can someone help me out please

Wanted to help but.....
I wanted to help you but I'm i worst situation than you....
- I have a new Samsung At&T captivate with Official 2.2 but semi-rooted !
- I downloaded "Bay_wolf's AIO Captivate Toolbox 2.5 & 2.6" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11178708
- Without knowing Android stuff, I played with "restore to Official ROM"
- Not my phone is opening at AT&T logo goes off ,AT&T logo goes off,AT&T logo goes off and so on....
- I tried to reach download mode (power+up, power+down,power+up+down, power+up+Home, power+down+Home and power+up+down+Home). I'm removing battery every tries I made.
- I even did them while without USB connected and USB connected.
NOW is my phone TOTALLY BRICKED??? Who has the knowledge to restore it?
I challenge the smartest Android Wizards to try!
I'll be waiting!!!

alright well both of you need to get out of the general forum and make your way to the Captivate forum. from there you will find a lot of threads that start a little like yours do with bricked and messed up phones. either ask your question in captivate general or do a search and find the answer.

I had the same issue. There's an issue with the leaked Froyo ROM's recovery.
Follow this thread (provided you actually are using the leaked Froyo ROM like I was : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423 .

Captivate stuck in bootloop. Help me get it back on track?

Hey everybody. I have a Samsung Captivate with CM7 installed. The other day it started bootlooping and I couldn't get it into recovery mode at all, so I ordered a Jig.
Now the Jig's here and I'm still not sure what I'm doing. I can't get into recovery with the button combos, so I'm kinda stuck. Any suggestions?

I would suggest that you use the jig to get into download mode, then do one of two things:
1. Flash a kernel that works with CM7 from Odin or Heimdall
2. Flash a stock rom from Odin or Heimdall, then reinstall CM7
You may want to try option 1 first, then option 2. If a bad kernel flash caused the issue in the first place, you might be able to save your installed programs & setup instead of having to wipe everything with a stock rom.

I've been trying unsuccessfully for the past couple of hours to flash back to stock. Odin keeps getting hung up on "Get PIT for mapping..." or the sbl.bin step. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or I have the wrong rom.
Anybody have a step-by-step? I'll owe you many thanks.
Otherwise I'll just have to go buy myself a Galaxy Note. Oh no.

And u may need the Nexus drivers since u r on cm7 ??

Two things to try first:
1. Use a Heimdall-based one-click. There's one in my signature (if you were on Gingerbread bootloaders), or you can look in the Stock Rom collection in the Development section. Heimdall uses different drivers and interacts differently with the device.
2. Try a non one-click Odin setup. You'll need to get full Odin and then see if you can find a package to flash from inside of it. Do a little searching in the Development section and you should be able to find these items. Some newer Captivates don't respond well to the one-clicks.
If those don't work, look at the "Connection Issues" thread in my signature for more ideas (4-2ndtwin beat me to it. )

[Completed] SGH-i337m problems

So a few days ago i downloaded a rom for my Telus SGH-i337m which gave me apps and the features from the S5. I installed it and all that, but then it failed. So i tried to use my back up but it was corrupted as well. So I thought i can go online and find a stock image, i found many, but then I think i installed the image for a GT505 by accident. This gave me my software back but then i could't use my wifi or my data. So i found a proper SGH-i337m rom and installed it, my wifi came back but my data didnt. I thought it was because of the wrong modem, so i installed a few different modems and nothing worked. But today when i downloaded a different modem and installed it using odin mobile pro. It was installing and it rebooted, but then it got stuck there with the ODIN logo. I removed the battery and turned the phone on but not it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..... please connect to kies". I tried that but my phone doesnt connect to the computer. HELPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You were on the right track until the phone got stuck. No worries, we will have you sorted out and on happy path.
First off pull the battery then while pressing Volume Down +Home+Power. Keep on pressing the buttons until you see Downloading Screen. This is called the Download Mode on your phone.
Next, please download PC Version of the Odin making sure the version is 3.07 or higher. Remove Kies or Odin won't connect to the phone. Also download the correct STOCK firmware for your phone. You can flash it via Odin on PC. Here are a few threads that will help you in this direction.
I believe that's a AT&T variant of Galaxy S4. So this thread [INDEX] All things AT&T MK2, NB1, and NC1 (including ROMs) should help. That forum also covers Canadian Variants of S4 as well just so you are aware.
Lastly, please feel free to post in [GUIDE][INFO] The beginner's info thread (aka. the noob helper)
if you find yourself still stuck.

which section do i put the .md5 file under in ODIN? i tried in AP but it failed

the video does not exist. Could you please provide me with step by step instructions? I'm seriously screwed, I need my S4 working soon

Please see this thread instead. [GUIDE] How to use ODIN for dummies

Greetings;
Your Issue: Your issue is related with something that went wrong while flashing something in your device.
You will most likely to solve it by entering CWM and Performing a Clean Flash or Factory Reset.
Follow my Thread for Further Info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-sl/general/rgxhost-ddlf2-complete-tutorial-t2837212
Just follow the Tutorial like you were going to Flash a new ROM.
I Recommend you to Flash ClockWork ModRecovery in First Place.
Then Backup your System and EFS (Folder and Files) -- If you lose this for some reason, you will be unable to make phonecalls.
If you're missing Drivers:
Download and Install Samsung Kies.
After instlling Kies; put your device under Download Mode, then plug your USB Cable.
This will install the Device Drivers for "Download Mode", and only then Odin will recognize it.
Restart your Computer (Sometimes the Computer will only recognize your Device after Restart).
If you still need help you can contact me through Skype and/or Request a Remote Control so i can try to help you out from here.
(Yes i know this is not "Safe" as you don't know me - But i really just want to help - No hacking, File or Privacy Stealing) -- Scouts Word! :good:
Anyway: I believe my tutorial is pretty much complete and that you will be able to manage it by yourself. Any doubts feel free to Repply to me again.
Recommended ROM's for i9003:
- DDLF2 (For me the Best Gingerbread Rom for this Device - Fast, Almost no Bloatware, and clean).
Note: If you experience Device Restart due to Lacking of RAM, install some application to manage it.
I.E: "Memory Manager" (You can Find it on Google Play) (Just Set to Optimal or Strict)
- Nameless ROM: The most updated Cyanogen 4.x ROM for this Device.
Although you must proceeed with caution, and have a FULL BACKUP (Incl. EFS Backups - The most different ways to backup as possible)
Note: With this ROM you wont have "FM Radio", your Battery will drain Faster; but you will have a incredibly fast 4.x ROM. (This will depend also on some of your tweak skills).
Safe Notes:
- To be safer and away from Bricks then i recommend you to Install either DDLF2 Custom Rom or Stock ROM (You can get Stock Rom's from Sammobile website. If any is unavailable you can request the ROM File(s). They will get it available for you).
I hope you can get it through.
Let us know how it went.
Best Regards;
Richard

S5670 won't start after unrooting

I tried to unroot my phone but it made my play store crash consistently so i tried and tried to wipe my device and tried to install a stock rom (i was completely new to android so i chose the wrong one i think) and it now doesn't start it just gets stuck on the boot screen that says galaxy fit. now i have a usb cable and i plugged it in and installed odin as per the guide for newbies (found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606380) but my phone isn't showing up. I have installed the appropriate drivers as far as i'm aware and googling doesn't offer any results that are useful to me. My phone's stock rom is S5670VAUQ2 which i managed to find on an alternative to sammobile (i don't really want to pay for one download, and they don't give me the option to do a slow download which i thought they used to) all help is much appreciated and hopefully there are still people who have this phone thanks
