i just upgrade my 2.1 into Cognition using rom manger
after installing i got a black screen with a blue text writing "NOW REBOOT"
nothing happened so i pushed the power button,since then nothing happened.
the phone dont response to nothing the screen is black like the phone is off.
i tried to go into download mode in order to use "one click odin" but nothing happens,the odin dont recognize the device and i get now picture while i am trying to get into the mode.
when i just got the phone i couldnt get into the recovery mode with the combination keys.seems like my phone dont response to any key combination.
and the biggest problem that i live in Israel and i dont have the option to replace it or something like that.
please,if can some1 root me what to do.
thanks .!
so i checked around here and i saw that device that cannot enter downloadmode using combination keys should use homemade 301k usb cable..
i checked the guide how to make 1 but it seems like very complicated action
can i buy it somewhere?
does any 1 want to make me 1 and i will pay him via paypal?
i upgraded as well and got the black screen and blue text it took so time but reboot. Did you try to get in download mode using sdk/adb ?
so i didnt wait enough and restart by pressing the power button.now i stock with a dead phone.
i cant use adb shell beacuse my computer dont recognize the phone nothing happens when i plug the usb.
yeah dude it looks that way maybe you should look around on how to unbrick i really dont know im kinda new to this all i do is read have much as i can on here and try not to mess mty phone up so far ive been doing a good job
got the same issue .. and the problem is that it's not mine .. it's my friend's phone :'(

I wish I was qualified to help you. There are several seperate ways to induce your phone into download mode with Odin and.revert back to stock. If I am reading the post here correct your phones do not even power on.
People have recovered from this state using Odin. I have never had to so I am not able to spell out the steps.

2 other small things to try
1 make sure USB is in rear port
2 I believe some have had success by right clicking Odin then selecting run as administrator. Then follow steps
Captivate
Cog 2.4
My phone is also stuck in this state (i.e. the phone won't turn on or respond to button presses or inserting usb cords). I'm not sure if Odin can fix that.
To all with this issue. Try Odin. Make sure you right click Odin and make administrator. Follow steps for Odin. It has worked for others. Make sure you are using the rear USB port. I may have this sequence off so search and make sure.it is right. Open Odin pull battery and sim put battery back in. Hold volume up and down. Plug in USB.

I had the same issue. Use odin. Hold both volume keys down and plug in the usb to your phone. You may have to hold it longer than normal. Sometimes the download screen does come on but odin will recognize it. Restore it and you should be okay.

I tried that already. The computer don't even recognize if there's any device plugged into it. I guess it has to be sent to Samsung
Mine was dead like yours with the black screen. My computer wouldnt recognize it. They have a post in general or Q&A where someone had the same issue as yours. I think is titled "Help". I was thinking the same thing that I would have to sent it in but it worked.
Black Screen / RST_STATUS 0x0
Procedure:
1. Remove the battery, external SD card and SIM card.
2. Wait 10 seconds.
3. Open odin3
4. Connect usb cable.
5. Hold volume up + volume down + Power.
6. Insert battery.
7. Release POWER BUTTON ONLY.

Hola fellow XDA-ers...
I have searched and can't find a solution...and seems that I might be perma bricked but some forums indicate I am now. So help!
My phone will not enter into a download mode. All I get is an exclamation mark triangle connecting a phone and a computer icon.
I have tried both volume down and both volume buttons for power and to enter into DL mode, but it just goes back to the icon screen with the exclamation point.
Any help is greatly appreciated...I was trying to flash back to stock using ODIN to update my Cognition because I got stuck not being able to update it through CMO.
You need a jig... http://goo.gl/0p52o
First: wrong forum, you should be posting in Q&A
Second: remove battery, hold volumeup+volumedown+power and insert battery. Remove your finger from the power button after you see it restart the first time. If it does not enter download mode after it starts and restarts, press the power button again. Keep your volumeup+volumedown buttons pressed during this procedure
Noone ever needs a jig. Jigs are a money making tool.
I've flashed bad kernel after bad kernel and have never once required a jig.

this happened to me too, I can't remember what i did to get into that weird state.. but your definitely not totally bricked. Have you tried using a usb from power off standpoint- Pull battery, replace.. make suer usb is plugged into computer and while holding BOTH vol up and vol down, connect usb to phone STILL holding vol buttons utill Download mode appears.
Only other suggestion i can make is to pick up one of connexion2005's jigs. 8 bucks- forces your phone into DL mode from bricked/off standpoint. I use it all the time and I have never bricked!

Does not happen often but some times you do need it so dont misinform people mate
I back you up Coreym, 110% I bricked my phone more times than I can count (or my wife cares to hear about), and I've always been able to fix it.
I just run odin one click, pull battery, to kill boot loop, put battery back in, hold down volume buttons, and plug in usb, to get into download mode.
Once odin reads phone, click start, and it flashes default at&t kernel. Then go through odin3 reload your cwm and boom, back to flashing.
No JIG used.

Hey man,
You mean update through CWM?
Anyway, not sure if you found a resolution to your issue as of yet.
If not, try this, it really couldn't hurt at this point...
Apparently you have Odin and I'm guessing you're on a PC (Windows)
I'll assume you already have a stock factory ROM and PIT file (For Your Device) - if not you need to acquire these first.
Ensure you have the correct version of Odin. Some are recommending v1.7 or v1.52 - I personally use Odin v1.82
"Pluck" or Pull the battery from the device, remove the SIM and any external storage card (if any). *I just felt like using the work "Pluck" out of the context of harp playing...
Ensure the latest Samsung Drivers are installed on the PC (assuming you're on a Windows X86 or X64) and bounce the PC (reboot) Driver cache sometimes sticks...
Plug in your USB cable to the back panel of the PC (USB v2.0 or 2.2 is preferred but USB v1.0 will work) - Plugging into a front panel (for some odd reason often finds a way to disrupt order amongst the driver pool and creates havoc within Mass Storage in the DM. (Device Manager)
Now turn your device on.. (Just kidding...)
Open Odin first - then - plug the cable into your device and withing a few seconds Odin should detect a com port: (any port is fine - 3, 5, 4, 2, etc...)
Once the com port is seen, select the correct PIT file from the PIT menu in Odin and automatically the format partition check-box will populate. (I say to re PIT the device with correct PIT (should be a 512 PIT) because it sounds as though there may be some damage to the boot loader and the respective system partition. The PIT file is supposed the restore these partitions back to factory defaults provided you select the correct PIT file.
*Note - I wouldn't recommend using the PIT file for "every" ROM flash they you do, but at times it is necessary when flashing certain ROMs.
Now select the PDA (ROM you wish to flash) from the browse menu in Odin.
Make sure the check box is selected for reboot after flash.
Let the process take place - complete the flash and wait patiently for the new image or ROM to calibrate and load. (It may take a while)
Once loaded unplug the USB cable, replace the SIM and Ext Memory card then the battery and fix whatever settings you need to (ie: ATN, efs, WiFi, WAP, etc...)
Give it a go and see what becomes of it...
HtH
Peace-

He has (I think I remember telling him to do the same thing a while ago). He's most likely using a Cappy that's 1010 or greater.
This is why some people need the "3 button-fix" and whatnots as well. Right now at his/their current state, only a USB Jig will work since none of the combinations work properly.

That's my problem. I can't use the three button solution to get into DL mode. I have a 1006 model.
I'm actually using Ubuntu and Windows. adb nor Odin see the device at all...it just won't drop into DL mode.
Guess I'm going to Fry's and buying a micro USB connector with all wires and making a jig.

please do not misinform people that jig is a money making tool. try this: flash a three-button disabled rom first and then unplug your usb cable while flashing ... i believe you will need a jig for sure.

I had Cognition 4 flashed but had a problem that whenever the battery was removed when the phone was on, about half of my apps, wifi, and texting would force close on reboot and never be able to open until I reflashed Cogntion. Because of this, I decided to try Serendipity VII. I put the zip file on my phone, rebooted into recovery, then tried to do the same thing that I did for Cognition. When I did this it said that it was installing, then said install complete without rebooting. I decided to reboot the phone, and when I tried, it keeps looping on the att screen. I do not see the battery charge signal when I plug it in. I see a loading gear for the battery for about five seconds, then the screen has electric looking blue lines flash through the center and then nothing. I cannot boot into recovery or download, it just keeps looping on the ATT screen.

How do I force it into download mode?
So you tried flashing a GB rom without first flashing GB bootloaders?
You should have read and followed the installation instructions on the Serendipity download page. Start Odin one click,see if you can get phone into download mode by any combo and see if Odin sees it. Flash stock and start again.

Thanks for all the help, I will be buying a jig from amazon for about ten bucks. I hope this works. But if it doesn't, at least this will teach me to read instructions before doing something that I don't understand very well.
to get into download mode press volume down instead of volume up to get u into recovery, at first i screwed up too somewhat like you so what i did is removed the battery for a minute, put it back in press volume down middle and power button to get into download then use odin to flash a new 2.3.4 gingerbread that u can get from this forum just look through and ull find it, make sure u put the pit file phone file, pda and csc files and make sure u check the repartition auto reboot and freset time checked on then press start hope it helped

Sir try this one last thing, remove your USB Cable from your PC, remove your battery...
While holding down both (Up and Down) volume buttons, insert the battery and THEN connect your phone to your PC through USB, see if this puts it into Download mode.
If not, try doing the same just holding down the DOWN volume button. Hope this helps, it seems as if these combinations kind of vary from phone to phone. Cheers

I tried this and all it did was do the att loop screen thing. Also, my computer dinged that it saw a usb device being plugged in, but then the restart loop restarts the phone and continues this indefinitely. Thanks for the help anyway.
You don't need to buy a jig, just go do that thing where you get three (or four) resistors in series that totals 301k ohms and touch them to specific contacts in the usb port of your phone... look it up on xda, it's worked for most people.

Hmm I remember that often when I tried to put my phone into recovery mode or download, whenever I held the Power Button down, it would just keep looping. When you but the battery on and connect your phone, make sure you are not holding the Power button, just the volume ones. Perhaps it is your case?

It loops if whether or not I hold any buttons down. If I hold the power button down while trying to get into download mode, then it just turns it off.
Turn off the phone, remove the battery, get a stock odin one click for the captivate.
I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 seems to be a reliable flash when I run into trouble.
Start odin, plug the phone into the USB cable, hold the volume up/down key or try any combination up/down or both. Insert the battery and hopefully it will go into download mode.
Been reliable so far...

Might as well get the Jig easy Download mode xD. I made mine myself cost a whole $2.50 for one xD
I used odin 1 click to get phone back to stock . Now my phone will not go into dl mode with any of the button combos.Also i can not get into recovery.Other than those 2 things the phone boots up and works.Any help please..
Which Odin one click ? And what were you running before you did the one click?
Use a jig for dl mode.
You tried Vol Down-Power and then after the splash screen releasing the power button and continuing to hold Vol Down.
Does your phone fully boot? If it does and you have adb on your computer. Turn on USB debugging, connect the phone to your computer via USB, and then use the command 'adb reboot download' without the '
Hope that works for you.
I used odin 1 click flashed phone back to eclair 2.1 I897UCJF6..The phone will boot into eclair and function properly but i cant get to dl mode or recovery.thanks for the responses
Its risky but IF YOU ARE ON 2.1 YOU CAN FLASH THE 3 BUTTON FIX, or flash i897 gingerbread bootloaders, but DO NOT FLASH THE 3 BUTTON FIX AFTER FLASHING THE GINGERBREAD BOOTLOADERS OR YOU WILL BE HARD BRICKED YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!

I would recommend i897 GB bootloaders instead of the 3 button fix. It still fixes the button problem, but never, never, never flash the 3 button fix after flashing GB bootloaders. You have been warned again.

It should. Also, hold volume up + down, then plug in USB should also. Before you try that, restart your computer and pull the battery on the phone for a couple minutes before trying again. Have Odin open before you plug in the phone. Make sure you are using a pry on the back of the computer ( #1 on a laptop).

I had this a cpl of times, u'll have to reinstall drivers (uninstall first) ,or I use kies mini to reinstall drivers all the time when the pc won't recognize it (this usually happens after switching bootloaders), reboot ur pc and after that ur pc should pick it up (found new hardware). Once the drivers are loaded head back to odin and this time ur com port should light up.
Try this method for download mode... It's worked on every build captivate I've tried, even the fabled 1008 build.
1. Turn off phone, pull battery, sim card, sd card
2. Open ODIN (optional)
3. Plug in USB, then hold both volume buttons (NOT power button)
4. Re-insert battery while still holding volume buttons.
Phone should instantly boot into download mode
ICS is good..but i feel that in GB ROMs i had a better control over my phone and so i want to down grade to GB....
I tried with Odin 1.7...sadly my phone is event recognised :'( in the Odin.
and i just tried flashing the ROM from recovery options ..the phone ended up cursing me....
looking for options and fyi key combos doesnt work in my cappy so i cant get in the dwd mode ......i tried from ROM manager also..its not going in dwd mode.....
any and all help and suggestions appreciated ....
You need ODIN or Heimdall. If it isn't recognize then you either have the wrong drivers or you set it up wrong.
i have tried on both ( i wanted to format the whole phone so that i can go back to the froyo) nothing worked.drivers installed , i can use the USB on / off also..but both dont recognise the phone.....and neither does adb......it just waits for the device o respond
Did you do a Nandroid backup with CWM before you flashed ICS? If you did then just do a restore. It worked for me. I had backed up CM7 before I flashed ICS. I had to go back to CM7 before I could flash a different ICS Rom.

Think you need to odin first. Since stock runs on different partition.

No...not nandroid ..i use Titanium ..so didnt do nandroid..
You will have to figure out how to get your phone in download mode before Odin or ham. Will work to recover your phone. If you have flashed a different boot loader to your phone the button combo may have changed.
Default combo is hold up+down+ power. Other ones I've come across is down+ power for download mode.
Otherwise I would suggest a USB jig to get download mode quickly.
Once you have that then using Odin PDA slot with a stock froyo image should work.

yes..true...but thats the prob..i am not able to get the phone in to dwd mode....i have tried all things i can.....
You've even tried a jig to go into download mode?
That method is pretty much guaranteed to work.
If you don't think there is anything more to do then I would suggest checking out mobiletechvideos
He can do what might seem impossible.

Isolate your fingers from the resistors, black tape or something. Make sure you are using the correct pins and be patient. All else fails you can have one shipped in for $15.

I can vouch for Captivate:
Hold Vol up and down. Press power and keep it on til white AT&T splash screen appears. Keep holding Vol Up and Down until CWM Recovery shows.
The same sequence for download but instead of Power On use USB cable insert into phone. Download appear much faster.
i can get in to the CWM options..but i cant get in to recovery..... even the AIO doesnt detect it..and so does the adb options....
You mean - you cannot get into download mode with Droid shoveling his own grave before fire squad?
yes.... even though i can give that options from other sources.i cannot get in to dwd mode..it alwasys boots in to recovery
your options are to either order a jig, send it out to josh, or
pull your battery
put it back in
do NOT turn on phone
hold volume up AND down at the same time
while holding both buttons insert the usb cable
continue to hold both volume buttons and wait for up to 10 seconds for download mode to activate
Guys,
I need some clarification. Im currently on GB but want to try ICS. I made a Nandroid backup of my phone. Now, if I wnat to downgrade from ICS to GB I can just restore the Nandroid? Or do I need first to go back to GB?
Can you guys give me the steps for this? OR will a simple Odin1click work to get me back to GB.
Thanks in advance and sorry if this was answered before, Im just a bit confused about the process.
