so a couple days ago i was about to put on a custom rom to my captivate.. but first the 3 download buttons doesnt work so i put it in download via adb.. for my suprise when in download i uloaded a wrong bootloader or kernel to the phone so now every time i try to boot the phone it onl shows at&t logo then diferent samsung logo(not the original S) and loops for ever..! and if i try to connect phone to computer via usb it shows the battery power,then vibrates, then shows an empty battery with a yellow sign /!\ and a temperature meter.(all that in a loop also). any ideas? i already try making my own jig but no download mode.. ando pc only recongnize sometimes a intel flasing device instead of a phone...

You might need to buy a jig

You're definitely not hard bricked since your phone still does something when it's plugged in -- so there's hope. Keep trying your homemade jig and see if that works eventually (it's very frustrating trust me). USB combos don't work for download mode?
