EDIT:
odin crashed while going back to stock then
my phone will get to download mode buuuuut.. my computer doesnt recognize my phone...
i re-downloaded drivers and the phone is recognized however odin failed the 2 times i got it in dl mode(took about an hour to get it each time)... so i have a jig ordered but with odin not working im not feeling optimistic
nothing seems to happen when its plugged into the wall no battery icon. i reinstalled drivers hoping that would help with no luck.. i just got it back in dl mode after like an hour of it not turning on for me but it doesnt do anything once i get it there.
Get odin3 one click and use it in dl mode. It will brg ur phone back to stock
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
definately problem of bad USB..either cable or port....try using different USB cable or different computer....Use full odin by iCezar...its with minimum risk....specially very beneficial in cases like yours....
my pc doesnt see my phone. thats the issue i cant use odin. and the only thing my phone will do is glow black or go to download mode, idk if its charging but its getting hard to get it in dl mode, multiple tries atm no luck
i have already tried reinstalling the drivers. what are they called so i can delete them and install again rather then just redownload maybe that will help?

did you always had this problem or just when in DL mode? if you always had this problem then ofcourse something wrong with USB port...but if its only for DL mode then u remove and redownload drivers....

nope this only happened AFTER my crash on odin. my pc has always seen the phone.
try connecting your phone to pc when odin is already running. See whether it detects. Mine worked this way.

thats not a big deal, just get it in download mode, and flash it with odin.
EDIT: might as well us this post to say what my computer says with usb since i got in in dl mode again...
USB device not recognized
one of the usb devices attached to this computer has
malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it.
then something about for assistance in solving this issue click here
this has happened to me acouple times, the first was my fault I pull the usb before odin finished. I could get back into Download mode but Odin would not see the phone and computer would not recognize the phone either, device not recognized.
I tried rebooting, re-installing drivers etc. did not work.
but after an hour or so I finally got it to recognize and odin'd back to stock and back to flashing I was.
this is what I did hope it works for you.
1. disconnect all usb devices
2. un-install captivate drivers
3. reboot computer
4. goto device manager and verify that there is no USB device errors, if there is delete them and reboot again verify again in device manager.
5. install captivate drivers
6. reboot computer
7. start ODIN (DG or iCezars, iCezars is safer)
8. plug USB cable into the computer first (the one that came with the phone not an after market one)
9. hold both up and down volume buttons on the phone
10. plug the usb cable into the phone quickly to get into download mode (if I plugged the phone is slowly ODIN did not recognize the phone no COM, once I did it quick and it picked it up)
11. push START as soon as ODIN shows the COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4 etc (this had to be done quickly too, If i waited ODIN would show the COM but still would not start flashing back to stock)
this worked for me more than once I hope it helps you good luck
oh ok thanks, ill give that a try when i get off of work. i hope my battery doesnt die idk if its charging or not
well no luck even getting back to download mode. i bought a jig so i guess im waiting and trying while i wait.
i keep reading its possible to completely brick if odin fails... did i perma brick?
well a bump of sorts, the jig should come in the mail tomorrow. i miss my phone
jig came in the mail, im working on a few failed odin3 attempts but as i freaked out and started typing this post it seems like a great success. the jig works wonderful

I have not had to do this but I know some others had issues with Odin and had to right click on Odin and run as administrator for it to work. Also the Odin 1 click should work in almost any situation to get you back to stock. The only worry (again never had the problem) is that depending on the build version of the phone you could lose the three button recovery. Look for the Odin that DG posted.

So, to start off, the issue at hand is not download mode, I can get into that quite easily. It's that neither one click odin or regular odin won't recognize it. I've gone back to stock so many times without issue, but this particular time I tried, it froze on sbl.bin. My screen turned a greenish black, and stayed on that for about 10 minutes before I decided it was frozen and I did a battery pull. Tried it again and the exact same thing happened. Now, windows says "One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it"
I was going from icezar's Darky's 5.5 to stock when this happened. I've gone from the first i9000 2.2.1 stock rom back to stock 2.1 with no problems before. Any ideas? I've also reinstalled drivers, and I still get that error. also, my power button doesn't do squat when it's completely powered off. Only the volume up+down button combo can bring the download screen up, other than that, no go.
Ouch - You've reinstalled the drivers.
Odin doesn't see it when you have download mode and the USB plugged in.
Can you get ADB to see the device while in download mode?
You had USB Debugging turned on before things went south?
Hmm.. you could try:
Turn on ODIN
Remove the SIM, external SDCard, and battery.
Hold down both volume buttons - plug in the USB cable then jam in the battery and see if ODIN will recognize it then.
But.. if you can't get the computer to recognize your device even after re-installing the USB Drivers?
eh you might wait for a few more posts - but I think you might be fubard.
so you went into download mode, clicked start in ODIN 1 click and got hung up? nothing else happened during the process? Was the cable plugged all the way in?
Not sure how ADB would work if windows isn't recognizing it.. Do you have another PC you can connect to?
Sounds like it pooched while he was trying to Odin 1 Click back to stock and now its probably fubard as his computer won't recognize the device.
Good call on trying a different computer.
Btw - where are you downloading the USB drivers from? There are multiple sources out there and some seem to work better than others.
Thanks for the replies guys
I got them from the wiki page way back when around it was first put up... but I haven't really changed them since they were the only ones that I found worked at the time and pretty well actually, they've recognized my captivate perfectly all the time! Well, until recently. I also have kies mini installed if that means anything. I am gonna try a friend's computer and see what happens. *crosses fingers*

if you haven't already, try the files attached to the Odin 1 click thread (on any pc you can get your hands on )
not sure what options you have until you can get a pc to recognize the device
Yup.. the good news if you can get into Download mode on your phone - its def not bricked.
I use the Odin 1-Click USB drivers posted there and have had no issues on either my work rig Windows XP 32 bit or Windows 7 64-bit.
Epic success! Phone is back to 2.1 stock! Thanks for all the help joegeek and fisherman
So lately i have been having a ridiculous amount of issues on my phone. RAM was constantly used up it kicked me out of programs all the time, battery sucked, itd be laggy and jumpy power button stopped working etc. so last night i decided screw it i was sick of it and i was just going to start fresh so first i just did the system reset or whatever on the phone.
Now heres the problem, after the reset i turn the phone on it boots up and goes to the tutorial, when i either skip the tutorial or finish it i get an error message saying the tutorial isnt working properly and asking to force close. so i close it and then all i get is a black screen with the clock on the top. Not of the buttons on it work and it wont do anything but pull down the menu.
ive tried the odin 1 click master clear but it and my computer wont recognize the phone along with me putting it into download mode and trying to flash to stock. Odin doesnt see it and my computer says the drivers are broken and it wont recognize the device.
I re-installed all the drivers but the same results occur. I did however manage to have my computer see it when i put it in samsung keis mode (can still choose that from the drop down menu when i plug it in) however i dont know if that will help anything.
So any and all help will be greatly welcomed as i now am without a phone and need it very soon. Thanks

If Odin isn't being friendly to your phone, try using Heimdall. You can get all the same things you need from Odin, but it's a different set of drivers and a different program, which might solve your issues.
If you need one, here's a Heimdall One-click to stock Froyo that AdamOutler made. It's really easy to use - just download it, let it install, and click flash.
alright ill try it and see how it goes thanks a lot
no luck. Heimdall doesnt recognize it connected and my computer still says it wont recognize it so im guessing thats the main issue first...

If you haven't already, try turning your phone and computer off. Then reboot the computer and let it settle. Once it's all set up, move your USB cable to a port at the back of the computer (or somewhere else on the computer if it's a laptop).
Once you've done that, start up Heimdall. Once it's up and settled, start up your phone in download mode, then hook up the phone.
both have been restarted a couple times but ill try that again. i grabbed a different usb cable as well. this time it allowed heimdall to recognize the device at first but when i started it said no drivers and it i followed the instructions it said after however the options heimdall said werent available. im confused why it would so no drivers as i just reinstalled them and when i plugged the phone in for heimdall it said drivers installed.
but no at the end of trying a couple times the device is back to unrecognized and heimdall cant see it

Heimdall uses a different set of drivers (libusb) instead of the ones that samsung provides. I would suggest that you go ahead and uninstall the Heimdall drivers as well as the samsung drivers, reboot the computer, and run Heimdall again. Let it finish installing the drivers and be ready, then reboot one more time and try again.
eventually got it working and got it back to stock 2.2 however my 3g isnt working and when i try to run the update on the phone to gingerbread it wont connect to att. i thought maybe i could just flash up to gingerbread but when i put it in download mode and connect it odin still doesnt recognize it and this was after rebooting both

If you were able to get it to work with Heimdall, and you're wanting to go to stock GB, I would suggest using Adam's UCKH3 Heimdall One-click. This will flash stock AT&T Gingerbread (well.. technically that doesn't exist yet, but..) and the i897 Gingerbread bootloaders at the same time.
Just make sure you have all your important stuff backed up to something that isn't your phone before you do it, and that you have a good connection between your computer and phone.
well that one worked so thanks but still no 3g or any data connection

Just to check, make sure your IMEI matches the one on your phone.
To do this (assuming you're on AT&T), go to the dialer and type *#06#.
Write down that number, then open your battery case.
Take out the battery, and look on the sticker with the barcode. Above the first barcode should be your phone's IMEI. Double check to make sure those match.
If not, you may have some issues with the contents of your /efs folder.
nvm i figured it out. had to reset the access points or whatever to default. now onto to re rooting. thanks for all the help. know anything about the power button not working? i thought it mighta just been the software before but its still not working. do fixes exist? because i really hate using AnyLock to use my phone.

hey just wanted to thank you for helpin me out all day. that last heimdall gb helped me about immensely. ive finally been able to install some custom roms and what not successfully. i used to follow every direction super close and nothing ever worked but finally going my way so thanks a bunch ha
ok to start with I am soft bricked cause i got the phone-!-computer on my screen. here is how it got bricked to start with... was updating to android 2.3 gingerbread with kies mini and the first time when finished updating my wifi would not work so i flashed the rom with odin and it was a bad version cause instantly it went to recovery mode. so I went and downloaded odin one click and flashed it back to stock android eclair and went to update to 2.2 froyo with kies mini our power blinked and now im softbricked.
ok here is what ive tried so far... 3 button combo both volumes and power tried all that. ok next i tried one click unbrick it just say failed everytime... tried AIO captivate toolbox and no avail.. went radio shack got 3 resistors 100k made a jig touched pins 4 and 5 and didnt work either.. so my questions are as follows
1. what next????
2. could i have possibly shorted out my usb port on my phone since i accidently slipped and touched a pin i should not have and AIO captivate toolbox says usb debugging isnt on.
3. is there any way to test the micro usb port on the phone to see if its working right?
any and all help would be very much appreciated.
thanks...
You're actually in an ok place. That phone--/!\--computer screen will function like download mode most times. Just try your Odin file again and you should be fine.
odin isnt recognizing it. is there a way i can make it recognize it?
I just went through this and got my phone working so no need to panic. Odin wouldnt see my phone but heimdall does. Search for the kb2 heimdall one click package and see if that helps. Since you flashed back to 2.2 youll need to use kb2. If you are on GB i897 bootloaders youll need the kk4 heimdall one click package

Try different ports, if nothing else. Look in the "Captivate Connection Issues" post in my signature for more items.
Also, you will probably want to stop using the AIO Toolbox. That particular piece of software is a little risky, as it flashes a known dangerous bootloader setup.
I found myself in the same boat. 3-button combo won't work, you have to remove battery and usb cable. Replace battery. Plug usb cable into the motherboard directly(rear), hold volume + and volume - then plug the usb cable into your phone. hold volume buttons until your phone boots into download mode. (assuming you have proper drivers installed)
didnt work
tried both heimdels kk2 and kk4 they both say looking for device. and also tried plugging my usb cord into every usb port on my computer still nothing.
Did your drivers unseat? for some odd reason i had to reinstall the drivers to get mine out of soft brick.
drivers
would that be the drivers for the program or the phone? and also on the kk2 and kk4 they download as jar files just like oneclick unbrick did so do i need to unzip them and move the jar file to where the exe folder is then right click and run as administrator or can i just run the jar file i downloaded?
also the the zadig driver program that comes with heindel programs will not see my phone at all when plugged in any usb port but my wife has a captivate also and when i plugged hers in zadig can see it as samsung usb composite device....

Pull battery, pull cable. With phone off, replace battery. Then press volume up only, and power. When screen loads, plug your USB in. If you get the system files screen, press the menu key. Then try Oden. This is what I had to do to get it to work.
Gingerbread through mini kies sucks. Your better off getting Gingerbread here:

the volume up and power then plug usb didnt work still in brick mode. should i try the usb jig with the phone off or on? when i touch pins 4 and 5 with the jig and the phone off the screen will come on but still computer- ! - phone no download mode
got it
finally got into download mode with the jig and alot of wiggling cussing fussing griping and finally praying lol.... thanks to all of you for your help not many strangers will help people anymore so thanks guys for your time i really appreciate it greatly

Unistall your phone's drivers, restart pc and reinstall them.
Drivers
So i dont know what the drivers are I had a friend set this all up for me. also i think if odin id updated that might work. It was current at the time but when a few months pass its time to update!

so i just updated odin and i still got nothing. so what are the drivers? ill try that.
if you dont even know what drivers are in windows, and have other people set things up for you, you should not be flashing your phone in the first place.
any time you buy a device and hook it up to windows you install??? drivers.
Google: "drivers"... a piece of software that tells an operating system how to use a device.
but it is doubtful reinstalling your drivers will help
what version of odin are you using? what are you trying to flash now? what were you flashing when it messed up?
im sorry but this may end up being an expensive lesson not to do things you dont understand. you may have to send your phone away to be jtagged or unbricked.
I still have the phone...!...computer screen so i should be able to flash it back to stock. and even though i didn't add the drivers I know what im doing so don't assume Im a noob at this. and for your information I own 6 Samsung captivates and I work for Mobile Tech Videos so I flash these phone a lot I flash at least twice a day. so Jtaging it will be rather inexpensive but I would like to figure this out so I don't have to spend my time shipping this phone out. I notice that a lot of people have the same trouble as I am having so if I figure out how to solve the worst soft brick (witch I now have) it will be great for A post that covers everything with this screen. I got my phone this way by the USB port falling out during flashing so I'm lucky to even have this screen. I was at gingerbread 2.3.5 stock flashing to ice cream sandwich. I tryed using the USB jig but it failed so all I need to know is what the driver names are so i can try what was recommended. I also think ADB might help solve the problem some how some way. I just got the most recent Odin I was using 1.3 now im using 1.85
Not to be mean or start something, but if you work for mobile tech videos and you don't know what drivers are or you say you flash phones multiple times a day, then you should have a GREAT idea of what to do to fix this problem. Did you flash an ICS ROM and it bootlooped on the first flash, well that is supposed to happen. And Since you were on 2.3.5 then there is no DL mode combo problem. I don't know what to tell you. use your resources and Google it, or better yet let me Google that for you...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA
Hello everybody!
I've tried to find a solution, but without success.
Today I tried to install CWM on a french Galaxy S.
I've rooted the phone with z4root and after I started on download mod with adb.
Then with Odin3 I installed this file "Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v2.7-CWM3RFS.tar".
After that the phone rebooted automatically, unfortunately it's rebooting eachtime on the galaxy s logo.
The problem are that I can't boot on download mod or on CWM.
When the phone is off and I plug it on charger, it doesn't charge!
I think my phone is bricked.
Do you think you can help me or it's dead?
Is there a hard reboot procedure or something like that?
Thanks
I have exactly the same problem!
Are you sure you can't enter recovery? Volume up+home+power.

did u try vol down + home + power button to go to download mode? if it can do that, the problem is just find some driver to make odin recognize your phone. search for "usb driver for samsung galaxy s" in google
then you can bring back your phone to live by downloading any rom you want and flash it via odin
ps. but if you cannot go to download mode, JIG USB with 301 K ohm will help you look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0
Same problem here, I actually didn't see this in my search and made a new thread about it (feel free to delete). My computer had KIES on it so it had the drivers already and it's the same computer I went through the download mode before with so I have the drivers. I tried to reinstall them but still nothing.
I fear I may need to buy out my contract :crying:

I am sure that I am right with this. "If you root, do not use KIES" so you have to uninstall KIES and download separate USB driver.
Then it should see your phone when connect with ODIN

Sorry, I should have been more specific. When I reinstalled the drivers I had actually uninstalled KIES and installed just the drivers.
I do have an update though but still can't get it to boot completely. Late last night I decided to try to get download mode to work one last time before passing out and pressing Vol-, Home and Power actually brought me to the recovery screen for the first time in my phone's life! "F YA!" was the only thing I could think at the time so I first went through and formatted/wiped every option I could find then installed the CM9 that I knew worked and now I get to the alien with the matrix-esque background and it stops there. I plugged it in and left it on that screen all night and that guy was still staring at me this morning. I tried download mode again but my computer still doesn't recognize it.

I dont know if this is the right place but I am desprate I have looked and looked for possible answers nothing worked....
Finally got it into download mode but computer did not detect unplugged phone now its stuck in cell ! computer icon and phone
turns on automatically when battery is inserted
The phone ! Computer screen is download mode. This has happened because the last time you tried to use Odin the cable was pulled to soon. Open the Odin one click your trying to use while the phone is on that screen, and plug in the USB. If Odin does not recognize it you can look here for connection issues.

Heimdall and Odin won't work on same USB port. Have you tried using a different one?
Kinda a shot in the dark but if you haven't tried it yet, put the jig in before the battery. Or try the jig a couple times (wait like 20-30sec in between) with the battery in, that worked for me before.
Odin help
Hey Guys... I am trying to see if anyone can help me figure out the problem with my phone.. i currently have the stock rom running 2.2 i897uckb2
Kernel - 2.6.32.9 - Froyo build
Now I have trying to get Odin to recognize my phone when I am in download mode but it noes not show up in the port field. I have been trying both odin 1.3 as well as Odin 1 click...
The funny thing is that Heimdall can recognize the phone on one click but i am trying to get odin to recognize so that i can switch roms... I preffer Odin to Heimdall so if anybody has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.
By the way if i am not in download mode and the phone is on and I connect it and have odin on, it actually recognizes the phone... so not sure...
Thanks for any help guys...

Have you tried another USB port? My experience with heidmall is that when you install it's own driver, Odin no longer recognizes the phone when you boot into download mode. If for some reason it still doesn't work, I suppose you could uninstall your captivate drivers and re install them.
Ok... cuz really i did feel that it was because of the one click heimdall that the driver might not be recognized... Mind pointing me to how to un install and then re install the driver on the phone...?
Thanks again for the quick response.

Heimdall installs it's own drivers to the USB port you use it on. You will have to use another USB port if you wanna use Odin (Your pc should have more than one).
You could uninstall the drivers but it is far more complicated than just using a different USB port.
location GPS antenna on i897. Well, then disassemble the phone and the antenna to be under the speaker if the speaker remove the antenna located in the top right corner of the board. Who can come up with how to enhance signal reception, write.
