Stuck in a boot loop.... no recovery/download mode

[maxyz]

Hey all, just got my Captivate 2 weeks ago and successfully rooted and flashed with custom ROM following the directions on all the posts here. Last night, while attempting to switch from Paragon 3.0 to Phoenix 4.0, installation was aborted. After several unsuccessful recovery attempts through CWM, I finally followed directions and used Odin-one-click. Odin did its thing and phone rebooted immediately and got stuck in a loop.

ATT screen flashes on and off when phone is powered on. When plugged into PC, phone flashes empty battery and computer does not see the phone. I've tried just about every button combination I've come across and about every permutation of button/battery/USB/Odin combination on the PC to no avail.

Is my last resort the USB jig? Or are there other options? Any and all help would be appreciated. And thank you to all of you whose posts I used to get me this far.

Patiently awaiting any assistance......

If you can't get into dl mode a jig will be needed

Have you used odin before?

Do you know your build number

Build number.... inside of the phone I see 1010, REV 0.4

Is that what you were referring to?

Yes and that is what caused your odin problem

Go to radio shack get a package of 100 k ohm resisters. Three twisted together in a tear drop shape. Touch the ends to the last 2 potions prongs closest to the head set jack. I have done this, it works.

Just in case this is how I enter dl mode

Take out sim, ext sd, and bat. In your case leave the bat out for like 10 minutes.
Put bat back in
Hold vol up and down
While holding plug in usb

Not sure if this is how you got into this situation in the first place, but did you disable the lagfix before flashing? If not, it may be what caused this.

Thanks for the quick replies and assistance. The threads above were a revelation, I will try again to get it into download mode before making the jig. Keep your fingers crossed....

Did I disable the lagfix? I believe I did, I at least was cognizant of having to disable the lagfix, but it certainly is a possibility. Thanks for chiming in, appreciate all of it.
