Fully bricked Captivate? Please, help! Tried many things..

Hi everyone,
Here's my problem :
Since some few days, my Captivate won't start up, and won't connect anymore.
The screen stays black!
I tried usually things : removing battery,sim,microsd, then pressing vol up, down and power, connecting with ODIN3.. Nothing happends.
It was bricked after a custom ROM update. I did format data, cache and .. system ! As usually, because I tought formatting system was necessary. Maybe it was the wrong thing that made it crashes..
So, I thank you a lot for bringing me any help !!

could you give pls a little detail. as to what custom rom did you flashed, is it the froyo rom or ginger rom? and elaborate further on what did you do when this happens it might give other people here some more understanding on how to help you. If your your phone won't power at all and the soft bottons won't light up and won't respond with key combos or even a jig you likely had a perma brick as in hard brick.!!......If you are still on warranty no worries just tell them that your phone suddenly dies and that you have no clue what happens to it.
You can also try this if you like read the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020976&page=3

Thanks for your answer!
I flash many of my phones, so, unfortunately, I can't remember what kind of ROM it was! I also try many of those I can find on XDA.
Here's what happens :
Had formatted data,cache, and system. Then, flashed the ROM, and selected "reboot". Just after that, I was making coffee.. So, I came back 5 min after, and the phone was .. dead!
After many, many, many Captivate's ROM flashes (maybe 70 !?), first time it happends!
The phone is no more under warranty, so I can't do anything..
Btw, what is a "jig" ? Heard alot that word but..
And thanks for the thread, but I don't think there's a solution in it!?
I will browse it tomorrow, thanks
Thanks again for help!

The jig is usually the last resort for some. That is if holding volume up and volume down then plugging in the usb cable into your phone ( the other end being already plugged into your computer) does not put it into download mode.

U can either buy a jig from someone like mobiletechvideos on YouTube or make one urself using resistors (tutorials are scattered around the forum). U plug it into ur micro USB slot and it will put ur phone onto download mode. This works if ur phone is soft bricked and it may not work for u but definitely worth a try

Sounds like you flashed a single bootloader and hard bricked your phone. Either jtag it or buy a new one...

JIG2WIN4LIFE if you can still turn on your phone without a perma black screen anyways

Hi,
I took a look over "JIG" on eBay, and found it for approx. 8 $.
But it says it can be used for ALL cases, at the exception if the screen stays black ! And that's my case..
So, do I have to buy it anyway, or is it really dead?
I don't want to buy another one!
Thank you.

sometimes the jig works, if you take out battery, DO NOT TOUCH ANY BUTTONS, put in jig. worked for me.
BUT your phone is under 1 year old. it has a warranty. if it happens to get broken in a way that they cant tell, and can never read the phone again... you get a [email protected]!!!
think speaker magnet or
2 seconds in the microwave 1 or 2 times MAX.. dont want phisical dammage! and there is plenty of electronic parts to get messed up very easy this way

Wow, nuking it will cover your tracks if they try to access anything on it?

if it is electrically damaged and wont work, they cant access it, and they cant see your tracks...
and my buddy nuked a phone before, to destroy it for fun, there were sparks immediatly. if that happens the phone aint going to work anymore. so do it in very short bursts. you do not want any physical damage.
or wave it in-front of a LARGE magnet to degause it until it doesnt boot anymore.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, but my phone is no more under warranty..
There was no warranty when I bought it from USA (on eBay), and I'm living in Belgium! So, no way
I will have to try the JIG then.. I suppose it's my last chance

yup jig is your last chance..
now the other day i bricked and the jig wouldnt work either unitl I found a trick that helped my jig work. this worked FOR ME in my situation. not all.
remove battery count to 5 and replace battery
DO NOT TOUCH ANY BUTTONS
put in jig. download mode!!!!
if i touched ANY button the jig would not work. worth a shot.
jigs are about 8$ on ebay or can be made with a few resistors for a couple dollars. (or whatever currency you have in Belgium). there are many threads on how to make them in the captivate forums on xda here. just make sure not to touch the resistors with your fingers if you make one. use tape to hold it.!! good luck buddy!

Thanks a lot!
I will buy a JIG on eBay then.. It would be safer!
We are using Euro currency in Belgium . So, a JIG is approximately 6 €.
It's a cheap price for this kind of tool! But by the way, HTC has much more solutions to unbrick their devices..

Skyrocket randomly restarts and vibrates at 2 second intervals?

This has been happening for a few days now, the phone turns off and endlessly vibrates until I pull the battery, and then it does it again and again but it'll work for a few hours before it happens again... I've tried different roms but its still happening and it's getting very frustrating

does it do it on stock? And are you over clocked?

You mean like physically? Seems fine the phone just starts doing it randomly while it's just sitting on the bed. Right now it's not even turning on at all no matter what I try :/

...

Here is one example:

It's in download mode now, I'm going to try downloading stock Rogers ICS and see if the problem persists, if it does I still have 5 months of warranty so hopefully that'll be covered

Ok. You can try jamming on the power button repeatedly too...
Good luck!

no.
try this test, when it goes through the bootloop, keep the power button depressed w/out releasing it and see if it displays the same charactersistics as your bootloops, also count the seconds each situation has, if they are the same then the problem is the sticky power button

As posted earlier, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801226
It's the power button that is messed up, hands-down.
Try and try and try and sooner or later you'll probably get it. I could care less about the phone as I have a replacement coming, but I wanted to get my data off of it.
Open up you're phone if you're comfortable and mess with the power button directly some, either you're going to fix it long enough to get your data or break it completely...doesn't really matter at this point.
Just put the battery in and right after the phone vibrates hold the power button and see how lucky you are at getting it to last the full 8+ seconds instead of the usual 2 before it reboots and vibrates.
Once you get it working, don't touch that *****. As gently as possible, set it down and get your USB in, turn on Mass USB and debugging and copy your stuff. Put the timeout to the max or download an app so you don't have to touch the power button ever and just touch the screen every once in awhile if you don't have an app. Don't forget to reset your flash counter and reflash stock ODIN if you're rooted or on anything custom (Use ADB to reboot through all this)
Honestly...I let my phone restart on its own for a total of like 8 hours (I didn't care and honestly hoped it burnt up or something and was completely fried) and I watched it for a good chunk of the time and it never booted up on its own. After I took it apart twice and beat the hell out of the power button a good while I finally got it to work.
Repeatedly mashing it after 'attempting' to clean it and then pulling the battery/reinserting and seeing if it worked is how I finally got mine.
Now it's just a paper weight till the new one comes.
Edit: I find it weird that a lot more of these problems are popping up. I noticed a bunch of threads on various sites towards the end of June that had popped up and now some are here too recently. I guess the Skyrocket's cheap-feeling Power Button is indeed...cheap.

It isn't the power button. I posted this problem months ago and took it in to a device center. It was actually a battery issue where it connects into the phone. The charge going into the phone doesn't stick, causing it to flicker power and thus restart constantly. They never ended up getting my old one to turn on and never saw it was rooted and what not. Ended up just giving me a refurbished one.

well if it never turns on, then its not the sticky power button problem, the sticky power button has a reboot symptom at a consistent interval

Alright, I will definitely try and try until the phone turns on before taking it into the store. This has actually been happening for a few days now but I didn't really care too much because I was really busy and I thought since it turns on after a few tries, I'll just take the files off and return it to stock later. Also, yesterday someone gave the suggestion of repeatedly jamming the power button and that actually worked twice but after that it never worked again.
Is it possible to remove the back and fix the power button without voiding the warranty (are there any stickers)?
EDIT: I have it disassembled right now, what exactly should I do to the power button? I tried clicking it a few times and blowing at it nd I put the battery in but still the same thing
EDIT 2: Umm what looks to be the litmus paper on the inside is red.. the phone has never come in contact with water so how is this possible..
EDIT 3: Every housing I've seen online (4-5) has a red square on the housing so I'm guessing it comes in red by default? Either way I'm taking it to Rogers right now, they said I could have a refurbished for 35 or I can just repair this one so I'm just going to repair it and hopefully the files will be preserved.
My only concern.. the phone running Juggernaut 5 right now LOL and the internal SD is full of rom zips and kernels so hopefully they don't look at that, or don't care. Once they repair the phone, what can they really do tho? Break it again nd send it back? haha

I would just fiddle with the power hoping for the best.
As far as your roms go, I doubt it'll be a problem. A) They're not going to get the phone to turn on anyway. They're probably just going to repair the button and reflash before they even check anything. Either way, like you said, the worst case is they find it but you already have your replacement...maybe they'll try charging you the phone, throw a hassle and offer to cancel your service and tell them to send you your "unwarranteed phone" and the button repair bill and they can have theirs back. I don't seem them getting you for it. All they might do is check the flash counter which probably hasn't been tripped if you didn't use a bad ODIN.

Flash counter is at 0, I checked when I managed to get into Download mode before it stopped working altogether. Juggernaut 5 is a rom for the Hercules (T989) and that's not the problem, I've used it before and I only flashed it after the problem started because I thought ICS was the problem, but it stayed even after flashing Juggernaut.

so what did u end up doing, fool around w/the power button or did u bring it in

[Q][SOLVED] Infuse 4G Bootloop Fix?

My brother's girlfriend has an SGH-i997r (the canadian varient of the Infuse 4G for Rogers) and it was stuck in a bootloop one day, it would show Rogers logo, Samsung logo, black screen, repeat. She removed the battery and it then changed the bootloop to a loading icon, then an empty battery logo, black screen, repeat.
I figured I would give it a go and try to see what I could do with it and I found some stuff that just says this is a power button problem and to clean out the power button however I found out it's the actual button on the board that's malfunctioning.
I took a stab at it by attempting to reflow the motherboard and after reflowing, the board was cool and I assembled the phone just enough to turn it on and it actually started up to the Samsung animated boot logo this time then half way though it stopped and turned off again but then it came up with the battery icon and started charging.
So if I just focus the reflow area to the power button alone I think I may be able to fix this without replacing the physical switch on the board itself so I'll keep posted on how this goes as this may be another new alternative to fixing the bootloop problem with these phones and if anyone else has any tips I could try to alternativly fix this if it still doesn't work it would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
It got it working but the power button is still very touchy and needs to be replaced. It turns out that reflowing these boards will allow the power button to start functioning again or at least long enough that you can back up all of your data/restore to stock ROM before sending it in to Samsung.
I hope this helps anyone else with this problem. It worked pretty good for me, I just held a hair drier over the board with it facing away from me so the power and volume buttons were facing towards me (as if the LCD would be facing me and the battery facing away from me) and I heated it up for 1 minute, let cool for 1 minute, and I would repeat this for about 10 minutes in total and it starts up every time now, it just turns the screen off if I ever so lightly brush my finger along the power button, other then that though it's working and I'm sure she'll be pleased it didn't cost a cent.
Best of luck to anyone else with this problem.

Yeah, I didn't think of that
I fixed the phone completely, she ordered some new buttons off of eBay for a buck with free shipping, gave them to me and I removed the existing buttons and changed all of them to new ones and now the phone works perfect. I guess as a temporary fix you can reflow the board to the point where you can back up your data, but for a long term fix you need to replace the buttons.
I hope this helps anyone else having this problem. I may have pictures of the process still I can upload if anyone is interested or needs help.

[Q] Power button broken, need help/advice

Hello,
So last week I woke up and my power button stopped working. I looked around for similar issues and found quite a few stores selling a power flex cable (I attached a picture of it because I am a new member and cannot post the URL for the site, but it's easily found using google)
Since it was only six dollars, I ordered it without much thought. Just looking at the cable, it looks like it would fit into a connector rather than needing soldered onto a board, so I figured it would be pretty simple.I finally received it, and after looking around at a bunch of teardowns and the service manual, I do not see this cable or connection anywhere I was going to just open it up and check it out, but didn't want to risk not being able to turn the phone back on.
I am looking for advice! Specifically, if there is a way to power the phone back up without having to use the actual power button, I'd love to know.
FWIW, my phone is not rooted and factory stock
Thank you!

Bumping because I would really like to get this fixed! Not sure if this may go over better (or would be appropriate) on the i9300 forum.
Any help would be awesome!

Back up your phone in the way you see fit. Try and fix button. If you fix it yer done. If not buy a jig. The jig will get you into odin mode. Plug phone into computer. In odin make sure that auto reboot is checked. Flash something like a recovery. Once it finishes flashing it will auto reboot. Enjoy.

Use the home button to wake and a gesture gesture app to put a custom action to turn the screen off. Or put a screen off action on your home screen. Wherever you want

Disabled power button but it reboots my phone if I touch it

Hello,
I have a Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.4 and CyanogenMod 11. Like always, it had been working really find untill today, when it started to reboot and entered in a loop. I found out that it was because the power button was broken and with the lightest touch, it would activate.
Searching through the Internet I found out that many people happen to have this problem. I tried to disable the power button editing a file that is found under /system/usr/keylayout/qpnp_pon.kl, where I had to simply comment the line where the power button was.
Now, if I click the power button it doesn't happen anything, like I was expecting, but after 30 seconds of clicking it, it shuts down and it reboots like if it was an internal error or someting similar that caused that reboot.
Is it possible that disabling it the way I did could cause any type of problem that made it reboot after touching it?
I know it's an internal problem or something like this because when I touch it, it doesn't lock the screen or show the power menu, so the button itself is kind of "disabled", but it keeps causing this problem.
Is it good what I did? How can I solve it?
Thanks!

I had the same issue unfortunately. My N5 is still at LG for repair and it's taking much longer than they told me. Which is good of course. Like most smartphones now though, a 10 second power button hold will forcefully reboot the phone. It's hardcoded in the phone and no matter how much you try to disable it through the OS it won't make a difference until the rogue button is physically taken off the motherboard. If you're in Europe though and your phone is still in it's 2 year warranty I would strongly suggest flashing a factory image, relocking and calling LG (or Google, if the device came from Google).
Hope this helps.

Well... It's been like three years since I bought it, so I guess the warranty is over...
And if I want to disable it, I will have to do it manually and disconnecting it of the motherboard, am I wrong? I guess I'll either have to live with this problem or buy a new phone... Today it's not my lucky day! Hahahaha
Anyway, thanks for your reply!!

Many owners have the power button issue. A competent cell repair shop should be able to replace it.

Yes, that's true, I've found a lot of people over the Internet with the same problem.
By the way, I could finally solve my problem; after searching for a while, I found a YouTube video that showed a peculiar way of solving it... And it actually worked!
Well, it looks like I cannot put the link because I'm under 10 posts :cyclops:
Well, here's the video code if anyone is interested: _QpSSCifxAw

Thanks for your replies!

Are you referring to banging the power button? It wouldn't work for my friend's power button. He had to have it replaced because it failed a multimeter test, apparently.

Yep, exactly!
Like the video said, I bumped my phone a little bit because the power button was kinda stuck inside the phone, and that really worked...
I was amazed! And I'm so happy it worked! No need of having it replaced. [emoji16]
