I was updating to froyo using the Odin installer and for some reason it stalled. I waited 10 minutes and nothing happened, it was stuck on DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!! aaand being the genius that I am reset the Odin installer and phone...now I get nothing. The phone is completely unresponsive, no ! screen or anything.
Am I screwed?
edit: sorry for posting this in the wrong forum, please move to Q&A if a mod gets a chance.
close EVERYTHING, take everything out of your phone (sim, battery, and sd card.) then put the battery in but DONT TURN IT ON. have your usb cable ready. hold the two volume buttons down, and then plug in your usb cable to the phone (it should be plugged into your comp) WITHOUT PRESSING ANY POWER BUTTONS. if you get back into downloader mode, you are fine and can then restore using odin or the i click restore
hmmm, well try this take out the battery sim card and ex sd if u got one, open odin, put the battery back in and plug the usb in while holdin the volume buttons, aka download mode... sometimes it doesnt work the first time just try it a couple more...
I did this with my phone. If nothing comes on screen when you plug in the USB cable and entering recovery and download mode don't work, then take thye phone back to AT&T, they accepted my bricked phone back. Just act dumb like you have no clue why it's broken.
I have a similar issue, however I can still get into the downloader..but it just hangs when restoring on factoryfs.rfs....
Any suggestions on that?

It seems my phone is fully bricked, I tryed the download method with taking out everything. Nothing turns on, its completley blackscreened. I did have it working, but now its completley unresponsive.

Are you doing the method where you remove the battery first, hold the volume buttons (without power) and plug into USB? That *SHOULD* get you into download mode- if not, maybe check a different USB port.
Up and running, with Froyo to boot! Thanks again and good luck to those with problems. Thanks for the welcome again and I've made a donation in the site for saving my ass $500

Can you clarify? Did you successfully upgrade to froyo or incur and error somewhere in the process. When you say that "nothing happens" what exactly does that mean?
What does ODIN show when you try to upload?

Upgrade to Froyo successfully. Want to go back to 2.1 after using One Click Odin JF6 rom, it never ends. Following on from here, probe with OCD Froyo, eclair, odin and any rom could do to finish flashing. He stays in zImage and shows the status bar.
Any idea I can try?

This may seem elementary but I noticed your tag says your location says Buenos Aires. Are you sure you have a Captivate and not an i9000?

Guys, good news! I recovered the phone and install Froyo. My error was that it came to how to download and then disconnect the USB and reconnected.
Joe K Captivate works perfect in Argentina because it uses the same bands as AT & T, send me a friend who lives in NYC, obviously unlocked.
Thank you all for your concern, I return to live!
Hi all,
My Samsung Galaxy phone is stuck on the Samsung boot up logo. I shut off the phone and it starts up again to the Samsung logo again. I am rooted but still had the stock rom and kernel.
I went to selections and wiped my cache and tried to format it like a new phone. The same thing still happens. I am not sure what else to do. Anyone know how to fix this?
Keep the instructions simple please, if you do know. (I'm a desperate noob)
Thanks for any help.
IF you ever did nandroid than just restore that otherwise.........
Hey first follow this steps to flash any rom. If you flash the rom properly than you can use any stock rom from dev section and use that.
OR
follow this step to go back to stock and it will unroot you.

Same Problem
My problem is that my Rogers SGSII LTE I727R, is stuck on the logo screen, which is flashing the boot screen. When I connect the USB (even after install of Kies and Odin), my PC does not see the device. I am really not sure what to do. I think I set the wrong phone ID when I installed recovery (I think I was supposed to use the T-Mobil SGSII setting), but I selected something else. I then tried to backup the existing ROM, and am now in this unending loop. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
Follow these steps it will help you go back to stock. ANd reroot your phone.

Try a different USB port. Avoid rear ports and hubs.
OK, i will try that on a different computer, as I have tried all of the available ports on my laptop. Any other thoughts?

Have you uninstalled kies? If not uninstall it from your PC. Put your phone in download mode and see if Odin can see the phone.

Try another USB port or another computer. If you can get the logo you are in a boot loop, the most common form of a soft brick. If you can get into download mode you should be able to fix it.

Another thought is to try turning off firewall and antivirus when using Odin. I've never had my firewall or antivirus block Odin but I've heard it can happen...
Can you get into download mode? Hold the two volume buttons down, then plug the usb cable into your phone, then you should be in download mode.
I cannot get into download mode. I just keep getting the flashing boot screen, with the corresponding vibration.

What he said. Pull the battery and put it back in. Hold volume up/down and plug in USB. Continue holding volume buttons until you see download mode. Careful not to press the power button during this process.

I like how u guys are really trying to help him. Let u guys know that on my first responce I gave him all the steps on how to go back to stock. So if he followed that and nothing happened than he should try USB jig if that don't work than its hard brick!!

Don't panic. If you're in a boot loop it's fixable. It's when you get nothing that you need to worry about a hard brick.
Try the button combo mentioned above to get into download mode. If that doesn't work, pull the battery again and try using just the volume down button button--I've heard people say this worked for them when they had a hard time.
If this doesn't get you into download mode, I guarantee you that a jig will work. You can buy one online or make one yourself for about 75 cents and a cut-up data cable (I had a car charger that I didn't need--car charges the phone through USB port, so I cut that one up). Always good to have a jig, at any rate...

Yup, when I rooted my phone, the only way I could get it into download was volume DOWN & power.

I've tried to search but cannot find a solution. I had Hellfire ICS running on my G2X and today while trying to access the weather it froze. I pulled the battery and now it will not power back on. I can connect it to the computer and I can hear it connect but I cannot reload nvflash. It gets stuck trying to initialize bootloader. I've pulled the battery and tried everything that has been mentioned but no luck. Any help is appreciated.
G2X Will Not Power On.. answer
Just had the same problem your phone is probably toast .Find the file G2X_V21E_00_NVFlash ,download,unzip,unplug battery,plug in usb click on flash.bat . Make sure you have Nvidia usb drivers installed and make sure you use a fresh rebooted pc. Also persistance maybe necessary It may take 1 attempt or a dozen. Once it flashs the stock system and boots up if it freezes again send it back .
This procedure returns the phone to unrooted factory stock Good luck
I've called T-Mobile and they are sending me another G2X.... Still trying to get this one working. I don't like being beat.

Do you hear it connect or see it? Open device manager and verify that it shows as some nvidia device (boot something) under usb before applying nvflash.

It does connect as APX while connecting it to usb but will not turn on. I will say that after repeatedly trying to install the stock flash as jdakk1982 had suggested it finally went to the boot screen but froze half way through. Now when I connect it to usb whether i'm holding the volume buttons or not it will connect as APX but I cannot get it to power on in apx mode again.

Assuming this was done with battery out. Can you try with everything removed (battery, sim, sd card) and see if it works? If it does not I am afraid you may have a brick .
Boot loader should initialize... unfortunately this is a must step (but you probably already know that).

I have same problem as OP but I did overclock to 1.4 Ghz - I had just flashed the T15 kernel and was running quadrant when the phone froze. Did a battery pull and nothing. Will not boot, will not turn on. Guess its probably toast but any ideas of what I could try?
I had to get a new phone... I did notice that the battery was completely dead but it still would not turn back on. I replaced it with t-mobile.

Got it working...
Thanks for the link ratza (I bookmarked it) but I did get it up and running. It would not power on for almost 24 hrs and I could not connect it to PC. With battery out and plugged in PC did not see it.
It took a different battery to get it to boot. Even after that I could not get into Clockwork recovery either from the app or by holding down power / down buttons. I tried about a 2 dozen times. It took an older SD card that had a nandroid backup that finally worked.

Just happened to me
This same thing just happened to me no more than two hours ago. After searching through the net I found that there was really nothing I can do because I do not own a computer. So after giving up hope because no one has posted anything recently I decided to just bull**** with the phone. I took the battery out sim and SD card. Plugged USB cord into USB wall mount charger plugged it into the phone without battery held down the power and vol- button all of a suddon LG screen flashes turns off. I quickly put battery in left it plugged in pushed same two buttons and it came to life. Hopefully thus helps anyone who's searching with no luck
my usb port has failed. i cant charge, or get it to work on a computer at all. if i restart it while its plugged in it will show its "charging" but looses about 1% battery every 5 mins. is there a way to return to stock, unroot, and remove clockwork without the use of a computer and odin, cause i cant get it to recognize, even trying on 3 different computers, and the toothpick trick, and restarting it while plugged in. the techs i talked to said the usb seems to have failed, and to do a factory warranty im sure it needs to be total stock, and my custom counter was never tripped. thank you in advance

First try with a different cable. Often times this does fix things at least for a bit. Secondly if that does not work, then while plugged in remove the battery, wait for a few seconds say 15 or so, and replace the battery. Hold in the power button while doing so, as well as you can try the Vol + & - buttons. See if that gets you into recovery.
If all fails, then you might end up having to pay to have the usb repaired.
I believe vincom has posted an excellent method for unrooting and returning to stock without Odin in his stickies. I suggest you take your search there.
I've tried several cables to no avial. I can unroot using vincoms method but that still boots clockwork not Odin since the USB has failed . I didn't know if there was a way to remove it since it wont boot stock recovery. I have all the stock fw just no way to flash.
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA
If you can temp-root by any means, do that and from temp root use dd to overwrite the recovery with stock one.

Your having problems with your phones USB port.
bender is right, there is a link in my "restore to stock" and the 1stop sticky for returning to full stock w/a dead usb port if you can get into cwm/twrp, i asked for it to be stickied but to no avail, here you go HOW TO INSTALL STOCK ICS W/OUT ODIN USING CWM/TWRP - even w/a DEAD USB Port , its really easy, all files needed are in the op, you just need to be able to boot into cwm or twrp, but be warned, if you install the stock recovery on a phone w/a dead usb port you wont be able to install a custom recovery again, so make sure the flashed stock firmware boots properly before flashing the stock recovery.
I found it and it sticks in bootloop. Sorry I left my working phone at work and couldn't reply. I can't get it to wipe it freezes but I see your post to fix it ill try that. Thank you vincom I just kept missing it spazzing lol.

you need to get into recovery and do a reset data and wipe cache partition, you should be good by then, you did get to the part to flash the stock recovery right, if yes then it really doesnt matter since it is stock and you are returning for warranty repair/exchange
My phone just wont turn on anymore. The led does not turn on when charging. I'm rooted but it was running fine for months on the same rom. i thought it was battery but my friend has the same phone so we switched batteries and his phone worked fine with my battery but my phone was still the same with his. Not sure what else I can do. Any ideas?
Did you do anything to it recently? Flash a ROM, wipe, drop it anything? If not, I think your phone is just dead.
