[Q]Help stuck in a loop - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi i tried to flash CM7 and well now im stuck in a loop going through att screen galaxy s with cyanogen 7 under it then looks like it is updating a package and then just starts over at the att screen cant seem to get it into download
edit: just got it into CWM but dont know what to do now
edit2: now there is a little phone with a triangle and a computer on the other side of it
edit3: phone does not come up in adb i think
never mind flashed with odin

How did you manage to get into CWM? I am having the same problem.

If you can get it to connect with adb, and it should as long as the cyanogen boot screen or whatever boot ani is used. It will be very brief but you may have a moment to put it in recovery via adb, this is saying that the three button method does not work, you could always put it into download mode and flash from scratch

[Q] Help! Stuck in Boot Loop

Hey,
I need some help. I got an I9000M the other day and have been doing a lot of reading towards rooting and eventually SIM-unlocking the phone.
Currently, with the chainfire root method by installing that kernel through Odin i expected that I would have had a rooted phone.
However, the flashing process was completed successfully and after it was finished, I was supposed to let my phone reboot but its stuck at the black and white galaxy s screen.
What happened?
Perhaps I installed the wrong kernel?...anyways I have no clue. Please help so I can proceed towards my goal.
*Also if I just flash an original firmware will it start me back at where I was from the beginning? That way I can figure out which CF I should have used...
Just pull the battery, 3 button into download mode (Vol Down+Home+Power) and ODIN flash to stock.
Do a little reading and make sure you have the right version.
BUT BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THAT, pull the battery and see if it starts up. My phone always gets stuck on home screen after an Odin flash and have to battery pull to get it to load.
alright thanks, i flashed to stock and now i am going to try and figure out exactly which CF will work.

Phone stuck...

Hello!
I've got a little/big problem with my phone...
first of all im using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748984 instead of cwm.
And yesterday i tried to flash a new ROM. First all went pretty good, but the play store was bugged. So i did a new wipe and flashed again, but ofc it was stuck in the bootanimation, so i plugged out the battery... and now all that comes up is first the LG-logo, then the teamwin logo, then it's stuck showing the temwin logo... So i can't flash a new rom, i cant get into recovery mode and when i try to use smartflash on my pc the S/W upgrade wont appear while pressing vol down + pluggin the usb cable, instead the phone is black, the lg logo appears and then it's black again, and it repeats.
Any help or suggestions would be so nice of you!
never use that recovery method, always use CWM non touch version. i think you should nvflash
Use NVflash, me same one time!
Before using rhe nvflash method, try flashing CMW to your phone again. Go to Rusty's CMW thread in the Development section and download it from there.

Samsung logo boot loop, totally stuck

Hey guys, my phone got totally stuck on a Samsung logo (neverending loop).
Yesterday I let my bro play an Angry Birds on my phone. After a while I took my phone back and to my surprise it wasn't responding. Mobile was turned on (connected to the charger) but all I could see was a black screen. I tried restarting my phone by removing battery but it didn't help at all. I got stuck at Cyanogen Mod logo everytime. Since I haven't updated my firmware in a while I decided to intstall the newest version of CM (KitKat 4.4.4 from novafusion.pl) using Odin app. After a successful installation my phone still didn't boot up, I was getting stuck on a blue CM logo. After this I wanted to wipe my cache/dalvik cache but I wasn't able to get into recovery mode (getting stuck on a TeamWin screen). Reinstalling TWRP and installing ClockWork recovery didn't have any effect. I wiped my phone using .tar file found on this forums, tried reinstalling my ROM recovery many times, tried installing param file (don't even know what's that) and resetting three button combination using Benzonat0r's mod. None of these things seemed to have any impact. I'm still not able to get into recovery neither boot my phone up - Samsung logo bootloop. What am I supposed to do to unbrick my phone?
On a side note my knowledge about Android phones is tiny so please consider this. Also forgive me my poor grammar, not a native English speaker here.

Put your phone in download-mode and connect it to computer.
Hit [Start] when device is detected by Odin.
You will end up with a "La'Fleur" branded phone, but no worries!
Just go to download mode again and flash a custom recovery and after that a ROM of your choice.
The three button combo will still work!!
This is not my work, give my friend @tyson a thanks for that!
I tried installing stock recovery and ROM. After completed installation I finally managed to pass Samsung screen. I got to the something like Android installation screen and my phone suddenly shut down. Now it's totally bricked, I can't turn it on nor get into the download mode. Charging progress doesn't show up while phone is plugged in neither. Any help?

Hey dude, I wish I saw your reply earlier. If my phone wasn't bricked now I'd give it a shot.

Note 4 Wont Boot (Really need help with this one)

My dad dropped and cracked his Note 4. I need to boot it up to get the data off it.
For some reason it wont boot to recovery, it gives me the blue text but it just boot loops after. I cannot get it to boot to the OS either.
I can get to download mode, i already tried flashing the firmware through odin. After doing so, it goes to recovery to install the system update, but then freezes 1/4th the way through and boot loops again.
I cant flash a custom recovery because the FRP lock stops me.
The only thing i have access to without a problem is Download mode. Can anyone please help me get this thing booted so i can recover the data?
Thank you!

Extract Stock recovery from Stock roms

Sooo apparently my XZ2 doesnt have a recovery anymore. When I try to boot into recovery from ADB it cycles once and the next cycle it gets to the home screen. I havnt flashed phones in a while so Im a little rusty.
I came to this conclusion after trying to boot to TWRP but because I dont have a recovery anymore. it wouldnt do it. Anyone got any ideas?
