So this morning I was checking out the new choices in my Froyo leak - rooted Captivate, I clicked on every one of them to see what it is and then I clicked on one that said something like user accounts, well ever since then my phone has been a black screen only displaying the top clock and a no signal bar. What should I do next? Unfortunately Im stuck at work with no programs. So Im wondering what would you do, which Odin should I use? Ill be checkin in cause at least I can do this and plan fixing my phone for later
Im guessing you tried pulling the battery?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
sure did tried the reboot screen.
and the other thing, now the phone wont go into sleep mode so my battery is slowly dying too
try to boot into recovery and clear out the cache...
I did that too and it clears and then i reboot then it goes right back to black screen
The same thing happened to me, but I wasn't digging around in the settings. Like previously mentioned, I booted into recovery, and cleared cache/factory wipe, and it booted back fresh. Luckily, I had a Titanium Backup from a few hours before it happened, so I didn't really lose anything.
I had something like this too. Can you get into Download mode and use Odin to return to stock rom? It took me several tries before Odin worked.
Well I still haven't heard anyone who has completely bricked there samsung captivate yet so I think you'll be alright. Just to be the 1 click Odin when you get home.
I'm pretty new myself at this But I think the only way were really screwed Is if we kill the bootloader.

i will try when i get home, im stuck at work unfortunately, at least i know im not the only one, i was also fooling with settings
thank you
Theres been a few people that have fully bricked their captivates... Including me.
If you got your captivate within the last couple weeks be careful using odin with a froyo kernel. Check the Q&A thread for a post titled "phone-pc something" (Using my phone otherwise I'd provide a link)

I've been lurking these threads for a couple of months. Got tired of waiting for AT&T. So I took the plunge and flashed Firefly 2.2. I'm really liking the experience so far.
I did have one minor hiccup after flashing, but I figured it out. After flashing firefly I noticed that the Ext filesystem is not installed by default. So after installing I booted into clockwork and selected the options for converting to ext4. That seemed to go ok, but after I rebooted, I did not have su privileges anymore. I finally figured out that the clockwork recovery had an option to apply root privileges. Everything has been good after that.

Welcome to the wonderful world of custom roms!

I actually ordered one of the USB jigs just in case I ran into problems. I didn't flash until it came in. Turns out I didn't need it, but at least I have one available in case something goes wrong with future flashes.

Bricking usually occurs when the flash is interrupted, like in the event that you pull the cable in the middle of the flash. I've actually never had a bad flash so far, and the vast majority of bad flashes can be recovered from by dropping into download mode (either with the three button combo or a physical jig).
You should check to see if your phone has the three button combo, since some of the builds have it disabled for whatever reason. You can find the build number under the battery, it's a 4 digit number like 1008.

Well I'm not quite there yet, but I'm REAL close.
Still have a couple of lingering questions about the whole process.
I'm rooted, flashed CWM, and have backed-up my current stock ROM. I've done a general app/data bu with Titanium.
Haven't ever done any sideloading related changes (the sqllite/ADB setting change thing), and I'm not sure if that affects how thorough the titanium bu was, or whether the sideloading thing will need to be done post-flash for titanium to completely restore my stuff.
I still haven't done all the requisite reading on the whole flashing process, but will do so as I get closer.
Encouraging results from other first-timers in this thread are certainly pushing me in the right direction. ;-)

I finally flashed my first ROM this weekend as well. Have really enjoyed SuperNova so far.
It looks like I've done the impossible. I was running cm 7 gb on it and like a dummy went back to stock. Tried flashing continuum 3.1 and phone got stuck in a vibration loop.
Was able to get into d/l mode with jig and tried to odin stock again. Phone screen went all green and odin was stuck at rfs. Can still get into d/l mode with jig but now phone just shuts off while running odin.
I think my biggest issue is that I didn't follow the steps properly and repartition while going back to stock.
I just ordered an inspire 4g, hopefully I will be able to get the cappy up and running again so I can sell one of them later.
Anyone have any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Next time just use the one click package
Have you tried pulling the battery for a minute or so before putting the phone in download mode?
I've tried every method I could find. I tried with odin one click but don't think I have everything downloaded that I need to make it all work properly as far as the put files and everything.
I tried finding it to try it but have had no luck. When I tried odin I used a version that I've had since buying the phone. Its a very old version of stock that I think I got from ponack.net last yr some time.
thank you for the reply's. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Will let you know how it goes, thank you for the help.
Tried method above with no success. No biggie, I'm going to send it to a guy to try to get it fixed so I have it as a backup in case I don't like the inspire.
The wife is ready to strangle me over this. Good thing she loves me.
Thank you all for your help. If I get it fixed and like the inspire enough I might end up selling it our keeping it for a play toy.

Sounds like you're trying the wrong thing. The one-click odin stock doesn't require you to download any extra files, that's why it's a one-click solution. Everything is already packaged into the program, so all you have to do is connect your phone to the computer in download mode and hit the start button in odin, and the software takes care of everything else to get it back to factory defaults.

Weird, never heard of a situation where you could get into download mode but couldn't recover your phone. Keep us up to date about whether you could get it fixed, yeah?
So My phone got stuck at the FactoryFS part while flashing. Battery pull=Soft brick with message (phone)---!----(Computer) screen and "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. after like 5 hours of trying to get download mode to work, It just didnt. tried many different stock images. so, after being totally pissed I noticed that usb showed up while my phone was at the phone----computer screen. Tried to flash and BAM! my phones back to normal. So did you guys know you can flash from the soft brick screen? or am I totally late?

It's been known for a long time that the only time you're hardbricked is when the phone shows NO signs of life at all. The phone-PC screen is just "forced" download mode.

odin isnt recognizing my phone at all, i installed kies but even that doesnt recognize my phone. i thought kies installed the drivers, but is there a better way?
I was trying to update my mom's Infuse to ICS, then all of a sudden this (attached) happened. Heimdall had just given me the libusb.dll error (I needed to update the bootloader cause I kept getting rainbows in CWM), so I was unplugging the phone so I could get the right drivers.
I have a horrible feeling I did something very wrong. I can't imagine why what I was doing would have caused this though, since the cmd had gone back to a default state after giving the error.
Is there any way to fix this?? Thanks a ton in advance!

can you get it into download mode...?
if so run the one click again and you might have to check the box for bootloaders, on the second run...meaning I would run it twice...
It does that immediately on power up. Doesn't even get to the Samsung screen. Odin will recognize the phone, but when I try to flash a return to stock package (which I used earlier perfectly fine), it says the md5 is invalid.
Like I said, I never even got to the point of installing the bootloader since I forgot about the drivers. Are you saying I should install the drivers and try to flash the bootloader again?
Thanks so much for the help! I've never had this much trouble with a phone before
EDIT: I'm a dumbass. since I couldn't see the screen, I forgot to press up again after entering download mode. Odin is now in the process of installing the aforementioned return to stock package. And I think it worked!
You have no idea how grateful I am of you for pointing that out! I feel kind of dumb for not trying it, but when the screen looked like that I could only assume there was no functionality!
THANKS AGAIN! Times a million!

First of all, every once in a while, she asks me if there are any updates yet.
Second, there's only a short list of insignificant bugs mentioned in the ICS topics.
I flashed GB on it a while back, and I figured since CWM and everything was set up already I wouldn't have a problem; flash, reboot, flash again, done. Unfortunately, it wasn't flashing the second time for whatever reason, and I figured it had something to do with the now half-functional CWM.
Anyway, to those of you who weren't unreasonably judging me, and rather decided to help: Thank you, the phone is now back up and running!

Thanks for reading. hope there is a solution to this
Can you get back into download mode. If so then you should be able to Odin the old jb software and it should be ok.

if by download mode do you mean the power + home + down volume button? (sorry i don't know terminology well) then yes i can still get into that mode.
