I have an AT&T Captivate, I successfully installed ICS ROM using internal SD card method, but then I decided to go back to GB through a backup that I made before I install ICS, when I tried to restore a backup using CMW recovery, some kind of error appeared after I have formatted the phone.

after I restart the phone it seems that there's no rom installed and the phone won't start I can't even get to the recovery mode the screen becomes white and the phone get very hot but nothing else.

I tried to get a new software using odin but then I remembered that I used to have a usb issue the usb port wasn't welded in place in the right way so the phone was charging but not recognized by the computer so I think the power legs are welded correctly but the data legs aren't.

I took the phone to a person who can make this welding good but then he told me that one of the usb welding pads on the motherboard are missing and that he can't weld it and he need something like a blueprint or a map for the board to but a wire instead of that missing pad.


so I'm asking, is there any way to install a software that doesn't need a USB connection and if not is there a place where I can find this map for the motherboard??????



plzzzz help guys

I once had my Cappy seemingly hard bricked, black screen and nothing else. I was able to use one of the alternate methods of getting into Download / Recovery Modes to reflash the phone. See -- Captivate - PC Connection Issues, Download Mode and Recovery Mode Help I used one of the methods where I pulled the battery, and then held a button combo while I replaced the battery.

It sounds like you have a custom recovery, either CWM or TWRP. If so, you may be able to put a ROM on the external_SD using your PC. Once you have done so put the microSD back in the phone and see if you can flash from recovery.
