I did a search but couldn't find anything. Are there any button combos to boot into download mode or recovery mode or is ADB my only option?. I tried what worked on the GS2 but not luck.
Depending on the rom, it should be volume down + power. Hold both until the samsung logo flashes then comes back the 2nd time and let go of power, keep holding volume down and it should boot into recovery. You can also try alternating with volume up + home button + power, same method as above.

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. ):
Hi,
I've rooted my phone and flashed CF CWM into my phone. I'm able to enter CWM recovery via the CF CWM manager app, however when I tried to enter into recovery via the physical keys (powered down the phone, so press and hold vol down + home key while powering up), my phone just starts up normally and never entered recovery.
Anyone knows what happened?
Thanks.
First, the three button combination for CWM is Volume up + Home + Power.
Volume down is the download mode.
Are you able to get into CWM when not shutting down the phone?
Just hold Volume up + Home + Power for about 10 sec and hold the buttons until you see the Galaxy Note screen.
its working now, i pressed the wrong button combinations LOL.
Thanks for your help
Hello everyone.
I got a new Galaxy Ace S5830i today.
I rooted it and installed CWM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552792).
After that I did install Retribution beta 4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806471).
Then after rebooting I ended up getting a boot animation loop and neither the recovery mode would work nor the download mode.
Could anyone of you please help me? I feel very uncomfortable with a brick in my pocket. :x
I'd be surprised if neither were working, particularly if you are getting as far as the boot animation.
To clarify, to enter recovery mode: Switch off your phone (pull out the battery and re-insert if its looping and the power button won't work), hold down power button AND home/rectangular button AND volume up button. When you see the Samsumg GT-S5830i logo, let go of the power button but continue to hold down the home and volume up buttons for around 5 seconds then let go of everything. Recovery console should appear on screen.
To enter download mode: Switch off your phone, hold down power button AND volume up button AND volume down button. Warning about custom OS's should appear, followed by download mode after pressing volume up again. If this doesn't work try taking out battery, sim card and SD card, connecting USB lead (screen will be completely powered off) and then trying the key combination.
Hi!
I've tried all of metods, home + power, volup voldown + home + power, any combination of them. All I get is samsung la fleur logo blinks for 2 secs, turn off for sec and just boot normally. Any idea to get recovery mode?
EDIT: looks like vol buttons doesnt working, but why I cant get recovery mode?
Connect via odin to see whether it recognizes it while in download mode.Sometimes your phone goes into download mode but the screen doesnt appear..press vol up+down+power for 6 secs and then press vol up.Should be good to go after flashing a stock rom.

Here the right guidance:
Download Mode: The Middle of the Volume Button (IMPORTANT!!!) and On/Off Button.
The S5830i has a special Button sequence.
Recovery Mode: Volume up + Home Button + On/Off Button (hold this 3 Buttons till you see the Bootscreen for a second time)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Recovery mode = Vol Up + HOME + Power button.
2. Download mode = Vol Up + Vol Down + Power button.
If your vol buttons doesnt working, that mean you cant get to both mode because both combination require vol buttons.
It can be also that ur phone is going into download mode..bt u cannot see..(happened with many)
Press the button required to go in downld mode and connect to pc..
And c if odin is recozing ur cell

Hey guys,
I got my hands on a Razr i in complete stock mode. I tried every single combination of buttons (power + Vol up, power + vol down and power + both volume keys) nothing triggers boot menu. Any help?
