hey folks,
i'll be picking up my jig tomorrow, just want to run the procedure by folks to see if things are right. i accidently used the wrong odin and flashed an att stock that has resulted in the att logo boot loop and requires a jig. i had come from miui 2.3.5, flashed the att and got pooched. so the jig will get me back to download mode.
once the phone goes in download mode, use odin 1.7 with stock rogers 2.1 rom.
the only thing i've never understood is the bootloader aspect. will this require any tinkering or are they loaded when i run the stock rogers?
Nah bootloader is fine.
Yea the jig brings you to download mode.
Yes you flash the Rogers rom

so with this being stuck in an att boot loop with no 3 button recovery (due likely to att), is this called a soft brick? from what i read hard brick is when things won't turn on at all, another screen I've never seen is the pc/phone logo. not sure what mine is and how serious...still trying to track jig in toronto
Yes, u r soft bricked.
And when u do get into download mode and run odin with the rogers 2.1 -- that will give u the stock bootloaders also.
U need to use this one --- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11820447
And u will need to select the pit file in this Odin and b sure that the Repartition is selected.

thanks guys much appreciated...just awaiting a jig. only have one usb and didn't want to cut that. no one in toronto will sell theirs as they'd rather repair yours for 75 bucks.....really.... once I hit d/l mode this'll be a 10 minute job if that. thanks for the help will let you know how it rolls.

I'm not new to this sort of stuff either. I used odin one time on my phone with no issues what so ever. my wife just had to make a warranty claim on her phone and we just got the replacement, asked her if she wanted me to root and put cognition on and she said sure
Well it had stock 2.2 on it and it wouldn't install clockwork recovery. upon reading that it was the update causing the problem I figured id just use odin to take the phone back to 2.2. I used a brand new charge cable I've only had for 3 weeks and things started fine but eventually the screen went black and odins progress bar stopped moving... 15 mins went by and nothing was happening... so I knew it was messed up and I unplugged it...
And $125 later I have an ins replacement on the way. Understand that I've been doin this for six months and this is the first time I've ever had a problem... so what happened? major hit to my confidence here!

Your prob is due to the new phones that come with 2.2 don't always work with one click Odin. Should use the recovery work around for it instead
should of known....ugh... wish I would of known this yesterday I would of been $125 richer and minus one angry wife. What about my phone now? its runing cognition 4.4.2. In light of what's happened I'm thinking about going back to stock myself and staying there... Will odin work on my phone or is there another way?

you could use the Odin one click for JH6, that'll take you back to eclair and you can use the Kies mini to update to 2.2 KB1
or...
you could use full odin to flash the 2.3.3 basic theres a great TUT for it. let me grab some links...
the TUT; http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&highlight=tut
the odin to Eclair: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989&highlight=odin+one+click
if your going to choose the gingerbread path make sure you READ a lot.
And I wouldn't lose to much confidence over it. If you look at some of the "big shots" they usually have hard-bricked a captivate.
Thanks for the reply... yeah my confidence is bruised but its hard to turn back now. Just def don't ever wanna find myself in this situation ever again. I am interested in going to gingerbread, in fact very interested. I've started to look into it I'm gonna read more before I make the big jump.

Next time, (hopefully there won't be a next time for you) you should first hit up samsung warranty first. If you have att, try them before samsung. I hard bricked my phone, sent it to samsung, they fixed it, no charge and sent it back. It took about 12 days, but it was FREE. Just an fyi.

What happens if your running a gingerbread rom with updated bootloaders and you decide that you want to go back to froyo and elair. Is your only option odin one click to restore the bootloaders?, what if your captivate is one of those unlucky ones that like to brick with odin one click? Would you be stuck on gingerbread?
You can use 2.2 roms with gb bootloaders, they are backwards compatible. Just make sure there are no bootloaders in the rom you flash.

Wait so if i flashed gingerbread bootloaders and my phone is not compatible with odin one click, is there no way to get back onto froyo/eclair bootloaders? I understand that you can still flash froyo roms without bootloaders but you can always make a mistake and flash froyo bootladers bricking your phone.
You can use the regular JH6 flash back just not the one with the three button mod, this is because the three button mod replaces 1 out of 2 bootloaders and they won't match but the JH6 only replaces both (or none not sure) and they do match

Check stuff from studacris on this forum. He's very knowledgeable and helpful. I saw somewhere where he wrote about using odin one click to flash stock with any build. You'll get a bootloop, or a soft brick, and then put in download and flash the jf6 secure with odin. That way you have boots and stock. Don't quote me on any of this. I'm going off memory and might have some of this wrong. Don't want anyone mad at me for the wrong info. Just read into his posts, before trying any of this. You'll definitely learn a lot.

if you go to gingerbread and want to revert back to stock bootloaders you will have to use one click, even though you will end up in a bootloop and then use the package i posted to get it up and running completly sotck.

Sigh, i really regret ever getting involved in this rooting business Basically, in installed a stock 2.1 rom, and now i can't get into Download mode any more. I tried using Keis, hoping that maybe i could get back to 2.3 that way, but it's not recognising my hone any more. Can anyone offer me any help here?
OK first and foremost all is not lost. Losing download mode is a common issue with many Eclair stock ROMs.
What you need is a download mode USB jig which can be bought for cheap on eBay. This will let you get into download mode whenever you get stuck in these situations.
Another option is to download an App like SGS toolbox. I haven't used that program in a while (basically haven't since I bought a jig), but I believe that particular program allows you to "reboot into download mode" too...

buy a usb jig and try it
To be fair, that shouldn't be possible at all unless if you messed up the bootloader. Which rom did you flash, and where did you get it from?

Like I said earlier, I've personally have flashed a stock Eclair ROM before on a i9000m and a i9000t and lost the option for download mode. IDK know why, but it was definitely gone.
Got download mode back by the jig and a Froyo stock rom. It may not make "sense" but besides my experience I've seen others talk about the same issues on Stock Eclair and not being able to get into Download Mode...

ok i have a bootlooped phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604792&page=3 as in this thread says but i was wonder how to know if it is the bootloader that is ruined AKA BROKE unless i need a jtag would there be a way to find out if Bootloader is broke?
Can you get into download mode , either with the button combo or usb jig? If you cannot, then it's the bootloader. You probably have a kernel problem. If you flash a kernel that doesn't work for your rom, then you get a bootloop. Or if Odin fails to flash the kernel, happens to me every other day. But Odin eventually flashes successfully, no need to go back to stock.

Hello! I had the Andromeda 3 ROM on my Captivate and I tried to flash back to stock 2.1... and a boot loop is what I get. When I boot up the phone, the ATT logo comes up for 5-10 seconds and then reboots, and when charging the battery charge indicator shows for 3-5 seconds and reboots. I've tried all the 3 button combos (that don't work) and my JIG is arriving today. So, can someone please help?
Once u use the jig to get into download mode, u can use one of the Odin or Heimdall One Clicks to get back to a Stock base...KK4 is the latest leaked/official for i897...see the Master One Click stickied thread in the Development forum.

Yeah, I was looking at that. Now I just have to wait for my JIG to come! My Captivate's been bricked for a couple months and I already upgraded to an Atrix 2 but I don't want my Captivate to be a paperweight anymore.
Thanks, it works now!

If you can't get into recovery or download mode you might be in a bit of a pickle. Recently did that to my GS3 and I had to send it back to Samsung. I would find and try a USB Jig first, that might get you into download mode so you can use Odin to flash stock firmware back onto the phone. Just do a google search for Samsung USB Jig.
Thank you for your advise:thumbup:lol
That is only way to unbricking the phone?

Well that is the way you can do it, if the USB Jig gets you into download mode. If it doesn't, then you can have it JTaged. There are companies out there that offer JTag Service for some fee. Can't remember now but like 60-70 bucks maybe. Again, I'm sure it's just a google search away. Other than those two options I don't know if anything else, besides sending it back for warranty replacement.
