First off, I was already running Froyo on my captivate and while messing around with the build.prop file i accidentally i guess bricked my captivate. I doesnt start up. It hangs on the att boot logo and then restarts.
Now I know this might be a topic already discussed but ive searched all over these forums and cant seem to find an answer. Is there anyway to update the captivate to froyo 2.2 on a mac!!!

Bootcamp.
I did try Parallels but that failed when the phone rebooted into d/l mode. Apparently its not fully USB compliant..
okay im getting completely frantic right now, i tried to flash the newest cognition ROM from stock 2.1 rooted from recover and it all loaded fine but i kept getting force closes com.android.phone or something and then i was like okay ill just restore my last backup and did that but now it wont boot past the at&t world phone screen and i cant get into recovery. ive read other threads about this but theyre all different situations so i wanted help for my specific situation. i love all the devs help and hard work on this site and i hope my phone is not bricked because ive only had it for about 2 weeks. so please a fast response would be appreciated, i would like to have my phone fixed by tonight thanks in advance guys oh and also i am able to get into download mode i just dont know what that does.
no one knows?
nevermind everyone i got it using odin
Just reflash use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439 or you can search for odin one click by DG.
Odin. You will be fine. Just search and read. Be careful what you do and try your best to understand what you are doing before you panic.
You were getting fc on cog so instead of reading and re -flashing you panicked then flashed a 2. 1 back up over 2. 2 with voodoo lagfix active. :O it is not the end of the world. I do hope you have a PC and not a MAC. Odin will flash you back to stock but you will need to search and read. Good luck
Captivate
Cog 2.2
I think I'm in a similar boat... tried to flash back to JH7 after getting tired of froyo versions that I didn't like. Now I'm stuck at the AT&T screen and nothing works... no matter what button I hold while I power the phone on, I get nothing. Any advice?
Update: I think I may have something here... found a guide talking about JTAG stuff that suggested holding both volume buttons while plugging in the USB cable... seems to have gotten me to the "downloading..." screen. That's a plus.
Hi
Kies killed me when I was just trying to update to Froyo officially. Since then I used Odin 1 click and everything seems ok, except for the fact that its att now. I want to eventually get to official rogers 2.2 froyo with no gremlins lurking hidden in the file system. I downloaded the i896 rogers 2.2 rom. How can I install it so that my phone will be stock 2.2? Same boot loader, same rom, same everything as if the update had gone smoothly through kies. I want it to be rogers only.
Well, thanks to all for you help.
And a special thanks to the Kies programmers. I have bricked devices trying to install unofficial things before but I have never bricked a phone through official channels, Amazing work guys amazing.
Thanks to the xda community for again saving my rear
I think if you search there is a Odin for a stock rogers. I will have to look....

Hi,
more problems. Even though ODIN said it was sucessful it just went to the battery icon. Now the phone shows att logo for a second, reboots and does it again. Not even sure if I can get back to download mode! All this for a friggin official update!
ok I need to calm down. But this is really upsetting
I have a AIO rogers 3.0 tool kit, and I have a stock rogers rom. I do not however know how to get it onto my phone. The odin program just has start.
The rogers AIO program has back up to stock but always says cannot communicate with device.
Please help, I have no idea why things have been so messed up.
same happen to a friens of mine that wanted to flash unleashthebeast...and he changed his mine after and i odin one clicked and it did the same...luckily he was under 30 days...but only other option is a jig.

oh and if u can get into download mode your good....if not...a jig
Seriously?
The only way to recover this phone is to make some crazy usb solder jiggy?
My phone shows only ATT or if USB is plugged in, a battery icon. No button combo is working for DL mode, where as it was before.
Any ideas on how else I could get this phone into dl mode?
Thanks again
Chris
Looks like you and I have a similar issue. Subbing to thread for hope.
What about using the AIO toolkit to at least get a working ATT branded phone? I too used the AIO toolkit to flash a custom rom on my Rogers phone and yes, though I don't believe it was supposed to the AIO toolkit put the ATT stock on rather than Rogers stock. However, at least you'd have a working phone at that point. Unless you need to return your phone you can use it as is until you find a proper solution.
I know it's a stopgap solution but working improperly is better than not working at all.

ATT bootscreen problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11327700&postcount=209
in case some of those guys confused you, a jig only helps you if you cant get into download mode. you already flashed successfully after the brick, right? you dont need a jig. follow the instuctions above.
if you get AIO toolkit working (rogers edition) DONT USE A PIT FILE, DONT RE-PARTITION, (pit file is for partitioning). the rogers stock images dont have dbdata to work after repartition. this is what screwed me the other day., and i was forced to use ODIN1 Click. and now have the same ATT bootscreen as you.
as im in the same boat ive been researching and the above method wont work. its only for i9000 based roms. not the stock based roms like the att. and the fix replaces a file named logo_ATNT.jpg (AT&T)
this *fix* isnt too much of a *fix* and i have yet to come across a rogers flash that will replace this att crap.
So that means if we were to return our captivates for a refund, we're stuck with the split second AT&T boot logo. I wonder if they'll mind...
if your phone breaks to the point that you must return it, *MAKE SURE* its broken enough that they cant read/use the phone. Sticking it to the back of a speaker magnet for 10 minutes should do. ive heard of using a microwave fore a few seconds but it may do visible damage.
Hi I've tried searching and searching and I can't seem to find a one click download for UCKB1 like there is for JF6 or the leaked froyo.
Any ideas? I only ask because I'm trying to upgrade my friends phone using Kies Mini and it fails EVER single time. The phone freezes and boots into a white screen or a tan colored screen. However when I used the one click downloaders it works fine.
i dont think there is a one click for that... but you could use odin 1.7... its almost as simple to use
ok so i was running a devil kernel on jellybean 4.2 and for some strange reason the rom started acting funny and gave me a message saying i had to type in a password ti decrpyt storage even though i have no passwords on my samsung I897. So i decided to flash back to stock and start all over again from scratch using odin one click but in the middle of downloading my phone was disconnected and it gave me the bricked screen shortly after. Now i am unable to do anything on this phone ive tried pushing the volume buttons and taking the battery and sim card out while running odin 3 again trying to force it back into download but so far no progress has been made. If any one can help me it is much apprecitated.

Which Odin did you use? When already on JB, you should be using Odin KK4 without bootloaders to avoid hard bricks.
If your Odin was flashing bootloaders when it got interrupted, chances are that it's hard bricked and only JTAG service will bring it back. You can contact Josh at mobiletechvideos.com for it (of course there's a fee for the service).
You can try a jig before going through JTAG service (build or buy one), maybe you'll get lucky and be able to force download mode but know that if it got interrupted while flashing the BLs, only JTAG can bring it back.
i was afriad you might say that didnt think i would have to go that far to bring it back but thank you for the swifty reponse ill get back to you when my problem has updated
