[Q] Captivate With I9000 Firmware Stuck in Recovery Mode

There have been those that run into problems after installing the XXJP3I9000 update on the Samsung Captivate and attempt to reboot into recovery mode. The issue that they have is that since the Captivate has no physical home button to select an option like you can with the Galaxy S, you can't select an option, and therefore you can't reboot your device regularly. While I am in this same problem and have not figured out a solution, I have started this thread to post what knowledge I have about this issue so that others may help get this issue figured out. If anyone has information on how to fix this problem, please comment below. Let's fix this!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First of all, the key combinations that standardly would work with the original captivate firmware will not work anymore. Pressing all three buttons (Vol+, Vol - and Power) will only power cycle the phone, that is, until you let up on the buttons. Pressing Vol+ and Vol- and then plugging your phone into the computer will also do nothing. (By nothing I mean will take you back to the recovery menu)
Every key combination will only take you back to the recovery menu, so key combinations seem to be out.
If you boot into recovery mode, take out the battery and put it back in, all the while keeping the phone plugged in to the computer, the phone will enter the "POWER RESET OR UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE", which will show your device in windows as being a Samsung USB Composite Device and a Samsung Mobile Modem (gadget serial, Windows 7) While this may be helpful, you cannot run ODIN or ADB in this mode, nor does this allow disk access. If you have Samsung Kies installed, it will detect a device, but will never complete loading it.
Other information with this method: On the phone screen, as well as showing "POWER RESET OR UNKNOWN UPLOAD DEVICE" the screen will also show the following in red:
RST_STAT =0X1
PMIC_IRQ1 =0X0
PMIC_IRQ2 =0x0
PMIC_IRQ3 =0x4
PMIC_STATUS1 =0x40
PMIC_STATUS2 =0x2c
If this helps anybody, it was a pleasure
Another method I found briefly was that after installing Kies, and rebooting the phone into recovery mode (again) my computer detected four new devices, two of them being Samsung Android devices and one being a disk drive. Potentially, without freezing or error, the drivers that are included with the Kies software will detect and allow for disk management while the phone is in recovery mode. Three of the four devices installed without error for me, but the fourth, the actual Android device, continued to say "installing device" until I unplugged the phone out of frustration. It has since not detected those four devices again, and I have yet to figure out how to do that again. The nice thing about that was that although the adb.exe reboot download command did not work, adb.exe did detect the phone. if this is true then rebooting normally or into download mode should be easy.
The last thing I noticed is that button furthest to the left on the main screen on the captivate will close the recovery menu when pressed, and leave the background behind, and then will reopen the recovery menu when pressed again. This is showing me that the four touch buttons are operable, but not configured. If it were possible to reconfigure the actions that pressing these buttons do, then it would be easy to be able to reboot the device normally.
I have compiled information to the best of my ability, and here is a question to ask, that I think will help solve the problem. Can the captivate with I9000 2.2 software run adb in recovery mode?
Comments, Questions, and Most of all, answers would be appreciated for me, as well as for other users with the same problem as I. Hopefully, this thread can be the solving point for this problem.
Many Thanks,
TouchofDestiny
The n00b who isn't a n00b at all

An Update: The reason that the combinations don't work for me or either people is because they (and I) fail to install the captivate kernel, and that is making the volume power button controls useless.

same here i put froyo from the galaxy s i9000 and i cant change the rom or get into recoverymode because buttons dont work man this sucks and 3G or Edge doesnt work.....

You're problem is a little different. If you can't get into recovery mode, than that means you aren't in recovery mode, which means you can use ADB to enter download mode and use Odin to flash your phone. I have given up looking for a solution, and have sent my phone back to AT&T for a replacement. Since I'm still in my thirty day trial period, it doesn't matter if I used different firmware or not. Hopefully others won't get into the situation I had. For me, this thread is complete.

hi,
I solved the same problem doing this:
start odin.
take out battery. plug in USB. press both volume buttons. insert battery while pressing those buttons.
Done. download mode should appear.

yep, same boat
I am in the same position here. I downloaded the froyo leak and installed it with odin, no problem there. Upon startup into froyo, all was good, except my phone was stuck in horizontal mode until I tilted it vertical, *then* it would go horizontal. So basically I am 90 degrees off kilter. I decided to look around for another rom to try, and in the process managed to get stuck in recovery mode. Couldn't tell ya what firmware I have, just what is on the endless recovery screen that I cannot get out of!
I have no external microSD card, only the SIM card, and no way to get it recognized on my XP or win 7 system.
Really, really stuck here, guys. I do have the androidsdk installed, if there is a way to get it to reboot. As it is, adb cannot see the device, so I am looking at a truly bricked phone.
And yes, this is a US phone, which is why the power button and home button are not mapped (I assume).
I am DESPERATE for some help here!

and while I am at it...
I WAS able to get into download mode with the shovel guy originally by using the 2 volume keys+power, usb (odin up), battery in, release power.
No more. No key combo works.
Totally bricked the Samsung, which is supposed to be impossible!

when you are on the i9000 rom the only button that will get you in download mode is the vol down

That's HUGE!
You, sir, are a gentleman, scholar, and all-round smart guy! How did I miss that? I coulda SWORN I was getting into download mode with both volume keys. I've never been so happy to see a little Dalek dude with a shovel in my LIFE. 2 minutes in the one-click installer and now I'm back in business!
Thanks for helping a terrified owner out, and preventing a trip to the AT&T store.

I cannot go to download mode
I have the same problem here. Stuck in the recovery mode after upgrade the froyo and had the orientation problem. How do you go into download mode or power reset or unknown upload mode? Any button combination doesnt seem to work for me.
How do I do?
Please HELP. I am struggling here
Thanks

the key to the i9000 rom/kernel button combo is VOL DOWN + using the USB trick. do not press vol up + down, just the down while you are plugging in the usb cable

i too am stuck in recovery mode. the only way i can get into download mode is by using both volume buttons. just holding the down button just sends me to revoery mode as well. how can i fix my phone in download mode?
nevermind, reinstalled 2.2 and it works now.

Eureka I got it...I think
I installed froyo 2.2 i9000 on my captivate and got stuck in recovery mode...power button doesnt select and when I hold down the up and down vol buttons I couldnt get the downloading icon anymore either. Then I remembered something from another post....
Home + Vol Down + Power = Downloading Icon
It worked for me....let me know if this helped....I'm officially unbricked.

Hey. I'm in the same boat. My Captivate has I9000 firmware running it and it won't run properly. I can't access the settings to enable USB debugging in order to boot in either Recovery or Download using adb and no button combination works for me. I can't use button combos to boot into either Recovery or Download mode.
Does anybody have any idea what is going on and how to fix this?

JPBentley-- Since the I9000 firmware is set to use physical buttons, and the Captivate doesn't contain any, once you get into recovery mode, you cannot get out. The standard Captivate key combinations to get into download mode do not work, as do the combinations to get into download mode via the I9000 firmware. Basically, you get to a dead end. Unless there is some way to flash the phone's ROM outside of download mode, which I doubt, your best bet is to return the phone for a replacement. After haggling around with AT&T for a while, they admitted that installing the I9000 ROM doesn't invalidate your warranty, so they should take it back. They did with mine, and now I'm running the official Froyo leak. Good luck with your new phone!

SOLUTION
For all those that are having this problem, Ive struggled with it & tried EVERY possible button combination & nothing worked.
The ONLY solutions I have found is to use a usb JIG. Take out the battery, sim card & sd card, plug in the Usb JIG & put the batter back in. Give it a couple of seconds & I'tll enter recovery mode without pushing any buttons. You dont even need to push the power button, it's that simple.
Here is an image of how to make one if you are electronically inclined, personally I am not so I found a local electronic parts store & they put on together for me.

If you want, you can also buy one online, I cant post a link becuase Im a new member but just search for "samsung usb jig" on ebay.com & youll find plenty.
shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=samsung+usb+jig&_sacat=See-All-Categories

yes, i think you need to build a jig or buy one online if you want to play with custom rom. you may not need it now, but you may need it just in case.

thx so much for your post

I have the same problem, i can get into recovery mode. I can also get to download mode but Odin doesnt see my phone and neither does adb. By pulling the battery with no buttons pushed it goes straight into recovery mode. Looks like I have a brick now. If anybody has any suggestions please let me know.

That's not even close to a brick. Are you using a usb port closest to the motherboard on your pc? Is your cable good? Make or buy a jig, that will put your phone into download mode.

[Q] captivate bricked with no download mode

Hi
first of all thank you for so much info.
I spend more than 10 hours looking for a solution on other posts but can't fins a solution.
my phone is bricked and i am not able to get to the download mode or the recovery. before I bricked it I was able to get the download mode with adb with since i tried odin, i have the phone --!-- computer
I am in canada so returning it would be a hassle. any help would be much appreciated to get to the download mode
thank you very much

Download Odin.
Take out the SIM, SD card, and battery. Launch Odin, replace the battery, and plug the USB cord in, and just press down on the volume up and down buttons.
This should boot it right into download mode, then flash with Odin.
This phone is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to brick.

man, i tried that maybe 50 times no kidding!
still no download mode

Hold the volume buttons first then plug in the usb. Thats what works for me. You have to have odin open first like he said.

just tried and still nothing....
if somebody is located in montreal, i would love to meet them to check that out

Having Odin open makes no difference if his button combo is not working. Unfortunately some people are not aware that there phone does not have the 3 button combo working.

what is your solution when you don t have the 3 button combo working?

The only thing you can do if there is no way to reach download mode is to contact At&t or samsung and see if they can repair the phone for you.
Have you tried using a different usb cable, someone mentioned that some USB cables dont work right with the captivate, try the one that came with the phone.

I know odin doesnt matter, but if he is going to flash with odin it helps to have it open first is all I meant. As far as that screen and no three button combo I think you are done... bricked... sorry, dont take my word for it though.

I could enter download mode with key combination before applying Cog's Beta5.5...
I've returned my cappy for exchange.

I am trying with the cable that came with the phone. I don't have another one.
I just bought this phone out of ebay. I will give it this week end to try and find a solution.
I really don't see any as of now but we'll see...
I will try return the phone to the ebay seller as i asked him before buying it if you could go into download mode! and he said yes!
man, I hope i find a solution!

what happens when you try and start your phone normally -- boot screen loop, anything?
Can you get into recovery mode?

when I try to start it normal I get the phone--!--computer
I am sure I tried recovery mode without any success. I am telling I spent so much time on this forum that my wife is going to start being jalous
How do you get to recovry mode again? I tried so many things, that I don't remember

you can't get the phone to be recognized on your computer? Could do ADB to boot into download.
But the battery trick should work.
Pull the sim, external sdcard, and battery.
Hold down the volume buttons and plug in the USB
Then jam the battery back in.
It might take a few times to get it.. but it should get into download mode. I just restored mine doing this trick when it was stuck on this screen.
Really we need to have a youtube vid of this technique

Hold down both volume buttons then hold down the power button until the boot s screen flashes two times then release the power button.

BTW - although it is a LOOOOONG video.. this might help folks out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iefapF1yZhE&feature=related

Not sure if it will help, but I've also read that you should use the actual motherboard usb ports and not a hub or any kind of "external" ports (i.e. the ports on the front of the tower)

i did all that stuff.
I ended up returning it to the ebay seller who will send me another captivate.
thanks guys

My download was working on cog 2.2 beta before i flashed back to stock using odin. Now when I try to enter download mode i just see the charging symbol. So the only thing that has changed is software. Could odin3 remove my download mode? What can i do?

Its been a rough night for me. I did a Nandroid backup which turned out I needed to restore after something else failed. After restore I did not have what I expected.
Anyway, to make a long story short, I ended up in a situation that no matter what I did, I could not get into download mode. Only recovery.
The good news is that after trying several different things, I finally found I had the original base rom I was using still on the SD card (even though I had done a Master Clear). I guess maybe the only thing that will empty the SD card is to format it.
I have no idea what I would have done had I not had a Clockwork zip on there.

[Q] Is my captivate bricked? Please help

Here's how it happened:
I was trying to swap Kernels by following instructions on cognition thread. I flashed the stock kernel and tried to apply the update.zip, and it gave me errors. I tried to reboot and the ATT screen came up and wouldnt boot. I was able to get it into download mode using adb, so I flashed the JI6 kernel. Now it won't go into download or recovery mode (just ATT screen).
Here's what I have tried:
- volume up/down + power buttons. released power button and recovery mode wouldn't come up.
- with power off, pressed volume up/down. Did not enter download mode.
- power + volume up. got a screen saying power reset or unknown upload mode?
- tried just hitting power and letting it sit for a long time to see if it would boot, but it just stays at ATT screen.
- adb reboot download (with device plugged into usb) - said device not found.
Is there something else I can try to get it into recovery or download mode? I figure I can flash the stock PDA if I can get that far. Is there something that a phone repair shop can do (special software, etc.) to help?
Any help would be appreciated.
Jason.

Have you read the READ ME BEFORE FLASHING sticky on the dev forum?
But.. try this:
Turn off your phone.
Take out the SIM, any external SDCard, and Battery
Plug in your USB Cable
Turn on Odin 1 Click - OTA JH7 Back to Stock
Hold down the +/- VOLUME Buttons on the phone.
Pop the battery back in - should go directly into DOWNLOAD mode using this method. If it goes to the gray "Battery Charging" picture.. unplug, take out the battery, and try it again.
And you had USB De-bugging turned on before you were doing all this (I'm guessing yes) Hopefully the above works.
BTW whenever it goes south like this .. better to just go back to stock and try again rather then potentially making it worse

thank you! That got me into download mode. I was able to flash back to stock. I was scared for a while.
Jason.

NP.. next time though read the Q&A sticky - should point you in the right direction a lil' quicker
And if you plan on to keep flashing new ROMs? Def go there first it should point you to different posts to keep you from having this issue in the future.

[Q] all apps are crashing

I installed Amimod that lets me change the transitions between apps, i ran it to change it to a cross fading transition and it said i had to reboot later to make the changes take effect. I kept that and mind and used some other apps. They all didn't load and gave me the "com.xxx.xxxx is unable to continue" type deal with the force quit button.
So i restarted my phone and now launcher loads but the pop ups come saying "com.android.phone is unable etc" or "com.android.media is unable...". There is no status bar and the phone doesn't lock. After about five minutes of trying to press the force quit button, nothing happens. I went into recover mode and cleared my cache but that didn't help.
[tldr] I can get my phone into download mode but is it possible to open the phone as a root folder on my computer so i could uninstall Animod and any changes it made? I don't want to master reset.

ROM reflash is only option.

I reflashed using odin but now its stuck in a boot loop with the att logo. When i plug it into the usb it loops the loading sign and the battery sign. What now?

Have you used odin before?
Which odin did you use?
What build is your phone?
Can you still get into download mode?

I have not used odin before this was my first time.
I used the one that is prepackaged with the .pit and .tar file "I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe"
My phone was stock android that i rooted.
Cant get it into download with any button combo.

Under your battery left side on the white sticker. Your phone had a build number. Mine is 1008. 10 meaning 2010 08 meaning august. What is yours
Also tell me exactly what you have tried to get into dl mode

Build number 1011, and now my phone wont even turn on. When i hold the power button it is unresponsive, and its not dead i charged it.

Looks like you will need to try to force the DL mode with the odin instructions or get a jig and see if that works

Download mode
remove all sd, sim, bat
Put bat back in
Hold volume up abd down
Plug in usb
In it works great, if not usb jig
Going forward do not use odin one click use this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&po

i got it into download mode using the button combos (battery out then hold vol up and down etc) and used the odin 1 click downloader for captivate, but it failed twice.
It got to the point where I had to buy some resistors to make a USB jig. The jig worked fine and put it into download mode but Odin still failed...Twice more. Now my phone wont even show the logo when i hold the powerbutton and the jig doesnt seem to work anymore. Its not the battery because i charged it for a full night before i tried jigging it again.
I would try the non one click odin method now except that i cannot get my phone into download mode.
I have no idea what to do now, it seems like its completely bricked.

At this point (if I'm able to replace it) would the workers at samsung or att be able to access my data at all? I only had the phone for 3 months. And would my warranty be void for rooting/flashing?

Hypothetically, yes and yes, but the reality is they will likely just wipe it and reflash it without ever looking at what's on it. Just tell them something went wrong when you tried to upgrade to Froyo via Kies. That's happened to enough people that they probably won't question it.

[Q] Odin3 not working

I had been using my Captivate for a while, and used Kies mini to upgrade to Froyo, and everything had been working fine until randomly the phone wouldn't boot.
It would take forever to go from the AT&T home screen, and would lag through the galaxy s intro, and then stop.
I tried to use Recovery mode, and it didn't work, so I tried to use Odin3 to flash back to stock.
Now it won't go past the Logo screen, and recovery mode doesn't work, but download mode still does. I have tried Odin one click, and Odin three click v 1.0, 1.3, and 1.7. I've used the .tar and the .pit from Breakin' Ranh's [Guide] How to Recover a Captivate to Stock 2.1 Eclair JH7
It keeps getting stuck in a boot loop after odin, no matter what I do.
Any suggestions?
Using SGH-i897
1007

first boot takes along time to build new files and delvik.. are you sure you waited long enough?
keep trying to get into recovery. try holding the buttons a little after the screen comes on.
factory wipe/ clear phone/

It keeps going to the AT&T logo screen for like 10 seconds, and then goes to the spinning wheel/battery charging screen, and then reboots.
Can't get into recovery mode through it, still.

a different .tar package.... dunno about that one..
or flash to 2.2 tar package

I have to use rom manager to get to recovery on my captivate

I've already tried formatting both cards, and it seems like nothing happens whenever I click on format.

you dont need rom manager....ever

I can get into download mode (only with a JIG tho) but when I go back to stock with Odin (or try to) it's just stuck in the AT & T logo screen, it doesn't go beyond that, how do I get into recovery mode, press both Volume buttons and Power button, when the AT&T screen comes release the Power button right?
Need some help please!

you might need to flash the 3 button fix but keep trying, if you get into recovery clear data and cache. but first boot always takes a long time as it has to build delvak cache and more... try flashing again, with the 3 button fix att rom.

3 button fix? to get into download mode you mean? I CAN get into download mode (with the jig) but not into recovery mode :-s
I have no idea how to flash it without being in the Stock rom, any help?

download is 2 buttons
recovery is 3 button.
some phones loose the 3 button combo to get into recovery.
in that case you need to flash the stock rom with 3 button fix.
it is for Att only so i dont know much more.

After Odin, I was in a boot loop yesterday. I plan on writing it up in a new thread to see if someone can help me understand what happened (cause I have Odined and modded two different cappys without issue) but here is how I was able to recover.
After Odin was complete and said successful, it reboots the phone.
Upon reboot I was in the ATT boot loop. After Odin, I lost both three button recovery and 2 button download (both of these worked before Odin). I don’t have a JIG so no way of getting to download mode.
I read to try the following sequence after reading it other posts.
1. Pull battery, sim, SD card and unplug the USB. Let it sit for a minute.
2. Plug in the USB cable.
3. Holding all three buttons, plug in the battery.
4. The battery charge (grey) should be seen on the phone. After the phone screen goes black twice let go of the power button.
This worked for me once, after several attempts.
Now that the phone booted back up, I did a master clear with Odin.
Upon reboot right back in to the ATT boot loop screen.
Was not having any luck with the steps above after several attempts.
Here is how I eventually recovered.
1. I opened Odin on the PC.
2. Pulled the battery and USB for a minute or two then replaced it and plugged in the USB cable.
3. After few cycles of black battery icon and spinning wheel, the batter icon turned green (like normal when you turn your phone off and plug it in). Sometimes this only took two cycles and sometimes many cycles (or a few minutes).
4. Once the battery icon was green, I hit the power button.
5. As soon as you see the ATT screen, pull the USB cable and the phone booted (if I left the USB plugged in, the phone went back to the black battery screen after the ATT screen).
6. I copied the correct Update.zip and Rom to my SD card.
From here I tried to boot into recovery via ADB.
The phone rebooted but back into the ATT boot loop.
Following the second set of steps above (2-3 times), I was finally able to get into Clockwork recovery.
From here I flashed Phoenix Unleashed.
After the flash rebooted and the phone seems to be running fine now (with the exception that I lost my 3 and 2 button combos, but that will be for a different thread).
From the Power Menu, I can get into download mode or Recovery no prob.
Not sure if this is something that will work for others but wanted to throw it out there just in case.

It never booted for me, so this is what I did
For anoyone that might find this thread, Odin 1 Click didn't work for me, so I flashed back into stock using Odin (not the 1 click version, another one), here are some links that proved to be very helpful (I ended up Flashing to Serependity 6.4):
