Well I had a problem, root days ago my Samsung Galaxy i897 (AT & T) Android 2.3.5 The root am not perfect, but after a few days stopped working. Try re-do the root and the installation stopped I had to remove the battery and slide back in the surprise was that the phone was with the yellow triangle, buy a USB JIG which is not served by the version of "boot loader" had to put oldest one ... I did then the Bootloader Changing the phone does not start does absolutely nothing Any help?
PD Sorry my bad English, Use Google Translate
If u have absolutely no signs of life, like when u plug it up to charge, etc., then u have hard bricked it and it can only be brought back to life through j-tag or unbrickable mod.
If u do have signs of life and you can get into download mode then you can flash a Stock Firmware (i897ucKK4 is the latest official release). If that works to get you up and going, you can use the [Utility] KK4 Easy Root by Red_81to get Root.

The cell phone does nothing, and to change the boot (that was what caused the problem) but to give the light button several hours after the battery gets hot (as if turned on) but the pc does not recognize it by placing the USB mode and also download anything served
PS So the solution would be a brick Full? :/
The solution or fix is in my previous post.
The problem seems to have been a bootloader flash gone bad. Flashing Bootloaders on the Captivate is one of the few real risky things to flash.
Do you recall what you flashed before the phone messed up ?? What bootloader or ??

I do remember what happened before does not turn or do anything, had loaded several roms before, but decided to charge a short while installing the installation, to switch it appeared to me the typical yellow triangle, buy a USB JIG which is not served by the the android version (2.3.5) the only solution that worked for the JIG was loading a bootloader older, oldest Download a bootloader that according served, connect the phone Odin opened the PDA and place it in load bootLoader, the cell is turn off (I had to reboot) and there did not catch more bone turn give the button and nothing happens the screen goes black, I can not enter download mode because it obviously will not start, sorry for my low English ,to connect the usb the pc does not recognize it does not leave any warning or anything like that
Not sure why the Jig did not work, even with i897uckk4 android 2.3.5 ??
Anyway, sorry....it does sound like it is hard bricked. So like I said before, the only fix would be J-tag and/or Unbrickable Mod.
Not sure where you are located, but if in the U.S. you could contact mobiletechvideos.com for repair. If your not in the U.S. then i don't know...

I can not do anything.... I visited all the forums, but there is a solution, but I do know if the usb jig would work .. Because all youtube video showing usb jig with the problem of the panel exclamation between the cell and the computer, but they do not show the same problem as me
Thing is IF a jig wont fix it you will have to send it to get fixed with a Jtag. Jig can be made with little cost (made mine for about $2.50) or buy em already made for $8-$11.
Keep in mind when I say the jig can fix i mean it can force your phone in to download mode.
-Pull battery
-Plug usb cable
-Put battery & hold Vol+/Vol-
If you can't go in download via this method you need a usb jig to force it.
Then reflash with Odin until successfull. You just had a bad flash and a bad fs will not let you boot the phone normally and use the button combo to go into download so you need to bypass with the usb cable method or the jig.

So let me get this right. You just bought the phone, then watched a video without reading anything and now your stuck. Please do your part is saving hard bricked devices. DO THE RESEARCH.
Yea flashing roms is a big deal you should be sure you read everything before tring then read it a 2nd and 3rd time. And not just info in the op all the info on your device.
Good luck

the phone is not recognised by kies or my computer on the pc but is recognised by odin and loads up the drivers when plugged in and shows a sucessfull pass update if i flash a new pit pda or csc file but fails on the phone one constantly.
original firmware was
pda:i9000 bujv9

Was flashing a phone from stock to pinnacle. Long story short, the blue line across the bottom was about half-way when the cable was removed. I cant get back into download mode by key combo now. I will try my jig when i get home.
Am i screwed
I know the only way to really do any damage is to screw something up when your messing with bootloaders.
Let me know what to do!
Umm...does your phone show any signs of life? If so you will be able to fix it via Jig Odin or whatever. If no signs of life at all, just black screen, doesnt come on, then you need jtag or unbrickable mod.

No signs so far, but I don't have my jig on me to try yet. If i get home and that doesn't work, what method should I try first?
how difficult is each method?

If u were using Odin, then it probably had already flashed the bootloaders. Usually the factoryfs.rfs is what takes the longest to flash. Once u get into download mode (via the Jig) just reflash the firmware and u should be good.
And fyi, since it failed because of the pulled cable, then u may get this screen... View attachment 849416. No worries. Just treat it just like a download mode screen.

The problem is they only thing I was flashing was bootloaders. I was updating to gb bootloaders before I did anything. Its in the pinnacle flash package.
i'm getting nothing from the phone right now. Its definitely not the phone ! Computer screen.
I'm about 90 percent sure i'm gonna have to use unbrickable mod or jtag to fix it. How hard is it, and where can I find that thread.

The Captivate Development Platform mod AKA UnBrickable Mod
And if u can't do the mod yourself (if u end up needing it). Then u could probably PM Adam to do it for you, because he offers that service.
Hi everyone. Im not normally in this section as i have an x8 but my friend has seen all the roms,mods and updates ive done so he tried to do it to his galaxy s i9000 without rooting or unlocking his bootloader. I asked him what he did he said he just tried to update software with keis but now it wont turn on just white screen with a red triangle in the middle i hope its download mode as i dont have a galaxy i dont really no but the battery has died and it wont charge im guessing hes damaged the bootloader am i right and if so whats the best corse of action to tepair it. Thanks.
You can check if it is in download mode by pluggin it in pc with odin. See the wiki page what it says about soft brick.
Soft-Bricked
After flashing a rom you might not be able to enter the Download Mode by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power. In this case a so called 'JIG' would be helpfull.
You could build it on your own: [HOWTO] [REF] Get Download Mode without 3-button combo using homemade JIG
... or buy a preassembled one on a well known marketplace.Hint: There is no difference between a JIG for Samsung S/S2 or S-Plus.
See if you can go into d0wnload mode with vol down home and power. If that works go and try to find the stock firmware for the phone and download and extract. Download odin and put csc pda and phone/modem in there rightful places. 512 pit in pit section. Pit usually comes with odin download. If not find it somewhere. Repartition checked and hit start. It should reboot when done. It will problaby take a couple of min to boot but be patient. If it starts to go into boot loop put back into download mode again and reflash. Its very hard to mess up the phone to where you cant fix it. So relax and watch tuts or whatever helps you best. I know of a link i that i will find and post for you when i do.

DEAD bricked phone
So, my friend's phone (hopefully she'll stay my friend after this) was turning itself on and off all on it's own. So I (no good deed goes unpunished) suggested that I will upgrade her firmware for her. She had 2.3.3 firmware. I downloaded the odin1.7 as well as a package of all the info for 2.3.5 firmware upgrade. I flashed the phone- originally only using the PDA option with a file called: CODE_I9000XXJVS_CL565837_REV03_user_low_ship
It worked, the phone restarted and showed the firmware as being 2.3.5.
I don't know why, but I thought it would be a good idea to update the CSC and the pit and the modem as well- so I did that. when this was finished - though odin said that the flashing was successful the phone is completely unresponsive. The computer doesn't recognize it, it doesn't show any signs of life at all- like it's in the dark ages and there is no electricity in it.
HELP!!!
First question: do you think a jig will work? how dangerous is it?
second question: is there any other option to try that I haven't come across other than changing the motherboard, and if there isn't do you know where I can get one, bear in mind I live in Israel.
Please e-mail me a copy of the response to [email protected] if you can...
Odin dosnt pick it up atall plus the batteries dead aswell now and the stupid thing wont charge so i cant evan try any thing till i find away or some one to charge it but thanks for the tips.

Try to recharge the battery from other phone or use another battery.
Check whether you have the download mode working. (Home+Power+Volume down)
If yes, put phone in download mode and flash Darky RE or any other Rom via ODIN. Try to get the recovery mod after rooting and then try ROMs.
Or try restarting the phone it may work without update also. Long press power in download mode restarts the phone. However be careful.
What is the status of the device can you go to download mode
Post your firmware files name and how you choose in the odin flasher.
Dont try anything crazy you will bricked your device more:banghead:

Alternate way to Download mode
Hi gavster26
I have been there with a buddy's phone... not a nice place.
Found a link showing this other trick ... but you have to trial and error this one on the different combos:
1. Phone off
2. USB cable pluged in
3. Odin running
4. Down (or Up - test both) Volume button + Home button + plug in the USB cable.
This booted my dead "bricked" phone into download mode.
Try it.
Hi, I've recently come across some trouble with my friend's captivate...(I, myself, own a Vibrant and have been an active flasher for the 2 years I've had it)
I was trying to get gingerbread bootloaders when I realized I was not on a stock 2.1/2.2 rom(I was on a 4.0 rom) and it ended up bricking my phone.
Fortunately I could still enter download mode and I then proceeded to odin back to stock JF6 firmware when I found myself waiting over an hour for the process to complete(the bar did not move at all on odin), so I decided to pull the plug and that's where everything went wrong. I've tried entering download mode but absolutely nothing happens.
TL;DR Version: Cannot enter download mode, complete black screen(No phone icon, no code, nothing)
I was wondering what the Captivate community suggests what I should...
Should I perhaps stop by Radioshack tomorrow and try this cheap jig process?

I would appreciate anything to get this device back to life right, thank you all for your time.
If u do have some signs of life, like when u plug it into a wall charger, then a Jig should work. But if no signs of life, then it probably is a hard brick. And if so, then check out mobiletechvideos.com for the repair.
