Before I startת I tried to find this problem also search on Google and here but could not find any information about this problem.

This night I did not put the device to a charger because he had already 90% battery, so I left it disconnected,in the morning I got up I saw the phone is turn off, I tried to turn the phone light up and the ATT screen turn on,
I went and when I came back after 10 minutes I saw that the phone is still stuck on the "Galaxy S" screen.
I removed battery, changed, and it's still stuck.

I'm running version CM7.1,
The phone can get into the recovery menu.

Can anyone help me?
I do not understand in the android system and I don't have any backups of my pictuers...
Any chance to save the phone?


update: I search for a solution, and found on the CWM the option of "Mount USB storage" and I copied my pictures to my computer...
so now my new question is how can I get the phone to turn on again? only format and install new rom?

I can use CM7.2 zip file and install via the recovery menu?

You won't lose your pictures on the sd card. If you are still stuck, try wiping dalvik cache from recovery

I have a similar problem. Like eidoll32, I did not plug in my cappy and when I went to turn it on the next day, I was only able to get a boot loop at the AT&T screen. Currently, I cannot get into recovery, but only download mode.

I originally rooted the phone with the Galaxy_One_Click_Root tool, and installed CyanogenMod 7.1 for the captivate, when CM7.2 went to RC1, I flashed that from CWM, doing a full wipe. Later I wanted to try ICS, so I flashed AOKP - captivatemtd - M5 b30, doing a full wipe (twice).

That's where I was when this happened, and where I am now.
