want to install the cm7 can I just install from market the rom manager?? .. and about the root+busybox .. does the super-one click works with 2.3.3 ?

Glad to hear it worked.
- UCKF1 uses the AT&T Gingerbread bootloaders, not the i9000. You have the option to flash the i9000 ones separately, but I wouldn't recommend it, as there really isn't a pressing reason to put yourself in that danger.
- If you want to try CM7 again, I would recommend installing it separately from Rom manager - rom manager tends to be problematic.
- I don't think super one-click works with 2.3.x roms. You'll need to flash a kernel with CWM baked in (like boog's kernel) using Odin or Heimdall, then flash CM7.

thank you lot for helping me .. if I install directly this one:
With Bootloaders - Link 1 / Link 2 [With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog]
Boog includes recovrey.. so once install this I can get even recovery ready for cm7???

On the page of one-clicks, in this section:

With Bootloaders - Link 1 / Link 2 [With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog]

Stock Kernel - Link 1 / Link 2
Kernel with CWM - Link to thread - by Boog
Use one of the two that I have left highlighted. If you want to use Odin, use the first one. If you prefer Heimdall, use the second one. Either one will get you to a stock state, with CWM, so that you can flash CM7. And, both will do this without flashing bootloaders. Definitely, no matter what, do not choose a package with bootloaders. You want a package that says "no bootloaders".

however i did not understand any of this
i m not new in installing roms and such but i m not very femilier with all these "more complicated" things

also i tried rom manager but it just opens recovery mode for me
any way i can return to an old verision of recovery w/o using the reovery mode so i can go back and install the touch verision this time?

- Remove and replug device
- Reboot device
- Use another USB port or cable
- Turn kies of (ctrl+alt+del > Taskmanager > Procesess > Terminate anything with KIES in its name)
- Turn AW/FW off

Just flash TWRP and you're good to go

dude im fricking out..
i accidently soft bricked it and now im trying 2 flash it back 2 stock with odin through your guide
but odin recognises my pc recognises the ops file as a text file so odin doesnt even see it...
u gotta help me ;_;

hey man relax... in wiki page you'll find cwm5.5.0.4 flashable zip and you can install it from recovery ( even from stock recovery if i remember corectly)... if you can't acces your phone you can copy it from pc to phone using recovery ( mounts and storage )... if you are stuck in recovery( you're phone boot in recovery only ) you'll need to flash the bootloader using odin.. also you can find the steps and necessary files in wiki and in cm10 by ivendor in firrst post ..Good Luck !!!

1: How did you softbrick it? What did you do, because I thought Odin got stuck??
2: You do see an Phone an ! and a PC?
3: You do have the latest ROM by Samsung and the correct AriesVE.ops?
If yes then we can get started. Follow my guide, when odin gets stuck at System (for a long long time > You know this because the green balk with time gets stuck) unplug device, reboot download again, reboot computer, and try again with BroodROM RC5 (see index)... (BroodROM RC5 is a last resort for our device since it has fixed many softbricked one including mine)

aaaand that's what happens when you start flashing random stuff to your phone without knowing what you actually do...
Ok, I wont tease you or anything, here is what to do:
READ THIS
THIS (all stuff from there, doesn't matter if you don't consider it necessary, you surely will in the future)
After you read all those and understand everything, flash back to stock using @mrjraider tutorial, it's a clear step by step one so follow every step.
Now, the thing is that you'll need CWM Recovery, not FeaMod which is only able to flash GB ROM's.
The most stable CWM recovery is CWM 5.5.0.4 you can find it at the bottom of the OT from this thread
HERE is how to flash CWM with Odin.
Please, pay attention and don't rush things up. And next time you have a problem post in an appropriate thread don't open a new one and especially not in the dev section, see this
Also, no user "gotta help you" you've chose to flash tings to your phone, if you mess it up, it's your own failure and nobody 'MUST' help you... (see this)

i did try using his guide and i folowed it step by step
my only problem is that odin gives me that message i showed in my last post..
also untill i fix this soft brick i cant move on to recovery mode so
i need 2 fix that first..
the guide doesnt show anything related to what im doing wrong..

Someone with brains would have removed odin, and the ops file and redownloaded it again. Also save those on your desktop

You have soft bricked your phone as CF3D drivers didn work as it was supposed to. First turn off your device by long pressing power key, this works many times even if you are in a boot loop(which is what you are experiencing now). Now like always try to enter recovery mode manually by the combination specified for your device (mine is power+home key+vol. up for recovery and power+home+vol. down for download). If you can enter recovery mode, wipe data and cache and if needed dalvik cache as well but it will take more time for your phone to start the first time after dalvik cache is wiped. This will probably fix your problem. And if it doesn then your next choice is flashing stock rom via odin. Pull your battery, insert it back after 10 seconds. Enter download mode manually and you know how to flash stock rom via odin i suppose. You can find many guides out there as well.. Hopes this helps...

i can't open recovery mod. and i can't find stock rom for mini 2. When i prees long power buton my phone doesn't turn off. Still restarting. Please help me guys

Dont worry. Pull battery for 10sec and see if you can enter download mode. check this for your stock rom. This will do for now. You can later search for your region or flash a custom rom.

You flashed stock firmware using odin..? And, well.. you got two ops to access your phone other than using a Rom and that is recovery and download modes.

Sure.. I can help you. Check this.. It got what you need and it should work this time. Ignore the stuff mentioned at first of the article coz they are talking bout a perfectly working device and we are facing a worst case scenerio. Download the required files. Uninstall kies if you have it installed coz it will probably clash with Odin trying to access your device and report error. So have just the usb drivers installed and remove kies first. Next do as they say. It should be fine. Let me know if it worked.

This might get you back your recovery. Flash this cwm.tar.md5 using odin. select the PDA option and select the .tar.md5 file you got now. Check if it restores your recovery and let me know.

If you can enter download mode then dont give up. Try for odin flashable Roms and if you take your phone to service centre, dont tell them what really happened coz it will void your warranty. Tell them it happened while flashing the official stock rom update. It might save you from paying em and also losing your warranty..

You can but should have odin flashable files. Well if you find any then you can try it. But trying the ones you got already might work as you got the logo now.
