[Q] Cappy boot-loop brick.. used jig, now not seen by odin - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all:
So i tried flashing back to 2.1 yesterday on my i897 Cappy so that I could root the phone. Got the boot-loop of the flashing charging/ or if not plugged in the rebooting AT&T world phone screen.
I build a jig and got to the download screen, but Odin and cmd "adb devices" cannot find my phone.
I have the samsung drivers installed and all, and cant figure out how my computer can see my phone when its only in DL mode.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

follow up
A little bit more info:
I've tried with 2 computers now with the drivers and odin-oneclick to see if the device would be recognized, but so far nothing. I've also tried everything else under the sun i've seen on different posts/forums, but nothing works (ex. pulling battery and re-doing the jig-2-download mode, re-installing drivers, etc)
If anyone has any clue please help thanks

Plug into a port on the back of computer (#1 on a laptop). Reboot the computer. Open Odin before plugging in phone. If on a win 7 or vista machine, run Odin as administrator. Download Kies (full version, not mini) and go into tools to install those drivers. Make sure you have a good cable. That's every suggestion I have. Hope one helps.

going to give it a wack now

flashed back to 2.1 successfully... thanks for the help.. odin run as admin, but could not be one-click... that was my problem..
One click will not see the device if it is boot-looped, but if you download full odin it sees it.
Also, dont know if this was a fix/problem, but the sim card had to be removed.
Thanks for the help!
/gettin cyogen now .. will post how it goes

Please help...big problem....

Big problem. Suddenly my phone will not turn on. Sits at the white Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen and does not boot. When I put it into download mode and plug it into computer, its suddenly saying "USB Device Not Recognized".
What do I do? PC won't recognize it, it wont boot. can't flash it.....I'm freaking out here...
Did you flash anything to it or root it?

Hi Rick. Try to re-install samsung usb drivers. during this time, take out the battery from the phone. once finished installing the drivers, put back the battery into the phone. Go into downloading mode. Fire up odin, put in the necessary firmwares + pit files. Once done, then CONNECT your phone to the usb port of your computer.
Hope it's okay.
Edit: Let's hope that it is the computer usb drivers are corrupted. Alterntively, if you still can't do it, try it on another pc.
Nope. I was rebooting it to flash XXJPC to it, but couldnt do so because it was saying that USB message and wouldnt detect it. So I went into recovery, did a factory reset, and now it wont boot.
Another computer does the same thing *tears*
*BUMP*
Lets try a different route. I will pay a generous sum of money to anyone who offers to and does manage to fix this for me?
rick, looking at this, if your usb is not recognised, it is either the pc or the phone usb port might be damaged.
if it is a hardware issue, then use the bounty to get it fix.
I was at that same point with my vibrant. After failed attempts of getting into download mode using buttons, here's what I did.
Download and install samsung usb drivers and android sdk.
Plug into the computer and use adb to get into download mode (adb reboot download).
Then flash with odin.
Doing that worked for me when nothing else would. Try it ?

I can get into download mode just fine.....my pc just doesnt recognize the usb device. tried 3 differente pc's, 2 running win7 and one running xp.
Did you install usb drivers on each of the machines?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
I installed the samsung USB driver executable. and I also tried to use those drivers that it installs to manually update the "unknown USB device" in device manager, but they won't take.
Try uninstalling all drivers, then stick a MicroSD in your phone before plugging it into the usb.
Assuming you have Samsung Kies in your PC, try to upgrade it at 1.5.1.10074_45.
How long do you wait the boot?? The first boot after flash is very long, wait at least 5 minutes with flashing "S".
I did not just flash anything. My phone got really hot and laggy (as I was using it while charging it via USB port) and so I rebooted phone in an attempt to resolve the lag. when I did, it would not go past the WHITE Samsung Galaxy S I9000 screen, does not get to the flashing S screen.

if i understood you correctly, you have two separate problems:
a) your phone does not boot up
b) your phone is not recognized by any computer when plugged in
could be a coincidence, but probably is not. i'm guessing your bootloader got screwed up somehow. if it is a coincidence, it could be that your usb port on the phone is effed, or your usb cable is dead. try first using a different cable and see if your phone can be recognized by any computer. perhaps then you can go into download mode and reflash.
also, have a look at this post, might help you (although, if your usb is effed, there's not much point in trying any solution that involves your phone being connected to a computer): http://androidforums.com/780720-post3.html
EDIT: also, have your tried the obvious stuff, like pulling battery?
I ve seen many threads with the white screen problem ... it has in most cases been the drivers ... you desinstall all drivers from pc using Kies option for resinstall the drivers ... then you pull the battery off few sec (give it a min or two) then you get to download mode and you flash the beast ... dont connect your phone before launching odin or else it will not be recognized ...
for the few other people who didn't manage to fix it ... it was a hardware failure
That post you linked, is worth a try. But its for a motorola.....Where do I get my SGS bootloader to use instead?
ohh you were implying to try to use the motorola usb drivers?

I never said anything about a white screen. and I am not uneducated on flashing SGS, or using Odin. Far from it. My phone was first showing USB symbol when it wasnt plugged into USB port, then phone started running really hot while charging and got really bloated like it was overheating. So I rebooted and its now force closing at the first boot animation. I can get into download mode and recovery, but will not recognize in any of the 3 computers all running different versions of windows on them, with either of my USB cables that I tried.

Try Odin 1 Click. You'll find it on here somewhere. It wil take you back to stock 2.1 Eclair. Then you can READ ABOUT flashing other ROMs and proceed from there.

im sorry but most of us can't even help you IF we want to The users of windows based PC's are greater in this forums compared to Macs. if there is drivers for mac, are they installed?
Since you only have a Mac, I would suggest installing Windows through Boot-Camp (included in Mac OSX) on a different partition. I read Galaxy S doesn't have drivers support for Mac OSX Leopart or later, not entirely sure if its true though, but I do have a MacBook Pro and had no success in finding a way to connect my phone to it by USB... Good thing I had a regular old Windows PC Desktop.
Then as Jack Man said, use Odin 1-Click found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
to reset your phone completely to factory settings, relatively simple to do as long as you read the instructions on that post. =)
Well since you only have a Mac and hiemidal is not see your phone i think your only option is to find a friend with a PC and give the Odin 1 click a try.
i ask my aunt for her pc,

Sir, just in case, did you reboot after installing drivers and BEFORE you tried connecting the device? Also, did you check if Odin detected your device when its connected in Download mode?
yes, and thats what in trying to do, to get odin to detect my phone in download mode...
Ok, is your phone detected by the operating system? If it does, then try using this other Odin thread instead, this one however will restore it to Stock Samsung Galaxy with 2.3 Gingerbread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249
Don't have to follow the rest of the instructions to root it just in case, but see if that version of Odin detects your phone.
actually thats the problem... windows vista doesnt recognize my device, either my mac... is there a solution to my phone or not? please help

What USB port are you using if ots a desktop computer. There are known issues using front usb, plug into the usb on the back of the tower.

[Q] odin not recognizing my captivate

I have a Samsung Captivate and its running cyanogenmod 7. I notice the bad battery life so i want to flash back to stock. I usually use odin but with this rom odin is not recognizing the phone. I put my phone in download mode and gadget serial pops up at the bottom and thats it. Now my phone isnt getting past the att logo. idk what to do for odin to recognize my phone. I have all the captivate drivers. Does it has something to do that my phone thinks its a nexsus S now.
PLEASE HELP
Yes your missing the correct drivers. Check for AOSP or Google usb drivers. CM7 is not based on the SGH-i897 so the drivers wont recognize your phone.
where can i find that. i think i did all of that. today i downloaded android sdk and something google revision 4.some site told me to do that but nothing working. my phone is stuck at the att logo, wont go in recovery, and odin wnt recognize the phone in download mode. idk what to do !

First, uninstall all the captivate-related USB drivers you currently have installed (best to start clean), and reboot your computer.
Then, try doing the instructions on this page. Once you have those drivers installed, reboot your computer and then hook your phone up again. That should (in theory) get you going.
my phone only going in download mode. i tried all that. every time i connect the phone in download mode it says gadget serial

Just install SDK and you will have the drivers. CM7 is based of Nexus S, SKD has those drivers.
then ill be able to use odin ?

Galaxy TAB P1000 NOT Detecting in ODIN

Hello xda users,
I need HELP !
I have a galaxy tab P1000
currently froyo 2.2
wanted to upgrade to GB
Tried the Odin way from another link on this site (MANUAL updation for galaxy tab(p1000) into 2.3.3 gingerbread ), it failed and the Tab got soft bricked,
somehow managed to unbrick it, now its back to its original fw, but it keeps restarting in a loop until i switchd the damn thing off completely
I have tried to go in download mode to flash but odin doesnt recognise it , tried differnt computers too, no use.
I have gone in recovery mode, hard reset, wipe cache , still when i switch it on, it goes in a reboot loop.
tried to use heimdall. cant get sucess as i might not understand how to use it properly
Please help.
Sincere thanks to you if you can help me get my tab up and running., if not in GB atleast back in froyo.
(PS- i im not worried about my data , and i have not backed up the rom etc before doing any of these)
Try to reinstall or install a usb driver from samsung
tried that before , didnt work
anyway now i managed to get it detected on ODIN and flashed it to GB
Libon
Yeah, happened to me too, nearly had a sh*t my pants when Odin didn't recognise my Tab.
I would recommend -
charge the Tab fully using wall adapter (4 hrs+)
plug it in with Odin open and using USB cable
don't expect Odin to recognise the Tab immediately
check back after 5 mins or so (I don't know, does Odin refresh?)
I was able to restore my Tab from the PC - ! - Marvin screen.
I don't want to go back there again though!
yea dude.. same here
i kept it on charge for a couple of hours and then tried.. bam it conencts..

My Galaxy tab also doesn't connect to usb after cache wiped humber os flash
Thanks in advance guys!..
Earlier I was using Cyanogen mode 10 Custom ROM but has few issues like recognize SD card.
later I flashed to Humber OS caused real problem.
It was clock work recovery installed but my tab tab boots stays on screen humber OS.
It goes to recovery mode, and also to some unknown recovery mode.
Either the way not recognized by computer. I tried all options like heimtal an Odin. No help.
Friends any help, would be highly appreciated.
BUMP
Any solution to this given the fact that usb drivers have been installed?
Are you sure it is recognised by the computer before trying Odin or Heimdall?

4 Reasons Why Odin is Not Detecting Your Android Device:
Reason 1: No drivers installed for your phone
Most of the time Odin is not able to detect your phone, simply because you haven’t installed the drivers for your phone. Normally windows would automatically download the respective drivers for your phone from the internet and install it. But in case it isn’t able to do so, you need to download the drivers from your phone manufacturer’s website.
Reason 2: Inferior quality or damaged USB cable
Odin is very sensitive to low quality or damaged USB cables, which is a major reason why odin will detect your android phone in file transfer mode but fail to detect it in download mode. You might have a genuine USB cable that came with your Android phone but with time its quality will depreciate, which is why you might have to get a new USB cable.
Reason 3: Odin is corrupted
This happened once with a reader on my blog, we tried everything to solve his problem, but in the end using a different version of Odin worked out for him.
Reason 4: USB port is defective
Defective USB ports can also be a reason for Odin not detecting your Android phone. This was a problem faced by one of my readers and plugging the USB cable in another USB port worked out for him.
#######################################################################
and I need install cwm recovery on a twrp recovery and just do that with this app:
ROM Manager
if you want do same job; you can download it from google play easily!
and install recovery,rom or restore backup with it.

reason 1: my phone is samsung and it's detected by ODIN, kies and I transfer files from and to my computer without problems. also tried reinstalling just in case but nothing, so I guess this is not the answer for my problem
reason 2: tried with original cable, but as I didn't use the tablet for a long time I also thought it could be the cable, so I asked a friend of mine if he could lend me one cable, but that didn't work. pity. :/
reason 3: tried 3 different versions of ODIN, and in every version my phone (mentioned above) is detected. shame. :S
reason 4: tried the 3 different USB ports in my laptop. two 2.0 USB ports and one 3.0 USB port, so again I doubt this is the reason of my problem.
extra reason: ~~~ maybe it's the OS version ~~~ // this laptop came with windows 8 preinstalled. nothing. then, I updated to win 8.1. again nothing. now I'm running windows 10 and the same, nothing is detected neither by ODIN nor the computer. also tried in 4 different computers running win xp, win 7 and other with win 8.1.
btw, thank you anyway for your apportation; this may help other people, but unfortunately, it's not my case, so can anybody else join me to think about a new reason and a way to solve it? thank you very much :good: :highfive: :fingers-crossed:
~~~~~~~~~~~~ EDIT ~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have continued researching and found a software. it didn't work for me, but maybe it works for other people.
-first, you have to make sure you have java installed on your computer.
-second, extract the oneclick.rar file on an easy-access directory.
-third, put your tab on download mode (while charging icon when tab is turned off, press power + volume down until a yellow triangle appears).
-fourth, click start unsoft-brick and let the magic begin! 8)
note: if a warning error pops up, trust the software and click on resolution center and follow the instructions of one of the three "alternative ways".

Reinstall your drivers. After installing the Heimdall driver, your driver that you need for Odin is borked.
i have reinstalled the phone drivers many times. i eaven downloaded them from samsung and tried that that. when i plug my phone in the computer will say installing drivers then it says completed. i restarted computer right click odin run as admin but nothing shows up in the com box..

oh and just help someone else who may be having these issues. yes you can unplug the phone as long as its not already flashing a rom. never unplug if already in the middle of flashing or you will brick the phone. to get out of download mode if you are not in the middle of a flash. if you find yourself like me and have put the phone in download mode and odin or whatever you are using will not recognize it or maybe you forgot to check usb debugging then unplug phone from computer remove battery for a few seconds and the phone should boot normally. tahnks guys for all the help i really appreciate it

If you connect your phone to the PC and then go to the computer's Device Manager, is it recognizing the phone correctly? Or are you getting the yellow exclamation point over the icon?
I use Heimdall when doing Odin tasks. It is an Open Source equivalent to Odin available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. I'm not too familiar with Windows problems because I have been on Linux for the past 7 years. I have only used Windows in those years for updates to a Captivate that only worked through Kies, and rooting an Acer tablet with a Windows only tool.

Have you tried Kies?
Is your phone stock or modified?

Glad you got it to work. I hope you were able to accomplish what you needed while you were at your friends.

Yes, I was able to Root the device with Towelroot after reverting from 4.4.2 Build NH3 to 4.4.2 Build NE3, Now I just have to get this thing home to "Fix" the IMEI number. One must be rooted before being able to "Fix" the IMEI number. I wish Samsung would just cut the **** with these unnecessary updates.....
This is one for the books. Must have just been a finicky phone..... Didn't like my computers, cables, or something.
