[Q] Is my Captivate bricked? Guys, I need your help !

Hello everyone,
One day, I upgraded a ROM firmware (I don't remember which ROM exactly..) on my Captivate..
I formated everything before update (data, cache, AND system !).
During update I was making a coffee, and when I came back on the phone,
it was absolutely dead.. Only a full black screen.. Not detected on USB, just nothing.
After that, I tried everything that was possible (a lot of combo's, Odin3..)
Then, I bought a JIG, but still nothing, I tried with some different combo's (I can't remember which ones..)
Now, I would like to recover my Captivate! But.. how ?
If someone find the final good solution, I would like to donate via Paypal
Thanks, in advance!

Need more info. Which rom? Did you use 3 button fix? Have you tried adb? What about holding volume down while plugging in usb? Are you sure battery isn't just dead (dont laugh, its happened)?
If you did all that, its most likely a hard brick. There are developers here that offer JTAG service.

As I said, I don't remember the ROM. I was trying every new ROM, so, I really can't remember.. Sorry
About 3 button fix.. I don't know what it is exactly !? If it is vol down+up+Power, yes I did !
Nope, I did not try ADB.. I tried to find informations about this, but I cannot find! If you can help me about this, u'r' welcome !
Vol down does nothing..
I think my battery is still alive. Because when I plug my charger on it, it becomes a little warm after some hours, so I guess it's still alive..
I saw some JTAG infos, but I don't know what to do.. Do I need to send my Captivate to a JTAG's owner in USA !? It's like 40$ to send a secured shipping to USA..
Thanks for trying to help me!

If a jig will not turn it back on you may need the jtag. There are threads about it.

Is that possible to buy a JTAG ? I think I can't make one..
I made some searchs on eBay but I found nothing.
Thanks for helping
EDIT : I installed ADB on my computer, now I would like to connect it to my phone, but.. Don't know how!? What combo do I need to do, for my captivate be recognized by ADB ?
Thanks.

JTAG is not something you can buy on ebay. As mrhaley said, you need to send your phone to one of the developers who offer JTAG service. They will fix it and send it back to you.

Download AIO toolbox, go to advanced and clock reboot into download mode with your phone on and it will go to download mode, no jig needed. it worked for me just now.

Thank you guys for these answers.
* The problem is that I cannot send my Captivate to a JTAG's owner in USA,
because it's approximately 40$ fees to send it ! Then, with a return, it makes a total of 80$..
* Another problem is that I bought my captivate on eBay, and it's not under warranty..
* Maybe it remains the "ADB" solution (I never tried this), but I don't know how to connect my phone? because it stays turned off, then if I connect, I just get nothing..

Adb doesn't work unless you can get into the OS. You have a brick, jtag is your ONLY option of getting a working phone.

Ok, I understand, but .. How could i use a JTAG if I cannot send my Captivate to USA ? (too much expensive!). Thanks

It's either bricked forever or you pay for jtag. Those are your only options.

How are you at soldering? The captivate is one of the hardest phones to jtag, the solder points are smaller than the width of a dime, it would be really easy to fry the circuit board trying to jtag it yourself.

I think I will not try, I'm really a noob with this
Thanks for help.
Do you think I can still sell my Captivate, for those who want to repair/fix or use parts? If I can, what kind of price? (my captivate is in perfect state, like new)

There's a user from XDA forums,Mcguyver1980. In one of his posts says he's in Belgium and can fix bricked phones. I don't know anything about this guy personally, but since you're about to scrap your phone I figured it wouldn't hurt for you to check if this guy is legit. Just make sure he understand it's a hard brick.

I bought my phone in december/january 2011.. But the seller did not say it was under warranty I received the original box .. So, do you think its under warranty ? But I guess postage is at my expense..

Can anyone suugest a good JTAG service to fix my bricked Captivate

Hi guys,
I have a samsung captivate brikced it , and it seems it need a jtag .
I am located in Montreal Canada , I dont mind shipping the phone is the service is reliable.

Check your pm

mobiletechvideos.com
Im not afraid to say that in public. LOL
if you are in Montreal. why is your country flag for USA?
and are you sure its bricked? there are situations where it LOOKS bricked but isnt.
i flashed with a black screen about 10 times last night making rogers one-click stock flashers.
how did you brick? and how are you sure its bricked?

Go with the un-brickable mod instead. That way if you do it again you won't need to jtag again
i897 running Fusion X

what he means to say is :mobiletechvideos.com can do the jtag OR do unbrickable mod for you.

lol fixed that .
I was planning to sell the phone , so I decided to upgrade it before i sell it , and fuk i bricked it
the phone doesnt response to anything at all , plugging it in to the wall doesnt display anything on the screen .

fixed what?
and like i said.. if it is just a bad flash, the screen may do nothing. even plugging in... (noone ever has suggested trying that). try booting up odin, hold your keycombo and plug in.
see if the box turns yellow.

[Q] Bricked Captivate, at a loss here

A work friend of mine had his Captivate bricked mid update by his child.
I offered to fix it, brought it back by Heimdall (2.2). Charged it for about an hour and a half, then decided to try to upgrade it to gingerbread through Kies mini on my wife's laptop. It got stuck at 4%, and after a while I figured I could use Heimdall again, then flash 2.3 through other means.
Problem is now I can't get into download mode, nor powered on to the phone ! PC screen.
I owned a captivate before switching to Sprint, soft bricked it numerous times (Odin was my best friend) haven't ran into this problem before.
What next?

So...it does nothing at all? Just sits there like a bag o'marbles?
If so, Sounds like it failed while updating bootloaders, and if that's the case it's bricked, like brick bricked. Only unbrickable mod can bring it back.
On a side note FU kies for flashing the bootloaders FIRST, that's just dumb....they should be at the end so if it does disconnect or fail it would most likely be before it got to the dangerous part, making it a safer flash. Wtf were they thinking?

Kind of what I feared, thought it was odd that it crashed the phone that hard after only 4%.
Luckily he's already got a new phone, I was just curious if I could bring the old one back to life.
Was kind of hoping it might be a battery thing.

That is incorrect. You could have Mobile Tech Videos JTAG it and resurrect it. Although the unbrickable mod is the prefered solution (Hence unbrickable) JTAG is for the people who have never held a soldering iron in their hands before. They are reliable and can have your phone running stock within 5 days of mailing it off.
Off topic: why would it be so hard for samsung to solder those couple wires that make up the unbrickable mod in factory during production. Theres another defficiency in over seas companies, they try to get off doing as little work as possible. When you make a phone running an open source OS, 99% some kid in his basement is going to mod it to perform better than stock OS. which is the case of most androids. Cmon' samsung! get your act together!

Yes....jtag can bring it back, but once and then it.can be bricked again, why do that when you can send it to mobiletechvideos and get unbrickable mod applied? he offers that service too.
a solution and then A chance to brick and have to send it off again, versus a solution that is done once and then after that is fixable by the user themself...i am aware of jtag but on phones that have unbrickable mod it's really just too antiquated to be a viable option, which is why i didn't mention it.

Was not aware of that haha. Definately if deciding between JTAG for 40$ and Unbrickable mod for 45$, the 5$ will save you whole lot of time, money, and headaches.

FYI...mobile tech videos will also do the unbrickable mod for you... either option is available from them. AdamOutler will also do it for you last i heard 30 bucks after shipping.
are you friggin kidding me?? its not just regular soldering... or a regular soldering iron. And JTag is a method of using open pads on the mainboard, used by almost all cell companies to program the phones and allows direct input/output control. And until AdamOutler's research into the processor was the only way to de-brick. oh.. and on some phones JTag requires soldering..
WIKIPEDIA Jtag.

Hope for a Bricked Vivid ?? { Discussions of Possible Solutions }

Hello Guys,
I recently PICKED up a DEAD VIVID from a fellow XDA'r for a really cheap price hoping I can UNBRICK it and use it
As I have understood , This phone was bricked during the ICS update Process. Looks like the Original Owner did not know what he was doing LOL,
The phone should be here in a WEEK
Can anypone shed any light on how this can be fixed and what are the possible options ?
JTAG ??? HTC service
I live in INDIA BTW

bump....
Hope I wasn't a Idiot to buy a bricked VIVID ??

I don't think any solution has been found so far. If you hadn't already known, our vivid section is really small with not a ton of development going on. The people that couldn't follow directions were sort of left in the dust, and I don't know of anyone working on a fix for the bricks.

If you can get into Qualcomm dload mode, you should still have a shot at fixing it. If it literally can't get into dload mode, does not boot into fastboot, or any other possible method of pushing files to the phone, then yes, it is bricked. You will have to find a way to use JTAG or send it to an HTC service center.

Thank you all !!!!! hoping for RIFF box to work

I started a similar thread.....I also have a bricked Vivid.....I have been able to get mine to be recognized by QPST on com6 in phone download mode.....the question is, what do I do now? QPST seems to be pretty straight forward, but I have no idea where to find the necessary files to flash the phone. Any ideas?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

..

I haven't been able to find any .hex files for our device. Tried opening the various .img files extracted from the PH39IMG.zip in a hex editor and saving them as .hex files but QPST returns an error. I don't have any experience in hex editing, but I know I can't brick the phone any worse. My g/f has went back to an HTC Inspire so I am going to keep this hope alive as a side project.

Whether this guy who bricked his phone was a NOOB, isnt really an issue now is it? Nor if he is one of the ones whom ticked off PG.. I bricked my Vivid, and 1) I'm not a NOOB. 2) I followed Directions to the letter ... did everything right and it still bricked.. but i had insurance through BestBuy , sent it in and got a new phone 2 days later.. re-tried the same steps i did before which bricked my phone, and it went through without a hitch... We arent here to judge people nor start up another thread which can potentially lead to another mass exodus from XDA

Well I just got off the phone with HTC....seems I was wrong about their warranty policy. Even though I was not the ORIGINAL purchaser the PHONE is still under warranty. I will be shipping it back to HTC first thing in the AM.

I called HTC and gave them my contact info and all the info about the phone....IMEI#, serial #, and part #.....told them what the problem was....and they emailed me the info about sending the phone in...worst case is the problem won't be covered under warranty, in which case I will have to pay $135 to have it fixed. Hopefully it will be covered under warranty though....

can't remember what else but yeah if ur not original owner from a store they go by production date of the phone, i've been lucky that i always got them fixed for free, only once they said that said that the damage to my screen was due to physical damage and didn't fix it, and they charged me $40 (they call it a triage fee) other than that, i had to pay to ship it to them but it's worth the $5 using usps priority mail, they ship back at their cost with a nice box and HTC lint free cloth lol

If you need the H-BOOT let me know i,ll give you a copy once you have it leave it as is just put the zip file (PH39IMG.ZIP) to the root of the sd card hold down vol button and power at the same time once you see it boot let go and the phone will do the rest it will unbrick it for sure.

If you can go to downlad mode, than you are not bricked your phone. Reflash or use guide to get back to GB.

usb jig will work only if your device is not dead that mean when you press power button if you get some splash screen or stuck at boot logo then usb jig will work but if no response from power button then usb jig will not work for you.
And the solution for the boot repair is using jtag riff box. Its not good idea to buy riff box just for your one phone its better to take it to service centre for repair.
And also there is a elite developer Adam Outler who can fix it messing with the hardware you can see his threads.
Anyway good luck :good:

USB jig is the only way to get into downloading mode & what you have experienced is a hard brick. I faced the same issue with samsung galaxy mini and luckily I got the motherboard replaced for free under warranty in service center acting innocent,.

How can you not have warranty? The phone is barely an year old right? I think it launched in Europe during April 2012 or something.
Grey market purchase?
