Try unrooting? Maybe flash a new rom/modem/kernel. Use your resources

Take a look at your modem, i'm guess when you flashed in Odin you applied a kernel with a different modem. Happened to me when I rooted the wife's cappy after the AT&T 2.3.5 upgrade. Checked the modem and sure enough it was changed so i just flashed back the stock KK4 kernel and all was good. There's a thread in this section that covers it.

ok is there anyway i could get all the right stuff together that way this will be fixed?...or could someone give me like links to the stuff i need and help me?

You can find a list of i897 modems here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843 (second post).
Download the zip, put it on your SD card, and flash it in CWM. You can also push them with Odin, just extract the modem.bin from the zip, put it in the phone slot in Odin, uncheck everything but autoreboot, and flash.
The list is oldish and doesn't have anything newer than KK1, but any of them should work. A quick search should turn up a KK4 flasher as well.

i didnt work

Your next bet would be to flash back to stock and start over. Something obviously went wrong along the way.

how do i do that

[Q] Help getting from Cognition2 beta5 back to stock, no Odin..

Hey there, i have searched around for a day or so and found a similar post on here but no real answers thus far. There is a ton of information out there so i may have missed it but my phone is having issues so i really need to wipe and go back to stock, then update from there...
Running Cognition v2.2 Beta5.5 UCJ16. Love the rom but i have had some issues and decided to upgrade to the new Cog rom then found out i cant without going back to stock first. Tried to do that with "Odin" but i get the USB not recognized when going into download mode, Odin will not pick up the phone. I did read the entire Odin faq and saw that other ppl have had this issue but did not really find a solution. I can get into dl mode fine and i've never ever had an issue with my cpu not picking up the phone via the USB until now. Tried the adb reboot, volume buttons, everything in the faq, it's a no go & all my drivers are up to date. So far i can't do anything and it's getting a bit frustrating lol.. I rooted with the Galaxy S One click Root by TGA_Gunnman, not sure if that helps any.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!!
Also meant to ask, if i can't go upgrade to the new version of cognition can i flash from that one to a different rom and them maybe back to 2.1? I'm not a noob to rooting and flashing i did my last 2 phones and have rooted this one, i haven't had one single problem with anything of my phones until this one...
Try a different us port the ones on the back seem to work better
Already tried that same result, it won't recognize the device. I have to go out of town in a few days and need my phone to quit acting up lol. If i can't get it resolved by tomorrow i guess i'll just start trying to flash other roms and see if i can find one it will take and go from there..

Usb debugging turned on? You have odin opened up BEFORE you put your phone in download mode? Technically you don't have to odin to stock you just have to odin to a Rom that has 2e recovery. So you could try that if you can't get one click odin to work.

Yes i tried it with de-bugging turned on and odin running before hand. Pretty much tried everything in the Odin thread and about everything else i could find with google. The phone's just acting funky and not accepting it

How are you putting your phone into download mode?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I'm getting into download mode through doing the volume up/down then inserting the usb cable with the sim and everything out. I believe it's method 3 listed in the Odin post, it does go into download mode but i still get "USB not recognized" from both the front and back ports..
Finally got it fixed! Just tried it out on my friends laptop and everything worked flawlessly. Must be a problem in my Desktops USB somewhere but it is still odd as it worked fine and still does, just didn't work with Odin. I've seen other people with the same issue hopefully someone else can learn from my mistakes....Just try another PC lol.

unplug the usb cable, reboot the phone.
(fyi, 3gs is an iphone, you mean 3g)
Thanks for the quock reply. I tried restarting the phone but it still not working..
What can be done to get 3g working?
Hmmm... I'd recommend loading a different modem or a different ROM. However, I'm not sure if I understood you correctly... can you make calls while on the stock ROM? If not, I'd return it to AT&T for an exchange.
Not working in stock too.. Will go to att store. Not sure they exchange the phone, but lets try with sim.

So you didn't have you sim card in did I read that correctly. If that is the case then yes you won't be able to do anything with the phone on the ATT network.
If that is not the case then yes I would look into returning it
I followed these steps and it worked fine now..

[Q] Kies killed me. Odin one clicked and now all is ATT!

Hi
Kies killed me when I was just trying to update to Froyo officially. Since then I used Odin 1 click and everything seems ok, except for the fact that its att now. I want to eventually get to official rogers 2.2 froyo with no gremlins lurking hidden in the file system. I downloaded the i896 rogers 2.2 rom. How can I install it so that my phone will be stock 2.2? Same boot loader, same rom, same everything as if the update had gone smoothly through kies. I want it to be rogers only.
Well, thanks to all for you help.
And a special thanks to the Kies programmers. I have bricked devices trying to install unofficial things before but I have never bricked a phone through official channels, Amazing work guys amazing.
Thanks to the xda community for again saving my rear
I think if you search there is a Odin for a stock rogers. I will have to look....
Try this thread for rogers stock rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846501&highlight=odin+rogers
Hi,
more problems. Even though ODIN said it was sucessful it just went to the battery icon. Now the phone shows att logo for a second, reboots and does it again. Not even sure if I can get back to download mode! All this for a friggin official update!
ok I need to calm down. But this is really upsetting
I have a AIO rogers 3.0 tool kit, and I have a stock rogers rom. I do not however know how to get it onto my phone. The odin program just has start.
The rogers AIO program has back up to stock but always says cannot communicate with device.
Please help, I have no idea why things have been so messed up.
same happen to a friens of mine that wanted to flash unleashthebeast...and he changed his mine after and i odin one clicked and it did the same...luckily he was under 30 days...but only other option is a jig.

oh and if u can get into download mode your good....if not...a jig
Seriously?
The only way to recover this phone is to make some crazy usb solder jiggy?
My phone shows only ATT or if USB is plugged in, a battery icon. No button combo is working for DL mode, where as it was before.
Any ideas on how else I could get this phone into dl mode?
Thanks again

Looks like you and I have a similar issue. Subbing to thread for hope.
What about using the AIO toolkit to at least get a working ATT branded phone? I too used the AIO toolkit to flash a custom rom on my Rogers phone and yes, though I don't believe it was supposed to the AIO toolkit put the ATT stock on rather than Rogers stock. However, at least you'd have a working phone at that point. Unless you need to return your phone you can use it as is until you find a proper solution.
I know it's a stopgap solution but working improperly is better than not working at all.

ATT bootscreen problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11327700&postcount=209
in case some of those guys confused you, a jig only helps you if you cant get into download mode. you already flashed successfully after the brick, right? you dont need a jig. follow the instuctions above.
if you get AIO toolkit working (rogers edition) DONT USE A PIT FILE, DONT RE-PARTITION, (pit file is for partitioning). the rogers stock images dont have dbdata to work after repartition. this is what screwed me the other day., and i was forced to use ODIN1 Click. and now have the same ATT bootscreen as you.
as im in the same boat ive been researching and the above method wont work. its only for i9000 based roms. not the stock based roms like the att. and the fix replaces a file named logo_ATNT.jpg (AT&T)
this *fix* isnt too much of a *fix* and i have yet to come across a rogers flash that will replace this att crap.
So that means if we were to return our captivates for a refund, we're stuck with the split second AT&T boot logo. I wonder if they'll mind...
if your phone breaks to the point that you must return it, *MAKE SURE* its broken enough that they cant read/use the phone. Sticking it to the back of a speaker magnet for 10 minutes should do. ive heard of using a microwave fore a few seconds but it may do visible damage.

[Q] I think its Bricked..and odin doesnt work

hey guys i have a captivate that i tried flashing and was successful then i tried again and the screen went black. im not sure if my battery died during the process or what but idk what to do. I cant get into recovery mode, i can only get into downloading mode but none of the odin's ive downloaded have recognized my device today. they worked fine yesterday. then i tried "hemidall one click" to try and get it back to stock but no luck. also when i try to power on I get the "Cornkernel" loading screen since that was the kernel i had loaded when it was working, but it fills the bar then shuts off. so it seems like im going to be at the mercy of a computer program since i am unable to access anything on the phone, right? I recently upgraded to gingerbread before all of the flashing of the new roms. all i want is to get back to either froyo or gingerbread, i dont really care, heck ill even take 2.1 at this point. if anyone knows whats going on and can help me thatd be great.
Thanks
Remember to use a rear usb hub for destop and run as admin. Heimdall will mess up your odin drivers.
You may also want to check out the captivate connection issues thread.
Also, to clarify further on prbassplayer's point about Heimdall, it will write its drivers over the drivers assigned to the USB port you are plugged into when it detects your phone. So if you have 4 USB ports and you use port 3 for Heimdall, it would look like this:
1 - Odin port
2 - Odin port
3 - Heimdall port
4 - Odin port
All this means is that you'll need to be aware of the port you used with Heimdall, or just reinstall the odin drivers (they'll overwrite the Heimdall setup).
OK so i tried what you mentioned in that thread on the connection issue and unfortunately it didn't work. is there a way i could start fresh? like delete all the drivers from my computer and then try it again, or do u not think that would work? im open to any ideas/suggestions right now because i hate having an extra paperweight and the thought of buying a new phone.
Don't know if this'll help or even why it worked for me but, when I had problems with odin recognizing my phone, I reinstalled/repaired samsung kies and odin would work for at least one flash.
Note: used full odin (not oneclick)
Good luck
hey guys thanks a bunch i finally got it to work. i had to use a different computer like you said. What a great feeling to have a functional phone again..
Thanks Again!!
So i got the phone back up and running android 2.1 and I would like to get it back to the stock 2.3 I had before the whole mess of rooting and stuff. but when i try to upgrade with kies or straight on the phone it ends up failing and telling me to try it again. any ideas why this is happening? or how to fix it.

Kies sucks lol
look at my sig the first "go to" has the One Click Odin file to get you to stock and rooted 2.3 ...should take no more then 5 mins to do it
the link on that page for the 1 click odin doesnt work.
Try looking >>HERE<<. There are more one clicks there than you will ever need (hopefully)
Thanks I think I might try one of those. But considering what happened earlier in the week i want to clarify/ask a few ?s about that page. How do I know which Gingerbread to use of the 3 listed? How do I know whether or not to click the one with or without the bootloader? I'm new at this with android but I used to flash roms on my old windows mobile htc TILT.

if you have never flashed GB bootloaders, you need to. Just oonce will work from that time forward. After you flash bootloaders, it's best to avoid them. A bad bootloader flash is one of the few things that will turn a Captivate into a paperwight. About which GB to use, I would say KK4. Its the same as the Official KK4 that was released. So to recap, flash bootloaders only once, then use no bootloader packages after that.
Im not sure if I unlocked them or not honestly. I know i had the phone rooted at one point and was running Cerberus rom. is there any way for me to check?
If you don't know, flash them.
ok i apologize in advance if this is a stupid obvious question..i got the odin one click and i was looking at the page u referred to me to and im wondering what the kernel is for? you cant place it in the odin one click obviously so is that just to keep things together or do i actually need it?
The kernel links are just to use if you want to root the stock rom. You have to use full Odin for those. Stick with the one click until you feel more comfortable in flashing AND do a lot research before your next flash.
so i got the KK1 gingerbread working and everything seems to work fine but now my data doesnt work. So I cant get ATT 3g or edge or anything the only internet i recieve is wifi. anyone know why this is? or how to fix it. ive tried a reboot and nothing ive tried changing the settings under network settings.

[Q] [i9001][RESOLVED]Odin stuck in flashing KQB

So a few hours ago, i tried to flash the value pack (XXKQB) ROM on my Galaxy S Plus,it started normally but sort of freezed on ˝setupconnection˝
The phone was still in download mode,and after about 20 minutes of siting there,restarted the phone since nothing was happening, and it´s safe (for now ).
It should look like this,right?(see attachment)

WRONG VERSION OF ODIN heh,silly me

I have no idea what you are doing . How did you set up Odin? did it detect your phone? Have you closed all Kies applications? You could post a link to the thread you got the download from... (Did you ask the thread where you got the download from?) Why is there only one file? Is it meant to be like that? (I know some roms can be zipped/tarred so you only need one file but is this that sort of file?)
The list can go on and on. Please provide more information... What is the status of your phone now? Can you boot up to your home screen or are you stuck at soft-brick screen? I ask this because i don't understand what safe means. I would consider a soft brick safe because i know what to do when i have one... Re-flash!
So to that image. I am assuming this is how you set up odin BEFORE you connected your phone. I would suggest tick re-partition, this WILL factory reset your phone. A suggestions not always necessary, read the thread. If you are on GB already then i don't think you need to. Also usually you are still required to have a .pit file. (I haven't flashed via odin in a long time, so things may have changed) Check you don't need one.
Finally sometimes when i flash via odin, it get stuck i think at the same point you do. I have to unplug and take battery out. If i boot up i get two symbols with a line of some sort in the middle. In this case i go back to download mode and re-flash and it flashes correctly this time.
Sorry for the long message its just the more information the better and quicker people can help. Hope i helped, if not please provide as much information as possible

Replace Odin, and install the files as in the screenshot, the debug mode on the phone, turn off your phone, enter in the flashing mode after 3 buttons.
