[Q] wont go into dl mode loops at att screen - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

cappy wont go into dl mode and 3 button combo wont work. it just loops at att screen. cant flash to stock with odin. nothing works. i ordered a jig. is it my only hope now or should i call att and have them get me a new one?

jig will work.... how did you get to this point? odin one click could cause a bootloop for later build phones if thats what happened use this package when your jig arrives

thanks studacris. man your a beast. you help A LOT of people on here. thankyou for all your help
edit: it was a later phone and i forgot to look. used one click to stock 2.1 and it looped at att screen. bummer.
another edit: oh forgot to ask. is there another way i can fix it without a jig?

did just what you said but now im getting kernel panic. what should i do?

umm...can you still get in download mode? try it again could judt be a bad flash...
or you can flash a froyo kernel(like speedmod) in odin and then flash a custom rom with its baked in cwm...just note: doing this will cause a bootloop from where you are now, so flash the kernel, after that boot into recovery with the 3 button combo, mount and transfer a froyo rom onto the sdcard and flash that.

flashed the kernel but the 3 button wont work to get in recovery. omg i hope this thing isnt totally bricked. its my brother in laws phone.

so...you have speedmod installed and the button combo isnt working. its bootlooping im guessing now right? which means its not bricked. anything other than completely unresponsive to anything is not a brick.
did you try just reflashing the stock rom agin at this point, or will it not go into download mode either? if it wont then its jig time, but its seriously an elementary school electronics science class project...or under 10 us dollars if you absolutly cant get your homemade one to work.

got my jig and have to use it to go into dl mode. installed speedmod with odin and when i do that the 3 button wont work. tried stock rom from cezars thread and 1click but it just keeps looping. i dont know what to do and again thanks for all your help.

hmmm....2 ideas then. try and flash a rogers stock rom, since i assume you are wanting to flash a rom on top of stock anyway.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133
and then use this to change the boot splash to one of your choosing.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944353 (scroll down to trusselo's post with the links)
or as another option try gingerbread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045734&highlight=tut
only try this if none of the rogers roms work, as you will need to use odin one click to restore the stock bootloaders and we know that phone doesnt like one click...

Edit: Didn't read that all the way through, my comment is now moot.

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
That happened to me...kind of like a snow screen but multi colored???
The problem was that the kernel was not compatible with the rom.
I was able to get mine into DL mode with a jig I made and re flashed a verified compatible kernel and all was well.
Its not bricked you just need to boot into download mode and use odin one click back to stock or flash the right kernel

I had this happen last month also, it was a bad flash going from Stock 2.2 to Continuum I think. Culprit was a cheap cable, so look out for that next time. Built a jig from the connector of the cable and all was well in Cappy-land.

You are not bricked.
If you can't get into download mode via buttons, build the jig.
it's really easier then it looks (it looked intimidating at first).
And once you do it successfully you will feel better about yourself.
it may take a few tries specially if you don't follow the instructions correctly

[Q] Ahhh!! I think i phucked my cappy!!! HELP!

Tried all day using the search tool but couldnt find anything like this.
Tried to install continuum 6.1 on my cappy from a previous froyo build. Odin said pass on the kernel but now my phone boots to the att screen, then a fuzzy, static-like screen then promptly reboots to do it all over again. I can get into download mode but cant boot the phone normaly. Help would be appreciated. Thanks for helping a noob guys.

If you can get to download mode, you're not out of luck. Go to the ODIN3 One-click and you should be able to get yourself back to a stock state where you can start clean.
Quick warning - if the rom you were trying to flash had the GB bootloaders, be extremely careful. The one-click above will overwrite the bootloaders, and if something comes unplugged during that time, you will be in need of JTAG service.

Very true. I've seen several people use the wrong one, and the naming convention of ODIN3 and ODIN 3-Button doesn't really help that.

[Q] Captivate Bricked after Odin One Click

Hello. I have searched the forums and have not really found out an answer to my question. Earlier in the week I tried installing Andromeda with an ursa minor kernal I believe? (I was following a tut on youtube) I succesfully got ursa minor on my phone but the tutorial failed to mention I had to put Andromeda on the internal sd card to flash it. (first time trying to flash a rom so big noob). I decided to go back to stock and retry using Odin One Click. Odin bricked my phone because it is build number 1108 :/ I have an infinite ATT world phone boot loop because of this. I will be trying to make a jig/buying one soon to get back into download mode to fix this. I am not sure exactly what I am supposed to do once I am in download mode. I want to get back to stock. Obviously Odin One Click doesn't work because of my build number. What steps should I follow to go back to froyo 2.2 and to retry? Please help I am just not sure.

You'll have to use the full Odin program and grab a stock ROM from the development section. Once your in download flash stock ROM with through Odin or heimdall. I'm not next to my computer so I don't feel like fishing for links ..but should be fairly easy!

This is a Odin 1 click for KB1 2.2 stock. After that follow any roms instructions except if it says stock 2.1 ignore it and assume its stock 2.2

When I got my phone (about a two weeks ago) it came with 2.2 already on the phone. I don't need to get to 2.1 but I was thinking I'd go to 2.1 and then upgrade to 2.2 using att? If I can?
But why? If you got it as is and its stock its att's 2.2. At any rate If your so inclined on flashing 2.1 the one you mentioned thats using full Odin with pit should work. I suggest doing it if and only if you have that jig handy. Also keep in mind that .tar probably has bootloaders in it (wich is a risk you really dont need to take) just my 2 cents

Ive never used that rom. Follow their instructions and assume stock is 2.2 for you. Also The original link i sent you should have worked. Aperrantly mediafire.com is having issues tonight.
installing Andromeda3 doesnt require going back to stock, 2.2 or 2.1.
ODIN flash a custom CWM kernel
boot to recovery
flash rom
thats it

you are stuck in a boot loop right?
if you power your phone off, hold down both vol buttons and hold down the power button until the ATT screen comes up, let go, does it not go into recovery mode?
or
download mode:
power off, while holding both vol buttons, plug in usb. does that not work?

Get ursa minor back on your phone, then mount usb in mounts and storage, then copy the Andromeda3 zip to the drive. You were almost there.
Fish around in the usb port with 301kOhms of resistance from radio shack. You will hit pins 4 abd 5 and you will be in download mode.

Thanks. I tried putting the Andromeda on the phone by copying it over to the phone through the mounted sd card but it was all of a sudden "write protected" and showed up as a cd instead of an sd card. :/ I know I was real close but I made some mistakes along the way
also, when you say fish around the usb port. you mean inside the phone? Is there any danger of hitting the wrong pins and possibly hurting my phone? (say i hit pins 3 and 5 by mistake or something) or is it all pretty safe? I was going to try and attempt the jig method that only used the resistors but n oticed the pins were horrible small in the phone:/

It's not inside the phone... it's the USB port on the phone. One pin is on top and the other is on the bottom. If you don't have a JIG, that's the easy way to do it. There's no power on the USB port. This is a quick way to do it. You'll be fine. It's safe.

[Q] Fuzzy TV Screen after flashing wrong Kernel

I have an ATT Captivate that goes into a fuzzy screen after it goes from the initial White ATT World Phone screen. The wrong kernel was flashed on it after I mistakenly read a post trying to upgrade the the Apex rom. If anyone could be of any assistance. I can't get into Download Mode or Recovery mode... but it still turns on. I'll post screenshots if possible.

Ouch, so no download mode or recovery mode? Have you tried booting into download from ADB? if you don't know what adb is then don't worry about it. You might try seeing KIES recognizes it, if not, download any ODIN package and see if the ODIN recognizes it, if it does you're in luck! If not, then you might consider ADB: I'm no expert but I'm sure that when you have ADB there is a way to replace the Kernel Image for a proper one. Just out of curiosity, which kernel did you accidentally flash?
It has nothing to do with kernels, you have a GB ROM with Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders

The second problem is... it loops after the fuzzy screen. It only stays for 5-10 seconds then goes back to the ATT screen.
I do know what adb is and I've used it a lot especially with my girl's Mytouch 4g. It's just this was a big problem I haven't been able to crack.
I believe the kernel that was flashed was TalonDEV 0.5.1-RC1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18330648&postcount=5215
Edit: Odin sees it for the 5-10 seconds it's on... but since it's bootlooping... Odin doesn't have time to do anything further than file analysis.
2nd Edit: The battery status comes up when I plug the phone up when it's off... I know that probably doesn't help, but I figure I should give all the information I can.

Its the KERNEL.
If you have froyo bootloaders and a gingerbread ROM, it will still boot into the ROM and work. But on boot, the KERNEL splash screen is that distorted image in the OP, and also recovery is inaccessible because all you get is the distorted image. And as you should know, recovery is contained in the kernel.
If you're on froyo, and flash a gingerbread kernel, not only will you have the issues stated above, but you'll also likely be bootlooping, which is exactly the situation in the op.
OP.. You don't use Odin booted into Android, or in a bootloop. Its used in DOWNLOAD MODE ONLY.
Search for "usb download mode jig" you can make one, our buy one fur under 10 bucks. It'll boot it into dl mode in seconds.
Then go to the top of the development section, find a gingerbread package WITH bootloaders. flash that, THEN proceed with your original plan
Yes or flash gingerbread boot loaders and get recovery back, Then flash and appropriate kernel in cwm.
Hint: there is a button combination that you must preform to enable download mode it is posted several thousand times in the captivate section I would suggest go and find what it is.
Btw. The button combination happens to be posted in three or four of the stickies. And the forum rules say to read stickies before creating a thread or posting.

I've read them already. I told you I can't get into either mode. I know exactly what the 3 button combination and the download combination is for this phone and since the wrong kernel was flashed on it, it's apparently not working.

[Q] Stuck in boot loop

Hey everyone. I looked around the forums for a situation similar to mine, and didn't find a case exactly the same as mine, though it's possible I missed something. Basically, my little sister said her captivate was randomly shutting down lately, so I decided to root it for her. I rooted my own HTC Inspire this summer with no problems, so I figured I should be able to do it. The root went just fine, but when I tried to get into 3 button recovery mode, it wasn't working. I had read some stuff (obviously not well enough) and read somewhere to install the speedmod kernel. Now I'm stuck in a boot loop and can't get off of the Galaxy S/SGH-I897/SAMSUNG screen. I tried to go into download mode, but now I can't get into that mode either. Any ideas? I read on the forums about making a JIG, and I might have to end up doing that, but if I can avoid it, I'd like to. Thanks in advance.
Depending on what stock rom u were on before that flash of the speedmod kernel, it may not boot ur phone, because i believe it was froyo based. And if u got it from TRusselo's Guide thread it was there just so u could use it to reboot into cwm recovery and flash a dev rom. Have u tried holding both volume up and down & power buttons together until u see the at&t screen and then releasing the buttons ?? That should boot u into cwm. And from there u can flash a dev rom.
Download mode is--phone off, hold volume down, insert micro usb end of cable into phone, having already opened Odin or Heimdall and usb end of cable already connected to pc. Or of course, jig will do the trick for ya.
U could also try flashin an appropriate kernel for ur firmware u r on --- stock or dev'd. But u will need to still get into download or recovery for that. But i would think u should be able to boot up with no probs with a correct kernel.

I did manage to get it into download mode. I had the usb cord already connected to the phone when I was holding Volume-, so that was the problem with that. Buuuut, I can't get into CWM at all. Holding Volume+ and Volume- plus the power button loads it directly into the Samsung logo screen, then reboots the phone. Maybe I need to reinstall CWM?

I already went ahead and did that, and it's loading back to the regular start screen. Now I'm just trying to get CM10 on there for her, but according to their installation instructions, I need to be able to get into CWM recovery using the 3 button combo, which is where I'm currently stuck. According to one guide I'm reading right now, installing the corn kernel should fix the problem.

Yeah, still can't get into recovery. I turn off the phone, hold both volume buttons and the power button, but then it just stays at and keeps reloading the samsung loading screen (which now says i9000 instead of sgh-i897 like it did before). If I let go of the power button while on this screen, it progresses through the 3G/ATT screen and finally turns on the phone. Not sure what I need to do now. More research apparently.

Which KK4 did you flash? With the I897 bootloaders or I9000? And did you flash Corn kernel?
Getting in recovery can be tricky with the button combo. you could use ROM manager to get in recovery if you did flash Corn.

Well, I assumed it was the I897 one since the guide I had been using was for that version of the captivate, but I'm going to redownload one so I can be sure. The model number under phone info says "SAMSUNG-SGH-I897" and the kernel version is the "Cornv706" version.
Also, couldn't get into recovery with ROM manager either; it just got stuck at the Samsung screen.

In that case, reflash both stock KK4 and Corn Kernel. Seems like something went wrong.

That's exactly what I did. Finally managed to get to CWM recovery and install CM10 after that. Thanks for all the help Wolf!
