You could try opening odin plug in the usb and then immediately press the volume rockers, this is the only way I have ever done it and it worked every time.
Btw make sure you are in usb debugging mode.
odin will only recognize my phone if it is on. like to where i can use it and it doesnt pop up in download mode. can i still use odin if my phone is on
To anyone not familiar with flashing although it is not advised on many tutorials I would recommend backing up everything and store it on your external sd then unmount and remove it. Also i always remove my sim card you cannot be to safe. I have flashed my phone so many times and never had a issue so just take the extra precautions. Remember also, ONE step at a time. Flashing is a joke once you get it down just take your time. Take the initiative and go the extra step. Flash to stock boot it and master reset. Another thing I always do is upgrade my stock flash to jh7 with kies. If you have the ability to do so, do it. Then factory reset again. If it takes you an hour to flash your phone and it is not a brick when your done then it was worth it. Last but not least, it is not the ONLY thing, but pretty much the ONLY way to brick your device to totally screwed is if your usb comes out or your battery falls out during the flash. Take the utmost care to make sure these two things don't happen and you will be fine. I am on this forum all the time and i will help as much as i can also their is always XDA.

Alright this is a stretch but it has worked for others, do a fresh start, reboot your PC shut down your phone. After your PC boots open odin plug in and try again. For some reason it seems to have worked for some people. BTW you are already flashed stock and your phone is good....no issues?
well i was on 2.3b6 but I thought my phone messed up bc it wouldnt read my sim, i put it in the wrong way like a idiot, so I put it back to stock and now i want to get it on 3.02 but I cant get Odin to find my phone or to get my phone in download mode
Tell DG you need it maybe he will work some magic for ya. Although you may be the only one in the captivate galaxy who actually has said they were looking toward to this. I am pretty sure he thinks this is a non issue. But buy him a beer and you may be dialing via Bluetooth by the end of the week.
you wont be able to use odin as it is a EXE. Go to XDA I think i was reading.something about flashing with ubuntu. When I get home tonight i will see if i can find you a link. I primarily use linux but as soon as soon as i started flashing my phone I dual booted my pc with windowz just to make things a little easier, food for thought .
DG is the man. I can not believe how nice this Rom runs. EVERYTHING perfect. My Gps locked inside my house with no wifi assistance in like 4 seconds. I do believe the Rom is smooth due to the lag fix because it is very similar in speed to 238. To be honest I think I may have flashed my last Rom (no not really), If Samsung could have put this out in a descent amount of time I would have been a Samsung fan for life, but DG is going to a new phone and i will be too. As for now we finally have a sweet new phone because that's what it is after this Rom. Awesome job DG.

I had to flash to stock to get it to work. I have been using Cog 3.02 for a few hours now and I feel like a fool not rooting my phone way back when. I was really scared to just because of the chance to "brick" my phone, but its pretty difficult to hard brick this thing. I found out if you do every step very slow and you dont skip anything, you will be just fine.
BTW, does Cog 3.02 cause your phone to have better battery life? I know widgets and stuff play a role and what you do on your phone but overall does it improve battery life?
