Sounds like a jig is what you need then, the $.99 jig will work

The jig will work.
This is a simple fix if your able to follow directions with the jig. Relax and breath, and go to radio shack. No need to brainstorm here...
edit: Will someone else chime in here, lol, I'm thinking he's looking for more than 1 opinion.

Not exactly a second opinion, but waiting for somebody who's been there to chime in and drop his 0.02 cents. And if nothing works, will do the inevitable

Just make a jig, it's good to have anyway.

I have purposely botched my phone for those people who have thought they have bricked their phone. There are various way to make a jig or you can buy one.
But as Thnikk said, it's good to have one anyways. Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

The jig will work, I was in a situation close to yours and nothing worked till i built the jig. There is a nice step by step guide on how to do it. I suggest not cutting up your USB cable and buy the MicroUSB iGo adapter while you are at radio shack. Just search the forums or google for iGo jig.
Edit: The link in the above post is the one I was talking about.

Buy one???, From you? J/K. Heading out to radio shack. I am not totally sure abt the Igo thing but will try with just the resistors. Hope it works. Will keep you folks posted. If nothing works, get ready for a bounty thread . Not that I am rich but can't afford another phone or stay long enough with out a phone. TY

Take it to the att warranty center for sleep death and power cycle issues mention it happened during a keis sync and the'll get you a replaced phone given you havn't done any physical or water damage, it'll take 15-30 mins and get you back up before work tomorrow was in the same boat two days ago.. oh and order the jig mines due in a few days.

Nice, but if the rep turns it on.. He will come across a GalaxyS SGH-I897 logo during boot screen and not like the usual boot screens that comes up for a stock captivate. Do you think he will spot the difference??
And btw, I got this phone from Amazon. Will ATT replace it?

Alright... Jig is ready .
Damn this is tough. Shaky hands
Update: No luck. Nothing working, no d/l mode. Tried at least 20 times.

You must not want you phone to work again. Keep trying and be patient, it took me a little while when I first came up with the resistor method.
Use a desk lamp and/or a magnifying glass to see the prongs better.

No luck. Been trying this under a table lamp with magnifying glasses. Phone switched on for a couple of times and stuck on boot screen. May be 301 is what it needs. I will pick another 1k resistor and give it a try.

Well if your getting past the att world phone screen it could be a kernel issue, use a jig it'll work, if your not getting to the kernels's boot screen then take it to the "service center" not the rep that sold you the device if you cant get the jig to work, and if you got it from amazon and you purchased a two year account up/new take it to the service center att's service center supports all contract devices for one year no matter the retailer you purchased from (minus the iphone heh "droid food")so take it in if the phone dosn't get past the att world phone screen. if it dose use a jig flash to stock if your still having issues after a "Passed" stock flash take it in, and if you got to the reset part when flashing stock and failed.

Bricked captivate fixed

Well my captivate is repaired. I didn't think it was possible but Josh Groce of the famed rom in a flash review videos was able to fix it for me.
Price is great and turn around time, atleast for my phone was awesome.
You can find more info at mobiletechreview.com
It is well worth the time it takes to contact him. Chances are if you have bricked your phone he will be able to fix it for you and it's a lot cheaper than buying a new phone.
I can't say enough good things about him and his work, he is a brilliant young man and we should all be thankful that he is a part of the xda community and wants to help people. I don't believe he does it for the money, off he did he would charge alot more than he does.
I hope this helps some of you that are in a bind with your phone, he certainly helped me.
Thanks Josh, for saving my phone.

How did you brick it?

Your phone wasn't bricked if a jig fixed your problem.
P.s. you can't make jigs yourself for $5. That's not buying the supplies at a bulk discount. Takes approximately 1 minute to make when you have everything you need in front of you. So charging 8-10$ is actually a huge profit. Say 3$ Evey minute you work times 60 minutes in an hour. $180 an hour for what equates to monkey work. Not to shabby.
Edit: yes I oversimplified the process and math to exaggerate my opinion. Point remains the same.

I don't think he was talking about a jig. Probably he had to have his flashed.

His videos r helpful. But I would like to know how u bricked it and what he did to unbrick it...did he just gave u a jig? or changed something in the hardware? I am bricking a lot lately...would be great to take his help...

Don't quote me. But I think be is talking about a jtag type flash

Pretty sure it involved a riff box and removing the motherboard. That's the only way to recover a completely bricked phone.

How long did shipping take? I ask because I ordered a jig from him a while ago to have just in case and I ail don't have it...

I was able to get into d/l mode with a jig but it would just shut itself off basically. Josh worked some magic on it for me.
I bricked it going back to stock from cm7. Like a dummy I didn't follow the directions.
It was truly fubared, before it started shutting off I was getting different colored screens. Green, blue, purple, then all black. This happened each time I tried to use odin to flash stock again.
To me his work was well worth it, now I can take this p.o.s atrix back and wait for the sgs2 or infuse to come out.

I shipped it out last fri, he got it yesterday and is shipping it out today. How long ago did you order the jig? I would just ask him about it, he seems like a very nice person. Ill let you know more when I get the phone back, shouldn't take long.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App

To be honest I'm not 100% sure how he fixed it, I dont really care about that. Just glad I will have it back. Ive tried 3 inspires and then bought an atrix. They may be slightly faster than the captivate but screen quality doesn't come close to me. Maybe my eyes are getting old.
I am pretty sure though that he had to use his jtag box on it, I could be wrong. All I know for sure is that he fixed it and I can't wait to get it back.

i actually had this same brick last night (funny colors mid way through odin and everything). i bricked doing the EXACT same thing that you did, however, i was able to repair it by going into download mode (mine i can hold the volume rockers and put in usb to go to d/l mode, so no need for a jig) downloaded odin 1-click that DG put out (worst 40 minute wait of my life, felt like an eternity) and flashed it back to stock with odin 1-click.

I did try the odin version that dg put out but for some reason no matter what I tried my phone would just shut down. I'm not very tech savvy. I know just enough to get into trouble.
I'm glad you were able to fix yours, I just thought I'd post this for dummies like myself that tinker too much and beak things. Hopefully it will hellp someone.

Expermental (odin) gb loaders with recovery access

These were origonally from the vibrant fourms a little tweaked they should work with our phones looking for someone to test to see if it actually works
You flash via odin
THESE ARE EXPERMENTAL IF IT DOESNT WORK IT WILL 100 PERCENT IN FACT BRICK YOUR DEVICE NO ODIN WILL FIX IT YOU WOULD NEED TO JTAG OR RIFFBOX YOUR DEVICE TO GET IT BACK
LOOKING FOR A TESTER
IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS DO NOT BE A NUB AND FLASH HENCE THEY WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF THEY DO NOT WORK LOOKING FOR A TESTER TO TEST THEM
I am not responsable for any damages these may cause they are expeermental at best they are based however off the i9000 boot loader and sbl that came with kf 1
if these work
For Recovery - Lower Volume Key + Power Button
For Download - Upper Volume Key + Power Button
that will be your new commands

lol seems like everyone is afraid of this one

An unbricker gizmo?
I heard that for the captivate and i9000, there is a little USB tricking jig that touches 2 points in the usb port area using 3 resistors. This forces the phone into download mode. Isn't there something like that, that could be used incase we hard bricked our phones incase we wanted to test this and it bricked us?
I AM WAY TO SCARED TO TEST THIS AS DAD BOUGHT ME THIS PHONE AFTER I BROKE MY HTC DREAM(G1), AND I AM TOO SCARED TO DO ANYTHING THAT COULD HARDBRICK OR PHYSICALBRICK MY PHONE.
(I would have been happier with an android device that is easier to DEV for though. Maybe an MT4G or even a G2 or a Nexus S. Samsung has completely screwed android to the point that we can't even install cm7 YET)

that's to get your phone into download mode .

I emply no warentee expressed or written all my work is as is basis.. If u dont like it dont flash it

It has finally happened...

I finally managed to do it. I officially bricked my Infuse. No clue how I did it but it's finally borked for good. Cant access download mode when I try nothing happens. Used 4 different computers, 5 different cords and approx 23 different USB slots. 3 different batteries(just incase it was a bad battery) Nothing haha. Infuse is completely dead!.... My backup infuse is pretty messed up as well (screen is cracked all to hell) This happened after I Heimdall'd my phone phone to clean the slate. It booted up, then bootlopped once then just didnt turn on again.

i would try letting it sit with the battery out overnight then giving it a shot again, also try differnt tools like gtg unbrick
also try using a usb jig
(i once messed mine up badly enough that when you put in in download mode it was a black screen with red green and blue dots on it, using gtg unbrick fixed it for me !
fingers crossed that itll come back to life for ya.

if you didnt open it, crack the screen, or drop it in water, att will replace it under warranty. give em a call tomorrow at 18008011101. have your iemi ready.

The batteries been out for a bit now gonna leave it out and put it in tomorrow see if maybe that does something. If anything theres a couple Infuse 4G's on Craigslist for pretty cheap. And if this one doesnt end up working, I'll throw it up on there for parts, might be useful to someone.
Also I dont have an actuall plan with AT&T so thats a no go haha

Yeah, after paying a $200 deductable. That's how much it would have been to replace my stolen infuse even under warranty.
Try a pizza taco sometime, if you don't know what it is, look it up then

Dont give up hope... if you didnt flash any bootloaders i dont think its bricked
this looks almost like what happened to me last night..
Odined to stock only to find phone booting up to nothing just a black
screen... i thought i was done for good but i kept trying and one of the times
odin managed to see the device...
even with a completaly black screen it still booted up to "download mode"
even tho i couldnt see that particular screen
i ran odin and it booted up fine
keep trying buddy dont lose hope

if it is that might as well take the whole motherboard and switch it out right??
if you know how to do all that of course
but good luck to you and hopefully its nothing major

warranty is different than insurance. even if you buy it off contract or from someone else, you should still have the warranty. they provide 1 year for all branded phones. its only been on sale for 11 months so everyone should be under warranty.

If your cracked screen infuse still works then I would just swap out the internals. Should be easy enough. I did it to my wife's phone.. screen cracked and we had an identical backup phone that my daughter played with. Swapped out the boards and all was well.

I thought I did something similar but then tried a different method of reverting back to stock & it worked.
It wasn't going into download mode either and the screen was all pixilated but it worked. Maybe try a different method of reverting back to stock (gtg unbrick)

HELP I dropped my samsung infuse now the screen wont turn on

Hi please help me with this I just dropped my phone while in the incipio SILICRYLIC ( its supposed to protect the phone ). Now the screen wont turn on but the button touch sensitive buttons still turns on sometimes. I think screen is broken since there is a crack on the top left corner . I am running jblparisi cm9 mod rom based on entropy's cm9 release 6/08 or 6/14 i can't remember which. Is there anyway to get my phone back to stock before I take it back to the att store for warranty ? I am not sure how to get it in to download mode as it takes a while for the bottom buttons to light up when I have it plugged into the charge or computer, but I dont have drivers for it installed on the computer yet. Is there anyway for me to install the phone drivers without having to have the phone give any response ? I am afraid of the att store employee denying the warranty when he checks the phone.
Please help ! I really appreciate any feedback that you give me

If you can't get to boot....they prob can't either....are you covered by insurance?
not sure what to tell you...since it is damaged, i would make sure it won't boot....if att will replace...

Read through the ISET that BigJoe has worked on very hard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610374
but to get it into download mode:
pull battery
press and hold vol up and vol down together
insert battery
insert USB cable
wait till the home soft buttons light up.
If you want you can make a jig to get into download mode. (google it)
another thing you could try is pulling it apart and see if the ribbon wire for the screen came loose from the motherboard. Its not hard a total of 8 screws theres videos on youtube of it.
I presonally agree with BigJoe just make it so it wont boot

cool beans....hope it works out for you:cyclops:

just want to update and say that my replacement phone just arrived this morning. I will try and keep it on stock for a few hours then go root and go to the oc version of entropy's cm9. And also the representative att seriously lied about the free expedited shipping, since they only shipped with regular. Oh well just really glad my phone came today. Really appreciate the large amount of work the developers on this forum put in to maintain this phone. My greatest respect goes to all of you !

glad you got your replacement...remember check the iset page...hint link is on my signature...for the infuse...and use qkster one click for the cwm so you can flash...

yay the replacement came with gb preinstalled which means i can use the newest cwm without rainbows without upgrading to gb bootloaders on my own
