[Q] HELP!!! - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm new to this site and it won't let me post in the development section. I flashed cyanogenmod on my captivate and now it's stuck in a reboot loop. I don't know what to do! i pulled the battery, didn't work. I tried to put it in download mode, didn't work. it goes to the at&t screen, then the cyanogen mod screen, then to the recovery screen. it does this forever. and i mean FOREVER, it only stops when i pull the battery, then i start it up and it does the same thing. PLEASE HELP!! how do i fix this? i need a phone!!

How are you trying to get into download mode?
At what point in the install did you start having problems

Can you go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache, then try to boot?
Or do you have any other roms in your card you can flash.
Does amonRA make a recovery for samsungs, or you guys gotta use CWM?
Edit: sorry, not sure what 'download mode' is. You mean you can't get into bootloader?
Edit2: sorry didn't know that. Know nothing about samsungs. Good luck buddy.
You guys can only use cm or miui?
Isn't there a rooted version if your stock rom in your subforum? Couldn't that fix the issue, if you could DL it to pc, then go to recovery, USB/Ms and move rom to SD card?

What did you wipe, and how?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I wiped from recovery wipe data and cache wipe dalvik cache and wipe sd ext.I hope so this is the meathod to wipe
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Yup, that should've done it.
Not sure what is going on, all I can suggest a factory reset, or revert to stock and start again...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
factory reset as in stock recovery and and stock rom?
That's about all I can suggest. You can back up before, and you can always root again...
Or wait for some other advice, I'm sure there's better ideas floating around, and honestly, I've never heard of this issue before...

Cm7 nightly question

I have cm7 on my phone, recently I've been trying to flash a nightly on my cappy and after the install "about phone" still shows the old mod. ROM manager also shows the old mod as my "current ROM"
I've tried reflashing, and even downloading onto my computer copying it to my card and trying to install through recovery and get stuck in bootloop. Ive deleted old mods from the download folder and Ive also tried different nightlies and have the same problem. Any help is appreciated

..and you've done the basic clearing your caches, data and dalvik? You may want to try a fac reset. That fixes a lot of problems sometimes
.. for the future you should post in the cm7 q&a's. Even if it is a nightly
Yeah, Ive done the wipes and caches. I guess I'll try fac reset. Thank you for the help

I know, my friends think I'm crazy. So I'm thinking I could flash back to stock and then start over? So, to do this I need to flash the stock Rom using Odin with repartitioning, correct? I'm assuming I can't use Odin jf6 one click because it doesn't repartition, or does it?

Yeah.. Odin one click JF6 does the repartition. I've flash back to stock a few times using that method and the last time being just a couple weeks ago. That is about your best bet. Odin back to stock.. get cwm and flash nightly. Its gotta stick then... you'd think

It called bootloop. Try to enter recovery mode by hold all physical button. Wipe data, clear dalvic cache then reboot. If the problem persist then try to reflash the ROM.

Please help with phone not booting

Hey guys. Been around for a while and have never encounted this problem. I went to restore back to stock firmware after running a custom rom.. both 4.3... I added the firmware to odin. It failed before it started and rebooted th phone. Figured out that the firmware I downloaded must of been corrupt/incompletly downloaded.. stuck on samsung boot logo.. tried to restore a fresh complete rom but still stuck on boot logo.. is there something I can do to fix it other than sen it in.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app
You don't mention recovery .
Usual would be to format sdcard system data cache boot to download mode and flash stock rom .
Yeah i have done all that

After install, try pulling the battery during boot then boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset/data wipe.
Has worked for some
