Ok so this will be my second post, no one replied to my first.
Will try to explain what the problem is. in as much detail as I can.
Please help me out guys !
So, tab was in debug mode, messed up using odin, trying to root, not sure what went wrong there and gave up.
Rest of the day tab worked fine.
During the night it was not turned off but left on charger, icon showing.
I listen to audio book while falling asleep
When I woke up, pressed on and nothing, black screen
Panic and frustration followed.
New charge cable, black screen
Searched internet, did the button combo's , took back off, disconnected battery, drained battery, still black screen.
Disconnected all cables inside, reconnected, black screen
Conncted to win7 pc, by holding down power and vol down, pc sees unknown device in APX mode.
Installed various drivers, all I could find that might work, installed and seen in device manager.
Followed nvflash guides, get an error usb write failed.
List devices command, nothing appears.
Installed Samsung Kies. cant connect , using different drivers also.
Odin cant see the device either. Pdanet installed, same outcome.
Also the sdk route, always no device found
I havent got new battery yet, cant afford one at the moment.
With everything I tried it always comes down to device not being seen even though it does appear in device manager.
Installed usbdevieuw software , check the properties, it does say 0mA , which is different to when I check my usb keyboard or mouse, they do have power 90mA etc. which is weird.
I have read and tried just about everything concerning my specific device. I am stuck.
No idea what to try next.
I understood that apx = download mode., which would be fine if I could see something on the tab screen. I know that normally when into download mode you have to use vol up to cross over to the right icon.
So, power + vol down... wait till its in device manager on pc, then vol up. Tried this, seeing as the screen is black I just waited a bit and then vol up, guess work actually.
Anyway, if someone has any ideas etc please let me know.
Thank You All
Try This

This same thing happened to me a while back...I used a program called Root With Restore by Bin4ry v18. Look it up, I think it might help you.

Thank you !! for responding. I did as you suggested, Its cool software.
that being said, no matter what option I choose I get The system cannot find the path specified. To me that means that the tablet cannot be entered even though it does show up in device manager samsung android phone> android adb interface.
I mailed samsung help desk and got a reply saying, take it to your nearest samsung repair store. .. THEY can fix it......as I expected they would say.
Im still wondering if the battery is causing the problems. As screen is black, when on charger stays black.
However if the tab is seen on my pc, does this mean tab has power?????
I have no idea how to test the battery without replacing it.
Im guessing tab is fully bricked and if so would that explain the no battery charging icon??? and lack of any other screens lol :laugh:
Anyway, I have learnt so much from reading this forum. I admire the great work and assistence provided.
Guess my tab problem is either too easy to provide a fix for or hardly no one has a clue how to fix my tab :silly:
Please respond and help me out!!!

Hi all,
I was flashing between Jf6 and JH7 today, wanted to see if flashing JH7 via different methods would give me a 3 button fix. (If it did fix it then flashing via Kies mini didn't do the job)
Ironically it backfired when Odin froze and I flipped out the battery
(Hey, I've been at the dl screen before when it was doing nothing and it survived!)
I plug the USB in, I get the exclamation screen
Do it with volume keys pressed, still get it
Hold down the volume + power and the screen goes blinking between exclamation and blank. I've tried releasing power keys at each point in those screens
I even took a video incase I'm not doing it right. Odin is running in the background. No USB plug-in 'pings' from Windows, as you can hear.
Anything I can do?
btw my bat build date is 8/13.. that bad week
I'm in Australia (bought phone off ebay) so sending it back to the States will be a bit of trouble.. I'm hoping I can work something out with the ebay seller otherwise I'll buy another cappy and hope someone finds the jtag points I guess.
same here. no button combo method that previous worked is working now. :/
OP, did you see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775911
not working for me, but maybe it'll help you ... ?

You may also want to try removing and then reinstalling the Samsung USB drivers on your PC.
I've verified there is simply no USB device being registered no matter what OS, the phone is just sucking power.
@The_Bishop: Did see that, exactly the same as yours, plug usb in, get that screen
Anyone want to be awesome and send my Capppy back to Samsung on my behalf?
best method that never dies when i was in your situation......
unplug usb, turn phone off, then put battery in, turn odin on, now hold volume buttons ONLY then insert usb in phone, you will see download mode with odin identifying the port;
hope it worked ?!?!?!?
Believe me I have tried everything. There is simply was and still is no way to enter recovery or download mode on this phone. Its hardware locked!
a little off topic, but how do i find my phones "bat build date" ?
I had the exact same problem. If you do a battery pull.. hold down both volume buttons and plug the usb cable into the phone while it's hooked to PC then it bumps you into Download mode. I did the exact same thing you did and am running froyo at the moment.
Oh.. no power button.. just both volume buttons.

Is on the underside of the battery, one facing into the slot.

Done that. Exactly what happens in video. Both volume buttons down, plug in usb.. no response, just brick screen.
I had the same problem.. the phone didn't register USB.. have you rebooted the computer? I believe i did that at one point.

I did try once or twice. From another thread it was also said to disable driver verification on windows startup for x64 machines. which I also did.
Basically I want to hear from someone who:
a) has a captivate that could never enter dl/rescue via buttons, only adb
b) captivate didn't trigger a plug in 'ping' from Windows until they ??
FYI this is a Macbook Pro, and I booted into Win7 x64 Pro for flashing.
Hi I have the same problem..
What I did was this rooted with one click.. loaded Cognition 2.1.6 all was good..I saw the froyo so I thought lets try it. so opened up ODIN put it in recovery mode. with ADB could never get it in the button way.. it started to load and it froze. I didn't disable voodoo and IS THAT WHY I AM STUCK? I have tried every combo changed drivers computer will not see the phone.. is it a AT&T Phone
IS there anyway to fix it?? or can someone make a program to fix this? I would make a big donation if they did!!!
Thanks Forum!!
Yeah I had it in adb mode to enter download mode, maybe that is why it won't start back up.
I've now given the phone to a local mobile repair business, if riffbox or someone comes out with a Captivate rescue soon its probably as a end result of me
I sent mine back to Samsung as well. BTW, I have a battery from 2010.08.12 so I might be in the same boat. Wish I'd have used one of my OEMs to see if that made any difference, but I did not. :/
I have the same issue.
Rooted my phone through adb, which was fine. Couldn't get into recovery/download modes with hardware before then.
Now my phone is bricked, and not detected or even charging via USB.
wtf
If the repair shop cant fix it try this:
1.) Remove Battery, SIM Card and External SD
OR
2.) Press and HOLD VOL UP AND DOWN with USB inserted and THEN slap in the battery.
This worked for me, for some reason inserting the battery last did the trick.
Let me know if anyone finds a solution to this I have tried it all and my computer will not detect my phone. Has Samsung blocked this in there firmware?
Did you try what I posted above?
yep nothing if I could get it to detect in command prompt I could force it but it won't... the button thing didn't even work when the phone worked!
So ....
After my first update the phone is dead, I have my htc inc s for one
week(I think it was android 2.3.3 and it worked fine yesterday I got
update notification I've downloaded it and then the phone shutted down
and started with the dark screen with the green arrows in circle and
one inside facing down symbol and it stayed like that forever!I took
battery out and put back press power and its the same symbol! The phone
is from china got it from ebay and if I need to send it back for fixing
it will take a lot of time to come back!
So I tried battery out back in, volume down + pover the same green
arrow symbol,like this when plugged in my pc doesnt do nothing,after I
tried battery out than in, volume up + power and I got 3 vibes, orange
light and black screen, when plugged to my pc i says "qualcom CDMA
technologies MSM" device and it searches for drivers!
I dont believe that its possible to brick my device with the first
update that I got from the mobile network and I never touched nothing
like rooting or messing with my phone...
So what can I do now to fix it without losing my waranty and having
everything like it was before stock and working???
PLEASE HELP PLEASE HELP!!!

I have no idea what volume up+power does, nor do I understand half of what you are saying but ill try and help anyways...
download HTC Sync. Download SDK and ADB files from google. then save the files in a place ull remember. Download HTC Sync too (I forget if you actually need it but download it anyways because you need it for USB Drivers). When you are finished download of SDK, go into the folder sdk/platform-tools. Shift+right mouse click and then select "Open Command Window here." Back to your phone, boot into bootloader (Volume DOWN + Power button) and select fasboot (if u dont know how to navigate in bootlaoder, search it up). On your computer in command window type in fastboot devices and it should list your device serial number (if u dont know it dont worry, it should start with something like HT and then numbers and stuff like that). If your computer recognizes the deivce, then proceed and type "fastboot getvar all" Paste what u read here or screenshot, whatever, just see that its here IN THIS THREAD.

I will try to explain better... My htc brand new never rooted never played with, after 4-5 days of using (everything worked great) got
the first OTA update, shutted down and then started with the green update sign on the screen, it stayed like this forever, so I took the battery out and put it back and tried to go to the boot menu (volume down + power button) it does nothing again the same green symbol on the screen. Than I took battery out and in again and pressed volume up + power button and the phone vibrates 3 times and the orange lid is on. When connected to PC does nothing! I instaled and played with sdk and adb like you instructed me but the problem is that the device is not in the device list! I start to think that its bricked or soft bricked but it makes me mad since its new and I never played with it or changed something!
Also if it matters I got it from the eBay but since I wrote to HTC also the answer was from them that its a indonesian market phone that has expired guarantee one year ago, so this makes me think that maybe its a referb and not new phone
P.S Sorry for the double post I am new here and thanks for trying to help
I.m attaching two pics of what is seen on the screen help me if you can

You might want to try official RUU although I dont know if it will work since you dont seem to be able to boot up properly, but its certainly worth a try. BTW, how long did u wait for the OTA update to finish installing?

Hello,
I have an LG P880 and I had the Torch app with the flash on.
I accidentally dropped the phone and it fell with the screen down and the flash went off.
When I went so see what happened I noticed that the battery was still attached.
I tried to turn on the phone but to no avail. The power button seems to be working as I can hear it click, but the screen doesn't turn on.
Later tried to connect the phone to my PC to check if it connected in download mode, but it didn't. ADB doesn't recognize any devices either.
I don't know what else I can try.. I had some notes on the internal memory that I can't reach and I really needed them..
Does anyone know of a way to extract information from the internal memory?
The phone is still on warranty and I don't see any screws that have a void stamp. If needed I can disassemble it.
It was running CM 10.1 stable.
Thank you for your time

try removing the battery, plug a usb connected to a pc, whilst holding volume down, if it goes into software download mode, you can restore it by flashing the original firmware through kdz.

Thank you for your reply, but I have already tried that. The screen doesn't even turn on.
Another interesting thing that I found is that in complete darkness, I remove and insert the battery and try to turn it on. The lights on the touch buttons slightly blink and the phone doesn't do anything else.

If the phone does not turn on, something has probably broken inside the phone, due to you dropping it. You could try to get it repaired and hope the info will stay on it, or you could disassemble yourself and see if you can spot the problem and repair it yourself.

Thank you for your reply, I will send it to warranty tomorrow probably. I disassembled everything except the touch screen and it seems everything is in place, since I'm don't have the knowledge for anything else and don't want to break any seals if any exist
More information: I can turn it on to the APX mode apparently (volume up + volume down + power on), however Windows says it is an "Unknown device" and doesn't even provide a vendor/device ID so no driver can be installed for the device..
Hope they can salvage my data or I'll have a hard time trying to remember my notes lol

The APX mode is like recovery mode but on a deeper level. You use nvflash with it. If you can't get to this mode nothing else will work more info here
I sent it to warranty, they said they will contact me within 5 days

Hi,
yesterday I was just watching tv, so I haven't used my phone for about two hours. Then when I tried to use it it just didn't react. So I tried holding power for about 15-20 seconds, nothing happend. Then i held power+volume down and it brought me to the screen at which you have a few options to choose from and I chose reboot. A white screen with htc logo appeared. After about 10 minutes of looking at this still image I decided to try and hold power button to restart the process. After it turned off it didn't want to turn on again. I charged it whole night and tried power, power+volume up, power+volume down combinations, also i tried to do power+volume up under bright light. I tried to connect to a pc and leave it for half an hour and do the same thing again but it didn't help. So I decided to return it to the service (not htc, just some repair shop in my city) and they said that they are going to "open it up". Now I don't know if I should take it from them before they're going to destroy it and maybe try something else, or if I should just let them open it and see what's inside
nothing inside. Don't let them to open your device. Can you enter to HBoot? If yes plz write in cmd

Sorry for the delay but it was kind of a busy week for me. So, I called them immediatly and told them not to open the phone. I got it back. I can't get to hboot, although when I connect it to a pc, windows makes a sound and then it searches for a driver, but it fails to find one. If I hold any combination of buttons with the power button, after around 10 seconds pc makes a sound of disconnecting a device and then connecting it again, but the phone screen nor the buttons light up.

Do you think I should try and follow this guide, or just give the phone to htc to fix it? It's still under warranty, but I have flashed a new rom and stuff so I'm not sure if they're going to do it for free. I have called to my carrier and courier will come to me after xmas on 29th december, but it's kind of long time from now.
EDIT:
I'm pretty sure that's the name of the thing for which windows was looking for drivers (QHUSB_DLOAD)

follow the guide it worked for me
Sadly, it didn't work for me :/ waiting for the courier (the device is in a wrong mode or something like that)
First of all, it's not my tablet, but a collegue gave it to me because I said I might be able to fix it.
But it's showing no life signs, I can't boot in any way, not download nor recovery, and when I charge it nothing happens neither. So I guess it would be hard bricked, but when I connected it via USB to my PC, I heard the windows-device-connected sound. The driver thing showed up, and it said cloverview installing. So I guess it's not hard bricked? By longpressing the power button, the windows sound let me now it disconnected, and when I pressed it again it reconnected. Could it be that the screen is just broken? But to power off the device, I normally would have to confirm it on the screen right? I tried booting blind into download mode and checked it with Odin but nothing.
But are these the normal Samsung drivers? You guys have any ideas? I saw a thread on how to unbrick it, but you have to unsolder capacitors etc. from the mainboard, and apparently the OP didn't test it out neither.
If someone has any idea that would be nice.
