My phone is acting up I dont know why.
When I turn it on it doesnt change from the first screen where it Says Galaxy s
GT-i9000 to i9000m
I dont know whats up link me to help me out brosÉ
try to put the phone in recovery mode (volume up + home button + power button ) all at the same time if that works try to do factory reset and wipe all the caches..
if that doesnt work try to put the phone in download mode (volume down + home button + power button ) again all at the same time.. if that works flash a new rom ( stock rom is best ) and that should fix your problem
if none of them work, come back here and let us know and we can talk about some other recovery methods.

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.

P.S Vol. down + home + power on or Vol. up + home + power both works.

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

If you do get to download mode, reflash to a stock Eclair following the instructions carefully

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 .
jje
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 have a Samsung Captivate (I897) but I accidentally installed the I9000 firmware on it. Now my home button acts like the back button, The 3 button combo doesn't work, and the back button doesn't work at all. I tried to get it to do SOMETHING and somehow I got it into recovery mode but now i cant get it out and get it to boot up. It shows the normal recovery mode options and i can scroll down and up but I can't select anything because it says use the "select" button but there is no "select" button on the I897. All I need is to get into download mode and i can probably fix it from there. I want to flash it back to factory settings so my fiance can use it. Can someone please help me? I've been searching the forums for days trying to find the same issue but to no avail.
What I9000 firmware? If it was a gingerbread build the button combo for download mode is vol down and power, otherwise it should be the same both volumes then plug in ausb cable... or make a jig.
And just for the hell of it try using the menu button to select something in recovery.
Holy F man you are the man!! i used the volume down and power button and its now in download mode. Now I can try to flash it back with Odin. Thank you soooooo much!!
ok so i tried that and now it wont even turn on at all. idk whats goin on with it. i may just have to send it in to samsung...
