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.
i.e 2010.08.13

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 ....
I just woke up to a nightmare. I reached over for my phone and i found it dead unplugged from the charger. I thought to myself... "Alright, let's begin charging it... I probably forgot to put it on the charger last night"
I plugged the phone into the charger and the phone powers on...
After it boots, i it prompts me to connect the phone to my computer... Strange...
I plug in the phone to my computer and Zune pops up with c101002e error code.
Now i did some research and it looked like my phone somehow got bricked... so i found the following link and sure enough, my error code is on the list of known troubles.
The Windows Phone Support Tool is not working on my phone, After following the steps i get the attached screenshot error.
My next step is to reflash... however. Following These instructions, I cant seem to get my phone to boot into the tricolor bootloader screen!
PLEASE HELP! Any input would be greatly appreciated!
You say "After it boots, i it prompts me..." is windows booting before the error pops up?
The phone is off... i plug the charger in, and it boots as in it turns on. Once it turns on, windows does not load. instead it's telling me to connect to computer. I connect to computer and the error appears
already tried an hard reset??
Not able to perform a hard reset... I hold down both volume bottons while the phone is off and press the power/lock button to power it on. while holding on the volume buttons... the phone just goes to the connect to computer screen.
Try taking out the battery. Leave it out for a short while then replace it & check its securely in place. Reboot & see what happens. The phone shouldn't brick when charging or sleeping. Good luck!

may be the camera key is pressed down by the case and stopping it from booting
I do not have a case with the phone but i always did have a problem with that camera buttom... it does seem to be kinda pushed in... I hate this...
what is ur version???
just u can jailbreak the 7004 or 7008 by chevron...
Hello
Recently i've bought an broken screen Xperia Z, for repair it (i got it like $300 bucks cheaper) and i was ready to buy the screen, but i battery was drained and i could not test it right, when i connected to the charger, it started red light, vibrate, then 3 continuous vibes, read on the internet, OK BATTERY DRAINED, i left it charge THE WHOLE NIGHT, and when i woke up in the morning it was orange (charging), later in the day it was green (charged) but when i disconnect it, it wont turn on anyways, when i connect it to a pc, it goes blue light (wich later i read it was fastboot mode). i read for making a repair with PCC, but it didnt fixed it, then i flashed it with Flashtool, with the latest software (wich had the Sudden death issue fixed) no luck. it wont boot. for it to boot, i have to connect it to PC and with fastboot run "fastboot continue", but most of the time, it reboots and goes redlight and vibrate 3 times then reboot, so i press the power button and it enters fastboot mode (if connected to PC) or loads charging if connected to wall charger, but it reboots again and goes to redlight vibrate reboot, sometimes it stay charging or in fastboot mode, but only "works" if connected in the USB.
when it stays in fastboot, i do "fastboot continue" and it loads the OS, and it works (well, the things i can do with a broken LCD/Touchscreen, i put my sim card and could call it, and it works, but i cant pick up the call). i can explore the phone memory etc. but if it reboots or if i disconnect the USB, it will almost always turn off. i havn't found a solution (or idea) of what can happen, i dont know if its normal since it has broken lcd/touchscreen or it definitely have a huge problem,
any ideas?
thanks in advance!
Maybe the battery is damaged, and the phone knows it and boots into some sort of safe mode to spare internal damage? When the is has booted you can take screenshots with adb if you have usb debugging enabled. Maybe try see if the os says the battery is damaged?

Well, actually it doesnt seem the battery is damaged, fisically looks ok and it holds charge, i cant debug because usb debugging comes off by default when flash stock software.

Correct me if i am wrong but does the xperia z not support usg-otg and mhl? You could rig the phone up to the tv with a mhl-hdmi cable and maybe use a usb mouse to select things, and enable usb debugging?

Nice idea, now i need to find who in this country (DR) have that adapter
i ordered the LCD screen assembly for repair it myself, but im still concerned about this, as i dont know if it will boot up anyways
my phone right now isnt booting. but as i cant see images i dont know what is it showing.
i noticed the touch screen is working indeed. (when booted, it plays sounds when tapping)
i will wait till the lcd assembly arrives. any ways, any other ideas on what may happen?
the ex-owner of the phone said it started like that when it fell and broke the lcd.
OK now, i've installed the LCD, the phone works, its ON, BUT the Volume Up button and the Power Button does not work when the phone is ON,
the Vol UP button seems always be pressed cause when i press the power button for some seconds, the Phone restarts and not power off or lock/unlock
Service tests: None of these buttons where recognized.
any ideas on any hardware fixes i could try?
I FIXED IT!!
dissasembled the phone, took out the side button flex cable and the volume up button on the flex was dirty, so it was having a false contact. (wich made the button always be pressed)
I took out the yellow tape and cleaned with alcohol and a needle (its so freakin small) and put the tape again and assembled the phone and voila! IT WORKS OK!!
Yes the vol up button pressed means u get fastboot. Now that you fixed the problem and repaired the phone enjoy. Btw nice job getting it up and running.

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

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!!!
So, I let a friend of mine use my old M7 in order to repartition/format an sd card (using an OTG adapter). Came back with phone completely dead. I do suspect he ended up partitioning or formatting one of the system partitions in there (possibly the bootloader?) phone was rooted so...
Anyway, situation is as follows: Phone looks dead. Long pressing the power button does nothing, no vibration, no keys light up, no screen comes on.
BUT, when connecting it to the computer I get the usb connection sound on my Windows 10. If I long press the power button for ~10 seconds, i do get the usb disconnection sound, followed again by the usb connection sound. So "something" is alive in there. Also, power+vol down button does reboot the phone.
However there's no way to access recovery, bootloader, adb/fastboot, or even flash a RUU.
It isn't even charging when I plug it in, no red led.
Anything else I could try before giving up?
Thank you.

When you here that USB sound when connecting to your pc, go to the windows device manager and look for devices in the usb section. Is the phone showing as "QHSUSB_DLOAD" or simply "HTC Phone" ?

Hey, thanks for the reply, sorry for the delay. Yeah, it shows something similar to QHSUSB_DLOAD. Looked it up a bit, guess it's completely borked.

Yep sounds like your phone is in Qualcomm download mode. Usually this can happens for 2 reasons.
1- Hardware failure
2- Bad firmware flash

Hard to tell since we don't know what your friend exactly did or what was used from that usb-otg drive.
A phone shop that can connect to your phone using jtag/riff could maybe fix it but doesn't worth the $$ asked for a 2013 phone, imo.

As far as he told me, he just used an app to try to format the otg drive, multiple times, and after a reboot phone died. He couldn't remember which app he used, but since phone was rooted, I can only guess he actually tried to format some system partition.
I will give the unbricking project a go, need to find a linux machine first. I really know jack about linux, but I guess it's no harm trying it Thank you!
