Phone : Samsung Captivate
Carrier : AT&T (Gophone)
Okay guys so my first problem was i was bootlooping the att screen and couldnt get into download mode or recovery mode so i went to radio shack and got 3 100k ohm resistors 1/4 and then used it and got it into recovery mode i used odin one click and it said file analysis for like 30 mins so i turned off the phone and restarted odin but now for some reason i cant get it into download mode again, so i tried turning it on thinking it might be fixed well it immdeiatly went to the phone-----!----computer icon and the usb dosent make any sound on my computer when being plugged in :/ i check to see if maybe the usb was bad by plugging it into my wall charger charged fine, tried a new usb cable and new usb ports still nothing and what i mean is when u plug a usb into a windows 7 computer it makes the notification noise it dosent make that or even show up on device manager im hoping the jig didnt short anything out :/
On the galaxy s 4g you can use Odin once on that screen
This is what's happening right
Oh btw u should put this in captivate q&a section
For better results

What I would do is go to a att store and say I have been ignoring a software update for a while
But I decided to bite the bullet and update recently
While updating I dropped my phone and the battery came out
When I turned on my phone this screen showed up

Same problem.
I used Odin3 v1.81 and it seemed to do it's thing as expected. But when it rebooted, it never turned back on. Now I can't get it to do anything. Can't get to download mode to try again.
Freaking out a little.
Try odin 1.7

Same problem, I'm afraid. Can't get to download mode to use 1.7. Can't speak for iynfynity, but I'm starting to wonder if the hardware isn't just dead. This is for my wife's new handset. The radio stopped working and she just got this one today (refurbished, I believe).
Did u try all pulling the battery plug usb hold volume rocker up n down plug the battery while still holdin the rocker?

I did. Still no indication of life of any kind. I was hoping there was some other method of reviving it but I think it is truly bricked.
Eshwonok. So what happen to your phone from the beggining?

Try making a jig
as he described, phone wont power up -> hard bricked. JIG wont help
Call Samsung (not Tmobile) and send it in for FREE repair even if you got ur phone from Craiglist (my phone is from Craiglist, no receipt, no box)
The phone is being replaced as defective. I just hope the fact that it's been rooted doesn't become a hindrance. Thanks to all for the suggestions.
Hopefully they don't pull a logcat and charge you lol

You need odin to flash to stock.
I am certainly no expert, but I believe this is the only way. Sorry bro.

I'm gonna state this flat and outright.
Go get your cheap @$$ to radioshack and buy a usb cable! It only costs like 5 bucks man.
You *NEED*, i'm gonna repeat *NEED* to have a USB cable to ODIN back to stock. If you send your phone in the way it is, you are screwed.
Short of that, take a hammer to it, but I don't see how you would get it covered under any kind of warranty if you did that.
That's how my vibrant was also. Just get a new USB cord. It works trust me.

Hey, so when I try to connect my GS2 to the computer (via USB), it doesn't connect for some reason. After connecting it, it takes about 5 secs and it starts to charge but doesn't connect to the computer. I've tried a couple of different ROMs and also on 2 other computers and its the same result. I need help please. Thanks
First make sure drivers are installed if so then try another cable that could be the problem.

You are missing the drivers. Search via Google for the hardware ID or simply by the model of the phone.

I have had the drivers installed, and I tried my brother's HTC usb cable and it still doesn't work.
My thread is right above yours. There are USB port issues with this phone. Although I feel for you, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. If you have insurance take it back cuz it only gets worse. Flash stock while you still can, if you're not already running it. Trust me.

Same problem here and replacement is on the way, phone randomly thinks its charging, car mode turning on and such buy it is nice to know also that I am not the only one
Hi everybody.
I was playing with my i777 and flashed a gallery file (just 1 apk) via CWM. It booted fine but crashed when using the camera and then rebooted. After reboot, it turned off and now I cannot turn it on again.
I tried download mode by removing battery, holding the two volume buttons and connecting to USB. That did nothing. I also tried USB jig which also did nothing. Connecting the phone to AC power source to see if at least the battery charging screen will show up also does nothing.
So the screen remains black with the soft buttons not lighting up. My phone is hard bricked from the looks of it. So my question is will sending this to MobileTechVideos for JTAG have a highly likelihood for unbricking or should I save the $50 and USPS charges and just buy a Nexus 4? I mean if they don't fix it, I will need a new phone anyway, heck I don't even have a spare phone.
Previous ROM was CM 10.1 03062013 nightly.
I don't even understand how that could have resulted in a brick...

I don't either but like I mentioned above. It rebooted ok after CWM flash then hung then android rebooted. It crashed then won't respond to jig, USB, power cable.
I failed to mention that I am afraid that this is an EMMC failure and that they might not be able to fix it and I would be wasting $50.
You say you tried Download mode, but made no mention of RECOVERY. If you can get there you're not bricked.

Nothing works. Not even the charging screen shows up when you plug it in. No button combo is working.
Phone is not detected by ADB

2) Try using USB jig again

Yeah I got it from XDA, it was supposed to be something to enable PicasaSync.
I already sent it to MTV so I think we can close this thread.
Thanks all.

It is hard to autocorrect sometimes
I was trying to do an odin factory restore, everything looked as if it went ok. Green pass and all but no reboot on the phone. Im getting NOT a single thing from the device (no led, no screen, no downloading menu) but when plugged into the PC it recognizes something being connected and sounds off but odin won't find it either. These are the directions I followed http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=237
after flashing I noticed up on the title it says SPH-I545 but it says for verizon. Any help would be appreciated. The battery should be about 60%.
Also possible first hard brick (sch-i545)

I'm not exactly sure what happened to my s4. I had it rooted with the latest firmware and it was fine for days. Then I rebooted and identical symptoms described above. Please tell me....or rather us there is a way around this. Please PM me if need be. Thanks in advance.

Yes, I have been trying everything for hours now. I know this is only my second post, but Ive been doing this since the beginning. I have always received the help I needed via these forums, but clearly something has happened and I've soft bricked on many a droid phone and always found my way to a solution, but no lights, no vibration, yet when plugged into a computer, just as the first post mentions....it can tell a device was plugged in, but driver installation fails. I'm almost certain I hard bricked it and I'm very upset. I have an insurance policy that covers absolutely anything with a brand new device, but I have never filed a claim and can't afford to wait. I really messed up this time.....

Same here! Never had any issues like this before, odd it happened to us both at the same time. Was your phone purchased used or new?

Brand new several months old from Verizon Dealer. I never had a problem, worked like a charm always. Do you think there is a trick to get these bad boys operational again? All we need is for them to turn on and we can do the rest. I am so ticked off right now...

I hope so. Tomorrow I'm going to delete the drivers and see what happens. I read somewhere to disconnect from PC pull out battery, hold both volume buttons down insert battery then plug it into the PC while still holding the two buttons. That didn't work for me though

If you can not get into odinmode (download mode) or recovery, sounds like you are hard bricked and out of luck.
If you CAN get into odin mode, are you on Mdk or me7? Can use this method then. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
Only other suggestion is to get the "kies" software and do an emergency update from there if it can recognize the device correctly.
From past experience when i bricked a previous smartphone, the end result was my computer would beep and recognize something was connecting, but never add it to devices would contiously beep on and off if i unplugged and plugged back in, and phone would not boot into any mode.
Damn. Thanks for the info.

States right at the bottom no jig will fix a hard bricked phone which is what it sounds like he has unfortunately. Pretty sure the only way to fix a hard bricked phone is jtag.

True but is it really a hard brick if the computer knows it is plugged in?

Yes and no haha. sometimes your pc will still make noise when you plug it in. Op google heimdall and give that a shot thats about the only thing I can think of. Never had to resort to it so cant confirm whether it works or not but its not like you have anything to lose at this point.

I don't think heimdall will work because I can't access download mode. To eBay she goes.
Sent from the Matrix
Like i said i havent used it personally only read about it but from what i read you dont have to be in download mode for heimdall. You can use it to flash the original bootloader and if it takes I think youll be able to then go into download mode and revive your phone.
