Continuum v5.1, v5.2 got big trouble

Hi Experts,
I have a Cappy and i love Continuum 5 ROM. I never miss any versions from beta2 to RC 3, everything is ok, but now when contimuum v5.1 was released. I tried to flash it but i got a big problem in that version. The first, i encountered Boot Loop issue while booting, but it's not the biggest problem, my cappy is still boot up to the home screen, and here everything was became very bad. My Cappy got lag and cant interact with return and it reboot automatic after that.
Now, when v5.1 was released, i believed it'll be fixed, but it's still exists. .
my cappy cant boot up to home screen. it repeats booting to continuum animation and restart forever.
can anybody give me a suggestion for turning my cappy back !!!!!!!! Please help

Did you have full battery? I made this mistake too... Be sure that you did everything correctly..

I would suspect you could simply use the 1-CLICK ODIN program to restore the phone then follow the steps carefully for 5.1 (which is a pretty awesome ROM btw)

I'm sure i charged full battery before flashing.

i flashed to stock room with odin3 1.7 (using PDA + PIT files. i did that successful many times with 2.2 ). but now, with 2.3.3 i got brick( maybe lost boot), although flashed by odin without any errors ( 1 succeed/ failed 0) .
now i cant make the cappy go to download mode. please helppppp.
3 buttons with no interaction !!

sounds like u flashed a stock rom that didnt have old bootloader, safe way to have done it is with non 3 button fix odinoneclick flash to stock. dunno if a JIG will help u get back into download mode

Get a jig and use it to get into DL mode. Please make 100% sure you know what you are doing before you flash.

Use command command prompt. "/android" Then "adb shell" then "su" then "roboot download" might not work with adb but could give it a try

Your best bet is the jig. If that doesnt work then I would try and get a warrenty replacment. I went over the thread and it stated that if you get a bootloop you should boot into recovery and reflash the rom, did you do that?

If you lost bootloader then you will have to JTAG, if your under warranty you can say you were updating to froyo and it turned off and never turned back on

i was having some issues gettin my captivate into download mode using odin to go back to stock also. what worked for me however was to have usb plugged into comp and phone and THEN hold volume up and down. port was then recognized and i went to download. badda bing badda boom.

right. i got a bootloop when flash to v5.2. i tried to flash the rom in recovery mode many times, but it's still exists. even i flash back to RC3. i got only the android text animation on the screen.
thus i have to flash to the stock by that way. and now i got a brick

I've had problems in the past with getting to download mode on the cappy. I did some googling trying to find a way, ended up finding a very good page on it:
http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode
I hope that helps.

Had the same problem with my cappy. The problem is that after all you did, you have one bootloader from i9000 and another from i897. The jig won`t help. I`ve found the people that recovered the phone with JTAG.

See response in other thread:
If you are 100% sure you cannot enter download mode you really have a problem. Did you try checking the battery? And if you are 100% sure - search the forum, there's some posts about using a JIG to fix it, but most seem to have gone back to Samsung afaik...
What did you do to get your phone in this mode?! Give is some more info on what happened...

Try removing the battery and charge cable for a while (at least 30 minutes or so). I've not heard this happened before... and try charging with another cable and/or with another charger (for instance a laptop or some other usb device)...

Never install mods, addons, ROMs, kernels or anything made for whole Another phone.
Yes, that's the problem. I'm very sorry to tell you but you just destroyed your phone's boot.img by installing wrong one. And the wrong boot.img wont let you do anything on your phone. There's no way you could enter to recovery or download mode or anything.
I have no idea about the JIG thing but when I hard bricked my phone, I took it to the reseller and got it fixed for free of charge

Is there a golden card method
Any idea if there is a golden card method to create an boot image to let the phone start again

Your phone is kind of dead now. You can't push a boot image to it 'cause computer doesn't recognize it properly. Bricked means your phone is just as useful as a brick. It wont turn on in any way and there's nothing else your phone would do.

The JIG costs only 2$ , if that doesn't get u into download mod then u can only revive ur phone with JTAG .

JIG on ebay...

My advice is go see if u can repair it for free (warranty) , if not u can try the JIG to get u into download mode so u can flash via Odin (there are a lot of clips about JIGs on youtube) , if all that doesn't work JTAG is ur only hope (also there are videos about it on youtube).

Better Soluction
It ocurred me and I go to Movistar Shop and I said that it doesn't boot and I don't know anything and they give me another one with the guarantee.
Try and if not try with JIG ,

me 2, think you installed the wrong rom on the wrong phone..MIUEI rom is not out for the GT I9001, when i bricked my phone =1 medecin= www.broodplank.net (and check how to unbrick your I9001-article)

As the partition layout and even the filesystem is totally different I think you wiped away your bootloader and maybe also radio firmware. If this is your actual situation, it is ver very VERY unlikely you will get your phone alive with a jig. Don't know the partition layout of a 9000 but even the hardware is completely different. Not nucb hope left, very sorry.

[Q] Superbrick, Softbrick, Pixel Salad ?huh?

Seriously can someone please explain to me what the heck the above mean? I get the notion of a brick but what the heck is the difference between Super brick? Hard / Soft Brick? Finally, not really brick but what's Pixel Salad!?
Thanks!

Soft brick= a FAILURE of the device that can be reverted by the user
Hard brick= a FAILURE of the device that has to be reverted via external devices see jtag
Superbrick= a FAILURE of the device where the only solution the service center and a replacement of the component that malfunctions.
Pixel salad = a problem of the graphics unit or the screen to display correctly the image and put instead random colored pixels on some areas of the screen or the whole screen.
This is my interpretation of those issues everyone can correct it if he thinks that those expansions are incorrect.
Hope it helped you understanding few of those issues.

I'm not 100% sure, but performing a flash under lpf isn't recommended. How did you root lpf after flashing? And when you say "did a direct reboot" what do you mean? Also when you say doesn't turn on at all, do you mean no display whatsoever or enters Samsung boot loop? Are you able to enter recovery or download mode?

You should have read the warning about LPx kernels (LP1, LP5, LP6, LPY, LPF)
Wiping or flashing in recovery will probably cause superbrick.

The way to go from ANY non-CM9-based ICS Rom to a CM9-based Rom is via Gingerbread.
You should've first used PC Odin to go back to GB, root your Rom, then flash CM9.
You have most probably superbricked your phone.

Sorry im new to this forum.
I Rooted my phone and accidently made an Full Data Wipe.
Now the screen stays black and it does nothing.

Do you still can turn it on? I mean do you see the "Samsung Galaxy Note" message when turning it on?
If you can see it, your problem was called "soft brick". Don't worry. Turn your phone off, then try these steps.
- Reset all settings and clear all data. Go to Recovery Mode (VolUp+Home+Power), then select "wipe data/factory reset".
- Download the ROM, then flash it with ODIN software while your phone is in Download Mode (VolDown+Home+Power).
If your phone cannot turn on.
- Leave the charger connected for at least 1 hour, then try to turn it on again. If you see the message, do the above steps.
- Take out the battery for at least 3 hours, then try to turn it on again.
- Make or order the USB JIG. It can force your phone to enter the Download Mode, then you can later flash a new ROM with ODIN software.
- If USB JIG doesn't work, then your phone's motherboard has to be replaced.
PS. Sorry about my english.

If it's too complex for you then service center is the only option for a mobo replacement. By the way, what recovery did you wipe from? What method did you use to root your phone?

Nope i did it via the recovery mode, i rootet it with CWM and Busybox.
i think i give it to a customer who do JTAG Unbricks maybe this helps. They do this for 35€ so its better as spend 450€ for a new phone and the problem is im only 15 so i dont have soo much spare money

But Wich was your OS? Ics or gb?
