Unplug. Hold both volume up and down while plugging in USB then continue to hold for a second or three.
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
Hey guys, I'm sorry my first post has to be something so stupid but after multiple successful uses of Odin in my lest to update to the latest version of a ROM i forgot to pull my SIM out of my phone before using Odin. Initially I was only seeing the blue circle with line trough it where the signal strength bars usually are but it seems now that the phone is connected to AT&T's network and it "seems" to be working. Should be phone be working OK now or do i need to do something?
[Captivate Android Development] PlutoISaPlanet:
OK, that works. I was getting hung up thinking the power button was involved in this process. So now:

Odin's Open

Go into Download Mode

Hit Start

Same message: <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Open odin in administrator mode if it still fails. If that fails I don't know. Lots of people have issues with apps interfering with USB communication or just flakey USB.
[Captivate Android Development] PlutoISaPlanet:
rebooted and reinstalled the drivers and it worked. Thanks for all your help.
[Captivate Android Development] used2hvatreo:
On both of the computers I own, Windows 7 64-bit, when I try to install drivers I get an error indicating that 2 "devices" are unknown and the drivers failed to install.

I have tried rebooting and installing on both computers, and neither of them will do anything when I try to "Odin" them. And thats on both Master Clear and Start. Any ideas or tricks, or do I just need to wait until Monday and get the work laptop with its fancy XP OS to do this?
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Have you tried using a rear usb port?
[Captivate Android Development] DrunkenWonton:
Can someone please explain why under about phone, it still shows that it is 2.1-update1, eclair

was it not suppose to be 2.2 Froyo

did i do something wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I guess. Did you think these phones came stock with froyo?
[Captivate Android Development] DrunkenWonton:
no it was eclair for sure stock
[Captivate Android Development] romanvaldezo:
YES! same happend to me. i have insuranceand got a new one free
[Captivate Android Development] zzs1:
my phone is same,,,

i cant go into downloading mode even i hold volume up and down and power
[Captivate Android Development] DrunkenWonton:
i got into download mode once... dont no how, but now i cant again
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
To the above noob posters: did you read the instructions on how to get into download mode? There are three methods; I suggest using #3.
[Captivate Android Development] Izzy_Britton:
I bricked my phone trying to update to a froyo lastnight. I bought a new phone off craigslist today. after applying update to new phone it became extremely sluggish.

so now with odin i am trying a master clear. how long should a master clear take and once thats done if i so attempt to froyo update again, how long should the froyo update take?

i am very discouraged by the bricking of one phone i certainly do not wish to brick another. i am concerned and guarded by the amount of time it is taking for a master clear.

is it ok to unplug phone while doiing master clear without breaking the phone???
[Captivate Android Development] sboggs74:
stalls at factoryfs.rfs

I keep getting stuck at the factoryfs.rfs install. Suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] used2hvatreo:
I did indeed, im thinking it must be a problem with my particular version of Windows 7, im going to try my work computer on Monday
[Captivate Android Development] Izzy_Britton:
How long does it typically take to to flash a phone using ODIN and the START button? 12 hours later there is no change.

this is a simple question that anyone should be able to answer if they have done the update even once!

come on people give me a time frame to expect to flash a captivate stock rom or any other for that matter using odin. I do not want to brick this one so i dont want to unplug it prematurely.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
Have you bothered to search this thread for what you are asking? That question has been answered so many fuggin times it's unreal. It literally should not take you more than 5 minutes from start to finish.

I love people that refuse to comprehend what they are doing.

Sent from my {insertromnamehere} Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] Izzy_Britton:
yeah i searched. and searched and fuggin searched and never found an answer that was definitive. "not long" and " just let the magic happen" seem to be the default useless answers... after 12 hours of watching "the magic" do absolutely fuggin nuthin i pulled the cord...

i bricked the last phone because "a few minutes" turned into a coupla hours and i said screw it if nothing gonna happen nothing gonna get hurt and yeah the phone refuses to operate at all...

so excuse ME! for wanting clarification on this before i screw up another phone. rather than have a smart ass answer or belittle or ridicule someone for 'not knowing what they are doing' why dont you take a step back and remember that you were not born as the all knowing all seeing almighty guru of every fugging thing and at one point you too may have asked someone a question that was obvious to them that they may have seen as a dumb question that ultimately you got an answer to before you jump down my throat or anyone else for that matter. this is a place to learn and share info, and if you cannot help keep your fuggin yap shut! nobody appreciates that kind of attitude around here.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
***edited by me, because I am tired of acknowledging people***
[Captivate Android Development] Izzy_Britton:
thank you for answering my question. I negated to mention that your answer was helpful. and i sincerly hope that others with find the actual answer portion of your post helpful.

I was able to fix the first phone after successfully getting the updates installed on my second phone. after spending 800$ on 2 phones in less than a month you might be able to understand why i "demanded an answer".

the second phone choked after a JH7 OTA update and froze. after attempting an odin flash to stock and watching the magic for 12 hours it gets a bit frustrating and yes i got frustrated. I have read many many treads and as i said i have searched and searched and search for a definitive answer as to the amount of time it takes odin to do a flash. forgive me for not reading all 112 pages of this tread word for word or the 541 pages of another tread about flashing and odin or the 400+ others on another tread, the list goes on and there are laterally thousands of pages of pure **** that are posted by new people such as myself and literally thousands of pages of asshole helpless responses to those questions or mostly NO RESPONSE to those questions.

I agree that those of us who are not 100% familiar with what we are doing in respect to custom **** on our phones maybe shouldnt be dicking with our phones but lets face it, some of us newbs are just trying to fix a ****ed up ATT update. SUCH AS MYSELF.

and again i will say that your response to my question was quite harsh. i asked on another tread and got 2 very simple replies. answered elsewhere may be the case but i challenge you to find a definitive answer with numbers as to the amount of time it takes in THIS tread. if you find it, good on you, your better at the search than i am or you have indeed followed this tread from the beginning. maybe you can point to that post in the future because i guarantee this question /topic will come up again in the future.

help with attitude is help all the same but some people dont appreciate the attitude.

so again. thanks for the helpful answer. in the end of things it was the answer that was necessary.

**** apple and their iphone (i like your term iphail)
[Captivate Android Development] kuzcoed:
This doesn't seem to work for me, I've tried it multiple ways...

I have a Samsung Captivate from AT&T I recently purchased it asked me to install an update, I did, but I canceled it, it then asked to reboot so I let it reboot and it got to "0%" and said "Update failed, rebooting" and it hasn't came on since...

I am using Windows 7 x64

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Izzy_Britton:
what do you see on your phone screen when you 'turn it on'?

remove back cover, remove sim, battery, and extra SD card if you have one.

then put battery in and turn on. what does it do?
[Captivate Android Development] kuzcoed:
Nothing, stays as a black screen.
[Captivate Android Development] Izzy_Britton:
ok, then... i must ask, is it possible that the battery is dead?

you can charge the phone while it is off, remove the battery and then put the battery back in. without pushing any buttons plug charger into phone. you should see a battery looking icon thing on the screen. if it is dead it will show a mostly black battery if it is charged it will be a green battery.

make sure you plug the phone into a wall socket and that you are not trying to charge it with the computer. sometimes the computer doesnt work as charging option
[Captivate Android Development] kuzcoed:
Battery is charged fine, my friend has a spare battery that is fully charged in another Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] AhmadAlmousa:
I tried to flash cog 2.4.1 and after installed there was a blue text and it rebooted but never came back up. I pulled the battery out and reinserted and the phone still dead, nothing at all. I tried all the key combination to get it into download mode. The computer can't even recognize if it's plugged in. I also tried another cable and another battery !

Is there anyway I can get odin to reflash it ?!
[Captivate Android Development] Izzy_Britton:
unplug usb, remove battery, reinsert battery

open odin. plug usb cable into computer (BUT NOT PHONE)

hold UP and DOWN volume keys, while holding those plug usb cable into phone. it should come on and show you big yellow triangle with droid shoveling..

if this works, odin should show ADDED. click start and it should do its thing.

where do you live?
[Captivate Android Development] kuzcoed:
That didn't seem to work for me, is there any other methods that might work?
[Captivate Android Development] AhmadAlmousa:
i tried that zillion times

the thing is totally dead .. it doesn't show the green battery when I plug it into the charger :( :(
[Captivate Android Development] kuzcoed:
Yeah it seems totally dead for me, I don't know what's going on though!! All I did was install the update but cancel it....
[Captivate Android Development] Izzy_Britton:
are you pluggin it into a power wall socket or into the computers usb port?
[Captivate Android Development] Izzy_Britton:
when plugging yours into the powered wall socket do you see the green battery? or nothing at all?

it is so hard to diagnose stuff without seeing it. everybodys interpretation of what they see if different.
[Captivate Android Development] kuzcoed:
I saw nothing. Nothing came up on the screen.
[Captivate Android Development] kuzcoed:
I do have the i897 version, not the i9000 or whatever other versions there are out there.
[Captivate Android Development] pmgnet:
Techmik67 is my hero!

YOU ARE MY HERO!!! I'VE BEEN TRYING PROCEDURES FOR 3 HOURS!

Wow. Awesomeness. Thanks.

This information should be on every Captivate thread first page.

Sweet sound of stock boot just played on my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Been flashing a few roms, figured out where I was going wrong, etc. Probably fairly typical so far. However, I cannot find the MASTER CLEAR option in Odin. Running Odin 3 v1.00. I do not see a master clear button or box anywhere. The other clear options do not get the SD card, so I have some extraneous stuff lying around and who knows what all following me to the next rom.

Where is MASTER CLEAR :).
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Odin one click, from the OP. First page of this thread.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Thanks. I was referencing the Odin wiki, and thought the version I had would do it. Downloading now!

EDIT: Actually, I had the rar already, I was just "mistakenly" using the non-one-click version.
[Captivate Android Development] kuzcoed:
Didn't work for me.

Edit:

I have another Captivate my friend uses, I tried his I saw the green abttery show up and it entered download mode, this one won't though...
[Captivate Android Development] AhmadAlmousa:
both ...

I even opened the device manager (left click on My Computer) because it refreshes once a device plugged into the computer and nothing happened whatsoever.

There is something I feel that I have to tell you. I flashed cog 2.4 on an I9000 rom so can the problem be about the 3-buttons combo that needs the physical home button ?!
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Sounds like you need to make a jig in order to force the phone into download mode. It has worked for those that have been able to make one. I know there are detailed instructions on the I9000 forums on how to do this.
[Captivate Android Development] DrunkenWonton:
so all i still see is the battery logo, no download mode, regardless of it being on debugging mode or not.

the only way i can see ANYthing pop up in odin is if i turn on my phone and plug it into the computer.

what happens if i try hitting start when the phone turned on and connected. (ie, not in download mode)

also, does it have anything to do with the fact that. mine was the Rogers phone. got download mode to work ONCE. did odin. but when it restarted, it was just the 2.1 version of AT&T. its really strange,

any ideas.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] hevangel:
Thanks Rastuk

The following instruction really works.

What worked:

- Phone *plugged in*, putting battery in. You should see a large battery symbol showing that the phone is charging, but off. Then hold down both volume keys + power. Phone will cycle to black screen, then back to battery symbol, then black screen again.

- On that second or subsequent black screens, let go of the power key.

You should end up on the android shoveling "Downloading..." screen.​

I flushed the firmware back to the stock fireware now and My Galaxy S unbricked.
[Captivate Android Development] jiannichan:
Looks like I bricked my Captivate. It is stuck on the phone --!--pc screen. I have tried every possible method to get it into download mode with no dice. I've spent about 2 hours trying to do it reading the first 20 pages of this thread and a few other pages that were linked from this one. It started when I was trying to use the One Click to restore back to default then my power flickered in the house and rebooted my PC. Any other ideas? I've had this phone about a month and 6 days now.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Make a JIG and trick the phone into download mode, there are detailed instructions on the I9000 forums.
[Captivate Android Development] jiannichan:
I was reading about it. Is that like a last resort when all else fails to get it to download and guaranteed to work? I have a few cables I can hack up to make it. I just need to run to the store tomorrow and buy the resistor.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
If you can make it, not a bad tool to have in your box. It appears that a number of people that have been able to make them report that it works, in your situation you have nothing to lose. I think it is a last resort before getting a warranty replacement.

Maybe when you computer rebooted in the middle of your flash your drivers got hosed. Have you tried to unistall them and reinstall, use a rear usb port and all that?
[Captivate Android Development] jiannichan:
Duplicate post
[Captivate Android Development] jiannichan:
Thanks! I actually wouldn't mind making a bunch and selling them to people who want one. Not sure the price I would charge though, maybe $15 shipped? For mine, I used 3x100k and 1x 1k resistor. Of course, if I decide to make some and sell it, I would use a 301k resistor instead to make it look a little nicer. I am still researching on how I would do it to make the whole thing as far as insulating/housing for it or if I would just solder the resistor on and heat shrink the whole thing. It would only take me 5 minutes to make each one as long as I have all the parts at hand.
[Captivate Android Development] lhycoolcold:
same problem here..I have tried all possible method too,but no one work.

and I live in asia , i dont know where can repair my phone.

and i've this phone about 2days only. anyone help ...

sorry for my english
[Captivate Android Development] jiannichan:
$2.14 later, well...maybe $3.75 if you include my charging cable from Amazon I bought 2 weeks ago, I am back up and running. Took me about 10 minutes to make the USB jig, since I have been soldering for over 10 years.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Glad to hear you're up and running. Those of you capable of soldering and making this JIGs could make a few bucks making them for those of us who aren't capable.
[Captivate Android Development] ricankid616:
hey im new at this and im trying to reset my captivate because i accidently locked my self out and now it says too many pattern attempts. i tried everything but i cant even get it into download mode. i press the volume buttons and insert the plug but noting happens it just starts charging. i installed the drivers above and still nothing... is there any other way for me to reset the whoole phone.. i dont mind loosing my data as long as i get it back and im able to use it... please help me with my dilema.. thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] jiannichan:
When that happens, doesn't it say to wait a while before you can try again?
[Captivate Android Development] ricankid616:
no it just boots up normally but i can do anything else since im locked out
[Captivate Android Development] jiannichan:
Best I can suggest is to build the USB jig and get it into download mode so yoy can restore it.
[Captivate Android Development] ricankid616:
what is that and how do i do it?
[Captivate Android Development] Cpt.Cheese:
Ok well, I'm trying to restore my phone to the default firmware version using Odin3 V 1.00. I'm able to get it into Download mode just fine, but when I try to restore the data, It gets stuck at file analysis. I'm running Windows XP Service Pack 3.
[Captivate Android Development] RUMC:
thank you guys, this worked great. I accidently deleted files I needed to restore my system, and it bricked my phone. Did this and its back. Great prrogram.
[Captivate Android Development] anosis:
If you have not already tried, make sure odin is open already, hook up the USB cable to the phone and use the button combo to go into download mode.

If the phone is in download mode already and then open odin, most of the time it will not correctly flash.
[Captivate Android Development] DrunkenWonton:
is there different versions of 2.2

i mean, under about phone, my say 2.2 build number FROYO.UCJI6

is this correct?
[Captivate Android Development] Cpt.Cheese:
I'm doing that exact process. Doesn't work at all.
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
Really wish I could do this...but I own a mac :(
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
What about Boot Camp + Windows 7?
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
Ehhhh, i dont really want to. Too much hard drive space
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Well then, I see a few possible options.

1) Buy a bigger drive (pro: cheap and easy; con: will it void your warranty?).

2) Buy a cheap Windows computer (pro: dedicated computer for Android hacking; con: can be expensive).

3) Buy an iPhone (pro: compatible with your computer; con: it's an iPhone ;) ).
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
Lol, never. ever. an iphone.
[Captivate Android Development] projectpaki:
omg man, like design gears, i friggin LOVE YOU bro!! I was so scared I just bricked my phone, but it worked like a charm!! Now I'm going to re-root it and download Cognition ROM again. and I am def donating to you! Keep up the great work bruv

you are my hero, i've been trying this for an hour trying to get it, but the 3 button goes directly to recovery mode (using Cog v2.3b4)
[Captivate Android Development] MarkPharaoh:
Well, I got into download mode and tried to run Odin, but I get stuck on File Analysis...it's either stuck or it's suppose to take 20+ minutes. Have retried 2 more times with the same results...any suggestions? I browsed a few of the pages here but it was mostly people having issue not getting into download mode.

Thanks for any help/direction you could give me.

EDIT: I decided to pull out my 11.6in ULV laptop which uses W7 32-bit instead of my custombuilt W7 64-bit desktop. With my ULV, Odin did not get stuck on the File Analysis phase. Does anyone have any ideas as to why it wouldn't work on my W7 64-bit machine? I'd rather not pull out this slow netbook every time I need to use Odin.
[Captivate Android Development] shane.kelly55:
i am stuck trying to flash to Stock.

I tried the Start on Odin and it stuck on DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET after like 30 mins. Tried to reboot the phone and got the dreaded yellow exclamation with phone and PC.

Finally got it into download again and tried Master clear first but its stuck on that too now. Not sure hoe long this takes?

Any advice? Just need to get back to stock 2.1.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
per the FIRST post in this thread: MASTER CLEAR requires you to be booted up already, NOT in download mode....master clear wont work in download mode

did you follow the directions properly? OPEN ODIN first (run as administrator), then put your phone in download mode.....click start
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
I would think that the only reason it works on one pc and not the other is drivers and/or usb ports...... on desktops, ALWAYS use rear, direct to motherboard usb ports, not front ports or hubs.
[Captivate Android Development] vannlambert:
reverting back too 2.1

I am new please bare with me my question would be to anyone who has restored their phone to stock . Can you get official at&t updated as well as official android updates when they become available ?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
No you can't....
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Once you flash back to stock you should have NP problems getting official at&t updates as they are offered to you. I'm not basing this on actual experience but common knowledge.
