hello all,
question about the 3 button fix for the captivate. I just got the captivate a few months back and before i decided to rom it i investigated all the recovery tools i would need just in case.
I found 2 different variants of Odin3 one that needed a pit file and PDA file and another that had just one click restore to 2.1.
I tried the pit / PDA first if i recall it appeared to lock up, not sure on what part but i got it back in DL mode and then tried the one click which worked.
now let me preface this with before i tried anything i ensured the 3 button combo for download mode worked, and it did. I flashed Apex 5.2 and ever since then the 3 button combo ceased to work. I recently flashed to Firefly 3.0 and still the 3 button doesnt work, it would also appear the recovery mode does not work as well.
I have been getting to these modes using ADB, which works fine, but I would love to get 3 button back... but if its a risky procedure i will live with it, i do have a jig on the way, which just in case i can use to get back. but that leaves recovery mode not really accessable unless i use ADB?
any how thoughts comments suggestions are all welcome and thanks for being such an awesome site!
On a custom rom, hold the power button. Extended power menu has recovery and download right there.
How have you not seen it??
also SEARCH there is an odin that fixes the 3 button combo...
download mode is 2 button combo and no way to loose it.
hold both volumes + then plug in usb (keep held til screen comes on)
recovery mode is 3 button combo..
hold both volumes + then hold power (keep ALL held til screen comes on for 3 seconds)
studacris,
Yes i have seen the reboot into recovery, which is great the only issue i have is when flashing a different rom i want a back out solution. I also have found the fix, but was wondering how risky is it to apply this fix, and will it stay fixed? i would rather live with a minor inconvenience then a hard brick situation. thanks for the info=)
edit: this is the thread i was reading for the fix is this the most up to date one? also the attachment is missing the PIT file, is it needed anymore?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439
TRusselo,
yeah i cant do either of those, which is my concern
odin one click flashes both bootloaders but sometimes, in later build phones the one click sbl.bin will, lose it's combo. The fix flashes the secondary bootloader, that is known to always work.
It's about as risky to flash as odin one click if not safer because it's only flashing one bootloader instead of both.
The pit file isn't needed you are not messing with the partitioning table in the least. Just put the .tar in the pda slot.
Just note, if you go to gingerbread, go back to stock with the one click. If you use the 3 button fix version you will guaranteed brick your phone.
Important to note that if you've flashed an I9000 based ROM your 3 button may have changed to vol up-home-power. If that doesn't work and you're on a 2.1 or 2.2 ROM then you've probably just lost the sbl for 3 button and need to reflash it.
You should always be able to get into download mode via hold down vol up and vol down and plugging in the USB cable, I've never lost that.
awesome thank you for putting my mind at ease,
if i flash the fix will i need to flash the fix every time i flash to a new froyo based rom?
hmm odd cause i seem to have lost download mode.
what i have been doing to get into DL mode is;
turn off the phone,
pull battery and sim (i dont have an external SD),
put battery back
hold vol up and vol down then plug in usb cable that is connected to a PC i will get a battery charging display on screen
once you flash it you should be good to flash whatever else on top of it.
one last thing,
in that thread i linked with the fix, the instructions say to take a PDA.tar file and a pit file which was added with the odin download, but the odin download is by itself no pit file, opening the PDA.tar file i can see the SBL.bin file so i am assuming that we may not need the pit file?
you dont need the pit. it is fine.
thank you, i'll give it a try next time a flash a new rom =)
i appreciate all the info guys =)

I followed the above method to remove trinagle and reset binary. Now iam on ics stock 4.0.4 so i followed the exact instructions, it tells you exactly what you need to do if your on ics 4.0.4. i used the first tar file in PDA, followed by the secound tar file in bootloader as it sugessted. Now everything went fine, it said PASS! tried to turn on my phone and its BLANK screen. i can hear it turn on and it lights up but thats it, i cannot anything. my phone can connect to the pc but everytime i try to turn it off with a battery pull, soon as i put battery back in, it loads up again! so how on earth would i ever get this in download mode if it can be fixed!!
ive replied to the OP thread but he has not yet replied, iam unsure if its bricked or can i recover this?
cheers.

just press (home+power+vol dwn) together in wat ever state and check if it goes to the download mode
I think you are not bricked
Are you able to enter recovery mode
If yo can,try clearing cache and dalvic cache,but dont do a factory reset since you are on ics
If it doesnt work,try flashing a gb rom
The screen is black! cannot see anything on it so i wont be able to see what iam doing. i can hear start up sound and see the lights only.
right now my phone is off so iam sure i can go into download mode and connect it to odin!
i need the correct steps if possible, i dont think its bricked at all either. hopefully the OP thread guy has a solution but if he does not, i will need some damn help!
BTW iam on a speedmod v13 kernal. so if ive got no choice but to flash a rom, my kernal is safe right?

YEP it has connected and is showing yellow in the port!
YES screen is blank, NOTHING is showing up at all. it might be due to the 2.tar file i had to flash in bootloader in odin.
What methods does anyone recommend? or shall i also wait until the OP guy responds incase he has a solution. does this mean iam not bricked if i can connect and hear restart sound and lights?
These were the instructions i followed
1)You need a JIG. You can buy it or create its own
2) Download attached zip archive and extract it to some folder
3) Reboot you device in download mode - turn it off, than hold volume down + center button + power button. Wait for the warning message and press volume up
4) Plug it to you PC
5) Start Odin from extracted folder and choose '1.tar' file for PDA flash. You must get the same settings
6) Press Start and wait for the completion of the flashing
7) After reboot you should get black and dead screen. Unplug USB from PC. Long press power button (15-20 seconds). Remove battery for 5 seconds, plug in JIG, put battery back. Wait for 40 seconds, press power button for 5 seconds, remove JIG, long press power button (15-20 seconds), remove battery
8) Put battery back, hold volume down + center button + power button for 10-15 seconds, press volume up, plug it to you PC
9)If you have stock/custom ICS ROM (Android 4.0.3 or 4.0.4) your step is:
Start Odin from extracted folder and choose '2-ZSLPF.tar' file for BOOTLOADER flash
10) Press Start and wait for the completion of the flashing
At points 7-10 the screen will not work!
Followed this down to a T, i had to download and use both of those tar files mentioned for my device which is ics 4.0.4 stock.

I guess you have to flash some ROM which has bootloader included, try flashing stock GB rom using pc odin.

Yes if this has been recommended and worked, then try it. Otherwise download stock pre-rooted GB rom from dr.ketan's thread if you do not have stock GB firmware and flash it using pc odin.

is that the link that says downgrade to pre rooted GB ROM?
if correct...do i just go into download mode and select PDA to get the zip and just press start?????
Yes that's prerooted rom, you need first to extract it to .tar
Zip file won't flash by pc odin. If you dont have unzip tool to.extract, find toolbox on my signature and you will find unzip tool. Use that tool to extract zip file.

Everything is fine! phew
thank you ketan and jeetu! you guys have always helped me and ive thanked all of you.
i am not sure if this is the right place for this question. please let me know if its not.
in the beginning it was just restarting on samsung and model number logo. I am trying to bring it back to stock rom for i9000m bell canada.
i have tried few steps already but after flashing all the files it just stuck after passing initial screen
i have tried all steps from this link

please let me know if i can try anything else to save my phone.
Could anybody please help me out ?
Sure, try this. ( I have the same phone ).
1. download ukg3 from samfirmware.com
2. Flash in pda in odin with 512 pit file
3. When finished, phone will bootloop. Thats normal
4. Pull battery and reboot into recovery.
5. Wipe data and factory reset.
6. If you get a dbdata error, that normal as well. Search and find the empty dbdata partition that you can flash with odin and flash in pda with no re partition.
7. You're good to go
Thanks for your reply.
i have downloaded the file and it is I9000UGKG3_I9000BMCKG3_BMC.zip
after unzip i have got only one .tar file which is I9000UGKG3-homebinary.tar
sorry did not get any .pit file with this.
i have tried another method before which is almost similar to this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
is it the same method you are talking about or is it something different. i tried with pit file with partition checked. but it still did't work
My only guess is if there is anything wrong with volume up button because after flashing all files, i am not able to enter recovery mode but pressing volume down + home + power is taking me to download mode. but vol up +home
+ power button is not going to recovery mode.
any suggestion ?

I think if you can't enter recovery mode , your phone already soft brick , you can recover it by flash back the stock ROM

Hello,
So I have a galaxy mini s5570i version and I tried to flash recovery on it. As i realized Odin can't seem to identify this version, I might be wrong tho, god hope so. So i tried to find another way of flashing it. I managed to get root on it (with an update.zip) but I couldn't find any cwm for it, so at last I tried my luck by putting the s5570 cwm 5.2.0.8 touch recovery on it via the original recovery.
Now the phone hangs on boot logo, I assume it can't find the system partition or something like that.
I'm still able to get into stock recovery and download mode.
What are my options?
Can I get custom recovery on it via odin or sd card or somehow?
Can I get back to original Android at least via sd and downloaded stock ROM and update that?
Thanks in advance
Your Phone is Probably soft bricked.
If your phone can go to odin mode, (Vol. Down + Home Button + Power Button) you are saved.
1. Download this: S5570I.rar

For stock rom is about the same as unbricking. You can use that to go back to Android version 2.3.6
For flashing kernel/custom rom i would usually use ClockWorkMod Recovery
