[Q] Is flashing without 3 key combo possible? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have one of the models which vol+/vol-+home+power combinations doesn't work so I don't have download/recovery modes. Is there any hope for me to flash my phone?

sure you can, but the fact that you even asked this question tells me that you should not be flashing anything until you have learned a lot more about it. take your time and read the stickies in this section and also in the development sections first, then reread them, then watch some youtube videos to see how to do it.
the thing that you NEED to understand is that if you cannot use the 3 button combo to get into recovery mode or download mode you will not be able to recover if a flash goes wrong. if your computer has a hickup or the data cable comes loose at the wrong time your phone will be bricked. end of story.

Jeps! if you read before you do it then you know the risks! there are scripts in the i9000 forum section to make it easy to go into download or recovery mode. But you need to use the search button!

Scripts don't help you if you really bugger up your phone.
Obviously you can flash your phone without 3 button modes, but you're at risk of bricking your phone and needing to send it back to Samsung for service.

Thanks for the replies.
If I somehow successfully flash, will the new rom bring back 3 button combo or is it gone forever?

it will remain disabled, until they release a new ROM that includes the 3 button fix
Samsung did mention on their Canadian facebook page, they will release a software fix for the 3 button disabled issue

The guys over in the I9000 forum might be able to help you a bit better... the Captivate is the US variant- we don't even have a physical home button so our procedures are a bit different

+1 to this, but if you are still here, which program did you download?
I assume because you're in this forum, you used the Odin one-click downloader (which is designed for the AT&T captivate) and even says "NOT FOR i9000" like a million times across the top. so if you're stuck in a boot loop with the AT&T logo flashing and then a black screen and then repeating forever, the last I checked that was the only thing you could do to actually brick your phone.
it is the only unresolved issue for i9000 phones until JTAG becomes an option. I believe the i9000 needs to use the physical home button for recovery/download, and because we don't have that, you can't get into those modes to repair the problem.
if this isn't what you did, then yes, head on over to the i9000 thread where they're more likely to have information to help out. they're also more likely to have the info on any potential fixes if it is what happened.
Thread moved to i9000 Q&A

[Q]Can't Access Download Mode Anymore

Alrighty. The other night, I had download mode. I updated to a new Kernal.
Today I try to access it, and I have:
POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE.
Now, I've googled, and none of the threads really answer the question. What do I have to do to get into download mode to flash a new kernal?

It's all right. Nobody starts from 100 anyway. it's always 0. working up..
Hello guys, I am completely new to this forum, first post actually. I recently rooted my new Samsung Galaxy S2 and installed the latest Cyanogenmod7 for AT&T SGH-i777. Everything went fairly smooth and was not too difficult after hours of research. As I navigated the system I found some glitches and decided to go back to stock ROM. Being a noob, I think I installed the wrong Kernel while trying to revert. At this point, I am unable to do much more than get into clockwork mod recovery boot screen with power, up/down volume. While in the screen which is orange rather than blue before, up and down will navigate the options but tapping an option does nothing but reset back to the list. I can not reboot, power off or anything for that matter. I have been trying for hours to get into download mode and all I get is the Samsung Galaxy S2 and then a black screen like nothing has happened. For whatever reason the Samsung Boot screen says i9100 when my phon is SGH-i777 for AT&T. Not sure if what I am dealing with is a bricked phone or if I need some experiential knowledge within this forum to work magic. Any help with resolving this issue is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any time given, Incloud!
Hope this is appropriate for this section.

Missing "3 Keys Combo" !!! Please Help

Hi, I own one of those f.. Galaxy S that do not allow the "3 Keys combo" so I cannot go in download or recovery mode.
I really wish to try one of those beautiful ROM with plenty of speed and features....
I've read that there in an app "quick boot" to go directly into download or recovery. Do you think that it will do what it claims, even on my phone ?
The problem is that Quick Boot requires ROOT.
And I have not yet found a way to get ROOT, without the "3 key combo".
Any help ?
Please let me know
Thank you !

On this forum there is a thread to get 3BR (Three Button Recovery) if your phone didn't come with it, I think through ODIN. Do a search and you should be able to find it, I was reading it yesterday so I don't have a link for you.
for the 3button fix there are some posts laying around the forum, i tried some and sadly they just bricked my phone ( but the sgs from mexico have some screwed up stuff )
example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785201
as for the root you can try superoneclickroot software or there was an app on market called z4root which rooted your phone lol
good luck mate
For some reason, people recommended to not use Richthofen's method anymore for some reason.
Anyways, I used this method successfully to enable 3 combo mode permanently:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821698
if you wanna be safer than sorrier, get a Jig first. In case you soft brick your phone you can still get into download mode and retry.
I also used Richthofens method back then.
Was on a 2.1-ROM back then. I'm not sure if this is still a good a idea for 2.2+.

Unique problem, only see Rainbow Recovery and nothing else

I have spent the last 4 hours searching this forum and countless others. I installed a custom gb rom over my froyo base, which resulted in rainbows. In a panic I went into rom manager and tried to recover my nand backup and now I am stuck in a boot loop with a rainbow'ed clockworkmod.
The version I have is ClockWorkMod Voodoo lagfix Recovery 2.5.1xx in red text.
I have tried every combination listed and I can not get odin to see my vibrant. All I can make out is that every now and then I can get into the recovery menu. From there I can get to the download mode, however I can't read the menus.
All I got is I have to go down 7 to get to the mount & storage option, but from there I don't know where "boot to download" is...
I have looked all over for screen shots to help me narrow it down. Can anyone please tell me how to get to the "boot to download" option in CwM?
I'm at a loss. Also I have not found anyone stupid enough to be in my position so I couldn't find anything useful to help me.
Please help!

Sounds like you had the wrong bootloaders installed for the ROM you were trying to use.
I'm using Recovery v2.5.1.3. From the intial boot into recovery it's 7 down to the "advanced" menu then 8 down to reboot to Download mode (or up 2).
Hope this helps.

Yes, but he can't install it without getting into download mode.
I have had this issue. I wound up looking up CwM on google and seeing what the buttons were and using the pistures as a guide to were things were. I suggest doing this (IF you cant manualy boot into download mode.) And flashing to stock. Give yourself a fresh start. Rooting and installing CwM takes all of like 5 minutes, and if you have your contacts and such saved to your sim or google account you wont lose those (so you have nothing to fear).
I have personaly messed up my vibrant many times in wierd ways (such as this) and have found that it can be fixed allways, even without the unbrickable mod this phone is nearly unbreakable.
LMAO!! Unbelievable that in the past 48 hours 3 people posted either bricked or semi-bricked posts in the wrong section. You would think people would take their time in doing a little research in the proper sections.

Wow, talk about hate. I tried everything, including that link that you just sent me, I can't tell if it is in Download mode or not jerk. I've done this before and I rarely post problems unless I'm really really stuck.
All I see is rainbows on my screen for the clockwork recovery. It's not like everybody else's problem. Maybe you should take a minute and read my full post before making me feel lower than I already am about making a stupid mistake.
@jackdog
thanks for the numbers but I tried them and I got nothing except a reboot back into recovery. I tried 7 down, enter. then 8 down to what is suppose to be reset in download mode but it just resets.... I'm positive that I have that clockworkmod version, damn it!

I've been trying for the last hour to get my computer to read my phone but the only time it sees something is when the vibrant is looping from the boot screen to another screen? ( it's rainbowed out) and then it repeats. I'm trying to download and install the drivers for the damn thing but I'm not having any luck.
Can any post post pictures of the clockworkmod recovery menus?

ODIN!!! Get into download mode and either flash the bootloaders mentioned above or flash a froyo rom. The easiest way into DL mode is to pull battery, hold volume up AND down, plug phone to PC, re-insert battery.
If you flash bootloaders you won't have this problem again and will be able to flash both GB and Froyo roms (eclair too if you want). Check out the custom bootloader thread fpr info.

I can't get into download mode because every screen I see is nothing but that rainbow garbage. I've tried every single button combo and odin isn't picking it up! Trust me I've tried all of that stuff. I need a frame of reference. I'm about to post a video so you guys understand what I see...
Unless you're HW locked (which I doubt if you're rooted) then manual-booting into DL mode should work. Do the following:
-Unplug phone. Remove battery, sd, sim.
-Set up ODIN on the PC, put the bootloader file in or the JFD, whichever you pick. If that's bootloader, please uncheck "Auto-reboot"
-Plug in phone with battery out
-Now while holding vol up and down firmly in and power, place the battery in the phone. Keep holding the three keys until ODIN recognizes your phone as a yellow COM port.
-ODIN. Let it finish. Reboot when it says success.
Goodluck, this should work- and I think DL mode is visible regardless of bootloaders. I may/may not be right on that.
---
You could also try adb. Just plug it in and type the command... 'reboot download' I think. Should get you in download mode.
Also to even humor you on the Download mode screen being rainbows, the odin would still recognise the phone. if taking out the battery dont work then . hold volume upkey (only) and plug in usb cord. if that doesnt work buy or make a jig
Seriously we did the whole rainbow screen thing for about 2 full months this past spring. DL mode will never be rainbow, only recovery. It is a safe mode seperate from most everything "we" do to the phone and other than hard bricking your phone you should be able to get into it. I have never heard of DL mode being "rainbowed".
First try to hold both volume keys and power. If that doesn't work try what Troy said and hold volume up and power. If all else fails call a buddy to come and read these directions that everyone is posting. Not trying to be smart but we really did go about 2 months with "rainbows" and I don't remember any bricks or anyone not being able to get into DL.
I've done all of those steps. I have read countless threads about it. I know exactly how played out it is. I have already ordered the damn resistor to make a jig. Nothing is working and that is why I am panicking. I can't imagine how many people pester you guys about the same damn thing. I'm sorry. I just want Odin to read my damn phone so I can upgrade the bootloader and be done with it. adb doesn't read the phone either, no matter what I do. Thank you for your help, if the jig doesn't work then it doesn't work.
*sigh*
If you haven't yet realized, several of the "old pros" on this forum have placated your lack of reading by posting the steps to solve your problem. If none of their solutions have worked, your phone is dead. Given your inability to find such basic information on a problem that has been thoroughly solved 200x over (Hell, I tried to make a thread with "rainbow" in the title and XDA gave me 900 similar threads on the problem) I suggest you try a simpler phone.
Maybe an etch-a-sketch.

You know what I don't seem to get is since when is this forum full of [email protected]? Seriously. I've put in all of my time to search and I did follow all the steps from what I have found and tried it over and over again. You seem to just want to bash people simply because you think they are a moron. You know what I get that, but I how posted repeatedly that I have looked over those forums and still have the same issue, and all I get is a stupid noob video on youtube. Real mature. The mod can close or delete this thread for all I care, I needed help and thanks to you and a few others on here for making things worse then they should have been. For those of you that posted helpful information and tried to help me thank you. I will leave all of you a thanks. I'm done.
You don't understand how exasperating it is for forum regulars to write long, painstakingly researched guides on how to solve common problems only to have a thousand yahoos ignore it, make their own thread, and then ***** when people get snippy that they completely ignored any and all forum guidelines in posting that thread titled "OMG How do I flash a ROM and how do I root and I can't get recovery to install!"
Your problem is not unique. If you're seeing a rainbow, you have not yet reached download mode. Take out the battery. Wait 5 minutes. Plug the ORIGINAL USB cable into your computer. Hold down BOTH volume keys and ONLY both volume keys while inserting the cable. KEEP HOLDING THE KEYS and insert the battery. Release the keys. You should be in download mode. If that doesn't work, you either did it wrong, or your phone is dead. Try it several times over until you're satisfied that it's one or the other.
WoW.. just read through the thread and no one has been out of line... There have been several very good and trusted peeps.. Devs even. . Who gave you an answer. Your problem is jot unique. Download mode does can be a ***** to get into sometimes. Keep trying.

[Q] recover bricked Samsung ATIV Odyssey ? HELP !!!!

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone could help me. On the Samsung ATIV Odyssey I have, when it boots, it will show, Windows Phone, Samsung screen then just shows the spinning gears..this will go on forever. I tried to reset and "tried" to hard reset it but could never get the "!" To show up.
Is there any way possible to recover this phone or am I stuck having to send it out to Samsung?
I have not been able to get anywhere with this phone and can't find recovery software like Nokia has for their phones for Samsung models....
Thanks in advance!!
Can anyone help with this issue ?
I ended up calling Samsung, the phone is out of warranty (of course) but, they say they will do a free one time flash to attempt to recover the phone. The provided free shipping and will flash it and return the phone to me at no charge.
Nice, didn't know they offered that....

Thanks, does the Odyssey (SCH-I930) can be flashed with the roms for the ATIV S ? Interesting, If I can get this phone up and running again, I might try to go the ROOT route if I can. That is if it can be recovered.
2 computers would not even detect this phone because of it being a reboot loop. So even if I had a rom or something else for it, the computer would not even see it.
Not my primary phone, so no big rush if I have to wait for a week...

NO IT CAN'T OF COURSE BE FLASHED WITH OTHER PHONES' ROMS BUT IF YOU KEEP READING ALL THE PAGES OF THE THREADS I'VE LINKED YOU YOU'LL LEARN THAT WOLF MADE OTHER CUSTOM CSCs(the smallest,editable part of a WP rom) SPECIFIC FOR YOUR DEVICE AND HOW TO FLASH 'EM
(I wrote with caps lock in order to let you get the importance of the point )
It's normal that every pc doesn't see your phone:something in its os is missing.I would advice you to flash another csc -description in this the customwolf rom thread I've already link to you -(see the specific combination of your model in order to know if your phone turns on in download modus and you can try to flash again it)
EDIT----
Sorry man,I just Thought now to it: You could simplify your life just trying first a Hard reset from buttons combination (I think this is the correct one,but you can search for yourself for the specific combination of buttons of your phone).
Alternate Method
Step 1
Turn off the phone and wait 15 seconds.
Step 2
Press the "Power" button. Press and hold the Volume Down button until an exclamation mark appears on the screen.
Step 3
Press the Volume Up button and then press the Volume Down button. Press the Power button and then press the Volume Down button again. The screen goes black and then the reset process completes.
In this way you should be able to HR your device without turning it on and risking to damage it more with flashing

Thanks again for your help here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The hard reset is not working. I tried this MANY time before posting (after about a day playing with it, at the point of giving up hope). I can try the key commands but, at no point will I EVER see the exclamation mark. No kidding, I must of tried this 40 different ways, with different timing, I can 100% confirm that something is screwy with this phone.
If I do the Power plus volume down (to try to get the exclamation mark), as soon as a let go of the power button and holding the vol down, the phone will go in a reboot loop.
The phone does not get to a point where the PC will detect it, it will start to boot up and it will show on the display Windows Phone, then Samsung logo, then it will just show the spinning gears(like it had a failed update). It does this for ever (I let it go 24 hours before pulling it). I can do the soft reset but, that is it...
It's packed up ready to go but, I'll hold it for a day, do you think I could actually recover this phone with a rom ?

Thanks again for your help. When I get it back, if it's running, then I will try to interop it....

You're welcome
When the phone will be perfectly working you 'll be able to interop it with wolf's custom csc (the thread I've linked to you)
Cheers
BTW, I have the custom rom for the Odyssey, its definitely got some odd bugs.
Verizon stores can reflash it for you too for free, just need to hit up a Verizon CORPORATE store. Apparently they have the tools and the ROM, instead of waiting for it to be mailed and come back.
Well I used the wolf custom rom and follow the exactly instructions but my phone now say is corrupted, and instead of boat show me a message telling me that!
So, I got another one and now has the same problem, so, somebady knows if there is at day an original rom available?
Still no public Odyssey ROM yet.
