[Q] Can't boot

Hi guys,
i've got a problem here. I'm running Darky's 9.2 and it has suddenly stopped working. Pulled the phone of my pocket and it looked like it was booting, but it just kept booting. When i connect it to power it just displays the battery and the spinner for a few seconds and then the screen goes black again and the process repeats over and over. Just tried to connect it to Odin to go back to stock. I can go into download mode, but only for a few seconds. It won't stay in download mode. Any help?

try do a full reset in recovery.. then leave the battery out for 5-10 mins. then try download mode again

I can't get into recovery.
Volume up + home + power doesn't work.
I've left the battery out for over an hour. Still nothing...

same thing happend to me when i was on darkys 8.1 these thing happen when your using custom roms can you get in to download mode so you can reflash to stock rom

Only for a few seconds. After that it does the battery thing again.

Looks like you need the jig or to take it to a service centre but they may well charge as its out of warranty .
jje

The jig? Afraid so yeah

In the past I would get into recovery that way but now on custom rom I need to release the power button when the galaxy s logo appears. Maybe give that a try.

I did, doesn't work.
It also never really shuts down. It just keeps booting.
If i remove the battery and plug it back in after a while it automatically starts the loop again.

[Q] Odin3 not working

I had been using my Captivate for a while, and used Kies mini to upgrade to Froyo, and everything had been working fine until randomly the phone wouldn't boot.
It would take forever to go from the AT&T home screen, and would lag through the galaxy s intro, and then stop.
I tried to use Recovery mode, and it didn't work, so I tried to use Odin3 to flash back to stock.
Now it won't go past the Logo screen, and recovery mode doesn't work, but download mode still does. I have tried Odin one click, and Odin three click v 1.0, 1.3, and 1.7. I've used the .tar and the .pit from Breakin' Ranh's [Guide] How to Recover a Captivate to Stock 2.1 Eclair JH7
It keeps getting stuck in a boot loop after odin, no matter what I do.
Any suggestions?
Using SGH-i897
1007

first boot takes along time to build new files and delvik.. are you sure you waited long enough?
keep trying to get into recovery. try holding the buttons a little after the screen comes on.
factory wipe/ clear phone/

It keeps going to the AT&T logo screen for like 10 seconds, and then goes to the spinning wheel/battery charging screen, and then reboots.
Can't get into recovery mode through it, still.

a different .tar package.... dunno about that one..
or flash to 2.2 tar package

I have to use rom manager to get to recovery on my captivate

I was able to use a dragon rom to get it to boot, but now my phone wont give me any access to my internal sd card, and won't mount my external, so I can't download rom manager because I "have no room" Where do I go from here?
I've already tried formatting both cards, and it seems like nothing happens whenever I click on format.

you dont need rom manager....ever

Then what does he need?

stuck in the same position
I can get into download mode (only with a JIG tho) but when I go back to stock with Odin (or try to) it's just stuck in the AT & T logo screen, it doesn't go beyond that, how do I get into recovery mode, press both Volume buttons and Power button, when the AT&T screen comes release the Power button right?
Need some help please!

you might need to flash the 3 button fix but keep trying, if you get into recovery clear data and cache. but first boot always takes a long time as it has to build delvak cache and more... try flashing again, with the 3 button fix att rom.

3 button fix? to get into download mode you mean? I CAN get into download mode (with the jig) but not into recovery mode :-s
I have no idea how to flash it without being in the Stock rom, any help?

download is 2 buttons
recovery is 3 button.
some phones loose the 3 button combo to get into recovery.
in that case you need to flash the stock rom with 3 button fix.
it is for Att only so i dont know much more.

After Odin, I was in a boot loop yesterday. I plan on writing it up in a new thread to see if someone can help me understand what happened (cause I have Odined and modded two different cappys without issue) but here is how I was able to recover.
After Odin was complete and said successful, it reboots the phone.
Upon reboot I was in the ATT boot loop. After Odin, I lost both three button recovery and 2 button download (both of these worked before Odin). I don’t have a JIG so no way of getting to download mode.
I read to try the following sequence after reading it other posts.
1. Pull battery, sim, SD card and unplug the USB. Let it sit for a minute.
2. Plug in the USB cable.
3. Holding all three buttons, plug in the battery.
4. The battery charge (grey) should be seen on the phone. After the phone screen goes black twice let go of the power button.
This worked for me once, after several attempts.
Now that the phone booted back up, I did a master clear with Odin.
Upon reboot right back in to the ATT boot loop screen.
Was not having any luck with the steps above after several attempts.
Here is how I eventually recovered.
1. I opened Odin on the PC.
2. Pulled the battery and USB for a minute or two then replaced it and plugged in the USB cable.
3. After few cycles of black battery icon and spinning wheel, the batter icon turned green (like normal when you turn your phone off and plug it in). Sometimes this only took two cycles and sometimes many cycles (or a few minutes).
4. Once the battery icon was green, I hit the power button.
5. As soon as you see the ATT screen, pull the USB cable and the phone booted (if I left the USB plugged in, the phone went back to the black battery screen after the ATT screen).
6. I copied the correct Update.zip and Rom to my SD card.
From here I tried to boot into recovery via ADB.
The phone rebooted but back into the ATT boot loop.
Following the second set of steps above (2-3 times), I was finally able to get into Clockwork recovery.
From here I flashed Phoenix Unleashed.
After the flash rebooted and the phone seems to be running fine now (with the exception that I lost my 3 and 2 button combos, but that will be for a different thread).
From the Power Menu, I can get into download mode or Recovery no prob.
Not sure if this is something that will work for others but wanted to throw it out there just in case.

It never booted for me, so this is what I did
For anoyone that might find this thread, Odin 1 Click didn't work for me, so I flashed back into stock using Odin (not the 1 click version, another one), here are some links that proved to be very helpful (I ended up Flashing to Serependity 6.4):

[Bricked?] Infinite Boot Loop

Yesterday I attempted to flash back to stock with ODIN, but after the program said the operation was successfully completed I was left with a problem.
Now, whenever I attempt to turn on the device it hangs at the AT&T logo for about 10 seconds, the screen goes black, and this repeats indefinitely. And whenever I plug the device into any outlet there is the loading screen before it shows how much battery you have, but before it shows the green bar in the battery the screen goes black, and also repeats indefinitely.
I've tried all of the button combinations but cannot seem to get into download mode or even recovery mode.
There was one time where the device booted up, after about an hour of the AT&T logo flashing, but right after the phone booted up it shut down because it died.
Is there anyway I can get into download mode from this state?

You have a late build phone, you flashed Odin one click to 2.1, later builds phones just bootloop with 2.1, and those bootloaders trend to break the button combos.
You'll need a jig to force download mode.
there is a sticky at the top of the dev section with stock packages, I'd suggest grabbing a gingerbread packages with bootloaders, so your phone will boot up AND it'll fix your button combos.

If anyone wants to know, I was able to fix it quite easily, it just took a lot of patience and without a jig.
I first charged the phone for about 4 hours.
Then I turned the device on and let the AT&T logo flash until eventually the device turned on.
Since I was on 2.1 I was able to use the oneclick root application to root my phone. Amazingly it actually went into recovery and I was able to apply the update.zip.
Next I rebooted the phone and waited until it finally turned on again, from here I downloaded a command line application and was able to use that to force the device into download mode.
Finally, I used Heimdall oneclick and my phone was back to normal.

I need help lol after flashing in odin

Hi all, this is sadly my first thread in xda, sadly because two things: for being a help-ask thread and because the reason im posting it:
So i decided to flash the new ASIG firmware to my S10, and I don't know what went wrong because odin flashed all right. when i rebooted my device did the key combo to get into recovery mode but it didn't work. Can't pass from the first boot screen because it keeps rebooting
some info to feed your sugestions:
-i was rooted and running a custom rom (August securitypatch on BeyondRom)
-patched AP file in magisk
-ianmacd TWRP
I have tried to get it into download mode, recovery mode, normal OS, magisk boot.... nothing works it keeps rebooting. I remember the battery was like 60~70 % and have been like 7 hours and keeps rebooting.
Also i have tried to get it to boot in download mode waiting till screen goes black pressing voldown and bixby and catching the right moment to plug the cable in it and stops rebooting but doesn't boot either. If i press power button starts again rebooting and the same happen if i disconnect-reconnect or free-press any of the button combo even for one second...
so i have been tweaking my devices like 3 years and this is the first time i think i screwed up one, i always tought it was not possible (hope don't) but this time i think i made it
Do I? there is no fix?
i'm waiting to the phone gets fully discharged to see if powered off can i get it to boot into download mode and fla**** again
is there another way to get it to go into download mode? like old phones with the usb jig
it is a way to turn it off??
do you know what could be the reason to get in this state?
sorry for too much questions but i had a s7 edge before and i messed with it a lot, one day deactivated oem unlock, flashed wrong custom roms and broke it (software way) a lot of times and i always was able to get into download mode and fix it but this time i can't get it to work
so please help me and thanks for read and try to help (if anybody) lol r.r :crying::crying::crying:
FIXED
i'm happy to have been right, its hard to hard brick a device hehehe just after some minutes after (panic atack) post battery went out of energy pressed key combo comected cable to pc and booted un DM im sorprised because did not lost a byte of data

When the S9-S10 Starts bootlooping and won't go to DWNLD mode or Recovery, Just hold Power + Vol DWN + BIX for 5 seconds, release, repeat for ten seconds, release, Repeat,
After that the "upload mode" should appear. and you can just hold Power+Volume Down until the phone reboots. This time the keys will finally boot you into the desired mode...

Phone doesn't work for unknown reasons.

i need help, a few days ago my phone freezes, shuts down, and wont back up again.
i tried all button combinations and nothing seems to work at all,pressing volume up + down and power button only result on a red light flash once
This isn't the first time my phone freeze, last month i exprience a hard crash and a bootloop, but i flashed it through edl mode and it works again.
this time it wont even boot up at all,i hit a dead end.
i tried to use an edl cable but it still didnt work, the only way to access the edl mode is to short the test point inside the phone.
that method works, i manage to get in edl mode, reflash everything, but the phone still wont boot up.
also all the hardware is fine, i checked everything including the ufs and it works just fine.
but for some reason it wont charge at all on both the side, and the bottom port.
if i leave it for a while and then charge it, i get a blinkin red light for a while and then it stops flashing again.
if anyone can provide help i would be very thankfull
summary : i successfully flash the phone, but it wont boot up, and also wont charge for some reason. it still getting some current going in, but not much.
