I have a Captivate batch 1007. I tried to update via Kies Mini this morning. I installed the drivers from Samsung to my XP computer and everything went fine there. When I attached the phone to the USB cable, my computer found everything and installed the drivers just fine. I enabled debug mode as per Samsung's instruction, and Kies downloaded the files perfectly fine.
When it came time to actually install the update, I get a message that the update can't be installed and to try removing and reinstalling the battery or an emergency recovery. The recovery option always results in getting the same message I just mentioned.
When I power up the phone, all I get if the (cell phone)...!...(PC) icon. If I hold down the volume buttons while reconnecting it to my computer, I get the little road sign of the android guy digging with a shovel and a message "Downloading...Do not turn of target!!!"
I've back up anything important to an external micro SD card.
Is there any way to get my phone functional again? Can I do anything myself or can I take my phone to the local AT&T store? Or do I have a really shiny paperweight?
For what it's worth, my phone was running 2.1.
