Installed cyanogenmod 9 and bricked.

So, the phone worked well with CM9 for a while. Then the guy that owned the device attempted to update it, I'm not sure what went wrong but the fact of the matter is that it kept bootlooping on the CM9 splash screen. Entering into recovery was unresponsive and doing the three button combo to enter into Download Mode was unresponsive.

I followed a guide on here on how to make on my own jig. I successfully made the jig and I am able to enter into Download mode now. However, I am unsure what to do from here. I attempted to use Odin and flash a Corn kernel for the captivate, thinking I'd be able to boot into recovery and then flash a rom from that point. Unfortunately, I am unable to do this. Nothing boots up except the ATT screen now. Maybe there is a failsafe way in getting the phone back to working order?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Have you tried pulling the battery, holding down both volume buttons, and plugging the USB cable in to enter download mode? Once there, try flashing it back to the original state with Odin One-Click or similar. I have bricked and unbricked my phone at least twice, and each time was able to get it to recover by using this method. Hope it works for you. Good luck!

Thanks, it worked. I think I'm on Froyo now, but at least its working. I originally downloaded Odin-one Click but didn't recognize the interface. Thanks!
