[Q] Captivate wont go in any mode?

Hey guys,
I searched everywhere, and could not find an answer. Heres what happened:
Messed up Cyanogen install, so I used a One Click installer to go back to stock.
Once stock, popped phone in download mode, and used Odin to flash the CM7 kernel. Odin said PASS
Unplugged USB and held both volume rockers and the power button.
Phone rebooted (i let go at the ATT screen), and it now sticks at the Galaxy S / cyanogen(mod) screen.
I have tried these methods (for both download and recovery mode)
Held both rockers and plugged in USB (the battery just came up)
Put battery in, held one rocker at a time and power
Tried ADB, but it can't find the device.
Also tried holding all three buttons (both volume rockers and power) and the phone did the same thing.
Odin won't pick it up, ADB won't pick it up, and it seems that I can't get into Download or Recovery mode.
Any ideas? Just I just buy a Jig to go into download mode?

Had that happen to me when I tried to ditch cm7 and go back to stock so I could flash serendipity. I lost my 3 button combo flashing cm7 for some reason.. worked fine before cm7 for both recovery and download mode, and neither worked after flashing cm7.
Solution is to just use a jig to go back to stock and flash a new rom from there. Or you can do what I did and use a jig to go back to stock, then flash cog 4.2 or something that includes an sbl with the 3 button fix.

Hi ..
The same thing happened on my phone yesterday i was trying to install the MIUI rom on my phone.
The phone is stuck on the Galaxy S Cyanogen Mod Screen .
ADB doesn't detect my phone.
I never had the 3 button combo working on my Captivate for AT&T.
I used the adb commands to enter recovery and download mode..
Now Since the phone itself is not getting detected i can't even use adb commands.
What do i Do next.??
Please help..
would really appreciate suggestions...
thnks...

Get a jig, saved my phone a few weeks ago after a bad rom install.

That is a nice, nasty, hard brick.
If you are getting into download mode and ODIN running on the PC recognises your phone, you are lucky - get any stock rom from samfirmware and flash it first. Use the phone for a few days more, and then, you can upgrade to new 7.1 cyanogenmod ROM.

try going into download mode by holding home and vol down the connect the usb 2 ur phone
or try holding vol up+down home and power
if it doesnt work try getting a jig from ebay

get a jig its the only way to fix it

SSC (Samsung Service Center) is the only way.
Congrats, next time read before doing anything.

[HELP PLZ] bricked ACE, no USB connection

Hi all,
i've bricked my ACE by flashing it to CM not by Odin but by pressing <Install from ZIP> in the recovery mode ...
After it i think the filesystem was destroyed (got errors like "E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)").
I would flash it again but this time by Odin, and first of all flash CWM... but the issue is my ACE is not recognized
by Windows when connected to USB. I have tried reinstalling Kies, Samsung drivers without Kies, different USB ports and also
different PCs -> no result :crying:
Is there a way to recover the filesystem without using USB? Or how can i connect that damn thing to USB with properly recognize?
I have tried to give ACE to Samsung service, but all that they wrote was: "... irreparable damage due to damp ..." WTF?!?!
Please someone try to help me.
Thanks a lot.

You can't do anything if even Samsung gave up on it (they can revive almost all of there phones) .
However you could post this info so someone else does not make the same mistake.
1. Full phone model info
2. ROM you were originally on
3. Which recovery you used
4. Odin version
5. Which CM you flashed
6. What carrier(operator) are you on (the phone might had been locked)

I have managed to check if the phone is actually working or not even in the particular case you mention where it does not seem to turn on at all.
1)Kill KiesTrayAgent.
2)Remove the battery and usb cable.
3)Plug usb cable (also to the computer).
4)Keep pressed all buttons; Vol Up, Vol Down, Home and Power.
5)Replace the battery.
6)Let go of the buttons.
7)Odin recognizes the phone but will not connect to it.
If it does not work (the key combination might be wrong), try again with Up, Home and Power or Down, Home and Power.
One of those 3 combinations worked for me and realized that the phone was hard bricked.
Eventually I managed to revive it (although not myself)

The only thing that you may do is press VolDown + menu + powerbutton with odin . It will open the download mode. If it not work, your motherboard is burned!
Sorry for my bad english.

I think you used stock recovery. U need custom extended recoveries like CWM 5 to flash roms.

[Q] Help unbricking Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830

Hello everyone,
I've been using this community for a while, but this is my first post. One or two months ago I successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and installed Imaginary ICS Final along with CWM Recovery 5.0.2.6. Everything worked fine but today I decided to update to a 4.4 custom rom. I installed CM 11 from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659269, but after selecting my language a popup apeared which said "The setup aplication has stopped working", so I looked for another ROM. I found this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684893, but it required TWRP Recovery to be installed. I downloaded it, copied it to my SD and tried to install it form CWM 5.0.2.6.
Now, my phone goes into a blue screen whether I try to boot normally or into the recovery menu and I don't now how to solve it. Since I can boot into download mode, I've tried using Odin, but it doesn't recognize my phone. Can anyone help me, please? Thanks a lot in advance.
PS: I'm using Windows 8.1 x64.
EDIT: Now Odin recognizes it, but it gets stuck in "<1> setup connection...".
EDIT 2: I've solved it flashing through Odin with a PC running a clean installation of Windows 7.

You usually get the "setup connection" error when you are in the Emergency Download Mode instead of Download Mode. You go to Emergency Download Mode by holding down Volume Up + Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button in which it loads a screen that says "Emergency Download Mode" and you go to Download mode by holding down Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button in which it does load the correct download screen with the yellowish message that say "Downloading…". Please make sure you are going to the Download Mode. Then try to flash again. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

Phone should detect in odin if you've Installed proper drivers for your phone.

You're right, I was entering Emergency Download Mode (the one which says ARM9 mode). However, if I enter the normal download mode and plug my phone, Odin doesn't recognize it and Windows shows a message in the traybar which says "Can't recognize USB device".

Bro, this question is solved. See "Edit 2" in the question where the author has specified what he did to solve this problem.

i9305 bricked. Vol UP button broken: can't go to DL mode

Hello,
I tried to flash twrp on a stock i9305 through Odin.
It initially seemed unsuccessful (rebooting to stock recovery) until i rooted the phone and flashed twrp again.
From twrp i then tried to flash RR rom but it refused (don't remember detailed message). I decided to give up and reboot.
The phone stays stuck on samsung logo.
I removed the battery. Restarted with 'home+volDown+power'
All i can get is the screen telling me to press VolUP to flash a ROM. My issue is that the VolUP button does not work.
I tried to remove it and press with a pin to no avail.
I can't use adb (not recognized)
Odin sees the phone but can not flash anything as the phone is not in DL mode...
Any ideas ?
Thanks a lot!

I suggest to get a USB jig. I've always one at home. Bought mine on eBay for about 2€. Just search the web.

Thanks. Just looked it up. I'll give it a shot :good:
