Im pretty sure my phone is soft bricked, but it wont recognize in adb shell to reboot into recovery
(eg, "error: device not found") . At first windows kept saying device not recognized, so i reinstalled drivers and now it says Samsung Mobile Modem is good to go, but adb devices/shell still wont work. What do?
Have you tried odin
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Was just about to update, tried odin and it recognizes but it hangs at file analysis. Edit: On both odin oneclick and the manual pit and tar
do get unbricked you have to get it into download mode and then plug it into odin3 1 click to go back to stock 2.1
Here is the methods to get into download mode:
Method 1: Key Combination 1 (recommended)
1. Remove your battery, external SD card and SIM card
2. Reinsert battery and battery cover.
3. Hold down both volume buttons and while holding them down plug the phone in.
Method 2: Key Combination 2 (if method 1 doesn't work)
1. Remove your battery, external SD card and SIM card
2. Reinsert battery and battery cover.
3. Hold down both volume buttons and the power button.
Method 3: ADB (for advanced users.)
1. Download the android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (NOT THE .EXE VERSION)
2. Drag it into the ROOT (top-most directory) of your hard drive.
3. Open the Command Prompt and navigate to the tools folder in the android SDK.
4. type adb shell then press enter
5. type adb reboot download then press enter
Method 4: Download Mode JIG
search for captivate JIG
no key combos work, and i tried adb, i dont have a usb jig (would be nice) but do i need one if odin recognizes it already?
1. Adb only work from inside the OS with usb debugging on. So that's out of the question
2.If the phone isn't in download mode it won't initiate download protocol and odin will hang.
My phone is recognized by odin in all modes except completely off, but will only work if in download mode.
If no combinations work a jig will do it.
Sorry forgot to say that adb wouldn't work

Why even mention adb then, let alone give instructions and a link?
OP
Take the battery out, hold both volume buttons, plug in usb cable, keep holding volume buttons and insert the battery.
Try that to get to download mode.
once in download mode, put the back cover on so the battery doesn't fall out during the odin flash.

Dont flash a PIT. You don't need to flash PIT, PBL or SBL. They can only make things worse. Phone--/!\--PC means an incomplete flash was performed... It's been marked as not complete in the Params.lfs. Just complete a flash and you should be rollin'. Try flashing a modem.

Wow, learned something ... Thought it would take atleast a kernel if not a whole stock .tar or odin 1 one click.
Didn't know that just any flash would to it... Interesting.
It depends... As long as the kernel wasn't damaged, it will actually try to boot.... Dunno how WELL it will boot, but it won't give you the triangle at least.
Ah ... I see
yeah, I posted a youtube video about UART on a Captivate... In the video, about midway through, I pulled the USB cable while flashing a modem. It soft-bricked the phone. It's not that the phone was damaged, but marked as unbootable because it was in the process of flashing. Where things go wrong is if there's a bad USB cable used. In that case, corrupted data may be on the phone.

This might not be bricked, but if it isn't it must be as close as it can get. I flashed my phone back to stock 2.1 yesterday, and today when I tried to flash to cognition 8.1 it got stuck on "<ID:0/005> boot.bin" for a half hour. I unplugged it, and now my phone is stuck on the picture in the attachment.
- I can't get my computer to even pick it up with USB. Nothing happens at all.
- The only time it turns off is when I hold power, volume up, and volume down. Even then, it immediately boots right back into that picture. Nothing else happens.
- I can't get into download mode.
- When I remove the battery, it goes right back to this screen.
What can I do?
Happened to me earlier.
Do the following to get into download mode:
1) take out battery
2) put in battery
3) hold the vol up and vol down keys, then plug in the USB cord.
It will boot into download mode. Then try do what you were doing.

This hasn't worked before, but I went ahead and tried it again. It still just goes straight to the black screen with that picture in the center.
Hmm.
Well, I'm sure one of the 3 methods posted in the odin3 thread, on how to get to download mode, should work.
For me, it was the volume up and down buttons together, then plugging in the usb. It would turn on automatically and go straight to download mode.

Look under your battery below the serial numder of you phone and see if your batch is 1008. If it is those batches don't go into download mode. Send your phone in for waranty repair.

I don't see 1008 at all. I've booted into download mode before, even using the three button combo, I just can't now.
Would AT&T even cover this? Will they know I was tampering with stuff I shouldn't have?
Have you tried running Odin as administrator? Uninstall and reinstall the drivers for Odin. Keep trying, remove SIM, battery and external, hold the volume buttons only and plug phone in, keep trying, it should work. Blame the OTA for the "brick" and send it for warranty if you can't get Odin to work.

You know its interesting to see how many times I see people tell you to pull the battery, sim etc. Maybe I'm just lucky, but when I put my phone into download mode I power it off, open odin on my pc, hold down the volume buttons but NOT the power button and plug in the micro usb cable. Works everytime for me even with the PC /!\ Phone screen.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice, kept rebooting and removing my SIM and battery (no SD), changed USB ports, made sure each USB port works... Nothing has worked.
EDIT: The drivers I used were from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Man, I'm not sure.
Either you're doing the button combo wrong.. since you said it worked before, or you're gonna have to send it in for warranty.
Remember don't press the power button. Just hold the volume up, volume down button, and plug in the usb cable
I'm about to go to AT&T for an exchange. Wish me luck.
In the meantime, though, what's the easiest, least-risk of screwing up way to get a brand new captivate on cognition 8.1 with the z4mod?
I would say wait until the CW issues are worked out with BETA9 and just CW flash it. I've bricked two batch 1008 Captivates from Odin freezing mid-flash today. I even flashed DG's 3ButtonFix first, to make sure I'd be able to do a button combo to get back into download mode, and no dice.

Wow that's interesting. I also have a batch 1008 and when I flash with odin it's fine. But after every time I flash to stock jf6 I lose 3 button combo and just reinstall the fix zip using clockwork. Download mode using both volume keys then plug in usb always works for me though even without the fix.

My Captivate became the brick by failure of the recovery.
The screen remains black.
The power button and volume buttons no response.
In Japan, I cannot repair it.
I am not a member of AT&T.
Please teach it if know the shop repairing other than AT&T.
step one. get odin3 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439
step two install drivers if you dont already have the drivers on your computer, there are manual driver install tutorials online, google it
3. extract files and start odin.exe
4. put .pit file in the slot labled pit
5. put .tar file in the pda slot
6. plug usb data cable into computer, not into phone yet.
7. pull battery and put it back in,
8. hold volume up and volume down, insert data cable into phone and continue to hold the volume up+down buttons for at least 5 seconds. it should be in download mode. normally you have a yellow sign with a robot holding a shovel but i once had a black screen and odin still saw the device
odin will light up a box showing you are connected and the text should also indicate you are connected.
if not you may need to take other measures for download mode see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829492&page=3
9. once you are in download and odin sees the phone hit start to flash the phone.
if the flash is not successful try to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989&highlight=odin+click+stock+rom+jf6 instead, master clear if at all possible
It is not a download mode.
Odin3 many times I used to change the ROM, all of which succeeded.
This time, ClockWorkMod Recovery in ROM from microSD installed, black screen freezes when it reboot.
From then on, things that can both download mode button.
Also, USB does not respond to the command prompt can also ADB.
Thank you.

try building the adapter in the thread i posted, supposedly it forces download mode. also it is posible to be in download mode with a screen that is black, it happened to me once, try to flash it anyway.
you might need to take a trip to akihabara to build the jig but it's worth it i think.
also if the phone starts to a black screen then master clear it with odin one-click on that screen.
thanks for the info. saved my phone. thanks
Thank you for giving good advice!!

Maybe not. I thought I was there too.
Keep trying the battery pull method. It took several times before it finally worked for me.
Here's one version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9024244&postcount=7
but you can try other button combinations (like just volume up, or just volume down).
If you don't see anything on your screen, that doesn't mean it hasn't worked. Sometimes the graphic for download mode gets screwed up so the screen will still be black, but ODIN will still recognize the phone.
If you really are hard bricked, then you need jtag service. MobileTechVideos can do it for you.

Make/buy a Jig (forces the phone in to Download mode) if that doesn't work then like startngate said you will need a Jtag to fix it.
thanks for the reply i took it into a samsung certified repair tech here in the city he has a jtag machine. odin wouldnt recognize my device at all
Since i live in Brazil and here the galay s i9000 version is much different then our captivates and there is any place where i could try to fix my captivate i´ve decided to donate US$ 50,00 for who helps me fix my phone.
Here is exactly what happened:
I was already on cognition 2.3b6 but decided to flash back to stock and flash it again to 2.3b6 since i´ve never flashed back to stock and sincer i installed the firts custom room.
I installed the stock version usin odin 3 ( the files from cognition download threat ) and i didnt disabled lag-fix netheir deleted any folder or anything at all.
The installation to stock was succesful, then i used one click root installed the rom manager and selected the 2.3b6.zip
After rebooting it went to recovery screen as usual.. i selected the reinstall packages options and it reboot again, now it stuck some time on the at&t logo ( never had the voodoo voice ) ...and the rebooted again..
and here is the part where i know i was stupid
this time it entered on clockwork recovery mode then i tryed to backup and mount and it came back again to clockwork recovery mode... then i decided to wipe data and cache... then to format my sd card ( stupiedest point ! )..after i tryed to install packages again and after reboot it stayed like it is now
without the usb cable... if i turn it on it goes to at&t logo screen then it flashes on at&t logo... and then boot on recovery mode.
if i put the battery...plug the usb cable and try to turn it on.. the phone doesnt go to at&t logo.. it just stays on the charging mode.
i already tryed all download modes and none of them worked...
here is the list of things i´ve already ordered from sparkfun if i need to build that JIG thing...
1 - $10.95 - COM-09258 - Resistor Kit - 1/4W
1 - $3.95 - BOB-10031 - USB MicroB Plug Breakout Board
other info:
when i get on the at&t logo or recovery mode odin recognizes the phone as a com 4... so i cant flash it with odin...
and when i try to reboot on download mode using adb i receive an error msg " [1] segmentation fault " when i try to get the SU
any help ?
Can you still get to clockwork recovery?
If you can still get to cwm, download this http://www.ponack.net/designgears/JH7_OTA.zip and copy it to your external sd card, and try to flash it.
For download mode did you try:
1. Start odin
2. Remove battery from phone
3. Plug usb cable into phone
4. Hold down both volume buttons
5. Put battery back in while holding both volume buttons

If it's still on the internal sd card and you can get to recovery, choose the option "reinstall packages" it should do something and then it may kick you back to recovery 2e and then try one more time.

Wait so what happens if you have odin one click open, then unplug usb, pull battery, then put the battery back in and then plug usb in while holding both volume buttons. That's usually the surefire way to get download mode.

No.. the Battery trick should work. If your getting the battery charging while the device is turned off and the USB is plugged in that battery trick should work.
I've horked my phone harder then you have an still managed to get back into download mode.
The trick is remove the sim/sdcard and battery.
Plug in the USB
Then jam the battery back in.
Also.. if it's looping at the ATT logo you might have it up enough to do ADB commands.
See if your computer is recognizing the device. - ADB Devices - If it returns a value then you can just do:
Adb reboot download.
And Odin 1-click as normal to restore it.

Hi there I got a Samsung captivate SGH-I897 and I got a custom rom installer from Rom Kitchen. I wanted to go back to stock rom but once i get into download mode the phone not loading the rom ODIN stays in DO NOT TURN OFF THE TARGET!please help get out of that and use my phone again!the Base Rom i Used on custom rom is XWJS5 v9.6 with Firebird Kernel
Thank you for your time
close odin 1 click, unplug phone leave it in d/l mode, open odin plug phone back into usb, you should see a com port then like 7 or 3 or something. then hit start. Sometimes I have to repeat process 3 or 4 times before odin works right. if it isnt doing anything unplug it, remove battery put battery back in hold volume buttons down when u plug it back into usb and should go back to d/l mode. make sure odin is opened first.
I ve tried all these the problem is that I am at Phone - ! - PC and its hard to get to Download Mode but after many tries I all of a sudden I get in that mode then nothing more I can do!
Does Odin recognize the phone when you connect the USB cable when your phone is in download mode? Also which OS is your PC running? I was having an issue with Odin not pushing the stock rom and I had to start it as administrator in Win 7 to get it to work.

Yes DOES recognize the phone but not pushing the ROM on it!I am on Windows 7 and i always run ODIN as Admin!
Any ideas?
I've heard Odin can be flaky and may take several attempts before it will work. I would keep trying. Also possibly change which USB port you are using on your computer and see if that helps. I was in this exact same scenario last week. I would turn on the phone and get the computer/phone/exclamation point of death screen. I couldn't get the phone to boot or into download mode without using a JIG. Finally on about the third try Odin worked for me. I started Odin as admin and almost as soon as I plugged in the phone to USB I hit flash and it worked. Best of luck...
Odin is not flaky. It works if you follow instructions. It's the user's fault, not the software.
Anyway, this is probably the ten millionth time I've posted this in the last hour, but here's how to get into download mode if nothing else works. If this doesn't work, you hard bricked your phone and would need a JTAG flash.
Loggik said:
Unplug the phone from the computer and remove the battery, SIM, and external SD if there is one.
1. Open Odin one click.
2. Plug the phone in (without the battery in the phone). Do not press any buttons, especially the power button.
3. Press and hold the volume rocker (holding down both volume up and down).
4. Insert the battery while holding the volume rocker.
5. The phone should boot into download mode. You can then let go of the volume rocker.
Now wait 30 seconds (if you press "Start" too soon, it will not work). Then press "Start" and your flash should finish.

my phone is in download mode but odin hung once i unplugge and plugged back in ever since phone isnt see by odin or pc?
Yes, as I stated in my post above; you must reboot your phone every single time you go into Download mode. What I mean by that is that if you go into Download mode and plug your phone in, then unplug it, you cannot plug your phone back in unless you reboot your phone.

Didn't realize that you weren't the OP. Regardless, I was referring to you.
Anyway, this is a more serious case than I thought. Have you used the AIO Captivate Tool? If so, did you install the LibUSB drivers? Those will disable Odin from working (I'm probably going to PM Bay_wolf sometime soon about that...).
Do get everything working again:
Plug the phone in while it's in Download mode. Open the start menu, right click on "Computer", and click "Manage". In the left sidebar, select "Device Manager".
There will be a dropdown labeled "LibUSB Devices" or something with the word libusb in it. Find that dropdown, right click the Samsung USB Device or whatever it's called and select "Update Driver Software...". Then select "Search automatically for updated driver software."
An alternative is to just use the "Flash to Stock" option in the AIO tool. This and the above is assuming that you had used the AIO Tool and installed the LibUSB drivers previously. If you have not, then you may have to try and re-install the Samsung drivers. If that doesn't work, ask to borrow a friend's computer for now to flash back to stock, because this happened to me before and I didn't know how to fix it, but I was about to re-install Windows anyway so I never figured it out.
im on xp and pc sees my cappy but odin execution 1.00 is stuck on examing files is there another version i should be trying? if it helps this is what i was trying to get off my phone when the crap hit the fan http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940330 and i tried to put paragon 6 on and it kept erring because i needed to do a odin job first on it
I finally managed to turn my phone on last nigh by doing the following:

3.Disconnect phone
4.Reconnect phone
5.Choose the PIT file
6.Uncheck Auto Reboot
7.Hit Start
After that I took out the battery put it back again and power up.the phone will boot but not show the main screen it will only vibrate!then i used the AIO pack to put it back in recovery mode and i reinstalled the Custom Firmware I was using. Now is on and working again!I really dont know now if I can flash back to stock!

did you use thee pitfile came with odin in the all in one or did you select another pitfile if you used a differnt pitfile then comes with odin 1.00 that might be my issue
No no I dont use this on I use one I had on my PC.
I think the problem is a write protection as I can see when i connect the phone it displays a CDROM drive when I click on it, opens ok but I cant write anything on the phone.and every time I try to use ODIN to flash to stock it stays in DO NOT TURN OFF THE TARGET and nothing happens!
Any ideas on how to get back to stock firmware?
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.

Does Odin recognize the phone? If so, just flash from there.

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).
Followed ur directions still no go.You have any other ideas without a jig?Thanks

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
