[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thinkpolitics:
Thanks for the hlp bobbylx and TRusselo

Thanks bobbylx and TRusselo.....wanted folks to know that these bros. helped without hesitation and didn't give me a lot of BS when I had this emergency! I didn't get it fixed yet but they lent a hand and gave me some incentive and FYI..has a noob that means a lot to me! Thanks guys!!!! Smitty!!:D:laugh::victory: almost!!!

Smitty,

I no longer have the captivate so I'm not current on everything that's going on. If you can get into download mode I would find one of the stock roms that can be flashed via Odin and start over.

You'll have better luck post this in the QA section for captivate. Good luck,

Bobby

I was running Panranoid 2 which was running fine and cym 10..attempted to switch to Lanight 6.55 datadata and that installed well too..decided I liked the other better and had a backup and went to restore seemed all to work well..but I didn't go and wipe everyhting before I went to restore..perhaps that is why I am having this problem. If you can tell me what to know that I have the download mode up would greatly appreciate it..thanks! Smitty

DEVICE: ATT HTC One X

ROM: Who knows?

Samsung captivate SGH I897

Android Ver. 4.11

Baseband 19000XXJVU

Kernal: 3.0-.31-01749-gf84bc96

Cyanogen Mod: 10.0.0-RCO-capitvatemid

Paranoid Ver. 2.16

Build# pa-capativate-userdebug 4.1.1 JR003R eng.

Then I attempted successively to try Lanight 6.55 datadata and that went well too. I didn't like it and I thought I would go back to what I first had. I just went to restore and I didn't wipe anything clean from the Lanight and devil kernel that was apart of that installation. When I rebooted the phone has been stuck at the AT&T Logo and that's all I have. I can able to get to the icon with the lime green android digging a whole..however mate I have no clue what to do next because all of what I read says I need to get a file onto the phone ( the file from the forum you suggested) in the first or second state. I hate to bother you mate but I have know clue as what to do know. This is the first time I have even done this to a phone and felt pretty confident..but stuck now mate. Any help would be greatly appreciated..thank you Smitty. I need that phone just for my kids in order to get them..thank you and I would appreciate you getting back to me as soon as you can ..Smitty!

Boot into recovery, go to mounts and storage, then select usb storage, plug in phone, copy files. If that option isn't there, Odin flash back to stock.

Thanks again for the quick reply..Smitty
