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.

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. ):
Ok so here my problem hope someone can help. Samsung S.A has recently Sent out An update to 2.2.1 XWJS5 which was long awaited, anyways before my Kies update I had 3 button mode working via the odin method on 2.1 XWJM3 , now after the update to XWJS5 I cannot get the recovery mode to work when using the volume up , home key and power key combination. Download mode still works however when pressing volume down + Home Key + Power. I have re-flashed SBL with odin and still only download mode works any help ?
When the first screen pops up let go of the power button. Somehow it changed for me as well on 2.2.1. Download works as normal.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
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 ??
Hello!
I am in deep s***t right now,
tried to flash the SGS of my friend and now i am stuck on the Galaxy S bootscreen.
Reflashing several Kernels via Odin didn't do any good...
I am not sure what to try next, as most CWM Recoveries i Tried seem to have problems mounting a partition called "E"
Any suggestions what to do?
Many thanks!
Do you have access to recovery or download mode by pressing either vol up + home + power or vol down + home + power ?

Go to Download mode, and Flash the original Stock ROM via Odin.
Hi,
I'm using Samsung galaxy mini(S5570), i was trying to flash my mobile, so I rooted it and then installed CWM (using Odin Multi Downloader v4.38, TASS_v1.0.ops, tass-recovery-cwm.tar), but after doing that I'm unable enter to recovery mode.
When I'm holding power button & home button together to enter to recovery mode the Samsung logo is coming and staying till I'm rebooting mobile.
Somebody please help me to solve it, I hardly need to flash my mobile.

If the samsung logo comes up, release power button and only hold home. I think your home button has contact issues, so keep trying, it might just happen once.
