Today while flashing to a ROM I wiped all data/factory reset to then installed it.
I've tried making a "JIG" And cant go into download mode.
I tried using the button combination to put it into download to use Odine3
But cant. I also tried recovery mode but cant get into that either. Everythinh I have tried will not work. All it is doing is showing AT&T boot logo then it shows Galaxy S Cyanogen(Mod) Logo.
Please help me. I have tried the Jig the every style button combination and still nothing.
Try buying a jig. Making one involves a lot of hit and miss variables.
If you built the jig right it should work.
Does your computer recognize the device if you connect it?

I used clockwork mod and formatted all of the options including system and etc etc
UnBrickable mod is easier then 3 button fixes or jigs.. Simply remove the battery, replace the battery, plug into USB, then click the "Download Mode" button. After that, use a Heimdall One-Click to flash software. There's no fooling around with timing or trying to get the order correct, or anything... it just goes into download mode every time.
Just thought I'd put that in here. I like UBM, it's great.
I did the same, you found the solution?
I followed the same "idiot" guide of how to flash it into recovery or back to the stock version.
Screen at & t appears and restarts again and again.
I can't enter in the download mode. I tried all the combinations of the 3 buttons and nothing.
You could find a solution? help please..

You have a few options and these options are as much as we can help you here.
1) Keep trying the button combos. It just might work one of these times. If you ever get it into download mode then try to flash it back to stock immediately.
2) Buy a Jig. They are available for cheap and will probably help you out. They force your phone into download mode and will allow you to flash it then.
3) Do the unbrickable mod. This involves sending your phone off for a few days, spending some cash, and having it worked on. It will come back in working order and there are even ways to have the person who worked on it flash a custom rom for you.
These are your options. And honestly, more than telling you the above, I dont think there is much more help we can offer here.
EDIT: Holy hell I just realized this post is from April. I just wasted a few minutes typing all of that. Damn.

Hello guys,
I think my SGS is screwed, but maybe with a factory reset I can get it atleast to work...
Atm the phone is in a bootloop after trying to update my light'ning rom. It starts up with the normal "Galaxy S GT-1000" and below "Samsung" screen, after which I only see a messy pixelated screen instead of the usual animation. Shortly after it goes back to the previous screen. This repeats itselfs endlessly.
The phone does go into download mode, using the 3 buuton combo, but my pc does not recognize it. I tried everything, reinstalling drivers, kies, etc, on several pc's/laptops. After some messing around witn battery in and out I do get it into recovery mode, but it is onreadable. The first galaxy S screen is still visable and the recovery menu is in a different resolution then normal above that, making it impossible to read and go through the menu.
I was hoping anyone could give me some step by step guideness through it, so I can try if a factory reset does anything.
dont know if it will help but boot into recovery
volume down button 2 times
power button once
volume up button 5 times
power button once
that will do a factory reset and see if it fixes ya

If you got USB-debugging enabled, you can try to force it to recovery using adb:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
If not you will have to reflash your ROM using odin (a ton of guides for that)
Odin will only work if I get the USB bug fixed, wich I can't. Specially since I cant even start up android. No debugging there...
I can get into download mode, so that leaves me with some hope the phone is still fixable...
Ayone else tips?

Thanx, it seemed to do the reset (there did happen things that looked like one, haha) but sadly no succes so far....
all I can do now is try to get to my download folder blind and reinstall the rom that is in the download folder... I have no clue wich nr folder the download folder is, but that is just a matter of endless trying ...
so have you managed to get the phone recognised by the PC ?
if not, try heimdall, i hear that works for issues like yours - something about installing a custom driver for the USB ??? i dont know ive never had to use it luckily
SGS usb drivers
For the drivers you could try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
there is also a link in samfirmware.com
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-programandroid.htm
with drivers.
I had a similar problem yesterday ( Broken boot, no recovery mode, only download mode with no USB recognition,) but after trying to reinstall some drivers it worked and now my phone is back online thanks to odin and samfirmware.
Hi all,
I recently got a samsung i9000 after owning an htc desire for a while.... I was more than happy with cm7 on the htc so i rooted etc and installed it on my galaxy... but it seems that its a bit more buggy on the i9000 port and i had loads of force closes and my phone was pretty unusable... so i then used clockwork recovery to install what i believed was the correct version of darky's rom 10.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091) and now im stuck in a bootloop... when i turn it on for 'normal' use, the original GALAXY S logo comes up (the one that says SAMSUNG at the bottom of the screen.... then it switches to the GALAXY S logo with cyanogen(mod) underneath it, then it restarts and im back to the original SAMSUNG logo.
I've tried to enter download mode (vol down, home then power) and when i do this, it just restarts with the original logo in a loop until i let go, then the cyanogen(mod) logo comes up.
Ive downloaded kies and odin to a fresh machine, but when i connect the phone over usb, I get the litter circular timer icon lighting up my phone for a few seconds, then the cyanogen(mod) screen comes up for a few seconds.... and then reboots....
Anyone got a way out for me? ive been without a phone for a few days and its really hurting now!
So you can't get into download mode??, did you flash back to stock rom before flashing Darky's? Because with CM7 a froyo bootloader is needed, and with Darky's a GB bootloader is needed. If you can get into recovery, go to mounts and storage, format system, data, cache, and datadata. Then pull battery out and try getting into download mode again Vol down + home + power. Report back dude

No I'm afraid not, their are two other things you could try....using adb booting into download mode from their....or a jig....that will force it into download mode, u in the UK??

I guess you need a jig to get into download mode. after that, try to flash to different ROMs and see if you have fix the problem.
If you internal sd card is physically damaged, try this method here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188482
Yep, Im in the UK.... I dont think the internal sd is damaged as it was fine before flashing darkies rom... Ive not used adb to try and force a 'download mode' before.... handy link to a tute?
sorry for my brevety, im quickly writing this at work!

i have bricked my step dads captivate. i put Cyanogenmod 9 on his phone he has been using it for a while now but he wanted to go back to the stock rom that came on the phone. i made a back up before i installed cm9 but when i was restoring it back to stock it said error restoring boot image then stopped so i tried it again the it went black. now every time i try to turn it on it gets stuck at the at&t world phone screen and wont do anything. so i made a jig to get it into download mode so i could flash it back to stock. but now on my widows 7 computer it says usb device not recognized. it gives a error code 43, and says device has malfunctioned. i have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them but the same message keeps popping up. i don't know what to do now im all out of ideas and i cant find anything that relates to my problem anywhere on the internet. please someone help me!!!
See the Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help stickied thread in the General Forum.
Also u could try one of the Heimdall One Clicks instead of Odin.......see the stickied thread in the Dev Forum of the Master Collection of Stock Rom One Clicks.

No one tells you that you can't restore a factory image from CWM... but as you have seen, you can't. :thumbup:
Sent from my aokp_tenderloin using xda premium
seen this just few days back.... if you get stuck at the at&t screen, phone is soft-bricked and you dont need a jig to solve that problem.
I was under similar impression first, then read a post about a ROM installation and found out that to get to download mode, you can hold both the volume buttons and connect the phone to the usb with computer (phone initially is turned off) ... dont press the power button... this will give you download mode.... once in download mode ODIN to stock, root, flash to any ROM that you like by carefully following the instruction to "T".
i couldn't post outside link but look for captivate wikia download mode on google. it will give you a site with all options of bricked phone and solutions.
Hello I'm new to posting on these forums but I have been reading them for a while.
Anyway I installed cyanogenmod 10.1.3 on my captivate and every thing was working fine, until one day every time I would boot up the phone it would go straight to CWM recovery.
I put the phone into download mode using the 3 button combo, and decided I would just put it back to stock (I used this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989).
Well it finished doing its thing and I booted up the phone but it kept looping the, "att world phone" screen. So I tried putting the phone into download mode using the buttons, but every time I plug in the USB cable the battery icon shows up. I used all the combinations I could find, and nothing worked.,So I bought a USB jig.
Well when a plug in the jig nothing happens ( I even tried different batteries). I tested the jig on my friends focus flash and it works. I have a video below showing everything. I was hoping someone could help me out, it would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time
