Hey everybody,
A few weeks ago my Captivate lock button stopped working. I am under the impression that it is a software glitch, but I haven't had time to play with it until now. I finally got the phone to show up on my computer (it was stuck booting into ClockworkMOD, but the select button didn't work. So I basically had a useless phone). I used Odin and flashed to 2.3.3 with Master Clear thinking it would fix the glitch and everything would work like normal again, but I was wrong. The lock button still doesn't work, and now I don't have my phone rooted. I want to flash back to stock Eclair, maybe that will fix this glitch, but I can't get into download mode. No button combo, no adb...nothing.
I'm here, because I want to know if anybody else has this problem, or if there is a fix that I can't find searching all over the Internet. Or if anybody knows how to root the Captivate without going into download mode.
Thanks in advance

the home button also functions as a select button in CWM
How were you able to get into download mode with the power button not working? Just curious, because I am having the same problem. Building a JIG now

Hi,
I've got a very big problem:
Today I tried to install a new custom ROM to my ADP1.
I've tried a lot but finally got to the step where I wanted to update the bootloader. After running the update the device was starting again but was reset after 2 seconds.
Since that time I'm not able to start my device again. I can press the power button or other button combinations but no vibration or screen that is showing anything.
Guys, I know that it was dump to do that and my fault so please no comments on that.
Has anyone any idea what I can do to get my device started again and get into any menu?
meinereiner
first problem....wrong section
have you tried holding home+power or camera+power when turning on?
if either of these get you anywhere then it can be fixed
there is no reason why you shouldnt be able to if it was just a rom flash gone bad
if it works, SEARCH, if not, sell it or get a doner
Moved as not Android Development.
Sorry for taking the wrong section, thanks for moving ...
Unfortunately Ive already tried tried all these combinations. No chance to get it alive :-(
okay im getting completely frantic right now, i tried to flash the newest cognition ROM from stock 2.1 rooted from recover and it all loaded fine but i kept getting force closes com.android.phone or something and then i was like okay ill just restore my last backup and did that but now it wont boot past the at&t world phone screen and i cant get into recovery. ive read other threads about this but theyre all different situations so i wanted help for my specific situation. i love all the devs help and hard work on this site and i hope my phone is not bricked because ive only had it for about 2 weeks. so please a fast response would be appreciated, i would like to have my phone fixed by tonight thanks in advance guys oh and also i am able to get into download mode i just dont know what that does.
no one knows?
nevermind everyone i got it using odin
Just reflash use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439 or you can search for odin one click by DG.
Odin. You will be fine. Just search and read. Be careful what you do and try your best to understand what you are doing before you panic.
You were getting fc on cog so instead of reading and re -flashing you panicked then flashed a 2. 1 back up over 2. 2 with voodoo lagfix active. :O it is not the end of the world. I do hope you have a PC and not a MAC. Odin will flash you back to stock but you will need to search and read. Good luck

I think I'm in a similar boat... tried to flash back to JH7 after getting tired of froyo versions that I didn't like. Now I'm stuck at the AT&T screen and nothing works... no matter what button I hold while I power the phone on, I get nothing. Any advice?
Update: I think I may have something here... found a guide talking about JTAG stuff that suggested holding both volume buttons while plugging in the USB cable... seems to have gotten me to the "downloading..." screen. That's a plus.
Hey guys,
I've got a realy big problem with my galaxy. It's not possible to start it anymore. Nothing happens when I try to turn it on, I don't even get the first boot screen.
My phone is t-mobile branded and I tried to do this, to get the download mode working (sry, i can't post the link cos i have no permission):
[FIX][110% SAFE][UPDATE: 15.Nov.2010] 3-button combo FiX for Selected Firmwares
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821698
After applying the update.zip the flash starts but the phone did't restart after a few seconds like posted.
I already removed everything (battery, sim card, sd card) but nothing happens.
Please help!

Can you go to download mode? If yes, then flash a firmware from odin as mentioned above. Else return is the only option provided you haven't left any trace of manipulation on your phone...
Had the same thing. The phone didn't even react after connecting to the charger.
I had to give it to Samsung, got it back after almost two weeks. But it came back unbranded
Alrighty. The other night, I had download mode. I updated to a new Kernal.
Today I try to access it, and I have:
POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE.
Now, I've googled, and none of the threads really answer the question. What do I have to do to get into download mode to flash a new kernal?

It's all right. Nobody starts from 100 anyway. it's always 0. working up..
Hello guys, I am completely new to this forum, first post actually. I recently rooted my new Samsung Galaxy S2 and installed the latest Cyanogenmod7 for AT&T SGH-i777. Everything went fairly smooth and was not too difficult after hours of research. As I navigated the system I found some glitches and decided to go back to stock ROM. Being a noob, I think I installed the wrong Kernel while trying to revert. At this point, I am unable to do much more than get into clockwork mod recovery boot screen with power, up/down volume. While in the screen which is orange rather than blue before, up and down will navigate the options but tapping an option does nothing but reset back to the list. I can not reboot, power off or anything for that matter. I have been trying for hours to get into download mode and all I get is the Samsung Galaxy S2 and then a black screen like nothing has happened. For whatever reason the Samsung Boot screen says i9100 when my phon is SGH-i777 for AT&T. Not sure if what I am dealing with is a bricked phone or if I need some experiential knowledge within this forum to work magic. Any help with resolving this issue is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any time given, Incloud!
Hope this is appropriate for this section.
Long story short...went to flash back to stock from serendipity 5.12 (i think?) using odin one click, which has worked for me before. Unfortunately, it froze during the process, and, me being a dumbass, unhooked my phone from the comp, and now all I can get is the phone - ! - computer screen.
I know that there are threads on how to fix this, but as of right now, the search function isn't working for me, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently on spring break and not having a phone is terrible.
Oh yeah, my phone is a 1007 build if that helps at all.
Hopefully somebody can help.
thanks
****fixed it, sorry for the new thread...mods can delete****
<<Missed your edit>>
try putting it in download mode by holding volume up and down keys and inserting USB cable. If you can put your phone is download mode than you can use Full Odin...and get back to flash......there are many other ways to put your phone in download mode..see general section as well...if everything fails use Jig..there are threads to make home made jig or buy it from somewhere
this will help you out:

I figured it out, thanks though. I can use the button combos for download mode, it just wasn't working for a second, which threw me off
