I checked Recovery mode and Download mode, and thats OK.
But i found information on Internet, and always the same: VOL UP/DOWN + HOME + POWER.
In some sites, somethind about Forced Upload (i've got one time only and i dont remember how it was.
The question: i called to technical support and asked for the way to get into fastboot mode, and the replay was the information is properly for samsung personal.
Then, i was tyred and bored.
Could anybody help me?
NOTE:
I know that download mode is enaugh, but booting directly from a recovery file in PC is good and quick, and flashing the recovery boot only.
Hey
Just played around with my Galaxy S and could retrieve the way to get into
Forced upload
I pressed Volume up and home until the black and whie Galaxy S boot Screen came
up and then right away volume up+home+powerbutton at the same time.
Hope it works for you as well and hope I remembered it correct because I am feeling
realy dizzy today paired with headaches :/
Is the forced upload mode same as fastboot? Because I am trying to install an other bootscreen as the
one from samsung is not my thing.
I have two phone, one with working 3 button hack, another one without recovery mode with 3 buttons.
on the later device i alway get the "forced upload" (whatever this is) while pressing home and vol up for 3 or more seconds when phone is of.
on the othe device (wirkoing three button mode) i did not manage to see "forced upload"
a similar question has been asked somewhere before: fastboot is htc (ADP=android development phone) specific. fastboot does not (and never will) work with samsung handsets!
Thread moved to Q&A.

Want to explain why my old Galaxy I7500 had fastboot then?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
if you simply want to reboot the phone quickly, there is an APP for that
you can choose normal reboot
reboot to Recovery Mode
reboot to Download Mode
look for Quick Boot

Fastboot is an utility from the Android SDK and normaly not made only for one brand.

if anyone finds out how to use fastboot with the galaxy s i will gladly buy 'em a couple of beers because i would love to have this functionality at my disposal!!!

Doesn't this app solve the broken three button recovery problem?
Thats the thing i referred it. All people with Galaxy S work with REcovery and Download odes.
But anybody knows how the FastBoot Mode works in i9000, and it very important taking a native mode to change the Recovery Boot without flashing with ODIN or Rom Maneger utility (free at the moment).
I understand FAST BOOT is something in relation with android, but ¿is it posible that it need an especial recovery boot, like an intermediate, for passsing throw to FastBoot mode?

of course not
when you are bricked, how are you going to run a software on a dead phone?
the phone needs to be rooted for quick boot to work
if you do it via ADB when connected to PC
then you don't need to be rooted

I explained more better.
If phone is bricked, it doesnt boots.
Then, ADB is worthy. For that reason, only two chioces:
1) FLASH with ODIN, if it posible with download mode
2) Samsung with JTAG ---> money!!!!
2) FastBoot Mode.
That is very important, and thats my interest
if the phone is bricked
only the 3 button Download Mode will work
JTAG, not many places have it, it's hard to find, the phone is still too new.
Fastboot mode will not work when bricked
ADB will not work when bricked

AllGamer, I think you should look up what fastboot actually is/does.
It's a way to flash the phone from a 3button style download mode. The thing is, you can use ADB from windows/Mac/Linux to flash it. (Yes, even when bricked, because you enter it with a different 3button combo)
All HTC Phones have the ability, as well as the Original Samsung Galaxy I7500 and I5700 phones.
People are on here wondering if there's a way to enable the function on the Galaxy S.
Responding in a thread where you have no idea what the topic at hand actually is just makes the thread harder to follow. Please refrain in the future.
Yes, i think FASTBOOT is another backdoor to revover the phone.
And, another advantage:
1) substituting the revovery boot partition (throw native flashing 3button mode) or
2) boot from PC with one recovery image without writing the recovery partion, making diagnostic and everyting like testing news images.
It is very important, and many people will be wondered to know this 3button mode.
Samsung, by call, admited to know the mode, but they dont wanto to say how to get in mode fastboot.
I'll continue to find it.
AllGamer:
How, then, do you overwrite the boot partition? With ADB? Then you need unbricked phone .....

Did samsung actualy make the phone and not just designed it? Ie the sony xperia x1 was a htc made phone but sony design. So maybe that's why u had fastboot in the 7500. Either way i have no idea on samsung phones as i never liked them

if the so call fastboot is actuall another hardware mode, and not the fastboot from ADB shell, then it'll have to be some sort of buttons to trigger it.
I know people that have posted they got into a Forced Upload mode, is that what you guys mean by fastboot mode?
However only people with the disabled 3 buttons download modes seems to have been able to get into this Forced Upload mode, problem is none of them knows exactly how they got into that mode

It IS fastboot from ADB.
You basically put the phone in fastboot mode (similar to 3 button download mode). You can then flash your phone (with the phone in fastboot mode[not booted into android]) with the fastboot command in the Android SDK Tools folder.
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" would flash a new recovery image to the phone, or "fastboot flash boot boot.img" would flash a new boot image to the phone.
All this can be done by entering a 3button combo to power on the phone directly into fastboot mode. (Android not required to boot, or even be functioning)
Hello,
all is in the title, I have failed a flash, I can only access Download mode because I have a jig USB.
But I can't go in recovey because my Home button is broken.
Is there a way from Download mode to go to Recovery mode ?

Don't think it is. Probably the best is to flash a stock firmware and then with adb working (you need a fully booted device) in a terminal / cmd type:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Hi Guys,
Figured I will ask the experts here. My mate dropped his S5 Mini a few days ago, since then the touch screen does not work so he can't put in a pattern to unlock the phone. New screen prices in South Africa is ridiculous, especially for a 3 year old phone. I want to help him get his photo's off the phone but the we can't do the pattern unlock and S5 mini does not support OTG cables, so we can't use a PC mouse etc. Also can't enable USB debugging obviously.
I'm thinking of trying via the Recovery loader or whatever you all it. The stock recovery does not seem to allow mounting of the various partitions via ADB from what I have read, so will I need to flash a custom Recovery like TWRP 3.0.0? Also see you need to have an unlocked bootloader in order to flash a custom recovery. I presume rooting the device with CF-Auto-Root will unlock the boot loader? I can then load the custom recovery after doing the root?
Rough process would be.
1. Boot Download mode -> Flash CF-auto-root -> Reboot | From what I have read this is safe and does not trash any data as its a separate partition?
2. Boot Download mode -> Flash custom recovery -> Reboot | From what I have read this is safe and does not trash any data as its a separate partition?
3. Boot Recovery Mode
Any help would be appreciated as I really dont want to trash his data.
Cheers
Jacques
