Method 3, batt sim and sd removed. Plug batt in leave phone off. Turn on odin. With odin running Hold vol up and down, while holding plug in usb. Phone should turn on in dl mode.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
I answered this in your other post in the Q and A section.
[Captivate Android Development] slade10401:
Yes, you did and thanks for your help. :) I have been doing some reading but haven't found the work around yet.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
You still haven't been able to use Odin?
[Captivate Android Development] slade10401:
This works on my phone but not the phone that I am having issues with. the battery is charging screen comes up and that is all that I get.

Thanks,
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Did you try the method a few posts up, pulling SIM card, etc. this should work. You have to get the timing of the volume buttons and the plugging of the usb cable right. It should work, especially if Odin recognizes the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] slade10401:
Yep, I have tried it, but still doesn't want to work. Odin recognizes the phone at boot but can't seem to do anything.
[Captivate Android Development] waiting4gingerbread:
My computer(s) are able to recognize my phone when booting normally but cannot find the right drivers when in download mode. Any tips? I want to restore stock to get COGNITION :D
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
Stuck on File Analysis

Its been stuck like this for a while... the phone screen says Installing Multi-CSC.

how long does this take?
[Captivate Android Development] sevenvt:
Shouldn't "boot"

I am guessing something is wrong in the steps you are taking. There is no boot step in download modes, its off or its download, no between. If you have a working phone verify you can do the recommended dl trick, same steps
[Captivate Android Development] sevenvt:
If you don't see progress. Restart. Whole thing takes

5min every time I have done it
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
You're not in download mode, you're in the recovery menu which has nothing to do with odin. The download menu will have a huge yellow triangle acroos the whole screen and will say download at the bottom.
[Captivate Android Development] one_cam_vtec:
I just wanted to say thank you. Not sure if this is the place for that but THANK YOU this Odin3 one click downloader is the ish. If in wrong spot please move..
[Captivate Android Development] cchant:
I've some how managed to "brick" my phone as well with the phone--!--computer sceen. I've tried all the methods on the first post, plus some other methods I've found on this board to try to get it into recovery mode but to no avail. Is there a timing trick to it or am I out of luck? I got this phone through wirefly so I'm not sure how they are going to react to an exchange for a new captivate
[Captivate Android Development] foofiebeast:
Hi all, I played around with my phone a little bit when I first got it and I'm pretty sure I never installed an alternate rom, in fact nearly 100% there weren't even any out yet.

However I did have to do some tricky things to get it rooted. I then installed titanium backup, and deleted some of the ATT crapware. Should I return my phone to stock before flashing a new rom? Or what about the official 2.2 update? Do you think there will be a problem with my phone updating to it, if I have removed some apps?

Is there any way to tell what ROM you are running? If I am still running the stock ROM, just having removed a few things, it shouldn't matter right?
[Captivate Android Development] fox945:
Sometimes you don't have to flash to stock before flashing a new ROM but as a rule of thumb it is always better to start from a fresh ROM so it never hurts to to do so. Also i'm not sure about the official 2.2 update but I would assume if your not running stock JF6 then it will probably fail which then would require you to flash back to stock anyway to apply it.
[Captivate Android Development] TheShadowMan:
I can understand using this to recover from a brick but it seems like half the time the brick is BECAUSE of Odin. Why are we using this less than optimal software when we can flash perfectly well through Clockwork?? Seems pretty stupid actually. Just my 2¢.
[Captivate Android Development] foofiebeast:
Are you saying that by removing the apps that I did, it is no longer stock? Just trying to figure it out :)
[Captivate Android Development] foofiebeast:
Can anyone explain this? I am very curious now too.
[Captivate Android Development] fox945:
No, I would think it would be more along the line of using a different firmware or custom ROM like Eugene's Frankin-Twiz. As long as you are still using JF6 I don't see any problems unless you've flashed a different kernel to it like the Voodoo Kernel. So I don't see any problems with you using JF6 being rooted and have removed some bloat. You'll most likely will have to remove the bloat again and re-root.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Or wait until 20 versions of it are here, the next day, with all sorts of goodness! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] pl_g35:
I can't get the phone into download mode. I tried the vol down + power but my phone only goes into system recovery mode? What should i do?

EDIT:nevermind got it to work :)))
[Captivate Android Development] evil5826:
nm I see it in the bible.
[Captivate Android Development] vinunleaded182:
is there any plan to update this one click package to the new official rom?
[Captivate Android Development] nephets0:
okay just tried to revert to stock. i got to the download screen with odin open and all i get is a blank odin. see attached picture.

any help would be appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] SeriousBizznass:
Make sure you have the drivers installed. I had to install them, then REINSTALL them again to get it to work the first time. I was getting the same errors.
[Captivate Android Development] SeriousBizznass:
My biggest issue is when I reflashed with Odin I didn't have the clock application, which is HIGHLY annoying.
[Captivate Android Development] jeromekobriger:
I know this has been posted before in this thread, but I just wanted to share the (only) method that worked for me. Before beginning, make sure you have the appropriate Samsung usb drivers installed.

Do NOT push the power button at any point in this process.

1. Pull the battery, sd card, and sim card out.

2. Reinsert only the battery.

3. Start up Odin3

4. Hold the volume up and volume down buttons at the same time.

5. Still holding the buttons, plug in the usb cable.

At this point, Odin3 recognized the phone, and I was able to reflash it. Let it complete the flash, reboot, and wait for about five minutes. Insert the sim card and sd card, reboot one more time, and you should be set.
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
For the love of god don't use Odin 3 if you want OTA updates. If you've already used it before, continue on because you're already screwed...
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
will this undo the voodoo4 lag fix changes as well? I believe the voodoo lag fix changes the file system to EXT4.
[Captivate Android Development] jschiefer:
i just did this to my phone. i had the voodoo lag fix on. i first did a master clear then i did complete restore. worked great.

i think it did remove my voodoo lag fix because if i go to phone storage information i have:

internal SD:13.03GB

external SD: 7.39GB - (8gb micro card)

internal phone: 1.73GB
[Captivate Android Development] jschiefer:
so this returns this phone back to the stock rom, how do i go back to the stock kernel? i think that is what is stopping me from downloading the new update today
[Captivate Android Development] jeromekobriger:
Gtg465x, you are absolutely correct. I'm seeing a lot of people fail on OTA after using Odin. But, it still beats a useless bricked phone. (I myself can't get the update after using Odin)
[Captivate Android Development] adasdes:
I was just running odin3 to bring my phone back to stock when I got a message that said failed and the phone itself was just sitting with the blue progress bar almost finished but not doing anything. I pulled the battery to restart it so I could try again but now it isn't responding to anything.

Nothing comes on the screen when I hit the power button. I've tried taking out the battery for a while and trying again but nothing. Is this recoverable or did the phone completely brick?
[Captivate Android Development] msm903:
Pull the battery, disconnect the phone from the usb cable.

Hold down the volup and volume down then plug in the usb cable

at that point plug in the Battery. it should go into dload mode.
[Captivate Android Development] Darkomen64:
This REALLY shuold be posted in the 1st post... i used odin to get back to stock from root/lagfix and now i cant update =P
[Captivate Android Development] adasdes:
I tried this a few times and nothing the phone wasn't responding at all. I kept messing with it and a screen I had never seen before came up, looks like this:

RST_STAT = 0x1

PMIC_IRQ1 = 0x0

PMIC_IRQ2 = 0x0

PMIC_IRQ3 = 0x0

PMIC_IRQ4 = 0x0

PMIC_STATUS1 = 0x00

PMIC_STATUS2 = 0x0

It's all in a red font, what's it doing?

Edit: I can consistently get this screen by hold vol up and pressing power...
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:
I tried using Odin 3 one-click to get back to factory stock. I followed the instructions on the OP and Odin started, but it just froze. The little blue bar started but it only got to about an 1/8" long and it just stopped. I let it stay there for hours, and nothing. This sucks!!

Odin says:

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

<ID:0/005> File analysis..

<ID:0/005> Set PIT File..

<ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

Thats it, its just stuck there. On the phone the Download screen is there with the big yellow triangle and it says Downloading... and the blue bar is real small on the left hand side of the screen.

Ok, after hours of waiting I disconnected the phone from Odin. It was completely dead, it wouldnt do anything at all. I took the battery and sim card out, put battery back in, still nothing. So I restarted Odin, used the button method to get the phone back into download mode (remove battery and sim, reinsert battery, hold vol up n vol down while inserting USB), it finally came on in download mode and Odin recognized it right away. So I hit start again. Still the blue bar goes up a very little then nothing.

Any ideas on what I can do? Its dead other than getting it into download mode connecting it to a computer.
[Captivate Android Development] BANKROLL090:
How can I check if I have the stock ROM or not?
[Captivate Android Development] jschiefer:
Oh no!

The only thing i can think of would be to pull the battery for a minute or two and make sure that memory actually clears. Then restart the computer too, just in case that is acting weird for some reason. Try your method again.

Good luck!
[Captivate Android Development] sevenvt:
Sim and sd should remain removed for the process too
[Captivate Android Development] deejaylamb0:
You are an amazing individual, changed my life! haha =0

gah! I think I had a nerdgasm... I have been putting the f:eek:cking phone into RECOVERY mode over and over again...

Then I read your instructions, made the correction, and it worked like a charm! Thank you thank you thank you thank you

>>>>>FOR ALL STUCK ON THE <ID:0/00X> File analysis.." SCREEN<<<<<

[x being whatever COM port your phone shows up under... doesn't matter]...

Just check the above instruction!!!!!!!

PS I have never been so darn happy to hear that obnoxious "Galaxy S" startup screech. :p
[Captivate Android Development] sevenvt:
Dont bother mounting sd card... Not needed. Plus the com is different for everyone fyi.
[Captivate Android Development] Eschmacher:
i've been following all directions... I still keep getting stuck at file analysis :(

also, i can't enter "download" mode, just recovery mode...

EDIT: NVM IT'Z ALIVEEE

so now my question is... how do i make it the stock kernel... mine still says:

2.6.29

jetaek.lee@sep-11 #2
[Captivate Android Development] John_Q:
What did you do? I tried several different things and nothing works. It keeps stalling on file analysis. My phone bricked and it sucks. It just boots to a black screen and vibrates and nothing else. Don't know where to go from here
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
Did you follow these steps in this exact order?

1. Unplug phone and take out battery to make sure it's off. Then put the battery back in.

2. Open Odin on your computer.

3. Hold both volume up and volume down and then connect the USB cable from your computer to your phone while still holding the buttons.

4. Let go of the volume buttons when you see the yellow downloading sign.

5. Press start in Odin.

If it still doesn't work, you must not have some drivers installed right.
[Captivate Android Development] John_Q:
ADB is the key nothing else will work. Anyone who's having difficulties follow these steps.

Thanks KJPDX

I bypassed installing Adb when I rooted my phone, but its definitely a nice tool and makes things a little more simple to do.

2. Activate USB debugging

2. Plugin USB Cable into computer

3. Mount phone's SD Card

4. Open Odin3 One-Click Flasher

4. Open up ADB command window ( see below)

5. type in " adb reboot download " - Phone should reboot to Download Mode, Yellow Droid with shovel.

6. Odin3 will say 0:[COM6]

7. Press Start on the Odin3 Flasher

8. Phone will reflash and reboot.

Hope this helps. I reflashed my phone a second time to verify all the steps.

ADB Can be found through the SDK Android

download here....http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

To open it after extracting the SDK

shift and right click open command window on the tools folder follow step 5 onwards.....
[Captivate Android Development] 47r0n1n:
If you are using Windows 7 you have to run Odin as an Administrator. So right click Odin .exe and select "Run as Administrator"

Odin3 Time

I started the master clear process 2 hours ago...how long does it normally take?
[Captivate Android Development] razerbeans:
So how long did it take for everyone else to get this installed? As of right now I'm stuck with the following in the Odin window and it's been there a while:

<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> Set PIT file..

<ID:0/004> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

Does this just mean that it's still working on everything or that it is frozen?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
whenever i do a stock flash with it, it takes literally less than 2 minutes
[Captivate Android Development] razerbeans:
Any suggestion as to what I should do now? I still have it sitting at the downloading screen. Would I just battery pull and try Method 3 all over again?

EDIT: Did a little bit a research in this thread and found this post in response to the same issue that I was having:

Followed those instructions and everything worked out fine! Definitely a relief. :D
[Captivate Android Development] phohammer:
I accidentally closed Odin while in download mode. Does this mess it up?

[Captivate Android Development] chvybeatsford:
ok so now a new problem ...... Got the stock flash to work but i cant master reset....i let it sit for more than 5 mins nothing 10 mins nothing,.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
master clear only works once your phone is booted up and usb debugging is on. you cannot run it from download or recovery mode
[Captivate Android Development] chvybeatsford:
Do i mount the usb?

Galaxy S not booting.. Please Help

PLEASE HELP: Calling all experts!!!

After installing the: [STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers CAPTIVATE ONLY

My Galaxy S 19000 is stuck on the at&t boot screen.. the at&t logo just keeps flashing...

I cannot get onto download mode...

PC is not recognising phone via Kies, odin or anything else...

Something tells me I have made a huge mistake somewhere along the line.. any fix???

Thank you
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
The mistake was flashing a firmware posted with big red letters saying for Captivate only on a i9000.
[Captivate Android Development] Konshens:
Yeah I've realised that.. but is this not rectifiable some way?
[Captivate Android Development] id10terrordfw:
You can try entering download mode the Captivate way.

Open Odin and load an i9000 ROM. PDA, Phone, and CSC will all be required as Odin One Click replaces all three. Use the 512.pit for the i9000 as well.

Remove Battery, SIM, and external SD card.

Replace battery. DO NOT POWER ON.

Hold BOTH volume buttons while inserting USB Cable.

See if that enters download mode.

[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
That has always been the most reliable way to enter the download mode. If you can't make that work, you will have to do something drastic (like the alleged heat method), or repeatedly attempting adb reboot download in the hope that your phone will at some point be recognized by ADB.
[Captivate Android Development] nooomoto:

Firmware and Kernel version

My captivate was only rooted. I had not installed any of the ROMs floating around. I wanted to unroot and go back to factory so I could see if I would be able to grab the update. After running Odin I noticed that my firmware and kernel version still says 2.1-update1, 2.6.29 jetaek.lee@sep-11 #2.

Is this correct? I have looked and search the forums and seems like this question has been asked a few times, but not confirmed.

Also, are users just getting notified of the update without having to check for updates? Because honestly, the whole checking one time in 24 hours is just stupid. I can't believe AT&T did this....although it really shouldn't be a surprise.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:

I had the i9000 kernel on it when it happened and none of the key combos will do the trick.

Please someone help me. x_x

EDIT: I should also include it was a fresh install of the i9000 ROM, so I haven't even changed the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] xfernand:
I'm in a similar situation.

I was running Cognition 2.1.2 when I got an OC error of some sort. Now I'm stuck at a loop at the AT&T screen after trying to go flash back to stock. The Oneclick to stock fails with a "data wipe failed..." message when the phone reboots. It is now in an AT&T screen loop. What's my recourse now? Tried the original firmware from Samsung via Odin.... Same results.

Anyone?
[Captivate Android Development] konawayne:
Thanks, **** worked I was able to get back into download mode. ODIN stalled @ the file analysis part and I had to disconnect my phone afterwards phone wouldn't power on and volume up/down + power combination didn't work, battery didn't indicate it was charging,etc...
[Captivate Android Development] jgchaval:
By downloading this file, I will be able to update my Captivate to the latest firmware (I897UCJF6) right? ...as easy as it looks?

Does the phone need to be rooted before running the Odin?

My phone is currently running the stock ROM and is network unlocked, shall I lock it again?
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
No, this flashes the stock ROM, which is what you have now. If you want the latest, go to Settings on your phone and then go to Software Update > Check for Update.

[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
Unplug phone.

Enable USB Debugging on phone.

Turn off phone.

Open Odin on computer.

Hold down both volume buttons and then plug in phone to computer while still holding volume buttons.

Phone should be in download mode.

Start it.
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:
I had the exact same problem. It just froze at that point, bricking the phone. I tried it over and over again. Odin3 would work fine until that point. So, finally I decided to try a master clear rather than starting the flash process.... BIG MISTAKE! It, too, froze. So I had to unplug and remove the battery again, only this time when I reconnected it to my computer, windows 7 wouldnt even recognize it! It was completely dead! It wouldnt turn on or anything and now I couldnt even get it into download mode. The computer I was using was a desktop running Win 7 Professional x64. I'm not sure if Odin3 doesnt like Win 7 or if its a 64 bit thing or what? I had the 64 bit drivers installed and have had no problem using Droid Explorer or using ADB from a cmd window. I'm also not sure if Odin3 requires a certain version of .NET. I suspect it doesnt because it opened up fine and ran until it got to the file analysis stage.

The only way I was able to fix it was to download and install the drivers on my old laptop running Vista. Once I did that Odin3 was able to do its thing and was completely done in about 2 minutes.

So, now i dont do anything with my phone on Win 7, only on Vista.
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
Hi - I've gone through many threads and all point me back to Odin. I've tried to connect the phone and flash via Odin3. However Odin doesn't want to pick up my device (Captivate). Am rooted, disable lagfix (RyanZA) and basically deleted some of the known clutter apps from AT&T.

I want to revert back to more of a stock ROM so that I can start over, but now I can't do anything. Any tips? TIA!
