Hello all,

I have a 1007 build Captivate that I was flashing with Odin one flash. The window seemed unresponsive for quite some time, and I didn't think the phone was doing anything (I'm used to using Odin 3 for my Galaxy S3 which is a very quick and responsive process).

I stupidly closed the window and tried to restart the phone. Now, the good news is my phone goes into Phone---/!\---Computer screen (Firmware upgrade fail ! Try using recovery mode) but no button combinations work (which, as I understand, is because my phone is a 1007 build?). I have tried all the methods here: http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode

The jig I built also does not work. It's made of a USB cable and I have measured (with a multimeter) and tried all combinations of resistance from 296K through to 302K. Each and every resistance combination WILL WORK on my S3. So, I know it is not a bad connection, or a poorly made jig.

Is there anything else I can do? ADB will not recognise the phone (plugging it in will give a USB device added sound) and displays this: *daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found

I'm at a loss. Did I brick my phone that badly, or is it because of the 1007 build?

Thanks for all your help.

The screen that u r seeing as in this post here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33227557...is an alternate download mode screen. Have u tried a different micro usb/usb cable, different usb port on the pc ? And the link that i just attached has more helpful info in it as well if ya wanna check it out.
Once u get Odin to see ur phone with a different cable or port or even different pc, then just treat that screen as a download mode screen and proceed.

Omg. I didn't even try to reflash with Odin. I didn't realize that the /!\ screen was a download screen!

Phone works fine now. Thank you so much!
