so today i upgraded to gingerbread 2.3.5 on my samsung captivate or i-897. it was all fine until i started to try the teamhacksung build 16 for ICS. i was trying to install it and somehow my phone locked up on me. everytime i try to boot up my phone it goes to galaxy s and just sits. i can get it into recovery and download but then odin will not pick it up? help?
that rom has a Q and A page. go there to ask questions about it. NOT the DEV PAGE. Q&A.try searching the thread. and reading it.
100% chance your problem has been asked at least 10 times.
i went there and searched im sorry it hasnt been thats why i posted a thing. so stop being so rude and help someone out really.

You need to be in download mode for odin to pick it up. Start odin first then with your phone off, hold in your up/down volume keys and plug in your usb cable.

telling you the proper place to post a question is not being rude. Im trying to help you find other people that have the same rom setup as you. they dont always look at other threads like this. they only care about THEIR ROM. so posting there, they would find your question... here they wont.
and the answer to your very first problem... if the rom install locks up (which it RARELY does) flash again.
**normally it "looks" like it locks up but the user is actually impatient, or the install script doenst program the status bar very well and it looks like its not doing anything although it is.
and first boot after flashing can take upto 10 mintues at boot animation.
ive done all of this plenty of times, ive even read how to create them. and i know you do as well. ive done all the odin i can but it got stuck at the galaxy s boot screen like the black one with white lettering and the i897 tag too. but it wont go past, and now wen i plugged it in it bricked so i have no idea wat to do now and i love this phone to death.

Can't you just flash something from recovery? You probably put some ROM on your sd at some point. And if not, you can do that with USB from recovery
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
Once you didn't get past the boot screen you should have three buttoned to recovery and flashed the from again. It happens quite often when you go to THS ICS or CM7. So if your not truly bricked which you shouldn't be unless you used a Odin with boot loaders then just used Odin and flash speed mod kernel or another kernel that will give you the correct cwm recovery. Then BEFORE trying to reboot flash the ICS ROM, then when it finishes flash it a second time BEFORE REBOOTING, then flash gapps, then reboot.
What happens is that the first time you try to go to cm7 or cm9 it basically flashes the kernel and cwm recovery from I can tell, then the second flash will be able to get you through all the boot up. Plus wait a while without touching it and it will come up. It takes a while on the first ever flash to it.

So i've been searching for a few hours while trying to flash my cappy with speedmod kernel for 5 hours...
I don't know whats wrong but I can never get passed the galaxy s screen right after the opening at&t world phone screen. I am able to go into recovery mode and go through features but every time I reboot or turn my phone on it never gets passed the galaxy s screen. it seems like the kernel is running fine but then it stops right after the opening at&t screen. what am i doing wrong???? I have been at this for too long.
Can someone please help me with my problem... I can't seem to find anything about this and a lot of people aren't having much problem flashing this kernel. why can't I be one of those people... please! if you can push me into the right direction, that would be great!
btw... it seems like its frozen on this screen but I don't think it really is.
how long does the first boot of a new kernel take? any adjustments in recovery mode that I need to make? I've also tried the older speedmod kernels and and I get the same problem. Am I using odin right, because I followed the speedmod tutorials word for word...
did you feel any vibration during your booting? like one vibration or three vibrations?
I don't think there was any vibrations upon booting. if there was I believe it was only one. I could be wrong though. at this point I don't even want to put a custom kernal on my phone. I've been at this for a long time and it seems like I haven't gotten anywhere.
which rom are you on?
im running stock everything but superuser permission root. stock kernal and what not also. I ended up using odin one-click downloader to flash back to stock. now my phone is back to stock and working.
the thing is that I want to flash speedmod on my phone but now I cant get into download mode or recovery mode. my phone is glitchy now too.
can you provide some suggestion on how to flash right? I would ask in the speedmod thread but Im a new to the threads and it wont let me yet.
I have an ATT Captivate that goes into a fuzzy screen after it goes from the initial White ATT World Phone screen. The wrong kernel was flashed on it after I mistakenly read a post trying to upgrade the the Apex rom. If anyone could be of any assistance. I can't get into Download Mode or Recovery mode... but it still turns on. I'll post screenshots if possible.

Ouch, so no download mode or recovery mode? Have you tried booting into download from ADB? if you don't know what adb is then don't worry about it. You might try seeing KIES recognizes it, if not, download any ODIN package and see if the ODIN recognizes it, if it does you're in luck! If not, then you might consider ADB: I'm no expert but I'm sure that when you have ADB there is a way to replace the Kernel Image for a proper one. Just out of curiosity, which kernel did you accidentally flash?
It has nothing to do with kernels, you have a GB ROM with Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders

The second problem is... it loops after the fuzzy screen. It only stays for 5-10 seconds then goes back to the ATT screen.
I do know what adb is and I've used it a lot especially with my girl's Mytouch 4g. It's just this was a big problem I haven't been able to crack.
I believe the kernel that was flashed was TalonDEV 0.5.1-RC1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18330648&postcount=5215
Edit: Odin sees it for the 5-10 seconds it's on... but since it's bootlooping... Odin doesn't have time to do anything further than file analysis.
2nd Edit: The battery status comes up when I plug the phone up when it's off... I know that probably doesn't help, but I figure I should give all the information I can.

Its the KERNEL.
If you have froyo bootloaders and a gingerbread ROM, it will still boot into the ROM and work. But on boot, the KERNEL splash screen is that distorted image in the OP, and also recovery is inaccessible because all you get is the distorted image. And as you should know, recovery is contained in the kernel.
If you're on froyo, and flash a gingerbread kernel, not only will you have the issues stated above, but you'll also likely be bootlooping, which is exactly the situation in the op.
OP.. You don't use Odin booted into Android, or in a bootloop. Its used in DOWNLOAD MODE ONLY.
Search for "usb download mode jig" you can make one, our buy one fur under 10 bucks. It'll boot it into dl mode in seconds.
Then go to the top of the development section, find a gingerbread package WITH bootloaders. flash that, THEN proceed with your original plan
Yes or flash gingerbread boot loaders and get recovery back, Then flash and appropriate kernel in cwm.
Hint: there is a button combination that you must preform to enable download mode it is posted several thousand times in the captivate section I would suggest go and find what it is.
Btw. The button combination happens to be posted in three or four of the stickies. And the forum rules say to read stickies before creating a thread or posting.

I've read them already. I told you I can't get into either mode. I know exactly what the 3 button combination and the download combination is for this phone and since the wrong kernel was flashed on it, it's apparently not working.
Hint: being helpful is great, but when you start talking down to people, you start to become an ass. When that starts to happen, it's best you be quiet and let people who want to come up with a solution to the problem speak.

if the phone is in a state that accepts adb coms
Hello!
I know that I should have done a lot more research before jumping in but here is what happened. I have also looked everywhere in the captivate forums with no luck. I upgraded to stock Gingerbread from Froyo a while back, yesterday I decided that I wanted to root, which I accomplished with Odin. The rooting went just fine, after that I wanted to flash ICS Slim onto my phone, which I soon realized I needed clockworkmod recovery for. After research found out that it doesn't work using ROM manager so I followed a guide to install it and here is where things went sour, following the guide I installed Hardcore’s SpeedMod Kernel it rebooted and it started normally, passing the AT&T bootscreen but now I am completely stuck on the screen after saying "GALAXY S SGH-l897" and on bottom "SAMSUNG". I am able to access the downloading screen and I just do not want to do anymore damage than I have already.
TL;DR: I'm stuck on boot after installing Hardcore's speedmod kernal, able to get on download screen, don't want to do anymore damage. Long story short, what can I do to repair my phone to a usable state?
Google "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to Samsung Captivate" 3rd link down to see the guide that I used.
Thank you for taking the time to help!
I think hardcore speed mod kernel is for froyo/eclair that's why you're boot looping, but clockwork mod should work. Try using the three button combo to get into recovery and flash whatever captivate ICS ROM you chose, assuming you have the file in your internal SD.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
thanks for the reply, unfortunately I don't have any ROM on my internal at all, is there a way to flash a ROM from odin or another software? Or do I have to use the clockworkmod recovery to flash it on?
You can mount USB storage from recovery, so transfer the ROM to your sd card that way

I am trying to mount the USB Mass Storage from ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0, but nothing will appear onto my computer, if I could get this to mount could I flash 2.3.5 using Kies Mini? Would the wipe data/factory reset help me here?
Try reinstalling samsung drivers to get your phone recognized. Since you're on 2.3.5 already, Kies will not let you re-download because it assumes you're on the latest firmware already. Use the Odin one click package. Or heimdall one click.
Don't rush. If you're still unsure keep searching. Read thoroughly so errors won't happen

No wiping will not help you lol. Its better to flash back to 2.3.5 and start fresh.

I've got the same problem with my phone, but I arrived there thru different means.. I used an app called Kernel Manager Light, and believe I tried flashing something called like Fastloader, or Fast boot loader.. something.. anyways, looked good for a minute, while it flashed it, then rebooted my phone & since then, it doesn't load past a screen that reads "GALAXY S" then smaller and below it "SGH-I897".. then across the bottom, "SAMSUNG".. Totally stuck there, for DAYS. I've been reading these forums for what seems like ever, and this is the closest scenario I've found to my own situation.
I can't get my phone into download mode no matter what I do. I can't get into it thru ADB. All I get is that screen.
In ADB, when I type C:/ADB devices, it will sometimes recognize my device (tho more often than not it won't) and even whwn it does, as soon as I try to access my phone thru ADB, it just freezes up too.. I hit enter, and the cursor drops down to the next line, but nothing ever happens from there.
Someone please help..?

!!! HELP !!! I'm very wet behind the ears when it comes to this!!! HENSE my username. this started after connecting my cap. to a pc with intentions of exporting some pics. that initial (1st) and Only pc notification about detecting a usb device, my cousin sitting down at the monitor clicked outside the bubble message. Now from this point on which was several attempts i would get could recognize device msg. I did not know this was gonna be the results, i can actually remember noticable gliches and flaws progressively worse and worse. icons looking like they had a bulb burning out, awful lag in dialer and or any commands. I know now after reading similar posts my attempts to back-up,recover, i did several restore sessions,wiped data & system in a last ditch effort to get my phone back! i was on the road out of my state. not a comforting situation. I'D REALLY APPRECIATE THE HELP! I'M LEARNING AS I CRAWL ALONG HERE, WITH THAT BEING SAID I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH ALOT OF THE LINGO! symbols , abbreviations , etc:crying:
Ur post is confusing...
What firmware are u on -- Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread ??
Did u get ur pics copied off of the phone and to the pc. Under the Settings in ur phone is a USB connection setting to select for when u want to transfer stuff to ur pc.
If ur phone is still jacked up from the multiple backup and restores u did, then u may just have to do a Factory Reset from the Settings menu to get things back to normal...but do understand that that means all ur pics and other stuff will get erased, etc.
If the Factory Reset doesn't work, then I would say get into download mode and flash a Stock firmware (GB 2.3.5 i897ucKK4 being the latest official) and then proceed forward from there however u want.
See the stickied threads in the Q &A and Dev forums for help with flashin to Stock and Dev Roms.

Okay, so I have installed Speedrom kernel earlier, then tried to flash ICSSGS, and after it restarted the phone, it went to the Samsung Captivate logo. I reflashed Speedrom via Heimdall. Once it restarted I continued into reflashing ICSSGS from CWM. It continued installing, and I selected the options I wanted (I tried both kernels, to no avail). After it said it was done and restarted I was greeted by the Samsung Captivate logo. I have been stuck here ever since.
I was running I897UCKB2.
I can access download mode, recovery, I can flash new recoveries and new roms. However no roms actually flash. I have searched all over and can not seem to find anyone with exactly the same results. Maybe I am searching the wrong terms.
I have tried Kies, but can not get into the phone, so I can not use it. I have tried odin3 1.7, I have also tried several odin one click setups, all of which connect to the phone, and attempt to install, 2-3 hours later, or even 8 i come back to it still frozen. When I restart the phone I am stuck at the /!\ screen. using the UnBrickable mod, I can get it back into recovery, I can not get it to go any other way besides UnBrickable Mod.
I also can not access ADB or fastboot, it is always waiting on the device.
I am at a complete lost here. Tomorrow I plan on launching Ubuntu and seeing if I can fix the issue.
Does anyone know why the ROMs are ot flashing correctly?
edit: I should add that after attempting to install ICSSGS my phone is no longer recognized at i897 and incapable of installing CM9. After changing the build.prop I am still unable to get it to recognize. As of now attempting to install CM9 installs CWM 5.5 and reboots, and then never does anything.
Try using nexus drivers on ur pc.
Then if u can get into download mode, flash to stock of ur choice and then use TRusselo's Guide, that is stickied in the Q & A forum, to proceed further.
U can use the /!\ screen as a download screen.

I woke up this morning with it still stuck at Firmware upgrade. My computer went to sleep during the night.. Thought I had turned it off. Luckily it looks like when I turned it on, Odin One-Click for 2.1 started up and started flashing it. Phone restarted and actually appears to be doing something.
So I guess Flash Odin Twice?

As for Trusselo's Guide, its the one I followed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
Doesnt flash ROMs for me. I tried it again in Ubunutu. It is a no go. I am not as experienced as I'd like to be flashing, but its not a hard process, So I am very unsure as to whats going on that flashes are not working. Well ROM flashes at least, I now am running, Eclair 2.1-update1. I am going to try to flash a new bootloader, the e2 and see if I can maybe get around the issue I am having.
Not sure why things are not going good for u according to TRusselo's Guide...??
Be sure and read plenty before u flash. Know what u r doing and the risks. Newer Stickied Threads in the Captivate Forums r ur friend.
I tried flashing a few more times, and got nothing. I began to give up, but last second tried installing CM9 Nightly, it went through finally. Haven't done anything different. I checked the videos I recorded to see if I had did anything different. Only Difference is flashing the bootloader twice before running CWM to install CM9.
Glad that nightmare is over. Girlfriend should be very excited that it is working. Now if I only had a 100% Sense free and 100% working ICS for my Amaze.
Thanks for your help.
Glad u got it going. Thx for reporting back.

Hi,
As the title says I have small problem. I bought my SGS1 with custom rom and kernel flashed into it already - sometimes it shows wrong time, went into recovery mode without my knowledge, had some problems with apps. Today I pressed Power and chose reboot - now I am stuck at animation that appears after logo kernel Semaphore. Of course I tried to look in other threads, I found a lot of them but still I cant figure out how to do it. You see, I never did it before and it's all hokus-pokus to me even tho I read stuff here at the forums. I managed to get into downloand and recovery mode using 3 button combo What do I do now? It seems way too complicated for newbie like me, every post isn't explaining it enuff for me. Can someone help me or at least give some tips, clues?
Things I got installed are Android 4 .0.4, 3.0.8 Semaphore ics 1.1.2s.

Get in recovery, clear cache and dalvik cache and reboot.
It will take a while to full boot cause it will have to rebuild it's cache but should work from there.
If it doesn't, You'll need more stuff but we'll get to that then.

Okay. I wiped cache and dalvik. Now I'm waiting on animation screen for 30 minutes. I'll let you know what happens after 1 hour.
By the way does any of those problems could be related to low battery? I had like 20% last time I rebooted my phone and problems started.
One more thing is - I don't have memory microSD card - guy sent me 16GB one but it doesn't work. Can we fix it without it? I wanted to buy a new one eventually
EDIT: Okay, one hour passed after I wiped cache. Everything was stuck on animation but suddenly, after I walked out of phone for a 5 minutes it stopped - everything was gone, I couldn't Power it or use 3 button combo. I think that's cuz battery went low. I plugged it into charger, we'll see if it charges. I hope so. EDIT2: Yeah, that was battery. Still can enter Recovery.

Did you recently remove the sd card? If so, try booting with it in your cell.
If that doesn't work, Mount your phone through recovery to backup your stuff on PC (like pics).
Now you'll need Odin KK4 without bootloaders (found in the stickies). As will as corn kernel and Odin 1.87. And finally a JB rom you wanna use on your internal sd.
Get your phone in download mode and flash KK4 (stock GB). Let it do us it's magic, once done, make sure it boots up fine. Then get back in recovery to flash corn kernel with odin 1.87 (gotta put it in the PDA slot). Finally, follow the FULL instructions provided by the ROM dev you chose.
