I could use some help.

I used the Odin3 One Click to flash my phone, at first I had to pull the battery and try again, and when I did, it worked. The phone tried to boot up, but is now looping at the boot screen, it shows AT&T, blacks out, and back. I tried going into download mode with the two different key combinations since they worked before, but now either give me the grey battery charging screen when it's off and it's plugged in, or again on the AT&T screen.
I was running 2.2, I had upgrated from 2.1 with root access. it's the I897 Captivate, and it's just that I am now left at blinking screens of either AT&T or battery charging.

What is your build number?
Located under battery, white sticker off to the left. Something like 1008

I'll look into it, and post results.

Odin one click is jf6 stock. Builds 1010 and up are jh7. Many are not able to use the one click. This should work, just a bit more complicated

I have the firmware downloading, that will take awhile.
the problem I have is trying to get into download mode, I took out everything(SD,SIM,battery.) I leave the phone connected with to the USB cable, I hold down the volume keys and put the batter in.
before that used to get me into download mode, now it sends me to the grey battery, and that screen stays on for 5 seconds, blanks, and comes back.
is there other ways to get into download mode?

USB out. Only battery in. Hold volume up and down plug in usb

Well, guess that's my only choice.

i can't unlock it

Today I noticed that the power button does not work because when I can not unlock, but to remove and replace the battery automatically turns on what I'm thinking is that the power button got stuck
any idea?

Going to need alot more info. Where you running stock or custom rom?
Sent from my Captivate using XDA Premium App

im not running a rom, i stay in stock rom.
all started when I received a text message and read the message, when I wanted to block it and not work the power button. I have noticed that sometimes it works with a few strokes with my fingers but it shows me if I turn off the phone. I believe that the power button is stuck

Sounds like a warranty exchange

sometimes with few little strokes xD

when I put the battery automatically turns on, but if I keep pressing the 3 buttons combo I can enter recovery mode, but don't works power button in this mode =/

I'd try an clean around the button and if that works

I am not sure thus will do anything but if you can't get your phone running at all you can try to Odin flash stock to see if maybe it clears the problem. If you cab get into recovery then the power button works for something

yes that's the problem, i cannot get to enter to download mode Because the phone will automatically turn on

Try this. Take battery and sim out. Plug USB in. Hold volume up and down. Put battery in.

Inzombie, what exactly did you do? I have been having the same problem for quite some time...I was able to get into download mode using a program I found on the internet, and I flashed back to stock but the power button is still messed up, it doesn't work at all. What exactly did you do

i know this is an old topic but I have the same problem. I got this phone from a friend and now I cant use the power button. I have taken it apart twice now trying to fix it with no luck. I know it isnt the rom. The button is "stuck" but it still clicks. I know it is stuck because it will never turn off. Once battery is in it turns on, and for 3 button recovery, I only need to hold the vol rocker.

[Q] Bricked phone, Jig is not working

Ok so what happened was, I installed the Voodoo Lagfix + sound kernal for froyo and then I was having issues with the sound so I decided to just restore the phone back to stock. I put it into download mode via ADB, opened Odin and started it but somehow the cord got unplugged right when it says do not unplug. This has happened to me before so I have a jig that I bought online. It worked many times before but now when I take out the sim and sd and put in the jig with battery it just doesnt turn on. it says off and then if i hold the power by myself it boots into Phone..!..Computer. I cant do the 3 button download mode trick because I have flashed with odin before and it hasnt worked since then. What should I do? Should I just call Samsung and or att and just say my device got disconnected when updating?
EDIT :
I have already sent the phone to samsung, they said its going to take a total of 7 to 8 days for me to get my phone back. Thank you to everyone who helped

I read that if you remove the batt, put it back in then while holding just volume buttons in plug in the usb. Tried it and it went to dl mode for me. Hope this helps.

Put it on charging first, I think it isn't bricked, either the battery is 0% or it is some kind of coma where the tab is on but the screen is not waking up, just hold the power button until it turn on.

Mine too, all of a sudden. Pressing power button doesn't work, and battery was at 95%.
Don't know what to do...
Carefully crafted on my Galaxy Note, for your eyes only

On ur pc, start up odin. Plug your tab into ur pc. And press power +vol down for 5 to 10 seconds. See if odin can detect ur tab. If it detects ur tab then ur tab is not bricked yet.

Agree, it happen once with me. Odin is the solution.

Did you solve your problem? If you did how do you did it? My GT has the same problem.

Mine won't switch on either, but if I plug it in it tries to charge then stops, then tries to charge again and just keeps doing the same thing over and over.
Anyone solve their issue?

Anyone ever consider the following that perhaps the battery just kicked it? I mean we are talking about a nearly Four Year Old Product now....

I agree with you Man, batteries have a 4~6 Year Life Line.
but maybe the problem in this thread was just a OS crash due to recent app installation activity.
