So I, (like apparently many other 5830D users) was having the bug where it would randomly restart for no apparent reason.
i read that froyo did not have this issue, and figured id give it a shot. i downloaded the ZSKC2 2.2.1 files and loaded them into odin with cooper_v1.0.ops, connected my phone and hit start.
it said it installed everything just fine, but when my phone went to reboot, it didnt.
it flashed a black, blank screen for maybe a second and that was it.
so i tried to go back into download mode on it so i could reinstall the firmware it had before, and i couldnt get it to work.
it would turn on the screen, flash the "downloading..." text for a second, and then turn off the screen. it was weird, because the text was white, not the yellow it always seemed to be. odin recognized my phone for that second, but that was it. once the display turned off, the connection went away. i've tried other usb ports, but no luck
is there any way i can fix this? or is my ace bricked for good? i have no warranty with it because i bought it used.
ive read about a USB jig, will that help?
please, any help at all would mean a lot!
1) You should have taken the bill & the warranty card from the owner you bought this phone.
Coming to the point, it appears to me that there might be a problem with your battery, but I ain't sure about this. Try using a different battery with your phone. Also, are you sure to have used the odin & stock rom for S5830D & not S5830 ? Check these aspects first. If you've got them right, then there'll be either a multi-package or a single package filed stock rom for your device. You can google for the exact odin flashing, try again to boot into download mode again & flash. If your phone fails again to go into the download mode, use the search option here on xda to find out the issue with your phone or the best thing to do would be go to the service centre & tell them that donno what went wrong & this happened.

okay, i tried the battery from my other phone and got it into download mode, i installed the stock rom and it is working again, but the reboot problem is still there!
is there any way to fix that? i have a feeling it might have something to do with the kernel, other roms still reboot and apparently froyo doesnt, the only thing common between all the gingerbread roms that i can think of is the kernel.
i have flashed S5830,T,L,B roms with no issues, but the reboot still occurs. cyanogen hasnt helped either, do you have any clues?

After flashing via odin, if you face a bootloop, reboot into stock recovery & do a factory reset & reboot now. It should work.

..but it is not tuck in a boot loop. its doing what the stock roms did; it'll boot into the rom fine, and you can use it, but once it goes to sleep the phone restarts itself.

If you are having this issue with the froyo, try it out with GB. If the issue prevails, go to service centre. Sorry for repeating the same thing again & again but that's the best I could say of it...

So you've opened ezodin, entered the 3 files into the right sections(PDA,PHONE and CSC) and entered the pit file in the Ezbase post, then put your phone into DL mode and plug in. Then flash. The repartition should remove the lagfix. Give it another go..
i cant the phone wont turn on now
Do you have download mode? Or anything? Does the screen light up at all?

If nothing comes to screen your phone is totally dead. You must send it to samsung unless you have Riffbox or other JTAG device.

Can you get into download mode?
What rom were you trying to flash? And what version of Odin were you using?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
That happened to me...kind of like a snow screen but multi colored???
The problem was that the kernel was not compatible with the rom.
I was able to get mine into DL mode with a jig I made and re flashed a verified compatible kernel and all was well.
Its not bricked you just need to boot into download mode and use odin one click back to stock or flash the right kernel
Sent from my Captivate
I had this happen last month also, it was a bad flash going from Stock 2.2 to Continuum I think. Culprit was a cheap cable, so look out for that next time. Built a jig from the connector of the cable and all was well in Cappy-land.

You are not bricked.
If you can't get into download mode via buttons, build the jig.
it's really easier then it looks (it looked intimidating at first).
And once you do it successfully you will feel better about yourself.
it may take a few tries specially if you don't follow the instructions correctly
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.

Okay, so I have installed Speedrom kernel earlier, then tried to flash ICSSGS, and after it restarted the phone, it went to the Samsung Captivate logo. I reflashed Speedrom via Heimdall. Once it restarted I continued into reflashing ICSSGS from CWM. It continued installing, and I selected the options I wanted (I tried both kernels, to no avail). After it said it was done and restarted I was greeted by the Samsung Captivate logo. I have been stuck here ever since.
I was running I897UCKB2.
I can access download mode, recovery, I can flash new recoveries and new roms. However no roms actually flash. I have searched all over and can not seem to find anyone with exactly the same results. Maybe I am searching the wrong terms.
I have tried Kies, but can not get into the phone, so I can not use it. I have tried odin3 1.7, I have also tried several odin one click setups, all of which connect to the phone, and attempt to install, 2-3 hours later, or even 8 i come back to it still frozen. When I restart the phone I am stuck at the /!\ screen. using the UnBrickable mod, I can get it back into recovery, I can not get it to go any other way besides UnBrickable Mod.
I also can not access ADB or fastboot, it is always waiting on the device.
I am at a complete lost here. Tomorrow I plan on launching Ubuntu and seeing if I can fix the issue.
Does anyone know why the ROMs are ot flashing correctly?
edit: I should add that after attempting to install ICSSGS my phone is no longer recognized at i897 and incapable of installing CM9. After changing the build.prop I am still unable to get it to recognize. As of now attempting to install CM9 installs CWM 5.5 and reboots, and then never does anything.
Try using nexus drivers on ur pc.
Then if u can get into download mode, flash to stock of ur choice and then use TRusselo's Guide, that is stickied in the Q & A forum, to proceed further.
U can use the /!\ screen as a download screen.

I woke up this morning with it still stuck at Firmware upgrade. My computer went to sleep during the night.. Thought I had turned it off. Luckily it looks like when I turned it on, Odin One-Click for 2.1 started up and started flashing it. Phone restarted and actually appears to be doing something.
So I guess Flash Odin Twice?

As for Trusselo's Guide, its the one I followed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
Doesnt flash ROMs for me. I tried it again in Ubunutu. It is a no go. I am not as experienced as I'd like to be flashing, but its not a hard process, So I am very unsure as to whats going on that flashes are not working. Well ROM flashes at least, I now am running, Eclair 2.1-update1. I am going to try to flash a new bootloader, the e2 and see if I can maybe get around the issue I am having.
Not sure why things are not going good for u according to TRusselo's Guide...??
Be sure and read plenty before u flash. Know what u r doing and the risks. Newer Stickied Threads in the Captivate Forums r ur friend.
I tried flashing a few more times, and got nothing. I began to give up, but last second tried installing CM9 Nightly, it went through finally. Haven't done anything different. I checked the videos I recorded to see if I had did anything different. Only Difference is flashing the bootloader twice before running CWM to install CM9.
Glad that nightmare is over. Girlfriend should be very excited that it is working. Now if I only had a 100% Sense free and 100% working ICS for my Amaze.
Thanks for your help.
Glad u got it going. Thx for reporting back.

Hi, I need some advice. I dropped my Galaxy S in a puddle. It was submerged for the just a second, but when I fished it out, the screen had gone 'weird', so I got the battery out as quickly as possible, then dried it out for a few days in the airing cupboard. I then tried it and it started up okay, then when I swiped to unlock the screen, it froze. since then I have been unable to boot the phone. It shows the Galaxy logo, then restarts and continues that loop.
I wondered if maybe the software has just been corrupted during its bath, so I thought i might try flashing a ROM onto it to see if that would recover. I found that I could not enter recovery mode but download mode opened okay. I have tried flashing a few ROMS using Odin. I am completely new to this and have never flashed my phone before, so steep learning curve. I have so far tried - I9000XWJW5 which I believe is normally used before installing Cyanogen mod. I also downloaded the T-Mobile Stock ROM and one with this filename - CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS. All of these successfully downloaded to the phone and I could see the progress bar on the phone. Unfortunately I still cannot get the phone into recovery mode.
So, whats your opinion? is my phone screwed? Is there anything else I can try which may help, like formatting or anything like that.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
try search for value pack 2.3.6 and flash it then root it after that I believe you should get the recovery option.

Can I do that without being able to get into recovery mode?
I've just been reading that I can use a PIT file to repartition during flashing. Is it worth trying? I noticed in the Value pack TAR file it does not have a PIT file. I got one downloaded from somewhere else called - s1_odin_20100512.pit worth a shot?
I tried including the pit file as well. Odin reported success but phone is still continuous boot loop and I cannot get recovery mode up. Do you think one of those USB things that get you into download mode would help? I'm beginning to think the internal SD is knackered, or something like that.
I think the memory is brocken but i don't realy know. Send it to Samsung for a check
