Try reflashing back to ICS, then try the Jig. That's what I had to do.

If you can get into recovery try flashing MyICS beta 1.12.11. On this rom my PC recognized my phone easily. It's a great rom but if you don't like it at least you should be able to use Odin.

U might be better off posting in that thread, or updating ur thread title to reflect CM7 to get answers faster.
Have you read the CM7 thread in Dev? This ROM is not yet fully functional, so unless you know what you're doing I would stick to more tested ROMs.

Try a different USB port or computer. Also make sure you get into download mode using the button combos.

Well use a different port. Also make sure you have Odin open before you plug your phone in

Is this on your screen or in Odin. Part of the instruction was to not enable autoboot, so of course after the kernel flash the phone... well it does not boot. If Odin completed its steps and the blue status bar on your phone screen is complete then unplug pull battery three button recovery follow other steps
If it is in Odin I would ask if you had ext 4 enabled as instructions stated before kernel flash
As to why one would install cm7, you only have to run it for a couple minutes to realize it is out of this world. Believe the hype

Because it is fully functional. Most people do not have any force closes or issues that are listed. This is by far the best rom available because of 2.3.3 imo

Continuum v5.1, v5.2 got big trouble

Hi Experts,
I have a Cappy and i love Continuum 5 ROM. I never miss any versions from beta2 to RC 3, everything is ok, but now when contimuum v5.1 was released. I tried to flash it but i got a big problem in that version. The first, i encountered Boot Loop issue while booting, but it's not the biggest problem, my cappy is still boot up to the home screen, and here everything was became very bad. My Cappy got lag and cant interact with return and it reboot automatic after that.
Now, when v5.1 was released, i believed it'll be fixed, but it's still exists. .
my cappy cant boot up to home screen. it repeats booting to continuum animation and restart forever.
can anybody give me a suggestion for turning my cappy back !!!!!!!! Please help
Did you have full battery? I made this mistake too... Be sure that you did everything correctly..
Sent from my captivate using XDA App
I would suspect you could simply use the 1-CLICK ODIN program to restore the phone then follow the steps carefully for 5.1 (which is a pretty awesome ROM btw)
I'm sure i charged full battery before flashing.

i flashed to stock room with odin3 1.7 (using PDA + PIT files. i did that successful many times with 2.2 ). but now, with 2.3.3 i got brick( maybe lost boot), although flashed by odin without any errors ( 1 succeed/ failed 0) .
now i cant make the cappy go to download mode. please helppppp.
3 buttons with no interaction !!
sounds like u flashed a stock rom that didnt have old bootloader, safe way to have done it is with non 3 button fix odinoneclick flash to stock. dunno if a JIG will help u get back into download mode

Get a jig and use it to get into DL mode. Please make 100% sure you know what you are doing before you flash.

Use command command prompt. "/android" Then "adb shell" then "su" then "roboot download" might not work with adb but could give it a try

Your best bet is the jig. If that doesnt work then I would try and get a warrenty replacment. I went over the thread and it stated that if you get a bootloop you should boot into recovery and reflash the rom, did you do that?

If you lost bootloader then you will have to JTAG, if your under warranty you can say you were updating to froyo and it turned off and never turned back on

i was having some issues gettin my captivate into download mode using odin to go back to stock also. what worked for me however was to have usb plugged into comp and phone and THEN hold volume up and down. port was then recognized and i went to download. badda bing badda boom.

right. i got a bootloop when flash to v5.2. i tried to flash the rom in recovery mode many times, but it's still exists. even i flash back to RC3. i got only the android text animation on the screen.
thus i have to flash to the stock by that way. and now i got a brick
I've had problems in the past with getting to download mode on the cappy. I did some googling trying to find a way, ended up finding a very good page on it:
http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode
I hope that helps.
Had the same problem with my cappy. The problem is that after all you did, you have one bootloader from i9000 and another from i897. The jig won`t help. I`ve found the people that recovered the phone with JTAG.

Unable to access download mode on 2.1

I did the Odin one click to bring my phone back to full stock after having issues. i then downloaded ROM manager from the market, since i am running 2.1 eclair i just flashed it via the app. now to upgrade to a new rom, i need to enter download mode. I thought you could always hold in the power buttons and plug in the usb cable, but that isnt working. this CWM version doesnt have a rebbot recovery option in advanced either. really need download mode, any experts got a tip or two..
You may want to check out the "Captivate Connection Issues" thread. That should get you to download or recovery mode.
Also, it's probably best to let go of Rom Manager - it's not very useful on the Captivate.
now i am at
phone--/!\--PC
and my computer isnt recognizing the phone, as well as Odin is not either...
I'd say to keep trying, and try Heimdall if you haven't already. The phone--/!\--pc screen should work as a download mode.

Yeah it didn't work for me as download mode. I just went to radio shack bought some resisiters and made a little USB jig that got me into the regular download mode though.

Nope, not a brick. You probably have a working button combination, but the recovery simply isn't there. You need to boot into download mode and flash a kernel.

Try holding volume up + volume down and then plug in the USB cord that is plugged into your PC. This should take you to download mode. If this doesn't help you will have to purchase a jig
