Need some help trying to figure out how to make my Captivate turn on...I press power and get the AT&T slash screen and then the galaxy s logo loads for about 3 minutes and goes to blank dark screen with the capacitive buttons lit. this is not good because my **** won't boot into recovery either
You should flash to stock then...pull battery, hold volume buttons and plug in usb with odin loaded and ready on the computer. There's plenty of threads to help you out
Sent from my phone so excuse the spelling errors
Funnily enough... My phone just did that too. I was installing Mort Widget and it just totally bricked...
I'm rather p!ssed at this...
Course this was after it deleted all my email accounts and SMS.
What you'll need.
Odin (search or look in any of the ROM/Firmware threads, for example the i9000 ROM or unofficial JH2 or JH3 ROM)
Your USB cable.
The firmware files.
Steps:
Remove battery, SIM card and micro SD card.
Open Odin on the computer.
Put the battery back in.
Plug in the USB cable to the phone.
Hold both volume up and down.
With VOL up/down held in, plug usb cable to the computer.
Your phone will show the beloved DOWNLOADING yellow image.
Odin:
Simply select the rom/firmware you want to flash to and enjoy.
I can confirm this will not overwrite the phone's internal 16gb storage, which is where most apps save backups to.
Future steps:
Before trying anything crazy, copy the entire phone internal 16gb storage to your computer. If you brick, you can always get a new captivate, copy the junk back and run a restore.
I recommend Titanium backup (donate the $6, the backup/restore is SUPER SUPER fast) along with Clockwork recovery. Clockwork's Nandroid makes full kernel backups and you can boot to recovery from the phone itself. No more adb reboot download or adb reboot recovery.
sorry for my english i have a 19000m the one from bell my phone boot with the GALAXY S LOGO WITH THE MUSIC BUT AFTER THAT BLACK SCREEN CAN I REPAIR THAT ?
Yes, odin is about your only hope here... Even if you boot into the bios and try to do a factory reset it will come up with error after error...
Reflashing will totally wipe and start fresh.
I am curious however. I think i isolated where my problem came from but I am still curious...
Did you try to sideload anything?
It happened to me twice with Bell's Vibrant version. The first time, just after one week after getting it (not rooted). They simply gave me a brand new one.
The second one took 3 week to go dead. Knowing my way around Linux Embedded systems, this time I investigated the issue. In recovery mode, there were error messages saying that the system could not fine the internal flash memory partitions. I could confirm from the kernel messages that partitions on internal sdcard had disappeared. I did factory reset, reflash original stock firmware with Odin, but it did nothing.
I Sent the phone back for repair and three weeks later, they gave me another one (probably refurbished!!).
My phone just turns on, with a black screen and the capacitive buttons lit up. Nothing else happens. When I try to go into download mode, it only goes back to this black screen. I does however detect that the phone is connected driver wise on the computer, but does not show up in Hemidall or Odin. I've tried just about everything
i used ODIN to resotore the phont to stock
but when it finsh...i get black screen
and the phone dose not work or do anything.

Does it light up or display anything and then go black, or does it just do nothing? If it does nothing, you're probably bricked, but try this anyway just in case your phone still has some life in it:
open Odin; press and hold both volume buttons and plug in your USB. If Odin lights up yellow, flash.
If that doesn't work, buy or build a jig, use it, and see if it goes into download mode. If it doesn't, plug the cable in anyway and see if Odin recognizes it. If it does, flash.
If that doesn't work, you're probably bricked. JTAG or Unbrickable Mod are your options from here, neither of which I personally know anything about but you can search around and find someone who can help you.
Hard Bricked= No signs of life, black screen no matter what, no response to USB plug in. Nothing but Unbrickable mod or JTAG will fix, I WOULD SUGGEST getting Unbrickable because you only have to get it once, and it cost the same as JTAG.
Soft Bricked= DL mode access is available(by jig or button combo and usb), recovery too, has some life in it. Can use ODIN/HEIMDALL to fix it.
when the flashing finsh and say done...and show the green light in the ODIN. the phone did not start up
dose this mean it break or dead charger?
as m not shure if the battery is full or not.
anyway i can pass the battery by over it with cuted USB cable?

If you got a green light, I would think it should at least turn on. However, if it was a successful flash, it should charge with the phone off. A bricked phone and a bad charger would both look the same: dead.
Try a different charger or battery if you think your battery could that dead. However if your battery died during your flash, that could also be the cause of your brick.
i charge the battery...and nothing happend
will the USB JAG solve it?
as i read in some post this will not
i need to send to some one to do it by opeing the phont it self

A jig is worth trying, but I suspect it will not solve your issue. You are correct, you need to send it to someone to have it fixed. Send a PM to AdamOutler or Connexion2005 and they can point you in the right direction.

You moto defy never flashed boot loaders since Motorola always had them locked down, and if you didn't know what you were doing flashing the stock Emma's that had boot loaders then it is not the phones fault. You should never really have to flash boot loaders and that is the ONLY risky part in flashing on these phones. Other than that Samsung cappys are almost TRUELY unbrickable (HARD BRICK) unless you mess up flashing boot loaders. WHICH YOU DID WHETHER YOU KNEW IT OR NOT BY FLASHING THE STOCK ODIN. SEND IT FOR UNBRICKABLE MOD, it is cheap repair and you WONT run into your same mistake ever again.

Phone was on stock firmware from AT&T (never been rooted)
Plugged Phone Into the computer & opened Odin3Excution v1.00 & booted the phone into Download Mode and clicked Start on Odin. looked back at the phone minutes later and the phone had a full green screen. waited & waited and neither the phone or Odin were making progress. pulled the phone off the USB pulled the battery. restarted the computer and tried again. Now the phone will not boot at all not even the at&t smart phone screen and it wont boot into recovery or download mode.
The phone is being processed through warranty, I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this or knows what happened. Thanks!
BTW the phone was charged 100% and the sim & sd card werent in the device.
Move to Question Thread
Can a Admin move this to the question section. Sorry for posting in Dev.
Very interesting. Never heard of this. Pull the battery out and wait lets say 1h
Then plug the battery back and hold both volume buttons while inserting the USB. Dont touch the power button.

You can try not waiting at all at first. Just pull it out, put it it and follow what I said earlier.
i had a green screen in the middle of a flash back to stock with ODIN one click (every usb device stopped working on my machine at once)
fired it back up in download mode and odin'd it...no problem
Yep.. Mine too, two times, except that the screens was Light Blue and Yellow..
Moved to Q&A.
Lol funniest thing that I read this thread and then thought, wow must be one of the lucky one's cause that never happened.

Advice, if you don't wanna risk it, find a win machine and use odin one click downloader
Sorry to resurrect and old thread, but it was either this or start a new thread for the same problem.
I was flashing back to stock from Mosaic and this happened. Green screen and nothing else. Now it won't turn on or go back into download mode. Think a jig will help this?.
Edit: Waited about 10 mins and tried again. IT LIVES!!!!
it is worth a try of jig if key combo does not work.
the same thing just happened to me. i was using odin3excution v1.00 to flash back to stock before taking the phone in to AT&T to get the warranty replacement. i got the teal/green/blue screen at factortrfs, it just sat there and killed everything usb on my computer. i pulled the battery and tried to reboot into download/turn it on/plug it in, no response whatsoever. i have the battery pulled and im waiting to try again, but if that does nothing, what can i do? i could take it in and tell them it did this in the middle of the kies update, but is that even believable? any help is appreciated, i don't have a jig and making one is last resort. thanks brothersss
Got stuck here working with a friend's captivate. We were in the process of cobbling together a jig when we notices that Odin seemed to recognize the phone whenever it was at the P!C screen.
The jig wasn't working out (resistors were 5% weaker than nominal), so we just gave Odin the go ahead at the P!C screen. To our surprise, a progress bar popped up on the phone and Odin successfully flashed the stock kernel back on.
So my question is, is the P!C screen just another face for download mode? Do you really need to jig from P!C to DL mode, or are you already there?
Not 100% of the time, but most of the time yes.

Cool, that makes life easier. When it isn't, does Odin not pick it up? Or does it show but fail to flash? Just trying to get an idea of how these things act when they're pseudo-bricked. I'm coming from Droid X land where 2nd-init and SBF solve everything.
Odin will only find the phone if it can get into download mode. (Usually vol up + vol down > plug in cable)
Not true, Odin shows a com port when booted into Android and in recovery. But will only succeed if download mode protocol is initiated on the phone.

And to further add clarity, it's only the phone-!-computer screen that says "Hardware Upgrade Failure" (or something like that) that doubles as download mode. Coincidentally, that is only found in Gingerbread bootloaders. Happy Flashing
"Firmware upgrade failed" and even that's not completely true...if the flash you're attempting fails before the image for download mode is rewritten, then when download mode is initiated there is nothing to call on but that "flash failed screen" regardless of bootloaders.
That happened to me on my sisters captivate once...with eclair boots.

Weird. So, that would explain our situation. The flash failed while it was trying to negotiate the connection with the phone (or something worded like that, one of the first steps). So this jig is for real huh... Nothing like that in DROIDX land. Now that we've got it built right (no multimeter at the time, 301.6k ohms now) can we test it without altering anything? In other words, if we initiate download mode with the jig does any other kind of hard reset happen? NAND wipe or something like that? Or can we jig in to download mode to test the jig, then battery pull and reboot normally? (without plugging it in to a computer obviously - just a dry run)
Yeah, forcing dl mode shouldn't hurt anything. How do you think they test the ones that they make?
And you don't even need to yank the battery..just hold all 3 buttons and it'll reboot, if you hold them slightly too long it'll boot into recovery, but you can reboot it from there no big deal
Nice, thanks for the tip. I'll test it out tomorrow and see if my handiwork paid off. These unlocked bootloaders are fun! I do love my droid x but maybe the Verizon Galaxy S (fascinate?) would have been a good pick too.
Tangent: my friend is now up and running with the Corn KK4 7.06 under the stock ROM, got his root back. Next step, rom land.

I'm glad to hear you got your phone back up and running. This phone is pretty hard to kill for good, and with the unbrickable mod its impossible!

Not sure how I did it, but I am stuck at the Red LG logo with the white LG letters and my phone will go no further. It will not shut down without a battery pull. I have tried to do the hold down volume and factory reset the phone, same screen pops back up. Plugged in does nothing either. It is like it lost the ability to boot.
I ask here for maybe some guidance from a dev. If wrong place, please move it.
I can not get into the recovery, regular boot, computer to recognize it.. Nothing at all... Is there an actual boot image to put on the sd card to boot to?
Any suggestions??

What did you do right before this point?
I think my mistake was going into Rom Manager to see if I had anything showing clockwork installed. Phone restarted and i was at this point since. Not sure if I told it to update a clockwork or not. Head is fried now from messing with it..

Ok, I can get you fixed but I can just about promise you that you will be in test mode,
I don't own this phone (almost did) but curious, how Wood you fix that? Does LG have a tool like rsd lite (moto) or odin4 (sammy) ?

I can't plug it in and select internet connection or install any software drivers from the phone on the first line. I have called Verizon and they are sending me out another phone, but I would like to get this one fixed if I can..

You can get into emergency mode to flash the tot file in lgnspt.
1 Pull Battery
2 Press and hold volume up + power
3 Plug phone into computer (while still holding buttons)
4 Put battery back in (while still holding buttons)
5 You should now enter emergency mode
Can u enter CWM? By holding down pwer and vol down. Then confirm data wipe (it won't) then reboot into cwm? If u can try to install a rom

Hey guys,
I just recently got a refurb Droid 3 after my old one had the backlight go out, I hand't had a chance to bootstrap it and put ICS on it. But I was able to get it rooted. I restarted my phone today and ever since it has been stuck at the M logo screen and I've tried everything I can find to remedy this.
I updated this morning to the most recent OTA update (5.7.906 I believe) and then rooted it.
To fix the issue I've tried a few different things. I tried Pete's SBF to 5.7.890 but I was getting an error about the cbt.bin file. I found that with the recent changed to 5.7.906 you aren't able to directly flash over it to go back to 5.7.890. I then found another post on here which had a script to go back to 5.7.890 from 5.7.906. I ran that and still had the same result.
Any other ideas or anything that I am missing?
I can get into fastboot, I've been using the scripts with moto-fastboot. Normal boot is just leaving me at the M logo, booting into recovery yields the same result.
Any help would be appreciated since I have no clue what else I can do at this point...
seems like a soft brick... should be fixable...

I don't have a BT Tools selection. I do have BP Tools though. I selected it and it just sits there on the M logo as well...
I've tried a few of Pete's scripts with no luck so far (worked on the old Droid 3 when I put it back to stock before shipping it back).

Your 1 Click SBF ran fine and completed without errors but I'm still getting the same result, stuck at M logo.
Is there something I could be missing which is making it not boot that most SBFs don't include? That's the only thing I can think of at this point.

I'm fairly certain that could work, if I could ever get into the Stock recovery....I'm not able to boot into anything. Going to try a few other things, if nothing else works I'll just take it in and see if I can get yet another warranty replacement.
Thanks for the responses, if you have any other ideas just let me know.
I think the main thing that needs to be addressed is that I need to be able to get into recovery and then I will be set to fix it. Right now it just sits at the M logo for Recovery (and any other options from the boot menu).
