Hello people
I think my I9000 is what you call bricked.
When i turn on the phone, it goes to the Recovery Mode, and when i choose ~~Reboot system now~~ after like 30 seconds, it goes back to Recovery Mode again.
please help me out what can i do? Thank You
P.S Vol. down + home + power on or Vol. up + home + power both works.
reflash it with odin, you are lucky mine doesn't seem to work. ):

Hi everyone,
i'm new to this Android thing. last night i upgraed my sgs from 2.1 to 2.3.3 Build XXJVK with kernel 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVK. it works fine and i can go into download mode by holding down volume down + home +power but i can't get the phone to go into recovery mode.
can anyone please kindly show me how to get into recovery mode? (i tried volume up+ home+power, doesnt work)
Just let go off the buttons when the galaxy s logo appears. Do it several times so you will know the right timing to let go
You would have been better off reading all the FAQs on these pages before messing with roms .
Recovery mode is hold down Home + Volume up + Power when Samsung splash screen shows release Home Volume up Then Power Button .

volume up + power + menu and when the logo appears live them

Did you flash jvk via ODIN or via CWM?
If you have not flash jvk via ODIN ever, you might experience strange effects, like:
Some glitches on the screen (jibberish) when starting, or in the camara.
Not entering recovery although you can enter donwload.
Some more.
In my case all these effects disappeared flashing once jvk via odin. It flashes the secondary boot loader, and makes the trick (sbl.bin).
Hope it helps.
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 ??
I did a search but couldn't find anything. Are there any button combos to boot into download mode or recovery mode or is ADB my only option?. I tried what worked on the GS2 but not luck.
Depending on the rom, it should be volume down + power. Hold both until the samsung logo flashes then comes back the 2nd time and let go of power, keep holding volume down and it should boot into recovery. You can also try alternating with volume up + home button + power, same method as above.
Hi,
I've rooted my phone and flashed CF CWM into my phone. I'm able to enter CWM recovery via the CF CWM manager app, however when I tried to enter into recovery via the physical keys (powered down the phone, so press and hold vol down + home key while powering up), my phone just starts up normally and never entered recovery.
Anyone knows what happened?
Thanks.
First, the three button combination for CWM is Volume up + Home + Power.
Volume down is the download mode.
Are you able to get into CWM when not shutting down the phone?
Just hold Volume up + Home + Power for about 10 sec and hold the buttons until you see the Galaxy Note screen.
its working now, i pressed the wrong button combinations LOL.
Thanks for your help
Hi!
I've tried all of metods, home + power, volup voldown + home + power, any combination of them. All I get is samsung la fleur logo blinks for 2 secs, turn off for sec and just boot normally. Any idea to get recovery mode?
EDIT: looks like vol buttons doesnt working, but why I cant get recovery mode?
Connect via odin to see whether it recognizes it while in download mode.Sometimes your phone goes into download mode but the screen doesnt appear..press vol up+down+power for 6 secs and then press vol up.Should be good to go after flashing a stock rom.
GT S5830i-Rocking on Broadcoms gpu...
Here the right guidance:
Download Mode: The Middle of the Volume Button (IMPORTANT!!!) and On/Off Button.
The S5830i has a special Button sequence.
Recovery Mode: Volume up + Home Button + On/Off Button (hold this 3 Buttons till you see the Bootscreen for a second time)

1. Recovery mode = Vol Up + HOME + Power button.
2. Download mode = Vol Up + Vol Down + Power button.
If your vol buttons doesnt working, that mean you cant get to both mode because both combination require vol buttons.
It can be also that ur phone is going into download mode..bt u cannot see..(happened with many)
Press the button required to go in downld mode and connect to pc..
And c if odin is recozing ur cell
