Seemed to be softbricked... - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am able to see the battery screen along with the AT&T screen, as I have read I am in a boot loop. I have been reading upon reading and there doesn't seem to be something straight forward to do, but I may be overlooking.
I was wondering if anyone could steer me into the correct direction.
Thanks! Much Appreciated!

Quick update, was able to get into download mode...

If you're in download mode, flash a stock package and go from there

[Q] [SOLVED] Boot looped, Can't use Recovery mode..

Hi everyone.. after hours and hours of reading and studying on this website I really got myself into a mess and I just can't seem to climb out of it.. I desperately need some grade A help..
To be descriptive, I was trying to flash Serendipity 7, I was following the steps, used odin 3 1.7, I put all the files where they needed be, and followed it down to a tee, I pressed start, and then my phone goes into a boot loop... So I google around to look for solutions, and I thought I found one, well after I flash this "P-SBL.tar.md5" some tar file that is meant to fix the 3 button recovery mode issue. (Basically my cappy can't select anything in recovery mode due to it not having a "ok" button..) So I try it.. and not my recovery mode is littered with multi colored lines.. and I can't seem to get them to go away.
If anyone can help me I would forever be in your debt.. I would be happy just to go back to stock 2.2 if possible.. or perhaps advice on getting serendipity 7 to work.
I could make it happen if only I could get my recovery mode to work. D:
Please anyone help, I'm in dire need..
Thanks!
Search for "stock kb2 adam outler"
Then after you get back to stock, stay that way until you have done about 12 more hrs of research and reading. You were lucky that you didn't hard brick your phone, and you don't realize it. Don't just flash something because you"think"it will fix it. Know what you are flashing and what it will do to your phone. And you can call me an a#&h&$#if you want, but i believe most of the regular users here would agree me.

Totally agree !!
suoh18, If....wow....whoa....dude don't be so trigger happy to flash. You were this " | " <---(that is a thin thin line by the way) to having a brick.
They need to get rid of that 3 button fix, its bricked more phones than I know, it should include both bootloaders and not just the one, I would contact Adam Outler like mrhaley said, to see if he can help, 3 button fix brick may require a jtag.
I know I was.. I was just reading what everyone was saying how easy it was.. it was my first flash and I guess it just back fired on me.. x_x
I really appreciate your help a ton, you have no clue how thankful I am.
I'm downloading what I need right now and I'm praying it works, thank you again so much.

Keep us posted on the end result.
I just used the program.. and it very well got my phone back on the right track. The boot looping stopped, it's back on the recovery mode that I can actually use, but after it loads it just goes to a black screen and keeps vibrating, I read that if it doesn't work the first time to check the flash bootloaders button. so I'm going to reboot one more time, then try that.
Thanks a ton guys, you really are great.
EDIT:
Which I think I need to do, because I still have a weird Galaxy S starting screen that appeared after I tried to flash serendipity.
EDIT 2:
Okay, After re-flashing the bootloaders it removed that screen that shouldn't have loaded, but I still get a black screen after the boot and nothing shows up..
I can enter and exit my recovery and download modes fine..
EDIT3:
Okay.. I went back into recovery mode and literally just wiped everything I could.. cache, user data, internal card, and after I rebooted again, viola it worked.
I'm so happy and I am seriously very appreciative. You guys are great and there has always been a reason why I respect this community so much.
Thanks again everyone that helped me, I don't know how much I can say it, but really, thank you so so so much, you are amazing.

[Q] help with galaxy s 897 in download mode

my phone was stuck on the att world phone screen then i finally got it into the downloading mode. its been in downloading mode for about an hour now, does anyone know how long this should take or what else im suppose to do? im clueless about phones! please help! thank you nicole!
Read the stickies and get to know how these phones work. What's download mode, Odin, Heimdall, recovery (CWM, 2e, 3e), difference between boot loaders, etc. Lots you need to know about risk and procedure. I can't link as I don't have access to a computer.

nicole,
first what are you trying to do? as the below poster said you better read and understand the difference between various modes. understand what you are trying to achieve. the flashing is very serious task and to be taken seriously. there are risks involved and you better understand all. i have been reading for months before i did my first flash. after that it gets easy.

Stock phone, reload software

Bought a used M7 on Ebay, and worked when I got it, then between activation and getting software updates and a low battery something happened the first day and it will not load past to boot screen. It is possible it tried an OTA update with a low battery?However, I can get it to be seen by fastboot. Is it possible to flash the stock software on to the phone to see if I can fix it? I see lots of guides but they all deal with phones that have been modified, which doesn't help me for it is completely stock. If it helps my HBOOT is 1.56. I hope someone can help or point me in the right direction! The phone was great for the brief time I could use it!
Would this apply, to a completely stock phone?

I found the info I was looking for, needed to get the correct RUU and was able to reflash my software, the fact it was unmoddified had no effect. Maybe this will help someone in a similar situation!

[Q] Can't get into Download Mode - Softbrick

Hi all, having some trouble trying to repair this phone (Specifically the D405N), I've been looking all over on how to boot the phone into a recovery/download mode so I can proceed with flashing a kdz file as most guides inform me to do, however I've hit a road block with this one.
The download mode is showing the Secure booting error: Boot certification verify that most people with a softbrick run into. Is this phone better off going back to the manufacturer to get it fixed? Or can anyone think of a way that I could revive this phone from it's early grave?
If you need any additional info from me, let me know and I'll try get back to you asap. Thanks!

Face, first, excuse my English, I used google translator to translate.
I had a problem with mine, he did not care, did not carry, gave no sign of life, just after giving img flash in the KDZ, result, not found anywhere no solution, one xda member recommended me forward for assistance, that's what I did, headed for assistance (it was the best solution), they performed substituting the central board, in my case I still had warranty then had the repair without cost. Take it in for repair assistance, I said I put my to load at night and when I woke up in the morning, he was not calling woes.
Good luck.

Noob here - screwed up my T-Mobile One M9?

Hi XDA community,
I'm scared out of my mind. Tried rooting for the first time ever, but don't actually know what I'm doing. Using various guides I found in these forums, I:
1. Used HTCdev to unlock the bootloader
2. Used ADB to install TWRP 3.0.2-0
3. Used TWRP to install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76.zip
Once that finished, my phone tried booting up (the white HTC logo) but now it has the red development build text at the bottom.... and then it gets into an infinite boot loop.
I don't know how to fix my phone. Please someone here with guidance, please help.
I've got the same identical issue.
I was able to get out of the boot loop by holding volume up and power, and I got back to download mode. From there, since the SU update I tried to install boot looped me (I was following this tutorial), I jumped ahead and just installed cm13 as I was planning to.
This install went fine, but then I ran into the issue of the rom not recognizing my sim card. I've been researching this problem and I guess I need to update my baseband? I tried for hours but I do not know how to accomplish this, and couldn't figure it out for the life of me. This thread on the cyanongenmod forum seemed to be the closest thing to help I could find, but still it didn't help very much.
So at this point now I'm trying to back out and unroot my phone and get everything back to factory settings; it doesn't feel worth it anymore to me since I've just had trouble every step of the way. I've been trying to follow this post to get back to at least a usable factory rom. But I can't even get this one to install because I cannot access my phone through adb while it's in download mode. Furthermore the instructions are just confusing me because I'm not so versed in the nomenclature of these procedures.
Is there anyone that can help me get back to complete stock t-mobile sense? Or if not, help me get my cm13 rom to recognize my sim card so I can at least have my phone working in some capacity? I'd be tremendously grateful of either. I'm really in over my head here and quite scared I won't be able to figure this out.
