[Q] Frozen at boot screen

i just bought the captivate off my friend for 150 the problem is when you turn the phone the screen stays on the att world phone screen and then you can hear sound but the screen stays the same and it doesnt change so i was wondering if there is a way to fix this

Do you know if your friend kept it stock?

honestly i have no clue but i believe he did

Sounds like he didn't and that's why he sold it so cheap. Go to this thread and get the tools you will be needing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439. Install the drivers then download the .zip and extract the files, download the pda.tar. Run Odin as administrator put the pda.tar in the pda slot and the pit file in the pit slot.
Next power off the phone and remove the SIM, your external sd card and battery. Plug the usb cable into the computer only then press and hold the volume up and down buttons at the same time, don't touch power, put the battery in and plug the usb into the phone. You should be in download mode, Odin should see your phone push start and let Odin run. This will take you to a working phone, just like it was when it came from AT&T.
Good luck and let us know if it works.

First of can you should never have paid him for the phone if it wasn't fully working when you got it.
Second can you get into download mode? If so then get the one click odin and flash back to stock and you will have a working phone. If you can't get into download mode then demand your money back from him and drop him as a friend.

I linked him to c3poLOL's Odin package instead that way if he has a borked three button combo this will fix that too. I agree, not a good friend, sounds like he soft bricked it before selling it. Should be fixable and then it's a steal, if it was off contract.

You sure he is a friend
Captivate
Cog 2.2

this didnt work because the phone did not show up on my computer even after i installed the drivers and odin

Try using a different usb port on your pc, one in the back where the motherboard is, perhaps you need more power, I've seen this happen. Are you familiar with adb? Are you able to get into download or recovery mode using the three button combo. ADB will work from the recovery screen.

I had the same issue today someones rom screwed up my phone and it would boot up with sound, but be stuck at the att screen. Wasnt able to activate download mode with buttons or adb, because permissions werent granted. So my advice for anyone else that has this problem get superoneclick to root your device and get permissions ( I used Z4 root which i will never do again) and run cmd.exe type in the path you have for example mine was C:\Users\PEGLEG\android-sdk-windows\tools\adb shell (modify it for where you have yours, then type in reboot download, and you should get into the download screen where odin will fix your device.

my phone is also "frozen" at a boot up screen.

[Q] Bricked. Three-button won't work! Help!

So I was reverting to Rogers stock on my Captivate so I could flash a new ROM when Windows explorer crashed mid-process, causing Heimdall to fail and brick my phone (got the Phone-!-Computer screen). After reading around, I found the 3-button method and tried it, which got me back into Download mode. I used Odin3 to flash AT&T Stock, but when trying to install clockwork recovery I kept getting an error. Looking through OTHER threads, I found that the recovery could be flashed using Odin, so I went back into download mode and started it flashing. Then Odin crapped out and bricked my phone AGAIN! Now the 3-button method won't work, and I'm back at the Phone-!-Computer screen. Computer won't recognize the phone at all, and I can't get back into Download mode. What do I do?

Did you try this:
1. Start Odin
2. Plug USB cable into computer
3. Remove the battery from the phone
4. Plug the cable into the phone
5. Hold down both volume buttons
6. Put in the battery
Hopefully that'll get you into download mode if not look into making a JIG.

No go. Won't boot into Download mode. If 3-button boot was disabled or something I'm SOL. Gonna have to make a jig I guess. Ffffff---

Start it up plug the phone to the comp. If you see the fastboot usb in red at the top left hand corner then there's still hope!
If not you better save up for another phone.

Unfortunately this IS a new phone. I've had it for about a day and a half. The three-button method for getting into download mode isn't working at all -- it just sits at the Phone!PC screen. Gonna try to assemble a JIG tomorrow -- otherwise I'll have to take it back, and who knows if they'll replace it.

They will never know that you messed with it if they can't turn on the phone to check.
So I think your safe.

Fixed! And with a ****ty, solder-free JIG no less! Wrestled with it for a bit and Heimdall wasn't cooperating, either, but I got it going.
Pics for your viewing pleasure.

An iGo power tip, three 300k resistors taped together, two alligator clips and a pair of clothespins later, and my phone works!

That's awesome! I'm glad you got everything worked out. Btw did your three button work before?
Sent from my Captivate

It worked initially, before flashing the AT&T firmware the first time. Second go when it bricked itself during Heimdall's update to Rogers stock 3-button wouldn't work -- hence the need to macguyver the above JIG.

[Q] (Q) Galaxy tab P1000L wont turn on

O my problem is i was trying to flash OVERCOME Icarus and following the guide on the overcome site i downloaded the stock v5 file unziped and started the included odin in download mode selected the files as instructed set repartition and pressed start. After couple minutes odin gave me a green PASS and rebooted my phone but it wont turn on soft keys are on but screen is of. If i press the power button the keys turn of. Conecting it to power outlet (original included charger) turn on soft keys after a few secs but no battery icon displayed.
After about 30 mins in this state i tried plugging it to my pc (windows 7x64Ultimate) and windows made the sound that it detected something but i cud not check what hardware it detected and odin did not detect device.
Is this a SOFT-Brick or a HARD-Brick and how can i correct my problem if possible
Edit: ok when i plugg it in windows Device manager shows SAMSUNG Android USB Modem, and SAMSUNG Android composite adb interface. Also if i start kies it tries to connect but after a while gives me a device not responding to resolve this issue reboot the device. Odin still does not detect it
Edit2: Ok tried going tru command prompt adb with adb devices command and it gives me a device conected in recovery mode i guess the is still hope still if some1 can help ill apreciate it

i was gonna reply you now , if you wait 1 second with your pm , you could see me reply you
1st of all and this is the important , overcome is not for P1000L my prove is :

if odin can't recognize it then sorry i can't do you anything but you can try this "
Check to see if the device is actually "Hard" bricked by leaving it plugged into charge for atleast 4 hours via a mains supply (NOT USB).
If above doesn't work you will need to send your Tab To Samsung To Fix it For you or visit this link. "
sorry for your lost dude , you better read carefully later the guides , to be sure batter than to be sorry .
good luck

how you managed it to go into download mode ? btw glad to hear that

download mode
looks like the tab was booting but the screen wasnt turning on i replaced the kernel with one found in post #1 from this treadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14728425#post14728425 and instalation continued still no screen the followed instructions from post#4 of same thread and got screen to turn on but stuck at galaxy tab boot screen, got fed up and im restoring my original rotobackup using heimdall 1.1 frontend the bar at heimdall shows 100% but no other success or failure message been like that for bout 10mins device screen show download bar but i dont see any advance btw im at the phone-yellow triangle-pc download screen

that is cool , simply you are a Worrier
did you unplugged or not yet ?
sooner or later you gonna do

still nothing
damm this tab used odin to flash my roto backup of original rom and nothing normal boot goes past galaxy tab screen into operator(telcel:mexico) animation and then gets stuck in samsung logo.
Recovery mode shows following errore:cant mount /dev/bñock/mmcblk0p2 (invalid Argument)
E:install_aplication_for_customer: cant mount DATA:
Good news looks like a software brik bad news=a really bad software brik any help will b thanked and apreciated

i think you need to flash your firmware " http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/auth/login?why=pw&try=1&wp=1&next=WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm" download it from this link ans flash it with PIT FILE

Finally
Ok Im a very happy tab owner now dont really know what worked but i tried the rom from samfirmware and the same so i retraced my steps got overcome in there again managed to get the sexy voice withoout screen went back to samfirmware at this point the error changet to cant mount dev sdcard or something like that so i went back to my own rotobackup and was back on last error.
I was almost thinking of sending it for repair when (and i dont know why i did) in the factory recovery menu i pressed home on the wipe cache option i got android with sign so i get desperate and press home dunno how many times and sudenly the cache was wiped i did the same on factory reset and after that my tab booted into my operator rotobackup(rooted ofc).
Guess I will stick to froyo for now and thanks for the help

Telcel
I'm anothere desesperated user that tried to update the Galaxy Table P1000L toandroid Gingerbread, but screen is not working anymore, I hate my self for trying doing this, What should I do?

So... same problem here.... My tab p1000l bricked and then when i finally got the answear the battery got drained... so... if i understand it correctly if it was not a hard brick i can charge already if i plug it for at least 4 hours to charge?

[Q] Bricked S1 Auto-booting

Hi Guys,
I'm having strange troubles with my galaxy S1 i9000
Problem: Phone wil auto reboot as soon as you put in the battery no buttons have to be pushed anymore to make it boot up !
When it boots up it only does that for a few seconds, just enough to see the samsung logo then it goes off again.
Download mode is to be accessed but only for a few seconds, no mather what it shuts down completely and starts over.
Recovery mode is not working at all !
Download mode: time too short for my pc to recognize the usb device.
How did this happen ? The phone was currently running on ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000 with no major problems !
I only had some problems with use of few apps and the camera but that was fixed with a fix permissons setting. (that was earlier that day)
The error occured during the charging of the battery that evening, it just started booting over and over
The only way to stop this is pulling out the battery, but when it is inserted again it starts rebooting again.
Also I opened up the phone to look inside for dirt or other problems also cleaned out the usb port and other holes with compressed air. the inside looks okay to me all buttons feel fine too.
I already searched this forum about this problem there were few who had 'similar' problems but they were lucky to have warranty my phone is beyond that I supose with 2 years of age
The ones with warranty send it back to repairs and got it working again after a software mod and an hardware replacement they do not know or said what the hardware replacement was...
Hopefully there is someone who know's this problem and can suggest how i can fix this ?
Thanks in advance !

Does the download more works? Try to push VolDown+Home+Power even if it is
in this bootloop. After some time I think it must show the yellow logo of download
mode... Did you try it?

Yes I tried this... As I said it will go into download mode (with the yellow logo) but only for a few seconds then it reboots !
I also tried it with a Jig but with same result

I had the same problem yesterday, running off FW 2.3.6 . Kies wanted to update the firmware, but it stopped after 15 %, and basically trashed the OS.
Phone kept booting by itself, and shut off by itself.
The trick here was to take out sim, and mem card, use VOL UP ( not down ) , select ( bottom ) and then power.
Then i could do a factory reset ( you get the screen with the options )and with Odin i could load a old 2.3.4 FW.
maybe this helps ?
GR r

Well i've made some progress in the rebooting problem !
The phone is not auto-booting anymore it just stopped doing that after continiously trying to get it in download or recovery mode.
However I got it in download mode and was able to flash the rom to stock via odin !
Now the device is working again but there still is one problem the on/off switch seems to be broken !
Once it rebooted via odin it could not be turned off the normal way, only by pulling out the battery.
So I opened up the phone again and found out that on the flatwire towards the on/off switch it has a tiny round scratchmark probably caused by the leverage witch holds the plastic button in place on the edgecasing of the phone.
I'l try to get a picture of this here:

}
On the left side you have the button, al little to the right in the flatwire there is a dark spot ! that is where the wire is damaged !
So if anyone knows where I can buy a new powerbutton ? Feel free to contact me
Already ordered parts online ! so I think the phone will be fine next week !
Thanks for the help and suggestions !

Try to manually get in recovery, it might take a few tries.
As for your usb port problem.. It might be worth getting it replaced/fixed as the cappy highly depends on it.

I don't think you're doing this right. Getting in download mode, you have to be unplugged, phone turned off and hold vol down + power.

Yes, I already recovery mode but does not work, is that he is as frizzy, send for the USB JIG for amazon to see if that works. I hope if works if not then I will comment to follow their opinions.

Unfortunately did not work with USB JIG!. I think it needs a JTAG!. and I q Pay not worth 40 dollars for a JTAG! if you find another way to enter download mode will thank you many times!. the phone turns itself I think that's what it does not enter download mode with JIG USB. Powering the button is damaged.

What ROM you were running before flashing CyanCore kernel?
How did you find USB is not working? Are you using the original Samsung USB cable?

The rom you were using is [4.2.2] GamerzROM Legend Edition v4.0
and yes use the Samsung USB Cable.
the power button when I bought apparently not working but I did not need as the phone turns putting the battery.
now I do not know if this hurting to use USB JIG.
the phone is as frizzy as when I install the cable before putting the battery and put the battery and stays like in the picture I put up
Install only when CyanCore kernel. and gave him a Reboot Recovery, so stayed on the screen in White logo AT & T, I just wanted to install the version 4.3
either I get into recovery mode with Volume Up + Down before if I did.

Well, with so many hardware issues playing with custom ROMs is not a good idea in a first place. Anything that goes wrong kills your phone with no way to recover it.
