[Q] galaxy S recovery mode after upgrade to 2.3.3

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.

[Q] Download/Recovery mode not working !! Help !! :(

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 ??

[Q] Power reset or unknown upload mode after flashing CM10

Hello guys!
While flashing to CM10 from CM9, my phone rebooted and stopped into screen "Power Reset or Unknown upload mode", no keys are pressed while booting. Any ideas how to fix this? I discharged battery completely and put it again but still this screen shows up.

any idea?

try to enter download mode it seems that kernel is broken
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium

Enter download mode, and then using odin just install any custom firmware or a stock firmware !
Hope it helps ! :fingers-crossed:

i've tried home + vol down+ power button
only logo of Samsung showed up, after that annoying message "Power reset......"
any idea?

Are you able to boot into CWM? if yes, ask someone if he can take your sd card and download a CWMflashable zip to it. The plug it into your own phone and flash... :fingers are crossed for you:
------------------------------
working on:
SuperRom64 (2.3.6)
Project Stock (4.0.4)

whatever i'd press, all the time i see samsung logo and after 30 secs an error message.

1. Switch off your mobile.
2. Now, press and hold the volume up key and the power button. Leave both buttons when you see the SAMSUNG logo.
3. After "Galaxy S" splash screen you will get a white box and android logo image like below,then press menu soft key and wait some second.
4. If you boot into recovery, then wipe everything and then flash the ROM.
And it seems that you have managed to brick your mobile ! But try this I hope it solves your problem.

Doesnt work ;/ will try with jig

You usually get the "setup connection" error when you are in the Emergency Download Mode instead of Download Mode. You go to Emergency Download Mode by holding down Volume Up + Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button in which it loads a screen that says "Emergency Download Mode" and you go to Download mode by holding down Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button in which it does load the correct download screen with the yellowish message that say "Downloading…". Please make sure you are going to the Download Mode. 'm sorry to say that you have hard-bricked your phone. If your phone is still under warranty, then you can approach a Samsung Service Centre. I have already suggested few solution to a similar problem, but none of them worked. Not even USB Jig. You can refer those solutions here. Maybe it will work for you.

Sorry buddy, there is nothing else you can do except to go to a Service Center. You can give USB Jig a try though but I'm not sure it will work
