Samsung android phones are normally hard to brick. Flashing wrong file results in partial brick, in which the phone can still get into ‘Download’ mode. If you are the unluckiest on a day and ended up bricking the phone for whatever the reason, here is some relief for you.
This tutorial uses Heimdall One-Click to unbrick soft bricked Samsung Captivate. Follow the step provided to unbrick your Samsung Captivate. Download OneClick.jar.
A developer has come up with a one-click unbrick tool for Samsung android devices that use ODIN for flashing a file. This means virtually all Samsung android phones with Android Éclair and above (with few exceptions that work on Android 1.5 too).
The process is simple. Before you begin, you need to have few things downloaded and installed on your computer. The one-click unbrick tools work on Windows, Linux, and Mac as well. There are problems in the way the tool works on Windows computer, but has no problems on Linux and Mac. The developer is working on the tool to make it more Windows friendly. Anyway, we have developed a workaround for you.
