I have a samsung captivate that I had Perception 9 on, I was disabling the lag fix and restarted my phone (the lag fix wasn't working properly). I was forced into the at&t world phone ghost loop and was unable to go into recovery or download mode with any form of the 3 button combination.
I went to radio shack and jimmy rigged a nice usb jig and was able to get into download mode from there. I downloaded the Odin one touch to revert back to stock 2.1, everything flashed correctly, but when it went to restart (after i got the green PASS in odin) I am still stuck at the AT&T world phone loop.
Any suggestions?

Try this
Remove any cables from phone to PC
1. Shutdown your phone
2. Remove battery
3. Remove SIM card and any SD cards you installed
4. Start ODIN one click installed on your PC
5. Press both volume up & down together and keeping them pressed, connect the USB cable to PC
6. Your phone should go to download mode and ODIN should identify it
Now start and see.
Let me know what happens
If what luv2rip doesn't work try my method:

I had a similar issue earlier today. When dealing with Odin it seems that the best method to use is the one luv2rip described.
In my case, my little buddy (phone) kept freezing on solid colored screens. So I decided to try a different PC... and BAMMM! Worked like magic.
.... maybe it still had some Voodoo left in there =)
I forgot to mention that I recently went from XP to Vista on the PC that gave me problems. Since the "upgrade" was made Ive had sooo many things malfunction. The PC wouldnt even acknowledging the phone was plugged into it =/

Vista? Well there's your problem. Windows 7, enough said!

Also, check your phone's build # (under your battery). The 1010 build phones have problems with Odin 1-click because they won't accept JF6 firmware. Per reports from other users, they will only accept JH2 or above firmware.
If that is your issue, you can use the method posted by Breakin' Ranh to return to stock.

I was playing around last night with updating my phone with a different and everything was fine. Today, I installed the proper kernel and it installed and ran fine. I decided I would install a different kernel, one that has audio via USB for the dock and after I selected the file with Odin, I started the install and then I noticed Odin said something about it being finished and removed. Now I started my phone and it just sits at the screen that says Galaxy S. The phone will not start and I cannot get into recovery or download mode. I have tried every button combination I could find online. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get into either download mode to install the kernel again, or recovery so I can just install the zip to reload the software.
Have you tried a jig or adb to get into download mode?
Sent from 234 Elm Street
I have never been able to properly get adb working, I know I am doing something wrong, but I actually just finally got it working. I was able to use One Click Root to have it restart my phone into recovery mode and I was able to reinstall the software and kernel. Everything is going good now, except I can't use the kernel I wanted to use because I don't know if it has CWM3.
This is the kernel that I actually wanna install.

You have SOFT bricked it which means you can get it out of it without JTAG at this point. Go to YouTube and search ODIN 1 Click and watch the video I made to help flash stock firmware.
Any updates OP?
Have you tried taking out and reinserting the battery then volume up, volume down while inserting your USB cable? That saved me one time. Then I bought a JIG.
Thanks for all the help, but I actually figured it out. I had forgotten I installed bootloaders and it changed the button combinations for Continuum.
Hi !
This is my problem : my current rom is a i9003XXKP9 and it's laggy, 3G is slow, 90% of apps won't run, battery drains fast, camera doesn't work... so I want to go back to a FroYo version (i9003XXKB3) but Odin (1.82) gets stuck at "setup connection". My i9003 is connected in Download mode, I removed SIM and SDCard, changed USB port (7 out of 7 actually...) but still stuck at the first step of the flash... This fills me with despair... Oh and I also have my drivers up to date
Please help me, I never had a problem flashing all my WM phones...
Thank you
Well I don't have a 9003 but make sure you do not wait too long to start the flash after connection to the computer. It will still show as connected but it seems the i9000 at least stops looking for the download after a little while.
Also try another version of Odin. I had one that just never worked.
Try move the sd card...
I've had that before, usually solved by removing the battery for a couple of minutes and then booting into download mode again.
Also, start Odin (as administrator to be sure) before you plug in the phone. It's sometimes very picky about that it seems.
I am able to get past Odin "setup connection" issue for I9003
Hi!
I had this issue for more than a week and now I managed to find a solution for this. Previously I was working with Windows 7 and had no issues while using Odin for flashing the ROMs. But when I shifted to my old machine having WinXP I had the issue in Odin which get stuck on "setup connection".
Yes, I tried re-installing the drivers, made sure that Kies is not running in task manager, searched in google for solutions and followed all methods suggested, but still no luck whatever I did. Then finally I tried this and it worked...
After putting my phone in the download mode, I first tried to flash with Odin3 v1.82. Once it got stuck on "setup connection", I simply closed Odin3 v1.82 and opened Odin3 v1.83 and tried flashing again. Now it worked... I didn't disconnect the phone during this process of changing the Odin. I tried many times today and this method worked for me all the time. You can first try with any version of Odin. If that version doesn't work, simply close it and try with the other version.
Hope this helps someone who has this issue...

removing the sdcard and sim worked for me
My case with this kind of problems
Let me tell u about a problem i have all the time, on my first flashes with Odin i always got stuck on the setup connection, but it was a problem with my USB ports, it turns out that not all ports are 2.0, which is the recommended for doing this kind of things.....
When i found out this, i tried on all of my 8 ports 'till i found the right one
Another issue, at least with my device, is that the USB cable doesn't "grab" well and it happened to me that at least 5 times the flashing was interrupted by this kind of problem.
I use Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 7 Ultimate in my desktop PC and in my laptop respectively......

Recovery instead of Download mode
Maybe, just maybe. I'm suggesting this because it happened to me and I was stuck for 3 days. Make sure you'r not in recovery mode instead of download mode.
Recovery : Volume Up + Home + Power
Download : Volume Down + Home + Power

edit: i have galaxy s i9000M
Well, Ive been flashing roms for a while now and I have an issue with my captivate.
Lets start in the beginning. I had my captivate on THS ICS rom and It was going great. But my captivate isn't that great anymore. The power button is broken, but I was able to go around that. (Sidenote: It turns on when I plug in the battery.) Anyway, I wanted to go back to stock because I did have the right bootloaders. (I couldnt get into download mode with the button combination. I thought it was the bootloaders fault. Im I wrong?) I wanted to switch to I9000 bootloaders but I had to start fresh. But before all that, I noticed that while I was on ICS rom, I was unable to go to download mode. I used to before, but it magically disappeared (I know it didnt, I know I did something to it but I don't quite remember when it happened.) So I was unable to flash a new rom, if I wanted to.
A couple of days ago, I bought a jig and it worked! It took me straight to download mode. So I decided to get my Captivate and make it go back to stock. So I opened Odin, it found my Cappy and I clicked start. But, it stopped at factoryfs.rfs. I waited a half hour and nothing. So I unplugged it and now it won't turn on. But it can still go into Download Mode and be seen by Odin but it just wont finish. I tried both odin one click and the regular odin. I looked everywhere for more than six hours and nothing came up. Please guys, if anyone knows what I can do to fix it, please reply.
I might have missed something, but just ask if you need any more info. Please help me.
Edit: I forgot to add this:
While I was on the ICS rom, I switched over to CM7 to see if the process of going back to stock would be easier. Thats when I tried to flash stock. It didnt work as well as I thought it would.
And I knew that I didnt have I9000 bootloaders because I installed the Icy Glitch kernel and each time I tried to have DIDDLE on it would go to deep sleep mode and I was unable to wake it back up.
As long as you can get to download mode you are fine. Try flashing a different stock from. Or using Hiemdell
I've tried both odin and Hiemdell. But with Hiemdell, it would always tell me that I dont have the drivers installed. So, it installs it for me. Even with the drivers installed, it keeps telling me that I dont have the proper drivers installed.
I have had this exact problem, where a bricked captivate can get into download mode but when restored to stock through a one-click, it freezes on the factoryfs.rfs. However, in my case after freezing at this stage, the phone was completely inoperable, and could not even enter download mode, so I am suprised yours could.
What works for me is to remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, put the battery back in, use the usb jig to enter download mode, and then WITHOUT the phone plugged into the pc, download and open this one-click file http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989.
Once the odin one click is open, plug the usb cable into the pc, and then into the phone. This one-click has never failed me. Hope this helps.
Ok, now it passed. I don't know what I did but now its back up and running. But now it boots up into recovery. I can't select anything because my phone's power button is broken. What do I do?

Depending on the CWM recovery you're in, you can sometimes use the search capacitive key to do the same thing as the power button will do.
I had the same problem you had with Odin stopping on flashing a file, turns out I was using a third party USB cable. I switched to the USB cable provided by Samsung when I bought my cappy and problem solved. Hope that helps.

Finally!
Well, I got my Cappy up and running again. While I was stuck in the CWM I just decided to install Gingerbread using a One click and it worked. Now I'm back to CM9. Thanks guys for the suggestions. I guess I just needed to wait and double check everything.
I am in desperate need of help .. I am not a noob to flashing roms and rooting, however I have a one-off situation w/ no precedents to my knowledge. I have read these and other forums for days to no avail.
I was flashing Infintium Rom 4.0.4 from MIUI 2.3.6. I followed the steps listed in the post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661690). After flashing I rebooted and waited however the phone was/is stuck on the Samsung logo and never progressed. I then pulled the battery and attempted to go back to recovery mode to reflash make sure I did flashed correctly. However, upon going back into recovery I was greeted by the below image.
Clockwork Mod is extremely distorted and flat out unusable !! As I read further down it advised to use Heimdall (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331381). I downloaded and attempted to use, however my PC (Which by the way is Windows 7 64-Bit) recognized the phone but the Heimdall software did not. I already had the right drivers for the PC and phone. After a few tries I deleted the files and reapplied them. On the 2nd menu after selecting list devices, on the drop down the option for Samsung USB Composite Device neeever ever appears. I also tried on a different PC that ddnt have the drivers and started brand new. Still, Heimdall ddnt recognize.
I also tried to flash numerous files including but not limited to GTG Ultimate Unbrick via Odin. Again, PC recognized USB connection however program ddnt. At this point, I do not know if it is because the status of Clockwork Mod on my phone, but I know it is not because of the drivers or the USB ports on my PC.
In addition to that, I have just scrapped the idea of flashing or getting in CWM and just wanted to do a hard reset (While phone is off held Vol down and Power, once started released power and contimued to hold Vol down. This should take the phone from the Samsung logo to an alt menu that will give the option to do a factory reset. But again w/ my luck .. that screen neeever appears.
In short I have tried at least 3 different ways and many maaany variations to get the phone back into recovery or into a full boot and had NO success.. Please help and ask as many questions as needed to diagnose and resolve this issue .. Thanx in advance and apologize in advance if posted in the wrong thread.
Are you placing your phone in download mode?
Remove battery and place it back.
Hold vol+ & vol- , and plug in the usb to your phone with the other end already connected to the PC.
Now see if Odin or heimdall recognize your device.

If neither Odin or Hemdall can 'see' the phone, then possibly you don't have the correct drivers installed...
Try downloading and installing these:

Then open Odin/Hemdall and plug your phone in again while in Download Mode.

The CWM screen is shot because you don't have gingerbread bootloaders, it will always look like that until to can flash the right ones..
Have you tried different cables, different ports, etc?
Sometimes mine would recognize.. sometimes being plugged in first then running Odin works, sometimes I would have to run Odin and then plug in the phone.. kinda a crapshoot...

I know I need to get the bootloader and a kernel on it however I cant = ( .. yet .. I have 4 different ports on my PC and have tried them all. i have tried phone on then run programs and programs on 1st then phone on and no new results.
I found this short video and it describes my exact situation .. please watch to futher understand http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHLUYckTlug
So u have odin and heimdal both on the same PC and drivers for them if yes then try this.
On the PC/Laptop uninstall all the drivers for samsung or any other phone and follow this.
Go to accessories> system tool> system restore and check the restore point where the drivers for heimdall were installed restore to a previous restore point after restore finishes install the drivers for Infuse and see now Odin recognizes ur phone, It should.
I had the same exact problem, do you have another phone on which you can install the same CWM recovery on? ...Because the clockwork mod recovery still works, it's just that you can't see it. So just flash a new ROM, by going back n forth between phones, clock how many clicks it takes to get to 'choose zip to install' then 'download' on the not messed up phone, then do the same on the screwy one, just keep doing that till u flash the new ROM.
