Dear friends,
I was trying to flash my diamond with mtty, where i guess i messed up with commands, I formatted it, then tried to restart with "task 8" then my phone turned off and never on again no matter what i did or key pushed.
Any help will be much appreciated...
me too
but i don't know how to use Jtag recover BL for Diamond
Update ROM by using the BootLoader
Hello there,
even though you can't boot into your OS in the Diamond, there's a way to enter "BootLoader" mode. I'm not sure it works, but you can give it a try.
Here's how:
- Connect the Diamond to your PC
- Enter bootloader mode on your Diamond: with the device turned on, press and hold the volume down button along with the power button, then press the reset button with the stylus tip, then release the volume down and power buttons when bootloader tricolour screen appears.
- Use the ROM Update Utility. If the previous step worked and your connection is working, then with some luck you will be able to Flash the Device with the ROM update utility.
I've tried to find the thread that discussed this with pictures and such but couldn't. You might want to look for similar instructions
Good luck
Shane
JTAG
does anyone managed to JTAG diamond?
hey, my volume buttons are broken, (great since i wanted to buy a new phone as of late ) but i was wondering, is there any way to enter bootloader without the vol down button?
Grateful for any help on this.
If I remember right, If you want to flash stock ROM, all you need to do is connect your phone in activesync mode and start the RUU. The RUU will then take care of switching the phone to bootloader and flashing. And keeping in mind that most stock ROM packeges contain radio and SPL you will have a brand new phone (except for the volume buttons)

m_damyanov is right, running the ruu will put the device into bootloader mode. Another option which I read somewhere, but have not tried - if you run the CustomRUU, the files get unpacked in the folder on your pc. One of the files "unpacked" is EnterBootloader.exe - I believe you can copy this to your device and run it from the sd card.

solved, i disembled my stone a bit, managed to use a knife and a screwdriver and somehow it worked, and i put stockrom back, kinda fast running a 6.1 rom again afraid to turn it off now !
Solved, thread closed
Right, I can get to recovery using clockwork after rooting my phone but cannot get into the bootloader by holding down power, home and volume up at boot.
I've tried turning the phone on, immediatly holding down vol up, power and home. It just cycles the Samsun galaxy boot screen to black screen then repeat.
I've also tried taking my fingers off the power (and all other keys on some occasions) when this screen is reached and then putting them back on again - Still no joy.
Anyone got any ideas?
I'd like to try some other roms on my phone but don't want to mess up booting into android and then have no way of getting into recovery/bootloader. Finding it hard to love my galaxy (compared to my desire) due to how I can't do certain things at the moment!
you are not supposed to boot first
to go into download mode, you do it from Power OFF
remove the battery
put battery back
then do the key combos as shown in the wiki
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/Vibrant_GT-I9000M
if it keeps cycling in and endless loop with the Galaxy logo, then the phone is not good
return the phone, and get another one that works
You need to set flags in the boot loader when the phone starts, you do this by holding HOME and either volume up or down. UP is for recovery, and DOWN is for downloader mod. ( Remember [down]loader. )
So whilst holding those two buttons, you then need to turn on the phone. You simply press power until the phone turns on, it is not 'part of the key combination' per say.
If you have no downloader mode, it may be that you received one of the few phones that had the downloader mode disabled for some reason or another, Samsung have said that they will be releasing a patch to fix this. ( I have no idea how you will install it. )

Thanks, do you have a quote for that samsung info? I expect it will have to be an over the air update or something like that?
hi, sorry to hijack but i also got the same prob as the thread starter... then i chanced upon this thread
One Click Root/UnRoot I9000 (Eclair and Froyo) Mac and PC
sorry cant link the url here.... but can search using that thread name
so i was wondering if i can use that method to do it since i cant access the boot nor download...
if i did successfully root it... was might be the disadvantage about it??
i jsut got my phone 24hrs ago... read through abit but not alot... sorry if i am asking some real dumb questions

You could use the one click root app thats available.

This is very easy and will reboot your phone into recovery mode.
There have been those that run into problems after installing the XXJP3I9000 update on the Samsung Captivate and attempt to reboot into recovery mode. The issue that they have is that since the Captivate has no physical home button to select an option like you can with the Galaxy S, you can't select an option, and therefore you can't reboot your device regularly. While I am in this same problem and have not figured out a solution, I have started this thread to post what knowledge I have about this issue so that others may help get this issue figured out. If anyone has information on how to fix this problem, please comment below. Let's fix this!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First of all, the key combinations that standardly would work with the original captivate firmware will not work anymore. Pressing all three buttons (Vol+, Vol - and Power) will only power cycle the phone, that is, until you let up on the buttons. Pressing Vol+ and Vol- and then plugging your phone into the computer will also do nothing. (By nothing I mean will take you back to the recovery menu)
Every key combination will only take you back to the recovery menu, so key combinations seem to be out.
If you boot into recovery mode, take out the battery and put it back in, all the while keeping the phone plugged in to the computer, the phone will enter the "POWER RESET OR UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE", which will show your device in windows as being a Samsung USB Composite Device and a Samsung Mobile Modem (gadget serial, Windows 7) While this may be helpful, you cannot run ODIN or ADB in this mode, nor does this allow disk access. If you have Samsung Kies installed, it will detect a device, but will never complete loading it.
Other information with this method: On the phone screen, as well as showing "POWER RESET OR UNKNOWN UPLOAD DEVICE" the screen will also show the following in red:
RST_STAT =0X1
PMIC_IRQ1 =0X0
PMIC_IRQ2 =0x0
PMIC_IRQ3 =0x4
PMIC_STATUS1 =0x40
PMIC_STATUS2 =0x2c
If this helps anybody, it was a pleasure
Another method I found briefly was that after installing Kies, and rebooting the phone into recovery mode (again) my computer detected four new devices, two of them being Samsung Android devices and one being a disk drive. Potentially, without freezing or error, the drivers that are included with the Kies software will detect and allow for disk management while the phone is in recovery mode. Three of the four devices installed without error for me, but the fourth, the actual Android device, continued to say "installing device" until I unplugged the phone out of frustration. It has since not detected those four devices again, and I have yet to figure out how to do that again. The nice thing about that was that although the adb.exe reboot download command did not work, adb.exe did detect the phone. if this is true then rebooting normally or into download mode should be easy.
The last thing I noticed is that button furthest to the left on the main screen on the captivate will close the recovery menu when pressed, and leave the background behind, and then will reopen the recovery menu when pressed again. This is showing me that the four touch buttons are operable, but not configured. If it were possible to reconfigure the actions that pressing these buttons do, then it would be easy to be able to reboot the device normally.
I have compiled information to the best of my ability, and here is a question to ask, that I think will help solve the problem. Can the captivate with I9000 2.2 software run adb in recovery mode?
Comments, Questions, and Most of all, answers would be appreciated for me, as well as for other users with the same problem as I. Hopefully, this thread can be the solving point for this problem.
Many Thanks,
TouchofDestiny
The n00b who isn't a n00b at all
An Update: The reason that the combinations don't work for me or either people is because they (and I) fail to install the captivate kernel, and that is making the volume power button controls useless.
same here i put froyo from the galaxy s i9000 and i cant change the rom or get into recoverymode because buttons dont work man this sucks and 3G or Edge doesnt work.....
You're problem is a little different. If you can't get into recovery mode, than that means you aren't in recovery mode, which means you can use ADB to enter download mode and use Odin to flash your phone. I have given up looking for a solution, and have sent my phone back to AT&T for a replacement. Since I'm still in my thirty day trial period, it doesn't matter if I used different firmware or not. Hopefully others won't get into the situation I had. For me, this thread is complete.

hi,
I solved the same problem doing this:
start odin.
take out battery. plug in USB. press both volume buttons. insert battery while pressing those buttons.
Done. download mode should appear.
yep, same boat
I am in the same position here. I downloaded the froyo leak and installed it with odin, no problem there. Upon startup into froyo, all was good, except my phone was stuck in horizontal mode until I tilted it vertical, *then* it would go horizontal. So basically I am 90 degrees off kilter. I decided to look around for another rom to try, and in the process managed to get stuck in recovery mode. Couldn't tell ya what firmware I have, just what is on the endless recovery screen that I cannot get out of!
I have no external microSD card, only the SIM card, and no way to get it recognized on my XP or win 7 system.
Really, really stuck here, guys. I do have the androidsdk installed, if there is a way to get it to reboot. As it is, adb cannot see the device, so I am looking at a truly bricked phone.
And yes, this is a US phone, which is why the power button and home button are not mapped (I assume).
I am DESPERATE for some help here!
and while I am at it...
I WAS able to get into download mode with the shovel guy originally by using the 2 volume keys+power, usb (odin up), battery in, release power.
No more. No key combo works.
Totally bricked the Samsung, which is supposed to be impossible!

when you are on the i9000 rom the only button that will get you in download mode is the vol down
That's HUGE!
You, sir, are a gentleman, scholar, and all-round smart guy! How did I miss that? I coulda SWORN I was getting into download mode with both volume keys. I've never been so happy to see a little Dalek dude with a shovel in my LIFE. 2 minutes in the one-click installer and now I'm back in business!
Thanks for helping a terrified owner out, and preventing a trip to the AT&T store.
I cannot go to download mode
I have the same problem here. Stuck in the recovery mode after upgrade the froyo and had the orientation problem. How do you go into download mode or power reset or unknown upload mode? Any button combination doesnt seem to work for me.
How do I do?
Please HELP. I am struggling here
Thanks

the key to the i9000 rom/kernel button combo is VOL DOWN + using the USB trick. do not press vol up + down, just the down while you are plugging in the usb cable
i too am stuck in recovery mode. the only way i can get into download mode is by using both volume buttons. just holding the down button just sends me to revoery mode as well. how can i fix my phone in download mode?
nevermind, reinstalled 2.2 and it works now.
Eureka I got it...I think
I installed froyo 2.2 i9000 on my captivate and got stuck in recovery mode...power button doesnt select and when I hold down the up and down vol buttons I couldnt get the downloading icon anymore either. Then I remembered something from another post....
Home + Vol Down + Power = Downloading Icon
It worked for me....let me know if this helped....I'm officially unbricked.
Hey. I'm in the same boat. My Captivate has I9000 firmware running it and it won't run properly. I can't access the settings to enable USB debugging in order to boot in either Recovery or Download using adb and no button combination works for me. I can't use button combos to boot into either Recovery or Download mode.
Does anybody have any idea what is going on and how to fix this?

JPBentley-- Since the I9000 firmware is set to use physical buttons, and the Captivate doesn't contain any, once you get into recovery mode, you cannot get out. The standard Captivate key combinations to get into download mode do not work, as do the combinations to get into download mode via the I9000 firmware. Basically, you get to a dead end. Unless there is some way to flash the phone's ROM outside of download mode, which I doubt, your best bet is to return the phone for a replacement. After haggling around with AT&T for a while, they admitted that installing the I9000 ROM doesn't invalidate your warranty, so they should take it back. They did with mine, and now I'm running the official Froyo leak. Good luck with your new phone!
SOLUTION
For all those that are having this problem, Ive struggled with it & tried EVERY possible button combination & nothing worked.
The ONLY solutions I have found is to use a usb JIG. Take out the battery, sim card & sd card, plug in the Usb JIG & put the batter back in. Give it a couple of seconds & I'tll enter recovery mode without pushing any buttons. You dont even need to push the power button, it's that simple.
Here is an image of how to make one if you are electronically inclined, personally I am not so I found a local electronic parts store & they put on together for me.

If you want, you can also buy one online, I cant post a link becuase Im a new member but just search for "samsung usb jig" on ebay.com & youll find plenty.
shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=samsung+usb+jig&_sacat=See-All-Categories
yes, i think you need to build a jig or buy one online if you want to play with custom rom. you may not need it now, but you may need it just in case.

thx so much for your post
I have the same problem, i can get into recovery mode. I can also get to download mode but Odin doesnt see my phone and neither does adb. By pulling the battery with no buttons pushed it goes straight into recovery mode. Looks like I have a brick now. If anybody has any suggestions please let me know.

That's not even close to a brick. Are you using a usb port closest to the motherboard on your pc? Is your cable good? Make or buy a jig, that will put your phone into download mode.
