Build 1010 Will Not Go Into DL Mode!!!

Few days ago I rooted and put Serendipity 2.0 on my Build 1010 with no problems.
I want to try Cognition 3.01.
So I followed the SAME method used in the MobileTechVideos and I cannot figure out how to get it into download mode
I have tried the 3 button method several times and it just takes me to the battery charging icon.
------
Would I be able to just pull up Odin3 (I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0) .exe as administrator, plug in USB, turn on phone, and go to DL mode through the phone via that way? Would it recognize it on my computer so I can just go back to stock and do the entire process over again for a ROM?
Or is this easier: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439

Would going to download manager through my phone while having Odin3 pulled up on the computer and my USB of course plugged in, work???
Please, someone, anyone!!! Wanting to try a new ROM so bad!!!

I would flash back to stock and start fresh

Have you used odin before?
I can get you into download mode and going with odin if your phone is working and recognized by your computer but with your build you don't want to use the odin you linked I am pretty sure.

That's what I'm trying to do!!! I just need to get into download mode first. My phone is not bricked or anything; it's working great. I just need to get into download mode so I go back to stock and put a new ROM on!!!
I think it's because of my build, 1010.
Can anyone confirm C3POs (Odin3) method works?

You would probably end up with a brick.
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36
And, BTW, there is no need to flash stock before flashing Cognition, but it's still good to find a reliable way in case you ever have a real need to do so. Also, I'm pretty sure Cognition still includes and sbl.bin that will fix your button combos (that's not normally a good thing, but in your case it is).

Not everyone. It's apparently mainly confined to the Captivate forums and not universally recommended even here (Darky's instructions say nothing about it, for example). There is no benefit to doing so, believe it or not. Of course I don't care how anyone does it. It's up to you. If you tell people it's safer, however, you're misinforming people based on something that got started months ago and just became the status quo.

I believe this is what im looking for. I couldn't find the pit nor tar files any where. Im a vibrant owner so not to familiar with the files. Thanks. Will let you know.

Well bottom line, I think the easiest method for me to get into download mode every time I want to root/flash is by using the 99 cent jig. Thanks everyone for there info.

So I got into download mode by installing a 3buttonfix.zip via CWM.
I used Odin3 exactly like your supposed to. Went to stock, master cleared. Everything passed and completed.
My phone is now back to stock but still showing all files on my SD card. I even tried a factory reset and it still shows them.
Any ideas?

Blah, still no one?

This is the code you can enter in the dialer to wipe the phone internal memory. Does not ask for confirmation so make sure you have already done a backup of what you want.

Outstanding. It worked and did actually delete everything on my SD card. It's odd how Master Clear and factory reset through the phone did not but this way did. Build 1010 is bipolar.
Appreciate all the help everyone!

[Q] Brick

I am wondering how easy it is to brick my Captivate. Also, how easy is it to brick the phone, with the only solution being to use a JIG?
Is the only way to brick if you do something stupid? If you follow all instructions (flash to stock, etc.) is it even possible to brick it? I've upgraded my phone to 2.2 using Kies; does the fact that I've upgraded once make it muc less likely to fail and brick later?
I'm wondering this because all the ROM makers must flash constantly, so I'm thinking there must be a way to avoid bricks.
Thank you!

Depends on your Captivate. In general, it's a bad idea to flash back to stock unless absolutely necessary. Bad Odin flashes are one of the biggest causes of bricked Captivates. Bad flashes through other methods (like CWM) usually leave you with boot problems, but working button combos for download mode. You should also check beforehand that your button combos work, since some Captivates are without them out of the box.
Also, wrong forum. This belongs in Q&A.

Can you buy it, or do you have to make it from components?

Flashing back to stock is only needed when you have to, but no you do not have to flash to stock every time you flash a rom, a bad odin flash is usually the main cause in a bricked phone.. But as long as you can get to recovery or download mode, then its not bricked, you can usually get something flashed either way

Do these "bad" flashes occur do to doing improper things, like pulling the cable mid-update, or forgetting to unlagfix before, or stuff like that? Or are they purely random?

Normally The bad flashes from odin are due to the fact the the phone being flashed did not have the 3 button combo by default. I personally have flashed ALOT and always odin and master clear before a new rom, the only time I bricked and needed a jig was when I had my old phone (got it replaced) that didnt have the 3 button and used the wrong odin.

Thanks! I'm gonna check if my Captivate has this 3 button recovery mode.
If it does, is the 3 button way just as effective as a JIG? And how effective is the 3 button and JIG at recovering from bricks (like I mean, how possible is it that they will not work)

you can buy jigs online people sell for 20$ or so...but it's actually very simple to make and so cheap as well so buying one is slightly pointless. also, i have flashed too many roms i've lost track, my phone shutdown in the middle of an odin, etc etc, and i always manage to get out of it so i wouldn't be concerned. having 3button enabled helps tho

I am guessing that you are concerned with bricking yours. You must be thinking about flashing a rom for the first time. I needed the jig yesterday for the first time. From what I understand, the jig method is almost a guarantee fir download mode, making the captivate nearly unbrickable. Can it be bricked... I am sure it can, but you are part of a community full of resources to keep you from doing so. You trepidation is not unique... I too was slow to flash my captivate. Now that I have, I have a phone that I love. I have been able to contribute to the community. And... I have a new found addiction.

I think I'll hold off doing my first flash until I can go out and get the parts for the jig, make and test it, so I can be sure nothing bad will happen

Same here...corrupted data is corrupted data..and will cause problems...no matter how it gets loaded ...I've have been using Odin since I came to the Captivate..and is the only way I have been able to actually enjoy a new rom..A new rom...a fresh install..less problems for me.

A question about download mode:
I want to test if my captivate can get into download mode by the 3-button combo. However, I don't have any zips to update or anything to download or anything like that.
How do I enter download mode and then exit without making any modifications?
I thought I could just power the phone off, but in big letters it says "Do not power off target" (in videos I've watched).

You don't need anything to flash to get into DL mode
Just follow the instructions as it says and if it comes up you can just reboot the phone. Although you have to pull the battery. Although I've heard that holding just the Vol Up and Power for 10 secs also works. I've never tried it though

Depends on a lot of factors. It could be that your Captivate doesn't support flashing back to earlier than JH2 (JF6 one-click will brick), that your Captivate is already missing button combos (requires C3P0LOL's fixed Odin or AT&T's OTA JH7 update), a bad USB cable, problems with Windows, using the wrong USB port, etc. (all on top of user error). Lagfix won't affect Odin flashes.

I wouldn't say they are random. They are probably mostly caused by user error or some fault in the USB chain (port, cable, driver interactions). Whatever the root cause, from what I can see almost all bricks/semibricks are the result of using odin (I include cases such as where a cwm flash results in a boot loop and the user can recover because he used one-click and has no button combos).

[Q] Will the real ODIN please stand up?

I see several different versions of ODIN being mentioned in the forum and I'm wondering which is the gold standard and/or the most up to date stable version for use on the Captivate.
Here is what I've seen that confuses me:
- References to ODIN one-click and non one-click
- Versions 1.0 all the way up to 3.0
- Filenames such as ODIN.exe and I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.zip
Can anyone assist in clearing up the confusion?

I agree it gets confusing. I can tell you that I use I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 to flash my captivate back to stock before loading a ROM. That version makes my captivate just like it was when I first received it. It is the One-Click 1.0. The only thing I want it for is to wipe back to stock before loading a ROM and it works so I just have stuck with that one.

Odin should be used only until 10.09 (correct me if i am wrong on this date). But it should never be used on 10.10 or later builds as it tends to brick them. There are separate threads detailing how to get them to stock. Since u said urs is 10.08, u should be fine.

I have a 1010 captivate, and I used Odin last night following the instructions located here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36
It worked, took me back to stock so that I could flash Cog. 3.04. Hope that helps.

Good thread, I've been wondering about this myself. Three button download mode does not appear to work on my gf's phone but two button + usb does. Also I'm comfortable adb so adb reboot download is probably my best bet. Would I ever be so bricked that I wouldn't have access to adb?
Phone is a 1007, which version of ODIN do I need?

The other question I've seen asked often is,
"Will ODIN return MY phone to Stock ATT 2.1?"
People want to know if ODIN is going to return THEIR phone to the exact state and build it was in when purchased. I don't know the answer to this. From what I gather, ODIN is A stock 2.1 build gathered somewhere along the line, but not necessarily MY stock build.
Or, were all Captivate phones sold by ATT the same out of the box regardless of time or location of purchase? I know that there was a JH7 update, but is that the only thing that has changed on all Eclair builds for the Captivate or are other things different as well? What was the original source for ODIN? Was it a Samsung/ATT release of source code?

I also keep that I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.zip for when i want to flash back to stock. works great. If i ever screw anything up. Just go back in time. Also keep root folder near as well.

Yes, you could get to the point where you can't get it to fully boot and use adb. I can't get the three button or two button usb option to work, thus I haven't flashed any ROMs yet. Last thing I need is a $500 paperweight.

I can get the two button download mode to work. Is that a failsafe if I'm ever ALMOST totally bricked?

There is a version of Odin that fixes the 3 button recovery. It copies slightly different files to the phone.

no longer get in download or recover

I recieved a replacement captivate today. It was a 1011 build. Recovery and download worked fine. It was running 2.2.
I used the one click odin to flash to stock 2.1 and now I can no longer get in download mode or recovery with any key combo.
What can I do to fix this? Kinda freaked out, been flashing roms for months and months with zero issues so I am not real sure how to resolve this one.
To clarify, I can use adb to get into download or recovery I am sure and thats what I am going to do. Then flash the 3 button combo fix with Odin that C3P0LOL put together.
My question is I never had this on my 1007 build. What did I do wrong and what can I do to prevent this from every happening in the future? If the fix works and I avoid the one click odin, I should be good to go from now on right? Sucks. I tested everything before I flashed one click to 2.1 which is kinda stupid I guess.

what about holding vol up and down and inserting usb?
maybe your 3button was killed by the odin 1 click... but it still shouldve rebooted...

tried holding the vol buttons and hookin usb then insert batt? hope u get it goin... keep us posted...

Flashed back to stock using the loader I referenced earlier and now I have both download and recovery key combinations.
I am speculatiing that coming from 2.2 to 2.1 with the one click was a bad idea. All I had done was root the phone to that point. If anyone knows 100% what the deal was I would like to know. I went from 2.2 to 2.1 because I couldnt get clockwork to work and I read that was an issue on 2.2. I am sure there was a better way but thats what came to me.
I would guess that using the thread below to go back to stock from now on to not risk screwing up my 3 button combos would be the best idea, anyone?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995143
One question, if I want to go back to stock 2.2 as the phone came with is there a thread for that? I looked and so far didnt find it. Probably need to just keep looking but thought what the heck, would ask since I came this far.

Switch from ICS to GB rom

Hi guys
I recently bought a 2nd hand i897, the previous guy installed a icssgs on it.
Although it's running flawless and smooth.
But i decide to switch it back to custom gingerbread rom, because of the camera of it.
Ok the problem is, as far as i see my i897 has CWM installed (+ - & power combo works here). I can go in and out with ease. But my download mode is not working (Tried every methods in one of the contributor's post).
I seen in another post, people said because of the ICS rom stop me from getting download mode.
Later, I tried to install some custom GB roms like Legend 3.7, Apex 12 and also cm7 nightly. But they all failed.
Either stop at the boot screen or can't get passed CWM with some error messages.
My noob question is do i need the odin one click to get my i897 back to kk4, and do everything all over again, if I really want a GB rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843&page=23
I think i have a i897 GB bootloader (as I startup with AT&T white page, and I'm running on icssgs, correct me if i am wrong)
Thx

Yes you do need to do the Odin one click to get back to GB. Since the device has the ICS rom on it you already have the correct bootloaders.
I recommend the ki2 one click, it has boogs kernel with cwm baked in. Since this is a second hand phone you might also want to format the SD card to avoid any gremilns in the future.

Yeah just flash a one click to kk4, you shouldn't need bootloaders. Describe what you are doing to get in download mode

yes that would be the thread to get the one click from. Now when I mentioned formating the sd that is to prevent bugs from poping up later, it wont do anything for you now. one method I have used in the past for getting into dl mode is
1 open your odin/hemidal one click on your pc
2 remove phone battery
3 plug in usb to phone and pc
now heres where it kinda gets tricky
4 while holding in vol +and- replace battery
if Loyd is looking down upon you you'll get dl mode

...Maybe cause it's like 1:30 a.m. or I'm totally missin something ---- but who is "Loyd" ?? :/

i have something similar..tried to downgrade to GB from ICS...can't get into DL mode except with a jig. Now the problem is that the computer don't recognize the phone, keep getting "usb device not recognized", so that means Odin won't see the phone. Any suggestions ? TIA

Go Here and try removing the samsung captivate drivers >>>> http://www.petri.co.il/removing-old-drivers-from-vista-and-windows7.htm
Then Reinstall them

From my experience, it's probably your driver has problems.
At the very least, your computer detect your 'plug in' and you can get to download mode
So solving your usb driver is the key

The best way to get back to stock that i have found is KK4-SE-one click just search the forums for it youll have stock rooted gingerbread drivers are already supplied hope this helps
