Using your computer and usb cable, remove the battery from the phone. Plug the pc side of the cable into your pc. Put the battery back in the phone. Hold the volume up and volume down buttons. While holding the buttons, plug in the phone side of the usb cable and continue holding. You should be in download mode within a few moments. View my clip for a how-to video session on this...
Reply if this worked. It SHOULD work as you have soft bricked and this is a way of entering download mode during a soft brick of the phone.

This is your second option.
Any luck with suggested solutions?
nothing with just the buttons, but im fixing to buy the micro usb breakboard and see what happens
Or you can buy a JIG from me!

Did you try the volume button method with plugging in the USB cable into the phone while it's plugged into the computer? It sounds like you are just doing the volume buttons plus power button method. The JiG is for HARD bricks which doesn't sound like it's what you have. Although it will work for SOFT bricks also.

First post, been lurking a while though. I actually had the same problem, and fixed it this way last night. Took me about 30 tries and lots of sweat before I figured it out though

yeah I have been doing it with the cable connected to the computer and then hold down the buttons and connect the phone, but still all I see is the empty battery and black screen

how long did you hold the buttons up and down after you connected the cable? iv held it for 2 mins and nothing!
Ugh. This is the way to do the button combo:
Step 1 remove the battery, open odin3 the one click jh6.
Step 2 plug in the usb and hold the volume up, volume down, and power.buttons.
Step 3 put in the battery and release the power button but keep holding the volume up/down buttons.
Step 4 press download. This puts the phone in download mode. I found this method when I had a soft brick. Umyou don't need a jig since you can still boot to the white screen. This will work.

I will try this method, as I am in the same boat as the others here. I have already placed my order for the USB Jig but am hoping that this method will work.
However, under step 4, you indicate that you "press download." What do you mean by this? Where is the "download" button? On odin3, the only buttons I saw were start and master clear. Is the download button an option on the Captivate?
To my knowledge, there is no "Download" button on ODIN or a Captivate in a semi-bricked state.
Edit:
If those directions don't work, you might also try a method I've had success with.
1. Remove battery, SIM card, and MicroSD (if you have one) from the phone
2. Wait at least 10 seconds with the phone having no power source
3. Hold Vol Up/Down, don't let go
4. Insert battery
5. If it worked, in a few seconds you should see Download Mode

I think Im really screwed I have done everything that has been posted previosly and nothing seem to work. as soon I connect to my computer odin3 dose not do anything it's as though nothing is connected and my phone goes to that empty battery with the frozen loading star or what ever its called, it also does that when I connect it to the AC outlet.
Still waiting on the jig to arrive I think thats my last hope!
Why doesn't anyone use adb to get into download? The only time you HAVE use the 3 button is if you get phone!Pc screen. If your phone can get to the att screen, open command prompt, change directory to adb tools location, and type adb reboot download. Do all this before you hook your phone up to the computer. When you're ready connect phone to pc, turn it on, right after you see the att splash screen and hear that your phone is connected press enter.

how do you use a adb to get into download mode? is there a link you can hook me up with instructions I would really appreciated it.
Hello everyone
I own a Samsung ACE S5830. Recently the power button stopped working -- which was annoying, but I could live with. I just wouldn't lock the phone manually.
But now, finally, the thing I feared has happened: I let the battery run down.
My question is, of course: Is there any way to boot the phone other than the power button? Perhaps over USB?
Should the phone show up in adb devices's list, even if it is off? Because it doesn't, but I may be doing something wrong.
I am out of warranty -- so I'll have to get the phone serviced. Is it worth it, or should I just buy a new device?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Sorry to reply to myself.
Just wanted to let you know I suceeded in booting the thing. I don't really know how -- just hitting random keys while removing and re-inserting the battery, connected to usb.
I am starting to wonder if perhaps the power button does at least partially work -- any way I could test it? Obviously it doesn't perform normally, that is, not locking, booting, holding to get the shutdown menu, etc.

Hey!
If you can enter to DOWNLOAD mode(hold together 3 buttons[HOME+POWER+VOL DOWN]), then its probably working.
CHEERS!
Maybe this will be the solution:
1. Hold Home button
2. Connect to usb (or charger) still holding Home button
3. When in recovery menu, unplug usb
4. Select reboot system now
5. Succes?

Hi, I'm new to the xda forum although I've been reading it for about a year, I did search but unfortunately I couldn't find an answer to my problem.
My captivate got bricked when Odin froze during flashing, now I get the (phone) /!\ (Computer) screen, the computer isn't detecting my phone so I can't use that screen as download mode and adb isn't seeing the device, 3 button combos don't work because my power button doesn't work, I ordered a jig but everywhere I read it says that you insert the jig while the phone is powered down, but in my case as soon as I put the battery in the phone turns on (because the power button is stuck), so my question is, will the jig work from the (phone) /!\ (Computer) screen, if not what else can I do?
Thanks in advance,
Nik

I tried it but to no avail, to be honest I wasn't surprised as I didn't have connection issues until I got bricked so I that screen won't work as download mode, so will the jig work from that screen? If not what else can I do, any way to get the power button working without taking it apart? Any advice is very appreciated.
Thanks,
Nik
as bwolf56 said, you should be able to flash with the screen you srr seeing.
to get odin to see phone, try this-
start odin on pc.
leave battery out of phone.
hold up and down volume keys while connecting usb cable. release volume up and down keys.
If the above post by laughingT doesn't work (but it should)...
When ya get the Jig, try inserting it in 1st and then replace the battery. Maybe that will work even with ur power button problem.

Connecting the usb cable acts just like putting the battery in, therefor, it should power it up. Although, if it doesn't (give it a few tries), try with inserting the battery as well.
Also, using another pc sometimes work.

You can take the phone apart and using electrical contact cleaner you can spray the button down and click it repeatedly and then repeat several times. That has worked for me in the past but only temporarily. I would just wait for the jig though. Also when you get the jig, remove your battery plug the jig in and then replace the battery since your power button isn't working. If it's going to go into download mode that will do it.

Thanks, glad to hear from someone with the same button problem haha, I heard about spraying it but after taking it apart I wasn't sure if I should spray directly at the button or behind it(I didn't have the spray anyway, just wanted to have a look in-case I have to do it). I'll wait for the jig and see how that goes.
I've had the problem where I couldn't connect to the computer from that screen as well.
The jig did the trick. Went out to the local Radioshack, purchased the resistors, and used them to start the phone. Sometimes that screen will act as download mode, sometimes it wont. For the times it wont, having a jig is always handy
I went ahead and purchased a pre-made jig as well. Just for backup.

Try holding one of the volume buttons while pressing power. A friend of mine had the same problem and we found this workaround accidentally.

Sorry to correct you, but it's power and volume UP ! not down! Of course what's important is to have the phone connected via USB cable to a PC, or pen drive, power bank etc, otherwise it will just boot to normal Android OS.

Not necessarily, any USB-C to USB-A cable should work. Make sure the phone is completely switched off. You need to press vol up+power for some time until the Samsung splash screen changes to the recovery mode.

Is this of any help:
Have you enabled developer mode and you have it set up for USB debugging already? If so you can use the ADB command line to restart your phone by issuing the following from a command prompt in the directory you installed ADB/Fastboot or anywhere if you put them in your path variable -- "ADB reboot recovery"
If you're not having any luck with that, you may need to reset (NOT factory reset, that will wipe everything) press and hold the volume down key and the bixby/power key and hold them for a 15 second count, even when the device powers off. This combination will power it off no matter what. After the slow count of 15, release the keys, plug in your USB cable, and press and hold power/volume up key as the previous posters instructed you - until the phone starts and you see the logo - this should boot you into recovery mode as well.
Is your phone booting into the system? If so, a 3rd option you may avail yourself of is an restarting app for non-rooted devices such as Shutdown, there are several, read the descriptions and pick your poison from the Google play store (If you're running a stock device make sure the app you choose doesn't require root) it will however, require you to grant accessibility permissions - full control of device and SHUTDOWN in order to function - and that will give you the option to reboot to recovery mode.
Good Luck, L4XS
