I was tryin to root my samsung captivate on 2.3.5 gingerbread software when i accidently unplugged the usb chord it was stuck and wouldnt go into download mode when i tryed everything i decided to try and download the root and it finally worked but only a little it goes to world phone atnt and has galaxy startup but one i havnt seen it says samsung 19000 and then continues to go back and forth between the two it will get in download mode and recover mode but i just want my regular software back can anyone help??
First of all, the I9000 is the Galaxy S, not the Captivate. You can't (generally) put firmware from one phone onto another (I've NEVER heard of that, anyway).
You need to go back to the start by flashing a stock ROM and getting your phone back to working order. You can do that by going here...

I'd strongly recommend that you spend some time reading the sticky threads in the development and Q&A forums as they will have answers to most questions like this.
Good luck
i tryed that and with all the options one im not to sure what to do but regardless it will still go into download mode but now it will only go to a white screen saying atnt world phone i am so screwed i have no clue what to do

Glad you got it sorted mate. Most of the answers you need are already here - you just need to know where and how to find them
Hello! I really need help with getting stock rom back on. I've sit hours and hours looking for some information that would help me, but i couldn't find what i exactly needed.
Yesterday I installed Kyrillos rom v9.7 (with Odin) to my Samsung Galaxy 3 (Really old stone, not S3). At first downloading stopped for unknown reasons, but finally i managed to get this in my phone. It has been working, but there are things that bother me.
At first, when i turned off and back on the phone all the apps i downloaded from Google Play were gone, and ALSO the Google Play itself was gone. I thought this was normal, because i've never put custom rom to my phone before. It's also a bit lagging and some apps freeze and need to force close at times. UI isn't really my cup of tea either, but this isn't a problem much. So, these are the reasons i want to get rid of it. I have to say, that I can't handle it.
I've read how to put stock rom back on in Odin with files that go to PDA, PHONE and etc. but I've already downloaded 2 files (because one of them had 1 file inside, so i thought second one should have all this flashing needed...) The both didn't have these necessary files.
Downloaded from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497261/
and I don't know what to do next. Odin says, it's wrong and i see it's wrong but i'm afraid of hardbricking my phone. I mean, i've already softbricked it, but managed to fix it myself and little help from xda forum.
Now this is it.. I don't know what to do or where to get Stock rom files, that wouldn't hardbrick my sammy, if something would go wrong somehow someway .
So if somebody understood ANYTHING i told here... It would be really nice of you to help me... Please!
Hello,
Totally new to this Forum, and to the idea of rooting/unlocking phones at home. Hopefully someone can help or provide guidance. I'm sorry, I'm sure this answer comes up somewhere on here, but I have not searched.
Here is my predicament.
I got a new phone, and was going to try to root/unlock my old phone (Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant i9000M) for my GF's daughter.
So...I downloaded Odin 1.3 and ran the instructions as I found them on another site. They supplied the link to a *.tar file that would root the phone. After I ran that, the phone would power on...but not pass the Splash screen. When it boots the i9000M turns to i9000 and the lights on the front of the phone flash..and it stays on that screen.
I downloaded a different version of Odin (1.85), a new tar (CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1) and pit (s1_odin_20100512) files. I've run all of those...and now the phone will not power at all. If I run into Download mode...it works.
Thoughts?
Is this phone able to be saved...or should I just take it with me to hockey tonight and practice shooting with it.
I got it all to work...after much reading and searching, I found the original Stock ROMS to bring me back to factory, then properly flashed and unlocked, got the SIM to work and even figured out how to set up the APN for internet access via the phone service....initially I only had it working on wifi.
A new question. Is an unlocked i900M (Bell) the same as any other i9000? I want to upgrade her past Froyo 2.2, because her app/game selection is rather limited. Everything I am finding references i9000...and doesn't say with it is a Gingerbread upgrade for a stock phone, or unlocked phone.
I apologize if these are noob questions, but I've never done this before.
Any help.guidance would be appreciated.

but when i try and repartion i get an error saying /dev not found
if there is any else you need me to post let me know
also if this is in the wrong area i apologize.

a pity for all phones compared to computers is that they don't have bios or similar, so when it's broken the rom firmware also flash fail is very difficult to fix especially for self tinker like me.
So following the instructions here I rooted my LG Tribute 5 when I got it with Kingroot. And everything was fine for months. Until System Updates started to pop up regularly but I could never get them to install(they would error out). After a quick search I learned the updates won't install cuz the device was rooted. And a quick unroot would get the install to work.
I just unrooted through the kingroot app and started the updated. Before, when I tried the update it would error out about a quarter of the way through. This time the bar made it all the way to the end and then error'd out. I didn't think much of it. So since the device was stuck I took my battery out and back in. The device went through the boot process, then a No Command error popped up. Never saw that before.
So I tinkered with it a bit and kept getting the error. So I got into the Recovery Menu to do a full wipe and factory reset. I did that, but the No Command still popped up.
I know I can put a custom rom file on my external sd card and install that through recovery, right? The thing is I would like to install Slimrom, but there are a ton of downloads on the sites download page. So I'm asking for a little help on directions on a slimrom that will work on the LG Tribute 5.
And if there isn't a custom rom that works with a tribute 5,can I get a recommendation of one a custom rom that does? I'm into lightweight and minimalistic. By the way, I didn't have a custom rom on my phone, just had it rooted.
Thank you so much in advance for any and all help
No-one has any advice for me?
A little more info, the phone was on Android 5.1.1 before it started erroring out.

Do you have a custom recovery as well? If it is only the stock recovery, which blocks most zips, your very option may be to use LG UP and the stock dz file and return the device to stock. The process to update can be done from that point.
I'm pretty sure I only have the stock recovery. I knew i should have installed TWRP...
So just search for LG UP and the stock firmware and they should be easily accessible?
Thanks for the reply xanscorp.

The LG UP program and .dz file are in there.
That's awesome! Thank you very much for linking the files for me.
I'm gonna do this in a couple hours when I get home and I'll let you know how it went.
Much appreciated xanscorp
One last stupid question... Just the LG Up and.dz files are the only two I need right?
I'm guessing so, but just wanna be sure.
Yes. It'll put you back to stock.
Unfortunately I haven't yet found how to get the ZV5 firmware fully rooted (i.e. a custom recovery) but it can be partially rooted with KingRoot. (http://www.kingroot.net/wap)
I just finally got around to giving this a shot. Sheesh....
Anyways I downloaded the files, put them on my external SD card, popped my SD card into my phone, then booted my phone to recovery. I went to install update from SD, and the phone didn't find any files. Hmmm....
I'm definitely doing something wrong. The .msi file looks like an executable. So I hopped onto Windows to install it. It installed, but when I run the program it can't find my phone when I plug it in.
I'm about to just give up, trash this thing, switch to a different provider and get another new phone. This time I won't mess with Kingroot. I'm pretty positive that's the app that screwed things up. I've had three different phones, rooted all three through different methods, and never had a problem.
Things files are to restore from a pc using LG Up for Windows... that's why it's a Microsoft Installer (.msi) file.
Yeah I figured that. But when I plug my phone into the computer my phone isn't recognized. I'm assuming because it boots straight to a No Command screen.
So since the computer doesn't recognize it neither does LG Up. Any trick to get around this?
Still haven't gotten this phone back to working. This is the first time I've really been stumped after a brick.
Please...anymore help?
