****************EDIT*******************
DISREGARD, I fixed it kind of....
**************************************

So... I believe my samsung cappy is "super" soft bricked. like to the point where there is nothing actually on the phone.

Holding power button + vol up and down for like.. 40 seconds results in

RST_STAT = 0x1
PMIC_IRQ1 = 0x2c
PMIC_IRQ2 = 0x0
PMIC_IRQ3 = 0x0
PMIC_IRQ4 = 0x0
PMIC_STATUS1 = 0xc0
PMIC_STATUS2 = 0x2c



*
My computer sees the phone in this state as "SAMSUNG USB Composite Device" and "SAMSUNG Mobile Modem #3"

Odin sees the phone but doesn't go past "File Analysis" stage.

What do?

First, this is a question, please post in the Q/A section.

Second, there are tons of threads with various combinations / orders of button presses. I can tell you based on you description that you are using the wrong one for Odin. Please use the search function in the forum to find the thread(s) you are looking for.

Also I have to nitpick here. The term bricked means it's literally a brick. Unable to fix, it might as well function as a paperweight now.

I can SORTA stand when people say soft bricked, because you can actually fix it. But "Super soft bricked" is a bit over the top to me.

There is a good chance you are NOT in fact bricked at all.

not an idiot

1) apologies for putting this in the wrong area.

2) i know how to use Odin, and what button combo to use.

3) I realize "bricked" means unusable / beyond repair
a) the phone appears to not have a working copy of Android on it at all.​

4) Impatience sucks. Time to go fool around with the SDK....
