Captivate won't boot even after Odin. Download works

Hi all.
I picked up a used cappy that was "bricked" for cheap. It simply bootlooped on the AT&T screen.
Took it home, hooked it up and odin'ed stock kfc1 with bootloaders onto it. I have now tried every one click Odin or hiemdal gb file I can find, and it just sits at the att screen. Download mode works fine, recovery doesn't.
Flashing a gb kernel with cwm through odin works, but still no boot or recovery.
What am I missing?
Thanks!

you might want to try flashing a stock ROM with Odin, I'm sure you can find some around the forum =) It's really hard to hard brick the cappy, and since download mode works all you need is a working ROM, so yeah, just go with a stock ROM first

A stock ROM is what I've been attempting to do. I have tried all the 1 click stock packages in the sticky in the development forum..

Try not using a 1 click

I tried that as well.
I flashed one at a time (meaning just the bootloader, then just the kernel, and finally the rom itself), as well as everything at once.
Proper bootloaders flash fine, kernel flashes fine, and roms appear to flash fine.
Just failure to boot or recovery..
I'm at a loss..
Edit; autocorrect fail

Sounds like the same problem I'm having, unfortunately I believe it's related to a bad internal sd partition and as of yet I've found no way to fix it
If you flash stock eclair, can you enter recovery?
That was the only recovery I was able to access, from there running adb shell, then dmesg I was able to see that the internalsd was corrupted or at least not mounting.

Still not able to enter recovery even on Eclaire.
I think Ill send it to Samsung USA and see what they say..

I figured I would update this, I called Samsung and gave them my imei number and they stated it was still under warranty.
So I sent them the device.
The internal SD was corrupt or bad as stated on the invoice.
I have it back and it works free of charge!
Thanks Sammy!

I got it when i rooted my tab.
I think root access is required for cwm btw...

now i rooted by super1rootclick.
and now i can access recovery mode.
that's mean cwn is not require anymore ?

You can always access recovery mode.
The stock 3e recovery.
But you want custom recovery, ClockWorkMod recovery being the only one for tab.
Flashing cf-root kernel will give you cwm.
But staying on froyo is not so good, with some having protected boot loader.
Why not just find overcome rom in dev thread and flash it.
You won't regret.

Thanks a lot for that link priyana! Now got a nice guide with pictures
The overcome guide works like a charm, used it on my GT-P1000. It's now running the AOKP ICS 4.0.4 build #36 nice and smooth.
After completing the full overcome guide you can simply flash the AOKP build with cwm.

Download this file:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/g-uW6vGt/CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v33-CW.html
Also download odin v1.7 (google it). Boot your tab in download mode (turn off tab, then hold power button and volume down button simultaneously)
open odin and select the above mentioned file as pda
connect your tab to your pc
start flashing
you will get a rooted tab with cwm installed
please thank me if you found this useful

Basically you need to try flashing gb stock safe package from overcome using Odin.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Hi Priyana,
Do you recommend I do the following but with gb stock safe ?
1) download overcome 4.0 kernel tar file and keep it in your PC
2) download aokp build 38 and gapps-ics from the link in aokp post. Put both on external SD card.
3) read the guide and jump to the part that guides you to flash overcome kernel.
Make sure Odin can see your tab and everything looks exactly like in the picture.
4) flash the overcome kernel and the tab will reboot. There will be a female robotic voice. Stimpz0r recommend no need to wait for finish. Just force power off the tab.
5) power up to recovery by pressing volume up and power button.
I find it a bit tricky sometimes, maybe the way I hold the button. But you will get there.
6) from cwm recovery, choose to install update from external SD card and browse to aokp zip file and install. Some message about checking bml/mtd and you see the tab reboot.
7) you may get a boot loop, it may not boot into recovery, or it may go direct back to recovery. If it does that it is normal.
First time coming from bml to mtd will do that.
Just flash aokp one more time.
You will notice the cwm is not the overcome one anymore. It looks similar but it is not. You will have to browse to internal SD card instead, because this recovery somehow calls your external SD as internal SD.
8) so flash aokp again, and when completed, flash gapps-ics
9) when completed just reboot and sit back and wait till it is done!

I see you came across my old post.
Yes, that should work. But download stimpz0r AOKP build 40.
The post was back when 38 was latest.
If the AOKP failed to flash, you need to go for entire gb stock safe though.
Go ahead try as per this AOKP install post and let me know if you have difficulty.

Great , I am out of the endless boots I was having and now have Gingerbread installed. Bit behind the times though my tab is functional and bit more snappy then the old Froyo. If you have any ideas on how to install Jellybean or any other roms you recommend for GT-P1000 I would really interested. Thanks again champion you have saved me alot of heartache.

Go for AOKP!
you have the instruction laid out here, nothing stopping you.
And if you are bored you can try cm10.
From now on the steps are the same.
Boot to cwm, wipe data, cache, and dalvik, and flash the rom and the gapps.
Please note gapps for ics is different from gapps for jb.
Btw, this is the many times I see cf-root way fails while overcome method works.
Thanks to team overcome we have such a reliable method to get cwm recovery.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app

I have the rom and gapps from this link http://www.androidauthority.com/gal...-4-1-1-jelly-bean-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-106995/ but I don't think I have clockwork installed as my recovery looks stock. I'm not too sure on where to go from here asthus where I kind of got stuck last time.

You have the 9 steps I wrote.
From step 3 to 5,
At the end of step 5 you will have cwm.
Which one you didn't get?
The guide? I was referring to Overcome guide.
Jump here for the kernel and the guide:
Here is the kernel (tar format for Odin, zip isn't the one you want I guess)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27801159&postcount=8
and guide here
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7k...EyNS00Yzg5LWE0MTktYmYyMjA1MThmYzQz/edit?pli=1
So, open the guide:
3) read the guide and jump to the part that guides you to flash overcome kernel.
Make sure Odin can see your tab and everything looks exactly like in the picture.
4) flash the overcome kernel and the tab will reboot. There will be a female robotic voice. Stimpz0r recommend no need to wait for finish. Just force power off the tab.

Thanks I will give that at a go now but reading through the guide I forgot to flash the modem file. Am I able to do this seperately?

Don't worry.
The modem was for non mtd.
Once you flash AOKP and the mtd conversion takes place, all partitions are wiped out.
On second flash the rom is installed and jpz modem is included.
It will be just a file in /radio/modem.bin in MTD rom.
If you need to replace the modem in the future, just unpack a modem package and use root explorer to copy and paste the new modem file to overwrite the one there and reboot.

Fantastic From Froyo To JB !
So let me get this right, If I want to change Rom in the future.
All I need to do now is boot up CWM Recovery then Flash Rom And Gapps and if anything goes wrong Flash GB Stock Safe through Odin in Download mode.
Can I ask which Rom you are using/prefer ?
This JellyBean Rom looks good but is not as responsive as GB also I'm having difficulty rotating in home screen.
Thankyou for all the information you have provided me.

You did see me mention AOKP many times, right? that is my favourite.
AOKP and CM9 are ICS.
CM10 and Paranoidandroid 1.99 are JB.
Btw,
don't forget to flash gapps.
Yes, most rom for ICS/JB here are MTD rom, so just do the wipes and flash from cwm.

If anyone know where I can get the stock firmware for this devices please let me know. I search the forum and all the links are deads, Sammobile doesn't have firmware for this model.
Thank you

it was hard bricked, got jtag, now i need to reload it.
I found threads on here but link with multiupload are dead

then no need to
Just use Overcome guide to load Gingerbread ROM
Go to overcome site
Http://www.teamovercome.net
Read the guide,
Missing pictures can be seen here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20974872
Follow the picture step by step.
Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1
You can continue with the rest, and you will get Overcome 4.1 and you won't regret.
From there you can then try AOKP or CM9, all requires you to have Overcome Kernel with its CWM recovery to flash.
the package include a T-mobile modem to choose
it will let you have 3G in T-mobile network but no voice call.
If you use the JPZ modem that is also included, you can get voice call but EDGE speed for internet.

thank you will do that and report back

i tried to reload per the instruction, it ran for about 3 minutes near the end it "FAILED"

Hmm no idea.
Hope it is not a locked bootloader.
Can you try it again?
You are using Odin 1.7 that is included in the gb stock safe, right?

Yes, may be i should let you know how the device bricked
I accepted the OTA update after reboot the phone never turn back on .
Could it be that the fw im trying to update is older then the OTA caused it to fail ?

I doubt the version matters, I am wondering if it is caused by broken NAND chip.
I have never encountered this before.
Let's have some crazy idea.
I am thinking of flashing cm9 or aokp mtd rom on it.
I myself am using Stimpz0r AOKP build 40.
Can you download it and put in external SD card,
And also the gapps-ics.
Just get it ready.
While for the tab, flash overcome kernel 4.0 tar as per the guide, as if it was a successful restock.
Once the kernel is flashed, force it power off.
Then try to boot to recovery.
If that works, try flash the ICS rom and see if it works.
You need to flash it twice, as first one converts to mtd.
Second flash will install.
Hopefully it boots.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app

I flashed the kernel now it able to boot to the galaxy tab then the android animate but it in a boot loop at the android. I can't go to recovery, that's Vol Up + Power correct ?

i was able to install CM9 but getting "Encryption Unsuccessful" error after boot
I tried to wipe data/factory reset and got the following error:
format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
probably bad block where this partion is located that why it failed when tried to flash Overcome rom.
there is a tool to relocate this partion to a different block and hopefully it work? do you know such tool ?

I have never come across such tool.
There is a thread that discuss about bad internal sdcard, and using external SD instead.
By you have to open up the tab and desolder the NAND chip.

[Q] weird bug. need expert advice + solution

Today I tried to update my phone to a new custom rom.
I followed the instructions of the threads and tried to get it to work.
Of course it didn't work or else I wouldn't be here right now asking for help.
Here's the current situation.
I am able to boot into download mode + recovery mode and also boot into cwmr and install a different kernel.
I used pc odin to install it each time and it does pass and the rom (i've tried installing a gingerbread rom so that I can try everything again) does install.
the problem is that it is currently stuck in a boot loop at the "Samsung galaxy note gt-N7000" screen.
I have looked up dr.ketan's posts and tried some too.
currently i am booting abyss note kernel 42cwt touch original. (I know for sure it is a workable kernel because I've been using it this whole time.
here's what i've done. please tell me what i've done wrong and the possible ways to reverse it.
1. backed up everything
2. went into recovery
3. factory reset/cache clear
4. use pc odin to install new kernel (since I was looking into switching to another kernel anyways)
5. use pc odin again to install gingerbread rom (I do get the green light saying it did get installed
6. phone auto reboots
7. it gets stuck at the boot loop like i have mentioned above
i will try to attach a few pictures of my note as soon as I can so you can see what's going on with it.

What rom is there on the phone now ? if you boot into recovery .. what recovery do you get now ? CWM or stock ardroid 3e recovery ?

Right now it reboots to 3e recovery.
The rom that I tried to inject to it is currently a the stock gingerbread rom from dr. Ketans thread.
The rom that I had on it is the official ics rom for the hk region.
The rom that I wanted to inject to it was a custom jb rom that uses hydracore as a kernel.

try installing a prerooted Gb rom or an ICS stock rom using PC odin.. if you choose ICS, after flash install a safe kernel..

If I do a stock ics update can I just do it through kies or do I have to do it through pc odin? Also. Would abyss or hydracore considered as a safe kernel???

yes if kies can do it then good but at this situation i dont think. its better to use PC odin for now. yes both are safe kernels

I've tried your suggestions...and it didn't seem to work out too well.
I am able to flash to different kernels and get in and out of different recovers and such, but ya...still no luck with running a rom.

Well I am not sure but I soft bricked my phone when I tried that Abyss Kernel. In my view Hydracore is safe. Philz is super safe.
Flash ICS which matches your region using Odin. If phone boots flash Philz, If not, then be ready to read a lot of stuff or get phone repaired.

Hey guys. my note seems to have cooperated and allowed me to flash a new rom and also a new kernel. Here's the catch though, now it's stuck in the samsung logo and won't boot beyond that. Any suggestions of what to do? I am continually searching on the forums to find a solution.
At least I'm happy to know it's not a brick that can't be fixed.

I currently flashed the abyss note kernel 42 cw touch and I downloaded an old gb rom from sammobile .
Here's what I did.
1. Put my phone into download mode
2. Run as admin on PC Odin
3. Selected the Abyss kernel then flashed it.
4. Boot into the cmw, wiped cache then booted the phone into download mode again.
5. Then I installed the old GB Rom on to my phone and restarted it.
6. Phone starts, loads past the GT-N7000 logo and goes into the samsung boot logo.
7. Phone repeats the animation of the samsung logo a time or two then restarts on its own. This loops until the phone is completely drained. I know that the rom works because that was the rom that I used to root my phone. I definitely don't mind downloading another rom if I have to.
my current goal, if we can fix this, is to quickly just update to the official jb rom for n7000 and not play around with the rooting and such until I have even more time to learn more.
at least I know for sure my phone isn't hardbricked, I would imagine I have either missed a step or something that caused the problem.
I have read through the forum and I did come across one post talking about checking my phone's partition and such.
I got to be honest, I'm really not technically skilled enough at this point in time to dare to mess around with that type of thing yet especially with so much coding to make sense of it. (I know this is kind of dumb to say especially when I rooted my phone and screwed up this bad). More importantly, I don't even know for sure if I need to do a partition or not.
Please let me know what I did wrong and how I can fix it.
I got a question though (out of curiosity), how come there's no toolkit for the n7000 like the S3 and also the note 2???

this is the name of the old gb rom that I tried flashing.
N7000ZSKJ6_N7000OZSKJ6_N7000XXKJ6_HOME.tar
I actually have tried several other roms as well (from GB-JB, official and custom) and all of them so far has gotten to the samsung boot logo
I have read on the forums to try using Philz-cwm 6 kernel but I don't know if it'd solve my problem.
let me show you one of the threads I have read, if I dived into the wrong material let me know and I won't consider using it (or learn how to use it) for my current situation
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661590&highlight=samsung+logo+bootloop&page=2
like I was saying before, I really have no experience in coding so all the things that really made near no sense to me. I understand the basic concept of what its trying to do it's just seems like a very unsafe method for me to try especially when I lack the necessary knowledge in this area of expertise.

did you flash the GB rom using the standard PIT file ?
also you could try with the 5 file flashing method from this thread

Galaxy S stuck on custom rom logo

HI, so recently i brought a galaxy s gt i9000. I wanted to flash a custom rom so I install cwm and now have root access. problem is whenever i try to install a custom rom it shows the bar for installation in CWM and then goes to the custom rom logo. It does nothing else whatsoever after that. I need to take out my battery and restore my backup in order to get my phone working again from a bootloop. i tried putting the rom in both my external sd card and the phone itself. Also before installing i wiped the dalvik cache etc. Can someone please help, i've tried multiple roms so its obviously my phone. thanks

i9000 stucks in logo because your phone is not acessing internel memory...i have also got this problem..i dont have any solution..one thing u can do is that take your phone in download mode for 2 to 3 minutes approximately and then again on your phone ...this will work...But this problem comes again when u shutdown your mobile..another method is to take your i9000 in download mode and connect to computer and then download dbdata.rfs file put in odin in pda and apply ...these two processess will definately work fine to acess your internal memory

Just a few questions regarding how you installed the rom.
1.) What rom, first of all?
2.) After rooting 2.3.6 and trying to flash through recovery, did the phone skip to the kernel screen before continuously bootlooping?
3.) Did you try pulling your battery, then putting it back in, entering recovery and flashing the same rom again?
