Can you get into download mode?

What rom were you trying to flash? And what version of Odin were you using?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

That happened to me...kind of like a snow screen but multi colored???
The problem was that the kernel was not compatible with the rom.
I was able to get mine into DL mode with a jig I made and re flashed a verified compatible kernel and all was well.

Its not bricked you just need to boot into download mode and use odin one click back to stock or flash the right kernel
Sent from my Captivate

I had this happen last month also, it was a bad flash going from Stock 2.2 to Continuum I think. Culprit was a cheap cable, so look out for that next time. Built a jig from the connector of the cable and all was well in Cappy-land.

You are not bricked.
If you can't get into download mode via buttons, build the jig.
it's really easier then it looks (it looked intimidating at first).
And once you do it successfully you will feel better about yourself.
it may take a few tries specially if you don't follow the instructions correctly

Bricked my captivate, Tried many thing

So i replace an odex file which i shouldnt have and the phone wouldnt boot. I tried to delete cache and partition to reinstall a rom but CWM wouldnt read my sd, just the interal one. My phone was recognizing in odin one click and now it says device not recognized. I can still enter download mode with the volume up/down but it still wont recognize. I really need help so anything would be great.
Thanks - MaDDaWg

Boot into the bootloader if you can and do a full complete recovery back to stock settings and reroot from there.
I Haz 3D!

Im kind of a noob, i only know how to go into download mode on the phone. how do i get into bootloader. also what would i recover it.
thanks.

Since I dont know about the captivate that much it should not be different by much since its android. You need to download the STOCK ROM for your phone. Basically it is the software your phone came with out of the box. You need to put it on your zipcard and boot into bootloader(ask a fellow captivate owner how to get into this) and it will recognize the stock rom zip if named correctly and automatically update/restore your phone. Then you can reroot and install your recovery and start all over.
I Haz 3D!

Thanks for the help man, i was able to reflash it eventually. the weird thing is that now if i connect as mass storage once, it wont do it again without restarting the phone.

Are you plugging your phone into a USB port that's closest to the motherboard? Odin is finicky. Is your USB cable good? What Rom were you running when you messed up your phone?

I was using the front USB ports. the cable is good i just got the phone and its been working. I was using 2.2, which is what came on it. i dont know the exact rom that was on it but i believe it was stock. i was thinking about putting the cyanogenmod on it now. Do you think its better than stock?

[Q] Download Mode Gone?? WTF

So I recently made a thread how adb wasn't working and that evolved into not being able to get into download mode. Now after not being able to get into download mode for days, I'm still stuck on cm7 with no way of getting back to stock. 3-button recovery won't work, the only way to get into recovery is adb reboot recovery. No button and cable methods work to get phone into download mode as well as adb reboot download. I even recently tried http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lojU5bvGz3c which is a makeshift usb jig. I successfully made it but it would only turn the phone on. WTF. I'm afraid to buy a real usb jig from online because it most likely will cause the same thing. What is there to do? I'm completely lost. The phone works, the rom is okay I just cannot get back to stock and get rid of cm7. There are lots of issues I need to fix and cannot because of this. Any ideas?????
EDIT: Now I'm completely f'ed. I tried flashing cm7 instead of MIUI again to try once more if I would have better luck on just cm7, but during flash in cwm the phone turned off because the battery compartment was loose and now the phone boots up and goes into recovery shows some code then turns off again

(This post just in case anyone missed the reason in the edit)
Reason: EDIT: FIXED! Don't know what happened. Rearranged resistors and tried again and finally got it

I just went back to cm7/miui and it happened again. Nothing to get into download mode is working. What's wrong with cm7 on my phone?

What's your process to get CM7/Miui installed?
On a side note, ADB won't connect to your device unless you have the Nexus S drivers installed on you computer when CM7/Miui is installed

When I was last on cm7 adb reboot download doesn't work.
Drivers installed
Just sayin
Sent from my unbrickable cappy *bam*

yeah, i distinctly remember the first CM7 build threads that came up here saying that adb reboot download DOES NOT work, and you DO need working 3 buttons or a jig
not sure why that was removed from the threads

A jig should work
You might be coming into contact with the resistors (I can't watch that youtube video from work--firewalled--so I don't know what the setup looks like). Any contact with the them will make it not work. Try insulating them more with some heavy packing tape.
I cut up my mini-usb plug from my car charger (didn't need it), and peeled off all the plastic so I could easily touch the correct two pins with the jig when the hacked up mini-usb is plugged in. Works like a charm. Sometimes if you aren't touching them just right, or if one end of the pin is touching the wrong point the power will come on.
Try harder with the jig, I guarantee you it will work (and you shouldn't have to buy one--it's too easy to do yourself for less than $2 and about 5 minutes).
Good luck!

Just a thought. Are you installing GB boot loaders before flashing CM7/Miui? If so, the way to get into Recovery/Download mode changes. Recovery is vol+/power, Download is Vol-/power.
Just thought I'd toss that out there...just in case

That is only for I9000 GB bootloaders.
On I897 GB bootloaders its still the same as eclair/froyo!

Thanks a ton for the info on GB i've been beating my head trying to get my Mesmerize flashed to a rooted EH09. The vol down button was teh trick i needed.

No download Mode after I897 GB Bootloaders on CM7
Hi there, i've got a question. If i can't get into download mode using the 3 button combination nor the Vol- + Power nor the connect+press buttons+insert baterry trick , do i have chance to get into download mode using the YIG? Thank you
I've lost the 3combo after installing the GB bootloaders with CM7 but the Odin Connection was lost on the SBL, The phone is not even Powering on anymore

If your phone has no signs of life at all, then sadly you are hard bricked...
But it can be fixed through jtag or the unbrickable mod.

So is there hope?

Yes, according to those that have done jtag or the unbrickable mod, these methods are successful. To get better info though, I would recommend going to those specific threads.

I don't think you need jtag (but you can look into it). If your phone is able to at least power on, you should be able to use a Jig to get it into download mode. That is what I did with mine when all the options fail.
good luck.

If the phone doesn't show any signs of life (wich it wont if he failed on sbl) Jtag or Unbrickable Mod would be your 2 best bet. (Id use Unbrickable mode since it will protect you from future issues.)

Sorry haven't checked this thread in a while. My process for going to cm7/miui is flashing stock eclair through odin one click, then rooting and installing cwm. From there I just flash the latest nightly or whatever it is. Nothing I'm doing seems to be wrong

The problem is that I should be able to get into download mode without having to use a jig every single time. 3 button combo should work, but it doesn't when using cm7/miui for some reason

[Q] What kind of brick would this be considered and steps to fix it

My Captivate is currently in a state where it can boot up and it reaches the Cognition boot screen and does nothing further. When trying to use the 2 button+usb cord method to enter download mode the phone loads the charging battery but the animation is frozen.
Would this be considered a soft or hard brick? I'm not familiar with the factors that constitute the differences between the two. Is is a soft brick because the phone can still turn on or is it a hard brick because download mode is unreachable?
I was a user of Cognition 5 v1.00 but as support of the rom by the developer seemed to waiver I felt myself looking for a new GB Rom for my phone. I first flashed Cognition 4.5.3 onto my phone in order to have a stable Rom on my phone until I could decide upon the GB Rom I wanted to try. I decided to flash CM7 and began following the steps outlined in the thread. I formatted my system, data, and cache partitions but upon reboot I reached the point where I am currently.
I have not yet tried the jig as I do not have it on hand at my school apartment. Button combos, the usb cord, and the one click unbrick have not solved the problem and I would like to know if their are any other methods I could use to enter download mode until I am able to procure my jig and try that method.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Soft Bricked
You are whats considered soft bricked. Id recommend pulling out battery, SIM and SD. Open odin with with admin rights. Plug your phone to the computer, press volume up and down and insert battery. If that doesn't work then I would suggest making/buying a jig and flash back to stock (eclair, froyo or GB). As to how to get CM7 to work I can't offer any help since i haven't used it in a while and flashing method changed. I can recommend Atomic Fusion, KF1 based and very nice (after u theme it)

Clay
+1 I agree with prbassplayer. You have to get into dl mode and if none of the key combos work, then a jig is probably the only way. I use one and it works great in exactly the situation you seem to be in.
edit: Sorry for the double post, forget this and read next. :-/

Clay?
+1 I agree with prbassplayer. You have to get into dl mode and if none of the button combos work for you then the jig may be you're only option. I use it and it works great in exactly the same situation you seem to be in.
You might have crossed up some files and such from going back and forth between GB and Eclair. So need to flash back to stock and start over with fresh install.
If you're still interested in CM7, after rooting, you can install Rom Manager and follow the install process in the CM7 OP or check out their website, it'll walk you thru the whole thing.
Hope this helps

Thank you for the input. At this point it seems that the jig is the only option as I've already tried the usb cord volume up and down process to no avail. I already own a jig, I just need to find a way to my parents house to go grab it.

They aren't hard to make to be honest and if u have a micro usb cable u don't care for it only cost w/e resistors cost for you there.

Using the SDK to use adb commands to get into download mode isn't an option as mentioned in this thread here?

If you've already installed the GB bootloaders, the button combination has changed. I believe it is just volume down-power for gingerbread. Try that or volume up-power then release once the logo starts to see if that gets you into download or recovery.

That's if he installed I9000's bootloaders. Im assuming he is on I897 bootloaders if he came from Cog 5.

No on Cog it is not. You can use the 3 button method just fine.
FYI GB bootloaders are not designed for CM7. CM7 used Froyo based bootloaders for its roms.

[Q] Captivate Bricked after Odin One Click

Hello. I have searched the forums and have not really found out an answer to my question. Earlier in the week I tried installing Andromeda with an ursa minor kernal I believe? (I was following a tut on youtube) I succesfully got ursa minor on my phone but the tutorial failed to mention I had to put Andromeda on the internal sd card to flash it. (first time trying to flash a rom so big noob). I decided to go back to stock and retry using Odin One Click. Odin bricked my phone because it is build number 1108 :/ I have an infinite ATT world phone boot loop because of this. I will be trying to make a jig/buying one soon to get back into download mode to fix this. I am not sure exactly what I am supposed to do once I am in download mode. I want to get back to stock. Obviously Odin One Click doesn't work because of my build number. What steps should I follow to go back to froyo 2.2 and to retry? Please help I am just not sure.

You'll have to use the full Odin program and grab a stock ROM from the development section. Once your in download flash stock ROM with through Odin or heimdall. I'm not next to my computer so I don't feel like fishing for links ..but should be fairly easy!

This is a Odin 1 click for KB1 2.2 stock. After that follow any roms instructions except if it says stock 2.1 ignore it and assume its stock 2.2

I was wondering if I should follow this thread??

When I got my phone (about a two weeks ago) it came with 2.2 already on the phone. I don't need to get to 2.1 but I was thinking I'd go to 2.1 and then upgrade to 2.2 using att? If I can?

But why? If you got it as is and its stock its att's 2.2. At any rate If your so inclined on flashing 2.1 the one you mentioned thats using full Odin with pit should work. I suggest doing it if and only if you have that jig handy. Also keep in mind that .tar probably has bootloaders in it (wich is a risk you really dont need to take) just my 2 cents

My ultimate goal is to get Andromeda3 on my cappy. It seems to be a good rom. Could I just flash that using oden? (put it in the pda slot) or will that not work until I go back to stock?
With this new thread you linked me to, Just put in odin and I should be good to go? Thank you for your help by the way.

Ive never used that rom. Follow their instructions and assume stock is 2.2 for you. Also The original link i sent you should have worked. Aperrantly mediafire.com is having issues tonight.

installing Andromeda3 doesnt require going back to stock, 2.2 or 2.1.
ODIN flash a custom CWM kernel
boot to recovery
flash rom
thats it

you are stuck in a boot loop right?
if you power your phone off, hold down both vol buttons and hold down the power button until the ATT screen comes up, let go, does it not go into recovery mode?
or

power off, while holding both vol buttons, plug in usb. does that not work?

Get ursa minor back on your phone, then mount usb in mounts and storage, then copy the Andromeda3 zip to the drive. You were almost there.
Fish around in the usb port with 301kOhms of resistance from radio shack. You will hit pins 4 abd 5 and you will be in download mode.

Thanks. I tried putting the Andromeda on the phone by copying it over to the phone through the mounted sd card but it was all of a sudden "write protected" and showed up as a cd instead of an sd card. :/ I know I was real close but I made some mistakes along the way
also, when you say fish around the usb port. you mean inside the phone? Is there any danger of hitting the wrong pins and possibly hurting my phone? (say i hit pins 3 and 5 by mistake or something) or is it all pretty safe? I was going to try and attempt the jig method that only used the resistors but n oticed the pins were horrible small in the phone:/

It's not inside the phone... it's the USB port on the phone. One pin is on top and the other is on the bottom. If you don't have a JIG, that's the easy way to do it. There's no power on the USB port. This is a quick way to do it. You'll be fine. It's safe.
