I just bought my Samsung Captivate about 3 weeks ago and my friend updated it to froyo 2.2. Loved it nothing wrong with it untill last night. I pressed the unlock button on the side and when i went to slide it to unlock it it would not work. I took the battery out and tried again and it did nothing. I looked it up and i think my best bet is too download odin3 and restore it to stock. I absolutely no nothing about phones. Please help me! I need my phone to help tune my truck.
Thanks, Abel
This goes in the Q & A section, not android development. And to answer your question thoroughly more information is needed about what your running.
Oh Boy where does one begin.........
Sorry. I am new to this. But as far as i know it is a samsung captivate. lol. But now all it does is go to the "AT&T screen and it says world phone" and does nothing else.

If its just stuck in a boot loop then you def need to flash back to stock. Check out this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Bad thing is i have mac ( and its pissing me off becaus i cant use it. I am going to have to wait for tonight i guess.
Wait, you use a Mac, you know nothing about phones, and you let someone else update your phone to a totally unsupported operating system? I'm not sure if you realize this, but in doing that, you just let your friend void your warranty.
Friend, here is how forums work: you spend 99% of your time reading and if you don't understand something then you ask. As silverslotcar so kindly pointed out, you should start by reading this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 and all of the other stickies in this Captivate Android Development forum. THEN you let your friend mod your phone so at least you have some idea of what is going on.
Good luck reading the forums!
I'll help........find a new friend!

my phone is doing this same thing and i have no clue what to do. i dont understand any of these abbreviations and im tired of using my razor lol. i have a at&t captivate with version 2.2 on it. nothing else. a while back, the touch screen on my phone would stop working. display was fine but the touch wasn't. i would take the battery out, reboot and it would be fine for a day. then, it started happening sooner, and now i turn it on and it stays on the at&t world screen. i have been searching now for 2 hours and i dont understand any of this. i just want my phone back to stock. please help!

Really?
suggesting someone break their phone and have to pay for a replacent to fix a software issue that can be done for free with a little bit of reading. Why bother even posting that?

If you're only wanting to go to Android 2.2 (Froyo), your only option in that thread is AdamOutler's UCKB2 Froyo 2.2 Heimdall One-click.

There is no such thing... only root and no root. This is because Heimdall requires one flash without BLs then you can reflash with BLs, no reason to have two different ones...

Not entirely sure but can you get into the 3 button download mode? (Guide in general section). Also posting in the dev section will not help as that section is for developers not for questions about phone problems.

The heat trick is a legend...made by ppl who actually have not really bricked or semi-bricked their phones (just a lucky coincidence). He'll only manage to kill his phone for real.

I seem to be getting that impression too. on a worse case with any of my HTC phones i ever had i could do something to get it working. and i have had some **** ups happen. this was a stupid mistake and im sure on a forum where we have oms posted for both i cant be the first person to click the wrong one as im getting the idea they are simular but hey its a brick now. so carphonewarehouse i go. and just hope they cant switch it on and see the at&t screen lmao.
I had a similar result a couple of weeks back after trying to flash hardcore's speedmod kernel CWM version in Odin - not very sensible...
Couldn't get into download mode at all. After panicking for a couple of hours, I removed the battery for 2 hours, reinserted it and all was good - i.e., got download mode back.
Worth a try, you're not going to make it any worse. Hopefully... Good luck.

hye,im just flashing my tab yesterday with overcome rom.then i started with odin after it finished odin shows FAILED! then my phone turned off automatically leave the screen blanked.now i can't do anything to the phone even if want to enter the downloading mode.there is nothing i can do and just leave the screen blank.is there any help for me?i'm seriously pissed off.please help me.
sorry but 50 viewers and still no help?
Did you do a backup beforehand? If so, restore it. If not, i would get another Rom and try again.
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA Premium App
no i didnt have any backup.what do u mean by getting another rom?im stuck with the blank screen and can't do nothing now.
Try shuttig it off, charging the battery, put in download mode (even if you only see a black screen some people have reported they can flash) and install your stock or another rom. If this doesn't work, you're screwed...
If you didn't check and see if you had locked bootloaders then this may have caused the fail in ODIN...

There is plenty of help if you look for it. People tend to get sick of repeating themselves so its best to read the topics that have already been created on this exact issue.
Using search function and searching topic titles for "bricked" will give you plenty of help.

It kind of sad tho cause the search feature works perfectly. If ya guys google it it will show you many other sites that you can find info maybe apk.

I have a hacked 5.0 version I got about a year ago or so. No ads and unlimited skips. I sold my Note 3 when I got the 4, and thus lost my hacked Pandora...until I remembered I had emailed it to a friend shortly after I got it. I hit up my gmail, searched, and there she was! It works fine on my Note 4.
The rules were explained and even then someone decided to reply.

I was trying to find a stock firmware for my device, which I found, but then I was thinking.
Wouldn't it be easier if there was a 'piratebay' for everything Android? What I mean is, rather than downloading say a custom rom from a central server. wouldn't it be cheaper and faster to download in a peer to peer fashion?
I was also thinking that there needs to be a central repository for all custom roms and firmwares. Otherwise, it hard to find what you need. At least in terms of stock firmwares.
Has it been done?
I don't think it been done and I really would be to afraid to open myself up to hackers and viruses

Right, but one of the ways that happens is when someone downloads a song for example and along with that song is another file that when clicked on allows you(hacker, master etc) to see what those people are doing on their computer along with turning on their webcam and seeing and hearing what they are doing.
It usually only happens on windows desktops as far as I know.
I haven't done this I have just briefly read about it.

So you want a torrent site for Roms and things.
Good idea, I wouldn't mind.
It's not bad as it is now, but it's an idea.
Then again, if people don't even know how to download with MEGA then I would hate to explain torrents to them.
