Captivated Brick Question

So I think my phone may be dead. I decided to Odin 1-click to Eclair from Cognition beta 1. My phone started, made it to rfs and then froze. The phone will not boot, recognize usb, charge, anything.
Does Eclair one click flash primary and secondary bootloaders? I know without them ordering a jig is useless. I have an upgrade and I can get a new phone but I would much rather fix my captivate. Any help guys?

I have odin'd back to stock from Cog 5 without problem but if you used the odin with the three button fix, you are screwed. the 3 button fix odin will mix bootloaders since it only loads one froyo/eclair bootloader.

Alright, I finally have time to sit at the computer.
The phone was running Cognition 5Beta1.
I did not use ODIN 1-click. I used ODIN3 v1.0, placed pit.pit in the pit, placed PDA in the PDA, Connected the phone and held the vol bumper. Phone booted into download and connected as COM4. (JF7 software) I clicked start, the phone made it all the way to RFS, the green bar made it approx 20% across and then the bump, the progress bar froze and would not continue any further. Now phone will not respond to any button. However, the battery was warm when I left it on the charger all night.
Doesn't the phone need the primary bootloader for charging?
I made the $1 JIG and failed. I do not have steady hands though. I'm pretty sure the phone needs JTAG but just wanted to sit and type everything out to make sure. I figured if sbl.bin completed that I would have a bootloader.

To answer my own question, my phone now has mismatched bootloaders and needs JTAG. Looks like it will be sent off soon.

Yeah That happened to me. Had GB loaders and went back to stock using JF6 secure. However I checked for an OTA update and there was one. So being the experimental type I downloaded it and while it was installing it failed halfway and complete Brick.....I realized soon afterwards my mistake. A few days and $50 later MobileTech sent me back a stock fixed device. Well worth it.
Last night I tried to use ODIN 3 1.3 to go back to stock out of a bootloop and since I have a new model captivate it doesn't play nice with 1.3. Got the infamous blackout. Thought I bricked again but soon after the phone-PC image appeared and I knew there was hope.
Used the JIG and ODIN3 1.8
to flash stock and reflashed my ROM.
Looking for an alternative to Continuum. seems to get laggy after a week or so. With an SGS 2 on the way I may go back to Froyo on this one or COG beta 5

Are you sure? Read AdamOutler's thread on the one click unbrick. Its possible you trashed a different file that is causing the black screen.

I tried the one click unbrick. Adam is doing some awesome work there. It will help a lot of people. Unfortunately, I was not one of them.
I looked at the flashing order and traced to where my flash failed. I only flashed one bootloader. A gingerbread/eclair mix doesn't boot, Haha.
It was also a pleasure talking to you as well. I've also decided one thing, I'm ditching this Atrix when my Captivate is fixed. It's a really awesome phone but I can't stand not having an AMOLED. Looks like I'll be waiting on the Galaxy S II to make it over.

It may sound silly, but i encountered the same problem today.
Disconnected my usb when working with odin and got permanently bricked.
Phone did not turn on, no indicator of charging, freaked out..
All i did was kept my mobile for charging for 20 mins even though it did not display that battery bar, disconnected from power supply, took out sim, ext sd, and removed the battery for 1 min and put it back and tried out the two button download mode, and done, my phone went into download mode, and then recovered everything back..
I know it sounds silly, but maybe of some help...

[Q] <>This far from throwing my Galaxy S through the window! Pls Help!!

Can anyone help?
My Galaxy S froze today, as I reset it by taking the batt off, it would get past the loading Galaxy S screen.
I cannot get it either into recovery or download mode, i have tried every combo you can, dropped batt and in whilst holding buttons, I have tried inserting pc usb whilst doing the same, surely if its loading its recoverable, not sure about this jig thing??
Would rather fix it now!
Pls help guys n gals

Some phones didn't have recovery or download mode working from factory. Mine was like that but applied a fix just in case to avoid any future problems such as yours.
Seems like a jig is your only hope now. They go pretty cheap on eBay but if you can't wait then you can make one youself if you know how.
Good luck!

Plug phone into PC, if it still works you can force it into recovery or download mode by using ADB

Since this is the OP's first post, it might be a good idea to include a link to where ADB is explained.
Anyway, go to this post and then go to section 3.

The jig is cheap on eBay. I was hesitant of getting one when I was on eClair, but it has worked each and every time that I've used it.
Just find a seller that has sold a few with positive feedback, but yeah I got into download mode no problem using it where I was "totally locked out" before like where you are at...

Ignore the jig options because it is stupid and the adb option is better and easy! Search it to activate download and recovery then flash a gingerbread rom then galnet, you'll then wanna make sweet love to your galaxy

I was in the same situation a year ago, I couldn't make jig and it would take a nother day so I did the following:
Took a hairdryer , took the batt out of the phone, and used the hairdryer on the phones back(where the batt should be), then I think I placed the batt back, and applied the hairdryer again and it went into download mode !
If this doesn't work, just make or get a JIG, if you don't trust it , take ya phone to a Samsung Service Center (I'm lucky there's one 10km from my house)
Good luck !

The JIG is the best solution here!! it worked for me personally..not long ago!!! YESTERDAY!!! n thats the best 0.99$ dollars av ever spent...

solved my problems!!

+1 for ADB method, JIG is fine too but it's unnecessary if your PC can detect the phone when plugged in through the USB port, plus the JIG takes time to ship

dude!! i made a JIG in 10 mins!!

And ADB method takes less than a minute, plus, not everyone has resistors lying around the house.

fine!! relax man!! i was just suggesting!!

Captivate powers off when plugged in and does not charge

My Captivate turns off instantly when plugged in and does not charge. It will also not turn back on after having been plugged in. I have to take the battery out and plug it back in to get it turn power on. It will not boot into download mode either. It seems as though the charger port may be fried. Does anyone have any experience and can help out with this?
I um unable to charge the phone now and have less than 30% battery life.

Haven't personally had any probs like this with my captivate, but i can highly recommend mobiletechvideos.com for the repair/replacement of the micro usb port if that ends up being the problem.

It is the micro usb port. I just don't know where to go to get it fixed. I personally don't have a solderer or even know how to use one.

Thanks. I checked it out. I found a smart phome repair shop in my town that does repairs on my particular model. I am going to check them out first. If they can't fix it I will send it in to MobileTechVideos. Thank you so much for your help. I am very new to XDA and to android development. It's nice to have people willing to help.

last chance(my)

Hi
Is there anyway back for a hard bricked Galaxy Note mobile...ie. wont turn on, wont go to recovery and wont go to download mod.
oh and the computer wont recognise it. :crying::crying:
thanks

It might be useful to tell us how exactly you bricked it. What software you were running, what you were trying to accomplish and other pieces of information like that...

As mentioned on other post last hope is JIG only in situation you are having.

The rom that was on the phone i think was kingdroid-ics-notemania-edition
The rom i was installing was paranoid-note-v01
The kernal was franco.kernal-r5
It just stopped in the middle of install and switched off.
The problem is I bought it of ebay about 4 months ago so have no proof of purchase.
If i took it to samsung service would they repair if I was willing to pay.
regards

Why you not taking chance first with jig, now just buy jig, if that will bring you to download mode then still chance to put life to ur device is there, if that won't work then last chance is ssc.

Yes there may b chance they can repair even without cost, b'oz i still won't say it is bricked.

I've read your previous post. Seems like you had flash a lot, at least 10 flashes right? Had you ever reset your flash count? Like using Triangle away?
I don't know if the centre can reboot to system, but even by using USB JIG, you can reach download mode, which will show flash count and device status(official or custom).
But if only they can get to download mode. So lets hope they wont.
Good luck.

Not sure if all device will reset the count when using Jig, but it didn't on s3 mini, s4, and galaxy grand duos. I have 1, home made, tried on those phone. It work, just didn't reset the bin count. But maybe its different from the phone centres Jig. Lets hope your board totally fried.

If the centre can wake your phone, I believe jig would work in it. Lucky you.

AFAIK it will works, as long the resistor is in the phone range(mine is 300ohm) it'll work on s3 mini. Take you straight to Download mode.
