[Q] please help..my captivate is not working - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys .
I am a new user of samsung captivate ..and i flashed my rom from fasty iii v1.3 to dlev v5 rom ..
it installed successfully ..but aftr rebooting ,my phone is not starting ..plz help .i am very tnsd

Did u disable the lag fix that was with Fasty before flashing Dlev ?
Can u get into Recovery to do this now if u did not before. If so do it, then wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, then reflash the Dlev Rom.
And if all of that fails, can u get into download mode ? If so, U may have to Odin to a stock Gingerbread with no bootloaders.

i am sry but i didnt knw that i have to remove the lag fix..
but the prb is ..i cant get in download or recovery mode..whenevr i press the power button..it shows "at&t" .then "galaxy s " and this keeps on repeating ..i am unable to do anything

You can use the button combo to get into recovery or download. --- Pull the battery, replace it and cover, hold down both volume up and down and power at the same time and then release when you see the at&t screen. That should boot u into recovery if you have i897 gingerbread bootloaders. I9000 gingerbread bootloaders is volume up + power button to get into recovery. Volume down + power to get into download.
I897 gingerbread bootloaders for download is phone off, hold volume +/- and insert micro usb into phone with usb end already connected to computer.

thanks a lot sir ..i have got into recovery mode ..can u plz xplain me in detail ..wat to do now..

Use the volume +/- to navigate up and down in the recovery and power button to select. Is there a "Disable lagfix" ??

no there is no option like "disable lagfix".
these are the options
*reboot
*apply update from sd card
*wipe data
*wipe cache partition
*install zip from sd card
*backup and restore
*mounts and storage
*advanced
*voodoo
*power off

Select voodoo, then u should be taken to more choices. Voodoo is the lagfix.

ok sir ..i have disabled lagfix in the voodoo menu ..
now ,wat i hav to do ??

select wipe data, wipe cache, then go to advanced and then wipe dalvik cache, then try reinstalling the dlev rom.

thanks a lot ..i wil just do that

it worked ..thanks a lot sir ..i am so grateful to u for ur help

Glad to help and glad you got it going. Have a good night.

gudnite ..tk care

Cappy stuck in boot loop
I tried installing gingerbread boot-loaders and everything seemed to go smoothly. Except for the fact that my phone is stuck in boot loop at the AT&T screen. I bought a jig and was able to get into download mode. I tried flashing to stock with Odin but it does not do anything and is still stuck in boot loop. I would greatly appreciate any help that would get my phone working again.

Are you saying you successfully flashed stock back but its still looping?

It seemed to flash successfully but once it rebooted I thought it would make it past the AT&T logo but it did not.

I use this one here:

What it's the build number on your phone? It's located under the battery. Should be a number like 1007, 1012 1101

SGS won't boot

Today I wantes to install the new Darky's Rom v9.0.2.
I downloaded everything, rootet my device (2.2 JPO) with Odin, installed Clockwork mode and started the update.zip.
At first i didn't wipe my sgs, just installed the zip. after some dialoge (This is Darky's Rom, installing this... done, etc) it rebooted and everything was as before, except for the forced closes. So I did a wipe and installed the zip again. This time there was some text too, but it rebooted too fast for me to read it. Then it stuck at the "Galaxy S, GT-I9000" logo, where it should enter the clockwork mode. I pressed vol up + home + power to give it another try, but now my phone won't go past the Samsung logo I already tried to remove the battery, or use the combination for the recovery and download mode but none of it helped.
If I plug in the battery charger, the battery logo shows, but it freezes while loading the battery status.
Is there a way to fix it? I just want the recovery mode to work again
Ask Darky its his rom does that not make more sense .
Or wipe the lot .

I cant wipe it when I cant get into the recovery mode..
so you cant get into recovery mode... What about Download mode ??
Download didn't work either..
Edit:
lol.. I removed the battery for about 10 minutes and tried it again. Recovery mode still wont work, and the phone doesnt shut down too, BUT the download mode works
so back to odin
thats your best bet these phones are pretty unbrickable lol. just a ball ache having to restore everything when summit goes wrong.
Yeah, it's really a pain in the ass -.-
I'm really relieved now though. I really thought I bricked it
I hope everything'll be fixed by midnight

Flash to v8.0 first, then flash to v9.0.2. That seems to be more stable.

You have to try the software smartflash, with that you will return to the stock rom! Are you sure that you can not get into Recovery? In recovery you enter by pressing the power button and volume -!!
i have this, it keeps going LG. off on LG. off on?
just take out battery. put battery in. while pressing POWER + VOL DOWN.
it will boot into CWM. well should. Only way i got out of it. or i would have rage thrown fone at wall.
I have done that but doesnt help..... I did install smart flash and it says flash successfull but still gets stuck at LG Logo..... This is some weard ****.... plz help

i had another problem ontop of this. (bad baseband and ril) meaning the battery was like charging then saying 98% then saying 3% then no wifi no sdcard(ext) etc. i was like NOOOOOOOOOOO... battery draining super fast. phone heating up. then i emergency try to re flash. (have no access to put files on sd card) re flashed the only zip on the sd card (lucky cm9) which has aroma launcher, enable me to do a FULL WIPE. then once into CM9 (after it freezes on boot screen (animation) for like 2 minutes. furioiusly pressing buttons wondering if batt is going flat, get into menu. hold power force reboot into recovery mode. (sometimes its really annoying to get into recovery cause hold to long reset/reload no recovery. sometimes easier to hold power in boot into recovery via PHONE CM9 loaded.
i figured out it was the kernel was making my baseband read as UNKNOWN even tho it could tell me the version. ha. only fix was to do a full wipe.
the problem you probably have is. NO WAY TO PUT ANY OTHER ROM/STOCK onto SD CARD cause you have no other device with USB MASS STORAGE SD CARD???
if you can do that, then your ok.
if you cant then you need to go into cwm.
do a restore. if you have a backup. if the backup is ext3 and you have used ex4 roms like CM7/9 then the recovery will fail. and you will still be bad...
try doing in CWM recovery (full wipe/reset/cache/dav etc) ? silly question im sure you would have tried everything.
hmm. the only solution is to get another ROM (ext4) unless u can get backtoext3.zip.
you need the files on the SD CARD.. then you should be ok . right?
Try booting into recovery and wiping the dalvik cache and the other caches maybe?

And also, what rom are you trying to flash? Make sure you have the right one for your phone! you can also try out other roms that may make the flashing go more smoothly

When I do the combo home+power+volume down I can only volume up to enter downloading mode or cancel. I go to download but what to do next?
It says downloading...do not turn off target but nothing about factory reset.
Thank you so much!!!
Sorry I'm new here
I had same problem.. Boot into CWM, not download mode, and factory reset worked for me.

Thanks but how do you get in CWM mode if you can't get into the phone?
Any other button combo I don't know?
The only thing I ca do is reboot in download mode
CWM = Vol UP + Home + Power

Did you update this way to official ICS?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25947847&postcount=4
If you already did above, then try this:
0. Disconnect USB
1. Power off
2. Hold vol+ & home & power, let go of power once you see Samsung logo
3. You'll be in a special recovery mode. From here you can choose factory reset.

Yeah, I thought maybe you skipped something. I had CheckROM v6 on mine, it's was gingerbread rom. I did a PC Odin upgrade using the stock ICS, and everything was still there working. I did do another factory reset tonight from the settings and not in the recovery menu. Could it be a corrupted download of stock ICS? Some people were saying if you had a custom ICS before, this method won't work. Are you able to put back stock gingerbread?
I have this same problem. Cant get past samsung logo. I tried flashing several times, did factory reset, just wont work. I flashed using heimdall, not odin, would that make a difference?
Flashed back to 2.3.6, that works fine. Tried reflashing official ics, same problem, stuck at samsung logo. Factory reset in cwm does not work. Any ideas?
Hey buddy, I had the same problem tonight when I tried to restart my phone after a build.prop update - changing the wifi interval from 15 to 120... doh!
Got stuck at the boot screen and so out of desperation I decided to wipe, it didnt work. I was still stuck.
So I flashed XXLC1 (Open Euro) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 with PC Odin and it came back ok . I lost root though but thats no biggie, at least I have a working phone now.
Hope that helps you. Good Luck!

[Q] Need help with Jelly Bean Rom

Hi,
I have Galaxy Note with 4.0.3 rooted already. I tried to installed the Ultimate JB v5.1 from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970626
Now I am having a problem. The Philz Touch 3 seems working now, but when I am trying to flash the rom. There is absolutely no progress BAR!
After 5-10 minutes the phone reboot itself. Then the JB rom was not installed. It stuck at a screen displays Installing applications.....
It will be like that forever.
and I can't go back to 4.0.3. I did not backup....
It seems like the OLD ICS is still on my phone but I can not enter the system. It says Installing Applications forever. Then if I connect a usb,
I actually can goto Setting, then I see the phone is still on 4.0.3.
Seems like I only partially wiped out the old ICS? I could not see the internalsd from my PC after connect the USB.
I have also formatted EMMC... am I screwed?
Is there a way to save the phone?
Please help.
Many many thanks
Tony
Are you able to go into download mode? If yes then flash a stock ics through pc odin. This should boot up your phone normally

Thanks for replying, I think I am able to Reboot Download from Philz Touch 3. I will certainly try that.
Currently it seems like I still have old system remained in my phone but partially. That might be why I could not boot.
I will try that option.
Thanks

Yes, there is; your phone boots so all is still well. Download odin, and put your phone into download mode (volume up + home + power; pressed at tge sane time it will automagically reboot and only when you see the galaxy note icon you release these buttons. Now also download a stock pre-rooted GINGERBREAD rom and glash this rom via odin, there will be 3 things to flash; csc, phone and if I remember corrrectly also modem. Now just let it boot and you will be safe again. Now you can experiment again....

it would have been easier if you had rooted your phone. in that way you can hard reset the phone by pressing the VOLUME DOWN + POWER for 15sec, after which you press the HOME KEY and then follow the pop up to continue.

The s3 mini cant be put into recovery mode using buttons so you have to download the android sdk from google, right click adb folder, open in command prompt and type in reboot recovery.
I have little bit higher problem!
I was flashing custom rom and i t was flashed when i tried to start phone it was just looking like dead phone no reactions anything please help
Is there a way to wipe the data through Odin. If I try through recovery mode then the phone crashes and restarts immediately. In fact if I try to do any of the operations that touch Data then it crashes and restarts the phone. Thanks
