Try holding volume up + volume down and then plug in the USB cord that is plugged into your PC. This should take you to download mode. If this doesn't help you will have to purchase a jig

I have recovered from a soft brick using a jig, I know these shortcuts very well but none is working even to come into a download mode i always need a Jig it was all good when i installed cm 10.0 the second day i bought this phone but now after the attempt to restore into stock ROM was a mess, then thanks to u my phone got a life again, but now even the CornKernel_UCKK4_v705 isn,t working on my phone,
Any IDEAS???

The KK4 Corn Kernel will only boot up and run if u r on KK4 firmware or a Rom of that base...or previous stock firmware/roms.

Continuum v5.1, v5.2 got big trouble

Hi Experts,
I have a Cappy and i love Continuum 5 ROM. I never miss any versions from beta2 to RC 3, everything is ok, but now when contimuum v5.1 was released. I tried to flash it but i got a big problem in that version. The first, i encountered Boot Loop issue while booting, but it's not the biggest problem, my cappy is still boot up to the home screen, and here everything was became very bad. My Cappy got lag and cant interact with return and it reboot automatic after that.
Now, when v5.1 was released, i believed it'll be fixed, but it's still exists. .
my cappy cant boot up to home screen. it repeats booting to continuum animation and restart forever.
can anybody give me a suggestion for turning my cappy back !!!!!!!! Please help
Did you have full battery? I made this mistake too... Be sure that you did everything correctly..
Sent from my captivate using XDA App
I would suspect you could simply use the 1-CLICK ODIN program to restore the phone then follow the steps carefully for 5.1 (which is a pretty awesome ROM btw)
I'm sure i charged full battery before flashing.

i flashed to stock room with odin3 1.7 (using PDA + PIT files. i did that successful many times with 2.2 ). but now, with 2.3.3 i got brick( maybe lost boot), although flashed by odin without any errors ( 1 succeed/ failed 0) .
now i cant make the cappy go to download mode. please helppppp.
3 buttons with no interaction !!
sounds like u flashed a stock rom that didnt have old bootloader, safe way to have done it is with non 3 button fix odinoneclick flash to stock. dunno if a JIG will help u get back into download mode

Get a jig and use it to get into DL mode. Please make 100% sure you know what you are doing before you flash.

Your best bet is the jig. If that doesnt work then I would try and get a warrenty replacment. I went over the thread and it stated that if you get a bootloop you should boot into recovery and reflash the rom, did you do that?

If you lost bootloader then you will have to JTAG, if your under warranty you can say you were updating to froyo and it turned off and never turned back on

right. i got a bootloop when flash to v5.2. i tried to flash the rom in recovery mode many times, but it's still exists. even i flash back to RC3. i got only the android text animation on the screen.
thus i have to flash to the stock by that way. and now i got a brick
I've had problems in the past with getting to download mode on the cappy. I did some googling trying to find a way, ended up finding a very good page on it:
http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode
I hope that helps.
Had the same problem with my cappy. The problem is that after all you did, you have one bootloader from i9000 and another from i897. The jig won`t help. I`ve found the people that recovered the phone with JTAG.

Which BootLoader

How can I know which bootloader I have. I'm on the latest CM7 nightly, but I have no idea if I have AT&T froyo, GB, i9000 or whatever...
Is there any way I can know which one I have?
Have you ever flashed bootloaders or KF1 or an I9000 rom? If not then you are on eclair/froyo boot loaders.
Well when you boot up the phone do you have the ATT screen? That would narrow it down to either the froyo/eclair bootloaders or the i897 gingerbread bootloaders. If you have a i9000 bootscreen then you probably have the i9000 gingerbread bootloaders.
Second the froyo/eclair and i897 gingerbread bootloaders use the Volume+/Volume- plus Power to get into recovery screen. And Volume+/Volume- plus plugging in USB cable while connected to comouter to get into DOWNLOAD mode.
The i9000 bootloaders you would use Volume+ button and Power for recovery and Volume- and Power button for download mode.
SO after these hints you would need to KNOW if you EVER flashed i9000 or i897 gingerbread bootloaders ever. I would THINK you would know as it is a different method kind of when flashing the bootloaders.
There is no other way to confirm one way or another really easily, other than either of the gingerbread bootloaders will let you flash froyo roms, i897 gingerbread roms, and i9000 gingerbread roms. Which you would not be able to do if you were on the stock froyo/eclair bootloaders.

Well I bought the phone from ebay, and it had CM7 already, all I have been doing is just updating the nightlies, but I have no idea which bootloader it has.
When I boot it up, an AT&T screen shows up, then a screen which says "Galaxy S Cyanogen(mod)" and then the cm7 animated boot.
Because I bought it from eBay, I have no idea which bootloader it has.
Id recommend flashing to stock (if you are changing roms) flashing ATT's gingerbread bootloaders and then flash w/e you want. Thats what i would do.

When ever you flash Bootloaders there is a risk for hard bricking...
HELP!
I successfully did the Odin 1-click to STOCK eclair, and it booted to eclair.
Then I tried to install the GB bootloaders from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129821
But when I clicked start, it said FAIL at boot.bin and I thought I had hard-bricked it (OMG) but I ran the odin 1 click to stock and it revived.
So why did that error happened, what should I do then to install the GB bootloaders?

The step I'm having problem with is this:
-Restart the phone in Download Mode
-Run OneClickI897UCKF1-bootloaders.exe - with administrator permissions if on Windows 7 or Vista!
-Connect the USB cable to the PC and the phone
How do I put the phone in download mode without connecting the USB?

Nonono, I mean that I actually got into Download Mode with the method you said, and then I flashed the bootloader with Odin, but after that, the phone booted into recovery mode, I clicked on "Reboot system" and I'm again on the stock eclair. I should have the gingerbread bootloader now right?
Should I now install the stock KH3 (no bootloader), or how can I check that the GB bootloaders installed correctly?
If I flash the stock KH3 ROM (2.3.4 leaked version without bootloaders) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233620) and the GB bootloaders didnt actually install correctly, would it brick?

[Q] SGH-I897 soft bricked?

hey guys, i believe i acquired a soft bricked galaxy s last night. from what the girl told me, it had been rooted, custom rom installed, and im guessing a kernel aswell.it gets past the "world phone" screen then gets stuck at the glowing android coming out of the ground. Im assuming its a kernel problem. ive tried alot of methods on here, searched alot of the forums on these phones being soft bricked. tried the vol+,home, power; vol-,home, power; both volumes, power; also tried with connecting usb and odin open; both volumes, connect usb, input batt; vol-, connect usb, input batt; ectect. i just cant get past that boot logo. I have the drivers from samsung installed but when connecting to the computer it registers that something connected but doesnt identify the phone. so is there anything i am missing guys? i read about the jig and i am guessing thats where im gonna have to go with this. no problem there; just seeing if anyone has any other ideas. thanks in advance guys!

A jig will force download mode but is only needed is vol down + power button doesn't get you in it.
Do you know if she was on gb and up? That would change your button combo to get in recovery to vol up + down + power button.
If you can get in recovery that way, you have 2 options: 1- clear cache and dalvik (in advanced) and try rebooting. 2- reflash the custom ROM she was running (without deleting anything).
If recovery doesn't work, get in download mode and flash Odin KK4 without bootloaders (in dev section). From there, you'll need to flash Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 and you'll be able to get in recovery to flash the ROM and Gapps she was running. *Doing this will wipe her apps and apps data*

yea, whatever happens to the phone doesnt matter, its mine now, was just given to me. sadly idk what rom she was running, her sd card is MIA, and idk what OS she was running on. i highly doubt she would even know. so at this point after trying all the button combos, think a jig is the only option?
What happens if u pull the battery, replace it, leave phone off, phone must be off, connect usb end of cable to ur pc, hold both volume up and down together and then insert micro usb into phone ??
Download mode yes or no ?
If no see my sig below (if ur on a pc or in a web browser)...there are links there on how to make a Jig and/or where to buy a Jig.

Same story man. Probably gonna be jig is what it is looking like. Any ideas what cause this to happen? Ex. Not being able to enter recovery/download by using proper button combos?
Just a known issue on some Capivates. But the flash up to GB firmware is the fix for the button combos failin to work. Once u have the GB BLs ur button combos should work.
So once u get a jig, Odin or Heimdall up to KK4 with Bootloaders (heed all warnings about flashin BLs). Then u can Odin KK4 Corn Kernel and proceed where u wish.

Thanks for responding. I'll probably tear into it tomorrow. Have a link to kk4 w/boot have thee corn kernel saved
Here is Stock KK4....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18370912

Beauty! So that should wake it up. And from there I can reboot, find out what is it has then flash a new ROM after making sure recovery works and whatnot?
After the Stock kk4 flash it will have....Stock i897ucKK4 Gingerbread 2.3.5 Firmware.
So afterwards u will need to use Odin to flash the .tar file version of the KK4 Corn Kernel in order to get cwm recovery and go from there in the flashin of dev roms if u want.

Little precision: Odin one click is what you'll be using to flash KK4 (stock gb firmware). Odin 1.85 is what you'll need to flash Corn kernel (.tar is PDA slot).
Sounds great. Should be able to get it done today
well i built a jig using the three resistors from radioshack and a micro usb cable i found laying around. doesnt appear to be working...
ok, so i needed an actual samsung cord......plugged it into my computer and it started charging
ok, got it! now searching for correct drivers. apparently i had the wrong ones

[HELP] Can't unbrick my i9001

Hi everybody !
Yesterday, I swapped the sd cards of my gs+ but the phone didn't boot and stayed at the boot animation (CM10.1). So, I tried to restock it but Odin stayed at the AMSS download. I tried to install many other stock ROM but it was stuck at this thread. Today, I retry to flash CWM recovery and stock ROM but now it block at setup connection. I don't know why because I put the ariesve.ops file in the good section.
I have already bricked my phone many times but the restock worked fine.
What can I do ? Please help me I love my I9001 ! :crying:
Thanks a lot for your answers !

The best solutions is to go to a Samsung Service. I had bricked my phone to and i paid 100 $ and they changed my motherboard. Or go to a professional service.

I like my S+ but I don't want to pay 100$ for a thing I think I can do by myself ^^
Have you tried with worked2.rar??

The problem you had was caused by ODIN. I've had it to. You have to use a specific version of ODIN and that version is the one you finde in the recovery package you've just used. So beware in the future!

I tried with 3 versions of Odin but now I'm glad it is working fine
From now on you can use this http://easyandroidsolutions.blogspot.ro/2012/10/recover-samsung-galaxy-s-plus-i9001.html
It is very important to use correct version of ODIN, happened to me too with my first flashing

If you successfully flashed cwm via odin. switch off the phone. take out the battery and insert it back.
Connect your data cable to your phone(not to pc). Then press and hold volume up button and switch on the phone. When the samsung logo appears leave the button. When Samsung galaxy s plus logo appears, just tap the menu button(left touch button). You will get in to the CWM recovery. Then wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache (in advanced menu). Then flash a new rom.

[Q] HELP!! Captivate Stuck on AT&T Boot Screen After ClockWorkMod Install

[Solved!]
Hey everyone!
I followed the Cyanogenmod guide from cm's website on how to install cm 10 on rooted att captivate from android 2.2 froyo.
I followed the guide exactly up to installing cwm recovery via heimdall on a windows 7 (heimdall wouldn't work on an xp I have so I switched to my 7) and everything worked as it said it would, however after finishing and getting the blue bar on the download mode screen, I held the vol up/down and pwr keys per the guide and the phone went to the att logo screen that it shows when you first turn it on and it just flashes that screen.
I can get into download mode still but it won't go into the options screen to hard reset or use cwm recovery.
I rooted it using the superoneclick method and I backedup with titanium.
I haven't been able to find anyone on xda or any other site with the same problem as me (everyone with a similar problem had a different version of android or something so I was afraid to try the solutions given for them.)
Please Help!! Thank you so much in advance!!

Thanks, I tried getting into recovery mode using the guide on that thread but no luck. I haven't gotten to try the first guide suggested yet so when I have time I'll try that. Thankfully I can get into download mode fine.

Here is the last Stock Firmware released, i897ucKK4 Gingerbread 2.3.5, if ya wanna flash it instead.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3 ...Since ya can get in Download mode.
Flashin to KK4 with the Bootloaders included (if u don't already have them) has solved the button combo problems for others who were not able to get into recovery, etc.
Heed all warnings about flashin bootloaders. It only takes a few seconds to flash the boot.bin and sbl.bin, but ya don't wanna interupt the flash durin that process, i.e. loose power, accidently disconnect micro usb/usb cable, etc.
Once ya have the gb boots, there is no need to flash bootloaders again.

How long should/could it take Odin to detect/recognize my captivate? I couldn't wait to try the KK4 flash, but I've waited for about 10 minutes and it's not showing anything in Odin.:\
It should only take a few seconds.
See that Captivate - PC Connection Issues...thread i linked u to in my reply a few posts up.

Well I've been up all night lol but I got everything to work!! I guess it all just clicked with me and I understood and found all the answers in threads. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Your link and Odin one click worked perfect. I think I had a problem with the drivers, that's why it wouldn't detect it. I read in another thread it could be that and I tried reinstalling the Samsung drivers but no luck. So I just switched to my windows xp where I'd never used heimdall drivers(I was on my windows 7) and did it on there, worked perfectly! I then went on to reinstall cwm and then cm 10.1.2 and I love it! Now I'm waiting for the Google play store .zip to download so I can flash it onto my i897! THANKS AGAIN!!! :thumbup:
