Hi, i used baywolf's AIO captivate rogers 2.6 to flash back to stock using the supplied odin. It went alright and odin said that it completed successfully. I closed odin and reinserted the battery, there i watched it boot up and the rogers splash screen was up for a very long time. It eventually just shuts off after staying at the rogers screen. Help anyone?
reboot into recovery
wipe user data and wipe cache.
check out the rogers stock rom links in my sig.
full instructions and the same files AIO uses. (he uses my files)
Hey, i was about to go out and buy some resistors to make a jig because i didn't have the 3 button recovery fix. Then i tried wiping user data and it rebooted, to my surprise it loaded into the lock screen. All's perfect now, thanks for your help.
jig only helps if your screen doesnt come on.

Thats not true at all. It helps if you are in a situation where you can't boot properly and your button combo doesn't work. His combo obviously worked because he made it to recovery...
ok... true.. was talking about him... didnt consider other readers...
But isn't the screen not coming on at all a sign of a brick and not just a "soft brick"?
I know you had those couple of weird ones but that isn't the norm, and I haven't heard anyone else report success with a jig like that...
yeah but with my trick i found, the natural tendency when putting in a battery is, see if it turns on, ie push a button, which breaks the trick, i wonder how many people could acutally get unbricked with that? or just holding the buttons long enough... lol..
Hahaha...canadians...y u so funny?

Hi...
Ok.. I was on rogers 2.2 stock, I was trying to follow instructions to install paragon, anyway, it didnt work, my phone was still working great tho.. so i tried flashing stock jh6 with the one click from the wiki here... That worked and I now have a rogers phone with att stuff loading up. anyway, I am trying to complete the instructions for paragon but I can no longer get to recovery mode.
the att logo keeps rebooting if i keep holding down vol up and down, what do I do now ?
Edit : I cant seem to even get to download mode Recovery mode always worked before, download mode was always tricky, but it refuses now
do you have adb installed?? if so run adb reboot recovery in command prompt.
OR
Take out battery, take out sim and SD card. press and hold VOL UP/DOWN. put in battery, press power. release power upon seeing AT&T sign. pray.
Works for me about 99 times outta 100 at this point!
but i prefer adb since its much more fool proof!

<captainhindsight>You should not have flashed JH6.</captainhindsight>
As per the above post, boot the phone, enable debugging and use 'adb reboot recovery'. After you get that sorted, flash the 3 button fix and never flash to stock unless stock firmware is your final destination or your phone is so hosed you have to use download mode to fix it. If you do use odin in the future then use the right one for your phone build so you don't lose your button combos.

Nor should you have allowed yourself to be photographed in a compromising position wit Courtney Love...Sorry, couldn't resist.
but I only followed instructions Everyone that asks was getting told to go try and blah blah, well that was what I was doing.
You know now I am really stuck. I did use adb and restored stock and didnt want to mess with my phone anymore, but the at&t logo kept popping up, im with rogers. I found a fix and was following those instructions when odin screwed up, it started flashing then said it failed, it happened to me once before but my combo key was working then.
I dont understand why it stopped, It seemed to be intermittent, a bunch of issues, after flashing that at&t rom.
I wish I could fix it, I am stressing out over it, ill get the stuff for that jig tomorrow and hope that works. This phone is brand new! I am not a modder or hacker, I got stiffed by rogers and samsung with the voice dial over bluetooth issue, they wouldnt take the phone back.
I would love to have the att logo gone, rogers froyo 2.2, and broken bluetooth.. Its better than a paper weight. Please help me ! You know what.. I can live what that logo.. I just want to get my phone operational.
Goodnight, and thanks for your help.
i'm guessing you didn't flash the 3 button fix that opcow suggested before doing anything else?
if you can get into download mode, flash this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812434
No I didn't, in its forum it says if you had no problems initially with the 3 buttons, this is not for you. Thats what it said! I was told I shouldnt have done that and should have flashed the 3 button fix after the fact.
I just bought resistors, ill be home later to try and force download mode.
Thanks for your help, I am not as upset as I was yesterday, I was tired.
Hi, I have a SS/ATT Galaxy S. It was working fine. I made the mistake of running an update to change the ATT splash screen. The device boots to the ATT splash screens and stays there. You can hear the SS start up sounds as though the unit booted ok.
I've tried various Odins they all hang on file analysis. I've tried using different computers per the recommendations in the various threads. I've tried many of the one click and also separate file updaters. They all hang on file analysis.
I am able to use Droid explorer to view the device. I've also put a new update.zip on an sd card but nothing seems to change the splash screen.
I'm not sure how to tell what version the unit is currently on.
I can get to the 3 button state. It says Android System recovery <2e>.
I have the options to reboot, reinstall packages, delete all user data and delete cache data. I've tried each of them, no change.
I have tried to read many threads before bothering anyone. Your input would be appreciated.
Thanks
if you have the update.zip on your phone, in the root of your SD card.. then from 2eRecovery, select reinstall packages.. may have to do it twice. That will boot your phone into clockworkmod recovery.. and from there you should be able to mount storage- put a ROM on your device, flash and be good to go.
Reply to thread
Hi, Thanks for the fast response. I've tried update.zip on both an sd card and also via droid explorer, about 5 times. If I reboot, same thing, the ATT splash is there, and the Galaxy boot sound. I can get into recovery and droid explorer works. If I try Odin it hangs on file analysis. Anything else I can try? Thanks again.
Are you in dl mode when you try this, or recovery?
The phone is now bricked. I was in recovery mode as I saw the 3 button posts on holding the up/down and pwr. I just tried it with dl mode and odin3 and bricked it.(based on another forum's input to check repartition I think). Now it won't boot at all but I'm still able to get to dl mode but not sure what to run to fully recover.

If you can get to dl mode try using AIO Captivate to flash back to stock 2.1. I've had success as I flashed with the partition checked and had to go all the way back using ODIN contained in the AIO Captivate program. Found here

Yeah if you can get into download mode than you are not bricked. I would Odin or Heim back to JF6 and go from there. What happened when you tried reinstalling packages from 2e? I know you said everytime you reboot- but what did it say when selected reinstall packages?

Now on to some real ROM flashing!! Glad you got it working. I did almost the same thing and was sweating bullets.
Yeah, it was quite scary. I actually purchased some 100k resistors on Ebay but didn't need to make the jig.
Can you recommend a good set of f/w to load? Is it worth it to move to 2.3?
Cheers...

Of course it is worthed it to move to 2.3 I mean, it comes with so many more features and is running just perfect as a everyday rom. You shouldn't be disapointed

+1.
I had to make a jig when I soft bricked it. Not fun. Since then I purchased one and am glad I did.
Well, that means I won't have wasted my $2.00.
I saw this and thought it worth to try. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0aoabVtPJ8
In your footer, it says you're using mosaic.
e.g. ROM: Mosaic III, ¤Kernel: Xcal's #14, ¤Modem: JK4, ¤Launcher: ADW Ex
Can you point me to the correct files/process? I guess I'm scared of screwing it up again. when I look on the forum there's almost too much info for a noob to choose which is best. Cheers...
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

No download Mode after I897 GB Bootloaders on CM7
Hi there, i've got a question. If i can't get into download mode using the 3 button combination nor the Vol- + Power nor the connect+press buttons+insert baterry trick , do i have chance to get into download mode using the YIG? Thank you
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?

Yes, according to those that have done jtag or the unbrickable mod, these methods are successful. To get better info though, I would recommend going to those specific threads.

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
I have a samsung captivate and i have been using the ROM fasty 2.5 for the past few months and i noticed there was a fasty III 1.3, So i went into my clockwork recovery and back up'd my system and data and whiped it all and proceeded to install the ZIP to my phone. When it all had finished i tried to reboot my phone and i got this staticy screen and then it would repeatedly restart over and over back to the static. So i then forced it to stay off and tried to boot it up to the recovery menu by holding the volume buttons and the power button and it can't boot to the recovery menu. Instead it just stays at the I896 screen. Is there anything i can do to fix this problem? i need my phone working as soon as possible so any help would be very much appreciated!
Sounds to me like you didn't flash the GB bootloaders. Might need to get yourself a jig and then flash the right bootloaders

I checked all the sticky notes and the web and it looks like these all include me messing around with the insides of my phone and tinkering with the hardware. I am not very comfortable doing that or do i have the understanding or tools to mess with that. Is there anything i can do software related to unbrick this. Or is my phone truly F'd?
No worries! I ended up using odin3 to restore it. Thank you very much for your help anyways! i will be sure to grab those GB loaders this time.
Hi,
As the title says I have small problem. I bought my SGS1 with custom rom and kernel flashed into it already - sometimes it shows wrong time, went into recovery mode without my knowledge, had some problems with apps. Today I pressed Power and chose reboot - now I am stuck at animation that appears after logo kernel Semaphore. Of course I tried to look in other threads, I found a lot of them but still I cant figure out how to do it. You see, I never did it before and it's all hokus-pokus to me even tho I read stuff here at the forums. I managed to get into downloand and recovery mode using 3 button combo What do I do now? It seems way too complicated for newbie like me, every post isn't explaining it enuff for me. Can someone help me or at least give some tips, clues?
Things I got installed are Android 4 .0.4, 3.0.8 Semaphore ics 1.1.2s.
Thanks in advance guys

Get in recovery, clear cache and dalvik cache and reboot.
It will take a while to full boot cause it will have to rebuild it's cache but should work from there.
If it doesn't, You'll need more stuff but we'll get to that then.

Okay. I wiped cache and dalvik. Now I'm waiting on animation screen for 30 minutes. I'll let you know what happens after 1 hour.
By the way does any of those problems could be related to low battery? I had like 20% last time I rebooted my phone and problems started.
One more thing is - I don't have memory microSD card - guy sent me 16GB one but it doesn't work. Can we fix it without it? I wanted to buy a new one eventually
EDIT: Okay, one hour passed after I wiped cache. Everything was stuck on animation but suddenly, after I walked out of phone for a 5 minutes it stopped - everything was gone, I couldn't Power it or use 3 button combo. I think that's cuz battery went low. I plugged it into charger, we'll see if it charges. I hope so. EDIT2: Yeah, that was battery. Still can enter Recovery.

Did you recently remove the sd card? If so, try booting with it in your cell.
If that doesn't work, Mount your phone through recovery to backup your stuff on PC (like pics).
Now you'll need Odin KK4 without bootloaders (found in the stickies). As will as corn kernel and Odin 1.87. And finally a JB rom you wanna use on your internal sd.
Get your phone in download mode and flash KK4 (stock GB). Let it do us it's magic, once done, make sure it boots up fine. Then get back in recovery to flash corn kernel with odin 1.87 (gotta put it in the PDA slot). Finally, follow the FULL instructions provided by the ROM dev you chose.
