When I try to put my captivate into download mode; holding down the volume buttons, plugging it in whilst the odin3 is running, I just get the battery charging logo, what can I do?

That's what I'm doing, pressing the buttons, then plugging it in..but it still won't work.

if you see the battery charging indicator, you are doing it wrong

there are plenty of guides and FAQs on here.

try pressing the buttons until it comes on IN DOWNLOAD MODE, then plug it in

I spent hours trying all kinds of combos to get this done after doing a Master Clear on a JH7 device . It worked before the Master Clear ended up using the SDK to get the phone into download mode and left a thread on how I did it here..

Worked like a charm and I learned how to use the SDK adb method of doing things
