Odin finished sucessfully, phone won't turn on

[AdamOutler]

I run windows XP in a virtual machine on my Ubuntu 10.10 box. I was using I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears.exe to reset my Captivate to stock 2.2 form in order to get an idea of how to run the update process from 2.2.

Here is the log

The phone will not turn on now. If it is turning on, then it is simply a black, unlit screen. Would a jig be worth a try or would I be wasting my time?

 

[AdamOutler]

The definitive answer to "can I unbrick a Captivate with a jig?" is no. Jigs are worthless unless you have a phone without 3 button fix.

I have 2 captivates here. My wife's phone responds to my jig and my phone does not. This is ridiculous. So, now all you guys can punk those guys who respond with "try a jig".

JIGS ARE WORTHLESS EXCEPT WITH MODEL 1008 AND LOWER PHONES. Almost every phone comes with 3 button fix.

 

[venomio]

Right. So I'm guessing your phone is 1010 or higher?

It should be made more aware, but I'm pretty sure it's been said somewhere that the two ODIN one-click programs that are running around don't work with any models that are 1010 or higher...

 

[AdamOutler]

first jig lies, now this.

I have a 1012. What do you use on a 1012? I've used ODIN several times. I got to thinking that this time I did something different.

I think it was one of the following
1. I had AIO Captivate Toolbox idling on my virtual machine. http://files.teamkomin.com/aio-captivate-tool/Install AIO Captivate Toolbox 3.0.msi

2. I executed a lsusb command in Linux outside the virtual machine during the flash.

Both of those actions seem pretty dossile. I would not expect either to do anything to the flash. However, AIO Captivate toolbox may be polling for status or something in a hositle way which caused a miscommunication.

 

[AdamOutler]

venomio, where did you get that information?

 

[zelendel]

I have a 1011 buld and my jig has worked without issue and yes my 3 button does work as well. First things I tested when I got it. It came loaded with 2.2 and I used odin one click that I have had for a while that put me back to 2.1 jf6 , was worried but went off without a hitch.

I just had the same problem. I actually just made a post, but I didn't get the successful from odin. It ws a 1012, and 3 button had always worked before. I'm open to ideas

so are your phones unable to get into download mode at all? I've seen that somewhere about not using Odin oneclick on 1010 or higher but it hasn't been a problem for me the many times I've used Odin. Only oneclick I've used is jf6 though.

lots and lots of theroys

The 1010 and up are unable to use the JF6 one click, regardless of three button fix or not.
I am not sure about the JI6 coming from gingerbread. I used it on a 1010, and it worked fine coming from eclair w/ no bootloader swap. also, i used the one click. From the log you provided it looks like you used full ODIN3 (hopefully that strike worked)

I would say that it was the fact you had ran the command in linux, it may have confused the data cord and have something "tangled" data wise or the 1012 build, although I thought it was only JF6 one click. I need to research more before i brick my 1012.
I remember talking to Team PHX on their IRC and they were talking about these 1010 and up not working with JF6 and one of them said they were pointing people at the JI6 one-click so i believe its compatible.

Although I'm going to stick to my theroy of data getting tangled up.

I wouldnt say it was AIO because it was just running like a background task, nothing more, nothing less.

Oh wait! If you read more you will recieve twice the amount of me thinking!
I have another theroy! Phew, Lots of ideas, little time. well, lots of time Dang, forgot what i was going to say....I'll edit this once i remember OH! the log says cache.rfs twice. could that have been a problem? I wouldnt think so, but may cause a bad flash.

So, this would be a good time to call up connexion (or however you spell that)
Or mobiletechvideos, although im sure its the same guy.

Alright, now the evidence is piling up.
right now the score is
2 for 1010 and up problem
and 2 for a linux command problem.
Time to see if i can use my detective skillZ to figure this out. MORE RESEARCH!

 

[jferg5]

I have used the same jf6 one click many times on this phone with no problem. I didn't notice the double during the flash. It really just stuck at reset. I'm clueless a to why after 10 plus flashes it did it

i have 1011 version..
and i hav used oneclick to go back to jf6 many times..and no problem...so i think ppl r just assuming that it wont work on some 1008 or 1012 and higher...

and i m not taht experienced..but seein the log i m just wondering if sbl.bin did mess up with ur booloaders..

I think one click does not repartition

Yeah... don't get me wrong... I had a 10.10 that worked fine with Odin until one day it went kablooey on one-click.

i read some posts about odin one-click issue cause i had exactly the same issue after jf6 odin so i had to made usb jig then flashed ji6 to fix it.

This is what i figured out so far.
If your device's build number is 1010 or higher and froyo preinstalled (kb1, kb2) from factory, you can't use jf6 one click. It will cause boot loop and won't able to get into download mode with key combo. U need to use usb jig like me to fix it. Use FROYO one click instead.

Maybe build numbers don't matter but the froyo from factory cause the problem.. i guess..
