Using your computer and usb cable, remove the battery from the phone. Plug the pc side of the cable into your pc. Put the battery back in the phone. Hold the volume up and volume down buttons. While holding the buttons, plug in the phone side of the usb cable and continue holding. You should be in download mode within a few moments. View my clip for a how-to video session on this...
Reply if this worked. It SHOULD work as you have soft bricked and this is a way of entering download mode during a soft brick of the phone.

This is your second option.
Any luck with suggested solutions?
nothing with just the buttons, but im fixing to buy the micro usb breakboard and see what happens
Or you can buy a JIG from me!

Did you try the volume button method with plugging in the USB cable into the phone while it's plugged into the computer? It sounds like you are just doing the volume buttons plus power button method. The JiG is for HARD bricks which doesn't sound like it's what you have. Although it will work for SOFT bricks also.

First post, been lurking a while though. I actually had the same problem, and fixed it this way last night. Took me about 30 tries and lots of sweat before I figured it out though

yeah I have been doing it with the cable connected to the computer and then hold down the buttons and connect the phone, but still all I see is the empty battery and black screen

how long did you hold the buttons up and down after you connected the cable? iv held it for 2 mins and nothing!
Ugh. This is the way to do the button combo:
Step 1 remove the battery, open odin3 the one click jh6.
Step 2 plug in the usb and hold the volume up, volume down, and power.buttons.
Step 3 put in the battery and release the power button but keep holding the volume up/down buttons.
Step 4 press download. This puts the phone in download mode. I found this method when I had a soft brick. Umyou don't need a jig since you can still boot to the white screen. This will work.

I will try this method, as I am in the same boat as the others here. I have already placed my order for the USB Jig but am hoping that this method will work.
However, under step 4, you indicate that you "press download." What do you mean by this? Where is the "download" button? On odin3, the only buttons I saw were start and master clear. Is the download button an option on the Captivate?
To my knowledge, there is no "Download" button on ODIN or a Captivate in a semi-bricked state.
Edit:
If those directions don't work, you might also try a method I've had success with.
1. Remove battery, SIM card, and MicroSD (if you have one) from the phone
2. Wait at least 10 seconds with the phone having no power source
3. Hold Vol Up/Down, don't let go
4. Insert battery
5. If it worked, in a few seconds you should see Download Mode

I think Im really screwed I have done everything that has been posted previosly and nothing seem to work. as soon I connect to my computer odin3 dose not do anything it's as though nothing is connected and my phone goes to that empty battery with the frozen loading star or what ever its called, it also does that when I connect it to the AC outlet.
Still waiting on the jig to arrive I think thats my last hope!
Why doesn't anyone use adb to get into download? The only time you HAVE use the 3 button is if you get phone!Pc screen. If your phone can get to the att screen, open command prompt, change directory to adb tools location, and type adb reboot download. Do all this before you hook your phone up to the computer. When you're ready connect phone to pc, turn it on, right after you see the att splash screen and hear that your phone is connected press enter.

how do you use a adb to get into download mode? is there a link you can hook me up with instructions I would really appreciated it.
I need to know is this considered as sudden death syndrome? Phone suddenly turn to this state when I charged it. It has been like this for the past 2 hours and I dare not switch it off. Phone never rooted and on official jelly bean software. Pls advise.

you are in odin downloadmode, perhaps you accidently put your device in odin mode, thats done by holding volume down/home/power buttons same time. just hold the power button and reboot your device

Hold the power button it did not reboot so I took out the battery for 5 minutes, reboot and the screen is back to normal. But what I don't understand is why the phone goes into odin download mode without me holding the volume down/home/power buttons ( happens few times this week). Sometimes battery won't charge even after I changed the chargers/wires (works well on my note) and sometimes on docking mode? I went into Settings > Accessories > none of the docking boxes are checked.

i have no idea, but could be hardware issue. I have a friend who has a i9300 and he had the same problem with battery not charging (with different chargers) only thing that worked was a usb cable connected to pc, though i dont know if he has solved the problem. perhaps your device wants a update, thats why going into odin mode just kidding. your on older firmware i guess with the old bootloader as i dont see the knox counter in the picture. maybe you want to update to 4.3, and maybe the battery not charging issue will be fixed but i highly doubt that. keep in mind that doing the update you will get knox bootloader and that crap SUCKS!, now thats not a big issue but when you root it and install custom rom the counter will be triggered and samsung repair service will not accept it if you want to send it to service.
This is a HARD Bricked phone that first started going berserk after a partial install of a SONY software update. The phone would flash the home screen and continually vibrate. I forced it down with power off. Did not know what I was doing and believe I converted a soft brick to a hard brick. The soft brick at first responded to power button and volume up button to reboot. After that point it became more and more unresponsive to complete death.
It is not recognized by PC (even in the device manager) when plugged into USB port on PC. NO LED or any lights on the phone at all! No red charging LED with charger plugged in, No Sony screen icon, no vibration with power button pushed hard for >10 seconds (with and without pushing up/down volume). The ONLY response I get is an audible windows sound coming from my PC as long as I hold the power and volume up button down.
I have left the phone off a charger for >48 hours and then placed it on the charger for 6-7 hours. Still no red LED while on the phone was on the charger. Reason for me doing this was my reading notes that Sony had a battery error issue that could only be solved by removing the battery or draining it completely. Recharging the battery was suppose to be a fix. A recent poster did this (removed the battery) which is a job and was able to get a red LED but nothing else. There was no reply.
My readings also indicated that there are a number of people with this problem (hard bricked phone) involved with download or install of their software Sony reportedly has a fix to install to correct it. I am a day late and a dollar short.
BTW, the Sony PC companion works up until I connect the phone to the PC and then an error message appears to make sure battery is charged to 80% before proceeding. Ignoring that brings up a troubleshooting screen prompting holding the power button and volume up button for 10 seconds. This is where I get an audible windows connect/disconnect sound coming from my PC that will keep sounding as long ass I hold the buttons down and stops after I remove them. Could this possibly be just a battery issue? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Firstly, you've made one major mistake when you've turned off your phone by using force. It can completely brick your phone forever.
Secondly, if you can hear any sound when connect your phone to USB, then thats mean, that your phone is still in minimal functionality. However, you can give a try to buy a new battery and see, how it goes.
It's better to buy extra battery, than change the whole phone, am I right?
And try to leave your phone without touching it for couple days I think. Maybe your battery somehow has got any fault or it has been faulted when you've force-shutted the phone.
Just give a try and that's all. You can't do anything else, except if you know and you're ready for phone disassembly. If none of my suggested methods will work, then try some other tutorials, you can search for them in XZ category's. I've forgotten how that thread is named, but you can search by some key-words, like : ultimate recovery, back to life, unbrick and etc.,
I hope my information is all correct and helpful, if not, then sorry for disturbation for nothing

My gut tells me that the battery is OK but needs to be recharged. Apparently there is something that will not allow the battery to recharge unless it is removed or drained to zero. I thought I drained it to zero but perhaps not. The other case where the battery was removed and was then able to show a red LED apparently allowed the battery to recycle. That's as far as he got.
In the mean time I'm taking your advise and just letting the phone sit until someone makes a suggestion or I get tired of looking at it.
Thank you for your time and suggestions.
Can you enter the "fastboot" mode (unlocked bootloader) /"flash mode" (locked bootloader) ?
Hold "volume down" button and connect with USB cable to the pc.
So first hold "volume down" button and then connect with USB cable to the pc while holding the "volume down" button. Let go the "volume down" when a green led on your phone appears.
You can still enter the "flash mode" if the green led appears.
Hold "volume up" button and connect with USB cable to the pc.
So first hold "volume up" button and then connect with USB cable to the pc while holding the "volume up" button. Let go the "volume up" when a blue led on your phone appears.
If the blue led appears on your phone you can still enter the "fastboot mode".
There is still hope if the green/blue leds appear on your phone (meaning you can still enter "flash mode" / "fastboot mode".
. But the following question need to be answered:

It is HARD Bricked. Unresponsive to all of the above w/o any LED response.
Has your phone an unlocked bootloader?
The phone was purchased from Sony and was factory unlocked. It was running fine until the new update from Sony was installed. I believe the update was related to the OS which is 4.4.4.

Hello,
My name is Adrian and i have a problem with my HTC One Mini.
Two weeks ago i dropped the phone on the ground and the part where the power button is situated broke so i had the "smartest" idea to stick it back with super glue. When i did that i managed to glue my power button at is now was not working so i thought that i should try and separate the button from the sensors and i kinda broke it worse, now i brooked the sensors it's torn and i cannot power up the phone. Since then i managed to keep my phone charged so it could not lock, so that i should have not been forced to use the power button but yesterday my battery drained out so now the phone is dead. I managed to charger it and now it's says 100% .. but the cable is not recognized by the PC and i am not able to perform the actions that i have read above "volume down + home + USB cable in", etc... What do you recommend me to do please?
Thank you in advance!
Please someone, can help me????? Thank you!

Hey,
so I was running cm13 (some version from november) and i wanted to go back to zui so i restored a backup that i created when i first got the phone. i booted into twrp, pressed on restore and selected my backup. after waiting for the backup to restore i saw that the process failed. then i pressed on the return to system or whatever button and now my phone wont boot anymore. when i hold power it just vibrates and the notification led flashes once. when i plug it in to charge the notification led doesnt light up. also when connecting it to my pc it is recognized (sound when you plug something in/out) but its not recognized as a phone or storage. what do i do?
Hi,
small question.
Did you do a full wipe?
Please delete system and data partition.
Because you come from cm13 to stock.
Are you able to enter fastboot? Press and hold volume down button and then hold the power button. Alternatively if your phone is off just unplug it and leave it for a few minutes, then whilst holding just the volume down button plug it into your PC and then check with "fastboot devices" in your terminal (I'm assuming that you do have adb and fastboot tools on your phone since you had a custom ROM).
@djsven I just went into twrp and tried to restore my back up not more not less. I cant delete the data and system partition as my device isnt turning on and my pc doesnt recognize the phone as a storage device.
@Uivalf39 by holding volume down and power button i cant enter. all it did was vibrate + led flash. I think its on 0% power now because holding power now just makes the led flash once (no vibration anymore). can you tell me what exactly you mean by "check with "fastboot devices"".
thanks to everyone trying to help

You'll first need to install adb and fastboot tools, as well as drivers for the phone and google utilities. I assume you already have these since you must have unlocked your phone and flashed twrp to install CM13.
Sending the "fastboot devices" command through an adb/fastboot enabled terminal will show you if your phone is fastboot-enabled. Your phone is bricked, the only way to go back to the original software is to follow the guide (available both here and on zukfans), TWRP backup won't work with stock ROMs.
Don't worry though, you should be able to recover it, but it'll be a lot of trial and error.
Have a read through here and here and here, seems like a lot of good troubleshooting material for bricked devices.
Let us know how you get on.
My phone was recognized as QUSB_BULK in device manager. i installed qhsusb drivers and now its in ports and its called "qualcomm hs-usb diagnostics 900e (com10)". trying to find out what to do now.

Oh dear, from the stuff I found on Google, it sounds like you'll have to disconnect the battery to force the phone to shut down everything before carrying on.
Check out this thread on zukfans, specifically these comments: [1] [2]
This is the danger of having phones with non-removable batteries. Sounds like you might have to remove the back glass, shouldn't be TOO difficult, looks like it's just glued down without any clasps so you'll need a heat gun (hair dryer should do). Here is a guide on doing that.
If you do end up doing that, would you be willing to film it and upload it to YouTube afterwards? I can't find any video of such a feat and it would be useful for anyone else who needs to do that. Maybe even add some comments of whether there are any clasps, how long you had to heat it up, etc.
In the past I've been successful in unbricking my phones by draining them until the battery protection circuitry wouldn't allow for any more power to be drawn. This would roughly be equivalent to unplugging the battery so it might work for you depending what the phone is currently doing. If the screen comes on then you should be able to drain it, if only your notification light flashes then it's a fool's errand.
NB: The zukfans poster's step 1 was to fully charge your phone as you'll need full battery for the solution. What I described above will probably not work but there's always multiple solutions to every problem and if you're weary of removing the back you can try that, don't hold me on this, but I it shouldn't do any damage.
@Uivalf39
I managed to remove the battery connector. after putting it back in and now im trying to do the sequence i still dont understand because of bad phrasing (hold vol up then hold power then after 0.5s plug usb in? hold vol up hold power for 0.5s after plugging in? idk). all i now get is a slow flashing led when connecting it to anything via usb no matter what i press. i dont even know if its charging

After doing that, what do you have on device manager? Is it still as before with the 900e?
Alright, so from what I understand it goes something like this:
Unplug battery connector
Wait 10-15 seconds with the connector unplugged
Plug back battery connector
Press and HOLD volume up button
Whilst holding volume up press power button and hold it down
After 0.5s of holding power button plug in the usb (connected to the PC) - still keep holding the volume up and power button
Keep holding volume up and power button, and the ZUK logo should pop on the screen and phone should vibrate
Now release buttons and your phone should appear in device manager as port 9008
How did you find removing the glass back? How did you do it and how difficult would you say it was?
@Uivalf39 Im pretty sure im getting the timing right but all i get is a slowly flashing nofication led. no vibration and no logo. also my device doesnt get recognized at all on my pc i cant find it in device manager.
removing the back was pretty easy i just heated the 3 corners (the ones without a camera) on max for like 2 min each with a hair dryer. then i pushed in a plectrum and went around the edges with it.
@mdeoinko That's really strange, maybe we'll need to think a bit outside the box. What version of Windows are you using? Do you have the qualcomm/zuk/google drivers installed properly?
Here's one comment that might be useful.
Also, Francko from zukfans (main ROM guy so I guess he knows his stuff) did some trickery with the USB cable, not entirely sure what it is and how it works, but it looks like it does so you might want to look into this.
I'd say that you should maybe post to zukfans, you'll get more help there.
Godspeed my son!
@Uivalf39 damn i completely forgot about modifieng the cable brb hopefully i can fix it now
@mdeoinko
Hiya, any update? Hoping that your lack of posts means that you solved the issue and no longer need help. If so, could you post here what you did to solve it? Such that anyone else with this issue that comes across this thread might know what works and what doesn't.
Cheers!
i need help, cant signup into zukfans giving error as spam activity, cant go into 9008 mode, tried everything accept removing back of the fone. any guesses...
