So after figuring out what was wrong after making this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193551
I got my Captivate back to stock using this method. Unfortunatly this removed my root and all that good stuff and now im back to bone stock AT&T.
Before i had a Rogers version of the stock firmware which was the easiest thing in the world to root and download 3rd party apps (like the Slideme market). Now for some reason this at&t firmware that i got from the link above is being difficult. I CAN'T get into download mode (using volume up + down with usb), I CAN'T get into recovery (using 3 button combo) so i'm kind of stuck here. I want to go back to cm7 so i can enable 3rd party apps and use what ive been using for the past month (even though ive had problems with it i much prefer it to stock).
Where do i start? I just figured out how to download 3rd party apps using the sideload method but that is quite time consuming compared to what im use to (just download straight from the browser or using QR codes, etc.)

there are TONS of other roms. ALL of them enable non market apps.
if youve been having trouble with CM7 why not pick a new one?

I was told somthing just went wrong with my install of cm7. I like the UI and almost everything about it just not the little issue. I might try out cognition.

The issue i have with this is that my phone wont go into download mode. It will just bring up the charging logo (using the volume up + down + usb method). The weird thing is, i use to be able to get into dowload mode but now i cant since i flashed it "back to stock" AT&T. I use to have rogers firmware.
Update: I just got the phone rooted. For some reason it just decided to root. Before it kept failing.
Have you tried a jig to get you into download mode? MobileTechVideos.com has jigs for sale with free shipping, I picked one up from there for $8, it arrived within 3 days. Once you get into download mode, here is the link for Canadian stock, it's using Heimdall not Odin.

Yea i figured out how to get into download mode via SDK tools but now im in a bigger mess than before... I think i may have bricked it. When i turn it on it goes to a screen that shows a phone .. caution .. computer.
Is it bricked? Should i buy a jig then flash back to stock? It happened when i tried to load a speedmod recovery onto the phone and odin3 froze then i unplugged the phone. Any ideas?
That's not a brick. Get back into download mode. Flash back to stock and make sure your cable is connected properly so you don’t have the same thing happen. I would suggest flashing one of the many custom Roms they will all give you root. I have had that screen before, as long as your phone shows anything means it's not bricked.

The issue is i cant get into download mode as the version of the at&t firmware i just flashed a few days ago doesent support the 3 button combo (i was trying to flash speedmod so i could download a zip of the 3 button fix). So is a jig my only option?

Without button combos, try this; remove battery, SIM card and external sd card, if you use one, replace battery and battery cover, run Odin as administrator, press and hold volume up and down at the same time and do not let go, do not touch the power button, now plug the usb cable from your pc to your phone, within seconds you should be in download mode and Odin should see your device. Also, I have successfully flashed with Odin from the phone + pc screen you are seeing. If neither method works you need a jig.
Warning; if you updated your bootloaders to GB do not under any circumstances flash the three button fix or you will definately hard brick your phone.

Just making sure you hadn't flashed bootloaders before flashing the three button fix, many have made that mistake.
Are you planning to flash a custom ROM? There is a Heimdall tool and package you can use if you're trying to flash back to stock after CM7.

i have tried all these methods, including a jig, but i cant get a computer to recognize that there is even a device attached, much less odin or anything else to recognize. (keis fails too). What now?
UPDATED!!
I had forgotten about posting here, and my problem has been resolved. So here it is... I tried everything that I could find within this forum, almost. I built my own jig with inferior radio shack components that would not activate download mode, though it would turn the phone on. I got wise, spent 8 dollars at ebay and purchased a JIG there. Instant download mode after 3 days (shipping). Reflashed with one click, updated w/ kies, made kernal changes and am now rockin my captivate. Thanks to those who assisted.

I cracked the screen on my last captivate, which had no problems getting into download mode. This phone will not go into download mode. I've tried all button combos, with all the same results. Either looping ATT logo, or the battery charge icon comes up.
Am I SOL? I'm hoping there's a fix for this, either now or coming out in the future. Im the meantime, should i be careful with my phone? I was planning on going from cognition 2.1.4 to 2.2 beta 5.5. Im a little nervous though, knowing i might brick my phone for good.
someone, please tell me there's a fix!!!
My first captivate had this problem.. I had to send it back to get a new one.
I am also interested in what the story is with phones with no 3 button recovery and no USB download modes.
I recently purchased one that has the defect. CAL Date is 17th August.
Currently debating if I should send it back for a refund or not. (I am in Australia, and the retailer has informed me that all new phones now have this defect due to it being a deliberate disabling by Samsung. So getting a working replacement from them is out of the question.
Does anyone have a newer Captivate than mine that had USB download mode and 3BR working out of the box?
I am guessing the odds of me finding one of the pre August models with 3BR and USB working are pretty low.
Will there ever be a permanent fix for this? (Not OTA update, not much good for people who are not on the AT&T network)
FYI, I bought my phone about a week or two ago via amazon wireless and it was a 7.11.2010 model.
It's a hardware issue. So if it's driving you crazy then try to exchange it, but the leaked froyo one-click odin patched it for me.

Really? You had no 3br before, never did AT&T OTA and got it when you installed Froyo with Odin?
Not sure if I want to use Odin to patch that though, lost one already

yes, yes, and yes
you could see if "adb reboot download" will get it into download mode.
Similar to the other poster, I've also heard that upgrading to 2.2 fixed the "no 3-button download mode" issue. Several people reported it.

would this mean that cog beta 5.5 would also fix the 3br issue, since it is built on top of the leaked build?

The odin version for sure. I don't know about the clockwork version.
I upgraded to cog 5.5 via ROM manager. I still can't get into download mode. Will it make any difference if i flash with odin? And how do i flash with Odin if i can't get into download mode?
If theres no way i could do this on my phone, is it really worth returning/trying to get a different one? If im just extra careful when i change roms, what are the chances of bricking my phone? Would there be any way to fix it after this happens?
My one and only Cappy could never get into dload or recovery mode at all. Rather than return it, I have found workarounds, but they are definitely risky!!
HOWEVER, tonight I have some interesting news... I have found a way to get into recovery mode like this:
1. Start from phone off, then press power+volume up + volume down, and hold.
2. Wait until the 4th AT&T screen comes on, then release the VOLUME buttons, but still hold power.
3. The phone should go into recovery mode.
I tested this several times and it worked every time!
Now I know this is not download mode, but it is a start for those of us who have trouble (or no) 3 button recovery. My point is, maybe there is a different "combo" that will work.... I'm just saying.
You should be able to get into recovery by simply holding vol up vol down and power until att splash screen comes up first time...
As for not getting into download mode using vol buttons and plugging in usb, ie having to use adb, flashing roms is risky as you may not be able to Odin back to a working phone if something hapoens

Yes I (and many others) know that vol up+voldn+pwr SHould work, but it doesn't for some of us. I just tried again to be sure.
Yes I know the workarounds are risky, read my post.
I was just saying that if I have found a way to get into recovery with an alternate method of the 3 button deal, then maybe there is an alternate method to get into download mode too.

Use adb to reboot into download or recovery. If you are rooted you can just type 'reboot download' into a terminal as well.
ROM manager flashes will not fix the 3br as they do not flash any bootloader blocks.(at least in the current releases)
Does the Odin Cog5.5 restore 3br or just the leaked Froyo?
i just bought my cappy a week back....i just rooted it....the 3 button combo is working for me....if u want i can write down any version or manufactoruing date u want to know....just tell me how to(im a noob)
Cog 5.5 didn't fix the 3 button problem for me.
My 3 button access was fixed when I went back to stock 2.1 via 1click odin and then requested the ATT OTA upgrade. It said failure, but my 3 button access worked after that.
After that I used Rom Manager to flash Cog 2.2(don't remember which beta)... lost 3 button access... not sure why. Most threads I've seen on that topic say it shouldn't do that, but it did.
So went back, redid it all, then flashed Cog 5.5 via Odin3... working like a champ now. Easy 3 button recovery and download where I had nada before.

I fought with mine all day yesterday trying every trick I found on the net. I finally just downloaded the SDK and did the "adb reboot download" thing and whammo...fixed.
I rooted my samsung captivate and installed the custom rom ginger clone. It wasn't increadably stable but it was ok. I wanted to try axura because apperantly it was very good, so i tried to use the odin 1-click thing and it seemed to work but then when it booted up it would get to the "AT&T world phone" thing and then it would go to a black screen for about 5 seconds then back to the world phone screen for about 20 min (actually the first time it turned on all the way was in the middle of class and I almost got it taken away) but it would eventually turn on. I have tried to get it into recovery/download mode but it won't work. I would like to know how to get my phone back to normal. Also when I go to update on settings or on kies mini it tells me i can and will let me download should i try this. Also I really don't want to try the usb jig if possible.

what batch phone do you have? (look under battery on back of phone). Mine is 1006 and I believe any made with 1009 (possibly 1010) or later won't be able to "one-click" back to JF6 and have to go back to JH7 instead. if you have one that can't go back to JF6 and tried to flash JF6, it's my understanding that there isn't a fix without the USB JIG... and having the JIG is always a safe bet/good idea.
also: wrong section, Q&A next time
If your phone is batch 1008 through 1010, Odin one-click will not work properly. Download Odin v1.7 and flash JH3 or later.
Update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10309886&postcount=1469
I made a USB jig without even cutting any cables. Just some resistors and tape (and a steady hand).
What about the samsung update should i do that?

Not true, I have a 1010 and can one click back to 6 no problem, I just have to make sure I have an update.zip around and the 3 button fix. OP I think your best bet is to take out your battery leave it sit for about 5 minutes, startup one click on your computer, put battery back in phone and hold volume up & down while putting in the usb to your phone. Flash back to stock and profit!

Whoever said it doesn't work is wrong. It works, but the one-click most people are using disables the button combo on all but early 1008 and older phones. There are flash packages which don't disable the buttons on any phones. If you must flash to stock (because you are selling or returning the phone or if some OTA update you want come out) just try to use the one with the fixed sbl.bin so you don't lose your button combos. If you just want to flash the latest perception or whatever then don't bother flashing to stock.

I'm pretty sure it just doesn't work...I tried to install JF6 with Odin 1.7 plus the 3 button fix and even that didn't work...I tried everything. The only ROM that took on my phone was JH3. Nothing else would work period...The jig was also necessary to get back into download mode...I almost got in with another ROM but eventually that also had a kernel panic as well. I probably should have posted a guide to what I did sooner but I didn't understand why my other 1010 phone didn't have this problem...now there is a guide already written to what I did...Although it is stated as using JH2 although I use JH3. I at least posted what I did on the 1-click forum in early december when I encountered this problem. I'm just glad the custom roms install ok over JH3 at least for now.

Not true. About half of those who try it (including me) absolutely cannot flash anything pre-JH3 without using the special JH2 to JF7 method I linked. It seems odd, because I am on a brand new batch 1010 phone, and my friend who got his phone a bit before me (also batch 1010) has no problems plugging it into my computer and using Odin one-click. It has nothing to do with the button combo problem.

On my 1009 build..I had the 3 button on eclair..and on any rom I flashed..and I had used the JH6 odin to stock with out issue about 12 times..I tried it 1 time with my new 1012 build with out issue..but..I don't want to press my luck any further...I want to find out if doing this is even needed since I have my Nand of the original rooted stock JH7...
I see no need to even do a nand of the original rooted stock rom as what has been suggested just about everywhere as the first thing to be done on a new phone..if this won't allow me to return to stock in the first place..I mean what would be the point of just taking up space on your phone if it doesn't work ? If it doesn't work...then it shouldn't be recommended to do it...If it does work..then it really should be almost mandated as a precautionary DO THIS FIRST on every Rom on here for those who have the 1008 builds and up...shouldn't it ? If it does work...it sure will save folks a lot of grief and heads aches...and a lot of extra work...

I have a factory new 1009. I have used I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 every time. No problem.
As you are about to see, I'm new to this.
I have been attempting to root my Captivate. I have tried Galaxy One Click Root and Super One Click 1.7, among others.
My phone won't enter recovery mode. I have tried to install z4root, which the phone blocks. I've tried using sideload wonder machine, which doesn't work either.
I downgraded to 2.1....nothing. Reloaded 2.2....nothing.
Any advice would be helpful at this point, and please be specific, as I am slightly retarded.
It its rumored that Odin one click to jf 6 will actually get rid if the recovery/ download modes, maybe try flashing a cognition ROM

That's not a rumor, it's a fact. Does not happen with all models.
What about full odin to jf6? I personally like to use odin every so often to master clear.
It would explain why superone click wouldnt root my phone lst time i master cleared, too. Ended up installing cwm and flashing straight to rom(which took care of rooting and 3rd party apps)

As I said, I'm slightly retarded. Do you know of a forum with instructions for doing this? Everything else I've tried has just caused a face to appear on my phone's screen laughing at me.
When you use super one click, did you enable usb debugging?

The captivate is actually an extremely easy root process...
Download this file update.zip
Put it on your internal SD card (internal Memory) not your SD card you can remove
Turn off your phone
Once off hold both volume up and down and hold power until you see the AT&T boot screen then let go of all 3 buttons. You should see recovery mode soon. Select Reinstall Packages, congratulations you are now rooted.
Is that the modded cwm? I think he said he was on 2.2. Regular cwm won't work with froyo(signature verification errors). There is a modded one somewhere on this site that either replaces 3e, our fixed sig on cwm.

I think he downgraded to 2.1 again which is what you'll need to be on to use the method I described.

I'm running 2.2
1-Downloaded and installed file update.zip to internal sd. Turned off phone. Tried to enter recovery mode. Got blank screen, att screen, blank screen, att screen, blank screen, etc etc.
2-Tried to install z4root. Blocked by phone. Tried to use sideload wonder machine, which can't detect the phone (in usb debugging mode and mass storage (tried both))
3-Tried Super One Click, which ran but did nothing.
4-Flashed to 2.1 and factory reset. Tried (2) again. Failed. Tried 1-3. Failed.
5-Flashed to a different version of 2.2. Started over. Failed.
I've been using some of the mobile tech videos, but everytime I get to the "Eureka!" phase, my phone just laughs at me.
use odin full version to flash speedmod kernel on 2.2, i even do this on 2.1, but on 2.1 you need the .zip file on the sdcard before you start because the phone will not boot with a 2.2 kernel, only enter recovery.
once on speed mod kernel you can either root and flash a kernel for att roms or flash a new rom without the need to root, the new rom will be rooted.
if you are on 2.2 you will need a computer one way or another, flashing back to stock can be a pain for those with the 3 button problem and it is way more time consuming than flashing a kernel, i have never used the tools out there but i don't know of an easier way than flashing a kernel via odin, especially if you intend to flash a 3rd party rom. also any time you flash a sbl.bin or boot.bin can be a dangerous situation. bad flashes that break the boot loaders aren't common but it causes enough "omg i bricked" threads to keep me from recommending it. there is a odin one click with a 3 button fix, if you use that once it will be fixed untill you flash a rom with odin that changes the bootloaders again. im not sure if there is a .tar stock rom for odin without the bootloader but that would be a good idea if there isn't.
you must not have the right drivers installed.
2.2 cannot be rooted by using an update.zip....you will need to get your drivers working and adb seeing the device....

sounds like you need the 3button fix first. there is an odin stock rom+3button fix, it should take you to 2.1 but you will get recovery mode. if that fixes the recovery mode 3-button combo and the phone boots you can put the rom of your choice on the sd card, then odin flash speedmod kernel and flash the new rom, warning the phone doesn't boot a 2.1 rom with speedmod kernel, i only do this as a faster way to get into cwm recovery, only do that if you intend to flash a rooted rom from 2.1.

Do you have a suggestion for a stable rom? I don't want to get to the point where I've got it working and throw a terrible third party on it. I'm just looking for device speed and controll over all apps, especially bloatware.
all of the available roms are stable. to be honest TiBu will remove bloat if you want it to.
Try them all and see which one you like. Pretty much all of the custom roms are better than stock. If you like to stay near stock but run more optimized, see Cognition. Otherwise see which one you like more. It's not a hard process if you read up on it.

it is hard to go wrong with cognition which is a stock rom with some mods and bloat removed and tethering enabled, that will have the proper kernel and modem for the captivate which for me has great call quality, also the disadvantages of not having hsupa are overblown.
there is also andromeda which is the rom from the armani captivate and is well polished and complete, has some of the more useful samsung apps. this can be used with a 2.2.1 kernel ported from the i9000 for a slight speed boost (shows in benchmarks, may not be detectable in user experience) this has hsupa and is designed for the captivate
i9000 ports are newer 2.2.1 versions and all of the features work now so you may want a newer firmware version from one of those..
there are many 2.2.1 i9000 roms that are fully functional. that is more a matter of feature set and theme preference it is hard to say one is better than the other. id say for stable the speedmod kernel is about the best on an i9000 port, for experimenting with overclock or undervolt i hear that the kernel with paragon is awesome.
now it is odd that you say you flashed a different version of 2.2 but cant get into recovery, was that in odin? can you get download without adb commands?

Use this method to flash back to stock. Supposed to be much safer that doesn't mess with the bootloader files. I have been using it for about 3 weeks now to flash back to stock. You CAN however still use the one click odin to master clear once you have flashed back to stock.
Back on topic... I would flash back to 2.1 using the above method and master clear to start fresh with this issue. Once that is done look for mobiletechvideo's 3 button fix video on youtube. But even if you have 3 button issues the Galaxy S one click root program should still get you into recovery. It doesn't always succeed in copying the update.zip file to the internal SD card but you can do that manually and just use the program solely to get into recovery. Make sure you have USB debugging on. After the stock flash and master clear it is off by default and samsung kies is on. You might want to invest in a Jig also since you have 3 button issues, it may save you hide someday.
As far as a good rom goes. Really all the 2.2.1 roms are pretty stable and fast. I'm currently using Continuum 4 with the paragon kernel and it floats and sips battery. If you like the stock look you can use cognition. If you like the green themed gingerbread look you can use Phoenix, Serendipity, Firefly, or Paragon which is my personal fav but hasn't been updated in a month.
Anyways good luck. I'm sure you'll figure it out.
oops, got double posted somehow
Thanks for all your advice and help. I finally got it rooted.
I've tried Cognition 4.3 and Paragon, both of which I liked. I like the appearance of Paragon, but the optimization just doesn't seem to be there. Cognition is great for customization, but I the appearance is just to 'stockish' for me, if that makes sense. Something in between would be nice. (Ideas?)
I plan to try Phoenix Unleashed, but i can't get it to download.
The reason why the programs are having a hard time seeing your cappy is because you need the Serial COM driver available only by installing Samsumg's software: Kies Mini... don't run the program just install it. Once you do this Odin and the Wonder Root program can see the phone. I had this issue.
I think its a hard brick, absolutely nothing happens to my phone. No Power, no nothing. Basically, i flashed back to stock eclair, and everythign was running smoothly. I used titanium backup to delete all user apps, and then restore them (from my other backup). Then i got rom manager, installed CWM, and rebooted into it. I then installed the 3 button fix. Went back into eclair, and transferred the cm7 file into the internal sd. Then i rebooted again into recovery... But this time, i realized i had to go out, so i pressed reboot phone. And now nothing works at all.
Any ideas?
try to build jig first, or go to ebay, search for "micro usb jig" and buy one.

You tried button all the button combos and ADB? Also did you try plugging the phone in to give it a source of power? ... pull battery and try again.
Have you tried to hold volume down + power for DL mode?
How did you flash back to eclair and what from?
@Mengbo, my jig should be arriving in a few days. But i do have a bunch of resistors, il give that a shot.
@Coreym, Its been charging for hours (well im not sure, because it shows no signs) ADB doesnt work unless its connecting in debugging mode i believe, and the button combos dont work
@Studacris, its the method you told me because my phone is a 1012 build. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133
Any other suggestions? :S
EDIT : Just tried it with a jig, nothing happened.
may need to be JTAG'd. Couple guys doing that. Connexion2005 is debricking captivates and could probably help you as a last resort.
Hmm this is weird ... You used the rogers stock rom package first only right? That doesn't have bootloaders, then you flashed the 3 button fix with three gb bootloaders which should've bricked you right there ... But here is the weird part unless I've misread the sequence of events, you were able to boot into the OS after that, then booted into stock 2e recovery rebooted and thats where are now?
Yep, exactly. Also, how does the 3 button combo have GB bootloaders? I used to flash it to stock eclair all the time...
Oh wait I thought I read that you came from gingerbread at first, when you flashed to stock the first time. What were rom were you on when you first started?
Yeah, when i flashed back to stock, i was on GR-12 which is GB.
But then i successfully went back to stock, and eclair booted up just fine. Its after doing the whole CWM thing (on eclair) that this brick happened.
Ok that's what I thought. That's why this series of events is really weird. The way you flashed back to stock didn't contain bootloaders, so you still had the gb ones which is fine to run on eclair, but the 3 button fix contains only a eclair/froyo secondary bootloader no primary at all so it didn't overwrite the gb one, so a mix of a gb primary and eclair secondary should have bricked you right there no question. I have no idea how it booted after you flashed the 3 button fix.
Well that sucks. Any ideas on how to fix it? Is the JTAG fix the only option?
For the hell of it I've only heard this working once with a bootloader mix up:
remove battery
replace battery
DON'T PRESS ANY BUTTONS
insert jig
Now hold the volume buttons.
if that gets you to download mode use odin one click right away to restore both stock bootloaders, when that causes a bootloop because of your phone not liking one click, use the stock package you used before. But you need to use one click IF you ever get it in download mode. IF being the operative word, don't get your hopes up with this one.
Probably won't work but if it does, WIN!
Get a warranty replacement
(hint) kies
Otherwise if you don't have a warranty because it's used or whatnot jtag is the only thing that can fix it at this point.
haha, il give that a shot then. However, i sent my phone in (saying kies was the problem) about 2 weeks ago. Should i do the same thing again? Or would they catch on?
LOOOOL!
That's a good question ... They can't prove it wasn't kies, and to out right refuse a customer his warranty based on just speculation does not make good business sense.
Haha! I guess that's true. So i guess now my dilemna is, should i send it to Samsung and wait 2 weeks, or should i send it to mobiletechvideos, pay 50 bucks and recieve it back faster.
Do you know if the jtag would void the warranty for sure? (in a way that they would know its been voided)
Not sure, but if you're worried about that use the warranty while you still can cause the clock is ticking on that time limit...
^^ he's not kidding. Warrenty for all of us is almost up :/
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
That's funny, now I have a question: is the year warranty based on the initial release of the captivates so all of the warranties expire at the same time, is it based on build date of the phone, or is it based on original purchase date?
I'm guessing the first, which blows, but I'm not 100%
Okay first of all, I would like to apologize if this is being posted in the wrong forum, or if I am upsetting anybody by posting this. I have searched all over for a couple days trying to figure this out. This is my last resort, and I'm hoping you guys can help. All of your time and understanding is much appreciated!
So a little background. About a week ago, I rooted my AT&T Captivate 2.2(build number 1012 if that helps) using Superoneclick, and then flashed CM7.1 using clockworkmod. I was not satisfied with CM7.1(terrible battery for me, other various reasons). I then downloaded MIUI (not sure which version, the one available on the premium version of clockworkmod) and flashed it using clockworkmod. This started with the cm bootscreen, and then went to an MIUI bootscreen that played a little tune. The miui screen looped, and it would not go past this.
After rebooting and running into the same thing, I went to f\attempt to find a solution. I thought I backed up my rom, but it had been erased (issue with the external sd I think). I used an odin one click I found on here, but this odin one click brought me back to eclair 2.1, instead of 2.2. Up until now, I could get into both download and recovery mode using the three button method, and now I can't. I am not sure what to do exactly. I have read about getting it into download mode using adb, but I'm not sure if that would work in my situation, and I'm not too educated on adb or android sdk. I stayed up almost all night last night, and now have researched most of today, not making much progress.
Thanks again for your time!
Just to clarify have you used all button methods in order to try to get into download mode. Seems as though flashing bootloaders may have f'ed up you combos. I have a couple suggestions. I'll edit my post as I find the urls to post for you
Stock GB ROM you should be using -- http://www.mediafire.com/?05nemq5yyn5fuqf, this one has bootloaders, but preferably you should use stock odin roms that don't mess with the BL's (after this of course, since yours are messed up right now).
Now of course this depends upon you getting into download mode. If you can use ROMmanager (btw, I don't recommend you download your roms from rommanager, as that will not always be the most up to date and may not be the one for you) to get into recovery mode, then from there go to advanced then reboot download. However some kernels do not support this. Try the cable methods before trying this method.
First of all, I appreciate your help Mikel.canovas. I have used all the button methods. I can no longer get into recovery or download. (Romtoolbox enables me to get into recovery(2E), but not download). I now have root access, but am not able to sideload apps, and apparently rommanager free isn't available on the market. I did buy rommanager premium, but unfortunately now that I basically reset my phone, it doesn't show up as bought (known issue, apparently not resolved?), and even after I bought it again, it says I need the free version to even use the premium version.
Should I go through the process to be able to sideload apps? Or will romtoolbox do the trick? Rom toolbox gives me the option to install a rom from my sd card. Should I use that, and select the GB ROM you provided? I'm not sure I understood exactly how you want me to get that GB ROM onto my phone.
What I want to eventually have is either MIUI or rom fasty on my phone. If possible, could you give me some steps on how to reach that goal?
Thanks again for your time. Eclair on the captivate is not pleasant, especially since I had a taste of CM.
Well first off I highly recommend Mosaic over CM or Fasty, solely because of performance and battery life. However that is all subjective.
Ah since you're rom is sending to 2E recovery, you're not rooted with cwm. You need to flash another kernel that supports this. Afterwards, If you can get into CWM, I recommend putting CM onto your sdcard and flashing from there. After booting into CM hold down the power button, press reboot, choose reboot download. See if that works. If not, does adb reboot download work for you? If not again, I recommend trying another USB port, reinstalling drivers, trying different button combos. I've had issues getting into download mode in the past and, trust me, it is VERY frustrating.
Well first of all, before you back into flashing stuff, don't flash to stock unless you have done everything possible with the tools on your phone. I'm assuming you gave it at least 5 minutes to boot up, as the first boot can variably take longer. You could go into recovery and wipe stuff, or you could have gone back to CM7. A flash to stock is probably never necessary in the situation you reported.
Anyway, if you can get into recovery, maybe try getting a kernel that allows you to reboot into download from recovery. Although that will depends on what kernel you are on right now, as I know speedmod kernel has that option, but you would need to get to download to flash that.
And as another poster wrote, have you tried all button combinations?

Oh, and miui won't really give you better battery life than CM7. It basically is CM7 with a different UI. I loved CM7 a ton, so if you are having issues with it, let me know! With the right kernel and other settings, battery life is pretty decent, as long as you charge nightly.

What is the build number of your phone? It's located under your battery, looks something like 10.06,10.07, 10.08 and so on
Alright, thank you, I will be checking back tomorrow.
Eventually what I want is to have the working 3 button combos again for both download and recovery mode, and either the miui, mosaic or rom fasty on my phone.
Easy flash GB BL's and you won't have to worry about 3 button problems!
If you didnt do a Master Clear, now would be the time. Make sure you back up anything you want to keep. MC will erase EVERYTHING on your internal SD
Remove your Micro SD, and your SIM
Download:
OneClick Root
SideLoadWonderMachine This also has CWM, 3ButtonFix and ROM Manager in the zip
Make sure you have Debugging enabled
Connect to your PC
Run One Click Root, and follow the instructions, reboot
Run Sideload Wonder Machine and direct it to install ROM Manager
Copy the update.zip(CWM) and 3Button Fix to your phone
Open ROM manager and "reboot to recovery"
You'll go thru the boot twice to get to CWM
In CWM install the 3 Button Fix
I usually pop out the battery and check it before I put the ROM in.
VERY IMPORTANT!!!!! DO NOT TRY TO USE THE 3ButtonFix while you have a GB ROM installed you WILL brick your phone. It only works on 2.1, and 2.2 ROM's
using this one click package I now am able to manually enter download and recovery :

1012, do you think any of my problems would have to do with the build number? WHen I got it, it had froyo with the working button combinations.

The only reason I asked about the build # is because the 10.08's were pretty commonly known to have 3 button issues. Also, anything above 1012 and using Odin1 Click could soft brick. I was just checking as I was offering info

Yep. Because these are Odin or Heimdall One Clicks.
You can't just flash to a GB firmware/rom from Eclair/Froyo without using Odin or Heimdall to at least get the Gb Bootloaders. You cannot just go through CWM recovery unless u already have the GB Bootloaders.
Of course u can get it all through mini Kies, the official GB 2.3.5 KK4 update that is.
