"Method 3:(KEY COMBO)

Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one

Insert the battery

Hold both Volume buttons (from i9000 just down, don't touch the power button)

Plug in the USB cable and continue holding both Volume buttons"

So, do I just hold down at first for the i9000, and then plus in USB while holding down, or do I do both afterwards?
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
ok, so I removed battery, and then held volume down while USB was plugged in and then inserted battery.....looks like I am back in business :D

Its the easiest way to get odin to recognize as the phone hours into download without connecting first or being reboot
[Captivate Android Development] anjiru:
Please, someone

i need help, the +vol and -vol wont get me into reboot recovery, -vol wont get me into download mode, i cant get past the galaxy s splash screen, and my computer reads that the phone is there, but when i do adb shell it says device not found. i'm at my wits end. i feel so hopeless, please, if anyone can help me... i dont know what to do
[Captivate Android Development] :
Worked great! Had to use Method 3. First boot took some time but got it working now. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] scott2ride:
I have Odin3 open and am in download mode.

But how do I select the I897UCF6-final-OCD-REVO.exe file to run it via Odin3???

It came as a rar file and I unziped it. But now it is an exe file and Odin doesn't recognise it to put it in the PDA or PHONE section?

I know its an easy answer :)
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
odin doesnt recognize it because it IS odin....its a one click. seriously run the exe, put phone in download mode and click start. you dont load it up in Odin.
[Captivate Android Development] theXeffect:
i think i brick my phone....help!!!

i was using the odin file n it was loading the files onto my phone n i for got to put my battery case on n my battery fell of n when i put the battery back on my phone showed a picture of a cell phone a (!) n a picture of a computer.....i took my battery of n back on n its still the same.....i cant even reboot in to recovery or download mode..... my computer cant even find my phone........
[Captivate Android Development] sevenvt:
Battery out. Battery in. while off. Hold vol up and vol down, plug into usb while holding. Download mode should follow.
[Captivate Android Development] amjb71:
I'm in the same position, just can't get it in to download mode? I've tried every combo of button holding I have seen here, and a load I haven't, any more ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] sevenvt:
There are many key combos. List what you did or "new" ideas are harder to judge by what you have tried.
[Captivate Android Development] amjb71:
Well, I've done:

Vol down + Home key + power

Vol up + Home key + power

Vol up + Vol down + power

Vol up + Vol down + home key + power

Vol down + Home key + plugin

Vol up + Home key + plugin

Vol up + Vol down + plugin

Vol up + Vol down + home key + plugin

I have a feeling its totally bricked, I just see the "phone--!--computer" icon immediately after power-up?
[Captivate Android Development] IllegalOpcode:
pull the battery.

Put the battery back in.

start odin one click.

hold vol up and vol down.

plug the usb cable in while holding the buttons.

it should be in download mode

don't hold any other buttons but vol up and vol down.

This works if you have not tried to flash an i9000 rom.

If that is the case I am not sure what you could do.
[Captivate Android Development] amjb71:
I returned my phone this morning, and got a replacement, I think I will wait for official updates from now on, but to risky other wise, Thanks for you help!!
[Captivate Android Development] whenemusattack:
Help! I think I bricked. Followed all the instructions, but phone just sits at the downloading screen.
[Captivate Android Development] sevenvt:
Is odin doing anything?
[Captivate Android Development] whenemusattack:
it just says: <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
[Captivate Android Development] sevenvt:
Restart odin etc and start everything over

Should have reset itself.
[Captivate Android Development] whenemusattack:
think I figured out the problem, when I plug in the phone without download mode, odin shows my device on Com 3. When I boot into recovery mode odin instally doesn't recognize my device and I get a popup from Windows aying the USB device is not recognized. Yes I have the proper dtivers and even reinstalled them.
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
OK not sure what is going on here trying to do a master clear with odin and am getting no idication anything is happpening.

If someone has done this in the past can they tell me what indications they got. I don't want anything on the phone at all I want clean like when I got it. After doing one click it still leaves alot of my old stuff like launcher pro stuff sl4a and that stuff. I want a completely clean device.
[Captivate Android Development] bwolmarans:
I had this issue when I was in ADB mode, not download.

Here is what worked for me. I have a Captivate bought from AT&T business account the first week the Captivate was released.

0. uninstall any USB Samsung drivers if you are not sure you have the right ones, and reboot

1. install correct Samsung usb drivers

2. install odin from the first page of this link

3. do not touch power button on captivate.

4. Start odin.

5. take all cards & battery out of the phone but do not touch power button.

6. Put battery back in phone. Hold down both vol buttons on the phone, but do not touch power button.

7. Plug in usb cable. As soon as you do this, you will see shoveling android in about 5 seconds.

8. When you see the shoveling android click Start in Odin and it should look like the screenshot below, takes about 3 minutes then reboot phone

9. When phone reboots wait about 5 minutes.

10. When phone is completely up, media scanner finished, etc, power it off, place cards back in and power up.

When I do this, I see large icon of yellow Android shoveling and it will say download mode. Not sure why other posts here said to hold down power button. Then, I click start in Odin and very quickly it runs through some items, then progress bar. Here is screenshots of Odin (odin text box not long enough to show all status messages so had to do it in 2 screenshots). Very last message is success 1 / fail 0, then wait for phone to completely reboot it takes another 5 minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Only one thing i did diffrent was step 6. I held only the vol down button.

Between step 7 and 8. ODIN will show what port the phone is on. In my case it showed com 4 (yes its connected to usb so dont let com 4 through you a loop)
[Captivate Android Development] swatsqad:
this bricked my phone! after this method, i only get an att logo flashing on and off. download, recovery modes don't work anymore, and since i voided my warranty i can now trash the phone. (i'm also living in lithuania, so slim chances of me finding a repair shop)
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
wow. i have never seen this RESTORE TO STOCK method actually brick a phone. do you have a samsung captivate? i wasnt aware they were selling samsung captivates in lithuania.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Master clear must be ran with your phone on...connect to your pc and then on your phone swipe down the notification bar and select usb and mount your drive..Then run the master clear...:)
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Yeah figured that out after many hours of trying. You actually don't have to mount the drive. Just boot the phone in download mode leave it at the home screen then fire up odin connect the phone make sure odin connects and then hit master clear and poof all is gone.

[Captivate Android Development] swatsqad:
well no... i don't see any information about this app being limited to captivate
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
the one click restore states that it contains the i897UCJF6 - thats the stock att samsung captivate rom for the states. if you have a galaxy i9000, you need a rom made for a i9000....

by the way, you are in the captivate subforum......
[Captivate Android Development] swatsqad:
yeah well.. i noticed that i am now :P anyway, is my i9000 dead?
[Captivate Android Development] scott2ride:
I was the same. But the firmware you loaded changes how the keys work.

I tried with holding down 'Vol down' and 'power' and it instantly went into downloading mode.

Yet 5 minutes beforehand I had to use vol up and vol down together, then insert usb... then it went into download mode.

Stuck on analyzing

Hey guys, Ive been trying to unbrick my captivate since last night. I tried installing designgears mobileAP only program and it started hanging on the galaxy S screen.

I can get into download mode and sometimes i get get ODIN to recognize the phone, the problem is it always gets stuck on "file analysis". I will not move past this point. Any ideas on what to do?

Ive tried almost everything i can search for to fix the issue, but i cant get ODIN to work at all!

Any tips would be great!!

[Captivate Android Development] brookssw:
Hey All,

I just finished performing a master clear, and it was successful according to Odin, but after the reboot, all apps are still there. Anyone have any ideas as to why it didn't actually clear out the phone?

Edit: even though the master clear doesn't seem to have done anything, I'm flashing to stock anyway. Will update once that's complete.

Another edit:

I've now run a master clear successfully, and a flash to stock using odin3 ocd, also successful (see output below).

for good measure, I went into recovery mode (again) and ran both "delete all user data" and "delete cache data" with no success

When the phone finished rebooting, though, everything is still installed! All the startup applications are still trying to run, but are force closing, including the launcher so the phone is completely unusable; anything I touch FC's... PLEASE help...

Is there any way to flash back to stock without going into download mode? My phone refuses to do so via hardware keypresses (i've tried every method), and adb reboot download gives me an error: protocol fault <no status>
[Captivate Android Development] whenemusattack:
Same here, I've tried every method listed, but my phone will not boot into download mode. I can get into download mode through adb but, then odin doesn't recognize it. Is there a way we can just flash the stock ROM through recovery mode using the internal SD card?

anyone know?
[Captivate Android Development] Zborg:
re: Dunno what to do now!!!!! (need Brain power)

Hi guys i dunno what else to do I hate asking or help cause there's normally info sumwhere explaining what's what but basically i have (did) Android 2.2 (rooted)

It will enter Downloading mode but not recovery! But main thing is when i try to run Odin basically odin crashes everytime, used these files before and phone was ok as said until more messing about started (GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJP2........I9000XXJP2-REV03-PDA-CL464213..............MODEM_I9000XXJP2)

I tried re installing kies and running odin as admin but nothing seems to work, and if i gotta send to samsung, its gonna kick my ass at moment because of money situation)

I doubt Ill get any replies but worth an ask......

I dont believe it, reason Odin wouldnt run is cause of compatibility mode, which is normally first thing i do, but i think ive made it worse now I used an Odin3 ALL IN ONE and basically im stuck now with screen flashing on & off showing at&t <<<<<< and im in the UK, so please sum1 gis an idea(dont say throw it in the bin I c ant afford too, lols)

I cant enter recovery/download mode nothing and pc doesnt recognize phone at'all (drivers)
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I wanted to do this as my Market stopped working (wont download just stays trying to download forever and everything I tried failed to fix it) and it completed the whole thing but after it reboot it was still the same thing I had before, all my apps and all.

I am confused now. :-)

I only want to restore the phone but I dont want to delete all my apps from the SD Card as I assume master clear will do as I was planning to use Titanium Back Up to restore them.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] smis:
I have tried this on my captivate and it will not work?

I hold the volume keys up/dwn and power at the same time and all I get is a gray battery image with a cogwheel style icon I have even held it for over 5 minutes and it is still the same. :(
[Captivate Android Development] applebook:
Thanks to Odin for saving my behind. I purchased a pre-owned Captivate that had been rooted and lag fixed. The original owner didn't tell me, so that when I did a hard reset, all of the files from his usage remained because I hadn't uninstalled the lag fix, Busybox, etc. first. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
unplug your phone until the screen comes up.
[Captivate Android Development] nbcaznmaster:
OH SH****T. I entered download mode before ODIN was on...now when i click start. It says "ALL THREADS COMPLETED (0 Suceed/0 Fail)". All i've seen is the downloading screen for a while...also my phone CANNOT mannually boot in download mode or recovery mode via the volume buttons+power method. I've tried it for hours with no luck before. Please toss me a hand...I will leave the phone on till i know what to do next.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
unplug phone

remove battery.

fire up odin

put battery back in

turn on

plug back into computer
[Captivate Android Development] smis:
I got to file analysis but it stayed there for 30 min. still not working :(
[Captivate Android Development] draxionangel:
Hmm, I used to be able to enter download mode by holding both vol down + power button, then letting go of power after the black screen, after using this though the only way I can get in to download mode is by holding both vol up + vol down and plugging in usb. (Also, on boot the very first sec of boot is a weird screen[like the black and white fuzz when your TV doesn't have signal])

Any ideas?

Not that huge of a problem, just kind of annoying.
[Captivate Android Development] fostopolo:
im made some ***ts with my captivate...

i need a stock rom, but, it will come with default apps? (android market etc?)

and... i can just set download mode (via ADB shell) and plug?

Confirm please:

open odin > plug USB debug mode > comand adb shell to do a reboot download > click start on odin > wait > be happy ?

(im have a rooted i897, and know how to enter download mode with adb, i like this more than combo key =s

and sry, im not english and my engish is crap)
[Captivate Android Development] draxionangel:
USB Debug Mode -> Plug USB in -> adb reboot download -> Unplug USB -> Open Odin -> Plug USB in -> Flash

That's how I do it, because sometimes Odin craps out if you plug in USB before starting Odin. Although, your method might work(not 100% sure).
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
I had so much trouble trying to get this to work.. Download mode was showing and it kept saying usb not recognizing... and when i did it this way it finally worked, and the drivers installed... then after i clicked start and odin started working and it was starting to remove stuff and all of a sudden boom.... Usb not recognized! kept trying to do connect the wire on and off and nothing...

took the battery out to restart the phone and that was that... phone doesnt turn on for nothing. no recovery, no battery symbol when pluggin the usb...

its like it completely died.... now i went to att and gotta wait till friday for my replacement.... now stuff on my internal sd is gone cause i assume thats where all my backups and pictures were stored!! any idea to get them with the phone not turning on or being recognized :-(
[Captivate Android Development] SeriousBizznass:
This is the absolute BEST program ever. A LIFE SAVER. I will definately be donating when I get paid on Friday.
[Captivate Android Development] gnac:
So is there a tool like this for linux?

Can I effect the same changes from adb?

Can I offer my services to port it to linux?

I can not get this to work on my phone is there another alternative?

GOT BRICK

well I managed to brick my phone and well it wont do anything.......

now when it powers up it shows a phone and a line to a computer with a cation sign.

Now what am I supposed to do?

Computer will not see the phone
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
read the original post?

seriously...method 3. try it
[Captivate Android Development] rampantandroid:
So, my captivate seems toasted...I tried to do this, with no luck; I can get ODIN to recognize my device, but it does nothing when I hit start...it just sits there. I've let it sit for a while, and still nothing. If I try to boot the phone now, I get the black screen with a PC/phone error.

My ODIN output:

<ID:0/006> Added!!

<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..

<ID:0/006> File analysis..

<ID:0/006> Set PIT file..

<ID:0/006> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

How can I recover my device now?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
Do you have ODIN running BEFORE you turn your phone on?
[Captivate Android Development] scott2ride:
Attention designgears, Can you edit your first post with this...

Hi designgears.

I great One Click restore.

HOWEVER.... Can you edit your first post instructions to tell people to make sure Kies is turned OFF?

When it is on the One click restore runs for 3-4 seconds then fails. Did it 30 times.

I easily get the phone in download mode (For mine it is holding BOTH vol buttons down and nothing else. After 3 seconds plug in the USB and then she goes into download mode.)

Anyway, the file transfer always failed because I had Kies running. Turned Kies off and instant success.

Im running XP Pro update 3.

Cheers

Scottie (Semi retarded Newbie) :)
[Captivate Android Development] scott2ride:
Turn phone off, disconnect battery, remove sim card. Reinstall battery.

Have USB DISCONNECTED.

Turn of Kies software.

Close Odin3 One click recovery

Reopen one click recovery.

Get phone into Download mode.

Plug in USB.

Check to see the com port goes yellow in Oden one click.

If it is yellow click start.

Wait till finished.
[Captivate Android Development] emuneee:
Thanks, program is awesome. I ended up rendering my phone unusable and just needed to reinstall the firmware without erasing my \sdcard (clockmode recovery images). Was able to restore my firmware and my recovery images.

XDA saved the day.
[Captivate Android Development] rampantandroid:
I don't have KEIS installed. I cannot get into download mode because ODIN ****ed the phone. It sits there with the phone-!-PC icon...
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
METHOD 3. I have had this exact error pop up on screen. just follow the directions. Your phone is not bricked beyond repair
[Captivate Android Development] takato23:
hey i have this problem:

My problem is even worse as I explained in a different thread before. I don't even see the charging battery when I plug in the USB cable. All I see is the depleted looking grey color battery that doesn't charge. ADB commands don't work - device is not found. So it's a brick and none of the methods worked.

I heard from someone who has 3 different Vibrants, was always able to get into download mode on one of them and never on the other 2. Sounds like some phones got this feature internally blocked and some did not. I guess those that easily enter into the recovery/download modes are the lucky ones.

can anybody help me?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
pull the battery replace it while holding volume down, just volume down. If that doesn't do try it the same except hit power for 2-3 seconds while holding vol down. I thought my cappy was totally bricked until I stumbled into that method. Get's me to download mode every time. Worth a shot.
[Captivate Android Development] gcobs:
I Need help

is there a odin version for linux, or any other than i can use ?
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Odin cannot F$ck up your phone, not possible, it is something that you aren't following in the instructions in the OP. I hope you weren't running I9000 Kernel when you tried Odin because it won't work, I9000 is a Vibrant Kernel. Just be patient and start over, first unistall and reinstall the drivers in the OP and then make sure you open Odin befor plugging your phone in. If you opened Odin after you had your phone plugged in that is the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] brandonb81:
I searched for Linux in this thread but couldn't really find any answers. What about running Odin 1 click restore in Linux? Specifically, Linux Mint which is a version of Ubuntu. I can obviously open it with Wine, but is this the right way to do it? Should I install a virtual machine or just boot back into Windows 7? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
I'm PRETTY sure you need to do it in a virtual machine running windows.... don't think there's another way to odin from linux.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
there is no version of Odin for Linux. Someone in the i9000 thread is working on a cross-platform tool called Heimedall (I think) that will do the same thing as Odin from Linux/Mac/Windows, but it is very very alpha software right now. as for using it in your current setup, you need to either run it in a virtual machine with access to the USB host OR boot into a native windows environment
[Captivate Android Development] slade10401:
Please help. I have a captivate running SRE2 and everything is fine and running well. My friends GF has a captivate as well that they flashed to SRE 1.31c that now locks up at boot. The issue is regardless what we do we cannot get the phone into Download or recovery mode. I know that I am doing everything right since I can get the phone into both modes on my phone. Any suggestions on hoe to force the phone into download mode so that I can use Odin? As a side note Odin will see the phone while it is booting when the phone is attached to the com while booting.

Thanks,
