for any one having this problem i have an easy fix for you.

samsung galaxy s user manual

on page 114 (on page 119 of adobe reader forgot to that thanks dave1977nj) as it very specifically states how and that you can get into recovery mode. therefore if your phone can not do it then it is defective.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veener79:
I just got this phone and with not even having it a week I am still not sure if I want to down load other ROM's yet. Even though for my old Windows phone and other ones I would some times do it more then once a week. I goess it is not being good with this new OS yet.

I know with the old MS phones once your bricked a phone it was done for. You could not recover or use the use phone again. With the Captive can you still kill the phone if your brick it? Or no matter what you can get the phone working again using this 3 button combo and getting to the right screen?

I woul like to know this before I start doing some big playing around with this phone. Tonight I was to get my phone setup so I can get that ATT stuff off my phone. I have not done much to my phone yet at all.

Ok I just got my captivate a few days ago. It is stock, I wanted to update to the new FROYO but can't get into download mode, and after reading and trying EVERYTHING in this thread I can't get into recovery mode either....

build date is 2010.8.25

sw version is I897UCJF6

I read something about the OTA update and a fix for this.... JH7 is the ota I *think* how do I get that?

In the Froyo thread I think some people were having to downgrade if they updated to JH7.... how would that affect my getting to download mode?

Please help... I feel so helpless.... I could jailbreak my iphone no problems... I could hack my tilt, no questions asked.... :confused::(

***************update***************

I was able to get the OTA update and that fixed the buttons, I got into download moad and had Froyo in about 5 minutes! YAY!!

Buttons not working

Here is my horrible story:

The two button with usb connection with Odin running worked in the beginning. I loaded the Froyo ROM then decided to roll back using the Odin3 stock ROM method which worked fine. I was having a strange issue so I decided to redo the Odin3 stock ROM (again with working two button/usb connection). During the flash, something happened so I had to disconnect the phone and take out the battery.

After putting the battery back in i ONLY get the phone----!----computer screen AND the two and three button methods DO NOT WORK anymore. I have a completely bricked phone and do not know what to do. I've tried every combonation posted and still now luck. Any thoughts?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chargerdude70:
Question for you. My situation was same as yours and OTA fixed my 3button problem. With that said. I see you have gone to Froyo. Have you done any of the updates? If so, how were the accomplished? Did you Odin back to JH6? If so, do you still have the 3 button. I would like confirmation from someone with my similar situation. I do not want to lose 3 button....reason why I havent gone COG yet.....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdsatyr:
was one of the lucky ones that the OTA worked to fix the download issue then I flashed several cog roms, somewhere in the process lost ability to go to download .... have been told that if I had used odin I would have been ok rather than using clockwork ... don't know if its true or not just passing info along... and oh yes my warrenty replacement should be here in a couple of days

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ntdb:
Well, it was only after my 30 days that I finally found time to test out my button combos and I have yet to find one that works. I can't manage to get into recovery or download mode via buttons. Also, I just installed JH7 via Kies Mini and still no luck.

Is this reason to get a replacement phone? I do plan on flashing different ROMs and mods and whatnot. If so, I got my phone online: should I go to AT&T or Samsung since my 30 days is up?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rainmanram:
I know this sounds like a hassle, but it worked for me. Roll back to stock using Odin, then do the Over The Air update to JH7. It is loading more than just the firmware. Mine reported a failure and I was still on J?6 but 3 button magically started working. I've since updated using Kies to get the JH7 update.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ntdb:
Hey, it's worth a try. Are people noting that the OTA restores 3-button while the Kies update does not? Thanks a bunch for your help.

Hi Everyone,

New guy here, got the phone Saturday night. Rooted & Voodoo'd, not much else.

My Cappy's info:

FTA SW Version: I897.005

FTA HW Version: REV0.4

3 finger salute doesn't work for me.

This does not work for me either.

... is there a resource that describes all the JH JM mumbo jumbo? How do I see which version I'm running? And then I'll want to know what that means I should do. ;)

Since adb works for me, I'm not super worried about bricking the phone. But I've only got 27 days to decide if I can or cannot live without the 3 finger salute. And that leads me to ask: If I can do the remove battery+SIM then USB into download mode, will the phone then boot into recovery mode on its own? (Meaning if I can do this then I don't care about 3 finger salute)

Thanks!

Chris

ps - I'm a software engineer and look forward to being able to help out when/where I can. Haven't got too much experience with programming phones or building kernels, but have done plenty of stupid tricks to wireless routers, iPhone, etc, and managed to not permanently brick anything yet despite my best efforts and a few close calls.

[Droid 2 General] jdmba:
I just got my Droid 2 and am having trouble with aol. Perhaps someone out there more experienced in the ways of the D2 and AOL can help:

AOL is the primary email, and I am set up properly (in that I can successfully send email, and receive email). However, I am not seeing the most recent 10-25-100 (whatever its set for) emails; just a smattering across the emails I have. In other words, what I see on aol.com and what I see on the D2 are 2 very different sets of email. I am set up as IMAP.

Thanks!
[Droid 2 General] facelessuser:
Not trying to be mean, but I don't know many people that still use AOL. It will probably take a while for someone to answer who has this combination of phone and email. I hope you get answer though, but you can't be the only one.
[Droid 2 General] jdmba:
...

Ironically, I thought I had finally gotten an answer, but, unfortunately (as you know), the post was not an actual answer. <sigh>. I do appreciate your hope that someone actually does answer though.

In the interim, I have moved my wife to K-9 which does handle it better. Would have rather stayed with stock though.
[Droid 2 General] chrstdvd:
I just tested mine to see. I just get spam from AOL, so I do not want it on my phone.

1.drawer

2. open My Accounts

3. Hit "Add account" on bottom

4. Hit red @ email icon

5. entered address

6. entered password

7. left "automatically configure account" checked

8. hit "next"

It did its thing and I got 25 messages downloaded to the phone in notification bar

I went to AOL on computer and it is the exact same in my in box.

Hope this helps.
[Droid 2 General] jdmba:
:)

Chris - Thank you so very much for looking into the matter, it is greatly appreciated!

After a lot of prior testing, I settled on K-9. My wife keeps her maximum 775 messages on AOL (yes, there is a lot wrong with that sentence) and the stock email program was giving her a more or less random selection of the messages. Sure she got 25 as well (or 50 or 100 depending on setting) but it wasn't the most recent 25 nor was it consistent. I suspect stock was skipping "read" messages. Regardless, K-9 does properly handle AOL.

Thank you again!

THEN, i flashed the 2.07.51.22_2 and my phone has not powered up since. it will not go into bootloader and when the update util was done, my laptop said it needed to install a new hardware driver for qualcomm cdma. now i now this is bad. but could someone explain why it did this and why my phone isnt powering on and if ill ever be able to use it again??!!?!?! any help would be appreciated.

so ive read part of three threads where everyone is stating that as long as they cannot get it to go into bootloader, they cannot charge me and theyll repair my phone or send me a new one. though i am worried that i havent read anything about any phones coming back to the peoples having this problem.. i dont have insurance through tmobile so im assuming i cant send it back to them, i am however still under the year manufacturers warranty provided by htc. does it matter who i send it to? and has anyone had experience with this particular problem that can acclaim to or deny me the assurance of me getting my phone back? lol.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davewaave:
Do not lie, as that could bite you in ways you don't want to deal with; as in fraud, etc. Our phones are around $550, a retainer for an Attorney to defend you against criminal charges would be a lot more.

I would go into tmobile, and when you go into store you simply tell them the truth that the phone doesn't work.

Definitely a drag that you bricked the phone. Could have been me, probably will be someday when I get too eager or careless.

Anyhow, let us know what happens.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
well for a start this is the regular hd2 section, have you read any of the posts in the tmous section? (Well, no, else you would have seen the myrriad warnings about flashing ..51.. radios :) )

Loads of people have had them repaired after this type of brick, and the only people that haven't have been those that confessed to flashing.

And no, just because it is HTC, they cant see into a broken bootloader. The best they can do is JTAG the phone, and that flashes a new bootloader anyway, wiping out any trace of what you did.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jswllms3:

Though this might not be related to here as my HD2 was running on android. Still wanted to let know people what I did.

When you are flashing rom's or doing other thing the battery does not get charged and if one keeps flashing roms the battery will get drained and you would not know as there is no indicator for the same.

There is one method which was mentioned in the Motorola Defy forum. Take the USB cable and cut off the micro USB end to reveal four wires. Peel of two wires black and red (used for power) and connected those to the battery ports on your phone. Black is negative and red is positive. The positive and negative terminal will be mentioned on the battery. Be careful to attach the wires to their respective ports. Now put the other end (big USB end) to the mains as like charging. The phone should power on. If not its bricked.

thanks

Last night I got woken up at 4:04 (I lol'd when I saw it) by my phone that was vibrating and wouldn't stop. When I pressed the power button on top of the device, the screen showed my wallpaper for less than a second, and then turned off. I can't get it on again, when it's plugged into the charger, the LED stays off. It doesn't seem to respond to anything.

So is there anything I could try before sending it off to the insurance company?

[edit]

When I plug it in now, the orange LED comes on, meaning it's charging. When I press the power button the LED goes off as if it is preparing to boot, then the LED comes on again and charges again.

[edit 2]

Seems to be working again. Charged it for a few minutes and now it's back on again and has loaded Android. The constant vibrating was odd. I guess the charger wasn't properly connected or something and it was shutting down while also receiving a notification.

The thing I was most scared of was getting a new one from the insurance company and it being an SLCD version. :rolleyes:
