I'm not new to this sort of stuff either. I used odin one time on my phone with no issues what so ever. my wife just had to make a warranty claim on her phone and we just got the replacement, asked her if she wanted me to root and put cognition on and she said sure
Well it had stock 2.2 on it and it wouldn't install clockwork recovery. upon reading that it was the update causing the problem I figured id just use odin to take the phone back to 2.2. I used a brand new charge cable I've only had for 3 weeks and things started fine but eventually the screen went black and odins progress bar stopped moving... 15 mins went by and nothing was happening... so I knew it was messed up and I unplugged it...
And $125 later I have an ins replacement on the way. Understand that I've been doin this for six months and this is the first time I've ever had a problem... so what happened? major hit to my confidence here!

Your prob is due to the new phones that come with 2.2 don't always work with one click Odin. Should use the recovery work around for it instead
should of known....ugh... wish I would of known this yesterday I would of been $125 richer and minus one angry wife. What about my phone now? its runing cognition 4.4.2. In light of what's happened I'm thinking about going back to stock myself and staying there... Will odin work on my phone or is there another way?

you could use the Odin one click for JH6, that'll take you back to eclair and you can use the Kies mini to update to 2.2 KB1
or...
you could use full odin to flash the 2.3.3 basic theres a great TUT for it. let me grab some links...
the TUT; http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&highlight=tut
the odin to Eclair: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989&highlight=odin+one+click
if your going to choose the gingerbread path make sure you READ a lot.
And I wouldn't lose to much confidence over it. If you look at some of the "big shots" they usually have hard-bricked a captivate.
Thanks for the reply... yeah my confidence is bruised but its hard to turn back now. Just def don't ever wanna find myself in this situation ever again. I am interested in going to gingerbread, in fact very interested. I've started to look into it I'm gonna read more before I make the big jump.

Next time, (hopefully there won't be a next time for you) you should first hit up samsung warranty first. If you have att, try them before samsung. I hard bricked my phone, sent it to samsung, they fixed it, no charge and sent it back. It took about 12 days, but it was FREE. Just an fyi.

What happens if your running a gingerbread rom with updated bootloaders and you decide that you want to go back to froyo and elair. Is your only option odin one click to restore the bootloaders?, what if your captivate is one of those unlucky ones that like to brick with odin one click? Would you be stuck on gingerbread?
You can use 2.2 roms with gb bootloaders, they are backwards compatible. Just make sure there are no bootloaders in the rom you flash.

Oh I see thanks.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Wait so if i flashed gingerbread bootloaders and my phone is not compatible with odin one click, is there no way to get back onto froyo/eclair bootloaders? I understand that you can still flash froyo roms without bootloaders but you can always make a mistake and flash froyo bootladers bricking your phone.
You can use the regular JH6 flash back just not the one with the three button mod, this is because the three button mod replaces 1 out of 2 bootloaders and they won't match but the JH6 only replaces both (or none not sure) and they do match

What's the difference between jf6 and jh6?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Check stuff from studacris on this forum. He's very knowledgeable and helpful. I saw somewhere where he wrote about using odin one click to flash stock with any build. You'll get a bootloop, or a soft brick, and then put in download and flash the jf6 secure with odin. That way you have boots and stock. Don't quote me on any of this. I'm going off memory and might have some of this wrong. Don't want anyone mad at me for the wrong info. Just read into his posts, before trying any of this. You'll definitely learn a lot.

studacris said:
sounds like you have a later build phone that doesnt like odin one click...thats all your gonna get out of it is a bootloop
get into download mode and use this package:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995143
if you go to gingerbread and want to revert back to stock bootloaders you will have to use one click, even though you will end up in a bootloop and then use the package i posted to get it up and running completly sotck.

So i got cm7 on my phone last week and ever since i got it when i leave the phone on for more that 2 min the phone will just turn itself off and restart and show the cyanogenmod logo with the little android guy on the skateboard (same as once you turn on the device) and all the apps and everything is shut off. What is happening, is this normal?
Still looking for a solution
Flash back to stock to see if it does it there. Then reflash CM7.

Maybe you restored system data from a different ROM and it broke something. Flash back to stock and then follow the direction to a T on flashing CM7. Do not restore anything and see if you have the issue.
I used cm7 for 2 weeks to see what all the fuss is about. I had the problem you where describing. in my case it was caused by restoring too much stuff from titanium back up. follow the instructions and you shuld be fine.
After getting it working I did not like cm7 so I uninstalled it and went to the i9000 gingerbread based ROMs(I am using continuum) and dident look back.
Us cappy owners are fortunate to have such a rich developer community with so much to choose from.

Probably bricked it, but idk HOW it got bricked, I rooted it following the Tmo version root on here, and then I installed MIUI via clockwork recov, and it installed. Now it isn't turning on....I just got it today, and I really don't want to go back to T-Mobile and look like a psycho coming in everytime. I mean I do got insurance on it, so if that's the last resort, then so be it. But for now, any ideas???

Hello Forum!
I have a nasty problem. I installed CM7 on my girlfriend's Galaxy Mini, but for any reason, the menu and back key's don't work anymore. They don't even turn on (I'm talking about the light). Without those, the phone is practically unable to use. I tryied to flash stock, chocobread and cm9 without any luck. Several factory resets, wipes and everything, but any luck.
Can you guys please advice?
Thanks in advance!

are you sure you flashed the correct rom? that happened to me once when i accidently flashed a galaxy ace rom on my galaxy mini
also did you wipe cache / wipe data / wipe dalvik cache?

I think u r on the wrong forum...galaxy mini has no backlight for buttons...check the model no. in settings if u hav a doubt..
OK! My mistake. As I said, it's my girlfriend's phone, not my. I have a SGII, that's why I was thinking about the light in the buttons. She just confirm me that they don't light up.
Anyway, they don't work! First, I tryied CM7.2 RC5.7, later, CM7.2 RC1, later Chocobread 3.0.1, finally Stock on 2.3.4 & 2.3.6... nothing!
Yes, I did wipes (factory/cache/dalvik) between all the changes...
Please, help!
wow weird problem....
if you have tried everything and it doesn't work, I suggest you to go to the service center, maybe it causes by hardware problem
The problem is that they were working before!
As soon as I flashed for the first time, they suddenly dead. First, I thought that was a CM7 problem, because the phone was working right but I wanted to flash to have more options. But then, I changed to Chocobread, but nothing, finally to stock, without any luck either...
Try update through KIES?

Hey all,
I just went from ICS to Stock 2.3.6 and the first thing I noticed is that after the flashing process where de phones go to recovery and loads for some time it asked me for a password... I tried many things but without luck, i flashed TWRP and wiped data and everything then it went away and I could normally use my phone...
Now I set up a Pin lock on my phone and I know 100% sure i know the pin because im using it for a year or so now but it keeps telling me the pincode is incorrect, so i cant unlock it.
Wiped everything again and did the same thing but again it keeps telling me its wrong while I know its correct...
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Well, according to this: "I wiped data and everything then it went away and I could normally use my phone...", it seems (at least that's what I think) that you have set a software-based pin code (instead of the simcard code itself) from which you thought it was the simcard code all the time. so your simcard code remained unchanged. This is just my speculation, try the original code. (if you can still find it) Because wiping any partition would never delete information (pincode) on your simcard.

No its not the pincode of my simcard that it asks for thats still there and working fine it asks for a password which i assume is the pinlock on my phone, i also tried without a lock on my phone and it still asks for it.

It may sound as im advertising, but what you can try is flashing broodROM RC5 with odin, a bunch of people actually reported that if your stuck in "your" situation, a flash of broodrom goodness can do miracles. I have never experienced such problems but you can always try and flash my rom, if it works again then install stock

I just flashed Broodrom RC5 and everything went as expected, only Odin didn't say PASSED this time either but it went well luckly.
The phone booted and i set up an lock screen i locked it and it still says pincode wrong! Now i need to wipe date etc to have access again.
This is really pissing me off...
What can i do now?
Where is the lockscreen located? maybe i can access it and change some values or something?
Or can someone thats using Broodrom rc5 give me his framework file or some system files that the lockscreen may be using?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry man. Pin code security comes from you sim card. Changing your system files wont work. You can Buy a new sim card, Try to find puk code or go back to your provider and tell them you lost your puk code.

I am now on 2.3.6 and I already wanted to try that but when I connect it to kies is says 'Your device is not supported' or something because I got this firmware file from samfirmware I think.
Is there a way to force update to the firmware Kies was giving?
Btw i noticed when I set a pin screen lock and afterwards I press 'No Screenlock' it doesn't ask for the pin to confirm, and as long as I can remember it did when you wanted to remove the screenlock(back in the days when it was working lol).
