[Q] Need Help Bad - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

K, SO i have been searching for the past two days. I have a Samsung SGH-1897, I installed a new rom and it wasn't what I hoped so I tried to go back and was unable. So I use odin but and here is the problem. So I put 19000 gingerbread 2.3 and didn't realize it wasn't for my phone till to late. Now I cant get into recovery or download mode, Also i cant find the stock firmware for the phone.
Hope this info will help and that i did everthing a newbie should do.
Thanks.

Button combo is different with gb boot loaders. Try volume up and usb or volume down and usb.

Power+vol down = download
power+vol up = recovery

In development, Odin 1 click by Designgears. Thats stock JF6. There are instructions in the op of the thread.

Please use more descriptive titles so that members who are considerate and actually try to use the search can find help. Your title is of no use to someone doing a search who may have the same issue.

you could make a jig and get it into download mode in a few seconds. costs almost nothing to make as well (3, 100k ohm resistors)

Does your phone power on at all?

[q] help im screwed

DID I JUST BRICK MY PHONE??
tried flashing the i9000 rom... got messed up sometime after flashing csc and pda.... now i can boot to recovery menu and get odin to recognize but im getting an error
copy_multi_carrier from: ATT
multicsc : can not acces to /system/csc/ATT/system/
copy_common_data
then it stalls.. my power button doesnt work to reboot system now...
Even though odin recognizes i hit start and nothing happens..
can anyone help.. i will donate and make it worth your time..
No you didn't brick your phone, you need to follow the I9000 guide in the stickied threads. You need to load a Captivate kernel before fully rebooting your phone.
First off get your phone back into download mode. Pull battery and usb cable, restart Odin, then follow this method to get you into download mode, put in battery, hold down both volume buttons, keep holding them and plug in the USB cable.
First when you flash a I9000 rom make sure you uncheck autoreboot on Odin.
When this done when you flash the Rom it will say Restet in Odin. At that time pull your battery and USB cable.
Restart Odin and load the Captivate kernel. Put you battery in, hold both volume buttons, keep them held and plug in the USB cable, should go into download mode. Start Odin, and it should be fine to let it autoreboot.
I missed something it will be in the stickied thread.

can you clear something up is Android System Recovery the same as download mode??
ok this thread can be deleted.. im a noob.. kjpdx throw me a link to donate.. i figured it out by myself but atleast you replied..
Two different modes. Download mode shows an Android holding a shovel and Recovery mode is where you would install update.zips.
Needs to be in Download mode when installing roms and kernels with Odin.

Hi:
I have the same problem of my Galaxy S. It is stuck in this screen saying
copy_multi_carrier from: ATT
multicsc : can not access to /system/csc/ATT/system/
etc. etc.
I boot it to the download mode as instruction, but the Kies always shows connecting device, and it never gets connected. The Odin shows no com port or device for me to load the firmware. Can anyone help? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks! I couldn't get download mode and this is the only thread online to help. I received this error when trying to install the voodoo lagfix while running cognition 2.2 beta 7. (for some reason, my cognition did not have the lagfix built in)

That reason is that voodoo doesn't work with 2.2
For the sake of your wallet, I would read the threads more carefully before flashing new roms if I were you. I'm not trying to be a ****, but this issue was addressed many times in the cognition thread. I'm all for learning from others on this forum after they make the mistakes

[Q] Download Mode Gone?? WTF

So I recently made a thread how adb wasn't working and that evolved into not being able to get into download mode. Now after not being able to get into download mode for days, I'm still stuck on cm7 with no way of getting back to stock. 3-button recovery won't work, the only way to get into recovery is adb reboot recovery. No button and cable methods work to get phone into download mode as well as adb reboot download. I even recently tried http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lojU5bvGz3c which is a makeshift usb jig. I successfully made it but it would only turn the phone on. WTF. I'm afraid to buy a real usb jig from online because it most likely will cause the same thing. What is there to do? I'm completely lost. The phone works, the rom is okay I just cannot get back to stock and get rid of cm7. There are lots of issues I need to fix and cannot because of this. Any ideas?????
EDIT: Now I'm completely f'ed. I tried flashing cm7 instead of MIUI again to try once more if I would have better luck on just cm7, but during flash in cwm the phone turned off because the battery compartment was loose and now the phone boots up and goes into recovery shows some code then turns off again
(This post just in case anyone missed the reason in the edit)
Reason: EDIT: FIXED! Don't know what happened. Rearranged resistors and tried again and finally got it

I just went back to cm7/miui and it happened again. Nothing to get into download mode is working. What's wrong with cm7 on my phone?

What's your process to get CM7/Miui installed?
On a side note, ADB won't connect to your device unless you have the Nexus S drivers installed on you computer when CM7/Miui is installed
When I was last on cm7 adb reboot download doesn't work.
Drivers installed
Just sayin
Sent from my unbrickable cappy *bam*
yeah, i distinctly remember the first CM7 build threads that came up here saying that adb reboot download DOES NOT work, and you DO need working 3 buttons or a jig
not sure why that was removed from the threads
A jig should work
You might be coming into contact with the resistors (I can't watch that youtube video from work--firewalled--so I don't know what the setup looks like). Any contact with the them will make it not work. Try insulating them more with some heavy packing tape.
I cut up my mini-usb plug from my car charger (didn't need it), and peeled off all the plastic so I could easily touch the correct two pins with the jig when the hacked up mini-usb is plugged in. Works like a charm. Sometimes if you aren't touching them just right, or if one end of the pin is touching the wrong point the power will come on.
Try harder with the jig, I guarantee you it will work (and you shouldn't have to buy one--it's too easy to do yourself for less than $2 and about 5 minutes).
Good luck!
Just a thought. Are you installing GB boot loaders before flashing CM7/Miui? If so, the way to get into Recovery/Download mode changes. Recovery is vol+/power, Download is Vol-/power.
Just thought I'd toss that out there...just in case

Thanks a ton for the info on GB i've been beating my head trying to get my Mesmerize flashed to a rooted EH09. The vol down button was teh trick i needed.
No download Mode after I897 GB Bootloaders on CM7
Hi there, i've got a question. If i can't get into download mode using the 3 button combination nor the Vol- + Power nor the connect+press buttons+insert baterry trick , do i have chance to get into download mode using the YIG? Thank you
I've lost the 3combo after installing the GB bootloaders with CM7 but the Odin Connection was lost on the SBL, The phone is not even Powering on anymore
If your phone has no signs of life at all, then sadly you are hard bricked...
But it can be fixed through jtag or the unbrickable mod.
So is there hope?

Yes, according to those that have done jtag or the unbrickable mod, these methods are successful. To get better info though, I would recommend going to those specific threads.

I don't think you need jtag (but you can look into it). If your phone is able to at least power on, you should be able to use a Jig to get it into download mode. That is what I did with mine when all the options fail.
good luck.

If the phone doesn't show any signs of life (wich it wont if he failed on sbl) Jtag or Unbrickable Mod would be your 2 best bet. (Id use Unbrickable mode since it will protect you from future issues.)
Sorry haven't checked this thread in a while. My process for going to cm7/miui is flashing stock eclair through odin one click, then rooting and installing cwm. From there I just flash the latest nightly or whatever it is. Nothing I'm doing seems to be wrong
The problem is that I should be able to get into download mode without having to use a jig every single time. 3 button combo should work, but it doesn't when using cm7/miui for some reason

[Q] What kind of brick would this be considered and steps to fix it

My Captivate is currently in a state where it can boot up and it reaches the Cognition boot screen and does nothing further. When trying to use the 2 button+usb cord method to enter download mode the phone loads the charging battery but the animation is frozen.
Would this be considered a soft or hard brick? I'm not familiar with the factors that constitute the differences between the two. Is is a soft brick because the phone can still turn on or is it a hard brick because download mode is unreachable?
I was a user of Cognition 5 v1.00 but as support of the rom by the developer seemed to waiver I felt myself looking for a new GB Rom for my phone. I first flashed Cognition 4.5.3 onto my phone in order to have a stable Rom on my phone until I could decide upon the GB Rom I wanted to try. I decided to flash CM7 and began following the steps outlined in the thread. I formatted my system, data, and cache partitions but upon reboot I reached the point where I am currently.
I have not yet tried the jig as I do not have it on hand at my school apartment. Button combos, the usb cord, and the one click unbrick have not solved the problem and I would like to know if their are any other methods I could use to enter download mode until I am able to procure my jig and try that method.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Soft Bricked
You are whats considered soft bricked. Id recommend pulling out battery, SIM and SD. Open odin with with admin rights. Plug your phone to the computer, press volume up and down and insert battery. If that doesn't work then I would suggest making/buying a jig and flash back to stock (eclair, froyo or GB). As to how to get CM7 to work I can't offer any help since i haven't used it in a while and flashing method changed. I can recommend Atomic Fusion, KF1 based and very nice (after u theme it)
Clay
+1 I agree with prbassplayer. You have to get into dl mode and if none of the key combos work, then a jig is probably the only way. I use one and it works great in exactly the situation you seem to be in.
edit: Sorry for the double post, forget this and read next. :-/
Clay?
+1 I agree with prbassplayer. You have to get into dl mode and if none of the button combos work for you then the jig may be you're only option. I use it and it works great in exactly the same situation you seem to be in.
You might have crossed up some files and such from going back and forth between GB and Eclair. So need to flash back to stock and start over with fresh install.
If you're still interested in CM7, after rooting, you can install Rom Manager and follow the install process in the CM7 OP or check out their website, it'll walk you thru the whole thing.
Hope this helps

Thank you for the input. At this point it seems that the jig is the only option as I've already tried the usb cord volume up and down process to no avail. I already own a jig, I just need to find a way to my parents house to go grab it.
They aren't hard to make to be honest and if u have a micro usb cable u don't care for it only cost w/e resistors cost for you there.
Using the SDK to use adb commands to get into download mode isn't an option as mentioned in this thread here?

If you've already installed the GB bootloaders, the button combination has changed. I believe it is just volume down-power for gingerbread. Try that or volume up-power then release once the logo starts to see if that gets you into download or recovery.

No on Cog it is not. You can use the 3 button method just fine.
FYI GB bootloaders are not designed for CM7. CM7 used Froyo based bootloaders for its roms.

[Q] Help! I don't know what I did to my phone! Can anybody help me?

I've been browsing for a while all over google and this site and still can't find anything that can help me so I'm asking.
I'm a basic Captivate user with no experience with flashing and rooting, but I saw Serendipity7 and thought the instructions were simple enough to follow on the weebly site. I downloaded the ROM files and the Installation files and extracted them. I followed the instructions perfectly by installing the drivers for my phone, opening Odin3 1.7, selecting the PDA, PHONE, CSC and PIT files then put my phone in download mode. I waited for the ID:COM to pop up then hit start. The blue bar on my phone and the one in Odin started working for about 30 seconds to a minute, not even the first box was done, then my phones screen turned straight blue, and Odin3 said it failed. The popup in the corner of the computer screen then said that my phone is no recognized for some reason.
Now my phone opens to the boot screen that says
"GALAXY S
gt-i9000
SAMSUNG"
and it just sits there. I can't get into download mode, and when I plug it to charge the screen with the battery level freezes and sits there.
Can somebody help me? I am a serious noob here that assumed simple directions were easy to follow (who knew they weren't?).
Thanks a million
Looks like Odin failed(again) you need to try to get into download mode again. Might need a jig.don't ask me about the jig tho cause i never had to use one. And I got mine when it came out.

You have I9000 bootloaders pull the battery reinsert and download mode should be volume down and power no usb cable insertion needed...
Yea you're definitely gonna be able to fix that quickly. Redo flash get into download mode either holding down volume down and inserting usb or hold down and hit power.

Thanks everyone who helped out, one thing tho...
None of the key combos are working for me so I'm just gonna us the jig fix to get into download. I know I need to use a 300k ohm resistor but does it matter if I use a 1%, 2% or a 5% resistor?

Hello
Thankyou for the reply
I was able to get the phone to "Downloading mode" but its not working from there
I tried the links you pointed out and phone seems to be still stuck
When i boot my phone normally, i still have "mobile .. Exclamation .. PC " icon

But im not able to recover the phone from that state

thanks again
I took mine up to CyanogenMod 10.2, which is JellyBean 4.3.
Since then I have reflashed it with GamerzRom v4, based on CyanogenMod 10.1 - JellyBean 4.2.2. It's thread is here.
I am using my Captivate as a media player and Sports App/Activity tracker. In fact I have disabled much that came with the ROM, an act to pare down what is running on it. I haven't tried any of the KitKat or Lollipop ports available in the forum. Recommending any of them would be pure guesswork on my part. The best I can do is suggest reading a portion of the threads for the ROMs available, being clear about what you expect your phone to do, and try the best fit. There is no reason you couldn't try several.
Thank you fro the reply
how did you get into recovery mode?
I tried pressing volume up/down and power button and all i see is att logo
Go into download mode and use odin one click to flash stock Rom.
There are many ways to boot into download mode, its different from recovery mode in case you bricked your phone and you're not able to access the recovery you could try going into dl mode and using a computer and a USB cable to fix it. I will post a tutorial link.

Before you started all of this were you on GingerBread bootloaders?
If you were not on GB bootloaders, did you flash them when you used the Odin/Heimdall One-Click?
At this point I am thinking you should have a stock recovery on your phone. Even so, you should still be able to get into Recovery Mode, either stock or custom, with one of the listed methods. I am almost at the point of suggesting you reflash the Odin One-Click.

Thank you for the info

Suddenly, Odin cannot recognise the phone in Downlaod mode
It does recognise when fone boots up but not in download mode

Before you flash more with bootloaders and modems I would suggest using the Phone Info *Samsung* app to verify what is on the phone. It is free in the Play Store, the dev is vndnguyen. I don't actually think there would be a problem one way or the other, but it's always good to know and this way you flash the correct kernel.
