What's the error you're getting? Also, what are you flashing?
Here's what I suggest: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953930
Also, you shouldn't be flashing stock 2.1. Flash stock 2.3.5 instead (KK4): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
You'll need the bootloaders version since you flashed Eclair's bootloaders.
I was able to resolve my issue by connecting data cable to another usb port

Hello,
I own a I-897 Captivate model, and I had a custom 2.3.4 gignerbread rom recently..
Latley I tried to move to cognition becuase the other rom did problems for me..
So I followed the guide, and when I first flashed the kernel I wasn't using any pit file..
So it's just stuck on odin with nothing happening, so I closed odin and rebooted my phone.
Then the phone showed me a logo with phone and computer with X between them.
So I flashed again using the pit then I got to the recovery, where I tried to install the cognition 5.2 without succes, it finished the install, but when I rebooted it just kept switching between the boot screen of AT&T and Galaxy S GT I9000..
So I tried to use my Nandroid backup, but it just won't work, I tried to install it manually and still it isn't working..
So I tried to instal my previous rom and succeeded, but now when I reboot it it just loading the Talon logo, finishes it and stuck on the end of the loading without any action...
So, I can use the download mode and odin.
What should I do?
Thank you very much.
What build number is your phone

I have read tons of time,
I tried to install Cyanogenmod, but it seems when I get to the recovery it doesn't work..
I flashed the recovery through CWM, but its very limited and blue not bright green or yellow as always.
I only got 4 options:
Reboot
Re-Install packges
Wipe user data
Wipe cahce
How do I get my recovery work properly?
That's not CMW that's the regular 3e recovery. You'll need to flash a kernel with CMW built in or one with an alternate recovery (I usually use an Onix kernel)

I've flashed a full gingerbread stock rom, with boot loaders and it works fine,
but now I can't get to the download mode, so I cant flash the rooted kernel..
I'm stucked unrooted, How can I root it?
It's Gingerbread 2.3.3 UCKF1 Build stock rom.
Pull out your battery, Sim, and SD card. Plug your usb cable into a usb port on the back of your computer then plug it into your phone. Hold volume up and down then reinsert your battery, should boot into download mode.

I have a i9000 phone here that i decided to flash a new kernal to. I flashed speedmod to it. It was originally completely stock 2.2 except that it had root. Anyways i flashed new kernel in odin. The kernel flashed and the it looked to be right, except it wont power on. the only thing i can do is get into download mode. any ideas.
find stock ROM and flash it with odin! its not bricked. connect it to odin and flash whole ROM the same way as u did with kernel.
use the search option to find the stock flashable with odin mate.

Try and flash again friend. Im sure it will work out
If that doesn't work then download the file again and flash the phone
Good Luck
P.S. PM me if u can't get it

Then follow this Guide for flashing ICS
Hi everyone,
I was on stock Gingerbread UCKE3.
I tried installing Speedmod kernel so that I could flash Cyanogenmod 9 using this method, however it didn't work and the phone was softbricked. Which was still alright, because I could still unbrick it every time with One-Click Unbrick.
So I decided to flash back to stock JF6 with Odin one-click, and it was stuck at sbl.bin for an hour. So I unplugged the phone, and it wouldn't power on anymore.
Almost every, if not all, unbricking threads I've read in this forum suggested flashing back to stock ROM using the very same Odin one-click that messed up my phone.
Right now I still can get into download mode, but I'm not sure whether I should flash it back using that Odin one-click.
Any idea? I really don't want to hardbrick my phone.
edit: I understand that the bootloaders are now messed up (primary = Gingerbread, secondary = Eclair). Would it be a good idea to flash back to stock Gingerbread UCKE3 (or even UCKF1)?
U were really really close to being hard bricked. The jf6 boot.bin had already flashed and apparently, thankfully for u, the sbl.bin had finished flashing even though it showed to be stuck there. Whew !!
If ur bootloaders were mix matched... GB / Eclair, u would be hard bricked. If u can still get in download mode then u r not hard bricked.
If it was my phone then i would use Odin or Heimdall Stock GB 2.3.5 i897ucKK4 One Click or the i897ucKK4 Full Firmware (whichever works best for the phone--some models don't like the one clicks) and flash it to Stock GB i897ucKK4 with Bootloaders. And then after that u don't need to flash a stock package with bootloaders again. And if u ever want to go back to Stock again, just go back to Stock KK4 with NO bootloaders.
Be sure u have a reliable micro usb/usb cable, constant power source to ur pc, use a usb port in the back of the pc, not u hub. And take a look at jmtheiss' stickied thread in the General forum ---Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help.

Hi 4-2ndtwin, thanks for replying. I had actually hardbricked my phone before your reply, so I sent it for jtag, and it's now back on Gingerbread UCKE3.
My main concern now is to root it and to upgrade it to Cyanogenmod 9. I can't seem to find any root method that doesn't mention upgrading to UCKF1 first. I had tried zroot and this anyway but they didn't work.
I'd be willing to upgrade to UCKK4 if it means I can root it later, though I'm unsure whether I should install bootloaders or not this time, because I'm coming from UCKE3. After all, mixed up bootloaders were what bricked my phone, and I really can't afford to hardbrick it again.
See TRusselo's Guide that is a stickied thread in this Q & A forum.
There is no need to get Root in order to flash a custom Rom. That guide will help u get to CM9.

If you already have the GB bootloaders, flash Odin KK4 without bootloaders.
If you were on Froyo or Eclair prior to flashing the kernel image, flash Odin KK4 with bootloaders.
From there, follow this guide to root and get a cwm recovery.
P.S.: You'll have to use a different usb port than the one you used Heimdall on as it installs it's own drivers and Odin won't work on it.

have you tried installing the drivers??
Id suggest you search for the hemidal stock Rom and try to flash with a different port. Back to stock Rom and start over again. It happened to me and I don't partically like Odin a lot, I prefer hemidall more

yeah i did, but now it doesnt even show up under the devices, and still wont be recognized by odin
uninstall drivers for anything else you run or have ever run on the usb ports
reboot pc, then install the drivers you need
