are you sure is your phone? or just "found" it.
anyway, you need an home made JIG or to push the small button between camera and speaker, under the backplate. You'll see there a small hole. Push with something thin in there, while phone is off and it will enter download mode
happy flashing

Take phone to a service centre with original purchase receipt
and they can unlock .

There's an USB Dongle which brings you into the download mode. The dongle is easy to make. Search for it her in the board.
If you have adb installed plug your phone in with usb, open a command prompt and type adb reboot download

Any service center should be able to assist.
Just reset the password/pin using your gmail account.
Then apply the 3BR fix.
This is how you can unlock the Samsung Galaxy S WITHOUT a factory reset. Don't lose your apps, contacts and data. Complete with video.

I don't know what I did but I can't get my phone to do anything. I tried to do a factory reset and now when I turn my phone on all it does is have this little computer voice saying factory reset detected. I tried the whole download thing over 100x's i'm getting pissed and I don't know what to do. I need my phone for work someone please help.
Can you get it into download mode? Put cable into usb on computer ( do not connect to phone ) pull battery on phone. hold down the volume button, plug battery in and then plug into usb should put it in download mode. If you can do that you can use Odin and flash the rom back on the phone. Follow this thread for files and directions.

The resistor in the jig solution cost more than insurance I'm good lol.
Have you tried all the various button combos to get to Download Mode?
yes, I have tried them all. The only thing my phone does is boot the att logo then the galaxy s logo and then the screen turns black but the buttons stay lit.
Sounds like you'd benefit from a JIG, but it looks like you would rather replace the phone.
Good luck
have you seen the cost of the jig procedure. you would to lol
Jig is about 9$ if you do it the quick way, which is cheap. if you can order the breakout board then its about 5$
Have you tried to do a "adb reboot download" during the boot process ??
the little part you connect to your usb cable is 163 bucks

Like, this isn't even funny anymore. My phone is bricked and I've used the Jig. Now it doesn't even go to the download screen, it just skips to a Galaxy S Gt-i9000 screen and when I try to run Odin one click - it gets stuck on File Analysis.

Okay, your phone is obviously getting to the stage that it can receive commands (seeing as Odin can recognize it). Download ADB (android debug bridge). I'm not going to go into a tutorial now. Ask if you need one, I'll write one.
Once you have that downloaded and installed, go to the directory containing adb.exe and type "adb reboot download" without the quotes. Your phone should reboot into download mode.
Edit: Found this standalone ADB file, in case you don't want to download and install the whole SDK. Props to velnens123.
BTW; I'm assuming you already have drivers for your phone installed. If not, this will not work, nor will pretty much anything else.

Never heard that one before, but don't think that's possible. Some of the guides I've read suggest placing the resistors on the outside places of the usb port, not on any specific prong. Regardless, if his computer recognizes the phone (which it does... Odin can see it), then ADB should work perfectly.

Those are the ones you need. Dunno if you have x64 or x32 Windows, but that file should have both.
Also, be sure to run ADB more than once. If you get Device Not Found, do not close the command prompt window, try unplugging and replugging the phone and wait for Windows to make it's hardware detected noise, then try again.
Yeah, the jig needs to be on pins 4&5, closest ones to headphone port iirc. Never had to use one personally but pretty sure that is what I've read.
jig can and will turn your phone in if the wrong prongs are touched
Thread is getting off topic; there are more than three posts about the same fix without a reply from the OP. Give it a rest...
Anyway, any proper jig should, should, be made with an actual mini USB, not just shoving the resistors into the phone, though it would work, it's just a lot less safe.
I have to agree with every one. I have had to make and use a jig. Sense I had it i tested all the how to's here and if you are not touching the right pins in the port (i highly suggest using a USB plug in) then all it will do is turn it on. They have to be touching pins 4 & 5 otherwise it will just boot up

I hear the sound that window makes when it detects the device, but ADB command prompt says error device not founddd.
Trust me, it's not the Jig, I've gotten it to start up to this screen 10 times with the closest to the jack.

Have you fixed it yet?
I bricked my captivate pretty badly about 1.5 months ago too but i built a jig and fixed it. It doesn't sound like you've done that yet, though...
If i were you I'd build a jig and make sure the pins and resistances are correct and try again. I've heard the resistance from the skin on your fingers can affect it enough that it not work.
I attached a picture showing which pins to connect on a micro-usb "plug in"
Good luck,
Eric

I made a jig, just not with the USB one. :S
I'll probably just buy one off of Ebay for simplicity's sake and lack of interest of wasting more time. I spent more time :/
Can anyone here tell me how C-fone is?

He seems legit to me, but I just want other member feedback to make sure.
I've sold to quite a few on here for what it's worth.

Never bought a jig... never really had to (I just got mine replaced under thirty days). I can't give feedback on someone I've never bought from, though he seems to have some considerable rep (positive feedback). I can recommend though, this http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=100
Though for considerably more ($13.00), I can guarantee that that one will work.
When I disconnected my captivate from my computer, and go to turn on my phone, the only thing that pops up is this picture, and that even happens when I pulled out the battery. Do you have any idea what is wrong with it and how I can fix it? It's hard to see but the screen has a little phone connected to a computer with an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle (error sign).
That is a soft brick. I hope u have dl mode. And if u dont know what that is search for odin one click downloadmode or something

Ur join date and posts count makes me think u bought Captivate recently. So, please pull out battery, and let us know the build date of ur phone. It is generally of the form MM.YY or MM.YYYY. E.g., 10.09, 10.12, etc.
Thanks
I know what download mode is, and now that i know i need to get it back into download mode, i searched up methods of how to do it and found a good solderless jig at

Thank you, and yes, this question should be made as sticky to save the users some headache. They could make/order the JIG first n then start experimenting.
Can't recall if its 10.08 or 10.09 the last build for Odin 1 Click to work.
diablo009
yeah. Unfortunately my phone was sent in to samsung without my knowledge, so i cant tell you the build date, but if you still want to know to make a list or something, i can tell you when i get it back.
By the way:
I have had my phone for around 3-4 months, but have only recently taken an interest in customizing it, so i don't really have experience with hacking, and very complicated software, but am trying to learn, which is why I made an xda account.
so were you still on stock rom? you sent it in for waranty?
and it sounds like for download mode you are going straight to a jig. did you try the normal way first?
shut it off unpluged, hold VOL + & -, then Plug in, 1sec release vol (no power button)
I believe build dates 1010 or newer...Jh7 firmware are one click bricks......1007 has three button download guaruntee 1008/09 are hit and miss and sometimes require a jig.....the build date/number is under the battery or try powering of remove battery hold the 3 button , place battery in and release the power while holding the volume ...works for me ..good luck!
Edit: Look into Odin3...for 1010-1012builds.. please read the forums first!...may find u a solution there. But please refrence ur Build number for the proper procedures.

Yes i am going to assume that a lot of people will not help me with this because its compromising the security of the phone, but i have yet to find a solid way to bypass this and i have been trying for a few days now to sort it out. I am trying to just factory reset the phone but because the 3 button method is disabled and i cannot get on the phone to root it i am having a world of difficulties. I am just hoping someone has found a method as I'm willing to just give up soon.
I have looked at a few other threads but it would appear anyone that can actually help with this issue would rather not because its against everything the security system is for and i appreciate that so if you aren't going to help and feel yourself wanting to leave a totally justified comment, be my guest just don't expect a response.
Thanks for reading.
simply flash the phone with your favorite ROM, and it will go away.... along with whatever information you couldn't backup
but at least it will get you working
Yeah, a rom flash would hit the spot. Try darkys resurection. Life saver

Seeing as 3br isn't working you'd have to use a download mode jig to do a reflash. Unless 'adb reboot download' works.
Sorry i might end up sounding like an idiot saying this, I'm only adept with flashing on a Nexus One, how do i go about doing this without entering recovery or being able to access the phone?

you don't need a soldering iron, that's the beauty of it
the resistors you can just twist the end
the microUSB when you peel it off, keep the cables
then just tied them all up.

Unfortunately my I9000 fell on the floor a few weeks a go and repairing it is not an option. I'm planning to buy a new phone (S3) and try to sell my good old SGS. Now here is my question.
As my screen is broken, I cannot access my phone anymore. I cannot connect it to my pc. But i still have data on the phone I need to erase before I sell it. Is there an option that anyone knows that I can do this. My main concern is that my creditcard number is in the phone (google play) and I don't know if I haven't set my pin to 0000.
Anyone who can help?
