Wondering why you used this if you were on stock Rogers? This is for getting out of soft brick plus some other cases where you changed bootloaders to use gingerbread.

Sounds like you can not get into download mode via buttons combos. You will need to make a JIG or buy one. It may be cheaper to buy one IMO, all usb cables are not the same. I made a JIG using a usb adapter and resistors (quick) method, plus I purchased one as thanks for the video the guy made fire showing how to do it.

Download mode is your first step to flash odin again.

My two cents. Hope that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
read up a few posts i just answered this question:

you will need a jig to get into download mode.

And since you are on rogers intead of the link thats in my quote above use this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=979133

either one would work though, this one wont have any at&t branding
[Captivate Android Development] Baladeen:
I used it because I missed reading the how to condensed in the general section. I feel so stupid for not reading up properly about it, specially after years of successfully toying with IPAQ6955 and then the magic. I was excited and wanted to get to a 2.3.4 rom right away. I just couldn't go back to a samsung bloated 2.2 after the yoshi 2.3.4

After rooting the stock 2.2, I was getting the authorization error when attempting to change the recovery. Found the odin3 thread. Followed instructions but somehow it all went badly :(

I have taken the phone to a repair shop in mississauga. I am hoping for good news, phone was 2 days old
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
I hope that wasn't a rogers repair center if it was your warranty is gone now. If not You'll get good knews ... All except the bill for "repairing" it. You could have made/bought a jig for less than 10 u.s. dollars followed the instructions I gave you and fixed it yourself.
[Captivate Android Development] yguns76:
I hope the guy is lucky and is not presented a bill. For the record, I like the stock rom even more since trying other roms. Hopefully an official ice cream sandwich is on the horizon.
[Captivate Android Development] Baladeen:
they are an independent shop. Rogers does send them work but they are not affiliated. if for any reason the shop fails to bring it back to life. I will try the JIG using your instructions.

What I did.
[Captivate Android Development] iMohak:
Odin v.3 engine (ID:24)..
File analysis..
Set PIT file..
DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

This is exactly the state of my ODIN window when I was attempting to flash JF6 from the current Continuum 5 ROM.

Now, I have a phone that does nothing.

The power button, volume buttom combo doesnt work it seems. Would a JIG help instead? Any opinions.

I am scared :eek:

I am running apex 5.3. and when I try to put it in download mode, clockwork recovery launches. how can I prevent this from happening?
[Captivate Android Development] jswclw:
With the new boot loaders in place for Gingergread, the button combos for download mode and recovery are changed. Download is now volume-down/power, recovery is volume-up/power.
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
I am able to get a COMM connection with this without getting into download mode should I be able to do this?
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
Yeah, but it should be a different one than if you were in download mode and any attempt at flashing while not in download mode should just return a fail message.
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
Wait so does master clear bring it back to stock?
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
Please answer, this is urgent!
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
no it does not... master clear will only clear data from your entire phone...i.e. the SD card (hard drive)

Use odin to master clear when flashing new ROMs, for extra cautious people, to help prevent anything from going wrong or data from a previous ROM remaining behind and causing problems with the new one.
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
I can't boot into download mode on Continuum and it just stays at the AT&T screen please help me!
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
what version of Contiuum are you on?

And what exactly are you trying to do?
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
5.5 and I cans till boot into continuum, but using rom manager can't get into recovery or vol +-power to get into download mode
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Damn dude...did you read the continuum op at all?

Button combo is different for gingerbread bootloaders for download is vol down and power.

Recovery is volume up and power.

How about you take a step back from your phone and read a few threads before you wind up unhappy
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
okay... so you went thru the steps cezar laid out in this thread here ---->http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1045160

youre using vol up/power button to get into recovery right?

vol down/power button for download correct?

once you flash conituum 5.5, youre now using Gingerbread bootloaders and 3 button combo wont work anymore... have to use vol up power button for recovery and vol down and power for download mode
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
Yes I tried that...but all i did when installing was booted into recovery and flashed the Continuum zip and rebooted...was i supposed to install a bootloader?
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
I repeat: How about you take a step back from your phone and read a few threads before you wind up unhappy
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
Honestly, i have...

I can get where it says Downloading... Do not turn of Target!!!
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
ok...now open odin one click connect the phone while it says that, you should see a yellow com port in odin, now hit start.
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
Ok, now THAT part is not there.

There is a thing in yellow that says 0:[COM4] when the phone is booted
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
is your usb plug plugged into the front of your pc or the back? if its in the front pull it out AFTER DISCONNECTING YOUR PHONE FIRST and plug the usb into the rear of the pc. thats what worked for me
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
that yellow thing is what you want to see
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
That shouldn't make a difference and I'm on a laptop with 3 ports on the sides
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
But it's only there when my phone is not in that download mode...
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
sometimes it does, anyways if you see a yellow com box in odin then your phone is connected to it. now what are you trying to do with odin now.? loading a new kernel or something? you said youre on C5.5 right
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
Yes, and I'm trying to get back to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
my god its the myopic leading the blind...

your phone must be in download mode for odin to flash anything. if it does not see your phone while in download mode switch usb ports and reboot the computer.
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
im confused now..... you are on C5.5 now but you want to go back to stock 2.1? or are you trying to go back to stock to load C5.5?
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
I'm trying to get back to stock just to start anew because C5.5 kinda took messed everything up for me.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
i apperciate you trying to help...but you arent doing much but confusing both of you.

here is what happened... this genius flashed continuum 5.5 while still on eclair/froyo bootloaders. thus resulting in a bootloop, what he needs to do now is flash back to stock and read some more or he will brick his phone.
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
I am not bootlooped. I can get into continuum and download apps and all that good stuff, just you know, kinda lost my download mode...
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1045160

re-read this. it spells put how to go go back to stock safely.. gives you options to do it and keep GB bootloaders or completely wipe everything.

sorry but i cant picture right now where youre at in this process to be of any value or help
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
thanks for clarifying, just trying to figure out what he did in order to help fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
so it boots...what happens when you hold the power button and press "recovery"?

or "download"?
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
Ok! Thank you for bringing this up! THIS is my problem you guys, it just gets stuck on the "AT&T world phone" screen
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
However, i can manage to get to where it says "Downloading..." but then odin doesnt recongnize a phone plugged in.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
thats pretty weird... it should bootloop not ever get into the OS because you are on a gingerbread rom with eclair/froyo bootloaders the boot image for the gb bootloaders is a black gt I9000 screen not the at&t worl phone screen.

i have no idea why it goes to the OS i will be messing around with stuff and see if i can reproduce that. because it should bootloop.

the previous instructions i gave are still relevant, get odin to recognize the phone in download mode and flash to stock with odin one click.
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
Thanks so much for you help...and i have no idea what i managed to do. at least i can still use my phone (that'll probably stop because i just said this) but anyway thanks i'll keep trying and if anybody else can offer some advice, please feel free...
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
thats why i was confused....:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
I'm still confused?... I messed this up greatly...
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
try this version of odin and the included stock rom package...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=995143
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
Ok, I'll see what happens...
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
That didn't work either...
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
be specific!! the same not recognizing problem? a new more ****ty problem? give me something to work with man!! :D

if its the not recognizing problem...id say uninstall drivers. reboot. reinstall drivers. reboot. try again ...repeat that process for every usb port, if you never get it recognixed try a different pc
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
Ok, so i got my captivate, i rooted it. I flashed continuum in recovery. I can boot into continuum. Continuum doesn't save apps if i reboot i lose all my apps. I can't boot into recovery. I can get to the screen that says "Downloading...". and thats about it
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
So get your phone in download mode and recognized by odin.
[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
That is my problem, it won't get recognized.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Already gave you instructions...that's about all I got:
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
@studacris this is torture. Send this kid to the irc chat for help. It does sound like a driver issue. Did he flash bootloaders and the kernel? I don't get it. If he didn't flash the bootloaders he should be bootlooped. If he's seeing the at&t world screen no way he flashed continuum 5.5 successfully. If only people could follow Icezar's very detailed instructions in the op things like this could be avoided. I am pretty sure there is a method to have windows get the proper drivers.

How did you flash in recovery? Did you first flash bootloaders and the kernel with Odin? Can you please post a link to what you think you've flashed?

[Captivate Android Development] okachowwa:
All that I flashed was the Continuum Rom .zip file and that is it
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
That's what I thought. Not to kick you when you are down but this is why the instructions are so long and clear. You learn from mistakes like this. Does Windows see your phone?

Is your phone set to mass storage with usb debugging checked? I think it needs to be for Odin to work. Also I found this I thought it might help you work out your driver issue.

Cool. I was trying to go back to stock with this, while in download mode but after 2 - 3 or so minutes no progression bar showed up on either the phone or in Odin. How long should i wait for it to do its thing before I know it did not work? Cause I see in the first post it says that it would take some time but I figured after 2 - 3 mins something would happen.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Give it about 5 minutes. If it doesn't start to show progress you may have to pull the battery, plug into a rear USB port, restart Odin and run as administrator. What does it say in Odin? As much detail as possible.

i used this to go back to stock like 5 times. the sixth time i used it it decided to brick my phone :( and it said it had been successful and everything passed and stuff. now i cant enter into download mode. i turn on the phone. the white ATT screen shows and it loops that screen a million times. and i dont have enough money for a jig :(
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
You're not bricked. You're boitlooped. Pull your battery and unplug your phone. Restart your PC, run Odin as administrator, plug your cable into a rear port, replace the battery, hold volume up and down at the same time, don't touch power and plug in. This should put you in download.

Ok, scary story here. My friend got a new captivate from a warranty replacement. It was a buil 11.02 or something like that.

He tried to root it using the one click root we have all used before. And it gave some error about unsigned code, and would not install.

So he figured they added something new and he would just flash back to stock and go from there.

So phone in download mode proceeds to run odin one click and it gets stuck at

Set PIT file..

DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

for at least 30 min so he pulls it out and now it's the "phone!computer" screen only.

Here is where it gets wierd, the phone would not go back into download mode any of the ways it should, and he did not have a jig.

He was trying to make it go into download mode by connecting the usb, and for some reason odin picked it up and showed a com port. even though the phone was still on the "phone!computer" screen.

So he figured what the heck press start and see what happens.

It actually started running and then got stuck on the Params.pfs file for another very long time, and when he pulled it this time it was dead for good, black screens wouldn't power at all, not even a jig would fix it.

Does anybody know why this happened? Should I be worried to flash my 10.08 build with odin one click?

I thought odin wouldn't even run if not in download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
sometimes that screen will initiate download protocol and the flash will continue as though it was in the normal download mode.

i wouldnt be worried about using odin one click on your phone...unless the problem was a faulty usb port or chord or driver issue that caused the hang.

but my guess is your friend's brick was one of those later build phones that odin one click extends its arm and gives the finger to.

but if your still worried i've posted a link to a no bootloader stock rom package that has no risk of bricking in this thread a good 10 times.
[Captivate Android Development] amucinom:
Thanks for the advice. I tried it, exactly how u described, but instead of booting into download it shows the battery image it displays while charging. :/
[Captivate Android Development] brannutz:
What is this and is there any way of knowing if one click is gonna give you the finger?

I need to send my 10.07 build back for warranty replacement so I don't think the safe version with no bootloaders will do it for me.

I just got my new refurb 10.08 build phone and now i'm scared lol. It has froyo stock. Can I still root it and rom it like I did with my original cappy?
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:

I completely borked my imei number.... would this one click reverting back to stock restore that? Right now I have a generic number. I have searched other threads on how to restore the number but they all say to use the back up efs file. I do not have a back up of this file, guess I will from now on. I'm just trying to avoid a repair center unless its my only option.

How to Restore easily

Open Odin

Turn on phone

Makesure settings are set to USB Debugging

Connect the USB cable to the phone

click start in Odin

Turn off your phone

The phone will automatically enter into download mode.

Then press start in Odin.

Sit back and watch the new ATT rom being installed in under 5 mins.

Turn off the phone while its in Odin? I thought you had to leave phone on... This process will get me back to complete stock 2.1 I know but Im trying to get my inside number back to original.

I read another thread that someone got this to restore their imei but when I tried it, the number was the same generic one I have now

EDIT: IMEI, NOT INSIDE

I'm curious...how did this end?
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Im sure he did a battery pull and then got the phone_!_computer screen. Easiest thing to do is to BUY A JIG. When I tried using Odin to FTS from CM7, mine hung up at sbl.bin the first two times, then the third time it hung at factoryfs.rfs then the fourth time it ran through without a hitch. Also, it could be the USB port that you connect to. It has to be one closest to the motherboard and Odin has to be ran as admin.
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Closest to the motherboard? I'm hoping you mean any use onboard USB port, instead of using a USB port that's connected via cable to a motherboard header or an external hub.

Odin doesn't have to be run as admin. I'm running Win 7 Ultimate x86 and I've never run Odin as an administrator. Nothing in Odin interacts with any protected files, so that's not necessary AFAIK.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
While it may be true that it doesn't do anything with your computer system files, it does work to run as admin if it keeps getting stuck in one place
