I want to start out by saying I'm really sorry if I'm asking something stupid but I am a complete newbie and do intend to learn as much of this on my own as I can....
I took my brand new AT&T Tilt and I connected it to my Vista Laptop when it was charged fully and used the built-in Windows Mobile Device Center to do a quick connect (like a guest connect where files can be transferred but stuff isn't synched) and ran kaiser_HardSPL which gave me a white screen rather than the expected tri-color screen.
I found the solution for the white screen and did a reset by pushing the stylus into the small hole space on the bottom of the Tilt and then connected it again to my laptop and copied over JumpSPL1.56-KAIS to the phone. I then ran that app from the phone and the tri-color screen showed up. When 'USB' showed up on the screen I disconnected the USB cable for about 10 seconds and plugged it back in. The text 'USB' stayed on the screen and nothing happened after that. I then used the stylus again to reset the PDA again and I am now at my current step.
Am I ready to put a ROM on now? I'm so new to this and I definitely want to learn just not sure what's next....is my CID unlocked? Did everything go correctly or did I miss out on some important step?
What should I do next if I want to put a new ROM on? Whatever help anyone can give me would be very much appreciated.
Looking forward to becoming an active and contributing member to this great community!

Quick question, and I'm not trying to be funny or anything, but did u read?
Thanks for the quick reply -- I did read the different threads that I thought would be dealing with this but was unsure of what to do after I did the white screen fix. The white screen fix said there was a way to test if it worked by checking a splash screen but when I ran that it said make sure you've already done HardSPL first otherwise it can brick your phone so I wasn't sure if I did actually do that step properly or not (of installing HardSPL).
I'd appreciate any help you could give me. Thank you again for taking the time to read my post!

I can answer that!
I apologize for missing something obvious -- could anyone please point me to which thread I should look at?
Thank you.
No your device is still not ready.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061
You're on the right track. From what I gather you can indeed flash something at that stage on SSPL or continue on to flash HardSPL (which is what I believe you intended to do!). Get back to the stage you were at and, from the thread in which you found JumpSPL, flash HardSPL onto your phone. After that point you are totally ready to become a slave to dutty's roms...
Look here and ye shall find: HardSPL will not install - WHITE SCREEN: SOLVED
Well, first correctly install HardSPL, then go on flashing a ROM. You may find my FAQ usable. See my signature.
Nono... one more step to go.
After disconnect and connect usb flash hardspl then softreset.

Already corrected it. But you were faster ^^
Thank you to all of you -- you're all being very helpful!
I ran the flash-hardSPL (ran the file in that folder called KaiserCustomRUU) and it gets all the way to where it is updating the rom image to the kaiser-hardSPL version and it shows 0% on my phone and 0% on the PC and after about a minute or so it says ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR ... it instructs me to remove my battery for 3 seconds, put it back in and try again.
I've done this twice now and keep getting the same error -- any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you once again.
The only thing I can think about is that your phone is simlocked.
Do you have the usb cable connected straight to the pc or do you use a usbhub?

Oh yes, that's true. I didn't realize I had to unlock my phone before I could start this process...I guess I confused it with CID unlocking or something.
I must have missed the part in the newbie FAQ about phones needing to be sim unlocked for all this stuff to work.
I guess I will have to get it unlocked first! Very much appreciate the prompt replies.
oh i just realized my SIM wasn't even in the phone while I was doing this (since I took it out during the white screen fix) -- would putting the SIM back in still create the same problem if my phone isn't unlocked?

You mean CID-locked, right?
Perhaps you could try another CustomRUU. Check this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334890

No, a SIM-lock does not affect flashing.
So you ran JumpSPL from your phone, saw USB displayed on the screen, unplugged the usb cable, replaced it and then ran the hardspl provided from the thread I linked you to? There is no soft resetting going on between seeing USB on the screen and initiating the hardspl flash.

Hi arexben,
I actually was an idiot and soft reset after unplugging and then plugging in the USB and not seeing any change on the screen.
Now if I put JumpSPL on my PDA and try to run it, it won't run saying it can't be opened because its either not signed w/ a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found.
Thank you so much for everyone trying to help me ... so to clarify, my phone has not been unlocked from AT&T and I am assuming I should still be able to get this stuff working.
Thanks again!

Before I get flamed for not posting this in the ROM's thread, I did already and "gadgetdad" was very helpful in the ROMs thread. Unfortunately the thread isn't that active right now and I am kinda stuck.
So here is goes, if I could get some help, any would be 100% appreciated
I recently flashed to L26 V3 (I am giving you 100% of all the info I know to hopefully give you all enough info). Right after this, I switched over to the new Alex v6.01 ROM (I have an AT&T Tilt, live in the states). More specifically the Cube version I downloaded from his 4share account with the radio 1.65.14.06. It apparently was a bad download or something because it DID 100% complete flashing, however it took forever (20 minutes to customize) and after that when I choose AT&T auto settings it gives me a "Error Database" popup.
So I figured, guess it messed up, will try again (I was going to try the lite one this time though). Unfortunately now my phone wont sync either, active sync says "ActiveSync can not connect to the Windows Mobile powered Device. To troubleshoot click ok".
So,
1. thought was Restart PC. No go, same issue
2. Clear storage...(have Rom re-customize) all same issues, no go
3. "gadgetdad" had me try finding a point during the ROM install to "reset it" so it wouldn't finish customizing the ROM (tried soft reseting and hard reseting in about 15 spots...ROM kept re-installing...no go
4. Also tried MTTY (can not recognize the device as USB what so ever).
So here is my whoa is me, I am on call this week (great time to have a ROM flashing addiction) with this phone, am I screwed? Anything can be done? Any help 100% appreciated.
Thanks all and thanks for trying "gadgetdad",

Power down the phone. Hold in the camera button and hit power button and see if you can enter in to bootloader. If you can reflash with sd card.

Thanks a million man...And thanks for gadgetdad who tried to help so much he broke his phone with me
No worries man, Shows there is a ton more to learn when it comes to flashing. You saved me by showing that you dont have to use the micro card once in bootload. Learning experience all around, and now alex knows there is an error on his new build
Hello to all, I am a noob here and have tried to adhere to all of the demands to do research and not post ?'s, but I am at a wall.
I have a Tilt and I ran the sim unlock and I was using the Sleuth 3.0 on it. Everything was working fine. I added the Iunlock cab and it worked fine as well. I then tried to install the icontacts, but i would have to go to program files and icontacts file in order to use I contacts. Well, wanna be innovative me thinks to try and move that file so it would replace something. I copied it to the windows appbuttons folder and deleted the regular contacts and nothing happened, then I put it in the start up folder and no luck, then I simply copied it to the windows folder not at the bottom where all of the extra files are. After that I tried to reset it and now all that I get is the bootloader screen. it reads as follows:
KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.Olipof
CPLD-8
At the bottom, it shows either USB or Serial depending on if the usb is plugges up.
I tried running the sim unlock again and the dutty rom and both load to 100% but it goes back to the same screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please help and thank you so much.

You could hard reset if you altered something in WM to cause it not to boot...hopefully
I tried the hard reset and same thing I flashes for a very split second loading and then goes back to the screen.
Hard reset is both item buttons above IE and Mail with soft reset correct?

U need to hold the stylus in the hole longer, untl a message pops up on the page.
If it does not hardreset or help u, do what zeezee told u - flash a new rom.
OK, thank you all for you diligent assistance. I have tried the hard reset and it does the same thing...goes to black for about 2 seconds, then for a very split second goes to a grey screen and flashes loading then back to the bootloader.
I will try a search for the people stuck in bootloader and try flashing a OEM ROM, I will let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

Before you try the dangerous MTTY method, you could try refresh a oem rom w/ the SD method
ok, I am flashing an OEM rom now, but what does it mean to do it with the sd method?

From youre sd card (memorycard), look it up in wiki. Moust of us flashaholics keeps oure rom on oure memorycard and just rename the rom/bootsplash/radio or whateva and place it in root then activate bootloader -> flash. This is an alternative for not using usb cable, pc and active sync
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash
ok thanks, but am i correct in understanding that to do that I have to use the phone to access the mem card?
My issue is that the only screen I get is bootloader, no nothing else. I can't even turn it off. I can take the battery out to get a black screen, but any action to try something will take it back to the bootloader screen. But for some reason, it still allows me to flash the ROM, I think. I flash it on my pc and then my phone goes to the grey screen where it shows the % of progress. It reaches 100% and the pc tells me to click finished and I do then it goes back to the bootloader.

yes, just use a card adapter or something to acess youre card (if you cant connect via active sync) then copy the rom over and follow the steps in wiki. Beeing stuck in the bootloader some times aint the worse place to be stuck

I don't mean to argue with you here and you are right about research threads, but honestly it's easy to get caught up in frustration with the amount of information. Some authors are good at documentation and some skip steps along the way or extra links are in the threads.
I just switched over to Gullum's Diamond Rom and was I nervous upgrading "Yes" and did I read much that I could "Yes". Were the instructions to HardSPL, Jump were a little unclear "Yes" so people asking questions are legit to a degree but we shouldn't also be eagar to pounce on...

I agree with some of your remarks. Yes myself and others have jumped down people's throats yelling, "Search." One thing you have to remember though this is a developers forum, not a novice forum to help people making there phone look "cool."
Going into flashing / upgrading / modifying, you have to have a little bit of knowledge or time using Windows Mobile / Windows in General devices and machines.
Usually reading some background information can be a world a difference before jumping into this sort of thing.
I found the problem to stuck in bootloader. Thanks to all who have posted threads.

Aboslutely man. You go take care of your family. I will pray for God to guide you all through this trying time.
On the Kaiser note, I found after further studying of some threads, a solution to my issue where I was stuck in bootloader. I think this will apply to anyone that is stuck in bootloader with the usb/serial showing at the bottom and when they try to flash a new rom is goes to 100%, but the are still stuck on the boot screen.
After reading more threads, it appeared that there was some sort of disconnect between the usb and the phone. Since my PC was stating that it was successfully completing the flash, that shows that it was not getting any type of error from the phone. After reading a thread I simply blew in my tilt usb port and used my stylus to try to straighten it out as one of your post state to ensure the usb connection is straightor it may give mtty an issue.
Once I messed with my USB port, the phone came back to life and everything was fine. Everything was rebooted and all my info was lost however. I was even able to successfully flash a new ROM.
In closing, if anyone is stuck in bootloader mode and their flash goes to 100% and doesn't fix their issue, tell them to clean and straighten their usb connection.

So I been trying to fix my friends Captivate for a few days now.
I posted a video a few days ago. I did get it into download mode with my jig. However everything froze while I used the 1 click captivate heimdall to flash my phone. (It did flash but some things did not work)
Anyhow now My phone has "Phone - ! - PC"
No download mode, the jig sends it back to this screen too. I tried so many button combinations. I really don't want to send my phone in to some website. I was so freakin close...
Please help
My Evo 3D is laughing at me and the captivate.
I pull out my battery and let it discharge for about 15 secs and hold volume buttons then connect USB cable and finally insert battery while still holding volume buttons of course, it'll get you into download mode. Never failed me. I've had my phone not even turn on the screen, it stays dark during a screwed up flash with odin. I then flash UCKI2 with bootloaders and then flash to gingerbread ROM I like. If you plan on installing custom ROMs your phone will semi-brick numerous times. If its showing a phone, exclamation mark and computer with a message saying firmware flashing failed. That is perfect! Just make sure you have Samsung USB drivers and simply flash using odin, it'll show COM and a number like 5 (COM5) then just flash. I'd advise you to remove any external SD card and restart before using odin it acts up. Hope this helps

The "Phone - ! - PC" will be your download mode screen. Just download from there.
However, if a flash goes foul somehow, you may be left with the infamous "phone--/!\--PC" screen.
If you see this, don't panic. Although it's not technically the download mode screen, many users (including myself) have been able to successfully flash from that screen. Give it a try.

Let me reiterate cause it will save you the same thing happening, reboot your computer, be connected to internet, remove SD card and then open odin and then connect your phone and flash otherwise high likelihood of something going wrong again. I'm used to it but its frustrating the first couple times.

100% - I had similar experience with my first flash but after a few goes at it and 3 or 4 "soft-bricks" all has been great!
Well when I plug it in Windows 7 doesn't even detect it anymore. But the phone will go back to that screen when the USB is connected.
Nothing in ODIN/Heimdall pops up...
Please help..
It seems I got it in download mode this morning with the jig. Just trying to get my damn pc to read it. Sometimes the right drivers work sometimes they don't. ugh
Connection issue in my sig
Any chance you have another pc to try it with? Or possibly another cable?
Going to try one click on ubuntu...
Ive had issues in the past before with certain USB ports on my PC not reading the phone.
Try plunging in your phone to a different USB port and it can make a world of difference with the driver issue (even if you have to plug it in the back of your PC).
try one click unbrick in the android development page

Are you running x64? If so are you running the 64 bit drivers?
I also had the same issue a couple of times, which is technically called a "soft brick" . You could resolve this issue using ODIN flasher and reverting back to stock. Now coming to USB problem in windows, this is a known issue with windows (especially Vista and Win7) and samsung!! The remedy which I found is as follows :-
1.Disconnect the phone from USB
2.Remove samsung USB driver software from your windows PC.
3.Reboot and then navigate to C:\Program Files\ (assuming that C:\ is your windows OS partition)
Delete "samsung" folder.
4.Download latest samsung USB Drivers for captivate and install.
5.Reboot the phone.
6.Open ODIN and connect your Phone to PC.
It should detect the COM Port by now. Try this and get back
"Thanks" , If I helped U
Hello and thanks in advance, FIRST THINGS FIRST I have searched and have spent close to 48 hours reading and attempting to resolve this through KDZ_UPD and Reflashing CM7. Im having trouble with my phone trying to reflash the V21E baseband using KDZ. When i launch KDZ software update it only looks on port 1 and 2 then I get the "Phone Was Not Found" error. I powered off one day and pulled the battery then reset to find the "No Service" and ? for my battery. I was using CM7 for about Two months prior without any problems when this happened. Now i am currently back to stock 2.3.3 with stock recovery. From what i understand when i hold both volume buttons i should see three items pop up in my device manager however i only see nvidia usb boot recovery yada yada yada.... and that is only when i hold both volume buttons. While holding the volume down button it goes into S/W update but nothing in device manager ...... does this mean its bricked (I know some people say its not possible but not possible bad luck runs in the family) and if not how would i go about getting it to connect?
P.S. I have tried several different machines some xp pro(and a vm) and some win 7 ultimate, and several different cables on each...
Please help and offer some advise before i loose my marbles!
Thanks in advance
Also if this is in the wrong place i apologize i didn't want to resurrect an obsolete thread.
for ****s and giggles, click on the "show hidden hardware" checkmark within the device manager. Maybe there are borked and need to be removed / reinstalled on the XP install?

Nothing there out of the usual... thanks for the quick reply. do you think I'm bricked?
Ok so i had somewhat of a breakthrough... i connected my phone and it found the lg port 4 under device manager.
So i started KDZ then about half way through it disconnected...... sending a bunch of authentication errors and corrupting my V21E_00.kdz file...
now it wont connect through any cables i try.... any thoughts?
For readers with input I am in a similar situation but am getting the bootloader up and LG logo but am also unable to enter recovery... so advice pertaining to the OP prior to the device going link dead is also valuable and sought after.

Ok for reasons unknown i had a brilliant idea which worked..
I had an mp3 player years ago that for some reason i would not connect to the computer unless (dont ask me why) I would put it in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes.
Anyways i figured id try this and it worked. all 3 devices in device manager popped up, set the cpu priority for KDZ to high and flashed the baseband!
Booted up, just fine however, i reboot the device and now i am in the same boat with the no service. going to try to flash cm7 and see if anythings different...
Ok so i flashed cm7 and the baseband worked on first boot up but after restart it was unknown again..
Can anyone confirm this is probably hardware?
Thanks!
