Captivate stuck on phone-!-computer screen, even with jig

So I was flashing a stock rom from Odin, and Odin froze, so I unplugged the phone and took out the battery. Now, when I try to get into download mode, all I get is a screen with a phone-!-computer. Even with a usb jig, it just goes to this screen. My captivate is also not recognized by the computer when I plug it in when its on the phone-!-computer screen.

Have you tried all the steps in the Captivate Connection Issues post (in my signature)?

Does it say something about hardware upgrade failure?

Nope. It just doesn't show up at all; not even in device manager and it just shows the phone exclamation computer screen.

Yea more or less. The weird thing is it was detected before and odin was able to start the flash. But it hung after it said do not disconnect the device so I was forced to unplug it. Now I just don't see anything at all.

Have you given Heimdall a try? It sometimes works when Odin won't.

Yep. When I try to install the heimdall driver, the phone doesn't even show up so it won't install.

But I don't see the Libusb tab in device manager when I plug my phone in.

When u initially installed the drivers for Heimdall, they only installed to the usb port that u were connected to. So u need to be plugged into that specific port and then u should see it in the Device Manager.
And u really don't need to uninstall the drivers that u need for Heimdall, as long as u installed them after u installed the drivers from Kies. See this post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19998299&postcount=115

Yep I made a jig and it works but it doesn't go to the downloading screen with the shovel instead it just goes to the screen with the phone exclamation computer.

Then try this...may sound odd but anyway--just pull ur battery and leave it out for 5 minutes or so and then put it back in and try getting back into download mode and see what happens.
Btw, which stock odin were u trying that got u in this mess ?

happened to my cappy yesterday. went through 7 hours to fix mine. had the same issue as yours. no download mode showing with any combo I try even recovery had 4 micro usb cables and still my pc is choosy. that screen is actually download mode. you just need the proper drivers for the pc to read it. I used the one from heimdall. tried for atleast 100x before my pc recognizes my cappy as gadget serial and then boom! after installing,uninstalling and reinstalling all is A-ok now. just try it and have faith on your cappy

What did you try before it was recognized? Did you just plug and replug the usb into the computer until it worked?

Mine did this before, when I accidently forgot to convert back to RFS before flashing back to stock, and I thought I was totally screwed. After this screen comes up the first time it will not go away, even if a download jig is used, until you get a good flash.
Try this:
Open your Odin, and have it ready with whatever you were trying to flash to begin with. Pull the battery on your phone, put your download jig in, and now put your battery in. It will still be the error screen that comes up. Pull your jig, and now plug your phone in. It should show on Odin now, and this flash should take correctly.

Also make sure the USB port you are using is a direct link to your board. I always use one of the original USB 2 ports on the back of my computer. Not using a USB hub either, but straight from the port to your phone.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S stuck on boot screen

Hi, i'm noob in Galaxy Flashing so this is my problem:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 blocked from italian carrier.
Few times ago i tried to enable 3-buttons download/recovery mode installing Aries_P-SBL.tar.md5 with Odin. The installation finished successfully but the download/recovery mode still didn't work.
After some reboots (where the phone worked right), now the phone stucks in the boot screen (the one with Galaxy S GT-I9000 SAMSUNG).
With the JIG i can enter download mode but my computer can't detect the phone (Windows feels my USB connection but Odin does not detect it).
If i connect the phone to the computer in normal mode (not in download mode, so with stuck screen), Kies can detect the phone but says that it can't talk with phone in this way(like if it was in USB Debug mode).
I Hope someone can help me

Restart your computer>>>Go to task manager and close all Kies applications (I usually have 2 Kies running from startup)>>>Start Odin and select all the files>>>Put your phone into download mode and connect>>>It should be detected now.
If it is still not detected, close odin, disconnect phone. Start Kies go to tools and install drivers. Once this is complete. Close Kies and start from the top of this post...restart...

Solution Is HEIMDALL.....
Here Comes your solution:
You can easily back your phone with Heimdall.
It's a flashtool which is more complicated than ODIN.
If interesting,simply PM me and we will do it.

I'm Here...
Well,first go to here:

Second: Download 7-zip PC software & extract your official md5 firmware to obtain several other files.
Third:Search the web for a Heimdall How-To(if you didn't find,I'll provide You links)
Last:You'll flash the firmware via Heimdall & again your peace of mind will be back.

Try to reflash your phone normaly with another Rom, it should work

he said download mode works but odin cant detect the phone .
Try reinstalling the samsung usb drivers and/or try from another pc and see if it shows the same thing (meaning nothing) .

Hi,
sorry but i tried all the ways, Odin and Heimdall.
I tried Odin on Windows and Heimdall on MacOSX but always they say
"Failed to detect compatible download-mode device."
I'm sure that phone is in download mode
May i install drivers on OSX with Heimdall?
I have not original samsung USB cable, but i think this is not a problem

Rooted my GT-I9000, and now it has crashed!
First off all my Galaxy I9000 was trying to software update via Kies, and it failed. The it would not start, but i managde to root it with a stock "VOD" rom.. But after a while i wantet to root it back to "Nordic Version"... But i could not do this, because the 3 button combo dont work on my Galaxy I9000 anymore.. :/ So there for i baought a USB JTAG, that puts it into download mode. So far, So good But when it is finished rooting, it fails to mount/unmount a bunch of stuff.. I have a picture of the screen, so that you guys can se what the problem is. I have tryed to root it with the same version that worked before, but it dont work. I have also tryed with som pit files, and so on... I give up, i need help with my Samsung Galaxy S - GT-i9000. Please help me out with this..

Getting Hopeless...?
1)For you to become sure,my Galaxy S Aka I9000 was exactly the same as yours and right now there is nothing wrong with that of course after flashing by HEIMDALL.
2)Remember,if your are going to do anything,Your first and your last key,is your HOPE so be so hopeful and let's start to get over this.
3)Download I9000 USB driver from here and simply install it on WINDOWS OS.
http://hotfile.com/dl/48893334/93383a1/I9000_USB_driver.rar.html
4)Before Using Heimdall, Enter it's folder and you'll see another sub folder called driver and you'll see just ONE executable program,run it and follow these instructions:
(I'll Shortly Provide You A How-to)
5)Enter Heimdall and follow these instructions:

generally no, but I recommend strongly to try another micro USB-Cable & another USB Port!

No one of these method does work for me,
any suggest?? my main problem is that the pc does not detect the phone when it's in download-mode. I know how to flash it, but there is not a program that can talk with it!

My dear friend, please note you should NEVER EVER WIPE on ICS, as it is a clear guaranteed BRICK.
Please press the THANKs button if this helped you.:cyclops:

Hope your issue has been resolved.
If not, here's something that worked for me when i was stuck at galaxy note logo.
i was not even able to get into recovery mode but i was able to get into download mode.
if your computer has the drivers installed for your note,
download and uinzip the attachment ADB-files.zip
Unzip the contents to a folder and hold down shift while right clicking with the mouse. You will get an option that says "Open command window here"
In that CMD window, give the command "adb reboot recovery" and voila, phone should force reboot to recovery.
If you get Error: Device not found. It means the drivers were not installed properly OR the pc is not detecting the phone properly.

Sorry but adb won't work unless the phone is detected properly by the computer.
Generally some drivers are installed in the pc with installation of kies. However when the phone is in recovery or download mode it is detected differently in the pc's device manager.
Are you able to get into download mode?
IF YES: Consider flashing a stock rom using odin

Did I download the correct ROM? (it was "Hongkong", when I am in the Philippines should I have downloaded a different country?)

If you have access to pc, install Kies on it and connect the phone. Check what it says. You may need to manually select the correct csc using the code *#272*IMEI#. This will wipe the phone. So make sure you make a backup of imp stuff.

I think I should've downloaded the ROM with the "DX" code in it (where Philippines country falls), instead of the "ZS" (Hongkong).. hence, I will first try what you mentioned. So there's no chance I could get my old contacts back eh?
btw, how can I "thank" you?

If you had synced it with Google or ever made a backup, you could restore it.
You could try the code. If there is no Philippines, the you can go to samfirmware.com and download the firmware you want. There's Philippines (Globe, Smart, Sun) firmwares. I don't know which is what but you may. You can flash the ICS rom directly using PC odin. Just be sure not to wipe or factory reset on stock ICS kernels.

[Q] S-5830L not recognized by PC

I'm trying to connect my S-5830L to my PC, and when I do, the phone charges, but there is no option to access mass storage.
It's recognized in Kies, I even update the phone with it, and a hidden removable disk appears when I connect the phone, yet I still can't access the storage.
I tried installing both the driving independently and via Kies.
There is no notification about it in the phone, and I have USB debugging turned on, and I also tried with it off
Anyone knows what I could be doing wrong?

Go to Recovery Mod and do a "Wipe Data/ Factory Reset" & "Wipe Cache Partition". That should pretty much solve the issue. But if the issue still exists, try flashing the stock rom using odin. Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin along with all firmwares,

I completely agree with @amtdwan. It's most probably the drivers that's causing the problem. Updating/ reinstalling it will solve it

I removed the ones that Windows install automatically, and reinstalled the Kies ones, but each time I connect the phone to my PC, Windows install the drivers again.
Is that a problem?
Also, the USB utilities setting is greyed out. And I can't seem to open the file explorer with Kies, it says "drive not valid".

So does "Turn on USB Storage" pop up now in your phone when you connect it to PC? Did you use the firmware from the site I mentioned? This problem could be caused if you have a faulty firmware. Also make sure you have a working sdcard. Sometimes faulty sdcard also cause such errors. Last but no the least, you can use the USBMassStorage app I developed. For it to work, you need a rooted phone. I'll provide you all the necessary link. Don't forget to read all the guidelines before using the app.

Hi all...I have a very big problem. when I plug my tab into my pc it recognizes it with no problem until I try it in download mode the I get a message saying that my usb port has malfunctioned. Then I switch back to any other mode and its connects again with no problem until. I don't know what to do. I'm 2.2 and rooted but just want to install cwm or twrp recovery, update to 2.3 gingerbread and maybe flash a Rom. I can't connect to odin or the other when in download mode but they recognize it in regular mode with no problem. Please any help will do.

Can you stop Kies?
Or uninstall it, and only install Samsung usb driver.

I don't have Kies anymore. I tried that a few weeks back trying to find a solution for this same problem.

I have most def tried that but no good. I'm stumped, I wish it was some way to install a recovery from my sdcard.

I guess you only have 3 (or 4) options to try:
- try heimdall
- try on another PC
- boot a livecd linux and and install heimdall on it.
(if you have a spare hard disk, just remove the current one, and stick a new disk and install a clean OS)

Sounds like I really only have 2 options
1. Try another computer because I've tried Heimdall and it's the same as Odin. It connects to both when in normal mode or even Samsungs recovery mode but when i put it in download mode, it's a no go.
2. Just stay on a rooted 2.2 (which sucks)

Are you using the original cable?
Heard of some issue with non original, but I have a non original that works for me.
Also,
- factory reset, then boot to download mode, start Odin on PC, then lastly, connect the tab
- or may worth going to Device Manager, uninstall the driver, and delete the device (not sure if that is doable, not in front of a Microsoft OS), then click the scan for changes again to let it detect.

Sounds like that factory reset option might work, I'm going to try that when I get home around 10:30. I'll let you know how it goes.

update.....well I tried the factory reset plan and it didn't work....In download mode I still get the same message stating that one of my usb ports have malfunctioned. I'm going to try it from another computer tomorrow.....hopefully the problem is with my computer and not the device.

I wonder if i can use adb to install cwm or twrp recovery......or if I can flash without being in download mode

Hi. I have similar problem like lordhavmercy. When I connect tablet with PC on download mode and start Odin there is no yellow COM field just blank white field. My PC recognize it as a Samsung USB Composite Device:

Tablet (P1000) are on 2.2 Froyo and I think it is rooted. Somewhere I have read that if there Superuser icon that means it is rooted. I have Superuser Icon and that aplication look like this:

Is anyone have solution?
