Read up more on odin. Some suggestions, make sure you are using the rear usb port. Right click odin and run as administrator. Read odin thread about different ways to enter download mode.
Did you flash anything, our are you just running stock? Where did you buy the phone?

And if it did just all of a sudden go bat **** return it to where you purchased it. Or call samsung and send your phone to be reflashed. Odin can and will fix this 9 out of 10 times

Ok pls listen carefully I tried this so many times you don't even have to do the 3 button combo.
When you are on the atnt screen plug your phone to the computer. When it recognize it, run the one click root and hit one click root and your phone should go to clockwork recovery (you should have cwm) and there is an option in cwm that can get you to download mode.

Did you make sure to open Odin "BEFORE" you plug your Captivate (in download mode).
I am presently having a very similar problem. My phone stalls at the ATT screen and none of the methods offered in the myriad of other threads has worked. I have tried all of the button combos, I have attempted the one-click, and I have let the screen flash 2-3 times before releasing the button, all of it has failed. I am at a point where a hard reset might be the answer, but I do not know if one exists. This afternoon I am getting the parts to attempt the 3ohm method.
I would appreciate any input or suggestion of a method I have not yet tried.
TIA
I wanted to mention too that when the phone is off and I plug it into a wall charger, the picture of the battery comes up with the little pinwheel, and stays. The pinwheel does not spin, nor does it go away.
Hello all and thx in advance.
ATT Captivate batch 1010
I had Cognition 2.3 I think on my phone and it worked great however I wanted to try a different ROM so I attempted to restore my phone to stock using ODIN one click. I realized after that that I never disabled the voodoo lag fix or deleted my user data.
Now I am stuck in a boot loop that either shows the white ATT logo screen flashing every couple seconds or the phone off charge screen re starting every couple seconds.
I bought a USB Jig and it works great so I can get into D/L mode easily but I have tried flashing the stock firmware at least 6 times now using different machines, different ports, different versions of ODIN and I've searched around these forums and others for several hours trying to find a solution. It seems that I needed to erase my user data in recovery mode and removed the lag fix before I did this but it is what it is. I have tried to get to recovery mode to no avail. All I can get to is download mode.
Any ideas on what I should/can do?
any help will be greatly appreciated.

I think that you may need to use the Froyo Odin (JI6).

please help, i have the same problem, was flashing back to stock from a serendipit 5.12 so that i could get the 6.0 version... all went as planned until odin said "reset" which was my cue to unplug and that the process was complete.... i unplugged the phone and tried to reboot and now it does exactly as the first post described, at&t logo then black screen, then back to the at&t logo then black screen again... my computer doesnt recognize my phone none of the methods of getting to download screen will work... no matter how many times i pull the sd, sim, and batt, no matter the button combination i use or which order i use them in.... same result... i cant afford a new phone i need help, i will donate also... i knew this stuff was over my head, but "curiosity killed the cat" i guess...
I had the exact same problem. Try this method, it's the one that worked for me when all others failed... But remember to follow it EXACTLY.
1. Pull out the battery.
2. Hold Volume UP+DOWN (Don't let go of them until you see the download screen).
3. Stick in the USB (which is connected to the computer).
4. Put the battery back in.
If not, you might need to get a USB Jig.
That Froyo Odin link worked!
Thanks guys I flashed to Froyo and it worked!
I've since flashed clockwork recovery and gotten Serendipity 6.1
As far as getting into download mode I had to use one of the USB jigs.
I ordered one from the guy who does the rom reviews but you could make one as well.
On another note the new ROM seems to be discharging my battery really fast
Before I start investigating it as a problem I am going to charge it completely then let it discharge completely to calibrate it.
Thanks again guys

I just fixed mine last night, I had the exact same problem because of the exact same upgrade. What you need to do is get or make a usb jig. There's a couple resources around here for how to do it.
Here's a video showing how to make one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0
Once I got my phone into download mode, I used Darky's ROM Resurrection Edition ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940671 ) to restore my phone. Just scroll down to where it says "Files Needed" and download the Captivate version. Once you have that downloaded, use the jig to put your phone into download mode and follow the directions in the Darky's video (jump to about 2:30 into the video). Once I had my phone booting, I used clockwork to install Serendipity 6.
Hope that helps you as much as it helped me!!
went to radio shack, got all the stuff to make a jig and i was able to get my phone into download mode! now to try darko...... thanks everyone!
odin doesnt reconize phone
which odin3 are you using? 1.7? or the one click to stock?
you mentioned you had the bootloop problem before, so you should be using odin 1.7 with 2.2 stock.
open odin
get phone into download mode with your nice jig
unplug jig and plug in computer
box in odin should turn yellow.
And make sure you have the correct drivers installed. CRUCIAL.

You ever get this to work? - I'm in a similar situation. all flashes 'work' but get stuck at ATT on boot. Not sure Eclair is an option or not since mine is a refurbished phone that started on 2.2

If one-clicks aren't working, you might need to grab the full version of Heimdall or Odin and flash a full package. Some of the newer phone builds don't like one-clicks.

I upgraded from 2.2 to 2.3. But the system seemed unstable. So I decided to downgraded it to 2.1, by using the "one click odin", but it has been unrooted. I tried everything but couldn't root the system, thus I decided to directly flash the kernel. When it freezed, I unpluged the USB and then it happened.
Do I still have the change to save it?

Michael, check the build number of your phone (look at the sticker that lives under the phone's battery). If it's anything past 1010 (and in some cases, 1008), ODIN 1-Click will not work. You'll need to find and download ODIN3 and the proper .PDA and .PIT files.
You will, however, still need ODIN 1-click to do a Master Clear of the phone, so don't get rid of it.

After the captivate was unrooted, I could do nothing to root it again. Although after reinstall packages, I saw the "superxxxx"(sorry forgot the name), I still couldn't install apps from third-party.

I have a question about the Odin3 program used to restore phone. I have followed this thread and done all of the things it says and I can not get the application to work. I have downloaded the drivers and done this step by step and I must be doing something wrong. I have no idea what to do. I have removed the sd card and the sim card, put the phone into downliad mode by method 2. After I click start on the program, I get to the file analysis part and then the program just sits there. I have waited for 45 minutes and nothing.
Please help! I flash cognition 4.3.2 over perception build 9.5 and now my phone will not turn on. It is stuck in a loop between the cognition start up screen and then goes to recovery and then keeps cycling. What should i do? Thanks in advance!!!
odin sometimes locks up. try again. the only real Problem that can really happen with ODIN is that it doesnt see your phone.
try rebooting your computer. force closing odin didnt help the person i helped before,
When I plug the phone into the computer, it says added on the Odin program. Is this correct? I have never used the Odin program before. After added, it says Odin v3, then it goes to file analysis....... It never leaves this point. Where can I find more information on this topic. Cant get to a restore point either, think I am in trouble!!!!!

I believe you do need to repartition, as the ICS builds use an MTD file scheme, and rewriting that would be part of the process.
The Phone--/!\--PC screen should work the same as download mode.
And, as b-eock mentioned above, make sure you're running Odin as an administrator.

Nope. Look in the one-clicks thread in the development section for a Heimdall one-click. It will set itself up on your Windows machine and do all the same flashing stuff that Odin can do.

Its giving me the error that the msvcp100 is missing even though i installed the microsoft thing it asks for
Is it safe to say that I'm pretty much screwed and take it to an ATT store and say this happened while I was upgrading to gingerbread?
I tried a GB one-click and now a puple screen? WTF is going on!
Have you rebooted the computer since running the installation? Try that first. Sometimes a reboot will pick up the changes you've made.
By the way, with Heimdall you'll need to pay attention to what USB port you have the phone plugged into. Heimdall associates itself with one port at a time (the port the phone was attached to when you ran the installer).
HOLY CRAP!!!! that GB one click gave me download mode back
But its not accepting anything, it connects to the computer but then sits at setup_connection
OK it looks like its gonna work!!!!!!!!!!!

Heimdall saved me a couple of times but remember that, since it uses a different set of usb drivers, you may end up with some difficulty with Odin later on due to the different drivers.
If Heimdall does work and you computer has difficulty with Odin, Apex makes a Heimdall package with CWM so you can go from there. I am back on Slim ICS now.

Try Heimdall one more time, but this time, grab one of the bootloader packages. It sounds like there's a mismatch between your bootloaders and your rom (e.g. froyo bootloaders and gb rom).
