So my newest captivate did not have the 3 button method to go into download mode.
I flashed to cog 5.5 v2.2 BETA5.5 a month ago and decided no to touch it until a fix came out.
I read on designgears page that flashing back to jf6 will re-enable the 3 button method, so i decided to go for it.
I got into download mode using adb, and then tried flashing with odin3 one click downloader (the one DG provides on his page)
while flashing, it gets stuck on the 3rd step that says "file analysis". I tried a few more times but always the same result, so i pulled the battery and tried to boot the phone back up.
Now i get the "phone-!-Computer" on my screen and i cant get into download mode at all. What are my options? I have heard of this homemade jig that you can make, but I'm not all that confident in my soldering abilities.
try this
1-run odin
2-take out the battery and everything else (SIM & micro sd card)
3-reinsert battery
4-HOLD DOWN both up and down volume buttons
5-plug the usb cable (make sure the other end is already plugged into ur computer)
u might get into download mode now !
if so, reflash to whatever rom u want

This only works for phones that can access download mode using button combos. My phone can't.
Any other suggestions?

got this about a month or so ago. My first one had it, cracked the screen and exchanged it and now this one doesn't.
DG recommends flashing to jf6 to enable it, but in the process i bricked my phone. Ironic?
i ended up making a jig and got it to go into download mode that way.
Its pretty easy and i recommend it to anyone who cant get into DL mode.
Also i think there was something wrong with the first version of I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 that i downloaded, because once i downloaded it again, flashing worked fine.

Not true. My phone doesn't have the three button access, but I can access it by holding the buttons and plugging in the USB cable.
Try it. You may be pleasantly surprised.
EDIT: or don't try it since you've already fixed it. lol

Please read above post.
Some phones CANNOT access download mode by using ANY button combo. The method you described is how my old phone would go into download mode, this one does not go into download mode.
"This combo works for me" might be the second most annoying post behind "GPS works for ME!!!"
Both are actual issues, just because yours works doesn't mean everyone else's will too.
Jf6 breaks download mode. You got it backwards.
Best advice I can give you is to keep trying...sometimes it does work

How do you make a jig? I've always wondered.\
EDIT: Nevermind I found the post, seems like its really easy if you buy the two pieces instead of soldering.
Well I purposely bricked my cappy again and I one click root my phone took me to cwm again, I guess my method works.

My milestone(Telus; BL 90.74) is pretty much bricked. I tried to do this, but like with everything else I do modding wise I failed horribly. It got to the point to where whenever I tried turning on my phone, it would stay frozen on the M logo. I've wasted my entire day searching from blogs to forums to videos trying to fix this but nothing worked. And now my phone won't even turn on unless I access the bootloader menu.
I know I have to reflash the sbf file, but the thing is my computer no longer detects my phone since the disaster. I'm really frustrated and stressed because of this. I thought doing a factory reset would do something but now all of my data on the phone is gone for nothing.
Can anyone please help? I know there's like 7 threads on this, but none of them help even if I follow the instructions step by step.
have made a backup? to open recovery?

I could try that by putting an official update.zip so the boot loader will accept. Problem is there isn't any updates further to what I have and froyo womn't come anytime soon unless you were referring to something else.

Let me try this. I'm going to bed for now, Ill post results tomorrow.
You can try installing your usb drivers again and try.Since you did not get any error in the bootloader mode, it could be problems with your usb drivers.
Uninstall the usb drivers and reinstall them again. Then try.
BTW, which version of rsdlite are you using?
Helo
Maybe tray this:
- Download an RSD Lite (I use 4.7)
- Download an GOT firmware from: and-developers.com / sbf:milestone (bottom of site)
- Set the phone to bootloader mode
- Start RSD Lite with Administrator permissions
- Connect the phone
- Select the downloaded sbf file
- When U see phone connected click Start
Sorry for my english

Ok, I did everything you said and flashed it with A853_Telus_Firmware_SHOLS_U2_03.10.0__USASHLSMR2TLSB1B2B505F.0R_1FF.sbf. But now it still gets stuck at the moto sign
Edit: I think I might have a solution as I flashed the phone with vulnerable_recovery_only_RAMDLD90_78.sbf which will let me use an update.zip. The only problem is I can't access my memory card and I don't have anything that could at home.
Edit: Ok, I fixed my phone and now it has 2.2.1. Thanks guys, I appreciate the help.
Hello,
I know there are a ton of "stuck in fastboot" threads but I've spent hours going through them and none of them seem to be what's happening to me. Or maybe all of them combined would... anyway, I would greatly appreciate some help as I'm at my witt's end. I've even somehow managed to screw up a dual boot of Ubuntu on my windows machine, but that's something I'll fix for myself later
Anyway, here's all the info I can think of and what I have done so far.
A month or two I rooted my phone. I never flashed a custom rom or anything. I altered a couple settings but that's it. My phone has worked perfectly this entire time.
Yesterday there was an OTA. I didn't even intend to accept it, I just got the notification and then my phone shut off and went to fastboot. That's pretty much where I've been ever since.
Rebooting gets me to fastboot. Attempting recovery mode gets me to the hard reset screen but not recovery. Trying to hard reset just goes back to fastboot. Download mode does not come up.
Windows sees my phone but disables it because of an error. Attempting to reinstall drivers does nothing. Ubuntu doesn't acknowledge that the phone is there under the regular terminal. If I run the fastboot tool it wont list it but it will respond to a couple commands. I can reboot... into fastboot. Anything else gets the "waiting for device" notification. My device just says "processing commands" but nothing happens.
So that's where I'm at right now. That's the condensed version of the last 18 hours but I think it contains most of the relavent information. I would greatly appreciate any assistance. I'm lucky to have this phone and I would be very upset if I lost it.
Thank you.

No problem. I've got my phone shut off to save battery because I'm under the impression that it won't charge in fastboot and I didn't figure repeating that would be good for it. I'm still trying to restore Windows. I'm not used to being limited to a single computer but without my phone and my desktop currently in another state I'm a bit frustrated.
Anyway, I appreciate the help and will keep trying. I'll update if anything happens.

That's what I'm working on now, I screwed up the dual boot and can't get back into windows. Okay. I'm just going to grab my brother's laptop and use it so I can get this done. I can fix my computer later.
I'm going to start at the beginning of the tutorial since it'll be on a different computer. We'll see how it goes.
Edit: Okay, back to windows and this is what I have going on. I've installed the drivers for my phone, set up the sdk and gone into cmd but even with the drivers Windows is telling me that it has disabled my phone because it is malfunctioning (error code 43). Therefore no matter what I do it will not acknowledge the phone or communicate with it. If I try doing anything it just hangs on "waiting for device".
FIXED!
WOOHOO!!
It's working again! I'm not sure exactly how I did it but I rebooted my computer and suddenly the phone said "processing commands" so even though it still wasn't listed as a device I ran boot.img just to see what happened and it's back up and running just like nothing ever happened.
Thank you so much!

Hi
I recently tried to root my phone from this guide: devs-lab.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge
I followed the instructions and flashed this file from ODIN:
Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR
The file transferred ok and when the phone started rebooting it just stopped with a fault message on the screen.
Now the phone is stucked and i can't get contact with Odin. Odin recognizes the phone on the port but i cant flash to the phone.
The only way i have a chance to install on the phone now is with SD-card, because i am able to get to the recovery mode.
But when i try to install new stockware i just get signature failed message.
Does anyone know how i can get out of this mess ? I know its possible to turn of the signature check, but i cant get any options like this in the menu ..... BTW the phone is a G930F
I would really appreciate all help !
Thanks

Hi,
I dont remember exactly the fault message because my phone has been sent to service. But i will get it back in a couple of days. Then i will tell you the entire message. But is was something about kernel fault....
The service center says i have to replace the main board on the phone which cost almost the same as a new phone....
But i'm sure the main board is not broken...

The service center says i have to replace the main board on the phone which cost almost the same as a new phone....
But i'm sure the main board is not broken...

Blah that's never good. Though I don't always trust things HAVE to be replaced at the hardware level. But it is what it is. Hopefully when you get it back all will be working for you! Unless it was just a bad chip, failing at the same time you were trying to write the new files to memory?

Well....
Actually i'm hoping to fix the phone withouth replacing the main board since it is so expencive.
So i asked them to return it withouth replacing. Because as long as i can get the phone in recovery mode its not broken. I just need to get pass Samsungs signature verification somehow... Then i can install new firmware...
Still hoping to get help. I will post the error message as soon as i get the phone back,
Thanks so far

I think I did the same thing when I first got the Phoenix, and did not research and do not turn the OEM Unlock feature on. I messed up things and through a lot of reflashing and panic searching, got mine to come back.
I since have seen others post issues that sound horrible but have been recoverable. We'll help you try to figure it out once you get the phone back.

Hi, i finally got my phone back.
Been trying different things like installing new firmware by using the SD-card. And also by using ADB, since the phone allows me to install software through ADB.
But no matter what i do the phone tells that signature verification failed.
I think one fault i did when installing the twrp custom recovery from ODIN i forgot to press the key combo and it started up with the original bootloader. Then it got stuck with the error screen i told you about.
I have uploaded a picture of the error message below.
If anyone knows how to get by the signature verification test then maby i could be able to install new firmware....
Thanks again, i will be grateful for any tips that could help me !
Best Regards
Tom

Good NEWS !!!!!
I managed to get the phone working again...
What i did was:
Holding the volume down, home and power button at the same time. When the phone went black i plugged in the USB cabel from the computer.
The error message came up 2 - 3 times but i kept holding the buttons.
Eventually it went into download mode and i used ODIN to flash the firmware...
I hope this could solve the problem also for others facing similar issues.
Thanks to BWolf56 who posted in a forum here. His tips fom 2011 .... helped me.

Great to hear... Good luck from here on out!
This is a good sign not to listen to tech support. They don't know, or mess with this stuff, as much as us!
Happy flashing and hope no more scares from here on out...
