[Q] Download/Recovery mode not working !! Help !! :( - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone is not going in either of the download / recovery mode. I tried many times. Both 'Vol up + home + power' and 'Vol down + home + power'. But the phone runs in infinite boot loop until i release the power button, after which it starts normally.
May be i should try this . But as per what i found in google search is that the 3 button issue was only in 2.1(Eclair). And mine is already on 2.2 (Froyo) which i updated officially through kies. So has it been disabled intentionally or the bootloader is buggy version which i need to update using this guide ??

try to hold the power button for 4 seconds exactly. Release it just when the logo screen disappears. Sometimes if I hold it too long, it doesn;t work.
Also, if your phone is working, try an app like QuickBoot that will take you into those modes automatically.

For some people have problems getting in to download mode, try volume down home and power it worked for me.

Download mode is Volume down not up .

I tried it, its not working. I release the power button exactly when the boot logo disappears. Then the phone boots again (boot logo is displayed again) and phone starts normally.
Also app like QuickBoot is not much helpful as i'm thinking of flashing through ODIN and i need both the modes working before starting the flash procedure !!

Yeah i have tried factory reset. And i dont want to use the USB jig just now. USB jig is for emergency i suppose and u can only go into download mode and not recovery mode. I want download mode and recovery mode running normally. My question is that, i it possible that these two modes are disabled as mine is 3 UK branded phone ?? Should I try this ??

[Solved] Galaxy death after Froyo Flash

Hi to all,
i used this way to enter the download modus http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765703
it was the first time i could enter this modus. Then i tried to flash JPC firmware with odin. Something went wrong. Now my phone boots up (the animated "S" with sound), vibrate and the screen went black.
The touch controls working fine but the screen is still black and the phone vibrates sometimes.
Unfortunally i reach not the download or recovery modus.
What can i do, please help!
kind regards
srkonus
you have to get into the download mode
if you can not get into the download mode
then you are stuck
you can try to be lucky and see if you can reboot it into the ADB reboot download
Thanks for your answer, how made this with the adb reboot download? My Windows 7 does not see the phone.
I get this: error: device not found
You should get in to download mode because the s is after the download mode.
I never see the s when trying to get into download

That is my problem, i get into the download modus not yesterday, and today only one time.
I try this:
battery out and in, center button, vol up and power -> nothing
battery out and in, center button, vol down up and power -> nothing
battery out and in, vol down up, center button and power -> nothing
battery out and in, vol down down, center button and power -> nothing
I do not know how i went into the download mode nearly one hour before.
ADB and kies find not the phone :-(
1) Pull out battery.
2) Reinsert battery.
3) Press VOL DOWN - HOME - POWER and keep the 3 buttons pressed until you'll see a yellow image on the phone. You are in download mode!
If your Phone has no Problem with the 3-Button-Combo:
- Turn off your Phone
- Hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons
- While holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons press POWER Button until you reach Download-Mode
- Release all Buttons
Otherwise the only solution is to bring it back to Samsung. ;-)

How was the condition of your battery before you got into trouble. You think you have enough power? If not, let your phone rest for a while and try it again later. Make sure that when you get into download mode you have odin ready so you can flash new firmware immediately .
Nothing,
the only thing i can see is the white samsung galaxy letters, after that the phone reboots.

- Turn off your Phone
- Hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons
- While holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons press POWER Button until Display powers on then release only Power Button
- Hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons until you reach Download Mode
Could be a little tricky to get into download mode. ;-)
Yeah,
back to samsung...nice joke. I do not beliefe, that samsung will change the phone. It was rooted and i installed the modclock recovery before to backup the ROM.
Maybe the device was really warm from charging - is this the key?
i think your Flash was ok. You´ve only forgotten to do a Data Wipe / Factory Reset from Recovery.
Have a look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769400
AFTER FLASHING TO JPC ITS NECESSARY TO DO A DATA/FACTORY RESET FROM RECOVERY (Volume up + Home + Power).
OTHERWISE YOUR PHONE WILL DO MYSTERIOUS THINGS!!!

Reconsider the advice of Arey. To go into download mode can be really tricky sometimes.
Maybe ur battery is drained get some one else to charge it for u
The battery is full

Not download mode but rather recovery. VOL UP + HOME + POWER hold till Samsung white writing appears then release.

in recovery try:
wipe data/factory reset
this will wipe your data so if you can get it working some other way and/or dont want to loose your data dont do it
You're more lucky, you can easly flash it correctly trough odin and/or cwm/recovery.
Somtimes you'll need a adb trick getting into downloadmode if it aint working with connecting it to ODIN without kies, having a CMD open typing from the folder "adb reboot recovery" en hit enter/return when the the COM port is flashing yellow in ODIN.
What stage of flashing from Odin did this happen? It should go into download mode. Try disconnecting power and battery and waiting a few minutes. If you cant do that, return the phone. If they wont replace the phone, there is a way of forcing the phone into download mode using the following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
If you do get to download mode, reflash to a stock Eclair following the instructions carefully

You usually get the "setup connection" error when you are in the Emergency Download Mode instead of Download Mode. You go to Emergency Download Mode by holding down Volume Up + Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button in which it loads a screen that says "Emergency Download Mode" and you go to Download mode by holding down Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button in which it does load the correct download screen with the yellowish message that say "Downloading…". Please make sure you are going to the Download Mode. 'm sorry to say that you have hard-bricked your phone. If your phone is still under warranty, then you can approach a Samsung Service Centre. I have already suggested few solution to a similar problem, but none of them worked. Not even USB Jig. You can refer those solutions here. Maybe it will work for you.

Sorry buddy, there is nothing else you can do except to go to a Service Center. You can give USB Jig a try though but I'm not sure it will work

Download Mode= Vol Down+ Home+ Power Button
Emergency Download Mode= Vol Up+ Vol Down+ Home+ Power Button

SOLVED...... Stuck in DOWNLOAD MODE

Went into download mode...power + vol up & vol down .... Now can't re-boot.
Tried holding power button forever and nothing ...
Anyone know the trick since pulling battery won't work LOL
SOLVED>>>>
For those needing to get out of ODIN / Download mode,....
You need to press in this sequence...
1st .... Vol Down (hold)
2nd...Power (hold)
While holding for 10 seconds it will now reboot
Ouch. What really sucks is that the battery is so damn good that it could be a while if you were to just let it drain.
I'm surprised that a long press on the power button isn't rebooting the device. I have plenty of Samsung devices (S6 edge and tablets) without removable batteries and if it gets stuck, holding the power button always does the trick.

NOPE!
its not working bruh !! i am having galaxy grand 2:cyclops:
Download Stock firmware from Sammobile
Dont panic
Download latest stock rom from sammobile in accordance to your model no
Note- download latest firmware. And also if you download firmware from other sources odin will not be able flash it so download latest stock rom from sammobile.
Then download ODIN 3 latest (3.12) and then select ap and then select the stock rom. It will take time just sit back and relax. If you try to scroll it will not respond. It will display a message LEAVE CS,
Now press and hold volume down key+ home button+ power button and get into download mode and then continue press Volume Up continue. Now get the original samsung cable and attach the cable to the pc,
Odin will display a message added. And then start. Do not interfere just sit back and relax.
Your phone is back
Oh yeah
