Samsung captivate - hard bricked - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My samsung captivate had never given me any problems(in the very short but good few months I've had it) until I tried to downgrade from Gingerbread(2.3.5) to Froyo about 4 days back.
While using Odin 1 click (and the phone was rooted) to accomplish what I just said, the process seemingly carried out perfectly, the "passed" message appeared in Odin and it looked like it was a success, but instead of rebooting as usual after flashing, my Cappy just went completely blank, and has stayed like that ever since. :crying:
I have tried every button combo there is, and since Jigs are for soft bricks, I guess there's no use.
The only remedy that I haven't gone for yet, is Jtag.
Can someone, anyone, PLEASE help me here!?
Hoping someone gets it working here..

Yep. If zero signs of life...even when wall charging, then sounds like hard brick.
Which Odin did u use to downgrade ??
Just curious...

Well I've used Odin 3 v 1.8.5 and even Odin3 v1.7 many, many times and it's all run perfectly, but this one was Odin 3 One Click v 1.00
I've never bricked a phone ever, and yeah this one's a badass hard brick for sure.
ANY help would be really appreciated, all!

Can you provide a link to the thread you dl'd from?

As you can see, it's from here. That's the Odin I used, but I don't think there was anything wrong with the file(at least I hope not)
It completed the process, gave the "passed" message, and then the phone went blank, like immediately.
Any thoughts on how that may have happened? 'Cause I thought it may have been bricked due to Odin crashing, but it did go through till the end, seemingly successful.

^ ^ This jig, is it for a hard bricked captivate or a soft bricked one? 'Coz although I'm definitely not confident with tearing up a micro USB cable, I'm going to give it a shot tomorrow. Heading to Radioshack first thing in the morning. Last shot God dammit :/

Jig won't do anything for a "Hard" Brick...only J-tag and/or Unbrickable Mod.

Something had to go wrong when the jf6 bootloaders were flashed, obviously. If u did not close that Odin yet (unlikely, i know) u could scroll through the log and see what it says about the boot.bin and sbl.bin.

Well Odin was closed, as expected. So that's not an option obviously.
Is Jtag doable by users, like could I get instructions on how to go about it? Or would I have to send it in?
And any other ideas?

Regardless, i recommend mobiletechvideos.com for the fix.

Dude if nothing works and you have had the phone for less than 1 year call at&t tell him you had your phone plugged into your computer over night charging, you woke up and the phone won't turn on now. And yiur house lost power and regained and there must have been a power surge around your area. You don't know what happened but it won't respond to anything....also do you know if your tripped the flash counter at all? Or did you reset it? P.m. me if any help needed I just went through this with my note....if all else fails p.m. me I have another fix but it isn't free but its cheaper than buying a new phone outright...

Well I thought of that too, but then there's a problem. I actually bought this phone from a friend, a couple months ago, since I wasn't sure how good of a model this was and I didn't want to go get myself a new Cappy just to be let down and want another one, you know?
Still, spent 160$ on it.
Anyway, he doesn't have the receipt, there's no way I can get att to replace it like you suggested.
And just a side note, the phone was in mint condition, never even been rooted before it got to me, lol!
Btw nope, no flash counter.

Huh? Att will not ask for a receipt when doing a warranty exchange...I've never had an issue with people not having receipts for a manufacturer defect....you will be fine as long as the phone was purchase less than a year ago

I thought they'd need it as proof, but thanks!
I'll head over to ATT in a couple hours and see what they say.
I'll let you know.

FYI - the return may have a hiccup in it. Since you bought it from a friend and not from AT&T (or an authorized reseller), they don't have any proof of how long you've had it. There's no way for them to know whether you got it yesterday or 2 years ago, so they may put up a fight about honoring the warranty.
This is just speculation, but I just wanted to throw it out there that it may not go as smoothly as we would all like it to go for you.

Thanks for the heads up though!
Any suggestions on how I should go about it then? Should I even tell ATT that I got it from a friend? Instead I could say I got it from ATT but lost the receipt...maybe a loophole somewhere.

If the phone had been activated for less than a year and its not a refurbished unit, they should replace it.

Will at&t know?

If I flash back to stock rom, will they be able to tell that I have flashed other roms?
I'm considering trying to get a replacement due to random shut downs. My work has me on call and sometimes I pick up my phone and I don't know how long it's been off. My employees often text me important stuff from the job. So this is important to me.
So will they be able to tell?
Nope, make sure to master clear and then get the JH7 update to be sure.

Agreed.
Though I suggest you hold out for another week or two and have them replace it for the Inspire. I'm going to do that soon, and speak to their 'Android specialists' about it.
Two things I don't like about that phone are the size (it's huge) and the lcd screen. I don't think I could go to an lcd after using samoled.
Plus, how would that work. I have a 2 year commitment with this phone, how could I trade for that one. I'm well past my trial period.
did you buy phone insurance? u coulda always just drop the phone and bust the screen.
if not, flash back to stock and the n00bs in the store wont know the difference. however, if you are well past your trial period, att is gonna send you to samsung more than likely. at least that is what they tried to do with me. my first captivate shut down every time i got a text message.
If you're insisting on switching phones, contact warranty and they'll send you another one. After they've sent you two Captivates, you are within your rights to ask for a different make and model. If they don't comply just ask for the Resolutions team, and they'll help you out.
thank you all

Because insurance fraud is always a good idea (purposely breaking your phone is insurance fraud FYI).
yeah. just say you lost your phone and keep it as a spare. i've done it twice now with no problems what so ever.

[Q] soft brick?

So I was flashing the steam kernel and it failed using Odin. I then got the infamous pic with the cell phone-exclamation-computer. I have had this happen in the past. No prob right? I have a jig which I've used before several times and it worked. Now when I use the jig i get the same pic, not download. I tried adb. device not found. tried pluging in with both vol up and down pressed, same thing. Any suggestions? I'm hoping this is recoverable. I've even tried taking out the battery, plug in usb to comp than phone, holding down vol down button and putting back the battery. Same prob. Tried reinstalling the drivers....same prob.
The fact that your getting that image is a great sign. The jig you are using may be not functioning properly. If its a home made jig, they can easily become ineffective if you touch the resistors. That changes the resistance of the whole jig and will fail to put the phone in download.

It's a jig I bought of ebay. It's worked several times in the past.
I soft bricked and got that picture. When I plugged into Odin one click it lit up, and I flashed back to stock. It didn't do it the first time. I opened Odin, plugged in, and held all three buttons, as it looped. After two or three loops, it recognized in Odin, and I was able to restore to stock.
I tried what I was flashing in the first place, and soft bricked again, this time no matter what I did Odin was no go, but I was able to fix with a jig.
Give Odin a try. Others have had that too: phone!computer working as download mode.

Quarlow, you are AWESOME!!!!! Got it to stock again. Didn't use oneclick cuz this build is a 1010 build, so i've been apprehensive about using it, so instead I used Odin 3 v1.52 and used ucjh2 in the pda and 512 pit and repartitioned. Odin recognized the phone even though I had the phone!comp thing going on. First time it failed so I tried again and it worked perfectly. Thanks much my friend, I would've never thought to just try it without having download and the shoveling droid.

If you haven't soft bricked yet then your not flashing enough then I haven't needed mine in quite a while but it is worth it to have around for sure rather than when it happens and you struggle to build one or wait to buy one for a few days/week. Cheapest insurance to have around.
Plus I think most roms have progressed enough that is less common to have bugs in them that would soft brick the phone. But maybe 6-8 months ago with trying out all the different 2.1 and 2.2 roms it was bound to happen. If it wasn't for me getting soft bricked on occasions and learning how to recover from it I wouldn't of learned half what I think I know...

Since I updated to 2.3 with the GB bootloaders I have not needed my jig. I put one together from a spare cord and 2X150k resistors - worked great when I needed it.
I'm on vacation now and want to flash something but dont have my jig...you know how that goes when you need it most...

Through one of my flashing...bricking...odin one clicking I lost my bootloaders that gave me the ability to hold buttons and get into DL or recovery mode. This was all while playing around with 2.1 - 2.2. Since going to 2.3 the button method has always worked...although I still keep the jig handy...just in case...

I'll keep an eye out if you ever hard brick... . Bricking is typically a part of flashing. Very highly recognized DEV's have PM'd me after hard bricking. There's no shame in it as it happens every now and then.

I soft bricked my older Captivate, but was able to Odin back to stock then to Froyo via Kies. Since I was back to stock I tried the following after reading that ATT was replacing older Captivates.
Just letting everyone know who has a Galaxy S phone. I called ATT (6/21/11)and let them know that my phone has random shutdowns (once monthly), they checked the EMIE (I think that is what it is called) # on the phone, and they are replacing at no cost. I currently have a remanufactured (30 day warranty)1006 build I purchased Oct. 2010. My new SGS is shipped.

[Q] Who has two thumbs and hard bricked his cappy? This guy.

Hey guys. I've had my cappy since last august (one year, obviously) and today an act of god happened while I was trying to flash my phone to serendipity 6.4 - lightning struck my dorm building (poor college student), and the power went out.
anywho, as you know the warranty period is one year (stupid if you're locked in for 2 years, imho) and guess what? my warranty expired YESTERDAY. FML. called AT&T and they won't let me get a new one now, and I'm not eligible for an upgrade. so... i have two options - shell out a lot of cash that I don't have for an insurance replacement or new phone, or fix my phone. I've tried making a jig, and it didn't work. None of the key combos work. It always goes to the phone-warning-computer screen. I searched and searched for a miracle solution but found nothing. Does anyone have anything I can try?
If not... is there anyone out there with an HTC inspire or captivate they'd be willing to sell me? This is the only phone I have, I don't have a backup, nor a home phone line.
With the pc screen you can't hold down the volume buttons and plug in usb with Odin running? If you're on gb kf1 bootloaders I remember seeing somewhere that screen is download mode. Worth a try.
That's one of my biggest fears. Precisely why I started using my laptop for flashes.

If ur seeing signs of some kind of life, then ur not hard bricked.
Edit: This may get u into download mode... Pull battery, insert usb into computer (with Odin already open), insert micro usb into ur phone, replace battery. If u get into download mode, put the battery cover on then proceed.

This is precisely the reason why I do all my flashing from my laptop and I have a jig (or two) around me...and an entire pack of resistors on my desk somewhere. I went to the shack the other day and bought the 10 dollar super pack of resistors, and as a Computer Engineering major, I should never have to buy resistors ever again...I gives you somewhere around 500 resistors of differing resistance.
worked with another jig (a better made one)? Gratz!!

I'm really sorry but your device is done. The skyrocket people haven't been able to fix this yet by using a jig or qualcomm tools.
Reading and researching is really important. You can't flash any p73xx rom to the i957, it will brick.
This is exactly why I have tried to get a separate forum for the i957, but that hasn't worked yet.
Hope you are under warranty or that is an expensive mistake.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I did the exact same thing you did. It is very confusing (Well not really, I just did'nt take my time to read). I was exhausted because I was very happy to have my new skyrocket and new lte tab. I researched and researched. I rooted, installed custom rom and kernel on my skyrocket. I then rooted my tablet and it was great. I then installed a custom rom for a 7300 on my i957 and Boom, gone. Luckily I was within my 30 day return policy. Everything in my home is either jailbroken, rooted, homebrewed, w/e. so I have somewhat experience.
But the combination of tiredness, excitedness, and what ever else comes along with getting new gadgets, I didn't pay attention and blew up my tablet.
Even with my experience and never bricking anything before, I bricked my tablet. I took it back to the store and making believe I never even heard about rooting, jailbreaking, homebrewing; the sales people tried starting it up and eventually they couldn't get it to start up. I got a new tablet, I told them I left the tablet charging overnight and left it charging when I went to work, because I forgot to disconnect it. When I got home from work it just didn't turn on.
Eventually they gave me a new tablet and said do not charge it for more than 8 hours. They said I was the first customer to ever return this tablet because it was defective (This tablet is a beast). I told them sure I learned my lesson.
When I went home, I rooted it lol and installed the oc kernel. Remember there are no roms for the 4g model.
Before I went back to the store where I purchased my phone&tablet, I found that there is a youtube store that fixes bricked phones and tablets (He has videos of him fixing them) but when I emailed him, he said their program does not support in unbricking the lte tablet. This was about a month ago so you can check to see if they support it now. I think to unbrick phones it was like 50-100 dollars (I forgot)
You are not alone, I made the same dumb mistake. Never do important stuff when you are tired or excited or anxious. Sorry man, good luck.
I may have put this in the wrong area it was late last night and I was frustrated. I tried putting a 7300 ROM on a 7300. I didn't try anything fancy lol. But I appreciate the responsses. You think I'll be able to take it back and see what they can do? Maybe they'll exchange it as if it was a defect? I'll take it there today. See if they will exchange.lesson learned for me. Lesson being wait for updates from Samsung. As slow as they are. Lol thanks for the input if anyone has the capability to fix this

A 7300 rom on a 7300 should only soft brick. Can you get into download or recovery?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
If you try to turn on your tablet and your screen turns on you can try to install the stock rom through odin again and it will work. There is a thread in this forums that explains how. If it is off and you turn it on and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING happens and it just stays with the black screen, no vibration or anything then it is hard bricked.
If it is hard bricked you can try to take it back and act dumb, not sure how long ago you purchased the tablet. If you are still within the 30 days you should be good because the sales people I took my tablet to did not have the machine to see how many times my device was flashed. If you are outside the 30 days they will tell you to send it to a samsung repair dealer (which I think they will see how many times the device has been flashed). Once you rooted your tablet it voids the warranty and they either do not have to fix it or will charge you an amount equal to your tablet. I did hear of cases where people with rooted tablets just returned it and they fixed it for free. I guess it dpeneds on anything else in life (How lucky are you?)
Yes you did put your question on the right place since this is for all the 8.9 tablets. (Thats the problem I came across with, I wish they make two forums for both tablets because they are in fact different.
Posting from my mobile so I didn't read your post again.
It is extremely rare but sometimes this can happen. Did you have repartition checked in Odin? If so that's bad.
There is something called qpst - qualcomm product support tools - that people are trying to get to work to fix hard bricks.

You're screwed dude. If it's still under warranty take it to att and tell them it won't turn on. Then play dumb.
Next time flash the stock Rom from sammobile.com when your soft bricked. Don't mess with the pit.

If it's out of the warranty, call Samsung. They are very nice, they probably will charge you, but I think it's worth it. If it's in warranty, they may at least pay shipping back and forth, but play dumb. Maybe it should be under $200.00. I sent my Galaxy Note to Texas and it cost me $180.00 to replace the LCD+Touch, but they paid shipping.
For me it was worth it, not sure how much an i957 goes for on ebay these days, $350?

I sent my Galaxy Note to Texas and it cost me $180.00 to replace the LCD+Touch, but they paid shipping.
For me it was worth it, not sure how much an i957 goes for on ebay these days, $350?
