HELP!!!

[MantaZumanity]

Hi Guys.
I was turning on my captivate, and now when I turn it on, it does the AT&T screen, and Galaxy s Screen, and just gets stuck there, and then goes blank.
Help, please,

Probably not a development question.
What did you do to make it do that?

I was trying to flash a rom, and it was taking long and not working,
So I stooped it, and tried turning it back on, and now it won't work.

Use ODIN3 to reflash. And you should post problems in the ROM's thread, not start a new one. And do a lot more reading...

Sounds like a bad flash. Down load the Odin one click JF6 and falsh back to stock. Once the phone boots up, put into USB debugging mode, master clear, root and install CWM. From there just install the ROM you like by following the instructions of the Dev. Hope this helps!

That's the thing, the phone wont boot! It goes to the Galaxy s logo, then goes blank.

You don't get the S screen when you enter download mode. Do you even know how to enter recovery mode or download mode?

Help, please,

FYI-If a flash is taking a long time it usually means it is installing a LagFix option. Dont ever stop an install before it is complete. This will cause the phone to become inoperable until you Odin back to stock.

So, will you guys show me what to do?
I'm sorry I'm such a noob.

Have you read anything about how to flash a rom, or how to use ODIN3, or anything else for that matter?

 

[MantaZumanity]

I know how to use Odin3,
I just don't know how to use it now since my phone is is stuck.
Will someone tell me what to do?

Instructions on how to enter download mode and use ODIN3 are in that thread.

Do this
1) GO to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 . Download I897UCJF6 - Odin3 One-Click Downloader:
http://www.thevod.org/misc/captivate...l-OCD-REV0.rar

2) Shutdown phone. Remove SIM and External SD Card.

3) Run the exe you just downloaded by Right clicking and then selecting "Run as administrator".

4) Put the phone in download mode. See instructions below
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

5) Confirm that the phone is indeed in Download mode. You should see Yellow Triangle

6) Click Start

7) Wait for it to complete. You are now back to stock ROM.

Extra: Flashing to stock ROM will disable your ability to go to recovery/download mode using button combo. Please apply 3 button lagfix

Put your phone back in the box, take it back to AT&T and get an iphail.

What are you talking about? This is massively incorrect. You only lose your 3 buttons ability to enter recovery or download mode depending on your particular phone. i have always had it working, have flashed back to stock countless times, and have never either lost my 3 buttons ability or needed the "3 button fix".

Look under your battery. There is a # on the sticker, i believe beneath the serial #. It is 100x.
1006=fine, no probs.
1007=iffy, some good and some bad.
1008=3button fix REQUIRED almost every time......

I have 1008. I lose 3 button combo everytime I flash to stock. Anyway there is no harm in reapplying it so why not recommend it? I don't want the OP to lose the ability.

Although you are correct that the one-click doesn't kill the button combos on all phones, it does on most batch 1008 phones and maybe all newer phones. It's a good idea to point people to the flasher that you know won't disable the combos, particularly when the person you are trying to help is pretty clueless about how all this stuff works.
