Hi all,
I was flashing between Jf6 and JH7 today, wanted to see if flashing JH7 via different methods would give me a 3 button fix. (If it did fix it then flashing via Kies mini didn't do the job)
Ironically it backfired when Odin froze and I flipped out the battery
(Hey, I've been at the dl screen before when it was doing nothing and it survived!)
I plug the USB in, I get the exclamation screen
Do it with volume keys pressed, still get it
Hold down the volume + power and the screen goes blinking between exclamation and blank. I've tried releasing power keys at each point in those screens
I even took a video incase I'm not doing it right. Odin is running in the background. No USB plug-in 'pings' from Windows, as you can hear.
Anything I can do?
btw my bat build date is 8/13.. that bad week
I'm in Australia (bought phone off ebay) so sending it back to the States will be a bit of trouble.. I'm hoping I can work something out with the ebay seller otherwise I'll buy another cappy and hope someone finds the jtag points I guess.
same here. no button combo method that previous worked is working now. :/
OP, did you see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775911
not working for me, but maybe it'll help you ... ?

You may also want to try removing and then reinstalling the Samsung USB drivers on your PC.
I've verified there is simply no USB device being registered no matter what OS, the phone is just sucking power.
@The_Bishop: Did see that, exactly the same as yours, plug usb in, get that screen
Anyone want to be awesome and send my Capppy back to Samsung on my behalf?
best method that never dies when i was in your situation......
unplug usb, turn phone off, then put battery in, turn odin on, now hold volume buttons ONLY then insert usb in phone, you will see download mode with odin identifying the port;
hope it worked ?!?!?!?
Believe me I have tried everything. There is simply was and still is no way to enter recovery or download mode on this phone. Its hardware locked!
a little off topic, but how do i find my phones "bat build date" ?
I had the exact same problem. If you do a battery pull.. hold down both volume buttons and plug the usb cable into the phone while it's hooked to PC then it bumps you into Download mode. I did the exact same thing you did and am running froyo at the moment.
Oh.. no power button.. just both volume buttons.

Done that. Exactly what happens in video. Both volume buttons down, plug in usb.. no response, just brick screen.
I had the same problem.. the phone didn't register USB.. have you rebooted the computer? I believe i did that at one point.

I did try once or twice. From another thread it was also said to disable driver verification on windows startup for x64 machines. which I also did.
Basically I want to hear from someone who:
a) has a captivate that could never enter dl/rescue via buttons, only adb
b) captivate didn't trigger a plug in 'ping' from Windows until they ??
FYI this is a Macbook Pro, and I booted into Win7 x64 Pro for flashing.
Hi I have the same problem..
What I did was this rooted with one click.. loaded Cognition 2.1.6 all was good..I saw the froyo so I thought lets try it. so opened up ODIN put it in recovery mode. with ADB could never get it in the button way.. it started to load and it froze. I didn't disable voodoo and IS THAT WHY I AM STUCK? I have tried every combo changed drivers computer will not see the phone.. is it a AT&T Phone
IS there anyway to fix it?? or can someone make a program to fix this? I would make a big donation if they did!!!
Thanks Forum!!
Yeah I had it in adb mode to enter download mode, maybe that is why it won't start back up.
I've now given the phone to a local mobile repair business, if riffbox or someone comes out with a Captivate rescue soon its probably as a end result of me
I sent mine back to Samsung as well. BTW, I have a battery from 2010.08.12 so I might be in the same boat. Wish I'd have used one of my OEMs to see if that made any difference, but I did not. :/
I have the same issue.
Rooted my phone through adb, which was fine. Couldn't get into recovery/download modes with hardware before then.
Now my phone is bricked, and not detected or even charging via USB.
wtf
If the repair shop cant fix it try this:
1.) Remove Battery, SIM Card and External SD
OR
2.) Press and HOLD VOL UP AND DOWN with USB inserted and THEN slap in the battery.
This worked for me, for some reason inserting the battery last did the trick.
Let me know if anyone finds a solution to this I have tried it all and my computer will not detect my phone. Has Samsung blocked this in there firmware?
Did you try what I posted above?
yep nothing if I could get it to detect in command prompt I could force it but it won't... the button thing didn't even work when the phone worked!
So ....
Ok, so I had my Captivate flashed back to stock and had it rooted. I decided to update from JF6 to JH7 through Kies Mini. After it finished updating, my phone was stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S screen and then it turned black, but the buttons still light up.
I already tried doing the 3 button recovery/download mode in every way possible, but my phone won't seem to go into recovery mode or download mode no matter what I do.
When I leave the usb cable plugged into the phone as I turn it on, my computer plays the notification sound where a device has been connected, but still black screen on the phone. Happens when the AT&T screen loads, wonder if that would help somehow
Please help!

If you had usb debugging enabled you can send a "adb reboot download" or "adb reboot recovery" command to reboot the phone. If not then you probably have to make one of those usb jig's with the 301k resistor.
But you should still be able to enter download mode if you pull the battery, press the vol up/down and put the battery back. My stock phone couldn't enter recovery but it could get into download mode, keep trying.
Hmmmm. Still doesn't work when I pull out the battery, plug in the usb cable, hold the volume + and - down, and put the battery back on. It just shows the battery charging.
i have something similiar just have battery showing and wheel spinning when connected to pc or AT&T logo flashing if powered on and can't get into download mode...How does one get back to reality at this point.
your phone does not have the button combinations required to enter either download or recovery mode. I guess what you should have done before doing anything to your phone was test the button combinations in case something screwed up. then you should have flashed stock with the odin package posted in the development forum with the 3 button fix. I had to do this for my friend's captivated after realizing the button fix was disabled, but I hadn't broken the booting of the phone then. but now to fix it, other than trying to use adb to reboot into download, I have no idea what to do.
Looks like you'll need to make a JIG. Here's one thread on it:

Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hmy captivate died after flashing Axura using clockwork
now I can not boot up the phone, unplug the battery for 15 Min and put it back but still the same can not boot up the phone....
please help
You need to figure out a way to get into Download Mode, use ODIN, and flash back to JF6. Once you have JF6 running, you can flash whatever rom you want again.
If you search, you'll see a bunch of posts on the different methods to get to Download Mode.
Goodluck.
Yes, I know if I get download mode I can flash whatever rom, but the problem is that the phone completely dead nothing shown in the screen, I have tried the following
1- try the combination of Vol down + Power
2- try the combination of Vol up + Vol Down + Power
3- try Vol down and then connect USB
4- try Vol down + Vol Up and then connect USB
all these while opening ODIN
also I tried this on both windows 7, and windows XP.
do you have any other suggestions to do.
please help
Still have the problem, need heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp please
How did it exactly die? It'd be useful for people who may know a solution. I've heard of JIG a few times.
you get the little home lights on the bottom of the phone to light up at least?
Also.. does the computer recognize the device?
If not and it's completely black screen and you don't even feel it vibrate while booting? Its toast.
But.. try doing the battery/sim card pull - hold down both volume buttons plug in the USB and jam in the batter and see if that works.
Or.. to the ATT warranty center you shall go.
I was flashing Axura rom using clockwork recovery, and after complete the installation and start reboot this back screen comes on, now not booting at all
Odin not recognize the phone, or even the computer does not detect any connected device,
I tried pull the battery, wait for 15 min then connect the USB, hold vol up, down and power keys then put the battery back while holding these three keys nothing happen, the screen still black and the computer not detect it.
I tired all ways but nothing works with me.
Now I think it is complete died, Even I tried the hair dryer trick but nothing works.

I did connect the JIG for 10 sec then disconnect it, then connect the phone to the computer while ODIN open, but nothing happen the computer still not detecting the phone, also the screen still black, it does not even any sign of responding except it get heated when connect it to charger.

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.

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.

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

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.
I was flashing this 3 button fix with Clockworkmod recovery. After applying the update from zip, everything seemed to be working fine, so I pulled the battery so I could test it out without having to use CWR's reboot option, then waiting for it to boot and shut off. When I tried to turn it back on, nothing happened. I tried to boot it with the recovery 3 button combo and it didn't respond(still a completely black screen).
Also, I'm not sure whether or not CWR was actually flashed. I was accessing using the update.zip found in this thread. When booting into recovery, I got into the normal recovery screen, and it was only after I hit "reinstall packages" that I got into CWR. It was through this method that I tried to install the 3-button fix.
What I've tried:
This key combo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775911
The phone didn't respond at all.
Switching the battery for a fully charged one. Still no response.
Inserted my homemade USB jig to no avail. I've tested it with a different Captivate and I've confirmed that it works.
Anyone got any ideas or "magic" key combos I should try. If not, would it be possible to send it into Samsung/AT&T and get it repaired/replaced?
EDIT: I think I'm in the same situation as these guys: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977086
It's a build 1008 that I'm working with.
I'm on a similar issue. Phone is dead, no response to anything at all. Not even my previous jig that I used last time.
But it happened while I was flashing with Odin one click. Got stuck at the factoryfs.rfs step. Had to unplug it but after that I never came back up
I ordered a premade usb jig, and it'll arrive next week. If that doesn't work then I'm thinking of getting a cheap one off ebay, I can't spend another $500 considering this phone is only 4 months old.
The other choice is getting a broken phone for even less money, and replace the motherboard. But I don't know if there are considerable differences between phone batches.
I'll be Android-less for the next two weeks though, and that truly sucks.
Which build is your phone? It's located behind the battery to the left of one of the barcodes. I've heard that 2010 and 2012 break when used with odin one click.
Have you guys tried the volume up and down trick right after you put battery back in while its connected by usb to the PC? I bricked my phone to the point where it would not even turn on and finally was able to get it back into download by using that method. Kind of tricky but you plug phone into usb to pc. Take battery out, while holding volume up and down put battery in and keep holding until download screen comes up. I hope that works for you, if you havent tried yet
I have gone so far as to brick my phone to the point where it would not turn on. After a few hours it was only a screen RST_STATUS 0x0. The one post you linked says to hold vol up/down and power. But try not pressing power..only up and down. I could not get mine to do anything until I tried someone else's method of not pressing power and only volume buttons
I had a soft brick last night. Phone would start with Phone ++ PC connect picture, nothing else. And here's what I did to get into Download:
- Pull SIM out
- Pull MicroSD out
- Pull Battery out
- Put Battery back in
- Hold Vol Down button (only the vol down)
- Plug USB cable in
- Phone boots into Download mode
The 3-button or Vol UP and DN key trick didn't work. Only the Vol DN and USB plug-in worked for me. I hope you have good luck.
My first time using Odin One Click presented me with a similar situation, stalled after it said "DO NOT UNPLUG..." ... I don't have a Jig but nothing else I tried was working...Held down power button to be presented with a black screen, no backlight or anything...
Pulled the battery out, waited a full 30 seconds (battery pulls less than that didn't work for me) and put it back in, Volume Up + Down and plugged in USB and it worked.
Best of luck to you. I was feeling kind of queasy after finding out my first attempt at flashing could have been disastrous.
If you are hard bricked and have no response even with a JIG, I can still fix it for you. Just PM me for questions...
This happened a few times to me. I remove the battery, open odin one click, hold up and down vol buttons, then plug in the usb cable. It typically throws me.back into dl mode. Be sure you are using JV6 (see Icezar's post in Dev section) when going back to stock because it doesnt include bootloaders and makes hard bricking less likely.

Hi
I tried upgrading from ice cream sandwich to jellybean and ended up bricking my phone when the flashing failed and I panicked and unplugged my phone. I think it failed because i was flashing something for a different model rather than the i1900t as this is the New Zealand/Australian model. I cant find any button combos that will put my phone into download mode and the phone doesn't turn on. The only life that it seems to exhibit is get warm around the sim card area when i put the battery in. Help.

Download mode is vol down+power on the GB bootloaders. But if a JIG doesn't get you in download mode, there are 2 possible reasons: 1st- Battery isn't charged. 2nd- Your phone is bricked.
If it's the 2nd one then your only hope is with mobiletechvideos .com (Connexion2005 on xda). He can use his JTAG to push the GB bootloaders into your phone.
