[Q] My Captivate is dead after flashing Speed Mod!!!!

Does any one know how to solve this problem?
my phone was running the Cognition 4.2.1, and then I saw the CyanogenMod 7, which looked way cooler, then I follow the video from the link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978150
(maybe I did not restore to Android 2.1) and then I flashed the Speed mod and my phone was dead since that, it stayed on one screen when I tried to turn it on, 3 button mode to recovery did not work either. here is the picture that I took with the dead screen, has anyone seen this one before, plz let me know, I really appreciate your help.

Can you get into do mode?

Yeah, if you can get to download mode, you can flash back to stock using odin. There are a few ways to get to download mode. You can try holding vol up and vol down buttons while plugging the phone into your computer. If that doesn't work, there is a way to force boot into download using a simple and inexpenisve jig. Basically, you take three 100ohm resistors and wire them together. Then, you touch the leads to pin 4&5 of the micro usb connector. This should boot you into download mode, but I have never tested it. I got this information from here on xda, but I can't remember the exact post. Just search for captivate jig, and you should be able to find the topic covering these jigs. Also, the topic will give you much better instructions on how to make the jig. Hope you get unbricked!!

And for the future, there's a dedicated CM7 thread for Q&As. There's been a real increase in people failing the flashing process for CM7 these days, and it would be much better for people to have it in one thread (so others can learn from it as well).
But for your current issue, you will have to try and get it to Download Mode. If you can't, then you're in a bit of trouble I'm afraid.

looks like you will be learning how to make a jig, if none of the other ways to force it into download mode worked. Please know what you are doing before trying things or this is what happens. CM7 doesnt work with that kernel, I think there is only one that does work with it.

[Q] ICS 4.0 odin fail.

HI,
Well last night i tried updating my note to ICS 4.0.
Downloaded the 4.0 german update and started up and tried to flash it.
Then came the problem.
After about 3 minutes i get this message

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

And from there i am stuck.
hope someone could help me out!

It looks like the drivers for your phone are not installed. Under the fail box it should say Something like com 6 in yellow if you had the drivers installed and phone connected. Try installing the drivers for the phone again and when its connected to odin you should see a yellow box and you will be ready to flash then.

Install drivers throught Kies. Its one of options whn doing connection rroubleshooting. After reinstall reboot pc. For next steps keep kies closed. It looks also like you did not go into download mode.
Press volume button down, homekey and powerbutton at same time quickly after powering up device. May need couple of tries. Its tricky. Reconnect if not done so phone to pc.
Press volume up to confirm. Now you can flash do not disconnect phone, be patient and wait till device powers back up.

Aside that...
fired up PC Odin n load the "PDA" file, put ur phone in "Download" mode THEN u connect to ur PC....
most of the time ur PC will detect ur phone n install some more drivers other than the drivers u had updated previously

I think I bricked my Tab?

It is showing a small round mobile phone, 2 dots, a ! inside an orange triangle, 2 more dots, and a computer.
This is the first time I'm seeing this screen.
Edit: Just to give some insight as to what I was doing...
I was using a SGT7 build of CM9, and I noticed USB Tethering wasn't working (native nor Wired Tether 1.4 worked). I had to run to a friends house for the night real fast, so I figured I'd just go back to Stock firmware and use that for a few hours just so my desktop could get Internet.
I am also using Windows 8 Release Preview. Odin could see my device fine, but upon pressing Start to start the flashing process, it did nothing (I'm guessing Odin or Samsung's drivers don't work well on W8RP). No progress was made on either Odin or my tab for about 5 minutes. Since nothing was done, I figured I could close Odin, and restart my Tab. Now I only get this screen:
{

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I immediately went to the "How To Unbrick Your Galaxy Tab!" thread, but didn't find mention of the screen I described in this post, and then I made this post in panic.
When I went back to Windows 7, Odin was able to reflash my tab successfully, and USB Tethering was working fine. So perhaps Windows 8 has some weird incompatibility with Samsung Drivers? In any case, this might serve as a warning to anyone trying to use Odin in Windows 8.

I think it was mentioned in a few threads.
Many confirmed that it is another download mode.
You just have to make sure it is fully charged, and keep trying Odin restocking. It will go through.
(I never experienced it myself)
Edit: many reference, just search in here fore "phone exclamation pc"

Yea it would seem it's another download mode. I was able to flash with Odin just fine in Windows 7, so all is well again

i have said this in many threads. this is the result of faulty flashing. just use the latest version of odin
please thank me if you found this helpful

[SOLVED][Q]Odin will not go beyond SetupConnect. How can I fix this?

Background:
Captivate was running SlimICS 4.1. I had trouble connecting to the PC and ramdom widgets crashing. Decide to give Milestone 6 a try while I wait for JB. I flashed Glitch 20120520.1522 before I flashed M6 (to avoid Status 7 error), then realized that kernel had TWRP, Rom installation freezes. Restarted, stuck on Glitch splash screen.
Troubleshooting so far:
Odinf Oneclick and Odin 3 both show yellow in fort box.Tried flashing Speedmod kernel, so I could flash custom ROM. OidnOneClick or Odin3 do not get beyond SetupConnection. Heimdall on Ubuntu also rcognizes the phone, but does not get beyong loading kernel. Now phone is in Phone /!\PC screen, but the problems persist. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing drivers, from all different choices (Samsung, KIES, AIO Toolkit. Nothing seems to work.
I have been up for almost 26 hours. I hope someone finds a solution and shares it with me. I am sure I'm missing something,due to my lack of sleep.
Please help me.
Edit: Looking over my post, I can tell it's difficult to even tell that my problem is. I apologize, I was falling asleep at the keyboard last night. I took a screen shot of my problem with Odin.
Odin does not go beyond SetupConnection and just hangs there indefinately. Has anyone had this problem before? How did you solve it?

See the Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help Stickied Thread in the General Forum.

I have solved the problem. I uninstalled all drivers, ran CCCleaner, and used Ubuntu to flash Official KB2 by AdamOutler. I guess that I was so tired last night and desperate (I was falling asleep at my desk while trying to restore the phone) that I was not going through all the motions. Anyway, thanks a lot for the help 4-2ndtwin. Haven't seen much from you since the Illuminance days. Hope everything is well!

Yep...Still around...try to lend a helping hand when i can...
Glad u got it going !

Flashingproblems with CMW

Hey guys,
Today i bought the SGS 1 from a friend just for flashing and fooling around a bit (i am not a developer i just enjoy flashing and trying different ROMs and also beeing able to give feedback )
So my primary phone is a htc vision (desire z) and there i only flash with CMW
after some reading i rooted the SGS via z4root.apk cus he still was/is on 2.2
No problem with that, now i have superuser, all good and nice, then i googled what recovery app i can use on samsung devices, and it turned out that i can use my beloved CMW. after 2min i had it installed and the recovery thing flashed and now i wanted to reboot into recovery mode and here is where i have my problem.
I can't choose a zip file
After searching here on xda a bit i couln't find any similar problem so i started this thread
My CMW looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The phone specs are:
Firmware-Version: 2.2
Kernel-Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Buildnumber: FROYO.XWJPA
I hope someone could help me

//EDIT: so i did some research and some trial and error
And it all comes down to one main problem:
My pc wont recognise the sgs, neither as a mount of sdcard (usb debugging) nor with kies or odin
Any idea why? I tried two different cables and still nothing works
Kinda despair here :/

If you have installed drivers, try different usb ports.

Tried it and didn't work :/
My PC doesnt recognise it, also when on debugging (as said) but it somehow recognises that some usb device is connected (the icon for safe-remove on the right bottom pops up)
Could it be that i only got the usb cable from my htc, cus the original usb cable is still at my friend's place.

Could fix it
Reason why it wasnt recognized was because it was rooted
Opend the z4root app again, did unroot it and booom, it was recognized
