Ok i finally found out how to root and flash my SGS4G and after finishing everything the phone got into a rolling restart loop with a rainbow screen. Trying to use odin to return to stock but it doesn't stay on for more than 10secs so Odin cannot really do anything....
Help?
Can you get into download mode?

The rainbow screen means you flashed a gb ROM on froyo boot loaders. What ROM did you flash? Is Odin recognizing your phone?

Audiophile-ftw-newbuild. Odin sees my phone but the phone is restarting before i am able to do anything. I cannot get on download mode because i cannot see anything on my rainbow screen. Only a t-mobile logo at the beginning saying Galaxy S 4g
Here is the link for the ROM

This is what i got for trying to work on it at 4am. I did not install the bootloaders for GB as you said. Anything that I can do to fix it?
Did you even try to get into download mode?
pull battery out then turn it on while pressing both volume buttons, and have USB connected. I don't remember exactly how to get into download mode, but try everything, then you Odin to a froyo ROM and start over.

yes i did. I managed to make stop restarting, odin sees the phone on com3 and i am trying to flash it back to stock but Odin stacked on setupconnection for a while now (10mins)
Just to clarify a few things since i am new to this. (i flashed my vibrant with no issues many times before)
Where do i add the *.tar file in Odin? PDA-Phone-CSC?
I had that issue.. powered the phone and the computer off and on... plugged the phone in after Odin was up and went into download mode then it worked.

This is what you need to do:

Once you get to step 11 you can flash Audiophile again (or any other GB ROM you wish). This will install the bootloaders you need and fix the "rainbow screen".
i managed to fix it and i got black_ice. I am on the "wait 10mins" part and then have to restart one more time. We will see what happens. If it doesn't work i will follow your steps

Glad you got it working. Just make note of which roms are froyo 2.2 and which are gb 2.3. They require different boot loaders and the only way to change boot loaders is with Odin. I hate Odin because of the frustration when it freezes, stalls, or doesn't recognize the device. To each h his own though

ok i flashed black ice when it boots though there is an android logo on top of the t-mobile logo and the phone doesn't seemed to change anything.
I am currently running on KD1 baseband and v3.0 bali_sgs4g kernel what did i do wrong?
Did you read the black ice thread? The whole thing? That would be a good place to start. I don't recommend black ice for your first flash though, allot of people never got it to work or went through hell to make it work.

The andoid logo over the T-Mobile logo is normal from what I understand. I had that issue as well when I was on froyo.
If you are still experiencing other issues, I would suggest restoring a nandroid backup (if you have one) and starting over fresh: install a fresh kernel and ROM. If you want to stick with froyo, I suggest drhonk's Bali v3.3 kernel, and any of the froyo ROMs will be fine.
If you want to try GB, follow the link that I posted earlier to find FB's GB Starter Pack.
well i just reflashed again, im waiting for the phone to boot up..my issue was that the phone looked stock and couldn't find any themes or something to change it. i read the thread, i guess my question is the theme that i saw on the screen shots of black ice, does it come with it or not because im getting really confused with this thing lol
Axura was much easier on my vibrant....
So the only issue you have now is that the phone looks stock?
i followed your guide and i was able to flash it everything looks ok. thanks all for the help and special thanks to ultimakillz

The autoroot kernel will not run your phone. It boots, installs root, and then reboots the phone. You now need to install a normal kernel.
Try downloading the 7.0A kernel from here and loading that through odin.
Hi,
I am an owner of a AT&T Captivate and successfully rooted and installed multiple custom ROMs, however, a friend of mine got the same exact phone (Samsung Captivate) and followed the same processes and now it's bricked.
I'm unable to enter download mode at all.
It was running Eclair 2.1 and then upgraded to Froyo 2.2 using KIES.
However, I was trying to install the same ROM I have on mine which is AOKP based on ICS, the phone on froyo was was rooted however CWR was not being installed, I was having the issue with the signature fail.
Story short, tried this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091465 , got stuck, restarted phone in download mode and got to the screen with the exclamation mark.
Any ideas?
Use that screen as Download Mode screen. If that doesn't work...make or buy a Jig.

I agree with this and if by accident you improperly flash odin one click(which is what i did), even when the phone doesnt turn on at all, you still have a chance to fix it use these methods to get into download mode and then flash odin one click http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode
So I'm rooting my friends infuse for him. basically flashed in odin but after that went through i was stuck at the samsung boot logo for 45 minutes. I did a battery pull and tried again with same result. So i tried getting back into download mode because it would not let me get into the stock recovery at all and it let me. Tried to reflash using odin and in the middle in the middle of it, it stopped and came onto the yellow triangle screen as shown in the pic. now cant get into download or boot or anything. ive tried using odin even though its not in download mode to flash a stock kernel but it just keeps connecting and disconnecting because now the computer wont read the device. Is there anyone who has had this issue and can help or have i completely bricked his phone. And for the record he is no longer on AT&T he is using straight talk so he cant just go into the AT&T store anymore. Thanks for any help you can give me
Try to use qkster hemidall package

I was able to get in to download mode and and run the Odin to install GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_X.X.X.X.tar however; after reboot the phone is stuck by Samsung Galaxy S2 GT0i9100 with the yellow triangle and exclamation mark. It will not boot in to recovery mode by pressing volume up+home+power button.
Running Odin v3 1.83 + GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.0.2 on official ICS that I rooted couple of days ago using odin....
I have tried this several times with the same result. Tried removing the battery and rerun the same procedure without success. The only thing I can do is go to Clockworkmod recover... I even restored using the settings there...
Any ideas?
