I randomly got stuck into a boot loop on my Samsung Captivate i897. I've read around a bit and seems like I need to use Odin to fix this issue. I couldn't get into download more through the phone buttons so I ordered a JIG. I am now in download mode and have Odin v3.04 installed. Can I use this version or do I need to have a specific version for the Captivate i897? Anyways, I believe I need the PIT and PDA files to do this fix. If so, can someone link me to them? I am not able to find a working link for these 2 files.
Any help would be appreciated :good:

What ROM you are currently running and what kernel?
Might be software or hardware issue, more information is needed.

Sorry, It has been a while and I cannot remember I wish I could get into SOMETHING on the phone to retrieve this information instead of staring at the loading screen forever
There is a sticky thread in Captivate Android Development with Odin one-click stock ROMs. Flash the phone back to stock ROM and see if it solves the problem. In your case I would use Android 2.1 package without bootloaders, because there is no information about what bootloaders you have. Read carefully the flashing instructions and you should be fine.
You can also use the universal Odin from the galaxy s2/3/4 forums. I've used it a bit with no issues.

If u have a custom rom u also have custom recovery ? Flash ur backup of original or other. Can still put random backup or custom rom from sd card. If ur crazy about that particular rom then get a fresh copy.

Odin Version: 1.83, 1.85 or Heimdall
Pit: Heimdall can extract PIT
I'd recommend getting the KK4 Heimdall One Click, since it works cross-platform, its safer than Odin and it comes with bootloader in case you wanted to try the i9000 GB BL/Any i9000 based rom

Playing with other bootloaders (I9000) is not something to get started with.. I highly discourage people of doing so unless they fully understand what they're doing.

But if you want to use an i9000 rom, you're going to need the BL though. For AOSP, either is fine I'm pretty sure

True. I guess what I meant is more along the lines of don't play with those if you're getting started or getting back into flashing. Bootloaders are the only way to brick your phone so the less you play with them, the better!

Thanks for all the replies people. I have downloaded Android 2.1 w/o bootloader.

Ok thanks. gb = gingerbread right?
Also, I am stuck at this step: "Find a neat-o ROM from Captivate Development Section and get it onto your internal SD card (the one you cant remove) download using phone internet browser or download and copy to phone using PC."
When I plug phone into PC through USB, My Computer shows 2 new drives but I am unable to open either
Go to Settings/ Applications/ USB settings/ then select Mass storage, then back out to Home screen. Then when u connect ur phone to ur pc, look at ur Captivate screen, it will show USB connected, then u have to tap the button that says...Connect storage to PC.
That should do it. :thumbup:

Think you missed the fact that I can't load into my phone The issue at hand is a boot loop
Can ya reboot into Recovery ? If yes then wipe data/factory reset, then reboot.
If not and u can get into download mode u can try one of the stock KK4 One Clicks that i put together. They will wipe data, dbdata and cache for u and will put u on complete stock i897uckk4 gingerbread 2.3.5 firmware.

The problem isn't with the cable, drivers, or ports I believe. It is because I do not have USB debugging enabled; and there is no way I can enable it since I cannot get into my phone :/ Is it possible to enable it through the computer via any software?

Usb debugging is only needed for ADB and couple other things. It doesn't change anything to the pc recognizing your phone. (Think about it, out of the box, you can connect it to your pc and it doesn't have usb debugging on)

Hey there,
Got my moms Galaxy over here. Thing wasn't updated and slow as hell so I thought I'd update it. Went through the Kies process but that didn't really work, phone just couldn't make connection despite what ever driver I used (win or mac, got both here).
So first things went haywire when I read somewhere to flash recovery I needed to do something via Heimdall. Did that with the command window and afterwards the phone got stuck in a bootloop (only the I9000+samsung repeating over and over again).
Then I tried flashing GB from samfirmware, which failed. All done through odin, the screen went purple at dbdata.rfs. So I went with stock froyo, from the androidworld.nl forums and same thing happens but now it's a blue screen at factoryfs.rfs.
What am I doing wrong?
Try flashing again via Odin and this time don't touch your pc while it is flashing. That yellow purple screen has happened to me while I was doing other things while flashing was going on in the background.
And check if your phone is i9000 or i9000+ and flash the their respective firmware .

Since the screwup started with Heimdall, might fix it with that?
Watch a YouTube video and see if you're doing everything properly.
What I do is
1. Go to download mode
2. Open Odin, select pit, PDA, phone, CSC files. And remember to check the re partition option
3. Connect your phone
4. Click start.

Hm, no. It's a replacement cable (cheap) which I used for my Desire, no problem with that at all. Though it might be it indeed! Will be two days before I can get the original cable.
In the meanwhile I got CWM-based Recovery v.5.0.2.6 working.. while installing cyanogenmod it goes "checking blm status", then "install from sd complete".. a bit strange and it doesn't boot into the rom but into the recovery.

Switching back to the original cable fixed the problem for me. Hope it does for you as well, try that and tell us what happened!.
Can I still use Odin then, now with CWM recovery?
You can use Mobile Odin by Chainfire (look for it in the market), it works exactly as an Odin built-in your SGS with no need for PC.

I've put myself in a bit of a hassle. I think I accidentally flashed the wrong ROM through Odin into my i9000 when being very stressed out, since I couldn't be reached while at work because of a boot loop.
Luckily I got saved by the fact that the OS still boots, thus allowing me to enter recovery or download mode using ADB.
But, I can't enter recovery or download mode using the three button combo anymore, seeing as my current ROM is performing too bad I'm now afraid to flash a new one. If I get stuck in a boot loop now I wouldn't know at all what to do.
TL;DR: What can I flash into my phone using Odin to make the three-button-combo functional again?
EDIT: Would "[ODIN] DarkyROM 10.2 Resurrection GT-I9000" work for me?
Cheers

My phone is already rooted and temporarily using CM9, but will flashing these files provide me with the correct firmware? And by firmware I mean which ever software is on a level low enough to handle key presses before boot.
Thanks
EDIT: From what I've read, it appears as the reason I can't enter download mode probably is because I don't have a primary bootloader. I'll try to flash the version with bootloader included.

I managed to start the download mode by pressing both volume buttons, and while having done so for about 1s I connected the USB. This brought up a message telling me to press VolUp to get to download mode and VolDown to reboot again. I was stumped by this seeing as nothing happened as I pressed VolUp, I then decided to press VolDown which got me to Download Mode.
I'll try to install XXJVK now. Cheers!
TL;DR: VolUp+VolDown -> Insert USB after about 1s -> Press VolDown even though it tells you to press VolUp

odin and download mode problems
hi there
i'm not just a Noob, i'm also very far from being a pro', so all the professional terms mean nothing to me. this is why the forum is very confusing for me...
I got my galaxy S Hebrew OS on it, wich turned out to be a troublemaker. i'ts a phone I bought in china, so it sill has strange chinees notifications no one can understand... and no facebook access, and I can't download skype (it says "skype is not available in your country", even when I had an israeli sim and israeli wifi).
I want to upgrade to Gingerbread (2.3.4), assuming it will erase any sign of the hebrew os, plus improve my phone generally.
I have a guide, odin3 and all the necessary files. when the phone is on download mode, the odin won't recognize the connection. I don't have kies, and when the phone in on ordinary mode there are no connection problems (i'm on "mass storage" in the usb options). I tried it with an israeli sim in, a chinees sim in, and without any sim at all. nothing works. everytime the computer reacts with sound and everything (this sad sound of "i know there's something there and can't connect it"). it's a new laptop with windows 7. I don't have another computer, but I can go to a friend's house if there's a chance win xp would work... should I? are there any other known solutions for this problem?
in addition- do you know (or does anybody know) how can I fix the chinees problems (blocks?) with facebook, skype etc.?

Im assuming its a kernel problem. ive tried alot of methods on here, searched alot of the forums on these phones being soft bricked. tried the vol+,home, power; vol-,home, power; both volumes, power; also tried with connecting usb and odin open; both volumes, connect usb, input batt; vol-, connect usb, input batt; ectect. i just cant get past that boot logo. I have the drivers from samsung installed but when connecting to the computer it registers that something connected but doesnt identify the phone. so is there anything i am missing guys? i read about the jig and i am guessing thats where im gonna have to go with this. no problem there; just seeing if anyone has any other ideas. thanks in advance guys!

A jig will force download mode but is only needed is vol down + power button doesn't get you in it.
Do you know if she was on gb and up? That would change your button combo to get in recovery to vol up + down + power button.
If you can get in recovery that way, you have 2 options: 1- clear cache and dalvik (in advanced) and try rebooting. 2- reflash the custom ROM she was running (without deleting anything).
If recovery doesn't work, get in download mode and flash Odin KK4 without bootloaders (in dev section). From there, you'll need to flash Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 and you'll be able to get in recovery to flash the ROM and Gapps she was running. *Doing this will wipe her apps and apps data*

If recovery doesn't work, get in download mode and flash Odin KK4 without bootloaders (in dev section). From there, you'll need to flash Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 and you'll be able to get in recovery to flash the ROM and Gapps she was running. *Doing this will wipe her apps and apps data*

yea, whatever happens to the phone doesnt matter, its mine now, was just given to me. sadly idk what rom she was running, her sd card is MIA, and idk what OS she was running on. i highly doubt she would even know. so at this point after trying all the button combos, think a jig is the only option?
What happens if u pull the battery, replace it, leave phone off, phone must be off, connect usb end of cable to ur pc, hold both volume up and down together and then insert micro usb into phone ??
Download mode yes or no ?
If no see my sig below (if ur on a pc or in a web browser)...there are links there on how to make a Jig and/or where to buy a Jig.

Same story man. Probably gonna be jig is what it is looking like. Any ideas what cause this to happen? Ex. Not being able to enter recovery/download by using proper button combos?
Just a known issue on some Capivates. But the flash up to GB firmware is the fix for the button combos failin to work. Once u have the GB BLs ur button combos should work.
So once u get a jig, Odin or Heimdall up to KK4 with Bootloaders (heed all warnings about flashin BLs). Then u can Odin KK4 Corn Kernel and proceed where u wish.

Beauty! So that should wake it up. And from there I can reboot, find out what is it has then flash a new ROM after making sure recovery works and whatnot?
After the Stock kk4 flash it will have....Stock i897ucKK4 Gingerbread 2.3.5 Firmware.
So afterwards u will need to use Odin to flash the .tar file version of the KK4 Corn Kernel in order to get cwm recovery and go from there in the flashin of dev roms if u want.

Little precision: Odin one click is what you'll be using to flash KK4 (stock gb firmware). Odin 1.85 is what you'll need to flash Corn kernel (.tar is PDA slot).
Sounds great. Should be able to get it done today
well i built a jig using the three resistors from radioshack and a micro usb cable i found laying around. doesnt appear to be working...
ok, so i needed an actual samsung cord......plugged it into my computer and it started charging

Try holding volume up + volume down and then plug in the USB cord that is plugged into your PC. This should take you to download mode. If this doesn't help you will have to purchase a jig

Hi to everyone who's reading this.
I have got stuck with an Note GT-N7000 from a friend. It was running the original Samsung firmware and never flashed before. Now the device is stuck at the bootscreen.
If I press the Home+VolUp+Power, it just flashes the bootscreen (see IMG_20131006_212031.jpg) then the screen is black again and shortly after that the boot screen shows again. For comparison if I just press power then this short flash doesn't happen. But the same bootscreen is shown.
I have tried to flash PhilZ-cwm6 recovery, but Odin3 stops at "NAND Write Start" no error line or anything (see Odin3.jpg). After an reboot there was that yellow triangle indicating a modification of the firmware. But no change to the problem.
To provide as much info as possible I also attached a photo of the label below the battery (see IMG_20131006_211932.jpg).
The device is older than 2 years now, so there is now warranty.
The behavior is somehow similar to:

Ok, I tried the same procedure on my notebook using the cable from my Wonder with the same result. As I'm using the drivers that came with Windows Update, I have no kies installed anyways. I Tried to install the drivers from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997. But I think my system isn't using them.
Could that Microsoft provided drivers be the problem?
As the battery only has 3.1 volts with no change over several hours of charging and the phone doesn't enter the download mode anymore with a battery low error. I'll first try to replace it with a new one. Maybe that's that cause after all. I just hope the charging circuits aren't broken.

Ok, i got the new battery and I've got the windows drivers working. But still with the same result. Any other ideas?
Should i try a different Flash file?
I allready downloaded the an original firmware but i'm afraid to do even more damage, if I don't wipe data and cache. So I wanted to flash the recovery first.
Are there any other steps that i have to do first? Maybe i'm missing something.
Have you installed kies? If not, install that first. It will install all three required drivers. Then go to task manager and kill all process that relates to kies. Then reboot the phone into download mode and flash again. You can also try the firmware you downloaded using original Pit file with repartition.

I had no keys installed, but I did now. Unfortunately I think the drivers in mentioned before seam to be the same.
Meanwhile I also tried to flash the original firmware and a Gingerbread Firmware form that brick safe install thread. In comparison to the CWM there is no progress on the green bar, just 2 pixel. I thought that I might have not waited long enough, but for that CWM flash the bar was completed for at least 10 minutes.
As I Installed Kies now I saw that option that allows a firmware update through kies. But it doesn't seam to initialize the update, quite similar to the behavior Odin shows.
I don't' like messing around without a way to identify that I have the right set of drivers installed. I tried to find some information about the drivers through the forum search and Google, but so far with no result.
I attached the drivers I use. If you (or someone else) did this before and got a working configuration, would you be so kind and make some screenshots of the drivers you use?
The same game with the the USB-Cable, has someone a correct wiremap, that I could check? (obviously not easy for the mini-USB connector)
By PIT-File you mean the "Pit file for 16GB model" from this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 or just the checkbox Re-Partition? That's really the last thing I want to try now, because I know to less about internal structure of the device. If Re-Partition fails and the downloader (Power+VolDown+Home) is on that partition I might kill the last point I can modify this Note ATM.
Just something more i want to add: Odin doesn't show that blue progress bar. I never used Odin before, but i searched for the process on YouTube and i just guess that Odon mode on the Galaxy Note it should show that bar too.
Meanwhile I also tried to flash a Krenel zImage with heimdall (The Kernel zImage is linked from the recovery CM tells to use in the installation process with heimdall). As Heimdall brings it's own drivers and behaves similar, I would guess, that the drivers at not the problem anyways.
How did you flash the gb rom? You need to try a rom flash using odin. Yes I mean the 16 gb pit if you have the 16 gb note.
Do you have access to Cwm recovery?
---------- Post added at 02:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 AM ----------
Odin 3+ has a blue progress bar and old odin has green. When flashing firmware the download mode on phone also shows a green progress bar which is the indication of write.
When you connect the phone in download mode does your phone screen say "downloading"?

To flash GB I followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763151 to step 10.
The Phone was stock before it broke. I just hope i didn't confuse you. I tried several aproaches now.
All the roms i tried so far have been single file roms.
The 1st thing i did was trying to flash PhilZ-cwm6 recovery.
Then I replaced the battery, because odin download mode stated the battery is beeing low.
I repated the process with different versions of the drivers provided in this forum and by kies.
After that i tried different Firmware versions.
And finally i tried heimdall because it seams to be a good alternative to Odin.
Yes I am a bit confused. May be not because of your steps but too much to read..
Is recovery mode accessible? As your last post say Cwm recovery flash.
When the phone is in download mode, what's displayed on the screen?

Just throwing ideas out and sorry if you're already doing it...
I always run Odin as administrator.
I would personally start from scratch regarding drivers, delete kies and Samsung drivers, then go into device manager and check there aren't any remaining ms drivers. Reboot and reinstall kies, then shut down kies processes.
I always put the Odin folder on root of c.
The symptoms point to driver issues I think, that's where you usually see this kind of behaviour.
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
OK, I SuperBricked (no ODIN) it now. For others with the same symptomes, don't use Re-Partition. As I won't try it with JTAG maybe the device goes to eBay. Thanks to everyone and don't worry, it would have been broken anyways.
Maybe if someone is in the same situatuon: Try harder on different cable/drivers/os before using a Pit file.
