Tried button Combos as well as jig still wont change from Batteryscreen
any advice greatly appreciated
I dont know if this is the right place but I am desprate I have looked and looked for possible answers nothing worked....
Finally got it into download mode but computer did not detect unplugged phone now its stuck in cell ! computer icon and phone
turns on automatically when battery is inserted

The phone ! Computer screen is download mode. This has happened because the last time you tried to use Odin the cable was pulled to soon. Open the Odin one click your trying to use while the phone is on that screen, and plug in the USB. If Odin does not recognize it you can look here for connection issues.

Heimdall and Odin won't work on same USB port. Have you tried using a different one?
Kinda a shot in the dark but if you haven't tried it yet, put the jig in before the battery. Or try the jig a couple times (wait like 20-30sec in between) with the battery in, that worked for me before.

Odin help
Hey Guys... I am trying to see if anyone can help me figure out the problem with my phone.. i currently have the stock rom running 2.2 i897uckb2
Kernel - 2.6.32.9 - Froyo build
Now I have trying to get Odin to recognize my phone when I am in download mode but it noes not show up in the port field. I have been trying both odin 1.3 as well as Odin 1 click...
The funny thing is that Heimdall can recognize the phone on one click but i am trying to get odin to recognize so that i can switch roms... I preffer Odin to Heimdall so if anybody has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.
By the way if i am not in download mode and the phone is on and I connect it and have odin on, it actually recognizes the phone... so not sure...
Thanks for any help guys...

Have you tried another USB port? My experience with heidmall is that when you install it's own driver, Odin no longer recognizes the phone when you boot into download mode. If for some reason it still doesn't work, I suppose you could uninstall your captivate drivers and re install them.

Ok... cuz really i did feel that it was because of the one click heimdall that the driver might not be recognized... Mind pointing me to how to un install and then re install the driver on the phone...?
Thanks again for the quick response.

Heimdall installs it's own drivers to the USB port you use it on. You will have to use another USB port if you wanna use Odin (Your pc should have more than one).
You could uninstall the drivers but it is far more complicated than just using a different USB port.

location GPS antenna on i897. Well, then disassemble the phone and the antenna to be under the speaker if the speaker remove the antenna located in the top right corner of the board. Who can come up with how to enhance signal reception, write.

About using odin and download mode.

I got my phone about a month ago, and currently updated to 2.2 froyo with cognition 5.5 odin.
so I have no problem with my phone, but I was trying to do same thing for my buddy who just got his phone today. I was kind worried that download mode might not work, but keycombo works into download mode; however, odin didnt recognize phone, so I had to plug usb out and back and it recognize and when i start it looksl ike it's working but it says can't open the serial(compt) port.
I know i can update by clockwork recovery mode, but I'm worried it might bricked his phone.
please help me and my buddy here
thank you
Does it work with your usb cable and computer you used to flash your phone? Easiest way to tell.
Cognition WIKI Download Mode FAQ
yes i used same computer and same usb cable plus I thought something went wrong with my computer so I flashed with my phone and it totally worked
im having the same problem in odin,tried everything and still it is the same
Are you good at soldering, or have a friend that is? This might be for you.

Make sure you have odin running BEFORE you hook it up in download mode. Dunno if this is your issue but the above was a bit ambiguous for me. If you already knew that... oops! Sorry.

BRICKED 1st post edited.

EDIT:
odin crashed while going back to stock then
my phone will get to download mode buuuuut.. my computer doesnt recognize my phone...
i re-downloaded drivers and the phone is recognized however odin failed the 2 times i got it in dl mode(took about an hour to get it each time)... so i have a jig ordered but with odin not working im not feeling optimistic
nothing seems to happen when its plugged into the wall no battery icon. i reinstalled drivers hoping that would help with no luck.. i just got it back in dl mode after like an hour of it not turning on for me but it doesnt do anything once i get it there.
Get odin3 one click and use it in dl mode. It will brg ur phone back to stock

definately problem of bad USB..either cable or port....try using different USB cable or different computer....Use full odin by iCezar...its with minimum risk....specially very beneficial in cases like yours....
my pc doesnt see my phone. thats the issue i cant use odin. and the only thing my phone will do is glow black or go to download mode, idk if its charging but its getting hard to get it in dl mode, multiple tries atm no luck
i have already tried reinstalling the drivers. what are they called so i can delete them and install again rather then just redownload maybe that will help?

nope this only happened AFTER my crash on odin. my pc has always seen the phone.
try connecting your phone to pc when odin is already running. See whether it detects. Mine worked this way.

thats not a big deal, just get it in download mode, and flash it with odin.
EDIT: might as well us this post to say what my computer says with usb since i got in in dl mode again...
USB device not recognized
one of the usb devices attached to this computer has
malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it.
then something about for assistance in solving this issue click here
this has happened to me acouple times, the first was my fault I pull the usb before odin finished. I could get back into Download mode but Odin would not see the phone and computer would not recognize the phone either, device not recognized.
I tried rebooting, re-installing drivers etc. did not work.
but after an hour or so I finally got it to recognize and odin'd back to stock and back to flashing I was.
this is what I did hope it works for you.
1. disconnect all usb devices
2. un-install captivate drivers
3. reboot computer
4. goto device manager and verify that there is no USB device errors, if there is delete them and reboot again verify again in device manager.
5. install captivate drivers
6. reboot computer
7. start ODIN (DG or iCezars, iCezars is safer)
8. plug USB cable into the computer first (the one that came with the phone not an after market one)
9. hold both up and down volume buttons on the phone
10. plug the usb cable into the phone quickly to get into download mode (if I plugged the phone is slowly ODIN did not recognize the phone no COM, once I did it quick and it picked it up)
11. push START as soon as ODIN shows the COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4 etc (this had to be done quickly too, If i waited ODIN would show the COM but still would not start flashing back to stock)
this worked for me more than once I hope it helps you good luck
oh ok thanks, ill give that a try when i get off of work. i hope my battery doesnt die idk if its charging or not
well no luck even getting back to download mode. i bought a jig so i guess im waiting and trying while i wait.
i keep reading its possible to completely brick if odin fails... did i perma brick?
well a bump of sorts, the jig should come in the mail tomorrow. i miss my phone
jig came in the mail, im working on a few failed odin3 attempts but as i freaked out and started typing this post it seems like a great success. the jig works wonderful

I have not had to do this but I know some others had issues with Odin and had to right click on Odin and run as administrator for it to work. Also the Odin 1 click should work in almost any situation to get you back to stock. The only worry (again never had the problem) is that depending on the build version of the phone you could lose the three button recovery. Look for the Odin that DG posted.

[Q] please someone anyone HELP my samsung captivate is soft bricked

ok to start with I am soft bricked cause i got the phone-!-computer on my screen. here is how it got bricked to start with... was updating to android 2.3 gingerbread with kies mini and the first time when finished updating my wifi would not work so i flashed the rom with odin and it was a bad version cause instantly it went to recovery mode. so I went and downloaded odin one click and flashed it back to stock android eclair and went to update to 2.2 froyo with kies mini our power blinked and now im softbricked.
ok here is what ive tried so far... 3 button combo both volumes and power tried all that. ok next i tried one click unbrick it just say failed everytime... tried AIO captivate toolbox and no avail.. went radio shack got 3 resistors 100k made a jig touched pins 4 and 5 and didnt work either.. so my questions are as follows
1. what next????
2. could i have possibly shorted out my usb port on my phone since i accidently slipped and touched a pin i should not have and AIO captivate toolbox says usb debugging isnt on.
3. is there any way to test the micro usb port on the phone to see if its working right?
any and all help would be very much appreciated.
thanks...
You're actually in an ok place. That phone--/!\--computer screen will function like download mode most times. Just try your Odin file again and you should be fine.
odin isnt recognizing it. is there a way i can make it recognize it?
I just went through this and got my phone working so no need to panic. Odin wouldnt see my phone but heimdall does. Search for the kb2 heimdall one click package and see if that helps. Since you flashed back to 2.2 youll need to use kb2. If you are on GB i897 bootloaders youll need the kk4 heimdall one click package

Try different ports, if nothing else. Look in the "Captivate Connection Issues" post in my signature for more items.
Also, you will probably want to stop using the AIO Toolbox. That particular piece of software is a little risky, as it flashes a known dangerous bootloader setup.
I found myself in the same boat. 3-button combo won't work, you have to remove battery and usb cable. Replace battery. Plug usb cable into the motherboard directly(rear), hold volume + and volume - then plug the usb cable into your phone. hold volume buttons until your phone boots into download mode. (assuming you have proper drivers installed)
didnt work
tried both heimdels kk2 and kk4 they both say looking for device. and also tried plugging my usb cord into every usb port on my computer still nothing.
Did your drivers unseat? for some odd reason i had to reinstall the drivers to get mine out of soft brick.
drivers
would that be the drivers for the program or the phone? and also on the kk2 and kk4 they download as jar files just like oneclick unbrick did so do i need to unzip them and move the jar file to where the exe folder is then right click and run as administrator or can i just run the jar file i downloaded?
also the the zadig driver program that comes with heindel programs will not see my phone at all when plugged in any usb port but my wife has a captivate also and when i plugged hers in zadig can see it as samsung usb composite device....

Pull battery, pull cable. With phone off, replace battery. Then press volume up only, and power. When screen loads, plug your USB in. If you get the system files screen, press the menu key. Then try Oden. This is what I had to do to get it to work.
Gingerbread through mini kies sucks. Your better off getting Gingerbread here:

didnt work either
tried the just the volume up and power and plugged in usb still stuck in brick mode...
didnt work
the volume up and power then plug usb didnt work still in brick mode. should i try the usb jig with the phone off or on? when i touch pins 4 and 5 with the jig and the phone off the screen will come on but still computer- ! - phone no download mode
got it
finally got into download mode with the jig and alot of wiggling cussing fussing griping and finally praying lol.... thanks to all of you for your help not many strangers will help people anymore so thanks guys for your time i really appreciate it greatly

Unistall your phone's drivers, restart pc and reinstall them.
Drivers
So i dont know what the drivers are I had a friend set this all up for me. also i think if odin id updated that might work. It was current at the time but when a few months pass its time to update!

so i just updated odin and i still got nothing. so what are the drivers? ill try that.
if you dont even know what drivers are in windows, and have other people set things up for you, you should not be flashing your phone in the first place.
any time you buy a device and hook it up to windows you install??? drivers.
Google: "drivers"... a piece of software that tells an operating system how to use a device.
but it is doubtful reinstalling your drivers will help
what version of odin are you using? what are you trying to flash now? what were you flashing when it messed up?
im sorry but this may end up being an expensive lesson not to do things you dont understand. you may have to send your phone away to be jtagged or unbricked.
I still have the phone...!...computer screen so i should be able to flash it back to stock. and even though i didn't add the drivers I know what im doing so don't assume Im a noob at this. and for your information I own 6 Samsung captivates and I work for Mobile Tech Videos so I flash these phone a lot I flash at least twice a day. so Jtaging it will be rather inexpensive but I would like to figure this out so I don't have to spend my time shipping this phone out. I notice that a lot of people have the same trouble as I am having so if I figure out how to solve the worst soft brick (witch I now have) it will be great for A post that covers everything with this screen. I got my phone this way by the USB port falling out during flashing so I'm lucky to even have this screen. I was at gingerbread 2.3.5 stock flashing to ice cream sandwich. I tryed using the USB jig but it failed so all I need to know is what the driver names are so i can try what was recommended. I also think ADB might help solve the problem some how some way. I just got the most recent Odin I was using 1.3 now im using 1.85
Not to be mean or start something, but if you work for mobile tech videos and you don't know what drivers are or you say you flash phones multiple times a day, then you should have a GREAT idea of what to do to fix this problem. Did you flash an ICS ROM and it bootlooped on the first flash, well that is supposed to happen. And Since you were on 2.3.5 then there is no DL mode combo problem. I don't know what to tell you. use your resources and Google it, or better yet let me Google that for you...

[Q] Boot loop without recovery and download mode

Hello everybody!
I've tried to find a solution, but without success.
Today I tried to install CWM on a french Galaxy S.
I've rooted the phone with z4root and after I started on download mod with adb.
Then with Odin3 I installed this file "Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v2.7-CWM3RFS.tar".
After that the phone rebooted automatically, unfortunately it's rebooting eachtime on the galaxy s logo.
The problem are that I can't boot on download mod or on CWM.
When the phone is off and I plug it on charger, it doesn't charge!
I think my phone is bricked.
Do you think you can help me or it's dead?
Is there a hard reboot procedure or something like that?
Thanks
I have exactly the same problem!
Are you sure you can't enter recovery? Volume up+home+power.

Yes i'm 1000% sure!
I can acess the Download Mode, but Odin/Heimdall does not recognize the USB connection...

I know this is weird but keep hard resetting it. Try like 20 more times before you give up. Worked for me in the past I know it is weird. I had just flashed a new factory ROM.
I swear i have tried to enter the Recovery 20-30 times!!
It's fine
Hello,
I've bought an USB JIG for my SGS GT i9100 and I've been able to install ICS SLIM using Odin v3 1.7.
Very easy...
I advise this solution..

did u try vol down + home + power button to go to download mode? if it can do that, the problem is just find some driver to make odin recognize your phone. search for "usb driver for samsung galaxy s" in google
then you can bring back your phone to live by downloading any rom you want and flash it via odin
ps. but if you cannot go to download mode, JIG USB with 301 K ohm will help you look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0
Same problem here, I actually didn't see this in my search and made a new thread about it (feel free to delete). My computer had KIES on it so it had the drivers already and it's the same computer I went through the download mode before with so I have the drivers. I tried to reinstall them but still nothing.
I fear I may need to buy out my contract :crying:

I am sure that I am right with this. "If you root, do not use KIES" so you have to uninstall KIES and download separate USB driver.
Then it should see your phone when connect with ODIN

Sorry, I should have been more specific. When I reinstalled the drivers I had actually uninstalled KIES and installed just the drivers.
I do have an update though but still can't get it to boot completely. Late last night I decided to try to get download mode to work one last time before passing out and pressing Vol-, Home and Power actually brought me to the recovery screen for the first time in my phone's life! "F YA!" was the only thing I could think at the time so I first went through and formatted/wiped every option I could find then installed the CM9 that I knew worked and now I get to the alien with the matrix-esque background and it stops there. I plugged it in and left it on that screen all night and that guy was still staring at me this morning. I tried download mode again but my computer still doesn't recognize it.

Can't boot, getting a yellow triangle...

First of all, I'm sorry if the answer is somewhere, I searched, but I "only" found many threads with suggestions for JIG use... The three stickies of Q&A also don't present related information I believe...
After some stuck situation in odin, I can't boot the phone. I get a yellow triangle, between a phone and a computer icons. Even if I try to charge the Phone, I get that static screen.
There's anything I can do without using JIG? I cannot enter download mode (at least with the traditional way), I always get that screen. As fair as I know, the phone is still 2.1 with official firmware (i was trying to apple the 2.3.6)

you are still in download mode, without a proper ROM, so just connect with ODIN and it will function once USB cable is plugged in and flash the correct i9000 gingerbread ROM for your location

I already have the drivers, they were installed back then when I tried to update the phone, so they are present now.
The problem is, I cant get out of the black screen of death.. in fact, I'm not sure if this model/version can enter download mode through combo keys, yesterday when the phone was borrowed to me, I tried and I couldn't, so I was using adb reboot download shell command - but anyway, the drivers are there.

Then try on different PC. It might have corrupted. If you can see the triangle it means it is on download mode so it should connect to PC.

Yes. I'm wondering if my Google Nexus S drivers didn't not conflicted with the drivers I installed. I don't know.
Well, I'll try with another laptop, if that don't work, is it advisable to use a jig connector from a "trusted" seller? I'm asking because I already saw a comment or two along the about blewed (is this a word?) up phones.
Hey mate had the same issue your gonna have to get a jig as a lot of the i9000's came with corrupted boot loaders so you can't get into download without the jig and the screen your on isn't download mode I know which one your talking about with the phone the triangle and the computer

Do I risk blowing up the phone using JIG?
No the jig basicly makes it so a certain voltage signal is sent to the CPU triggering download mode no risk at all

I tried with another laptop with very well configured drivers, and didn't worked. Still didn't detected by odin. When I tried with another galaxy it works, after entering download mode...
I'm not admired, because before the brick, I was not able to enter the download mode with como keys, I shouldnt be surprised that does not happen now..

1) Uninstall your drivers, and re-install the ones following the instructions and link above.
2) Pull your battery out for a few mins and then put it back in and go into download mode (power, volume down, home button).
3) Download stock + odin from the link above, and start odin, and connect phone to pc through usb.
Your phone should be detected -- this is where you got stuck right? I'll assume if its detected, the rest you can figure out (plus its in the link above)
Good luck bro!

That would be a good suggestion if could get into download mode Tried everything, including some other solutions that I found around the Web. Looks like the bootloader was corrupted since the beginning, and now that I need it more than ever (because the black screen of death phone-!-pc), I stucked until (hopefully) i get a JIG... Already bought one, have to wait a few days to receive it. Until then, I'm going to use a old nokia.
Jig is only option then install a stock gingerbread that will fix 3 button combos
