[Solved] can not boot into recovery or download mode - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have changed my rom from CM7 to DynamicIII. After rebooting phone got stuck in splash screen.
I cannot get into recovery mode using hard keys combination (volume down, home + power) or to download mode. Phones keeps getting stuck in splash screen.
Any help will be appreciated as this is my girlfriend phone and she will probably kill me if I wont get it working ASAP

Try a 301kOhms ressistor on between 4 and 5 pin at the micro usb connector. Or just buy an usb jig from ebay. It works.well.
May the force be with u.

Either buy usb dongle or try the following
Remove your battery
open odin
connect phone with you computer
hold vol down+ home + power
then insert the battery while holding these keys
If this is working then you are lucky. Otherwise buy USB dongle..

Hold the buttons as if to go into download mode for about 5mins. Trust me it works I did it the other day

Thanks a lot for all your replies. I did order usb jig on ebay. It did cost me about 3£. As soon as I get it I'll have a go with Odin.
Fingers crossed

I have received usb jig bought on ebay and everything went smooth.
I plugged usb jig power on phone and it got me into download mode.
Next I have flashed stock firmware using Odin and now I have working galaxy
Stock firmware list and odin guide can be found here:

[Q] Stuck in AT&T Screen boot loop, can't get into either recovery or download mode

[Q] Stuck in AT&T Screen boot loop, can't get into either recovery or download mode
I went back to stock (or tried to) and after Odin was done the phone just stuck in the AT&T boot loop, download mode is not working (it was working before so I know I am doing the right combination/timing) doing endless combinations of Vol-/Vol+/Power doesn't seem to get me into recovery mode-
I put my girlfriend's captivate on Continuum over the weekend so I'm sure I'm pressing the right keys to get into download mode, but I get nothing but the battery.
I do have the Android SDK in my computer but I'm never able to get past that naggy screen, so I can't do a 'adb shell reboot recovery' is a JIG my only option?
To recap, can't get into download mode and pressing volume up / volume down and power buttonuntil the AT&T screen and then release the power button doesn't get me into recovery mode.
Need help!
I've been in the exact same situation.A jig is most probably the only option.
Many people have had this problem and find that a jig is the answer.

first try with just holding vol buttons and then inserting USB cable...hold vol buttons till its goes into download mode or the screen changes..if not then try following steps...
1. remove the usb cable, battery, sdcard, SIM.
2. wait 10 seconds, then insert the USB cable.
3. press and hold the 3 button combo while you insert the battery
4. continue to hold until phone's screen goes black twice and release power button.
5. timing is critical, it may not work the first time. Keep going until you see the COM port is connected properly.
still no Dl mode..then buy a jig or make one yourself
Right so I'm download mode now, but every time I go back to STOCK I'm re-stuck in the same loop, seems that I can't get out of it.
I got into download mode with a JIG, but still can't see my phone from my computer, so I can't run the adb shell to get it to boot in recovery mode
I'd appreciate any help you could give me!

Restart your computer, use a different usb cable, a different usb port. if that doesn't work, unistall the drivers and reinstall, restart your comp and try again.
For anoyone that might find this thread, Odin 1 Click didn't work for me, so I flash back into stock using Odin (not the 1 click version, another one), here are some links that proved to be very helpful (I ended up Flashing to Serependity 6.4):

I had the same problem just a few weeks ago.
The problem is once you start using 2.2 you can't use ODIN 2.1 anymore.
This is the one that worked for me I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears(1)

this is actually a false statement.
i can still use odin 2.1 after flashing 2.2 roms and even stock 2.2 upgrades
Anyone thought about trying Heimdall if Odin doesn't work?
Yes, i tried using heimdall and that didn't work. I'm wondering what leopic did to fix his, if you could list the steps instead of the links that would help a lot!
stuck in att screen and battery loop
so i have tried searching for threads that match the issue i am having and some of them do and some doent so i have decided to post this. i tried flashing back to stock from a custom rom i was using. i used Odin to do this. i didn't work so i tried it again, same result. it dosent boot just sits at the captivate splash screen. i tried using a different oden tool and after that it just loops through the ATT splash screen and if i have the usb cable plugged in, it just loops the battery screen. im not even sure if it charges. i have tried everything i can find to do to get the download mode to come up and nothing, just loops. i have not tried the jig on this phone yet b/c i haven't made it to radio shack yet to pick the resistors up. is that going to be my only option?
what rom WERE you on?was it cm7 or miui?
Connection Issues? < click here for information on download and recovery mode....
information you should have had BEFORE FLASHING your phone..
i was on serinity 6.2.
i have tried all possible ways to get into d/l mode that i have found
so from the link provided
FROM A POWERED-DOWN STATE - BATTERY REMOVED
- Insert battery, then press and hold Vol+ and Vol-, then insert your USB cable..
goes into battery loop
- Press and hold Vol+/Vol-, Insert Battery, Insert USB cable
goes into battery loop
- Press and hold Vol+/Vol-, Insert USB cable, Insert Battery
goes into battery loop
- Use a 301Kohm jig between USB pins 4-5 (can be manufactured jig or homemade chain of resistors)
have not tried yet

You safe my Note.. Many Thanks
I thought I lost her x_x
I had this problem before
Users - I am new on this forum and I know this thread is old however I had this problem and it resolved itself. Here is how.
Background: I tried to charge my ATT Captivate using a Nokia microUSB charger that was plugged into a 120v outlet. After a few minutes of charging, the phone would no longer boot past the ATT World Phone screen. Afterwards I tried everything under sun to get a computer recognize the phone so I could reflash the ROM. Nothing worked (different computer, different USB cables, reinstalled the Samsung drivers, etc....).
Resolution of Problem: As a last ditch effort, I tried charging my phone with the same Nokia microUSB cable that appeared to cause the problem in the first placed. This time the Nokia USB cable was plugged into my computer instead of the 120v outlet. My computer had the Samsung phone drivers installed. To my amazement the phone booted up after I unplugged it from the USB cable and all is well.
I am not sure what happened but my Captivate is back with no damage. Hope this helps some poor soul who is trying desperatley to get a computer to recognize a phone that for no apparent reason will not be recognized.

Recovery with jig?

Since we can force dl mode with sa jig, is it possible for a differently configured jig to do the same with revovery mode?
What are you trying to do?
Think about it, if you need a jig that likely means your software on your phone is toast, so would be recovery
If the phone can boot you can use abd to force recovery

you can unbrick you galaxy S without jtag or jig , here is the steps:
1- Start Odin
2- Attach the USB cable to the PC (DO NOT ATTACH IT TO THE PHONE)
3- Press and hold "Volume up" and "home" buttons
4- Attach the USB cable to the phone while holding both buttons
5- The phone will enter in download mode
Install a new firmware and everything is going to be OK

misinformation! Thanks for shutting it down. I'm soft bricked since Thurs. I do not need try what is incorrect..
While I ordered a jig Friday, I'm two hundred 3button + usb, + battery attempts later and only one DL mode, and that fruitless for other reasons..

Jig is amazing! Now Monday and I got the mail. One try, and into Odin 1.82 and I even completed the talon1.3 kernel load.. All in under 60 seconds, when I spent the whole weekend bruising my fingers trying to get into DL mode and worrying about whether I was more than soft bricked. I had gotten into DL mode twice in the 4 days with no progress in Odin.

Power Button Problems

Im running cm7 on my captivate and my power button just stopped working. The phone refuses to go into download mode via any methods. I am just trying to get it back to stock so I can take it to the att store and have it replaced under warranty. Anyone know any ways to do this? I cant even use clockwork mod without power button. Apps like root toolbox that can reboot into download mode wont get into download mode either.
Thanks
it seems to me like you need a jig but also this goes in q/a not dev. if you are on cm7 (whith the old bootloaders i assume) the way to get into dl mode is hold both volume buttons and plug it into usb
Remove battery and unplug USB, insert battery, press volume up+volume down and connect USB while holding both volume buttons - this should boot you to the download mode so keep your one click open.

But when I press volume up home and power odin detects it
heyy, the problem already has a solution?
my phone S5570 also has the same problem, black screen, can not go into recovery mode or download mode.
but go to RAMDump (vol up + home + power) and connect it to my PC, my S5570 is detected by the PC and odin, but can not flashing my rom.
stuck in "Setup Connection" I know it because my phone is not in the download mode.
whether the USB JIG is the right solution?

(I think this set of steps works in these
conditions: Hard-brick, absolutely non-
responsive to any button combination.
Odin still recognizes the phone when
connected through USB port)
1.- Remove both the SIM card and de
microSD card.
2.- KEEP YOUR BATTERY REMOVED
3.- Apply the Download-mode button
combination (known by you all)
4.- WHILE HOLDING THE
COMBINATION, insert the battery, and
keep the buttons pressed untill you get
the download mode.
5.- Flash your phone with a valid
firmware through Odin (Preferebly,
have Odin prepared before doing this
trick).........
hit thanks if this helped you and others....

Boot mode or recovery mode does not.Only works is a combination of "home + vol up + vol down" moves into some mode where it while Odin detects the two com ports, but nothing to do, Odin hangs on setup conection.

(I tried with around 3) and I connected my phone to my laptop and help down power + home + vol up and it does not recognise my device but when i do power + home + vol up + vol down it recognises it. I then used Odin to recover it but I have tried over 50 times and it is always stuck on "Setup connection...". Can someone please help? I have already tried re-installing Samsung USB Drivers. Still not working. Please help and thanks!

Only hold vol up+home+power and THEN connect it if download mode works. I mean if it's recognized by the computer, download mode has to work, there is no way. If it does, then flash a stock ROM.
Oh and also something: before doing this, pull out your sd card and even your sim card. The same thing happened to my phone and Odin could flash it after removing everything.

There is another way that u can try:
(Asumming that samsung mobile drivers are installed, with no Samsung KIES... & odin running in the foreground.)
*Remove sim, sdcard & battery.
*Now connect ur phone(without battery) to pc via usb cable.
*Now press the usual download mode keys(volume down & home & power buttons) together without the battery.
*While still holding those three buttons, insert the battery.
At this point Odin should detect ur phone so that u can flash stock firmware.
U can try this atleast since u r left with no choice:sly:.
Good Luck..!!:thumbup:
Hope this helps...!!

[Q] N7000 bricked and won't boot into download mode

One of my friends was trying to update ROM, but misguided and tried to flash i9100 rom to N7000.
Now the phone is bricked and can not boot even download mode, just black screen.
Is there any way to bring it back?
UPDATE:
I have tried to boot into download mode with black screen, just hold Vol-, Home, Power and wait for 10s, then press Vol+, and connect to laptop (sumsang kies installed), but odin cannot find the connection.
The phone gets hot when connected with cable, so I think the battery can still be charged.
