My Phone: Stock Eclair 2.1 JH7 update Build 1006
(amazingly no GPS or shutdown issues)
Rooted
Voodoo Lagfix
That's It.
I read alot on here about upgrading to Froyo, regarding having to un-root and stopping lag fix. I could not figure out how to stop lagfix, which I figured I had to be rooted to do so, so I just didn't un-root either. So my mistake I just said F-It and started Kies Mini and plugged in my phone. My firmware updated and my phone rebooted, however it gets to the Galaxy S screen, and instead of booting up my screen goes black and nothing happens, like it shuts off. So, what should I do from here, as this is my only phone, and I don't have readily available access to a computer.
get to the download mode and reflash to stock using odin.
well that's what I was thinking of doing, however. it seems I can only boot into recovery mode. Vol. Down button and Power button. The three button combo seems to do nothing for me, don't know why. So how do I get into Download mode? My first phone WAS the three button combo.

the key combo may not work on certain build phone. if it happens to your phone, you have to build a jig yourself or buy one (i can send you one, PM me).

Well I sure do appreciate that offer. Vol. Up & Vol. Down button with ODIN open and Then plugging in USB got me to download mode. heh I pushed Master Clear, so we'll see what happens.
THANKS!
I figured that out right before you posted it! you Canadians are alright. lol
I would give you a thanks, but I can't find the button for you!

Been about 15 mins since hitting Master Clear phone still says Downloading... Do not turn off target. I forget, having only flashed once to the leaked, does it usually take this long?

you cannot be in the download mode if you just want to do a master clear. boot the phone normally, enable the debug mode and do the master clear using odin there.
No it shouldn't. Another thing that helped was to install the driver package that is included in the Original Post for 1-click. If that still doesn't work after 5 or so minutes, unplug and try again, but this time just go for the ROM flash. You should see the blue status bar moving on the phone. I had the same issue. This took me a few tries.
well odin now says Removed! like i'm supposed to celebrate. phone still says downloading.. lol I guess I should have hit START instead.
Thanks so much clemmie. phone is back to stock you can master clear in download mode, just takes 20 mins. lol I hit start instead and it put me back to the stock jf6. now time to get froyo wee! thanks alot guys, thread can be closed and deleted if you would like.

Recently tried to flash from JF6 to JH3 and failed. It's now stuck at the phone ! computer screen.
Here's what I've tried so far starting with all the pull sd,sim,batt out and put battery back in:
1. Hold both vol up and down, then plug in usb.
2. Hold both vol up and down, then plug in usb, and then hold power. Let it flash on and off until I get to the 2nd blank screen, then release power.
3. Hold vol up and power, then plug in usb. Let it flash on and off until 2nd blank screen, then release power.
Holding down and power doesn't make the phone!computer flash at all.
I'm really at a loss now. No idea how to get back into download mode... I wasn't able to use the key combos to do it before; just used adb.
Any tips? Help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I've always done after turning off the phone:
1. Plug in USB
2. Hold volume up + down
3. Press and hold power until it turns off for second time then let go (although it's worked for me on the first time it goes off)
Worked every single time for me.

Doesn't seem to work for me... anything else you can think of?
Have you tied to Flash it with Odin back to stock? Always flash back to stock before flashing. Every thread starts with the same instructions, flash back to stock first. Not to kick you when you're down.
I'd flash back to stock with Odin.

He wouldn't be able to flash without getting into download mode now would he?
op: Make sure that odin is open and ready on your computer. if that doesn't work then i hate to say it but...
Looks like I've got an expensive paperweight? Luckily for me I got it yesterday...
Stupidly enough though, I probably should have returned it in the first place. It wasn't working quite right... I've never seen a phone not respond to button combos or have problems connecting to a computer via USB and I've owned my share of Samsungs. Each boot into their own recovery mode just fine via buttons... guess I won the lottery?
If anyone has some ridiculously convoluted way to get into download mode, I'd be glad to try it.
Did a bit of snooping...

It seems there are a fair amount of phones with disabled button combos...
when i flashed to jh3, i found doing the adb reboot download the easiest way to get into download, even when i messed up my phone and it would boot to galaxy s screen and it would get stuck. Found plugging it in via usb and then running the adb command
Ah... I see. Well, considering I can't get it to recognize it or anything... it's pretty much fubar. I tried my sister's captivate and it boots into download mode just fine with both vol + plug in usb.. so I assume I just had a defective unit that became more defective.
Thanks for the help all, and let's just have this be a lesson to anybody who wants to know, if you follow the instructions on the odin thread and you can't get in, either you're doing something wrong or the phone is wrong...
And adb never hurt anybody.
Thanks again everybody.

I just exchanged a Captivate for shutting down by itself, got one that can't three button reboot, accidentally bricked it and couldn't recover it. Exchanged it for yet another one that also can't three button reboot. Uggh!
This might not be bricked, but if it isn't it must be as close as it can get. I flashed my phone back to stock 2.1 yesterday, and today when I tried to flash to cognition 8.1 it got stuck on "<ID:0/005> boot.bin" for a half hour. I unplugged it, and now my phone is stuck on the picture in the attachment.
- I can't get my computer to even pick it up with USB. Nothing happens at all.
- The only time it turns off is when I hold power, volume up, and volume down. Even then, it immediately boots right back into that picture. Nothing else happens.
- I can't get into download mode.
- When I remove the battery, it goes right back to this screen.
What can I do?
Happened to me earlier.
Do the following to get into download mode:
1) take out battery
2) put in battery
3) hold the vol up and vol down keys, then plug in the USB cord.
It will boot into download mode. Then try do what you were doing.

This hasn't worked before, but I went ahead and tried it again. It still just goes straight to the black screen with that picture in the center.
Hmm.
Well, I'm sure one of the 3 methods posted in the odin3 thread, on how to get to download mode, should work.
For me, it was the volume up and down buttons together, then plugging in the usb. It would turn on automatically and go straight to download mode.
None of the ones from this thread work:

Look under your battery below the serial numder of you phone and see if your batch is 1008. If it is those batches don't go into download mode. Send your phone in for waranty repair.

I don't see 1008 at all. I've booted into download mode before, even using the three button combo, I just can't now.
Would AT&T even cover this? Will they know I was tampering with stuff I shouldn't have?
Have you tried running Odin as administrator? Uninstall and reinstall the drivers for Odin. Keep trying, remove SIM, battery and external, hold the volume buttons only and plug phone in, keep trying, it should work. Blame the OTA for the "brick" and send it for warranty if you can't get Odin to work.

You know its interesting to see how many times I see people tell you to pull the battery, sim etc. Maybe I'm just lucky, but when I put my phone into download mode I power it off, open odin on my pc, hold down the volume buttons but NOT the power button and plug in the micro usb cable. Works everytime for me even with the PC /!\ Phone screen.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice, kept rebooting and removing my SIM and battery (no SD), changed USB ports, made sure each USB port works... Nothing has worked.
EDIT: The drivers I used were from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Man, I'm not sure.
Either you're doing the button combo wrong.. since you said it worked before, or you're gonna have to send it in for warranty.
Remember don't press the power button. Just hold the volume up, volume down button, and plug in the usb cable
I'm about to go to AT&T for an exchange. Wish me luck.
In the meantime, though, what's the easiest, least-risk of screwing up way to get a brand new captivate on cognition 8.1 with the z4mod?
I would say wait until the CW issues are worked out with BETA9 and just CW flash it. I've bricked two batch 1008 Captivates from Odin freezing mid-flash today. I even flashed DG's 3ButtonFix first, to make sure I'd be able to do a button combo to get back into download mode, and no dice.

Wow that's interesting. I also have a batch 1008 and when I flash with odin it's fine. But after every time I flash to stock jf6 I lose 3 button combo and just reinstall the fix zip using clockwork. Download mode using both volume keys then plug in usb always works for me though even without the fix.

Hi
I tried to remove Bejeweled using a program I downloaded (I can't remember the name). It said it would reboot twice, but it seemed to have frozen after the first reboot, so I pulled the battery.
Now, every time I try to turn the phone on, it goes into ClockworkMod 2.5.1.0 and stays there. None of the buttons do anything at all, so I can't get to any of the options.
Samsung Kies and Odin 3 don't seem to recognise the phone when I plug it in by USB and I can't find any button combinations that stop it going to ClockworkMod.
I only got the phone a few days ago, so I'm not sure if I can send it back and claim the Froyo update on Kies broke it. I would prefer to fix it myself though. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
So can you get into download mode or not?
No, I can't get to anything other than clockworkmod, and that freezes.
When I plug the usb lead in, it turns on without pressing the power button, but still freezes at clockworkmod. Hope that helps.

GOOD
What you want to do is, pull battery out, put it back in, Hold volume down and Home button, THEN put in the usb lead, That should put you into download mode, then you can flash thru odin
Pull ur battery so phone is completely dark hold the 3 button combo for the download mode the phone should power in download mode or last option is get a jig for a pound on ebay

Thanks for your help. When I tried azzledazzle's solution, it went to frozen clockworkmod again, but the Galaxy S screen at the start doesn't show. Also, my version has never responded to any key combos, even when it worked.
I have attached a picture of what Odin shows when I put the USB lead in. Not sure if I can do anything with it. By the way, I've never used Odin before so I don't know if there are any settings I need to change.
I'll order one of those 'jigs' but hopefully I can get it fixed before that arrives.
you have selected 512 pit, but you havent ticked re-partition, that is whats causing your problem.
you say your phone never responded to button combo's. does that mean you have never been in download mode ??
The 'jig' has arrived and put me straight into download mode! Definitely recommended for anyone who can't use the three button combos. I have used a new rom with the 512 pit and repartition unchecked, and Android 2.2.1 installed fine. This also solved the button combo problem.
In reply to azzledazzle, the only time I saw download mode before the jig arrived was when Kies mucked up an update.
ok guys i'm definitely a noob at this but i think i messed up this morning downloading the gb drivers for my captivate. i was running serendipity 6.4 and i was trying to flash serendipity VII. i didn't flash back to stock 2.1 eclair with odin one click before i followed the instructions on downloading the new drivers for the gb. i went to the power menu on the 6.4 and hit download mode and plugged in the usb. it went halfway through the downloading process and stopped. my screen was blank without the downloading sign anymore and on odin it was at a halt. i waited for about 45 minutes for it to proceed and nothing so i unplugged it. when i did the factory recovery screen came up and i could use the volume up and down buttons to scroll through the menu choices but it wouldn't let me use the power button to make a selection at all like the power button wasn't working. i pulled the battery and put it back in after a while and now all i get is the galaxy s gt-i9000 samsung screen and nothing else. it wont let me back into recovery or download mode no matter what button combo i try. did i brick my phone and is there a way for me to fix this without having to buy another one? any help would be greatly appreciated.( guys, i realized i messed up shortly after it was done and messed up that i should've odin one clicked it back to factory before i did this,but by that time it was too late.)
When a problem comes along, you must jig it!
You might want to look into buying/making a jig to get you to a place where you can repair your phone.
ok guys,the phone will let me get back into the recovery menu and but won't let me make a selection out of the menu with the power button and i still get the galaxy s screen but nothing else.
Please use more descriptive thread titles. Your title is useless to anyone doing a search.

Could you please quote/reply to these steps to getting into download mode?
From powered-off state, Hold V+/V-, insert USB cable
With battery out, Hold V+/V-, insert USB cable
From powered-off state, Hold V-, press & hold power button
If you haven't tried this combo yet, try using the home softkey in place of the power button with some of these combos - there have been reports of the power button getting remapped to the home softkey.
i apologize for the wrong topic but i have tried every way possible that is listed on xda and other forums to get into download mode with no luck. the only way i could is from the menu's on the roms that i had flashed before( cognition 4.5.3 and serendipity 6.4). i got it to work one time with the hold the vol. up and down buttons and the power button and inserting the battery and it never worked again. all i get is the charging symbol now,the galaxy s screen, or recovery screen. i did get it back into recovery and i tried the home soft button and nothing. then i hit the menu soft button and now it shows the android man and the exclamation point in the triangle. what can i do guys???

Just out of curiosity, when you're at the android man/exclamation screen, if you have odin up already and plug in the phone, does it recognize that the phone's attached?
If so, you might be able to use the odin one-click to get back to stock eclair.
i will try that and get back to you. hopefully it will work.
no sir. i plugged it in and the computer lets me know that i plugged in the usb but nothing registers on odin or the phone.

Hmm... I've reached the end of things I know to say to try. I'm assuming you've tried changing which port you're plugging your phone into on the computer?
Also, have you tried using adb to reboot to download? If not, get adb and use the "adb reboot download" command (I think...) to see if that gets you there. You may need to be in the recovery menu (if you can get back there), or the exclamation point / android guy might work, too.
Although, if you can get back to recovery, you might be able to mount your phone to the computer, drop a copy of CWM on there and reinstall that so you can have more options available to you.
Your best bet at this point might be to buy or build a jig. That should hopefully make the phone go into download mode so that you can get to where you need to be.
ok, now i'm a little confused. i've been sitting here with my phone in my pocket not messing with it. i pull it out of my pocket and it was off. i held the down volume button and the power button at the same time and it immediately started showing download mode. now i'm not near my computer with odin on it to flash it back to stock. lolol. this is depressing. now all i can hope is i can make it back to my computer before my battery runs out. i say this because my phone has always been hard to use the button combos to get it into download mode.
if i can get odin to flash it back to stock,i'll master clear it. question is should i root it again before flashing the GB bootloaders to install serendipity VII?

Good to hear there's a glimmer of hope. If you do manage to get there, you might want to make an EFS backup before moving any further, just so you have one more tool in your arsenal of preventing phone problems.
After reading this whole thread I think your problem is that you now have gingerbread bootoaders and your button combos have changed and you don't know it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
i think you may be right about having the GB bootloaders. now first question is how to i manage to make an efs back up? secondly, if i have the GB bootloaders then what do i do to flash the complete serendiptiy VII onto the phone? the reason why i ask is because the phone just quit downloading the flash in the middle of the download and that's when all hell broke loose. lolol. but you guys are right. i might just have a glimmer of hope.
If you do have the GB bootloaders, you should (theoretically) be able to get to download mode with the volume - & power button combination. This may take a little fiddling to find a timing after you've started the phone to find out when you can get to it.
As far as flashing Serendipity, you could try, but my advice would be to try and get to stock Eclair first and then go forwards. You're in a place with a lot of variables, and stock Eclair would be as variable-free as you're likely to get.
As far as backing up the EFS, under the CWM recovery menu, there's an option to make a nandroid backup. That's step 1. Once you've made the backup, just copy it from the clockworkmod folder to a safe place.
well i've got an update now. got everything back to factory 2.1 eclair and then i did a master reset in the phone because now i can't get into the recovery menu or the download menu and one click root will not work on my phone now at all. it keeps saying failed.

+1 on the jig...odin is very finicky and a jig will get you to download mode when you need it most...
buy or make one...worth every penny.
I had Cognition 4 flashed but had a problem that whenever the battery was removed when the phone was on, about half of my apps, wifi, and texting would force close on reboot and never be able to open until I reflashed Cogntion. Because of this, I decided to try Serendipity VII. I put the zip file on my phone, rebooted into recovery, then tried to do the same thing that I did for Cognition. When I did this it said that it was installing, then said install complete without rebooting. I decided to reboot the phone, and when I tried, it keeps looping on the att screen. I do not see the battery charge signal when I plug it in. I see a loading gear for the battery for about five seconds, then the screen has electric looking blue lines flash through the center and then nothing. I cannot boot into recovery or download, it just keeps looping on the ATT screen.

How do I force it into download mode?
So you tried flashing a GB rom without first flashing GB bootloaders?
You should have read and followed the installation instructions on the Serendipity download page. Start Odin one click,see if you can get phone into download mode by any combo and see if Odin sees it. Flash stock and start again.

Thanks for all the help, I will be buying a jig from amazon for about ten bucks. I hope this works. But if it doesn't, at least this will teach me to read instructions before doing something that I don't understand very well.
to get into download mode press volume down instead of volume up to get u into recovery, at first i screwed up too somewhat like you so what i did is removed the battery for a minute, put it back in press volume down middle and power button to get into download then use odin to flash a new 2.3.4 gingerbread that u can get from this forum just look through and ull find it, make sure u put the pit file phone file, pda and csc files and make sure u check the repartition auto reboot and freset time checked on then press start hope it helped

Sir try this one last thing, remove your USB Cable from your PC, remove your battery...
While holding down both (Up and Down) volume buttons, insert the battery and THEN connect your phone to your PC through USB, see if this puts it into Download mode.
If not, try doing the same just holding down the DOWN volume button. Hope this helps, it seems as if these combinations kind of vary from phone to phone. Cheers

I tried this and all it did was do the att loop screen thing. Also, my computer dinged that it saw a usb device being plugged in, but then the restart loop restarts the phone and continues this indefinitely. Thanks for the help anyway.
You don't need to buy a jig, just go do that thing where you get three (or four) resistors in series that totals 301k ohms and touch them to specific contacts in the usb port of your phone... look it up on xda, it's worked for most people.

Thanks, but I already screwed up my phone by doing something that I did not fully understand, it's a small wonder that I can use Linux and not be too confused. I think I will take the easy way out with this one.
Hmm I remember that often when I tried to put my phone into recovery mode or download, whenever I held the Power Button down, it would just keep looping. When you but the battery on and connect your phone, make sure you are not holding the Power button, just the volume ones. Perhaps it is your case?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It loops if whether or not I hold any buttons down. If I hold the power button down while trying to get into download mode, then it just turns it off.
Turn off the phone, remove the battery, get a stock odin one click for the captivate.
I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 seems to be a reliable flash when I run into trouble.
Start odin, plug the phone into the USB cable, hold the volume up/down key or try any combination up/down or both. Insert the battery and hopefully it will go into download mode.
Been reliable so far...
Hi. I'm unable to get into recovery mode after I flashed the Talon kernel as per the instructions here.
http://www.team-continuum.net/forum...ses/(guide)general-installation-instructions/
I'm consistently able to get into download mode and reflashed the talon 0.1.2 kernel as per the instructions there, but still to no avail. Any other suggestions to get my phone into CWM ?
Im trying to flash Continuum 6
Might as well get the Jig easy Download mode xD. I made mine myself cost a whole $2.50 for one xD
