[Q] got a dead phone after Cognition upgrade

i just upgrade my 2.1 into Cognition using rom manger
after installing i got a black screen with a blue text writing "NOW REBOOT"
nothing happened so i pushed the power button,since then nothing happened.
the phone dont response to nothing the screen is black like the phone is off.
i tried to go into download mode in order to use "one click odin" but nothing happens,the odin dont recognize the device and i get now picture while i am trying to get into the mode.
when i just got the phone i couldnt get into the recovery mode with the combination keys.seems like my phone dont response to any key combination.
and the biggest problem that i live in Israel and i dont have the option to replace it or something like that.
please,if can some1 root me what to do.
thanks .!

so i checked around here and i saw that device that cannot enter downloadmode using combination keys should use homemade 301k usb cable..
i checked the guide how to make 1 but it seems like very complicated action
can i buy it somewhere?
does any 1 want to make me 1 and i will pay him via paypal?

i upgraded as well and got the black screen and blue text it took so time but reboot. Did you try to get in download mode using sdk/adb ?

so i didnt wait enough and restart by pressing the power button.now i stock with a dead phone.
i cant use adb shell beacuse my computer dont recognize the phone nothing happens when i plug the usb.

yeah dude it looks that way maybe you should look around on how to unbrick i really dont know im kinda new to this all i do is read have much as i can on here and try not to mess mty phone up so far ive been doing a good job

got the same issue .. and the problem is that it's not mine .. it's my friend's phone :'(

I wish I was qualified to help you. There are several seperate ways to induce your phone into download mode with Odin and.revert back to stock. If I am reading the post here correct your phones do not even power on.
People have recovered from this state using Odin. I have never had to so I am not able to spell out the steps.

2 other small things to try
1 make sure USB is in rear port
2 I believe some have had success by right clicking Odin then selecting run as administrator. Then follow steps
Captivate
Cog 2.4

My phone is also stuck in this state (i.e. the phone won't turn on or respond to button presses or inserting usb cords). I'm not sure if Odin can fix that.

To all with this issue. Try Odin. Make sure you right click Odin and make administrator. Follow steps for Odin. It has worked for others. Make sure you are using the rear USB port. I may have this sequence off so search and make sure.it is right. Open Odin pull battery and sim put battery back in. Hold volume up and down. Plug in USB.

I had the same issue. Use odin. Hold both volume keys down and plug in the usb to your phone. You may have to hold it longer than normal. Sometimes the download screen does come on but odin will recognize it. Restore it and you should be okay.

I tried that already. The computer don't even recognize if there's any device plugged into it. I guess it has to be sent to Samsung

Mine was dead like yours with the black screen. My computer wouldnt recognize it. They have a post in general or Q&A where someone had the same issue as yours. I think is titled "Help". I was thinking the same thing that I would have to sent it in but it worked.
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.

Vol up down and power? i would say just vol up and down (for download mode )

Odin wont recognize phone

My phone goes into download mode without doing anything. It can be plugged into the charger and it would go into dowonload mode, just the power button puts it into download mode too. I'm trying to flash it back to stock but odin would not recognize the phone. I downloaded and installed the driver for my phone and it is not working. Help?

Maybe there's something that's blocking your volume keys.. Keep pressing and letting go of the volume keys till they feel better and then press the power to power on.. try it

Drivers
Where did you get your drivers from?
If you got them from the samsung website, then Odin won't see the phone.
You need to get them from this website.
Here's a link to a post that has the drivers:

If you did get them from here, try to reinstall them.
If that doesn't work, then it's above my head.

So... never mentioned - was your phone ever recognized by your computer in the first place?

And if I leave the phone in download mode plugged into the computer, screen goes black, out of download mode and back into download mode every minute or so.

What i did was i downloaded the drivers restart the computer open odin then put phone in download mode plug it in

Bricked Device

Guys I am sorry to disturb you all !!!
First of all it is an AT&T unlocked Galaxy S Captivate phone in India.
It had UCKK4 ROM.
So I tried to flash CornKernel_UCKK4_v70A.tar via odin 1.85 rightly placed the file in PDA.
The ODIN failed and gives the error, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and Try again" :crying:
I will be highly thankful to helps. :good::good:

Before flashing the kernel, I'm assuming you had put the phone into download mode, correct?
If not, make sure you shut the phone down, then hold Vol- and Vol+ and insert the USB cable. Once it's in download mode, try flashing again.
If that doesn't work, take a look at the "Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help" thread in my signature for some more ideas.

Thanks for your reply.
I had been in recovery mode. With drivers installed.
I have tried Vol+/Vol- method about 10 times but always have the same screen.
NO DOWNLOAD mode.
Even tried the jig I used for SGS but now with jig also the download mode is not coming.
Btw I am very very thankful for your reply.

That's odd. A jig that's putting 301 kOhm between pins 4 and 5 should kick you into download mode no matter what.
What exactly happens when you hold V+/V- and insert the USB cable? And are you doing it with the phone completely off?
Also, if you are able to get into recovery, is it stock recovery (with 4 options to choose from) or ClockworkMod Recovery (with about 7-9 options to choose from)?
If it's Clockworkmod recovery (CWM), mtcarey released a CWM-flashable version of his kernel that you could try.

Just to be sure...
Battery Out
USB Plugged in
Hold vol+ and vol-
Insert battery
Should take you into download mode

No matter what I do only one screen pops up. File attached in next reply.
I am using jig when the phone is off but battery in place. Some how I get the same screen.
To get recovery mode? All the buttons (V+/- and Power) pressed simultaneously. Right?
To be frank its my friends phone. I got SGS. :silly:
Attached in next reply.

Sorry attached here

You can use that screen as a download mode screen. Open odin first, then plug phone in while it is already at that screen.

The instructions aren't necessarily wrong, it's dependent on whether you have the I9000 or I897 bootloaders. The steps you've described are specific to the I9000 bootloaders - the steps mentioned above are for the I897.

If you're wanting to try ICS, take a look in the development section. There are several roms to try out - just look around and see if any of them look appealing to you.
Just as a word of caution, look for the "Encryption Unsuccessful" thread and read about that error message in there. ICS roms have a small chance of causing a serious issue for your phone, and it would be good to make sure you know the risks before flashing.
Other than that, just know that you'll probably have to flash your first ICS rom twice - once to set up the framework, and the second time to fully install the rom.

Try using 1.85. I believe that is the newest version. Make sure you're using a good cable. One of my captivates would always take 2 tries to flash kernels. Not sure why.
You could also use the one-click found in the EXE folder of the utility in my signature

I'm rather sure you have problems with reading.
- turn your OB off
- remove the back
- take the battery out
- hold vol+ button and plug USB in
It is not always needed to remove the battery but it helps sometimes especially when nothing else works, had it once myselfe where that was the only way I could get into SW upgrade mode.

Also not when removing battery, holding VOL+ and inserting the USB cable.

If OB is doing nothing at all it's a hard brick => service.
If OB's screen is showing something like 'security error' it's a soft brick => you can do a lot (like 'sw update' and use SFT)
So it's a difference of more than 5$.

You have the right area so don't worry about that.
It looks like your phone is done for good, but let's try to salvage it. Follow the steps carefully to avoid messing it up even further.
1.Make sure your battery is charged. Use an universal charger or something similar to charge it if not.
2.Unplug your phone from your USB cable or charger.
3.Put the battery back inside but do not power it up yet.
4.Hold the VOLUME DOWN button and the HOME button. While holding both of them, press and hold the POWER button. You should be prompted with a DOWNLOADING message. If nothing shows, then it's dead.
5.If you are shown the message, then you can still make it work. Make sure you have all your USB Drivers installed. After that download ODIN.
6.Open ODIN and plug in your phone while it is still in DOWNLOAD mode.
7.If it recognizes it, follow the steps here and you should be done.

There is not much left to do. If there is a method of fixing this type of hard brick, the chances are very slim. You're better off sending the phone to Samsung Care.
