[Q] Bootloop ? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! This is my first spot and Im sorry because its for ask questions.
My dear Captative i897, after I made a wipe data, wipe cache, et. When its rebooted, tried to enter on CWM, but never entered, and made a infinite cycle bootloop. Y cant read what screen shows, beacuse its so fast. Neither cant enter on download mode. I tried all of button combinations, and no solutions.
PD: Reboot is so fast, pc detect it few seconds.
What can I do?
I hope no JTAG. Its so hard find it on DR.
Thanks for your answers.

What ROM and what exactly you wiped in CWM?
Possible solution is to force the phone into Download Mode using a jig and flash Odin one-click stock ROM.

[Q] please help..my captivate is not working

hey guys .
I am a new user of samsung captivate ..and i flashed my rom from fasty iii v1.3 to dlev v5 rom ..
it installed successfully ..but aftr rebooting ,my phone is not starting ..plz help .i am very tnsd
Did u disable the lag fix that was with Fasty before flashing Dlev ?
Can u get into Recovery to do this now if u did not before. If so do it, then wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, then reflash the Dlev Rom.
And if all of that fails, can u get into download mode ? If so, U may have to Odin to a stock Gingerbread with no bootloaders.
i am sry but i didnt knw that i have to remove the lag fix..
but the prb is ..i cant get in download or recovery mode..whenevr i press the power button..it shows "at&t" .then "galaxy s " and this keeps on repeating ..i am unable to do anything
You can use the button combo to get into recovery or download. --- Pull the battery, replace it and cover, hold down both volume up and down and power at the same time and then release when you see the at&t screen. That should boot u into recovery if you have i897 gingerbread bootloaders. I9000 gingerbread bootloaders is volume up + power button to get into recovery. Volume down + power to get into download.
I897 gingerbread bootloaders for download is phone off, hold volume +/- and insert micro usb into phone with usb end already connected to computer.
thanks a lot sir ..i have got into recovery mode ..can u plz xplain me in detail ..wat to do now..
Use the volume +/- to navigate up and down in the recovery and power button to select. Is there a "Disable lagfix" ??
no there is no option like "disable lagfix".
these are the options
*reboot
*apply update from sd card
*wipe data
*wipe cache partition
*install zip from sd card
*backup and restore
*mounts and storage
*advanced
*voodoo
*power off
Select voodoo, then u should be taken to more choices. Voodoo is the lagfix.
ok sir ..i have disabled lagfix in the voodoo menu ..
now ,wat i hav to do ??
select wipe data, wipe cache, then go to advanced and then wipe dalvik cache, then try reinstalling the dlev rom.
thanks a lot ..i wil just do that
it worked ..thanks a lot sir ..i am so grateful to u for ur help
Glad to help and glad you got it going. Have a good night.
gudnite ..tk care
Cappy stuck in boot loop
I tried installing gingerbread boot-loaders and everything seemed to go smoothly. Except for the fact that my phone is stuck in boot loop at the AT&T screen. I bought a jig and was able to get into download mode. I tried flashing to stock with Odin but it does not do anything and is still stuck in boot loop. I would greatly appreciate any help that would get my phone working again.

Are you saying you successfully flashed stock back but its still looping?
It seemed to flash successfully but once it rebooted I thought it would make it past the AT&T logo but it did not.

[Q] Bricked Galaxy Mini

Hi, I live in Egypt for a while and I bought last month a Mini. Everything was going just fine, I was using Odin many times to try new roms, and CWM Recovery to give a try to custom roms, without problems. Yesterday morning I flashed my device with the 2.3.6 rom that I found on this forum, apparently made for Latin America. Since that moment, my mobile is on boot loop, i can't do anything, I only can access downloading mode, I tried to reflash gingerbread 2.3.4, and2.3.5, it goes well, Odin gives me the PASS message, but still my mobile is forever rebooting at Samsung logo. I can't access recovery.
What to do? Is it bricked and do I have to send it to Samsung Center or is there hope to fix it by myself?
Thank you for any help...
Yohan
u cant even enter recovery?if u can,just wipe cache and data..

Just remove the battery and stop your phone.
Put the battery in again.
Go to recovery mode by pressing Home + Power button at the same time.
In the reocevey choose wipe data/factory reset option.
Reboot your device after you are done.
You mobile will boot up fine.
Thank you for your answers but I wanna insists on a point: I can't access recovery at all, the phone show me the samsung logo for about half a second then restarts, and is looping in this state. No recovery, only downloading mode and RAMDUMP Mode (ARM9 mode) & Emergency Dload Mode (ARM9 Mode). Nothing else is avalaible.
Helppp

hey man i've already had that problem..coz i flash 2.3.6 and encountered same problem but i manage to fix it.. you need to enter recovery mode... Note: you need to hold the home & power button and wait for the samsung logo to flash TWICE (2X),when the 2nd logo flash, just realease the buttons and your on recovery mode.just wipe/ data reset.. right now im using Ginger bread 2.3.6JKVT and its rooted also.
No, I can't access recovery sorry.
Connect your phone to your laptop.
Use ADB
Type this :
adb shell reboot recovery
That will take you to download mode,then you can flash rom again. It would be easier if you have a CWM installed

If you can't access recovery either falsh CWM recovery or Flash another firmware from Download mode. If you want to flash CWM recovery just follow the link below for Galaxy Mini and search CWM recovery.
I tried many times, since i have this problem, to flash and reflash, official roms, CWR, but nothing works, setup goes fine according to Odin, but still have the problem on my phone, still only downloading mode works, and still a flashing screen, just during the samsung logo.
No one can help me with my mobile???

did you wait for the samsumg logo to flash tiwce while holding the combo key? you see when im installing firmware using odin my laptop turn off coz i dont have a battery i thought my mini was brick because the process was not finish,so what happen i tried to acces recovery mode its only shows a computer icon & phone icon. but i manage to fix the problem i go to download mode and flash again another firmware. and everything goes fine..so how come that you cant access recorvery...i would suggest that you flash a firmware with 4 parts not a single package.
just try this www*mediafire*com/?br3r8fod5g3vud4 flash this firmware with Odin this will surely work please replace * with . brace my post count is not enough to post outside link
As long as you can enter download mode... you are safe. If you can... just flash it back with Odin.
Follow this step

i had a same problem too.
my phone cannot power on, and ONLY download mode only working.
i flashed it for so many time too, and it doesn't seem to fix the problem.
so any fix on this ?
To ybregeon and Tre3,
I had the exact same issue, only Download Mode and RAM Dump, but could not enter recovery mode. Tried flashing many ROMs, oneclick unbrick, Heimdall recovery etc. but still no solutions available, I tried many-many tricks with no luck. So I went to Samsung Service Center, and it turned out that the problem is in the mainboard. It took me one night before Samsung replaced the mainboard from my phone and it's been working well since. All free of charge.
I hope your warranty is still valid. Good luck.

reflash the XXKPI/XXKPK 2.3.4 then flash the cmw, xxkpi and xxkpk is the safest stock gb rom to install
Flash odin and go to recovery mode and wipe.
It should work.

[Q] Stuck at Samsung logo after trying to upgrade my note to N7000XXLPY

Hello,
I wanted to update my Note to official german ICS (N7000XXLPY) using Odin. After going through th whole process:
extracting, wiping, putting in download mode, chosing N7000XXLPY in PDA and starting, it took some 5 to 8 minutes until odin finished with
"REMOVED!" and the phone restarted with new ICS boot animation.
Now it's stucked on SAMSUNG logo. I've tried to reboot a few times but nothing changes. ANy help would be apreciated.
Thanks,
BruXav
Sorry for posting my q on wrong place!!

Lol I answered you there and also said post in relevant thread, sorry
Thank you for your help and patience ;-)
When I do the combo home+power+volume down I can only volume up to enter downloading mode or cancel. I go to download but what to do next?
It says downloading...do not turn off target but nothing about factory reset.
Thank you so much!!!
Sorry I'm new here
I had same problem.. Boot into CWM, not download mode, and factory reset worked for me.

Thanks but how do you get in CWM mode if you can't get into the phone?
Any other button combo I don't know?
The only thing I ca do is reboot in download mode
CWM = Vol UP + Home + Power

Did you update this way to official ICS?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25947847&postcount=4
If you already did above, then try this:
0. Disconnect USB
1. Power off
2. Hold vol+ & home & power, let go of power once you see Samsung logo
3. You'll be in a special recovery mode. From here you can choose factory reset.

Yeah, I thought maybe you skipped something. I had CheckROM v6 on mine, it's was gingerbread rom. I did a PC Odin upgrade using the stock ICS, and everything was still there working. I did do another factory reset tonight from the settings and not in the recovery menu. Could it be a corrupted download of stock ICS? Some people were saying if you had a custom ICS before, this method won't work. Are you able to put back stock gingerbread?
I have this same problem. Cant get past samsung logo. I tried flashing several times, did factory reset, just wont work. I flashed using heimdall, not odin, would that make a difference?
Flashed back to 2.3.6, that works fine. Tried reflashing official ics, same problem, stuck at samsung logo. Factory reset in cwm does not work. Any ideas?
Hey buddy, I had the same problem tonight when I tried to restart my phone after a build.prop update - changing the wifi interval from 15 to 120... doh!
Got stuck at the boot screen and so out of desperation I decided to wipe, it didnt work. I was still stuck.
So I flashed XXLC1 (Open Euro) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 with PC Odin and it came back ok . I lost root though but thats no biggie, at least I have a working phone now.
Hope that helps you. Good Luck!

Need help hard resetting my phone

So the here's the first part of the story...
Here goes: I flashed a ROM but forgot to do a complete factory reset. Now the phone hangs at the Samsung logo. I couldn't enter Recovery nor Download mode even when the phone was good, because it didn't respond to the button combinations. I managed to make an USB Jig and can enter Download mode now, but I'm afraid that flashing another firmware without wiping just won't solve the problem.
Is ther any way to do a factory reset/full wipe from download mode or any other way without using the Android or recovery?
Thanks guys!

Last problem is factory reset to you. Flash JB and see if you get recovery. I do not think that there is possibility for factory reset without entering system or recovery.

Souds bad. The thing is, that I couldn't enter recovery/download even when it was running stock GB. After I flashed JB my phone hanged on Samsung logo.

What you did before, when it was normal with recovery/download mode?
Kernel and recovery are on the same partition, so it might be that it was corrupted somehow. So factory reset won't help you if you do not have working kernel.
