ok...so i rooted my phone tonight. Downloaded busybox...everything was going great. So i dl the Odin Froyo update...and halfway through...the USB cable came out. Now...When i try and turn it on it shows an icon of a phone...exclamation point and a PC..
I can get the phone into dl mode..but when i connect it to Odin...it just says "File analysis...for hours....nothing happens. I have dl the stock Rom from XDA and tried that. Both Odins recognize my phone (Ie they show up in yellow) But nothing ever happens with the update. So now what? Am i bricked.
I wish I could help, but I almost had the same thing happen. I can tell you the prob with the cable connection is the cable, mine was. I ordered a couple online and trashed the factory cable. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Search for One-Click Odin back to stock.
Remember to access download mode you have to pull and replace the battery, hold both vol. buttons, and while holding, plug in the cable.
If Odin recognizes the phone, then there *most likely isn't a problem with it.
Ditto, Pull battery, sd card and sim, put battery back in, follow directions to the letter, start oden first, then install cord while holding down both up and down vol. buttons.
I apologize if this is a duplicate but I have a problem.
The USB cable came out of the phone while loading GR-10 ROM so of course the flash failed. The phone will boot up in Android System Recovery but go no further. Download mode does not appear to be available. Tried several times (5).
There is bunch of failed message string below.
My questions are:
Is this a soft boot where a Jig would make it go into Download mode?
Or is this a hard boot and I need to do something else?
Thanks in advance for any replies!

you should be able to reach download with adb comands.
if it still boots at all you should still have a good combination of bootloaders. have you tried the i9000 combos as well? volume down+power untill the splash screen pops up, volume down for 2 sec then plug in usb cable with odin open? volume down+menu+power? pull battery then vol down + power + put battery back in?
also have you tried the captivate variations? volume up+vol down+power till att splash goes away, vol up + vol down+ usb cable, pull battery then vol up+vol down+usb +put battery back in?
id try them all or use adb while into recovery mode.
I went to take a shower and came back to try it again.
I got it to go into download mode. I believe it was the I9000 version which worked - volume down+power untill the splash screen pops up, volume down for 2 sec then plug in usb cable with odin open
However, it appears to be stuck trying to load. In Odin 3 app, I am at factoryfs.rfs and the progress bar has not moved for about 20 mins. Also my COM window is yellow.
It looks like Odin3 and Captivate are not talking and that the Captivate drivers did not load. Does that sound right?

Yeah, sounds like odin is detecting your phone, but having trouble transferring junk to it. Try a different usb port, or perhaps a different usb cable if you happen to have a spare one?
You can also try it again if it's stuck on factoryfs.rfs, since it's not in the process of flashing bootloaders it should be "ok" to pull the cable and try again.
Also, it shouldn't take more than 2 minutes to flash factoryfs.rfs, anything longer is a pretty good indicator that something went terribly wrong.
Also try restarting your computer.

Just so you know - I tried everything mentioned here and I was not able to get the phone working.
The phone would not communicate with the computer correctly. I could never get the Odin3 to show anything other than yellow when I connected the phone and was in download mode.
I could not get it to boot at all at the end. So I took it to the local ATT&T repair center and got a replacement.
Thanks again.
I was flashing a I1900 rom, Amestris. I did a full wipe and a wipe of delvik started to flash the rom and during the flash the screen went black. When I try to start it back up if I hold the power and the vol up/dn the samsung screen comes up but just for a split sec and then goes back off with almost a tv animation?. I cannot get to either download or recovery at this point and of course not with adb either. acts like a dead battery? but the battery was fully charged. When plugged into the charger the charging emblem does not come on either?
Any help out there?

Yes, that is exactly what I did. My problem was that I could not get to download. Thus I could not acomplish this. All is good now. I got download, flashed to stock and back to my daily. I just do not know how it stopped in the middle of a flash and shut down? I will try to duplicate it later.
TV screen? Did it maybe look like a "Phone-to-PC" screen?
That's the "You're not getting anywhere until you flash something" variant of download mode, but it IS download (Odin/Heimdall) mode.
Or you may have flashed a ROM that had an autoreboot in its script so it's a bad kernel - so enter download mode and Odin away. You might get away with just Odin/Heimdalling a Hellraiser-compatible kernel to get you to CWM.
To enter download mode:
Pull and reinsert battery
Hold VolUp/VolDn (but NOT power)
Plug in the USB cable to the phone when it's connected to a PC

No it was not that screen.
It looked like the screen off animation of some roms where it looks like an old TV. I have seen lots of soft bricks but this was new. As soon as the samsung screen came up it instantly went off. Very hard time getting into download also. It was also the firt time I ever had a phone stop in the middle of a flash, on it's own and become soft bricked. I have been back on Dario's, Darky's and now Infused since and all is good. Just not sure how it happened. I plan to try to duplicate just to find the real cause and warn others. Unless it was just a odd fluke of sorts...
I was doing odin to get to download mode and trying odin gb bootloaders for 2.3.3. Now my phone doesnt boot i have a black screen picture of a phone triangle and computer.

If I'm not mistaken, the phone -!- PC screen is the equivalent of download mode. I'd unplug your phone, restart Odin, plug phone back in and go from there. I'll defer if someone has a more detailed explanation though

leave the power button alone
power down
hold in volume buttons
insert USB
If you managed to get the GB bootloaders in place (assuming I9000), the download mode key combo is to hold Vol- and Power. If you're still on Eclair/Froyo bootloaders, hold Vol-/Vol+ (with power off), then insert the USB cable.

Unplug your phone, pull your battery for 2+ min. Then open Odin, plug in your USB, press and hold the vol up and vol down, while holding them down, put your battery in. You should see a big triangle with the Android guy . That is Download mode
which odin i have two 3 v1.85 happy flashing and 3v1.85 android+slp

Reboot your computer
What OS are you running?
Let's run down a quick checklist of things to make sure that you're putting yourself in the best possible place for success:
1. Unplug any cables you have plugged in right now, Turn off ODIN, remove the battery, and reboot your computer.
2. Boot up your computer, let it fully boot and settle. Once it's fully settled, double-check to make sure you have the Samsung USB drivers installed for the Captivate (and that's its for the correct version of Windows - x86 or x64).
3. Assuming the drivers are present and correct, start up ODIN (You might try the One-Click to Stock, as it will take you back to a stock state). Let it sit for right now.
4. Plug your USB cable into a port that connects directly to the motherboard (but not to your phone just yet). On a desktop, it will be on the back of the machine. On a laptop, you may have to find it by trial and error.
5. Reinsert the battery. Hold Vol+/Vol-, and then insert your USB cable. This should put you in download mode. If not, pull the cable, remove the battery, reinsert the battery, and hold Vol- and power until download mode appears, then insert the USB cable.
6. Assuming you are in download mode, and the cable is inserted, check to see if ODIN recognized the phone. If not, try a different USB port on the computer. You may have to reboot your computer between trials.
7. If ODIN still won't recognize the phone, you may need to look into using Heimdall to flash.
Post back if you have questions.

I thought I remember seeing somewhere a ways back that from this alternate d/l screen Odin may not recognize the phone, but that flashing Odin package would work anyway.
Pretty sure I saw that...but at this point, can't hurt to try. Otherwise jig should get you there.

Here is what happened. I was on CM7 with blue cwm, flashed paranoid android successfully, phone works, calls/mms work, everything works but i get rainbow cwm. In order to fix this i followed the directions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705260, was on step 3 when i installed kies i had the phone connected to the computer via usb. After kies installed i received an error in windows saying the usb device could not be recognized. Since then no matter what i try i can not get the phone into download mode.
Things i have tried:
1- pulling battery, reinserting, holding +- volume while attaching usb cable
2- different usb cable
3- different computers
4- turning on and off debug mode
5- mounting usb via cwm (pretty sure thats what i selected, hard to see with cwm so messed up)
6- uninstalling and re-installing kies+drivers
Any ideas?
***UPDATE: Fixed... installed 2.3.6 rom with red cwm, then installed PA through red cwm. Download mode now works and rainbow cwm fixed, doesn't make 100% sense but it is fixed...
Outstanding pls change title to SOLVED.

Ok so I jumped the gun early last night in assuming it was fixed. As my update states on red cwm and no rainbows, I can get into download mode through cwm (advanced menu). That's as far as I got last night before I went to bed, this morning I went to re-install PA since the phone was stuck at samsung logo (like PA thread says in installation procedures) and i got an installation error. Went into download mode to put today's update on it and found out the PC was unable to recognize the phone. I tried un-installing kies and just installing the infuse drivers, when i connect the phone i get an error saying the device is not recognizable. Tried un-installing the drivers and reinstalling kies+drivers and get the same device is not recognizable error. I also tried different usb cords and on a laptop and get the same device not recognizable on both computers.
Really at a loss now on what to do since the same error is happening on two different computers, something must be wrong with the phone or cwm? Unable to follow un-brick guides since odin won't recognize the phone... Any ideas?

Since you can get into CWM, there is still so much hope for you, it'll just require trying a bunch more stuff but you will figure out out.
IDEAS:
Did you try installing PA again via CWM? If you are still on red CWM, that means you're not on an ICS kernel yet. You want blue CWM. Maybe try installing the PA zip a couple more times after doing a wipe.
If you're still on red CWM, you might be able to still install a GB rom that might be on your SD card to at least get you out of the mess for now.
For Odin/Heimdell, did you try other other USB ports, besides the 1 on each computer? Can you still get into download mode via the battery pull + volume buttons? The USB cord can be plugged into the computer before you put the battery back. I would trust that before the CWM download mode. Do you get the construction sign triangle that says "do not remove target"? That's what you want for Odin or Heimdell.

First off thanks for the help!
I was on blue cwm before I installed PA, it gave me the raindbow cwm so i figured i had froyo bootloaders still, which is what started this whole mess.
I am still on red cwm but I can not install roms off my external zip since the phone isn't seeing it, even when i try to unmount/mount it through cwm. The only rom i have is PA which is on internal sd that my phone does see. Unfortunately every time I try to install that rom now it says "successfully installed" then has an error that starts with assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "aries".
Regarding the other USB ports I have tried multiple ports on multiple computers (3 now), my newer one doesn't have usb 1.0 so I know for a fact I was using a 2.0 port, I have tried ports directly connected to the mobo and ports in the front of the case.
And here is the kicker that's really messing me up and what makes me hit a brick wall with every single post I read about this problem. I do get the yellow construction sign that says 'do not remove target', when i plug my phone into the computer with that sign on the screen the computer immediately says 'USB Device Not Recognized', then 'Device driver software was not successfully installed'. What kills me is I get this error on all 3 machines I have tried so far, with different usb cables. Since im getting this error I can not do odin or heimdall.
Sounds super frustrating. I haven't been stuck like that in a while..
Maybe remove the "solved" from your post and others might have ideas too.
I don't know about your cwm, but on mine i can access my external sd through the option called "install zip from INTERNAL sd card." That is different than the usual "install from zip" option. It's a few options down from the regular "install from zip". It is totally backwards, but let's me install from my external sd.
You are obviously having driver issues...so here is this best thing to do...do not use Odin, just try heimdal http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
Heimdal does not require drivers from kies or Samsung....in fact it uses its own custom drivers
Run heimdal
Connect phone in download mode
Press flash
It may say it needs to install drivers, just do as it says and follow the onscreen instructions to install the custom drivers
Continue with the flash
***when it finishes do not close the heimdal...leave it open***
Put phone back in download mode and flash again,except this time check the box for flash bootloaders-that will fix rainbows
Download mode:
Pull battery
Put battery back in
Hold volume up+down simutaniously *don't touch that power button*
While holding both volume buttons plug USB into both phone and computer
***also make sure you have java installed or else heimdall might not work***

Just followed your instructions step by step. When the phone boots up in download mode i get a msg on the taskbar saying "usb device not recognized" and heimdall never changes from 'device status: disconnected", the big flash button is grayed out. I tried on two different desktops, tried different usb ports including 2.0 and 3.0, tried two different samsung branded cables. Frustrating

Tried both, although I am not 100% sure im in correct download mode manual way. When i enter download mode through red cwm i get the yellow construction sign but the pc never recognizes the phone it seems. Going the manual route the phone gets stuck on the samsung logo with the 4 buttons lit up on the bottom and the pc says "usb device not recognized". So it seems the PC is seeing something the manual route but the yellow construction sign never pops up.

The Samsung logo should not pop up at all so your either doing something wrong the manual way or your infuse doesn't wanna go the manual way
It may be that your power button is borked...been seeing that a little lately...
When entering download mode it should go straight to the yellow triangle thing or to the option to enter download mode or reboot phone...again when entering download mode you should never see the Samsung logo first

OK well that makes sense, the phone refuses to go into download mode the manual way. I am 100% positive I am not touching the power button during the process.
I am unplugging from usb and removing battery

re-inserting battery with volume buttons held
re-inserting usb cable with volume buttons held
it goes straight to samsung logo every time

if you put battery in without usb will it bootup to samsung logo by it self? if that happens then it supports the possibility that your power button is borked
also may wanna try this method to get into download mode as ive heard of it working for others
pull battery
hold volume keys
plug usb in
place battery back in
and as a last resort there's always usb jigs which i think you can buy for like 5 or 10 bucks on ebay

Ok progress is made! Not sure why it worked this time but I was able to get into download mode manually! The phone immediately went to the yellow construction sign. I cleaned out the area around the power button with an air compressor (not a can), was probably just real dirty from pocket scum. Heimdall still says disconnected
Ok semi-success!
Heimdall recognizes the phone now!
When i go to flash it pops up a window with some instructions for zadig.exe (wants me to select samsung usb in next window), however when i select options -> list all devices it doesnt show samsung usb in the drop down menu. Just 'Gadget Serial' 'Gadget Serial (Interface 0)' and my IR receiver (its a htpc that finally recognized the phone).
Not sure what to do now...
