im having hard time to get the phone out reboot loop att. i put my phone in download mode then right click run admin odin3 one click and plug it then start when it done it said RESET and my phone reboot but it keep looping at ATT logo. any idea what wrong.?
Yea, you 'soft bricked' your phone. I did that myself 2 weeks ago. Can you still get into download mode? It might help us, but what build # is your phone (the number is underneath the battery with all the other info), its either 1005, 1006, 1007, 1008, 1009, 1010. If you have a 1010, you might need to make a jig.

Try this
Open odin
remove batery out of your phine as well as sim and ext sd
Plug in usb
While holding volume up and down put batery back in
Hourly you will go into download mode and odin will recognize your phone

hmmm thats very odd, try mcord's method, i was able to do that method once when i looped my phone. i think your phone doesnt like odin 1-click. so its either a 1009 or 1010 build. look at my method once you get your phone into download mode again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36
And how is it that once you unplug your jig, it starts to loop again? can you elaborate more on that? Because the jig is there to get it into download mode and then you plug your phone into the computer and then use odin.

No problemo, I had a feeling that would do the trick. I really need to make my guide a sticky for all the new captivate users because the recent build numbers 1009 and 1010 are just not odin 1 click compatible. If you have any problems, don't hesitate to ask the forum or just private message me. And you're very welcome, glad to see another unbricked captivate in the world haha.

I was updating to froyo using the Odin installer and for some reason it stalled. I waited 10 minutes and nothing happened, it was stuck on DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!! aaand being the genius that I am reset the Odin installer and phone...now I get nothing. The phone is completely unresponsive, no ! screen or anything.
Am I screwed?
edit: sorry for posting this in the wrong forum, please move to Q&A if a mod gets a chance.
close EVERYTHING, take everything out of your phone (sim, battery, and sd card.) then put the battery in but DONT TURN IT ON. have your usb cable ready. hold the two volume buttons down, and then plug in your usb cable to the phone (it should be plugged into your comp) WITHOUT PRESSING ANY POWER BUTTONS. if you get back into downloader mode, you are fine and can then restore using odin or the i click restore
hmmm, well try this take out the battery sim card and ex sd if u got one, open odin, put the battery back in and plug the usb in while holdin the volume buttons, aka download mode... sometimes it doesnt work the first time just try it a couple more...
I did this with my phone. If nothing comes on screen when you plug in the USB cable and entering recovery and download mode don't work, then take thye phone back to AT&T, they accepted my bricked phone back. Just act dumb like you have no clue why it's broken.
I have a similar issue, however I can still get into the downloader..but it just hangs when restoring on factoryfs.rfs....
Any suggestions on that?

It seems my phone is fully bricked, I tryed the download method with taking out everything. Nothing turns on, its completley blackscreened. I did have it working, but now its completley unresponsive.

Are you doing the method where you remove the battery first, hold the volume buttons (without power) and plug into USB? That *SHOULD* get you into download mode- if not, maybe check a different USB port.
Up and running, with Froyo to boot! Thanks again and good luck to those with problems. Thanks for the welcome again and I've made a donation in the site for saving my ass $500
HELP please HELP !!
I upgrade to Froyo and then wanted to go back to 2.1. The problem now I can only boot into download mode, but I tried to load other roms (one click, odin i9000 and Froy) and nothing happens! need help please!

Can you clarify? Did you successfully upgrade to froyo or incur and error somewhere in the process. When you say that "nothing happens" what exactly does that mean?

Upgrade to Froyo successfully. Want to go back to 2.1 after using One Click Odin JF6 rom, it never ends. Following on from here, probe with OCD Froyo, eclair, odin and any rom could do to finish flashing. He stays in zImage and shows the status bar.
Any idea I can try?

This may seem elementary but I noticed your tag says your location says Buenos Aires. Are you sure you have a Captivate and not an i9000?

Guys, good news! I recovered the phone and install Froyo. My error was that it came to how to download and then disconnect the USB and reconnected.
Joe K Captivate works perfect in Argentina because it uses the same bands as AT & T, send me a friend who lives in NYC, obviously unlocked.
Thank you all for your concern, I return to live!
bricked my captivate after flashing darky v9.0.2
i didn't read the instructions =_= strangley enough i can't flash it the normal way.....
i went to stock and flashed via clockwork mod
oh well....my phones a 1008 so my recovery buttons don't work
adb can't see my device
so I think the only thing that can save my phone from being a nice paperweight is a jig......agreed with me?
i've tried using the 3 button combos but no dice
Yes, a jig is what you need. Do a forum search for it.
Several threads you can choose from.
What are you getting when you power it up?
download mode
Open odin
remove bat sim ext sd
Vol up and down plug in usb
Should be android with shovel
If usb drivers are installed odin should recognize your device
Click start
If you can not get into dl mode this way. Jig

Second that. I had to use mine twice yesterday. Search for Sparkfun here. The jig made form the break-out board from them is nice and easy to build. Works like a champ.
Do yourself a favor in the future; install a button combo fix and then don't bother flashing stock when you change ROMs.

i've flashed like 3 differnt roms and it hasn't happened until flashing to darky v9
oh well....lesson learned i guess
my phone was running the official 2.2 update and i wanted to get back to 2.1 to flash a custom rom. it did a master clear just fine in ODIN but locked up at "DO NOT TURN OFF.." so i had to unplug it and restart, now its stuck at the pc to phone image and ODIN still wont flash it..plz help!
You're supposed to click 'Start' and THEN do Master Clear.
Remove battery so phone is off
Reinsert battery but leave off
Open Odin 1 click program
Hold volume up/down at same time, FOLLOWED by plugging phone in
You should be in Download mode
Click start & hope for the best
Hope that helps

Please help im not noob bricked
Fuct my cappy with odin. no download mode, no power, battery not charging/getting warm. I'm NOT a newb/noob/nub lol by any means. My question is if my bootloader is broken will using the jig even matter. I got a red screen when odin failed while flashing to 2.3.3 but it failed half way through after it seemed to be flashing fine. My concern is I just wiped everything of my phone. If so has anyone Jtag'd one here? I know about jtagbox.com/?s=CAPTIVATE and I'm an electrical engineering student whos done 360 jtag and router jtag for dd-wrt so im more than comfortable with it but I don't wanna spend hours if its for nothing.

Open Odin 1.7 on your computer and plug your USB into your PC. Now take out the battery and hold down volume keys while plugging in USB and putting battery in. Should bring you to download mode. Once in download mode download kd1 put it into PDA and go for it.
Note:it dosent have to show up in download mode to actually be in download mode. If it shows up a little yellow box means in your in download mode.

I believe I have a similar issue, from Krylon's KD1 CWM, i Rezipped correctly, flashed, this this happened..
However, phone sits on Galaxy s4g boot up screen forever.. left it for 15 minutes now.
Also phone will no longer boot into CWM, looks like this may have bricked me.
Yes I did wipes, yes i followed the re-zip instructions correctly, yes I've flashed roms I know the drill.
Anyone know how to fix this? Or does this rom take forever on the first boot? 20+ minutes? doubt it...
And I cant boot back into CWM, Or stock recovery so i'm not sure how to fix this.
It literally either sits on the first Galaxy S 4g screen, or if i hold three button salute, it acts like it would normally boot into recovery, and cycles over and over with no recovery boot.
**UPDATE** Got mine fixed, odin+download mode
I got the drivers from this site and I had Odin running before I tried to put my phone into Download mode, Odin didn't not pick it up
So I got it figured out. You were right about using running Odin before hand, I just had to use a different usb cable. I brought my phone back. Thanks for all your help
I got a little happy last night and tried tinkering with my SGS, and ended up causing it not to boot up. It currently just sits at the Samsung Galaxy S 4G logo screen, so now I'm just trying to go back to stock and start over.
I do not have odin (still not really sure what it is), but I do have CWM and I've wanted to flash this rom; but towards the end of the thread, some users say not to flash this and to use some other rom with odin instead.
Also, this rom won't even flash in CWM. It just says "installation aborted."
Thanks
I just tried flashing this with Odin, using these instructions, and I just got the bricked screen......
Can someone please help me.
recover a nandroid backup...
If you can't figure out Odin, but can boot into recovery, reinstall packages to get into CWM. Then you can restore to your last nandroid backup.
I can no longer boot into recovery or download. I'm stuck at the screen with the phone and computer with the yellow triangle in between. Odin still recognizes my phone when I plug it in (I think), but that's it. Also, I don't understand what there is to "figure out" about odin anyway. I followed the directions exactly, and the flash simply failed in Odin and when I rebooted, I got stuck at the bricked screen.
Looks like a trip to T-Mobile is in order...

YOU DID NOT BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!!!
when i pulled the cord on my phone during download mode and odin it gave me the same screen as you
THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT ITS BRICKED
your computer will still recognize your phone and SO WILL ODIN!
that screen is basically another download mode
heres what you do:
download whitehawkx kd1 deodexed
go into download mode like you normally would and plug the phone in
you will notice that odin still recognizes your phone
in odin ONLY press the PDA option and then choose whitehawkx PDA_KD1 file
flash and wait for reset.... then BAM your phone has the new kd1 rom and its not bricked
i promise you the screen your getting doesnt mean a brick, ive seen that screen like 10 times throughout my flashing days
^ omfg man, you seriously just saved my entire Sunday. I have no idea why it didn't work like this when I first tried it, I literally went through the same steps.
Thank you so much.

any sgs4g rom like whitehawkx kd1 deodexed
take your battery out, put it back in and hold both the up and down volume buttons, then while holding them down plug your phone into your computer via usb and you will enter DOWNLOAD MODE from there you open odin on your computer and click only the PDA option look for the whitehawkx pda_kd1 file you downloaded and click start
that should fix it

Flash it with one of the options you've been linked to by Kyndig. The first two are for Odin the last for Heimdall. That's an alternate DL mode your looking at. It still works the same.
