[Q] Samsung Captivate phone is dead, not showing AT & T screen, download mode screen

Hi,

I was trying to install new ROM through Odin software. I tried with Odin3 one click downloader. I also tried using KI2 with Boog's Kernel odin software. but both are failing. Shows FAIL with following output -

<ID:0/016> Added!!
<ID:0/016> Odin v.3 engine (ID:16)..
<ID:0/016> File analysis..
<ID:0/016> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/016> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/016> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/016> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/016> Sbl.bin
<ID:0/016>
<ID:0/016>
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)..

Another problem is that for my Samsung Captivate mobile... Download mode screen stopped coming ( I think it happened when by mistake I updated mobile's bootloader with some Corn s/w bootloader by selecting the file in Bootloader field in Odin. It created a big problem for me. I couldn't go in to download mode after this.

So finally I purchased USB jig to enable Download mode (last option to make mobile in download mode).
Even though I can update the firmware using Jig. But still download mode screen is not coming.But when I connect mobile to computer with usb cable, after using USB jig, I could see that odin shows "ADDED" with yellow box showing some port no. Above output comes when i continue with installing tar/md5 file of ROM with Odin. but it fails. So i am unable to use my mobile... :(.

It worked when I updated ROM with following package - GT_I9000_ZSJPK_ZSJPG_OZSJPG. It contains PDA, PHONE and CSC files.
First I did partition with file s1 odin 20100512.pit and after that I selected these three files in corresponding fields in Odin software and clicked on start button. It worked and i could see FROYO installed in my captivate phone. But this ROM update is for I9000 mobile. so all functionality is not working properly. what i mean to say here that I can update mobile with I9000 ROM. but not with captivate ROM.

My mobile's situation is that it has no software installed. Just as a hardware. No Bootloader, Nothing. Even AT & T screen doesnt come when I start my mobile. It is totally dead.

Can anybody please help me ? how can I resolve this problem. I searched all the thread in forum. But it is not helping me to resolve my problem. :(.

Issues are -

AT & T screen is not coming when i start the phone.
Download mode screen is not coming when i start the phone.
Just Assume that I have captivate phone without partition, without bootloader ... :(


Can anybody please help ?

Here's what you need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3

Grab Odin KK4 with bootloaders from that thread. That should get your phone back up. If you wanna get farther and flash a custom ROM, follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266

Re: [Q] Samsung Captivate phone is dead, not showing AT & T screen, download mode scr

Try a different micro usb/usb cable. And also a different usb port if the different cable doesn't work.

And if that fails...some Captivates don't like One Clicks, so see my post here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30840818


Then use the [Utility]KK4 Easy Root by Red_81 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26710533 to get Root and KK4 Corn Kernel that has CWM Recovery...if u want.

Hi,

I followed the steps written in the forum above. But that is not working my case. I tried the steps in different computer with diff OS installed. but still same problem.
Is there any way to get PHONE, PDA, CSC file separately for i897 ? I could install I9000 in my samsung captivate mobile which had these files. So just thought, if i can get these files for i897, probably it should work?

Any Idea where i can get these files?

Hi,

Still my problem is same. I went through the link. but that is also not helping.

In my phone, I cant see download screen, even though if i use USB jig.
When I run Odin s/w, I can see in odin as port "Added" when Connect my mobile with computer using usb port.
Usually Odin show port added when u are in download mode. But here in my case, when i first USB jig and then connect to computer, download mode screen message and image doesnt come. it shows nothing(like no display). But I can see , Odin shows port Added. and I could update kernel, do partitions etc. But when I select Image file as PDA. and click start. It always fails.
Is it happening because i cant see download mode screen ?

1. What firmware I need to install and how which contains code for showing download screen ?

2. Or can anybody provide me all files i.e. PIT, Bootloader, PDA, Phone, CSC for odin so that i can select all files in respective fields under Odin software and start update?

Please help.

One more thing i have noticed.. here is the output of odin when i update my mobile with following files of I9000 model. while trying images for my captivate mobile, I found a zip file for model GT I9000 and package name was -GT_I9000_ZSJPK_ZSJPG_OZSJPG. It had three files as - 1. CSC_OZSJPG.tar.md5. 2. PDA_ZSJPK.tar.md5. 3. PHONE_ZSJPG.tar.md5.

I selected this files in corresponding PHONE, CSC, PDA fields in odin and it updates phone successfully with the following output -

<ID:0/017> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> PDA_ZSJPK.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> PHONE_ZSJPG.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> CSC_OZSJPG.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/017> Odin v.3 engine (ID:17)..

<ID:0/017> cache.rfs

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
<ID:0/018> Added!!
<ID:0/018> Removed!!
<ID:0/019> Added!!


But even though i can see my phone with I9000 model image installed. but most of the operations it doesnt work. might be becoz image is not fully compatible with Captivate model. so no use. :(

You should always be able to see the download screen no matter what fw you're on. I could see it on 2.3.5, 4.2.2, etc. Even with a jig you can't force it into download mode? Did you make it or buy it?

I purchased a jig for samsung captivate from ebay website. when I tried with it, It doesnt show me downlaod mode screen. But it make my mobile able to connect to system. And I can see the port as added in odin. using that only I have installed android froyo of GT I9000 model in captivate mobile. I tried with all the PDA files available in forums here, but it didnt work.

Presesnt situation is, I am using captivate mobile which have android version of GT 9000 model. As I mentioned in the post.

Yes. As i Said. I am running Android version of GT 9000 on my Samsung Captivate model and it is working fine(except some cases e.g. screen orientation while running games and some other apps, Media sound doesnt come etc).

I think it meant something along the lines of ''What is showing on your screen while in download mode''?

Hi,

when i usb jig and after that connect to system. I can see port Added in Odin software. which ideally happens when mobile is in downlaod mode.

but here for me display doesnt show anything on screen, screen remain blank. No android icon comes. but still I can see port added in odin and also can install files in the mobile. like pit, bootloader PDA files. etc.

I have tried my image files which is available with bootloaders in forum. But when I start. I always get following error.

<ID:0/016> Added!!
<ID:0/016> Odin v.3 engine (ID:16)..
<ID:0/016> File analysis..
<ID:0/016> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/016> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/016> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/016> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/016> Sbl.bin
<ID:0/016>
<ID:0/016>
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)..



It always fails while executing sbl.bin files. I have gone through some forum where reports similar issue of sbl.bin.
Resolution which was given is to try with " 4 part flash files" which is Boot, PDA, Modem, CSC files.

http://www.droidevelopers.com/f299/14467-sbl-bin-error.html.

But this solution is not for captivate mobile.

It would be good if someone can provide me these files instead of a single installable file.

Here is the i897uckf1 gingerbread 2.3.3 files...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30840818...Post #284 in that thread.
Do not put any files in the Bootloader tab of Odin. Just PDA in pda tab, CSC in csc tab, PHONE in phone tab and also Pit file in the pit tab. Be sure to have a reliable usb/micro usb and constant power source. This firmware does contain the Bootloaders.

Thanks a lot for providing me these files. This is what I wanted. I will try as you suggested and will let you know the result.

Thanks :)
