I tried flashing Android 2.3 using Odin (downloaded the official ROM from XDA's Wiki) and although Odin said that the flash was successful, the phone itself doesn't work. When I tried turning the phone on, NOTHING. Tried plugging it into my laptop, NOTHING. Charging? You guessed it. NOTHING.
Long story short, the Captivate won't boot. The screen's all black. The phone won't get into download mode. And even Windows 7 doesn't recognize the phone anymore. HELP???
I think a jig might be what you need.

I can see by your post count, that you are new, well if the phone has no signs of life it is most likley hard bricked, like his,,, then he can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257434 this only works on linux!!! if that says so then look into the Unbrickable Mod as your phone might brick, but is totally recoverable with the Mod.
^What he said. If it is Hard bricked you have 2 options Unbrickable Mod or Jtag.

It sounds like what happened to me. I bricked my captivate within an hour of owning it. Then I developed UnBrickable Mod.
Do this.
1. Report this in the thread you downloaded this Odin flash. The Odin flash was made improperly. Or link it here and I will get it removed.
2. Use UnBrickable Mod to resurrect your device. This takes a steady hand for the hardware mod.
here is the crappiest news, i updated that wiki last night at 8 pm my time, 4 hours after you posted your issue. the old link, *i think* linked to a version with md5 checksum fail i believe, i was not sure so i changed it to a KNOWN working file link.
but if you had come accross my stock rom thread you would have been golden... the wikis arent that popular or often updated.
both files were not "created" they were the files used by keis to upgrade. but the first one someone uploaded to xda was corrupt, though i flashed the corrupt version by removing the md5 extention, and did not brick...
Thanks for the help, guys. Will install Ubuntu and see what the Captivate is doing.
Just to let you know, according to Windows 7, my phone's showing up as SEC S5PC110 Test B/D and no drivers are found.

Strange. I don't have the unbrickable mod.
The phone I have is a refurbished Captivate (replacement for my old one which broke due to something going wrong with my headphone jack. Rogers replaced my stock Captivate with a refurb).

Ok I was trying to flash new rom...so I flashed to stock...I used Odin3 V1.0 with 3 combo fix....but after the process finished in Odin...and it showed Reset....my phone should have rebooted right? But it didnt reboot...just got dead...I removed everything and tried to start it no use...even used jig...but its no responsive...I am not panicked (as it was my experimentation phone)...but trying to find what to do in that case...battery was full too....
Sorry for another "bricked phone" thread....
You get nothing at all even with a jig?
You may have fully bricked it. I know a person that can probably fix it if you want to put the $ into it. If not hopefully someone on here can help you.
The guy that fixed mine is known as connexion2005 on xda. He does the rom reviews on youtube.
Best of luck to you, I hope you get it going.

Hey guys I need to send my phone back for warranty replacement and I am afraid to use Odin one click, because I know it bricked a friends phone recently beyond even JIG repair. His was an 11.02 or something and mine is a 10.07.
All I have flashed is DG's Cognition if that helps.
What should I do to go back to factory stock, will oneclick kill mine like his?
I cant afford to brick this one so I just need some confirmation, thanks guys.
Odin back to stock is the preferred method. While there is risk of brick, it generally doesn't happen that often. I have used it countless times.
But Odin will bring you back to stock and wipe any evidence from having a custom ROM.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SBSMALFJ
*Also, you could always say you were trying to update via kies and it stopped working (if anything went wrong) They won't ever know and it'll just get flashed stock firmware once they get ahold of it anyway.
I believe you can flash back to stock using OdinOneClick. But just to be sure you can flash this package instead
--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995143
That package flashes everything but the two bootloaders and param.lfs. Meaning if anything goes wrong you still can use the combos or a jig to get back into download mode .
Just to double check you use:
Vol up, Vol down & power key to get into recovery mode?
&
Vol up, Vol down & usb cable to get into download mode?
It doesn't matter at all if you brick it. You're sending it in for a warranty replacement already. If odin one click bricks it tell them some bs about kies doing it.

Is it really necessary to post a useless post, with no information?
You really think I didn't search these insanely complicated and deep forums?
A friend of mine just ended up with a hard brick after using odinoneclick.
Something about a later build phone. But nobody seems to know much about this issue.
So needless to say I would like to be a bit cautious now.

About as necessary as you starting a new thread for a common issue instead of posting to an existing related thread. And the problem with later build phones (1008 and up) is also well documented in here. Be cautious all you want, but respect the forum by not starting redundant threads.

Just an FYI for all Windows 7 user about Odin3 (oneclick or otherwise) in general. Use Windows XP service pack 2 compatibly mode to make this run without getting locked up as often.
So I actually posted a thread detailing how to restore the Streak 7(Wifi only) back to stock. I put it into general in the main forum instead of under the streak 7 forum. So I am placing this here to lead to that post.

You need to download the Fastboot Restore files from here and follow the directions for putting your /system back to stock.

Make sure you get the right fastboot restore file for whichever update you're on. And if it seems like you're getting a bunch of errors in RSDLite when you try and fix your phone. Download the other fastboot files and try that one.

Install Kies (it installs needed drivers)
Make sure kies is not running then use overcome guide to re-stock/partition device (install safe-stock rom then overcome kernel/rom)
Put desired ICS based rom on sd, use recovery to wipe data/cache, flash.

I have verizon galaxy tab. Now I have a phone connecting to a pc sign with an exclamation mark in the triangle. Great, I think I accidentally disconnected the cable while it was flashing trough Odin.
The good news is Odin still sees the tab. I am not sure about Heimdall though.

You may want to try a stock rom from sammobile or the stock roms thread here. Not sure if the Overcome rom will boot on Verizon/CDMA?

My problem is heimdall. My pc is getting drivers for the tab for Haimdall to work. I tried pretty much everything with no luck. Since I had lots of experience with Odin. I am comfortable flashing trough Odin. But all the guides that I found recently is for Heimdall for some reason. I will try to use Heimdall on different pc(same win7 64bit) to see if that works. If not I need to find a way to flash it trough Odin.
you should really try to put ubuntu on usb stick.
Just download the iso of the latest and get unetbootin (free apps for windows too).
Use it to create USB stick, and it has option to leave spare space on the USB disk to allow for changes to be written on.
Boot it up and install heimdall.
