[Q] having trouble flashing rom into samsung captivate I897
- Thread starter Mr Ashar Majeed
- Start date
What happened before it stopped going in download mode?
Also, did you try with a jig?
i noticed nothing. it just stopped going in download mood at once. i keep holding power button for minutes and it doesn't turn on. may be it ran out of battery juice, I'm charging it now but it is not taking any notice, it's screen is dark, no light what so ever. I remember it used to showe a white and grey WAITING STAR when i put it on charging, now there is nothing. just dark screen
Did you try to flash something else?
a jig is a cut off usb that boost your phone directly in download mode. It can be made with 3x 100k resistors taped together or bought premade.BTW what is a jig?
something else? like what? what should i try to Flash other than stock GB??
Nothing, it was just a question to know if you had attempted something else. Usually you stop getting response from your device when flashing the bootloaders version of a stock ROM and it get interrupted.
Hi, I'm able to put my phone in downloading mood now. Tell me what should i do now. tried heimdal and odin one clicks just now and same result. Odin didn't detect and heimdal says "Kernel failed"
Odin won't work on the same usb port you installed Heimdall.
The only thing left to try would be to manually install stock with Odin 3.07 (not the one-click). I'm not 100% sure where it is anymore on here but I'm sure if you look a bit you'll find it.

Try the Odin One Click again, But use a different usb port from the one you used when trying Heimdall, because heimdall installs its usb driver to the one specific port you are using. Odin uses the Samsung usb drivers.

Did everything as suggested in a post i found while googling, sadly it stopped at KERNEL zIMAGE. what the heck is wrong with this kernel thingy?
It's not the kernel that is the proble. It's that it's not able to write on your phone. Which is why I think your internal sd might be dead. If it's the case, these's nothing that can be done after it except replace the motherboard.
Don't give up
tl;dr
If you are still having trouble with restoring the phone with both Heimdall and Odin I would suggest trying the same from another computer.
OR
I went through a similar situation last month with my cappy after recently resurrecting it. It had been softbricked since back in the summer and I resurrected it using Odin under Win 7 on my laptop in January.
Subsequently I had an experience similar to Asher's regarding not getting past the at&t world phone image. From that, like Ashar Majeed, I was getting a black screen and not even a boot image, for a short period I could not get it into either download or recovery modes. . Searching led me to the same thread referenced earlier by BWolf56 (?) regarding getting into download and recovery modes. It took a number of attempts with several of the methods but I eventually was able to get into download mode.
By this time I no longer had Windows on any of my computers and attempted using Heimdall on a Linux install on the same laptop. I used the UCK44 Heimdall Oneclick and it would stop at varying points, most commonly at the kernel. I then tried using the full Heimdall after decompressing the .tar file and had the same poor results. I came to the same conclusion mentioned on a previous post in this thread. I thought my internal SD was bad.
Before throwing the phone in the trash I changed to my Linux desktop and was able to use the same Oneclick file to successfully restore my cappy. I used the same download of the oneclick, I transferred it to the desktop from the laptop with a thumb drive, so I don't think the laptop grief was due to a bad download of the ROM. Also, like Ashar, I no longer receive an indication that the phone is charging when the screen is off. There is no "star" when the phone is off nor a battery when the phone is in sleep mode.
The phone has been running well as a media device and navigation device for the past several weeks. I am using it with no sim card and leave it in flight mode when not using the GPS. So, don't give up on your cappy, it may still be serviceable.

Thank You for your detailed reply. Surely i'll keep on trying to put back life into my cappy. i bought a Nexus 4 yesterday, and now i'm having trouble Logging into GOOGLE PLAY. it was working fine and all of a sudden it just stopped. A Screen shot is attached. All other wifi related apps are working fine i.e whats app, Chrome etc
Sorted it out. My wifi router had some issues. I reset that and everything is fine now.
