BRICKED 1st post edited.

EDIT:
odin crashed while going back to stock then
my phone will get to download mode buuuuut.. my computer doesnt recognize my phone...
i re-downloaded drivers and the phone is recognized however odin failed the 2 times i got it in dl mode(took about an hour to get it each time)... so i have a jig ordered but with odin not working im not feeling optimistic

nothing seems to happen when its plugged into the wall no battery icon. i reinstalled drivers hoping that would help with no luck.. i just got it back in dl mode after like an hour of it not turning on for me but it doesnt do anything once i get it there.

Get odin3 one click and use it in dl mode. It will brg ur phone back to stock
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

definately problem of bad USB..either cable or port....try using different USB cable or different computer....Use full odin by iCezar...its with minimum risk....specially very beneficial in cases like yours....

my pc doesnt see my phone. thats the issue i cant use odin. and the only thing my phone will do is glow black or go to download mode, idk if its charging but its getting hard to get it in dl mode, multiple tries atm no luck
i have already tried reinstalling the drivers. what are they called so i can delete them and install again rather then just redownload maybe that will help?

did you always had this problem or just when in DL mode? if you always had this problem then ofcourse something wrong with USB port...but if its only for DL mode then u remove and redownload drivers....

nope this only happened AFTER my crash on odin. my pc has always seen the phone.

try connecting your phone to pc when odin is already running. See whether it detects. Mine worked this way.

thats not a big deal, just get it in download mode, and flash it with odin.
EDIT: might as well us this post to say what my computer says with usb since i got in in dl mode again...
USB device not recognized
one of the usb devices attached to this computer has
malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it.
then something about for assistance in solving this issue click here

this has happened to me acouple times, the first was my fault I pull the usb before odin finished. I could get back into Download mode but Odin would not see the phone and computer would not recognize the phone either, device not recognized.
I tried rebooting, re-installing drivers etc. did not work.
but after an hour or so I finally got it to recognize and odin'd back to stock and back to flashing I was.
this is what I did hope it works for you.
1. disconnect all usb devices
2. un-install captivate drivers
3. reboot computer
4. goto device manager and verify that there is no USB device errors, if there is delete them and reboot again verify again in device manager.
5. install captivate drivers
6. reboot computer
7. start ODIN (DG or iCezars, iCezars is safer)
8. plug USB cable into the computer first (the one that came with the phone not an after market one)
9. hold both up and down volume buttons on the phone
10. plug the usb cable into the phone quickly to get into download mode (if I plugged the phone is slowly ODIN did not recognize the phone no COM, once I did it quick and it picked it up)
11. push START as soon as ODIN shows the COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4 etc (this had to be done quickly too, If i waited ODIN would show the COM but still would not start flashing back to stock)
this worked for me more than once I hope it helps you good luck

oh ok thanks, ill give that a try when i get off of work. i hope my battery doesnt die idk if its charging or not

well no luck even getting back to download mode. i bought a jig so i guess im waiting and trying while i wait.

i keep reading its possible to completely brick if odin fails... did i perma brick?

well a bump of sorts, the jig should come in the mail tomorrow. i miss my phone

jig came in the mail, im working on a few failed odin3 attempts but as i freaked out and started typing this post it seems like a great success. the jig works wonderful

I have not had to do this but I know some others had issues with Odin and had to right click on Odin and run as administrator for it to work. Also the Odin 1 click should work in almost any situation to get you back to stock. The only worry (again never had the problem) is that depending on the build version of the phone you could lose the three button recovery. Look for the Odin that DG posted.

Did you try a jig?

[Q] Simply put, i'm SOL.

SOLVED: when having trouble with your computer not making a good connection to the phone, try your USB HUB on the mother board. it totally fixed my problem!
So here it is. I received a cappy from a buddy at work.
Basically, she is running cognition (FROYO BASED) rom, not sure of the kernal, and Cwm.
i can get the phone to reboot into RED CWM recovery, and even into DOWNload mode.
The phone was shut off during a factory reset. the battery died.
(IDK the girl was a dumbass and did it from settings on the phone not in CWM )
The phone will boot, ONLY after a factory reset from CWM but the setup google accs f/c's and the only thing i can get it to do is volume up/down pull the notification bar down and power off recovey dl mode...ect ect.
Task manager say's there are no APPS installed on the phone running? yet when i go LVL 2 RAM clear, the phone says 13 apps closed..
I think the Stock APK's have been deleted, since i cannot get into menu at all.
Since she factory reset the phone, and wiped the SD CARD, ALL CWM recoveries she created are GONE.
I have Cleared the cache, and wiped dalvik code, fixed permissions.....
I'm very familiar with the VIBRANTS, not the cappy's so this is a challenge to me.
my Vibrant has connected with all the usb drivers from samsung, but the cappy cannot. I've even downloaded the drivers for just the CAPPY, uninstalled all others, and Still not recognized, yet my vibrant does?
i've installed i think every driver on here for captivates, kies downloads, even went to the samsung website and Downloaded from there.
STILL NOT CONNECTING.
Even DL'd the AIO cappy toolbox (very nice to have for my VIBRANT)
Still no avail.
THE PHONE CANNOT MOUNT THE EX SD CARD. So that idea's out.
all my drivers are correct for the 32 bit vista OS. even tried on my GF's 64 Windows 7.
Still no avail.
I've installed the drivers with the phone in DOWNLOAD mode even, still not connecting.
Rebooted the computer after removing and also reinstalling drivers.
Changed between 3 diff cords, all work for my VIBRANT,
still no avail.
Any idea's would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

First, see if you can find out which version of Cognition she was running (Gingerbread- or Froyo-based).
Once you have that information, I believe you should be able to download the appropriate ROM on you computer and copy it to the microSD card (adapter or whatever method you need to do to get it there). Since you can get into CWM recovery, you could try flashing the ROM from there. Assuming it's a full wipe rom (and you're not concerned about keeping apps installed on the phone), it should reset things to a more workable state. (If you are worried about apps remaining... I don't know what to say at this point, since you can't get to Tibu.)
If that doesn't work, you could try the one-click back to stock (realizing that you're having connectivity issues, I'll get to that in a second).
When you connect the phone in download mode to ODIN, does the yellow COM:# show up?
If you have tried ODIN on your Vista computer, try running ODIN as Administrator.
I've had some luck in the past getting the phone to be recognized (assuming Froyo) by doing this:
1. With nothing connected to computer, start ODIN (one-click to stock would be good).
2. Pull battery on phone.
3. Reinsert battery, but do not power on.
4. Hold Vol+/Vol-/, and insert USB cable.
5. Wait for it to kick into download mode, release buttons, and wait again.
6. See if ODIN recognizes it.

Thats my problem, the cappy does not see that there's an EX SD card there at all? says no files, but i've tried to push a cognition rom to the EX SD and use CWM to flash it to get it to boot, but the phone cannot see that there's an EX SD, but the SD card is fine, even my vibrant used it..
ODIN as ADMIN? tried that and nothing, still no yellow com port,
i know how to use odin, as my VIBE has been "Bricked" a few times lol
the vol up/down button combo does nothing, just shows up as a charging screen, the only way i can get the phone to download mode is through CWM.
the phone is running a FROYO based cognition ROM. or that's what her bf put on there.

This may sound stupid and simple but is the device set on mass storage from the settings menu? If you know.
Also have you tried mounting your sd cards in CWM?

lol THATS MY PROBLEM> the phone thinks it boots normally, but i cannot get the settings menu. like the "SETTINGS APK" file was deleted when she formatted the SD!
but i was just playing around and i got google voice search to pop up!
then from there i used my WIFI and setup the google settings, then i went to the market grabbed CWM and used the cognition rom i've already downloaded, and used it!
then the GREEN CWM booted, and it still cannot MOUNT EX SD card. so the flash failed.. HMMMMMM
As of now i am gonna go into the rom i DLed (cognition) and try to DL Root explorer and hard push the Settings.apk file to the system. HOPEFULLY from there i can get my settings back to restore the phone.

Realizing that it's a long shot at best due to connectivity issues, have you tried using ADB?
If so, you could push the ROM you need to the internal SD.

so, used root explorer to move the NEW cognition froyo rom from the EXternal SD to the INTERNAL SD. from there i used CWM recovery to flash the rom, the rom flash was successful, but now the phone is stuck in bootloop on the AT&T world phone screen.
and CWM will not LOAD. FML
Looks like i'm gonna have to take this apart and get to the internal SD card. =/

Can you get to CWM with the Vol+/Vol-/Power combo - hold those past one AT&T screen and when you see the second one, let go?

Adb was not an option at that point, the phone couldn't recognize it even had a phone attached to it.
but now that i'm stuck in bootloop and with no CWM recovery OR DL MODE, yeah the jig isnt' workin... HAHA
i guess its just a paperweight now.. Owell, i tried.

i held it for about 3 mins... lol and the jig i got for my VIBRANT isn't workin either. I didnt know these phone's can lose the 3 button combo reset? i often flash I9000 roms to my vibe, thats why i have a jig, but i didnt think cappy's would do that unless i flashed an i9000 rom to it? lol

Just because I'm not sure if you tried it - have you tried plugging the cable into a different port on your computer? If it's not one directly connected to the motherboard, that can sometimes cause problems getting the phone to be recognized.
Also - does the phone show any signs of recognizing there is a cable inserted (like charging)?

tried every port. No the phone only acts as if it wants to display the batt charging symbol, but does not show, I cant believe it, i actually think i bricked a galaxy s.. haha

Another long shot, but you could try the One-click unbrick. Since it's Heimdall-based, there's always a chance.

Wow, didnt know that even existed. Definately gonna be useful for my Vibrant, haha i'll give it a shot.. THANKS, i'll report back after i try it.

I hope it does something. With the connectivity issues you're seeing it's starting to sound a little like hardware issues.
I'm going to throw out a checklist of stuff, knowing that you are already experienced with ODIN and ROM flashing, simply because I know I usually can use some sort of checklist to make sure I've caught everything.
- Redownloading/reinstalling drivers, rebooting before connecting phone
- Redownloading/reinstalling ODIN package
- Redownloading ROM to flash
- Hold V+/V-, inserting USB cable
- Remove battery, hold V+/V-, insert USB, insert battery
- Hold V+/V-/HOME softkey
- Hold V+/V-/HOME/Power
- If download mode reached, allowing phone to sit connected for long time
- If download mode reached, connecting phone after opening ODIN
- If download mode reached, connecting phone before opening ODIN
- If download mode reached, connecting phone after ODIN, disconnecting, reconnecting phone
That's all I can think of for a checklist of stuff to try/retry.

I appreciate the help but i've tried all of those options several times, The jig did work to get it into DL mode, but from there i'm still in the same **** position, my computer will not recognize that the phone is connected.
Is it possible that the phone somehow lost its drivers? what i mean by that is, the phone acts different with different USB ports, completely.
On one port it says unknown device, another USB android composite device.
Its as if the phone's changing as i change ports. Very FRUSTRATING!
i think it could be a hardware issue myself, but how could a corrupt drive work so well? To the T every time i've used the jig DL mode fired up, but my computer still cannot find the drivers to run it. Hell i've even tried using winusb drivers package to force install the phone, still no avail.
Like i said, I really appreciate the input, I figured if i couldnt figure it out, someone on here had some EXP in doing this lol i've just never had a driver problem give me so much trouble. IDK, bout ready to turn this paper weight into a pile of ash.

If you can get into cwm, have you tried doing another hard reset/factory wipe?

Thats the problem, earlier i COULD get into CWM, and hell i flashed the new rom perfectly!
now it is stuck bootlooping, therefore i just used the Jig, and first few times it didnt work, now its stuck bootlooping, download mode is attainable, and still NOT connecting to my pc via usb.

Try a different computer? also, which version o of odin are you using? I've found 1.3 & 1.82 to work best.

Now...... its bricked.

Hi,
yeah.. its over now. My SGS doesnt longer react to USB connectivity, except power charging <3
Finally I have to get a microSD, hm?
cheers

What about downloade-mode?

download mode is workin! But neither download-mode nor cwm with mounted usb drive let my PC recognize it as an SGS.
Tried several slots and computers with different operating systems.
And by the way: my smart phone isnt booting any longer, stucks at kernel splash due to some epic-fail-flashing-moves.

I would check anyway, if odin recognize the phone!
My PC also doesn't recognize my smartphone as an sgs, during this is in downloadmode .

It's not bricked if you're able to get download mode or recovery menu.
Do you have latest SGS drivers installed? Kies installed?
If not, download them or download Kies.
Then try to flash stock JVR firmware to you phone.
Hope those work.

No, Odin does not react.
Like I said: I tried different PCs and set-ups.
But now i think it could be important to mention, that before I have had my bricked phone, my plan was to fix the phone. Because it stucked in panorama mode and showed a lock screen, like it were shown if it were connected to the SGS dock.
I didnt see any chance to deactivate it. Not even the automatic display turn worked to get back to portrait mode.
My result was that my phone got damaged by rain (maybe it got a little wet at a rainy outdoor party). In fact: I dont know what happenend, but at this time i wasnt able to connect it as a mass storage and at this time it stucked in this wierd dock-mode.
Now my clever move: shut down => cwm => format everything => boot => wonder why it doesnt work => short remember of the USB problem => **** => problem solving Plan B
Yeah thats all.

Suggestion:Maybe you can try this !!??
Pls take it as friendly advice
OR you should try to get a Jig and enter Download mode

I didnt know about the thread you just linked, thanks for the really friendly advice !
But seriously, this is nice to know and he can have my device if theres no hope, but i wont give it up this early.
Just reinstalled KIES but didnt change anything. Any clues ?

I had the same problem with my phone where basically Windows 7 refused to detect the phone (probably the drivers weren't being cleaned out properly when I reinstalled them). I think it maybe worth a shot if you got the time to try Ubuntu with Heimdall and just for kicks try it with a different USB cable if you haven't done so already.

dude try to uninstall the DRIVERS for the phone(usually found below KIES uninstall) and then install KIES again
Hope this helps
good luck

I gave it back to the store and they repaired it. Fortunately without any costs
Even my internal storage card hasnt been touched. My SGS is now stock 2.3.3 jvi

[Q] Boot loop without recovery and download mode

Hello everybody!
I've tried to find a solution, but without success.
Today I tried to install CWM on a french Galaxy S.
I've rooted the phone with z4root and after I started on download mod with adb.
Then with Odin3 I installed this file "Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v2.7-CWM3RFS.tar".
After that the phone rebooted automatically, unfortunately it's rebooting eachtime on the galaxy s logo.
The problem are that I can't boot on download mod or on CWM.
When the phone is off and I plug it on charger, it doesn't charge!
I think my phone is bricked.
Do you think you can help me or it's dead?
Is there a hard reboot procedure or something like that?
Thanks

I have exactly the same problem!

Are you sure you can't enter recovery? Volume up+home+power.

Yes i'm 1000% sure!
I can acess the Download Mode, but Odin/Heimdall does not recognize the USB connection...

Keep Trying
I know this is weird but keep hard resetting it. Try like 20 more times before you give up. Worked for me in the past I know it is weird. I had just flashed a new factory ROM.

I swear i have tried to enter the Recovery 20-30 times!!

It's fine
Hello,
I've bought an USB JIG for my SGS GT i9100 and I've been able to install ICS SLIM using Odin v3 1.7.
Very easy...
I advise this solution..

did u try vol down + home + power button to go to download mode? if it can do that, the problem is just find some driver to make odin recognize your phone. search for "usb driver for samsung galaxy s" in google
then you can bring back your phone to live by downloading any rom you want and flash it via odin
ps. but if you cannot go to download mode, JIG USB with 301 K ohm will help you look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0

Same problem here, I actually didn't see this in my search and made a new thread about it (feel free to delete). My computer had KIES on it so it had the drivers already and it's the same computer I went through the download mode before with so I have the drivers. I tried to reinstall them but still nothing.
I fear I may need to buy out my contract :crying:

I am sure that I am right with this. "If you root, do not use KIES" so you have to uninstall KIES and download separate USB driver.
Then it should see your phone when connect with ODIN
Hope you got your phone back alive soon

Sorry, I should have been more specific. When I reinstalled the drivers I had actually uninstalled KIES and installed just the drivers.
I do have an update though but still can't get it to boot completely. Late last night I decided to try to get download mode to work one last time before passing out and pressing Vol-, Home and Power actually brought me to the recovery screen for the first time in my phone's life! "F YA!" was the only thing I could think at the time so I first went through and formatted/wiped every option I could find then installed the CM9 that I knew worked and now I get to the alien with the matrix-esque background and it stops there. I plugged it in and left it on that screen all night and that guy was still staring at me this morning. I tried download mode again but my computer still doesn't recognize it.

Finally got it into download mode but computer did not detect unplugged phone now its stuck in cell ! computer icon and phone
turns on automatically when battery is inserted

The phone ! Computer screen is download mode. This has happened because the last time you tried to use Odin the cable was pulled to soon. Open the Odin one click your trying to use while the phone is on that screen, and plug in the USB. If Odin does not recognize it you can look here for connection issues.

Heimdall and Odin won't work on same USB port. Have you tried using a different one?
Kinda a shot in the dark but if you haven't tried it yet, put the jig in before the battery. Or try the jig a couple times (wait like 20-30sec in between) with the battery in, that worked for me before.

The funny thing is that Heimdall can recognize the phone on one click but i am trying to get odin to recognize so that i can switch roms... I preffer Odin to Heimdall so if anybody has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.
By the way if i am not in download mode and the phone is on and I connect it and have odin on, it actually recognizes the phone... so not sure...
Thanks for any help guys...

Have you tried another USB port? My experience with heidmall is that when you install it's own driver, Odin no longer recognizes the phone when you boot into download mode. If for some reason it still doesn't work, I suppose you could uninstall your captivate drivers and re install them.

Ok... cuz really i did feel that it was because of the one click heimdall that the driver might not be recognized... Mind pointing me to how to un install and then re install the driver on the phone...?
Thanks again for the quick response.

Heimdall installs it's own drivers to the USB port you use it on. You will have to use another USB port if you wanna use Odin (Your pc should have more than one).
You could uninstall the drivers but it is far more complicated than just using a different USB port.

location GPS antenna on i897. Well, then disassemble the phone and the antenna to be under the speaker if the speaker remove the antenna located in the top right corner of the board. Who can come up with how to enhance signal reception, write.
