Captivates download mode doesnt work anymore

Hello, I have had DL mode work several times before by removing card/battery then holding the Up/Dn buttons and inserting the cable but now it just has that circle thing in the center of my screen and then the battery image comes up. Here is whats weird, I can:
1) I can update with Kies
2) Removable disk works in both mass storage and in Debugging mode.
3) I can open Odin3 in debugging mode (not mounted) and it shows the yellow [COM] port.
Any Ideas?

Please post this question in one of the many threads already devoted to the subject of download mode and how to achieve it. We don't need any more open discussions on this topic.
here is thread with many methods for download mode
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775911

Excerpt from this thread: How to unbrick the totally bricked Captivate
5. Hold volume up + volume down + Power.
6. Insert battery.
7. Release POWER BUTTON ONLY.
You should now be in immediate download mode.
Also, can you "adb reboot download"?

I have seen the ADB but dont understand the prosses.
Method 1 (ADB - from recovery or normally booted with usb debugging on)
1. Open a cmd prompt/console/shell
2. adb shell
3. adb reboot download

You have to download the android-sdk file: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Once that is done, open up the command prompt and navigate to where the adb.exe is. Then perform the adb reboot download.
Normally booted with usb debugging on.

[Q] Rooting A ZTE N762

Hello everybody. I recently got my ZTE N762 and it's constantly running out of space. And I found the best method is to root my phone. But I cannot find any simple rooting services that can root my phone. The only thread I can find about rooting a ZTE N762 is this. I found it very confusing and was wondering if anybody knows a simpler rooting service that would work on this phone? Or could explain to me how to use this root better?

GUIDE: Revive a Nexus 5 with defective Power Button

Like many people have experienced, one day the power button on my Nexus 5 failed, and an endless cycle of bootloops began, rendering my device useless.
At this point, there are really only two options.
Option 1: Replace the power button. For me, this option is a bit beyond my soldering capabilities. And to be done properly, requires equipment (e.g., soldering stand with magnifier) that I don't have.
Option 2: Physically remove the offending power button (which at a minimum will allow the device to boot properly).
With an otherwise useless device and nothing to lose, I chose Option 2. Here are the steps I went through to put some more life into my Nexus 5.
Step 1: Remove the motherboard. There's a nice guide here: https://it.ifixit.com/Guide/Nexus+5+Motherboard+Replacement/64811
Step 2: Use a soldering iron to heat up and physically remove the defective power button from the motherboard.
Step 3: Reassemble the phone.
Step 4: Hold down the volume up and volume down buttons simultaneously while plugging the phone in. The phone should now boot into the bootloader screen.
Step 5: Plug the phone into a computer with adb/fastboot installed [see: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html], open Terminal, and type "fastboot reboot"; your phone should now boot your OS.
Step 5a: From here you can perform a factory reset if you simply want to remove all your data and sell your device (for parts) or recycle it.
Step 5b: If you want to make your device more or less usable, let's keep going!
Step 6: If you are lucky, your bootloader was already unlocked before your power button failed. If so, jump down to Step 15. Otherwise, if you are unlucky (like I was), you need to unlock the bootloader. But how to do this without a power button? Hmmm. The solution: a small piece of wire to "short" out the switch. [See: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/3qp02o/possible_to_unlock_bootloader_without_power_button/]
Step 7: Enable ADB Debugging (under Developer Options) on your phone. If it's not already plugged in to your computer, plug it in.
Step 8: Open Terminal and type "adb reboot bootloader"
Step 9: In Terminal, type "fastboot flashing unlock" and use the Volume button to toggle to the "Yes" option.
Step 10: With everything powered, your phone connected to your computer, and "Yes" selected, remove the sim card tray, the back cover, and the midframe. Disconnect the front facing and rear facing cameras. Leave everything else connected.
Step 11: Carefully pry up the motherboard so you can access the power button solder pads and use the small bit of wire to "connect" the two pads. This should confirm the "Yes" option and unlock the bootloader.
Step 12: Carefully reassembled everything.
Step 13: With the phone still connected to your computer, type "fastboot reboot" in Terminal. Since you unlocked the bootloader your phone will be wiped during reboot and so the boot process will take a little longer than normal.
Step 14: Enable ADB Debugging. And then reboot into the bootloader.
Step 15: Install TWRP custom recovery. But without a power button, this is a little bit trickier than normal, since after flashing the recovery.img via fastboot you can't boot directly to recovery and thus your custom recovery will be overwritten by the stock recovery during the boot process. So...you need to use "fastboot boot recovery.img" to temporarily boot your custom recovery and from there you can properly install the custom recovery. Open a Terminal window in the folder containing your recovery image and type "fastboot boot yourrecovery.img" [in my case, I typed "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-1-hammerhead.img"].
Step 16: Once TWRP has loaded, you need to Install TWRP again within TWRP. Put your TWRP.img file into your phone's internal memory and then use the .img option in the Install menu to select and flash the TWRP.img you put into internal memory in to Recovery. TWRP should now officially be your phone's recovery.
Step 17: Reboot System via TWRP to ensure that all's well.
Step 18: If you didn't have a custom rom already installed before your power button failed, I recommend installing one, since there will likely be some additional functionality that will help mitigate the missing power button [like volume rocker wake]. I recommend OmniRom and that's what I installed.
Step 19: Flash SuperSU via TWRP.
Step 20: Reboot.
Step 21: Install a file explorer with root manager capability. I used ES File Explorer. You can find the .apk on apkmirror.com.
Step 22: Use your file explorer to edit /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl and re-map power button to volume down by changing "key 114" from "VOLUME DOWN" to "POWER". Thanks @Fihlvein for this info!
Step 23: Reboot.
Step 24: Profit! Your Nexus 5 should be good to go!
NB: Unfortunately there's is still one annoyance to be dealt with: once you power off the phone there is still no way to turn the phone on without using the "fastboot reboot" method [Step 4] which means you need to have a computer nearby...which isn't always very handy. The solution is to keep your phone powered on and adequately charged.

[LG G5][Bootloader][RS988] No Fastboot? Here's a fix.

Does your phone not boot into Fastboot? Even when you try:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(the software method),
Or pressing volume down and plugging the device in (the hardware method)?
I found a fix!
Here is what I did:
Download all of this:
Uppercut/LGUP: http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/Flash_Tools/LGUP/ (both files)
RS988 KDZ: https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/9466/RS98810h_01_0303
TWRP: https://dl.twrp.me/rs988/twrp-3.3.1-0-rs988.img
ADB: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4623157&d=1540039037
Flashing the KDZ
Install the "LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi"
Disable your Antivirus (just pause it for a couple hours or so)
Extract "UPPERCUT_1.0.0.0.zip" and run "UPPERCUT.exe"
Click "OK"
Power off the phone
Press and hold the "Volume Down" and then plug your phone into the computer while continuing to hold "Volume Down"
Release the button once "Download Mode" appears on the screen
On LGUP, the phone should have appeared in the list. If so, skip to step 18, otherwise continue.
Download this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5Lj5sOIvofGSWFINjhuS01vU1U/view
Run "LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.0.4.exe" and finish the Install.
Search windows for "devmgmt" and open device manager.
Find the device named "android" or something similar
Right click the device and choose "Update Driver"
Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
Click "Let me pick from a list of drivers available on my computer"
It should have selected a driver named "Bootloader Interface" or something similar. Choose next.
Once the driver installs, close the window and close device manager.
On LGUP, press "Select"
Choose the "REFURBISH" option
Click on the empty box next to "BIN"
Click the ". . ." button and browse for the "RS98810h_01_0303.KDZ"
Click "Start"
If a dialogue appears about partitions being wiped, choose "OK"
Once finished, close LGUP
On the phone, if "Enter a Password" appears once booted, either enter random letters and numbers and submit them 30 times, or unplug the battery, then put it back in, then press "Volume Down" and "Power" at the same time, AND THE MOMENT THE LG LOGO APPEARS release and then press and hold the power button but CONTINUE TO HOLD VOLUME DOWN. Then use the volume and power buttons to select "Yes" both times and wait for the phone to preform a factory reset.
Unlocking the Phone's Bootloader
Enable "ADB Debugging" and "OEM Unlocking" (Settings > General > About phone > Software Info > Tap "Build Number" 7 times, then go to Settings > General >Developer Options > enable both "USB Debugging" and "OEM Unlocking")
Go to Settings > General > About Phone > Status and write down the IMEI number (preferably in a text editor on your computer for easy access)
Extract the "adb-setup-1.4.3.zip" and run "adb-setup-1.4.3.exe"
Reply "y" to everything and complete the install
Search windows for "cmd" and open "Command Prompt"
Execute:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once the phone has rebooted, run:
Code:
fastboot oem device-id
you should get something like:
Code:
Example Device ID (PC User)$ fastboot oem device-id
(bootloader)-----------------------------------------------------------------
(bootloader) Device-ID
(bootloader) CD58B679A38D6B613ED518F37A05E013
(bootloader) F93190BD558261DBBC5584E8EF8789B1
(bootloader)-----------------------------------------------------------------
To generate your unlock key, you will need to paste together the 2 lines of output into one continuous string without "(bootloader)" or white spaces. In the example above, the Device ID would be:
Code:
CD58B679A38D6B613ED518F37A05E013F93190BD558261DBBC5584E8EF8789B1
Write the code down with the IMEI. (in a text editor)
Go to https://us.lgaccount.com/join/terms
Sign up for a LG Developer account. Continue once completed.
Go to https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/IssueDeviceInfo.dev
Sign in
Enter your Nickname as made in setup
Enter your email
Enter the IMEI number and Device ID you wrote down earlier.
Click "Confirm"
You should now receive an email with an "unlock.bin" attached. Download said bin.
Plug the phone into the computer
Search windows for "cmd" and open "Command Prompt"
Run:
Code:
cd Downloads
(or wherever the "unlock.bin" is stored)
Then:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once in fastboot, run:
Code:
fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin
Once the phone boots, you are Unlocked!
TWRP
if you want TWRP installed on the phone, follow these instructions:
Run:
Code:
cd Downloads
adb reboot bootloader
Then run:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-rs988.img
Unplug the battery. DO NOT BOOT THE PHONE INTO THE SYSTEM. YOU WILL LOOSE TWRP.
Put the battery back in, then press "Volume Down" and "Power" at the same time, AND THE MOMENT THE LG LOGO APPEARS release and then press and hold the power button but CONTINUE TO HOLD VOLUME DOWN. Then use the volume and power buttons to select "Yes" both times and wait for the phone to boot TWRP. (dont worry, the factory reset program was replaced by TWRP)
Select Wipe > Advanced Wipe > select all except "micro SD" and "USB OTG"
Swipe to Wipe
On your computer, there should be a RS988 device under File Explorer.
If you want stock, Keep going. If not, find whichever rom you want, and follow their instructions, copying the files required to the "Internal Storage" of the RS988 device.
Stock flashable ZIP: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754454673 (if you want stock)
Magisk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 (choose "Latest Stable" under downloads)
Copy the ZIP to the Internal Storage of the RS988 device on your computer, along with Magisk, and the TWRP img you downloaded earlier.
On TWRP, choose "Install" then select "RS988_21d-Stock_Flashable-COMPLETE.zip" and swipe to install.
Once installed, press the home button.
Press "Install" and choose the Magisk zip, and install.
Once done, Press home
Press "Install" then "Install Image" and choose the TWRP image.
Choose "Recovery" and swipe to flash.
Click "Reboot System"
That is it! I hope this helped a few people out. This might need to be standard procedure for all RS988 devices, I'm not sure.
Let me know if I need to change anything, or If a part is confusing to you. I'll see what I can do to Improve.
Thanks,
