Are you soft bricked/bootloop or ?? If you are you can try to iniate download through ADB (I've not done it since my first root so search for more info) or get a jig on ebay (or make one).
Try recovery first though bud, because if you can enter recovery then surely you must be doing something wrong to enter download. If need be, a jig from eBay (£9.99) or ADB which comes with the Android SDK

in the adb shell, you can use:
reboot recovery
push enter, that s all !

So my vol. down button has broken on my captivate. In stock recovery it wont allow you to cycle through the menu by hitting volume up(the volume button that works). In order to root typically you have to scroll down one selection and select re-install packages to install SU, but seeing as how my volume down button is broken I cant do that. . . So are there any other ways to get root so I can flash back to cm7? Or even a method of simply replacing stock recovery since CWM recovery allows you to cycle through the menu by hitting volume up? As of now I'm a slave to stock, and it's no fun
I am not 100% sure... But can't you use the adb console and do what you need?

Thank you for confirming this for me. I was away from the computer and haven't had to use ADB in a while.
For anyone who is wondering. I found a way to root without the use of the volume buttons. By using a very convenient application. Here is a link to the site on how to do it.

Try holding it down for less time. When you see the Samsung screen let go. If you hold for too long it may just restart.

Try something like quick reboot app from the market and let me know...

if your phone can turn on normally, try to use adb command.
install adb sdk in the PC, then run command through it.
>adb shell
>adb devices (see if the phone is detected by adb)
>adb reboot recovery

How the enter to cwm mode in OB
Use volume down or up or what should i press it
Sent from my ST18i using xda premium
There is no combination.
Unles you have flashed e-recovery.
Or else you need to use an app or adb.
I have been root the OB and install superuser via cwm
But after that how enter to cwm if i reboot thw phone

Use an app or Use ADB
Hello mvoid533,
Let me help you. Currently, you cannot boot to clockworkmod recovery by pressing any key unless you install eRecovery by huexxx. Read more here.
The easiest way is to boot up normally. Go to Play Store and download an app call "Quick Boot". Run the app and tap on "Recovery".
OR, you can download terminal emulator from the app store. Run the app and type these commands.
su
reboot recovery
Take note, press enter after su and allow Root Access. Press enter after reboot recovery and you phone will boot to clockworkmod Recovery.
So there you go, 3 steps. You choose
Thank u
I'll try it

Anyone know how to get into recovery mode, seems there's no way to get in there. Tried vol-up Home & power button but nothing works.

Fore Recovery mode Use
C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies\External\FirmwareUpdate\GT-I8190\adb-windows.exe
command "adb-windows reboot recovery"
/Antte

Can you explain more details.
No adb-windows.exe this directory.
And what we do?
Read the build file damn.. we have full access to recovery .. on a powered on phone... forget the recovery ..
# Enable RecoverySystem to emit "factory-reset" reset string
# instead of "recovery" when doing a factory reset. This is
# useful when implementing factory reset without the entire
# recovery framework.
ro.factoryresetwithoutrecovery=true
Sry my harsh words
Recomend wiping phone before flashing anything to avoid errors , fc and bootloops from the settings meny.. there is NO button combination

If you do the adb reboot recovery just once you should be able to boot into recovery by holding Power + Menu buttons.
Are you sure?
Well I'm not a 100% if that's what you mean.

Another method
1. Up the new rom that is rooted by odin. That's mean your phone has rooted
2. You install quick boot app from the market play. Then open quick boot and hit recovery
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
yeah, it also works with rom toolbox (-> rebooter -> reboot in recovery) and rom manager (-> reboot in recovery).

You need ROOT
I'm currently trying to restore a broken Galaxy Mini with no menu button by installing CM9, but I'm having issues getting the thing into download mode, so I can install CWM via Odin. So far tried the combinations of Home+Power+Volume, and Back+Power+Volume with no results. Any suggestions?
Volume down + home + power should work

Not working, and nor does any other combination. Is there any other way to enter the download mode?

if you still on cm9, there's an option to go to download mode via reboot menu on power button.
if not, find a reboot app from play store..
I once broke the power button so I can't put the phone to any mode, imagine that.

Sadly the device does not have CWM or any other recovery installed, so using the CM power menu or a root app is out of the question. I'm thinking more along the lines of ADB commands, or windows batch files that could force the device into download mode.

But it normally do not works
