Hello all and thx in advance.
ATT Captivate batch 1010
I had Cognition 2.3 I think on my phone and it worked great however I wanted to try a different ROM so I attempted to restore my phone to stock using ODIN one click. I realized after that that I never disabled the voodoo lag fix or deleted my user data.
Now I am stuck in a boot loop that either shows the white ATT logo screen flashing every couple seconds or the phone off charge screen re starting every couple seconds.
I bought a USB Jig and it works great so I can get into D/L mode easily but I have tried flashing the stock firmware at least 6 times now using different machines, different ports, different versions of ODIN and I've searched around these forums and others for several hours trying to find a solution. It seems that I needed to erase my user data in recovery mode and removed the lag fix before I did this but it is what it is. I have tried to get to recovery mode to no avail. All I can get to is download mode.
Any ideas on what I should/can do?
any help will be greatly appreciated.

I think that you may need to use the Froyo Odin (JI6).

please help, i have the same problem, was flashing back to stock from a serendipit 5.12 so that i could get the 6.0 version... all went as planned until odin said "reset" which was my cue to unplug and that the process was complete.... i unplugged the phone and tried to reboot and now it does exactly as the first post described, at&t logo then black screen, then back to the at&t logo then black screen again... my computer doesnt recognize my phone none of the methods of getting to download screen will work... no matter how many times i pull the sd, sim, and batt, no matter the button combination i use or which order i use them in.... same result... i cant afford a new phone i need help, i will donate also... i knew this stuff was over my head, but "curiosity killed the cat" i guess...
I had the exact same problem. Try this method, it's the one that worked for me when all others failed... But remember to follow it EXACTLY.
1. Pull out the battery.
2. Hold Volume UP+DOWN (Don't let go of them until you see the download screen).
3. Stick in the USB (which is connected to the computer).
4. Put the battery back in.
If not, you might need to get a USB Jig.
That Froyo Odin link worked!
Thanks guys I flashed to Froyo and it worked!
I've since flashed clockwork recovery and gotten Serendipity 6.1
As far as getting into download mode I had to use one of the USB jigs.
I ordered one from the guy who does the rom reviews but you could make one as well.
On another note the new ROM seems to be discharging my battery really fast
Before I start investigating it as a problem I am going to charge it completely then let it discharge completely to calibrate it.
Thanks again guys

I just fixed mine last night, I had the exact same problem because of the exact same upgrade. What you need to do is get or make a usb jig. There's a couple resources around here for how to do it.
Here's a video showing how to make one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0
Once I got my phone into download mode, I used Darky's ROM Resurrection Edition ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940671 ) to restore my phone. Just scroll down to where it says "Files Needed" and download the Captivate version. Once you have that downloaded, use the jig to put your phone into download mode and follow the directions in the Darky's video (jump to about 2:30 into the video). Once I had my phone booting, I used clockwork to install Serendipity 6.
Hope that helps you as much as it helped me!!
went to radio shack, got all the stuff to make a jig and i was able to get my phone into download mode! now to try darko...... thanks everyone!
odin doesnt reconize phone
which odin3 are you using? 1.7? or the one click to stock?
you mentioned you had the bootloop problem before, so you should be using odin 1.7 with 2.2 stock.
open odin
get phone into download mode with your nice jig
unplug jig and plug in computer
box in odin should turn yellow.
And make sure you have the correct drivers installed. CRUCIAL.
Multiupload links not working

Have u tried the Odin or Heimdall One Clicks in the development stickied thread ??
Sent by XDA Premium App
Yep, tried the Odin one click - caught in a boot loop with the AT&T Logo. I have yet to try the Heimdall one.
UPDATE
Tried Odin and Heimdall One-Clicks - unsuccessful. I'm think I will need the stock Eclair firmware file with Odin and the pit file.

You ever get this to work? - I'm in a similar situation. all flashes 'work' but get stuck at ATT on boot. Not sure Eclair is an option or not since mine is a refurbished phone that started on 2.2

If one-clicks aren't working, you might need to grab the full version of Heimdall or Odin and flash a full package. Some of the newer phone builds don't like one-clicks.

Hi,
I have brick my Galaxy tab GSM after put CDMA rom on it. It wont start, but i can connect to ODIN.
But i can't flash with odin, i load the rom, but it do nothing after 10 minutes of upload to the tab, i have never done it, even when it was not bricked.
how fix it please ?
I'm certainly hoping for help, but also to serve as a warning...
I pulled a noob move and tried to install the Gingerbread 2.3.3 update. I was using Odin3 1.7 and everything SEEMED to go correctly. When I got to the point where I was supposed to wipe the cache and reset data, I got error messages saying "unable to mount /ext filesystem. Bizarre.
At any rate, I tried to flash back to both DJ30 and EA24. My Sprint Galaxy Tab is a brick now. I can still get into the download screen, so hopefully all is not lost. I've tried Odin 1.3, 1.7 and (I think) 1.83. I also found an EA24 flasher on one of the XDA forums but always get "Cannot open binary file!" It appears that it's looking for the .tar file to be in a specific location. I've tried c:\ c:\Program Files c:\Program Files (x86) -- nothing works.
If I had to make a guess (and again, noob move) I don't know how to completely wipe the partition clean and repartion, flash EA24, etc.
I've seen tons of commentary on non-Sprint Galaxy Tabs. Can anyone help with a US Sprint Galaxy Tab?
There is another EA24 flasher for Odin from the same thread as the "can't open binary" version. It worked for me... I wasn't bricked but had lost my camera function.
Failed...
This didn't work. I get the attached error.
Can you tell me which directory you installed this to, and, if you had any command-line arguments?
I got that same error that's why I used the Odin version I linked in my previous post. Download the zip file, read the text file instructions on how to flash the image and you should be good to go.
I did that...
I did that. It fails.
It gets to the "recovery.bin" file, and then fails. Give me a minute and I'll post a reply with the screen shot...
When I use ODIN3 1.7
This is what I get when I use Odin... It simply fails...
Hmm, I'm too much of a noob to know why it would fail.
Maybe you could post in the thread with the flasher and for more input.
I would but.. That post is now "suspended." The guy who wrote it has a Xoom now and couldn't care less about the Sprint Tab. Just my luck, right?
The thread is still open. You might be thinking of another thread.
I think you're right. I'm thinking of the Zypher thread.
At any rate, regardless of whatever firmware I try to flash, it either fails outright, or, it hangs at the Samsung Logo. *Nothing* seems to be working.
Defeated...
I have agreed to send in my Sprint Galaxy Tab.
I have failed.
XDA has failed.
Just sayin'.
Use the gui version of heimdall. Just launch heimdall, then put your tab in download mode and plug it into your pc. Once plugged in, launch the heimdall driver.exe and go to one of the drop down menus and click list all devices. You should see a gadget serial appear. Select it and force install the driver. Then load your pit file and every other file you can in the fields. You need to find the original stock package (usually a .tar or .md5), then extract the .rfs and and .bins in their correct location. And click start. For some reason cdma devices seem harder to flash than GSM. If after it runs, it still doesnt work, reload all the files again except the pit, boot.bin, sbl.bin. I had the same mounting error flashing a verizon fascinate, and i battled with it for a solid day and a half. If you can get into download mode then you are golden.
Dont give up.
For some reason i dont think odin like CDMA. It always fails me everytime.
If you download a .tar.md5 file, just rename it .tar and extract the contents. You need to google and download a .tar archieve utility (there are tons of free ones).

I have a Sprint CDMA Tab and Odin worked for me. I've also Heimdall with success. It seems results may vary depending on what combination of stuff is on the Tab.
Heimdall
I'm trying these now per your advice. They at least finish and I don't get the write errors when flashing using Heimdall. So far, the best that happens is I get to the Samsung Logo screen, and nothing -- no glowing blue, no startup sounds.
Interestingly enough, all of the Zypher stuff that was posted before (without modem, with Epic modem, etc) -- None of those ROMs had boot.bin or sbl.bin in them. So, it looks like all the DJ30 stuff I have can't really flash back to DJ30, correct?
If I repartitioned, wouldn't that stuff get blown away and need to be put back?
All failed...
I was able to get Heimdall up and running and seemed to successfully complete with multiple ROMs (DJ30, EA24, and the Gingerbread ROM floating around.) None successfully boot the Tab, however. I get to the Samsung screen, no glowing blue...
I definitely did a number on this! hahah. Oh well. Live and learn, I suppose.
I got my Galaxy back from Samsung... only took about 10 days but! I'm back in business! Woot!

Hi everyone!
I have been reading all the posts I can to see if there was anything similar to what has happened to me. So this is the issue. The phone model is Samsung Galaxy S I9000GT
Last night I flashed my phone to install CyanogenMod and did the following steps:
Got it into Download mode with the three buttons
installed the Samsung USB composite device driver
Ran zadig.exe of the Heimdall Suite
Launched Heimdall frontend
unzipped Hardcore SpeedMOD kernel
ran the zImage of the Hardcore SpeedMOD kernel on Heimdall frontend (it was supposed to show a blue bar transfer but it was the normal green one on win7) it went to 100% and rebooted. It was showing the normal boot loop screen and then I tried to get it onto recovery mode and it went nuts.
After this, the phone went soft-bricked with the pc (problem icon) cellphone icons, I am able to get it onto Download Mode but unable to put it on Recovery Mode, I would like to put it on CM7 if possible, the only thing the phone does now is to get on the soft-bricked screen and on Download Mode, I have tried pluging it onto different machines running ODIN, a win7 and win XP, both 32 bit and none of them is able to recognize it, it is recognized as Gadget Device on the win XP machine, on the win7 with kies it just loops on the connecting icon, on Heimdall it doesn't recognize it at all... any ideas of what to do?
Make sure Kies is off and dead (check task manager processes for all kies related). Then try Odin.
Try cleaning the USB ports (phone/computer cable) as sometimes when the device is almost recognized that helps.
Did you try to get into recovery before it had fully flashed (ie rebooted and then gotten all the way to the homescreen)? If you tried to go into recovery during the first boot sequence then I could see having issue.
That being said, if you can get into download mode you likely only have an issue with 1) Driver (I would remove and reinstall) 2)Ports/cables (Clean and then Clean again - really I helped someone this morning that cleaned once but still had issues and then cleaned again and got it done) 3)Kies is active when it shouldn't be (like most of the time IMHO).
Also try to remove the battery, go into recovery and then immediately connect to odin. Once in odin, I'd flash a complete rom with pit file (and make sure it has all the files or you'll get a mounting error). But the key is getting Odin or Heimdall to see the phone.

thank you very much! it is now recognizable on Odin!!!!
So I have the 512.pit file but I don't have the PDA, Modem, Bootloader, CSC files, do you know where can I get them? I have already downloaded the CM7 zip file

Samfirmware.com will have a stockfirmware that should have them (but make sure all the files that create the partitions are there if you re-pit - my stock firmware does not have db_data on samfirmware but its needed for flashing with a pit file) though they are usually all packed in one file for the PDA spot.
But stock is likely not what you want. Just flash darky anything and which will get you CWM recovery which is what you want for CM7 (which I had problem trying - write down you Imei and back up you efs folder...).

Hello!
So I have already installed about 3 firmwares succesfully to my phone, the problem is that none of them recognizes the SIM Card, therefore rendering it useless again, I have installed 2 9000T (latinamerica version) and the 9000B and 9000M just to check, currently on Eclair on the 9000T with no option for upgrading it through kies. I just want to go back to the old firmware but I can't get to the one that is the one for my region apparently correct. Does having the SIM card in while flashing it and such has any effect on it being unable to recognize it?
No sim shouldn't matter. Have you tried changing the csc so it's your region?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA Premium App
As you may see, I am total noob on this, how can I get the CSC file for my region or how can I change it?
Thank you very much
Okay, I think I *** up my galaxy s real good I think...Everything was peachy yesterday when I perfectly flashed cyanogenmod 9. Then I decided to be a retard and flash a glitch kernel incompatible with cm9. Naturally the phone was stuck in bootloop. Then I followed this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124391) tutorial to flash back to an official stock ROM with odin to hopefully start over. However odin fails everytime to complete the flash (it always gets stuck when flashing modem.bin) and I have to pull the battery out to start over. I now also have to force the phone into download mode by putting in the usb cable holding vol +/- followed by putting in the battery, the normal button combination doesn't work anymore.
So in short: flashed incompatible kernel with cm9, tried to odin a stock rom but odin freezes at the end for some reason.
Please help guys, time is running out because the battery isn't recognized anymore by the phone, so it doesn't charge.
Many thanks in advance.
I dont read the guide....
But do you have flashed with pit and re partition?

Yes, I did exactly what that guide said.
I will try one last resort, trying everything on windows xp instead of win7. *fingers crossed*
Don't think it's an issue with your OS, Odin is a very "simple" tool.
I recommend trying another firmware. Like a newer Gingerbread ROM. And be aware that there are different ROM's for different GalaxyS Model (like Vibrant I9000B)
Yep, you were right, the OS isn't the issue. Odin acted exactly the same. Will try a gingerbread ROM. Will I need a pit file?
Yes you need
Sent with my Galaxy S using Tapatalk
Well...I've already tried like seven ROM's, custom and official. Odin hangs on every single one of them. And always at the modem.bin file. Could it be that something in the phone where the modem.bin has to be is damaged or something?
Edit:
I fixed it! Thanks everyone!
@nicolas_cage, I am having the same problem, how did you fix it?
