So i've been playing with my captivate which i had bricked, sent in to samsung, they fixed it and send it back, and i bricked it again the day i got it. I finally managed to get something on my screen! Anyone know what this is?

ive tried it multiple times and was only able to get that screen once. I did not have the USB plugged in, and i pushed on the bottom right side of the phone a couple times squeezing to make sure the battery was in, so i dont know if maybe one of the soft-keys was a part of bringing it up, or if this screen even matters to anything?
You can get into Dl mode just try it, this has happened to me and i was able to fix it

I've been trying for a couple months now to get into download mode. This is the first time ive seen anything on the screen since trying. Under my thumb is an asterisks (*) on the left edge of the display, but i can never get anywhere. I've tried all methods from http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode
Nothing lets me in! But im gonna keep trying...
I got it again! It says:
RST_STAT = 0x1
PMIC_IRQ1 = 0x0
PMIC_IRQ2 = 0x0
PMIC_IRQ3 = 0x14
PMIC_IRQ4 = 0x0
PMIC_STATUS1 = 0xc0
PMIC_STATUS2 = 0x2c
Any idea what that is? I plugged the phone into the comp with the USB cable, no battery, no sim card, no sd card. after plugging it in i held volume UP + power and put in the battery and it came up!
Remove every thing batter sim memory card, Press both volume plug in the cable then battery, Or both volume then battery and then cable or make a jig it will 100% work.
Its actually working now, its getting into download mode just fine, i think my problem was a cable that just doesnt want to work, i have to position it JUST Right to get a connection with the PC that sticks, or else it connects and disconnects immediatly!
So im on Linux (Ubuntu 11.04) and im using Heimdall One-Click to try and flash Android back on, but i get errors... every time...
The main one im getting is when its trying to setup the interface after i click flash, it just sits there forever and if i click the details button, it shows that it failed.
Any ideas?
Ok, here's the error information when it DOES connect and tries to upload the kernel:
Code:
Claiming interface again...
Setting up interface...
Beginning session...
Handshaking with Loke...
Downloading device's PIT file...
PIT file download sucessful
Uploading KERNELKERNEL upload failed!
Ending session...ERROR: Failed to send file part packet!
Clearly not a lot of information, but i'm using Terminal to run the jar file in administrator mode, and it does this each way.. I think im goin to reboot and try odin one-click in windows and see if i get anything different?
Ok back in Windows 7. Using the AIO toolbox, im doing the 1 click flash to stock option, and in Odin, this is what i see after hitting the start button:
Code:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/004> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
Never really changes from that....? I've also tried Odin 3-Click where i select the PIT file and the PDA file (the firmware file) and do it that way but that also freezes and doesnt continue... Any ideas?

Nope, grabbed the shiny new one thats only been used a few times. I can get into download mode, but nothing will flash... And the ONLY way to get into download mode is to plug in the usb cable and hold down the volume buttons when putting in the battery, no other "simple" method works (havent tried the jig or unbrickable mods).
Wow i finally got it! Its actually progressing through the flash right now, and i think i know what happened.
In windows, when you connect and disconnect a device, windows lets you know with sounds... Well with a new cord or old cord, the phone would reconnect a few times (many more with the old cord) when plugging it in and getting it going, and when it does it many times, the flash doesnt work...
But when i connect it the first time and am careful not to move anything so that it connects only once and i click the start button, it works!
It just passed the AT&T logo and finished the animation for the Galaxy S logo.. Wow its gonna work! Sweet jebus!
Glad it is working.
it did seem from what you were posting you were having a connection problem such as a bad cable.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Yeah it seemed like a cable problem, but its really just the port on the phone, its so worn out the mini-usb fits in loosly, even brand new cables... ugg...
Well now im having other scrambled screen issues, but they only occurred after installing the Apex 10 rom, so im talking with them now to see if they have any idea why its doing that... If they cant figure out the scrambled screen issue im having, than im gonna try some other roms to determine if its them or the phone.. Could be either!
Thanks for the help!
Apex is a gingerbread rom looks like u did not flashed the GB bootloaders before flashing the rom.
It can be internal memory problem (or RAM). Some PC do the same with BIOS problem

That's it.
you also won't be able to get into recovery.
If you're going to flash bootloaders with your connection issues it is quite possible you will hard brick if it disconnects while the flash is in progress.

If you would have searched just a little...
Either way.
Volume Down + Home Button + Power button. Keep them pressed for atleast 6 seconds. That will basically softreset your phone and get it into Download Mode.
tried it several times..
6th. time it did worked.. !!!!!!!!!
thnx so mutch
I have the same screen as posted above.
I also got it in download-mode..but when I try to flash the phone in ODIN it's not progressing...

What is going wrong? Can anybody please give some advice? I read threads and guides but I don't know how to solve this...I believe my earlier attempt to flash the phone went wrong..
The first time I flashed I used JG5, but after a flash the phone did not start normally..no normal homescreen etc. Now it cant start at all..
Edit:
I am trying to flash it again, but nothing happens..
im trying to post a screenshot which im not allowed to do apparantly..
i fixed it by holding doing the hard reset, after that, reboot your PC before the next attempt..
did the trick for me !
I already had this problem too, and naturaly tried two things
A: remove battery => useless
B: hold on the download mode keys => after a few seconds it worked ^^
but just in case, what is this hard reset that you are speaking about ???
This is what I did so far, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Step by step:
1. Loaded PIT (version 513) and PHONE / CODE / SRS in Odin
2. SIM and SD card phone
3. Download-mode phone
4. Connected phone to PC
5. Flashed phone (JG5)
6. Flashing done, rebooted phone
7. Android screen appeared with a number of options (update file / ...)
8. Pressed the Home-button (one of the options chosen, can not remember for sure ..)
9. Rebooted phone but does not go beyond animation and galaxy logo
10. After this nothing happens ..
11. put phone in recovery mode (hard reset)
12. put in download mode (soft reset)
13. tried to re-flash procedure but did not start
14. Kies reinstalled
15. Restarted PC
16. Reconnected phone
17. Tried other USB ports
18. Flash-process started again but no progress
19. Started again from step 1 (now with PIT 512 and firmware WJM1 PIT)
20. Now flash did start
21. Restarted phone, again same screen from Step 7
22. Chose repartion-option and then rebooted
23. Restarted phone again but progress does not go beyond animation and galaxy logo
24. After this nothing happens again ..
I'm using Windows 7 64bit..Geez, ealier I had no problems at all with flashing my old samsung jet..
Would it be possible that my galaxy S is just like dead or something?
Does it hang on the logo screen or does it close the logo screen and then hang?
After flashing it does stay on the logo screen for a while, 5-10 minutes sometimes.
I am not tying to be patronizing, i am actually trying to help

Tom is right. Point 23 takes some minutes to proceed the first time the device is flashed.
the steps work like they are discribed, buth pleass be patient or try after a reboot of both PC and Phone !

@do0fusz I got the same screen, trying to flash another bootloader:'(
How did you get this screen?
"the steps work like they are discribed" <- you mean described by MaltaSoron
I know that i can to get downloading mode with the USB-resistor connector, but, it is possible to reflash the right bootloader, later?
If not, how can y get a recovery mode? It could restore the bootloader?
Thanks in advance!!!
Hi there
Right now my Samsung Galaxy S wouldn't turn on.
Before this happened, I tried to flash DXJG4 on my device but ODIN got stuck at factoryfs.rfs for ages (more than 10 minutes). So I unpluged the device and took out the batterry. Then i inserted in the battery again and press Volume Down+Home+Power Botton (to get into download mode again). but nothing happens. Cannot even get anything to come up no matter what i press.
Im freaked out right now. Can somebody please help?
Edit : The screen comes back up now after a 30 minute darkness. phew!
Tried to flash again but still stuck at

nothing even comes up when i plug in the charger
Maybe try to download firmware again as well as pit file. Then try to flash it again. Its really hard to brick this phone. Of course I understand that you have usb drivers properly installed and you know well flashing procedure with odin.

you could try going into RECOVERY MODE first,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/Vibrant_GT-I9000M
then select the options to Wipe Cache, then Wipe Data
reboot,
now go back into Download Mode
and try to flash with Odin3 again
and make sure Check the box to REPARTITION

No, can't go into download or recovery mode
then, you wont be able to do much to fix it.
take it back to the store, tell them your computer rebooted when it was updating.

Don't take your phone to the store... =)
Just try this:
- Remove battery+sdcard+power cord+everything you can
- Press AND HOLD the "Volume Down" + "Power Button" combination
- Count to 3 and say "Cú da velha"
- Ask someone to plug in the battery
Welcome to download mode... I hope =)
tell me about it
Hello guys.
I just have one very weird problem with my phone.
Previously, i've been using the asian singapore firmware dxjf4. Today, I decided to flash over to JG5, but didn't like it. So i flashed back to my asian firmware.
What happened is, during the point of flashing, my phone says
E:Error in /cache/recovery/sec_csc.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Then installation of firmware terminated. Therefore, my phone is still bricked, and I don't know how to revert it back to the asian firmware.
When i flashed the european jg5 firmware, i had to add in the .pit 512, the csc, the pda, and the modem. But for the asian firmware, i only need the pda. So did i flash incorrectly? please help!
Do i need to do a factory data reset before i flash?
Or is there a special way to flash from jg5 to dxjf4?
I wouldn't want another firmware as a solution, because the singapore firmware has specific features and i got certain carrier benefits from the 2 year contract phone line that could enable those specific features.
Thanks.
First time updating my firmware with Roto`s latest Full installl.. I followed the instructions to the letter.. yet everything goes well, but ODIN just is hanging on moviand,mst no errors, it seems to be doing something, I just dont want to unplug and be left with an orniment Been 10 minutes so far.

If you're still stuck, you can unplug it and start over. But before you do, jot down what the Odin log shows, so we can tell what got flashed up to the hang.
Also, post more info, like what firmware you were running, what brand unit, etc.
Will do.. Thank you sir.
roto's the man for any problems as always lol
I have a sch-i800 tab (verizon) at this point. Odin is waiting forever with movinand.mst
Any thoughts to unstick?
I am in the same boat with a Vzw Tab. Has there been any luck with anyone since Feb?
any fix for this?
I'm on a Verizon Tab and getting stuck at this part too. Been an hour so far. Does it take a long time? How do I fix it? Thanks in advance.
Still nothing on this???
just happened to me finally failed tab shut down and will not turn back on
I'm in the same boat. Trying to flash Roto-JMI-Fullv2 after a botched flash with CWM. Tab is currently showing the hone, triangle and PC screen, and Odin 1.70 is stuck on movinand.mst. My tab is a verizon unit.
Does anyone solved this movinand.mst freeze problem?
Ouch! Bricked mine too. Too bad that Tablet was really a nice device.
I guess when Sprint says they don't want your device updated you'd better listen.
I can't even get back to factory reset now.
Any update on this?
I am on the same situation:
Odin hangs at movinand.mst
Here's the log:
Code:
<ID:0/018> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/018> zImage
<ID:0/018> param.lfs
<ID:0/018> cache.rfs
<ID:0/018> dbdata.rfs
<ID:0/018> factoryfs.rfs
<ID:0/018> modem.bin
<ID:0/018> movinand.mst
<ID:0/018>
<ID:0/018> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I tired out of curiosity to create a new package WITHOUT movinand.mst, and it flashes with no problems (but of course would't boot!)
So I guess the problem really is at movinand.mst?
Another theory: maybe it's not movinand.mst per se, but just that Odin hang after certain time, and being movinand the last one it happen to be there?
At a certain point I had to replace my USB cable. As I was in China when I bought the spare cable I cannot be sure about it's quality, maybe slower cable- causes odin's timeout?
seems the problem is actually movinand.mst
I created 2 copies of the .TAR, one with everything BUT movinand.mst, one with only movinand.mst. The first one loads with no problem, the one with movinand.mst fails.
With other fw (eg: XXJQ1) i get the same situation on hidden.rfs.
something wrong with these 2...
it's defintely me
I am having problems with all possible roms: i have tried JME, JQ1 and others, always something wrong happens at the end.
The best I can get to is to get to the flashing logo, but no boot.
I have tried chainfire's SGTBootloaderCheck-1.0 (while in recovery mode) and it tells me I am clean..
i dont know what to do, it doesnt look like a heavy brick, but I cannot get out of it!
Can you still enter download mode? try manually flashing factoryfs and kernel from a stock rom via heimdall.
That usually manages to get me out of a soft brick.
@will
I had the phone and pc screen to after a botched odin load. Its rather known as the "you suck at loading software" screen lol. Rest assured its just a soft brick if you can atleast get to it or see it so all hope isn't lost. Its another download mode screen basically.

Although mine is the tmo version relatively the basic mechanics should be doable.
I fixed mine by plugging it into the computer and once that screen comes on odin should detect it. It took a while so just be patient. Once odin shows the yellow com box have the pit and the roms tar file ready. Click Start and it should catch and load the rom. That's what i did and it got me back up and running.
If your battery is dead then just plug it in the wallcharger for 2hrs. Should give the battery enough charge to complete the procedure.
My advice is to find a stock Verizon GB rom with pit and tar files. After that just look for a custom kernel that gives cwm.
After that you can flash other roms once your back in action. Hope this helped a fellow gtab user ;-)

hi @Derrian, i can get to download mode.
I have tried many Rom's but all fail at either hidden.rfs of movinand.mst (depending their content).
Could you suggest me any ROM in particular you have tried?
Do You think it has to be THE original from brand (china unicom) or it can be any stock version?
thanks!

I would suggest using Boca, it is in my opinion the easiest to flash.
I cannot flash the Base ROM

I am reading Boca's instructions for the first time.
If I understand correctly, the bases are the same as Overcome: the assumptions is that you install the ROM using CWM recovery of a clean and working GB_Stock_safe_v5 install, then flash OC's kernel to convert FS to ext4.
But in my case I cannot Flash GB_Stock_safe_v5, as Odin would fail at hidden.rfs.
I am not sure that is a good idea to change FS formatting on a semi-bricked tab as mine?
Could I revert back if something goes wrong?

Actually I had the same problem. Was doing a flash with Odin, it failed. Tried to get into download mode and couldnt with buttons. I yried my jig and it didnt work. I swore my jig was bad but it wasnt. I unbricked it with the Heimdall Captivate Unbricker software. I think it was called One Click Unbrick or something. Once I got it installed it worked like a charm and I was able to get it working again.

God people don't read... That screen can be used as Download mode.

with that screen odin will not recognize the phone.
tried some one-clicks, and regular odin 1.82
if anyone will consider fixing this i would gladly mail you the phone and pay you for it, if anyone is up for that. pleez let me know

miui was on there before the problems. i would rather just have a stock rom, or hell, any rom that actually boots, send me an email on your info, i'll do it
[mod edit - removal of moderated material]
@OP: can you into download mode? if not make or buy a jig...its around 2-3 dollars off ebay..
If you can go into download mode and Odin can see it but failing then just try running Odin as admin, changing cables, changing USB ports, changing computer...u r not completely bricked...complete brick means no sign of life at all....I have seen that screens many times no problem...
OP, I would also suggest looking at the connection issues post in my signature. Try all those steps to get the computer to recognize your phone first.
completely bricked means you have nothing. Phone doesn't light up at all. I would know, I've done it.

Pay attention to the pop-up about installing drivers. The flash WILL fail the first time because your partitioning is wrong. Select the flash bootloaders option after that and flash again.
made a jig with the 100k resistors from radio shack. now it isnt working. when it did work, i tried odin with three different samsung cables(stock, gs2, focus), on two different computers, odin got stuck at the same spot everytime. i uninstalled and reinstalled samsung drivers at least 3 times. I remember the first time i rooted it and put cyanogenmod on it it was using the galaxys drivers for some reason.
i'll try the last few suggestions, but if its a no-go, i would seriously just mail this off to someone with some cash who can fix it, things driving me nutz.

no combination of buttons will work.
all i get is the "phone--/!\--PC" screen.
i'll keep working on my 99 cent jig from radio shack
windows will not recognize it when plugged in, nor will heimdall or odin
all my comps are windows 7. maybe i could try linux or xp in a virtual machine, but i dont see how any os will see it if it doesnt even register when plugged in to all my comps now

woohoo!!!!!!, thanks for that link AdamOutler , i got my jig to work and the app you linked to worked perfectly.
thanks everyone for all your help
my phone is soft bricked
I was trying different roms and when i moved to cm7 i found that my download mode is not working through adb and key combination plus usb plug in methods. so in recovery mode i tried to install some other rom and after 2-3 tries to install the rom i got in position that when i reboot my cappy, it shows att logo screen and then it stucks there. when it is off and put usb cable in it, it show circles (the same for charging) but not the battery signal.
i made a usb jig and it does not seem to work. i hv checked with multimeter that when i connect the jib it provides 296k ohm on the pins 4-5. (i hv opened the device and checked the jig resistance while connected). i am considering the 4-5 pins are the closest to microphone jack
adams detect mode does not detect device even in ubuntu.
windows (7 64bit )does not detect it to be connected.
As i have opened the device for un-brickable mod but it seems to be impossible for me to do it myself. i live in bahrain (gulf). it is very small place to find some good soldering skill guy. it will be very costly and time consuming it to send it to someone in usa to do mod for me.
please help me regarding this.
After flashing stock with ODIN using the AIO toolbox my captivate gives a message
"Kernel Panic Upload Mode" with some of the letters covered by these values
"RST_STAT = 0x4
PWIC_IRQ1 = 0xfc
PWIC_IRQ2 = 0x0
PWIC_IRQ3 = 0x1
PWIC_IRQ4 = 0x0
PWIC_STATUS1 = 0x40
PWIC_STATUS2 = 0x2c"
before this my phone started giving weird problems and a bunch of applications kept force closing.
I restarted it and the phone got stuck in the CM7 load screen.
(I had Cyanogen Mod 7 flashed on it)
Any ideas...
Don't Use the AIO Toolbox.
U may need a JIG to get back into download mode (if u can't get there through the regular methods). Once in download mode I would recommend Flashing back to Stock and go from there.
Check my signature link below for some links that will help ya out.

Your not going to like the answer. Flash to stock, with a pit file, AFTER formatting the internal sd. Remove the external sd and Sim before you start.
That happened to me. I just pulled battery and rebooted.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
how exactly do I flash the internal sd with ODIN?
If you want to wipe it clean, you can user Odin one click jf6 it has a "master clear" button plug in while booted and usb debugging turned on.
or you can boot into cwm go to mounts and storage and format sdcard.
Not sure what you're tyring to do...but that's the only thing Odin does to the sdcard.
ok i clicked master clear in the 1-click odin...it fails to do anything
odin just shows master clear and nothing after that(left it on for a while)
im still using the aio toolbox should i use something else?
Also I cannot boot into anything if i turn the phone on it immediately goes into kernel panic
i can only access download mode
Reflash stock, without aio and with external sd and sim removed. After it boots up, take any photos, songs,etc off the internal sd, then format it.
I have been trying to use ODIN to flash to stock but now whenever it gets to the "SetupConnection..." phase it gets stuck. I have downloaded a different ODIN one-click to see if it has any effect but it did not.
Any thoughts or suggestions now? Is my phone bricked?

If Odin can't connect, you may have to reinstall the Samsung drivers.
Make sure you have Odin open before plugging in your phone to the PC in download mode. Also make sure you are on a rear USB port.
Try the attached drivers assuming you are on an I897.

U probably need to try something other than a "one click".

i tried the full odin and that just resulted in kernel panics
this one-click put my phone in a very unusable state
do i need to get that download mode jig now?
Try using kb2 instead of jf6. Some phones won't boot eclair.
i cant get into download mode so should I make a download mode jig
Yep. Click my signature below. Then go to the links I have there on how to make a jig and/or where to buy one.
