I got a little happy last night and tried tinkering with my SGS, and ended up causing it not to boot up. It currently just sits at the Samsung Galaxy S 4G logo screen, so now I'm just trying to go back to stock and start over.
I do not have odin (still not really sure what it is), but I do have CWM and I've wanted to flash this rom; but towards the end of the thread, some users say not to flash this and to use some other rom with odin instead.
Also, this rom won't even flash in CWM. It just says "installation aborted."
Thanks
I just tried flashing this with Odin, using these instructions, and I just got the bricked screen......
Can someone please help me.
recover a nandroid backup...
If you can't figure out Odin, but can boot into recovery, reinstall packages to get into CWM. Then you can restore to your last nandroid backup.
I can no longer boot into recovery or download. I'm stuck at the screen with the phone and computer with the yellow triangle in between. Odin still recognizes my phone when I plug it in (I think), but that's it. Also, I don't understand what there is to "figure out" about odin anyway. I followed the directions exactly, and the flash simply failed in Odin and when I rebooted, I got stuck at the bricked screen.
Looks like a trip to T-Mobile is in order...

YOU DID NOT BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!!!
when i pulled the cord on my phone during download mode and odin it gave me the same screen as you
THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT ITS BRICKED
your computer will still recognize your phone and SO WILL ODIN!
that screen is basically another download mode
heres what you do:
download whitehawkx kd1 deodexed
go into download mode like you normally would and plug the phone in
you will notice that odin still recognizes your phone
in odin ONLY press the PDA option and then choose whitehawkx PDA_KD1 file
flash and wait for reset.... then BAM your phone has the new kd1 rom and its not bricked
i promise you the screen your getting doesnt mean a brick, ive seen that screen like 10 times throughout my flashing days
^ omfg man, you seriously just saved my entire Sunday. I have no idea why it didn't work like this when I first tried it, I literally went through the same steps.
Thank you so much.

yea you need:
Odin
any sgs4g rom like whitehawkx kd1 deodexed
take your battery out, put it back in and hold both the up and down volume buttons, then while holding them down plug your phone into your computer via usb and you will enter DOWNLOAD MODE from there you open odin on your computer and click only the PDA option look for the whitehawkx pda_kd1 file you downloaded and click start
that should fix it
Biggggggggggg Thanks
Sorry but I started a new thread ... before you answered.. my bad.. but on the new thread.. I have a few questions
Have similar problems plz help.

Flash it with one of the options you've been linked to by Kyndig. The first two are for Odin the last for Heimdall. That's an alternate DL mode your looking at. It still works the same.

Thanks it worked.:good:
my captivate was rooted with MIUI installed on it. since for some reason camera was failing, i flash back to stock and sent it to samsung for repair.
i got it back yesterday, and they had installed 2.2x froyo.
inorder to reinstall MIUI again I used Odin final revo(the one you dont have to select pit etc).
it passed and then when the phone reboot, it stuck there. now I cannot go back to download/recovery mode or any mode.
everytime when i try to go back to download mode it stuck in battery charge
any help?
You need to make or buy a jig. You need your phone in download mode. There is hope for your Captivate.

Most of the new/refurb phones that ship with froyo can't be flashed back to jf6. You need to flash it with either KB1 or KB2.

Research and reading. Find a kb1/2 thread, read the first post in those threads. Wouldn't hurt to read the last 10-15 pages of the thread.
So im trying to go from pinnacle to cm7. I usually flash back to stock jf6. Now it was taking insanely longer than normal. So i unplugged it to try again. And I got the yellow triangle. It says Firmware upgrade fail! Try using recovery mode. Ive tried the different ways to get back into download mode (These have the GB bootloaders) I cannot get back into download mode or recovery at all. Any Suggestions? I also have a Jig and that doesnt work either. Pls Help!
ugh False alarm...sorry...apparently the GB bootloaders throw it automatically into download mode, it just doesnt say download mode...bleh...Can I have a mod delete this thread please...I apologise in advance...

No point flashing to jf6 ever.. You could have just flashed cm7 right.over pinnacle or any other rom for that matter.

I have cwm on my phone when i boot it it stays at the att logo. I tried clearing data and then flashing the rom zip file and it still stays at the att logo.
I put the phone in DL mode and when using odin packages it says all threads completed. But it does not do anything, i tried 2 odin files.
I did this same exact process on another phone and fixed it fine. That now has the latest rom on it, but this phone is not allow me to complete it.
Search for One Click Unbrick in development.
tried that it said successful but still stuck at logo, i went back into download mode and tried odin but same problem says all threads completed
Use a jig, get download mode, and flash a stock ROM.
so my dl mode is not working properly?
Jig is just the easiest way. If you can get it another way, use that method. But you need to be in download mode to flash a stock ROM. I would recommend kb2, as all captivates can run it.
Also, you might want to check that you have a kernel supported by the rom. Some roms have you flash kernels beforehand, and if you don't your phone gets stuck in a boot loop...

I was going to say that as well, but you beat me to it.
If you want to get to download mode, just turn the phone off (pull the battery, it doesnt matter how you get it off really). Open your 1click, hold both volume keys at the same time, and plug the phone in via usb.
What rom are you trying to flash?

If you can get into download mode, you don't have to use a jig; I find the easiest way is to hold down both volume buttons while plugging in the USB cable. While the phone is off of course.
If you can get into download mode, you should be able to flash to stock with ODIN one-click.

Even if your phone is shown the "Phone---!---PC" screen .. ODIN should still recognize it being attached to your computer .. My first SGS2 Skyrocket did this in which I was able to reflash back to stock using ODIN v1.85 .. however, my first SGS2 took a real crapper for some reason .. that even the USB JIG was unable to get the phone into Download Mode.
I now have a replacement in which I'm being REAL careful with .. LOL

Do you have usb Jig. If no than you can make ur own. Let me find you solution to ur problem. And if you have any other device that uses micro usb than try plugging the usb cable to ur phone and see if thats gets u in dload mode.

Morning y'all... having a similar problem... I was rooted but for some reason when in Recovery I'd only get Android Recovery??? I got CWM installed using ODIN (This is the tread I used... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526) . Then I went and tried to install miuiscotland_I9100-2.1.13... said install was complete... went to reboot from CWN... and nothing.
I tried pulling battery, going into recovery, download mode, the jig... and nothing... doesn't even look like it's charging... no spark at all?
So I have no phone as it stands right now.
Any comments, suggestions, hints, tips, tricks?

You are hard bricked. You flashed a i9100 rom over a i727 device.
Only advice I can give is drop it in the toilet if you have insurance on the phone and get a replacement, or call your carrier's warranty department and tell them your phone just stopped working (not particularly ethical and you could get caught if they figure out it was rooted, but worth a shot...).
Oh, and the other advice is NEVER flash roms meant for devices other than the Skyrocket. Roms meant for the original S2 will brick your phone.

No need for a jig here (though it is good to have one anyways). If you get the "firmware upgrade failed" screen, just plug the phone in and if Odin sees your phone you can flash the stock tar. The "failed" screen won't look like it's doing anything but after Odin finishes you will be back to stock and life will be good again.
