My captivate won't fully boot anymore. I've tried the reinstall packages in the recovery menu with no luck. I've also tried the delete cache data. Still the same result. I sadly have phone numbers in the phone memory I need badly. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

 

Is there any way to reflash without loosing the phone numbers?

 

They didn't sync with google...and most of the numbers were saved to the phone memory because I was running out of space on the sim. Oh well. Lesson learned...

 

I'm not sure what happened with the syncing....
However...I can't get the phone into download mode by holding the vol up and down plus power until the att screen comes on.
I CAN get it into recovery mode but not sure what to do from there.
I downloaded odin and try plugging it in when in recovery mode but odin doesn't recognize the phone. Any suggestions?

 

UPDATE...got the phone into download mode. I was using an aftermarket usb cord that wouldn't work. Tried the one that came with the captivate and now it works. Gonna try cognition now.
