I just updated my daughters Samsung Captivate to the new Gingerbread and it will not restart at all!!! She called Samsung and they said she had to send it to them to be re-flashed. Two days to send, two days to flash and two days to return! Anyone have any suggestions or have had the same problem?
Does it turn on, Plz give more info...
No it will not turn on at all!! I believe it has been hard bricked.

probably a faulty unit. get it fixed under warranty.
dont think i will be able to tho as i have put software onto it and i might be able to blag that it was faulty
I Would just plug the thing into your PC, and run the ROM upgrade,
I have a 2 month old AT&T Captivate and about a month ago I loaded the Andromeda v2.0 MOD and love it. Everything was working fine until about a week ago when my external speaker stopped working. I turned to the Andromeda programmers and one of them had me upgrade to v1.2 but that didn't help and they helped me downgrade back to stock so I can turn the phone back to AT&T.
But along the way something happened and now the AT&T white flash screen just flashes on and off every two seconds. I've tried every process on this web site including building a JIG to force the phone into download mode but that didn't work either.
It's now in what I'm told is Bootloop. Does anyone have any idea how to get this crippled Captivate back to stock?
Thank you.
If it is just stuck at the white screen, take it back to AT&T for a warranty replacement. Tell them that you were trying to upgrade it to KB1 Froyo through Kies, when it failed. A bit unethical, I know, but the phone was going to go back anyway for the speaker issue.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
So, I've downloaded Odin, the tar file, and anything else necessary to root, unroot, unbrick phone, etc.... I've read tons of forums and followed some I trusted very thoroughly. The problem began with my screen just suddenly going blank. This was almost two weeks ago now. Verizon has been of no help, AS USUAL.... the phone is only 3 months old, and Samsung offers no support either.
I've gotten the screen and phone to come on twice since, and that was the day of and right after it occurred. I thought I finally had it fixed after doing all of the steps in Odin last night, but the screen is still black. The other lights come on, and I can hear notifications, etc coming through but I can't see anything. I'm beyond stressed out.
If anyone can finally help me work through this, I would great appreciate it!!
Thanks so much in advance
Sorry, meant to delete this reply. I'd be happy if the mods did so x)
Hey guys, my phone has been working fine until 3 days ago. I am running the latest Eclipse rom. I woke up one morning to send a text and it wouldn't go through, it kept failing, so I restarted my phone to send it, and it worked. Later that day I went to send another message but it didn't work again, so I did the same thing. Now, I can't receive, or send texts (I can't even do calls) without having to turn airplane mode on and off every 5 minutes. I tried factory reset and that didn't work. My brother doesn't have any problem with his iPhone so maybe this is an S3 thing or something.

Are you from either the 570 or 717 area codes? There are a lot of people from those areas(myself included) that are having this issue on AOSP with no current known fix.
no but i have seen those posts... i flashed the slimkat rom and it seems everything is now fixed
edit: hour later, phone is starting to act up again. only way i can send messages is to toggle airplane mode. i have no idea if anyone is trying to reach me... phone status says i'm connected with mobile network, in service. i have no idea what could be causing this.
Hi Guys,
i have a big problem with my NEW Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus NFC, i bought this phone on last wednesday (19.03), first run, apps, just fun, no problems at all, but couple days after phone restarts two times in a row, i just left it on table and i hear samsung launch sound, after first reboot, couple minutes later, phone restart again... I was so mad, cuz god damn, this phone is NEW... one or two days after, when i turn on Mobile Data, phone restart again... please, guys, i beg you, how can i fix it? :crying:
I found many threads on the internet about this problem or similiar to this, but without solution.
Sorry for my bad language, but im so mad and in addition im from Poland.
Maybe try flash 4.2.2 rom?
If i flash 4.2.2 from, for example sammobile i don't lose warranty?

Have you succeeded to solve it ? If no, flash it with odin. And yes, you lose the waranty.
