Can you get into download mode?

What rom were you trying to flash? And what version of Odin were you using?

That happened to me...kind of like a snow screen but multi colored???
The problem was that the kernel was not compatible with the rom.
I was able to get mine into DL mode with a jig I made and re flashed a verified compatible kernel and all was well.

Its not bricked you just need to boot into download mode and use odin one click back to stock or flash the right kernel
Sent from my Captivate

I had this happen last month also, it was a bad flash going from Stock 2.2 to Continuum I think. Culprit was a cheap cable, so look out for that next time. Built a jig from the connector of the cable and all was well in Cappy-land.

You are not bricked.
If you can't get into download mode via buttons, build the jig.
it's really easier then it looks (it looked intimidating at first).
And once you do it successfully you will feel better about yourself.
it may take a few tries specially if you don't follow the instructions correctly

flash again and wait.
I had to wait more than 15mins for the first boot ....then it came out and booted into the tablet.

I'll try it and now, but I waited over 20 minutes and nothing.

I think you should redownload and try the tar again. I'm sprint and have dne mine several times no issues.

Maybe if you listed what you were trying to flash we could be of more help.. You could have a bad kernel flash, or just need to reboot back into recovery and do a data and cache wipe.. Theres a number of things..
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App

You need to post -
1. What rom.
2. GSM or CDMA.
3. Steps done.
It also helps if you have a copy of your stock rom in case a restock is needed...

It P1000 is a GSM GT. I do not know what the firmware was in it at first but I did update via Kies 2.3.3 Then the stock is in tablet Backup blocked. Then I tried with almost all European firmware with samfirmware site and no I did not succeed. Odin sends me the message that the system is successfully upgraded, but at startup I get a message that is not mount E disk and then stuck in samsung blinked screen.
I do not have copy of my stock rom unfortunately.
That's about all I know about the problem.

[Q] Galaxy note stuck on Samsung logo. Cant enter recovery!

Hello guys. I just upgraded Samsung note n7000 to stock ics rom. I rooted it and all was fine. I wanted to try stunner ics rom so I went to recovery mode and then entered cwm. As soon as I pressed wipe date, it got stuck and now I can't even get into recovery mode. Phone either stuck on Samsung logo or if I try to enter recovery by pressing vol up + home + power, it shows android bot with blue wheel rotating and it keep rotating then again goes to Samsung logo after several minutes. Please advise what to do. I'm new to all this.

If you can get into download mode, Vol down Home and Power, use PC Odin to flash any of stock ROMs and start all over again..
Try flashing GB ROMs first as you are new.. ics roms are not safe ATM..

Ouch. Apologies in advance.. did you not read this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633943 It sounds like a hard brick. Situations like this should make everyone realise why mods and devs continually drum into users the importance of searching threads and reading stickies.

OMG !! Why did you "WIPE" ?????????
Anyhow...
Try to use ODIN to Get u back to GB. You can flash a Pit file as a last resort. Please go through the numerous threads on ICS and its Risks before flashing.

I fear this might be another one in the long line of Superbricks.

My friend had juz successfully overcome the stuck at " NAND Write stuck" in PC odin while flashing the lp1 leak repack...
What we did was to change a different usb port... provided u r still able to go into download mode..
We successed into bringing it back to life...
I hope it mayb some help.. no harm trying though...
Noted From My G.NOTE Using XDA Premium

Yes,its totally hardbrick. The eMMC cant be read while it boot,thats why you stuck in samsung galaxy note logo.. Bring it to sevice centre,and just wish they change your machine. I've experienced it when I was using galaxy s2, fortunatly they put it on guarentee and they change my machine.

Another hardbrick!? I think yes. F***, I feel sad for all of those who are bricking their devices.
I am afraid you have to send it to Samsung. They shall replace the mainboard.

welcome to *superbrick club*.
one solution is to join the *go-to-samsung-center-and-get-replacement-under-warranty club*

I know a dev(name not to be disclosed) who have recovered from a superbrick (and yeah I'm sure a superbrick) by making a custom kernel.I can let let the info out if any real and very talented kernel dev can make a kernel.I'm not trolling guys....Its real.

But I'm able to go to downloading mode and when i put it on charge, it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
Does it still mean I hard bricked the device?

Unfortunately, yes.
You can try to flash a stock GB Rom from Download Mode using PC Odin, but your
flash will fail. We have seen it so many times before...
However, there's no harm in trying, so go for it, maybe you prove to be an exception.

warranty?
if i connect my phone to charger, it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies. but kies detects the phone bnut keeps saying connecting....
i am able to go to downloading mode which says
custom binary download:no
current binary: official
i have tried to put stock rom using pc odin but it gets stuck at nand write start.
is there a way out here?
if not, will samsung honour the warranty?
thanks.

Whether Sammy will honor the warranty? I guess it depends on your local service centre.

i had the same problem. i wiped cache and data. problem solved.

Yes they will honor the warranty. give an excuse that you got a notification for upgrade to ICS and then your phone wont boot.
all the best

Trying to revert to stock, but it freezes up after the first the screen shuts off.

Hey everyone, I've tried a couple "stock roms" to try and get my captivate back to normal. At first glance they seem to work fine, everything goes accordingly, and the device boots. You can unlock the screen, scroll through the applications, do pretty much anything.
But the first time the screen is shut off, either by it timing out or by using the power button, when it comes back the device is completely unresponsive. The power button will only serve to turn the screen ON, it has to time out for it to shut back off. The unlock screen appears but you cannot unlock it, it's like you aren't doing anything.
It's not frozen because the time keeps up, and if you push a soft-button they will light up but that's it. The "emergency call" button does not work. Completely unresponsive.
If I reboot the phone it starts all over. It'll be fine until the first time the screen shuts off.
I've tried both the:
I897UCJF6 Android 2.1 Eclair via ODIN and
I897UCKB2 Android 2.2 Froyo via Heimdall
Both with the exact same results. Am I missing something here?
Thanks folks.

Try upgrading to Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread i897ucKK4 --- Go here ... Stock i897ucKK4 . Flash one with the gb bootloaders if u don't have them. This will get u to the full kk4 firmware.

[Q] HELP!! Captivate Stuck on AT&T Boot Screen After ClockWorkMod Install

[Solved!]
Hey everyone!
I followed the Cyanogenmod guide from cm's website on how to install cm 10 on rooted att captivate from android 2.2 froyo.
I followed the guide exactly up to installing cwm recovery via heimdall on a windows 7 (heimdall wouldn't work on an xp I have so I switched to my 7) and everything worked as it said it would, however after finishing and getting the blue bar on the download mode screen, I held the vol up/down and pwr keys per the guide and the phone went to the att logo screen that it shows when you first turn it on and it just flashes that screen.
I can get into download mode still but it won't go into the options screen to hard reset or use cwm recovery.
I rooted it using the superoneclick method and I backedup with titanium.
I haven't been able to find anyone on xda or any other site with the same problem as me (everyone with a similar problem had a different version of android or something so I was afraid to try the solutions given for them.)
Please Help!! Thank you so much in advance!!

Thanks, I tried getting into recovery mode using the guide on that thread but no luck. I haven't gotten to try the first guide suggested yet so when I have time I'll try that. Thankfully I can get into download mode fine.

Here is the last Stock Firmware released, i897ucKK4 Gingerbread 2.3.5, if ya wanna flash it instead.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3 ...Since ya can get in Download mode.
Flashin to KK4 with the Bootloaders included (if u don't already have them) has solved the button combo problems for others who were not able to get into recovery, etc.
Heed all warnings about flashin bootloaders. It only takes a few seconds to flash the boot.bin and sbl.bin, but ya don't wanna interupt the flash durin that process, i.e. loose power, accidently disconnect micro usb/usb cable, etc.
Once ya have the gb boots, there is no need to flash bootloaders again.

How long should/could it take Odin to detect/recognize my captivate? I couldn't wait to try the KK4 flash, but I've waited for about 10 minutes and it's not showing anything in Odin.:\

It should only take a few seconds.
See that Captivate - PC Connection Issues...thread i linked u to in my reply a few posts up.

Well I've been up all night lol but I got everything to work!! I guess it all just clicked with me and I understood and found all the answers in threads. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Your link and Odin one click worked perfect. I think I had a problem with the drivers, that's why it wouldn't detect it. I read in another thread it could be that and I tried reinstalling the Samsung drivers but no luck. So I just switched to my windows xp where I'd never used heimdall drivers(I was on my windows 7) and did it on there, worked perfectly! I then went on to reinstall cwm and then cm 10.1.2 and I love it! Now I'm waiting for the Google play store .zip to download so I can flash it onto my i897! THANKS AGAIN!!! :thumbup:
