If you still have the latest nightly on your internal sd card then just reflash it, if you don't try to mount the sd in recovery and then copy the latest nightly over to it and then flash it. If that neither of these suggestions work then you may have to use the Odin 1 click to return to stock and start over.

Jig...odin one click.

thank you guys.. but i think i have delete all the items from the mobile, i think i have erease the OS from mobile.. it opens and saw me the AT&T logo only... and it not going to DOWNLOAD MODE .. .. it is for the trash now or it solved ?

sorry but i can't undestand my friend ... i can't go to DOWNLOADING MODE to pass the official rom .. .

Thats what the jig is for

Try a jig to get into download mode, as previous poster commented. search the forums for captivate jig, should be plenty of results.
Good luck.

On Some captivates, the 3 button combo to get into download mode doesn't work. On these phones you must use a jig to get into download mode

Once you get into download mode, you can update to gingerbread bootloaders, which will allow you to get into download mode using the keys (volume up(or is it down)/power) or you may just continue to use the jig to flash froyo roms

Why would you want to flash the gb bootloaders? They are not even for the captivate.

Ummmm, not true, check out the developement section. I am using them just fine.

Well I mean technically the gingerbread bootloaders aren't for the captivate they are for the I9000. But not only do they work fine with the captivate but they work better because of the button combos actually making sense, instead of the stupid stock combos that require a usb chord to get into download mode. The new ones have intuitive easy as pie button(only no chord needed anywhere) combos.

Google is your friend. Type "captivate jig" into google search. You could even narrow it down by video. Lots of hits. Make your jig or buy one.

you are a fool why you have flashed I9000 firmware to I9003 device.
not the only option is service center

your phone is dead...in china have so many people like this also，cannot repair

Paper weight !!!!!!!

Dnt wory. It happens most of time with new users like u. For now take ur phone to service centre & give a fake reason to them. They will repair it. Now from next time dont do same mistake.

It't hard to recovery

You have screwed up your Phones bootloader. You can not enter download mode now. May be you can try the JIG. But then its of no use explaining about such methods to new users who cant understand. Just take it to service and act like a noob, just tell them you saw there was update available in KIES and you updated the FW. But after that your Phone did not boot. Thats all...

pliz go buy the i9000 n try back that custom fw..it must be working hehe. dude u're juz finish the bad flashing ever done in phone history n sammy service center must be ur next destination. juz follow the tips above n everything will be OK

aw, don't be so mean to him, i made the exact same mistake only the second day after buying my i9003 (though things worked out differently for me - i only got the Phone!Computer screen; flashing another ROM helped)

LOL! Lucky one!
OP- Tell Samsung people that the phone started to heat up and re-booted randomly and then suddenly stopped it's functioning. They will work on this issue. In Asia,speacially India, they are gonna take nearly a month and a half to get this thing done. THe service guys are pretty lazy. There is no option to speed up the process,unless,you have luck on your side or you know the service guy

And you maybe flashed to death by the bill what Samsung Prepares in a FLASH of you dont have a warranty

Awww... dont be too hard on the poor guy. This reminds me of a thread created in the MIUI forums requesting a ROM for our i9003. The moderators response was "try flashing the i9000 ROM". So yeaaaaahhhh....

sorry, but that's definitely a brick! Fancy putting sugar in soup when salt is on the recipe....
Service center won't be able to detect your mistake as they can't revive it and find out what happened. Had you had a hardware failure while you were updating with Samsung Kies, service center might help you but if you were to tell them you updated with WRONG firmware they would not even repair it. *cough*

Congrats, You now have an Expensive Paperweight.

Tried all ROMS but nothing seems to stabilize

Hey guys need help desperately, i tried almost all roms such as XXKPE, XXKPH,XXKPQ,XXKP7,XWKPG, JPKP5, JPKPE but all of them fail to stabilize on my Galaxy SL i9003. Tried factory resetting, wiping dalvik cache after each installation. I even tried CWM and now I am at Cranium 3.0. They were all stable on the first day but the next day in the morning, my phone was either turned off or restarting itself. When I turn it on again, all my contacts were gone, and i have to select language again like it went on soft reset(i called it soft reset because it resets only my initial set ups like locker screen, vibration intensity of haptic feed back, ringing tone, notification tone, all animations but all programs and login details are still there). Is there anything else that i can do to my phone?

Can u tell me purose behind posting this thread in development section...?

First of all,please don't post in development section
For your problem try installing kpe first and try pitting it in Odin with latona. Pit

Don't treat newbie like that. Give them link and say thank you to them because without newbie there is no Pro !

Hi,
the problem that you describe is like mine Acer Liquid, follow this step and say if persist
Wipe Data, Cache
Flash XXKPE with repartition and correctly
Remove Battery from phone for 1 hours
insert battery into device
Download Mode
Flash XXKPQ
Without flashing any kernel or like
if persist, i think its not problem SoftWare but its hardware problem, go to Samsung Assistence

I understand that ur suggestion & even ur suggestion is really good. Senior member have implemented this stratagy many times. But main problem is still that new people dont take effort read some rules. There are many useful sticky thread especially for new people but they want everything readymade.

1)Reading threads wont solve his problem.His is unique,and he posted in deperation.But remember,try not to post these things in dev section!
2)And the answer to your question-Go to service centre.NOW!

Not a dev discussion. If you are tired, please make a stable rom for yourself.

bricked device

So im guessing i bricked my s3 verizon.. the phone wont completley turn on I rooted and tried to put on a jelly bean rom and found out that I put the wrong one on meaning I put a GSM instead of a CDMA which is my fault because I never payed attention to it.. Any solutions for this problem?
Battery pull did not work
Charging it did not work
The phone completley will not turn on no way to get into download mode or whatever so I need help thanks.

I haven't kept up as much in recent days but what I heard in the past was that flashing an international ROM was close to a death sentence since you end up in a qualcomm diagnostic mode with no download mode. I have no idea if there has been any changes, updates, or progress made in this regard or if a USB jig will help you. I would imagine a JTAG would still be useful. You might want to try on IRC.
Also, this is not development and does not belong here. The rules clearly state that. Many bad things can be avoided by taking the time to read.

I did, was just confirming what you had already said :good:

Spoke with Verizon and they'll replace it for me...should have been more careful, I flashed the GSM version of a rom after rooting. JTAG looks like it's quite difficult though. I'd only do it if Verizon told me to take a walk...Anyways thanks for the responses, and always remember: practice safe flashing!

Problems in GingerBlurb

May be this is not a Bug, Please Explain what to do overcome these problems?
1. WiFi worked at first time install, after 2 days WiFi not detecting.

Why do you don't ask in the thread?
You get 50% battery after rebooting? What about before???
Here's my experience: 79%
Are you happy now?

I re flashed stock ROM WiFi working fine also CM9 UNOFFICIAL ROM also working, BOSS.
I think you don't know about HardWare, a HardWare how many times u flash it does'nt matter but you have do it correclty and disciplined.
Ex: PC = SmartPhone -> So, How many time re install OS on PC it does not ruin HW or else no one will dare develop a custom ROM.
I think you go to Pre-School learn some ****

It may have been that your router was set on a specific channel and you just had to switch through the channel options on your phone to get the right one.

fyi

if u're so smart why did u ask people here to help u.
i think u should go to pre-school to learn some manners, maybe it's internet, but we still should be civilized.
And the people that answered to help, have thought about your problem, and answered honestly about what they thought is wrong with your device.
And for your knowledge that isn't so big after all. If you flash a rom on a smart phone/ install an os on a PC it deteriorates the hdd proportionally to how many times you write, the only downside is that it becomes slower in read/write data, it's not very hard so u can notice, probably after 100 times or even more u can actually tell a difference.

Another useless thread wasting bandwidth...
