Help Flashed Samsung Captivate

FakeAwake

Newbie
I was trying to root my Samsung Galaxy S (AT&T SGh-i897) after the gingerbread update and the second part failed so I ended up with a semi bricked Phone, I used well can't honestly remember what I used due to using various programs to try to fix it. But after the failed root, I believe I was stuck in the semi-bricked state which I followed the directions on how to fix and decided to try out Cyanogenmod. I followed the Cyanogen instructions via the wiki page but failed to notice that the mod was supposed to be put on the internal SD card and not the External SD card so after Clockwork recovery install and flash I am now stuck a flashed phone that can only go from Clockwork recovery and download mode and the stock flashed start black samsung screen. (I've already bought a replacement and am waiting till my upgrade before I try the mod on the soon to be old phone)

So my question is what can I do with this now useless phone, I have been trying to figure out how to get it to work, installing a a mod or at least trying to get it back to stock eclair or froyo and go from there. I've tried following the instructions on how to push a room using ADB but it keeps telling me that I don't have root.
 
you could try to sbf the phone single binary framefile stock image in a nutshell, though i have only done this with the galaxy nexus and Droid X so i do not
know now if it would work on your phone? should

This is the third time I've seen you suggest an .sbf (applicable only to Motorola devices) as a solution to non-Motorola owners. :(

Please, if you're not sure of what you're advising then don't suggest it. The wrong advice flashing could easily brick somebody's handset.
 
So as of now, the phone will not turn on or will it charge when plugged in. I've placed an order for a jig, hope it will get it to go into download mode, if not then my toddler gets a phone paperweight to play with...
