Do you have to root your captivate use the odin?
No. You just have to put it in download mode and flash.
how do you put it in download mode?
If you're lucky this will work:
1.OPEN ODIN FIRST
2. Turn off your phone
3. Plug in the usb cable to the computer, not the phone
4. Hold down both volume buttons and plug in the usb cable to the phone
5. If you get a yellow triangle and an android with a shovel, then click start. If you get a battery, then close odin and unplug and come back and tell me.
6. If you got the triangle in step 5, then just wait about 15 minutes after clicking start, until the box in the top left turns green and says "pass". Then you'll have froyo.
i did it all and nothing happened it just stayed on the download screen
OK Can you load Cognition over the 2.2 Beta or should we go back to JH6,,,,or from JH7
I noticed therer are a lot more "windows" in the Odin Cognition DL What do you do with them PDA/Phone etc and the corresponding files.

You can just flash it over. You click on the "pda" button and select the pda.tar file you downloaded and the same with the phone and csc and pit

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797282 this is the one for Froyo. Make sure Odin is started before you plug in your phone and go into download mode. Also, are you on Stock 2.1 with no mods, if you have made modes to your phone you must flash stock first with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989. Then flash the Odin 3 with Froyo. If you have a lagfix installed I siggest you do a master clear because Odin dosen't like lagfix's, that could be causing your issue. Bakcup everything from your internal sd before doing master clear because everything will be wiped.

I upgraded from 2.2 to 2.3. But the system seemed unstable. So I decided to downgraded it to 2.1, by using the "one click odin", but it has been unrooted. I tried everything but couldn't root the system, thus I decided to directly flash the kernel. When it freezed, I unpluged the USB and then it happened.
Do I still have the change to save it?

Michael, check the build number of your phone (look at the sticker that lives under the phone's battery). If it's anything past 1010 (and in some cases, 1008), ODIN 1-Click will not work. You'll need to find and download ODIN3 and the proper .PDA and .PIT files.
You will, however, still need ODIN 1-click to do a Master Clear of the phone, so don't get rid of it.

After the captivate was unrooted, I could do nothing to root it again. Although after reinstall packages, I saw the "superxxxx"(sorry forgot the name), I still couldn't install apps from third-party.
I followed the video in this thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978150" completely to flash my cell, I didn't understand why he told to replace a .tar with a .zip, so I was totally lost, but it worked.

I believe you do need to repartition, as the ICS builds use an MTD file scheme, and rewriting that would be part of the process.
The Phone--/!\--PC screen should work the same as download mode.
And, as b-eock mentioned above, make sure you're running Odin as an administrator.

Nope. Look in the one-clicks thread in the development section for a Heimdall one-click. It will set itself up on your Windows machine and do all the same flashing stuff that Odin can do.

Is it safe to say that I'm pretty much screwed and take it to an ATT store and say this happened while I was upgrading to gingerbread?
I tried a GB one-click and now a puple screen? WTF is going on!
Have you rebooted the computer since running the installation? Try that first. Sometimes a reboot will pick up the changes you've made.
By the way, with Heimdall you'll need to pay attention to what USB port you have the phone plugged into. Heimdall associates itself with one port at a time (the port the phone was attached to when you ran the installer).
HOLY CRAP!!!! that GB one click gave me download mode back
But its not accepting anything, it connects to the computer but then sits at setup_connection
OK it looks like its gonna work!!!!!!!!!!!

Heimdall saved me a couple of times but remember that, since it uses a different set of usb drivers, you may end up with some difficulty with Odin later on due to the different drivers.
If Heimdall does work and you computer has difficulty with Odin, Apex makes a Heimdall package with CWM so you can go from there. I am back on Slim ICS now.

Try Heimdall one more time, but this time, grab one of the bootloader packages. It sounds like there's a mismatch between your bootloaders and your rom (e.g. froyo bootloaders and gb rom).
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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
My wife was gonna install the latest update (Lollipop) today and her phone was encrypted and so she decrypted it to prepare it for installation. At 85% the phone said that it failed and that she had to do a factory reset and so she did but now it seems the bootloader or something messed up. I've tried flashing it with Odin and with the PIT file but with no success. I could really use some help here buddies...
I attached some pictures of what I see when I try to flash it in Odin and what it looks like in recovery.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

You tried flashing the boot loader thru Odin am I right? Did you try flashing the whole Firmware thru Odin? Did you put the phone on Download mode? Remember to take the battery out then boot to download mode by pressing and holding volume down+home+power button for about 3 seconds then let them go, phone will boot into Download mode, the connect your phone to pc, then Open Odin, make sure the Odin :COM is on light blue meaning they are both communicating, then go to www.sammobile.com and download the latest firmware for your device model, and follow the instructions, it have to work, but your phone will be restored to factory, good luck, cheers:fingers-crossed:

Hey there friend (thanks for replying),
I tried pretty much all of what you wrote and it just says failed. I have not tried to flash the bootloader thru Odin only the firmware that I got off of sammobile... I'm at a loss not sure what to do I've never seen this before.

Are you sure you checked everything? try from a scratch, make sure you download the firmware for your device model, a lot of users get confuse with the bunch of letters after N910... also try a different Odin like 3.09, remember to check what I told you before in Odin, also if you wanna give a try, try flashing an old kitkat firmware, all we need is to boot your phone, good cheers:fingers-crossed:

Hey just to let u know I was reading too about ur problem, this is what I found, you gonna uninstall Samsung drivers from ur pc, under control panel, and reinstall them, or let windows search for the drivers it will install them too, after you do all that, try again flashing via Odin, remember to follow all the steps, good luck, cheers:fingers-crossed:

Tried it. Thanks for your helps so far. I'm beat I've been at it all day. Gonna give it a go again tomorrow. Thanks again man.
It may be stupid question but did you flash 3 files ROM or just one file (PDA if I remember well)? If it was second option, then you shouldn't use PIT.

Just one file via AP in Odin.
Why don't you just download KIES and run recovery through that it is much more simple and reliable

Kies doesn't register it... it just says connecting. I tried to kies 3 and 2.6 just to make sure.
It sounds like the issue is with your USB cable maybe try a different USB port preferred in the back of the system not one upfront. Make sure you have mock locations and USB debugging on. The only reason keys wouldn't detect your device is if the drivers are incorrect
There's a feature "Reactivation Lock" in security settings. Make sure it is unchecked. It is a security feature to prevent anyone from changing your system Rom.
