bricked rogers captivate? help please

[GTFO!]

Hey, I was updating my rogers captivate through the kies software from 2.2 to 2.3 and the software stopped at 34% for 2 hours...so I quit the program and unplugged my phone. When I reset the battery, and turned on my phone, there is a weird pc!phone icon and I cant get the phone to work. I am not sure what I should do now... I never rooted the phone or added any custom ROMs to it. And my 1 year warranty is up. Please help and thanks!

You are soft bricked. If none of the methods found here work to get in to dl mode you need a jig. Don't ever use kies.

i can get into dl mode, but i have no clue what to do with it :S

You can send it for warranty since it broke with kies (assuming you don't mod it). Or fix it yourself with ODIN.

is there a guide that I can follow to address this problem?

 

[jmtheiss]

Nope, there are definitely no guides to help on this site.

Thanks for the links, but they didn't really help me with the problem because I wasn't able to follow some of the steps. I can't boot up my phone to put the rom inside the internal drive. I have basically the same problem as this guy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395437. I can go into download mode, but not recovery mode. May you give me a bit more of a guide on where I should start/follow? thanks!

seriously?!

did you bother reading those links?

not one of the 3 required any usage of putting a zip file on the phone, and every one of them is how to recover using download mode

SMFH.......

2. Find a neat-o ROM from Captivate Development Section and get it onto your internal SD card (the one you cant remove) download using phone internet browser or download and copy to phone using PC.

thats from the 3rd link... and the first link were just the ROMs for that...

The 2nd link is telling me to download this APN app(no clue what its for) from the market... I don't want to jump at any steps if I am unsure of any of them...

so what you are saying is that you are incapable of comprehending the DOWNLOAD mode and the ONE CLICKS to get you back to stock so that you could load a rom???


i mean, cmon, you have to learn how to educate yourself a little bit. nobody here is going to hold your fkng hand and spoonfeed you this info....

there is literally a PLETHORA of knowledge on these forums, all you have to do is learn and try to UNDERSTAND what it is telling you to do. Not just blindly follow some tutorial/walkthrough/video that doesnt explain WHAT you are doing.....

this site does not exist as support for stupidity or laziness. it is here to HELP people that are willing to HELP THEMSELVES.....

 

[prbassplayer]

Don't know what is the big issue. You want to go to STOCK not flash a rom. Just follow the instruction of the 3rd link until step 10. Done finish stock. If its a 1 click its even easier. There are a ton of stickies. Flashing can screw up your phone if you don't know what you are doing.



Edit: PirateGhost beat me to it....

if i was a noob, and i just 'bricked' my phone doing something stupid, yes, i would panic. i would search google, which would bring me here to xda and i would search and figure out what i needed to do. this is because i do not need anyone holding my hand for anything. but before discounting anyone's assistance it would behoove me to do a little damn research and by the power of deduction realize what it is EXACTLY that i need to do.....

Okay, so I followed the 3rd guide and I am stuck on step 13 for the odin method. I cannot find a ROM inside Onix Recovery, so can I download any ROM and put it into the EXTERNAL sd card? or does it have to be inside the INTERNAL sd? because I cannot access the internal sd card. Also, is it normal for my phone to have the AT&T World Phone logo at boot? because I am from Rogers...and not AT&T. Will this affect my phone in the future? thanks

You just wanted stock WHY are you using recovery?

Odin doesn't even detect my phone for some reason...normally it would say something when my phone connects or disconnects...

 

[GTFO!]

The phone still wasn't working at that point...

 

[prbassplayer]

Then you are doing something wrong..... Go in to download mode connect to comp with ODIN open and flash the package. Profit.
