[Q] Unbrick my Galaxy S Captivate - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I unbrick my phone? The three button method into download mode isn't working. I there any other methods besides a jig?

Plug factory USB into a spot on the motherboard, not a hub. Remove battery, plug USB into phone, hold volume up & down. While holding volume up & down insert battery.
If that won't put you in download mode I doubt anything else will..

I personally use the Plug USB Cord into computer then plug it into phone while holding Vol Up and Down, but if this method or the one mentioned above don't work then you'll need a Jig.

[Q] Surefire download mode, is it safe?

I've tried all the variants of battery pulling and button comboing, but the most surefire way that has worked first time every time for me is pulling the battery, holding down volume + and -, plugging in USB, and inserting battery.
Now is it safe??

The only difference I se between what you're doing and what is typically reccommended is you are inserting the battery last instead of the usb cable.
The normal method is with battery in and power off to hold both volume buttons and insert the usb cable. I really don't see that its really that different and the only thing I would say could be unsafe is if you were to insert the battery incorrectly considering you're trying to hold buttons and whatnot while inserting it you could potentially bend one of the contacts. Other than that I would say do what works for you.

[Q] Droid 4 Will Not Boot in Any Mode

My attempt to root my stock Jelly Bean Droid 4 two night was inadvertently interrupted (cable was accidentally disconnected mid-process) and now I can't get it to do anything. It won't charge or boot into any mode at all.
I ordered a factory adapter from Team Black Hat, which arrived today (California to NY in two days, not bad USPS). I attached the adaptr, plugged it into my phone, and then connected it to my computer using the USB cable that came with the phone. Nothing happened. I left it a few minutes, and then tried the power button and the power + volume to try and get it into recovery mode. Still nothing. I've also tried a few different cables, to the same result.
When I remove the adapter and just plug in the cable, the green LED turns on and stays on, but only when connected to my PC. Plugging into the wall charger does nothing.
Have a missed a step some place or is my phone completely knackered?
Just rooting shouldn't have bricked it, what was the method you were using, file name?

If you hold both volume buttons and press power - will you in bootloader menu?

Does not boot into download mode. Hard Bricked or Not ?

Hi, i have a galaxy s3 and i was using it with a battery which is nearly dead. Last day, phone powered down due to low battery and it does not boot now.
I tried to enter download mode with the combination of [Power + Volume Down + Home] but it does not work.
Made a jig cable with 300K resistor and it does not work too.
I connect it to PC and device connected notif. sound heared but after couple of seconds its disconnected.
Phone vibrating and charge icon appears if i plug charge cable.
Are there another way to enter download mode or i have to flash it via jtag port with Riff Box etc. (bad news is i don't have it)

Any way to turn the phone on without buttons?

Ok, so I don't have buttons and USB debugging was off. Battery was drained, the phone turned off and now I don't know how to turn it back on. Is there any way through command line?
Put the phone on charge let the battery have some charge in it.
if any case volume down button is working then you can start your device by connecting usb to your device first and then holding down volume button and then connect usb cable to PC (your PC must need adb drivers installed if not then install it first)
test point method should also help but i am not sure though.
I charged the battery but the phone didn't turn on the OS, I can see the battery level only.
Uhm... I don't have buttons at all. I mean physically. They're gone because I broke the buttons' tape [emoji23]

I'm in a messy situation. im scared.

Recently i got my Honor 9 lite and in a few weeks i managed to install openkirin Resurrection remix. all was good till i decided that i was having ram issues so i then found out about project treble.
This is where the original problem started I used the ARM A Decendent rom and i flashed it to a bootloop. whenever i tried to go back to stock or RR i'd have the same thing. i've tried many things but eventually i made a batch file to erase and reflash all of the stock software.
now i made some typos and the kernal didn't flash. now im stuck with a brick that wont turn on. im ****ting myself. im very scared and i desperately need help. im a ****ing idiot.
Atleast when i plug it in my computer detects it as "USB Ser"
UPDATE: i installed some kind of driver on my PC. it now shows up as "HUAWEI USB COM 1.0 (COM 7)"
I'm actively looking for board software to fix this issue. if you are able to obtain it. DM me on telegram: @AmethystLegit
Its for a LLD-L31
+ I cant get into fastboot
Ok power the phone off fully so whilst it is plugged in your computer press and hold the power button till USB item is removed from the device manager now press volume up and plug the USB cable into a charger see if it will boot into recovery mode from there, then download the firmware from that area.

Hmm. i've held the button down but it only restarts. i've had it plugged in for awhile now and windows made a disconnect sound a few times. it hasn't unplugged itself. maybe ill check the device manager once thats happened again. and then ill hold vol up

It literally just happened. the item is still there. i guess we could run it out of battery
That could be one way or press and hold the power button for 10 seconds whilst disconnected from USB and hold the volume up button then plug the USB in while it's connected to a charger, the only pins needed is the power pins not data pins. volume up trick doesn't work whilst data pins are working I.E connected to PC you must use a phone charger.

Assuming the cable that came with the phone is a phone charger and not data. its not working. i dont think i have any of such around. ill try running the battery out.
meanwhile im now actively looking for board firmware to try a different method but i've gotten nowhere
The cable with the phone also has the data pins, else how would you transfer your files, please try using the Charger and Volume method like i suggested.
