Hi, Im David, I have got a Samsung Galaxy S plus mobile.
I installed the clockworkmod to the phone to backup my datas, but i couldnt exit from the CWM.
After few rebooting, my mobile not boot. The samsung logo dont appear, and i plug into the charger, the battery dont appears too...
What should i do?
Im sorry for my grammar errors, im Hungarian.
Thank you for your answers!
Whatever you try to do screen remains black? No sound, nothing?
If so, I'm afraid you have been hard-bricked, but no need to panic, follow these steps and it will get your phone into download mode and from there you can flash a rom throught odin and your phone will be back to life.
Step 1 – Prepare odin with the firmware u want to flash and get it ready to go;
Step 2 – Remove battery, SIM and SD card, next connect your galaxy to the computer;
Step 3 – Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time;
Step 4 – Insert the battery and wait a bit;
Step 5 – At this point Odin should have detected your galaxy ( Yellow rectangle should appear in your odin );
Step 6 – Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.
That should bring your phone back to life.
If it worked for you, please click the "Thanks" button =)
No sound, no sign, the screen is black.
Im trying your steps. But how long the buttons I hold at step3?
if not something went wrong, it doesnt work
What about usb jig? Do i try it?
Well yeah you can try using a jig, As the jig will force your phone into the download mode and from there you can flash a custom rom.
If you don't have a jig you can find one on ebay
Jig might aswell not solve your problem, Since I think that your phone's bootloaders are damaged and therfore you have to send your phone to a repair place, and since your warrent is voided, they will charge you extra cash for that.
But you should first try the jig, High chance that it will force your phone into download mode.
Goodluck!
Press the "Thanks" button if I helped you
I will try the jig soon.
But i have a warranty. If i take it to the t-mobile with warranty, they repair it?

Once you rooted your phone, you have voided your warranty,, therefore they will charge you for the repair, If you still have your warranty, they will repair it for free, but rooting voides the warranty.
I installed only clockworkmod recovery.
Nothing else.
I tired the jig, nothing.
I think I take it to the service

Hi
first of all thank you for so much info.
I spend more than 10 hours looking for a solution on other posts but can't fins a solution.
my phone is bricked and i am not able to get to the download mode or the recovery. before I bricked it I was able to get the download mode with adb with since i tried odin, i have the phone --!-- computer
I am in canada so returning it would be a hassle. any help would be much appreciated to get to the download mode
thank you very much
Download Odin.
Take out the SIM, SD card, and battery. Launch Odin, replace the battery, and plug the USB cord in, and just press down on the volume up and down buttons.
This should boot it right into download mode, then flash with Odin.
This phone is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to brick.
man, i tried that maybe 50 times no kidding!
still no download mode

Hold the volume buttons first then plug in the usb. Thats what works for me. You have to have odin open first like he said.
just tried and still nothing....
if somebody is located in montreal, i would love to meet them to check that out

Having Odin open makes no difference if his button combo is not working. Unfortunately some people are not aware that there phone does not have the 3 button combo working.
what is your solution when you don t have the 3 button combo working?
The only thing you can do if there is no way to reach download mode is to contact At&t or samsung and see if they can repair the phone for you.
Have you tried using a different usb cable, someone mentioned that some USB cables dont work right with the captivate, try the one that came with the phone.
I know odin doesnt matter, but if he is going to flash with odin it helps to have it open first is all I meant. As far as that screen and no three button combo I think you are done... bricked... sorry, dont take my word for it though.
I could enter download mode with key combination before applying Cog's Beta5.5...
I've returned my cappy for exchange.
I am trying with the cable that came with the phone. I don't have another one.
I just bought this phone out of ebay. I will give it this week end to try and find a solution.
I really don't see any as of now but we'll see...
I will try return the phone to the ebay seller as i asked him before buying it if you could go into download mode! and he said yes!
man, I hope i find a solution!
what happens when you try and start your phone normally -- boot screen loop, anything?
Can you get into recovery mode?
when I try to start it normal I get the phone--!--computer
I am sure I tried recovery mode without any success. I am telling I spent so much time on this forum that my wife is going to start being jalous
How do you get to recovry mode again? I tried so many things, that I don't remember
you can't get the phone to be recognized on your computer? Could do ADB to boot into download.
But the battery trick should work.
Pull the sim, external sdcard, and battery.
Hold down the volume buttons and plug in the USB
Then jam the battery back in.
It might take a few times to get it.. but it should get into download mode. I just restored mine doing this trick when it was stuck on this screen.
Really we need to have a youtube vid of this technique

Hold down both volume buttons then hold down the power button until the boot s screen flashes two times then release the power button.
BTW - although it is a LOOOOONG video.. this might help folks out:

Not sure if it will help, but I've also read that you should use the actual motherboard usb ports and not a hub or any kind of "external" ports (i.e. the ports on the front of the tower)
i did all that stuff.
I ended up returning it to the ebay seller who will send me another captivate.
thanks guys
My download was working on cog 2.2 beta before i flashed back to stock using odin. Now when I try to enter download mode i just see the charging symbol. So the only thing that has changed is software. Could odin3 remove my download mode? What can i do?
Its been a rough night for me. I did a Nandroid backup which turned out I needed to restore after something else failed. After restore I did not have what I expected.
Anyway, to make a long story short, I ended up in a situation that no matter what I did, I could not get into download mode. Only recovery.
The good news is that after trying several different things, I finally found I had the original base rom I was using still on the SD card (even though I had done a Master Clear). I guess maybe the only thing that will empty the SD card is to format it.
I have no idea what I would have done had I not had a Clockwork zip on there.
I was trying to flash the Cognition 2.4 ROM, when it's done and reboot, it died. Nothing works, no download mode, no recovery mode, nothing on screen, but the phone is getting hotter and hotter after the power button is pressed.
I tried the procedures that says can cure a totally bricked captivate, but it didn't help.
Is there any other ways to unbrick it? It's only the 4th day after I purchase it
if you've only had it for 4 days, take it back..just don't tell em what you did to brick it..Just tell em you went to sleep and when you woke up thats how it was...or something to that affect
Just don't tell them you were trying to flash it or root it..Cause rooting DOES VOID YOUR WARRENTY!!!!
Search this site for Odin. There should be ways to recover. But as stated if you have had it for 4 days you can bring it back.
You said your phone just died. At what point, and how long did you wait before you gave up?
Captivate
Cog 2.4
Black Screen / RST_STATUS 0x0
Procedure:
1. Remove the battery, external SD card and SIM card.
2. Wait 10 seconds.
3. Open odin3
4. Connect usb cable.
5. Hold volume up + volume down + Power.
6. Insert battery.
7. Release POWER BUTTON ONLY.
Its worked when my phone did the same thing.
I used this one and it worked.

I had this happen a few weeks ago, same thing flashing cognition and got the crazy messed up text and pulled the battery....
In my case the guy who fixed it for me told me he needed to reflash the bootloader
I paid someone for this since I couldn't find a way. I hope for your sake you don't have too and can do it for free

I am in the same situation as you.
Recently rooted my Tab using v4root (Permanent Root)
Had already installed latest Kies and connected via USB to see it was being picked up.
Then tried to flash a rom using Odin v1.3 but it too failed towards the end and hung. I (stupidly) pulled the usb and restarted the tab to try again but now nothing!!
If I press power+down to get into DL mode, or power+Up to get into Recovery mode - all i get is the backlight turn on after 10seconds. Soon as I release the Power button, the backlight turns off.
Have tried plugging it to Odin but it does not see it at all (no yellow COM box) and also in Kies, it is not recognised even to try an Emergency Firmware Recovery.
Help please anyone
Can Someone help our problems????
i had a similar predicament mid last month when i made a mistake with the files i was flashing.. ended up with a black screen and my pc only recognises the tab as "SECs5pc110 test b/d device"... and either kies, odin, or heimdall wasn't seeing it as a tab. i had no choice but to send it to a samsung repair center. i got it back last friday.
if you are not able to enter a download mode or an alternate download mode there is no other choice but to send it to a repair center.

How long did it take for it to come back?
Did they charge you a repair/diagnostic fee for it, if so how much
I just got off the phone to them and they said i could send it over very recorded (insured) delivery but my "software update may have voided my warranty as there isn't a latest software update for the Galaxy Tab as yet"
i got my tab back after 2 weeks. as i was still covered by warranty (bought it around december 2010) i got it back without paying anything.
I have the same backlight on and black screen issue. Isn't there any other option and solve for the problem rather than sending it to a samsung repair center??
@ygmrsimsek when you connect your tab to your pc, does it detect your tab? when you check on your device manager does it recognize your tab as "SECs5pc110 test b/d device" or something similar to this?
Hopefully this will help. Go to download mode (Power button + Down volume + home key). use odin to repartition your tab. This should recover your failed tab. Btw, there are many help on this in software hacking and development forum. Check them out.
Got my tab back
after a week i wait for my tablet..
its back to mee..they said my mainboard is broken,so they replace it with a new one
thanks all for ur support...
looks like i stop doing the flash and upgrading things
that's good to hear.. did they charge you for the replacement?
I am hoping someone can help me out. Yesterday I was using Odin to flash Apex 10. I was loading the bootloaders when the usb cable was pulled out and I didnt have the battery cover on and the battery fell out. Now I cant get into download mode. I have pulled the battery a thousand times. Before this happened I was able to use the three buttons to get into download mode. I need to start the process all over but cant do anything without getting into download mode. I dont have a jig. I searched and saw where I could download the three button fix. When I use CWM and reboot to recovery it doesnt give me the option to install from SD card.
The phone works but when I turn it on the booting animation says Galaxy i9000. Im currently on 2.2...baseband I897UCKB2.
Can I use AIO toolbox to correct this problem? After messing up last night I'm a little nervous at this point.
Also could someone point me to the correct bootloader for the Captivate? I want to make sure I used the right one.
Thanks in advance and please dont flame me. I searched this forum and honestly what I found only confused me more.

Do not use the 3 button fix or u may hard brick ur phone.
The i897 gingerbread bootloaders link is in my signature below.
Right click and run as administrator the Odin 1st. Then...
To get in download mode try leaving out ur battery, connect usb end of cable to usb port in the back of desktop computer or 1st port on laptop, connect micro usb end to phone while holding volume down button only , replace battery and cover, Odin may recognize your phone now, if so flash the i897 booloaders. Set phone aside and wait, should not take long.
If you get the "phone ! computer firmware upgrade fail" screen, don't worry, just treat it as a download screen. If all this does not work, then u will need to make or buy a jig.
Do not flash the 3 button fix over this you will hard brick your phone
If u can boot your phone after all this thn you are one lucky guy, You messed while flashing th BL and your phone still works, If you have i9000 boot screen that means you have flashed the i9000 bootloaders.
After flashing the i9000 BL the combination for the DL and recovery chages to.
Volume down plus power= DL
Volume up plus power = Recovery
.
I swear I love both of you. I got the phone in download mode by volume dwn + power. I will see if I can accomplish what I set out to do last night.

If your phone doesn’t boot into download mode and you have a black screen after flashing, heres how you unbrick it:
Step 1 – Prepare odin with the firmware u want to flash and get it ready to go;
Step 2 – Remove battery, SIM and SD card, next connect your galaxy to the computer;
Step 3 – Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time;
Step 4 – Insert the battery and wait a bit;
Step 5 – At this point Odin should have detected your galaxy ( Yellow rectangle should appear in your odin );
Step 6 – Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.
If all goes well it should come back to life. Original Thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1120880

Did that and tried that but no such luck,even not with other batterie pushed in that was fully charged for sure.
Now it's going back to repair center will be back in about 10 days so will keep you posted on what was the issue after all when i get feedback from samsung repair.
For so far thanks for your help till now
