You should be able to fix it with this method if your problem is in the following list:

-Samsung captivate stuck on boot screen
-Samsung captivate stuck on semaphore logo

-Samsung captivate white / grey battery charging icon when plugged in.

-Samsung captivate won't make salad

In my case, I've had my captivate on CM10, a ROM failed to install (RemICS-JB v4.0) and the phone got "bricked".

Here is a picture of how it looks like:

It doesn't go anywhere, you can't go to any settings or anything, it just stays there.

"So how do I fix this?"

The first thing you need to do is to take off your sim card and your sd card, also take your battery off as it's the only way to turn off the phone. Then comes some steps.

Step 1:

Download and install the correct USB drivers for your samsung captivate if you are using windows.
Don't know how to use google? here are the links:

Windows (64 bit)
Windows (32 bit)

Step 2:

Download Odin(the One click downloader) (I897UCJF6 - Odin 3)
The links can be found here:

Step 3:

Enter download mode - this can be done by re-inserting the battery, plugging the phone to a cable (do not power on) and press both the  + and - buttons.

When your captivate is in download mode, it should look like this:

Step 4:

Keep your phone plugged into your computer while it's on download mode, and launch Odin

 Let it recognize your device and click on "Start"

 It should give you a bunch of all the mumble jumble you need to know if you want the details. This is the part you go to the kitchen and make coffee while waiting for it to finish.

When it's done, it should tell you "PASS!"

Your phone will reboot afterwards, then go to some sort of self configuration from the recovery mode and reboot again, it might reboot a few times but just wait for it to finish.

There you have it!
The phone should be fully working again and will be back to the old android you had.

I hope this worked for you and have a nice day sir.
