hey guys... not that its anything threatening... as far as i know, but earlier i was testing some roms and i had to remove and mtd partition(not sure if this is related to issue) so i flashed fr-remove, than did superwipe and powered off device... my battery was getting low last time i seen it so i figured i connect usb and let it charge a little before rebooting to flash rom.. so after a while of charging i reboot the device into recovery (forgetting to disconnect usb) holding home+power, as the normal G1 screen booted up it also had a 'FASTBOOT USB' in red lettering on top left corner of screen..
it never went any further.. just stayed at G1 screen and had fastboot usb on the top corner.. so i pulled the battery disconnected the usb than rebooted to recovery and flashed rom..
everything is ok so far im not sure if it affected anything... but i figured i would mention it on here and maybe someone knows what happened or at least why... and possibly could tell me if something bad is going to happen later on down the road lol
Hay
I have had that a few times when i erroed a flash or forgot to flash something proply or at all lol... mine seems to be going fine still, so i wouldnt worry about it. (unless someone esle says its a big ehem fkup.. lol)
Ethy
haha yeah so far so good for me too lol thanks for reply, kinda makes me feel a little better knowing im not the only one i think its fine though

It seems no matter what I do, Odin gets stuck in the middle of flashing back to stock. Sometimes its at 20%, others its at 80 or 90%. It just stops and sits there (Ive let it sit for over 20 minutes in the same place). So I take out the battery and wait a minute and try it again. The next time it will stop in a different place and never finish.
What now?
Have you made sure your phone is in debug mode first, and that your sd card isn't mounted? This was happening to me when I rushed on flashing one night, and forgot to change it.
Well I cant boot the phone... and I have seen the solid yellow screen, and the solid blue screen now while trying to flash Odin.
There is no way for me to boot the phone and make sure if the phone is in debug mode.
Sorry, I'm not a developer or programmer, all I know is the dumb obvious stuff because I've messed it up a couple times myself. The only other dumb maybe not as obvious thing I can think of is trying another USB port on the computer, one directly off the motherboard. Sometimes USB hubs or alternate ports seem to have difficulty providing enough power for extended times during flashes.
Thanks guys. Somehow, it meraculiously just finally finished. I let it sit there at the 80% for over 30 minutes and then it finally just finished and rebooted.
Im scared to actually flash something else now lol

I can understand, but if you do want to try something else some time, just skip the flash to stock. It's really not necessary and, as you can see, can be dangerous.
Hmm...I was having the same problem using one-click on my laptop (non-one-click Odin worked fine). I tried my desktop and it finished successfully on the first try (both computers are running Windows 7 64-bit with the same drivers and same USB cable).
So, I'm sure there have been about 100000 thread with a title like this, but I did something incredibly stupid.
I was prepping my phone to flash the newest version of aosp's gingerbread mod by wiping pretty much the whole thing (boot,system,cache,data), and when I went to flash the zip (I put it in the sd card while in recovery) I wasn't seeing it in the list of files when I went to look for it in the "flash zip from sd" in clockwork recover 2.5.01. Well, when I was going to go to reboot recovery in the advanced menu, I accidentally had it do a normal reboot, and pulled the battery because I knew there was no rom for my phone to start up on. Now it doesn't turn on at all, no recovery no nothing. This is somewhat expected since the boot.img is gone now, and adb obviously can't see my phone. Is there anyway to save my phone, or am I totally screwed?
Any response is welcome, I'm kind of in a panic right now because I don't want my dad to find out
And please, no bashing, I realize I should have been more careful, but we can't exactly waltz into that time machine and redo it.
Same exact thing happened to me in your post. No recovery,bootloader, nothing. Just HTC screen at boot with no ROM loading.
When you say it won't turn on at all... did you try:
Pull battery
Replace battery
Press and HOLD the Volume Down button on the side of the phone
Press and release the POWER button (keep holding the Volume Down button)
This should get you into HBOOT / Fastboot... anything there?
Plug it into charger and let it sit, I had the same thing happen when flashing mine back to stock, right before I was shipping it to the buyer! I was freaked out, lol. It came back after a few minutes on charger though.
Man I thought the same thing happened to me. But try charging for forty minutes then mess with it

Can't get into recovery/dload mode Phone boots to white At&t screen makes few sounds
I have recently messed up my Captivate when I was trying to flash a ROM. My phone goes up to the white At&t sign and then makes a few sounds and stops. It also goes to the charging screen when plugged in the cpu when off. I have tried countless ways to get it to go into dl mode or even recovery mode. Ive tried: ADB vol up and down plus power with usb plugged in/battery put in, vol down usb plugged in/battery put in, vol up usb plugged in/battery put in, just vol up and down usb plugged in/battery put in, and nothing seems to be working. WITHOUT someone tellin me to use a jig can ANYBODY please help me find a way to do this. I have even pressed menu and volume down while the phone was in off charging state with green bar loading and the cpu made a sound and cpu said unrecognized device...from there I have tried to root my phone hoping it goes into recovery mod(which ive done to fix my phone before) also from there i have tried odin but no recognizance and I also have tried adb reboot download and adb reboot recovery. NOTHING WORKS...someone please HELP ME!
thanks in advance
What rom were you trying to flash?
why SO resistant to someone telling you to make/buy a jig? its a very easy thing to make and it will solve your no download mode issue in seconds. if nothing else will get you in download mode a jig will for sure (unless your usb port is broken) you can try and exhaust all other solutions but after you've ripped all your hair out build a jig.
its like trying to dig a ditch with a garden spade when you have access to a back hoe
Good point
stud u really make a goop point about it being easier to buy a jig than to pull ur hair out. Which if this kid really was pulling his hair out he shouldn't have been doing this at all. But, I am also having this same problem. I was using a CM7 build and it worked great until i tried to install the gapps. then it went crazy. It rebooted itself and went through the Cyanogen Mod first screen then would get stuck on the CM7 blue android on skateboard bootscreen. If I touched the screen at the bottom right it would vibrate for some reason. Shortly after realizing I needed a jig for it I decide to buy a new one cause at the time I didnt know if I could properly make one. So I've kept my first captivate still trying to find a non-jig method. I recently taught myself begginers adb on Windows XP OS but I am very much a noob except for rooting and flashing. Any help of yours would be great anytime. Thanks,
Matt

Shows that youve been a member since Dec-2010 so Im assuming that you really did try everything because you have read and read and read (riiiiiiight!?) and without telling us whether you tried to flash a Froyo or Gingerbread ROM I'd sugguest that you buy a JIG. Its really the best solution and the less time consuming if you cant think of anything else to try. You can order one or make your own...literally took about 30 minutes for me to get my phone to a place where i can work with it....a trip to the radioshack and making the JIG and back home.
If you are making requests on specifically NOT to tell you to do it a certain way then you may have to accept that you might have to solve this problem on your own, especially if you said that you tried everything except the one thing that you cant do (which is what we might suggest) and probably will fix your situation.
So i re-read after making my first post to this. I've bought my 5th Cap. now and have quite a bit more knowledge than before. So my question is. If I've completely bricked my 3rd cap... No battery charge screen and all will a jig still work for me to get into download? I was tryin to come back from cm7 but something went wrong.... I really don't need the extra phone but it would be nice to have my back up

If the screen doesnt turn on at all and there is no charge screen or recognition at all of usb than it is more likely then not hard bricked.

Thanks xijar then i will for sure purchase a jig. Worth a try anyway.

I've had a hunt around the forum and the net in general to look for solutions, but haven't come across the same issue.
The tab was running Overcome 4.10 just fine, but I decided I'd wipe everything in CWM and go for some ICS action instead. I used every wipe option.
In retrospect, I should have RTFM, but I used every wipe option in CWM.
After I did this I rebooted the tab and it went back to CWM. I decided I didn't want to do anything there and then, so I turned the tab off and came back to it later.
Hit the power button - no joy. Plugged in my charger cable and after a few seconds it came to life showing the battery charging screen, but it did not change from the first few seconds where there is a spinning/loading icon over the battery. I've left it plugged in for well over 4 hours in total now and still no joy - the battery screen comes on and goes off of it's own accord.
Now, I'm hoping I just have a dodgy charger cable and I'm going to resolder it just now while I wait for responses.
Any suggestions if that doesn't sort it out?
EDIT -
I've resoldered the cable and it's made no difference.
Also, a bit obvious, but I didn't mention that it will not go into download or recovery mode. The turning it on whilst touching the screen trick doesn't do anything either.
EDIT 2 -
I opened the tab up, disconnected the battery for a few minutes and reconnected. No difference.
adb, Kies and one-click unbrick don't see the tab. Win7 has seen the 2 sd card directories, but couldn't mount/access them. This isn't consistent, though.
Any ideas? I don't know what else I can do
Soft Bricked?My ***

Thanks for your reply and the links. Unfortunately, I've tried everything in the first thread with no luck.
I think I'll practice my soldering and try AdamOutler's UnbrickableMod.
I'm curious what exactly bricked it :-/ Wiping the battery stats with no ROM in place?
Oh well

Hmmm... this looks more like you messed up CWM. Normally, if one chooses to shut down his phone while in CWM, after reboot it gets back into CWM on auto. Try getting into CWM or download-mode by holding the buttons untill you see something happening on the screen.
If that fails, I guess you have a new goodlooking paperweight...
Any idea how CWM might have been messed up? No battery stats maybe confusing things? I find it strange that it did reboot into CWM after I wiped that stuff and then after being powered off it did not turn back on.
A mystery, but you're right - it is a very pretty paperweight

2 choices...
New battery.. Change recovery...
External charger... Charge battery... Change recovery...
Or
Borrow a battery...

Might not be good
If a charged battery does not bring it back to life, your phone might be toast. What you are describing is exactly the behavior I saw when my emmc chip went out on my first Vivid. JTAG would not talk to it either. No repair was possible short of changing the main board.
Hopefully, yours is just a charging issue. Good luck.
On the bright side, it might not have been anything you did. Mine died just as suddenly for no cause at all.
Alright
So I found out that its basically not fixable buuuut thank goodness it was time for an upgrade thanks for the help! long live the vivid! btw to everyone it was not a battery problem I had a spare battery that I tried anyways thanks thanks:highfive:
