[Q] Need help fast, stuck in download mode - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

New tab 8.9. Was going to install CWM.
Booted into download mode. Launched ODIN. Hooked up cable. No yellow box, so ODIN did not see it.
Pressed the up button to continue by mistake. Was supposed to press the down button to cancel.
So now it is in the download mode, waiting for the USB cable.
How do I get out of this without damage to my new tablete.

Hold the power button? As long as you aren't mid flash it should be safe.

Help, choose wrong phone for ROM Manger and now stuck in Android Recovery Mode

Help guys.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate I897. Last night I installed the Clockworkmod ROM Manager in there and was messing around with it.
I choose my phone model to be the the I9000 and then I went into recovery mode to restore the previous ROM, but guess what? It went into recovery mode, the volume up and down buttons select the menu items and it asks me to hit the "OK key" to enter.
The Captivate doesn't have an OK key, it uses the power button. So the Android Recovery Mode here thinks the phone is a I9000 and I can't get it to do anything other than reboot into that mode.
I've tried using the ADB to try to get back into download mode but it's no longer reading the phone. The volume + power buttons to go into that mode has never worked for this phone either.
I'm at a loss at what to do. Is there anyway I can get out of recovery mode and into download mode or back to regular phone usage here? Would I need to take it to an android developer?
Thanks for your help.

Shut off the phone, open up odin(DG's flash to stock one) hold the power and the menu button. Once you see the ATT screen release the power while continuing to hold the volume buttons. Once odin recognizes your device flash to stock using the utility. Once this works donate to DG for saving your ass. Also, quit using ROM manager. Just use the update.zip method everyone else uses.
+1 for just using CWM update.zip It is sooo much easier/faster.
Thanks, but it didn't work. My Galaxy S is one of those where the volume + power buttons don't work to get it into download mode.
I did try power + menu as you suggest, but that doesn't work either.
try this
1. open odin.
2. With phone unplugged remove battery
3. with battery removed plug phone into pc via USB
4. with battery still removed simultaneously hold down Vol. + / - (forget about power button just hold down the two vol buttons)
5. While holding down the vol + / - insert the battery (keep the vol buttons down and hopefully DL screen comes up)

I cannot stress this enough.
Also, OP, if the above doesn't work, it might be USB jig time.
pwr isn't used to go into dload mode - that would turn your phone on.
Do this:
Open odin
Remove bat, sim, ext mem card
replace bat
hold vol -/+ and plug in data cable to computer
(should be download mode)
If that fails, then get yourself a jig... gotta search for the thread though - should cost a couple dollars. Then once you're back up... look up the thread to fix the 3 button combo.
You might try turning the phone off then hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER (not vol up/dwn/pwr) to get into download mode. Make sure to remove the sim and sd cards.
I bricked my phone over the weekend and had similar problem you did.the easiest way too get out in to download mode is a jig. Its easy and cheap to do.look on you tube under un brick captivate fort a tutorial.

Question about using update.zip to install clockwork recovery after flashing to stock (and avoiding Rom Manager):
Is rooting still required?

Once you learn that trick you are on stock for like 2 minutes before you flash
Yeah I'm kind of a lurk but I've been around for about a month just flashing everything, and I had no idea it could be done like this till today. Going to make my next one even faster.

Nothing seems to work.
I'm going to try the jig method Wednesday morning. Wish me luck!
I tried the jig and it didn't work.
What happened was that it got me back into recovery mode, not download mode. Tried it several times. So unless I'm hitting the wrong points on the phone usb plugin (other than the last two), I'm hooped.
I tried the direct resistor wire to points in usb plugin method. I didn't try the one where I cut open a mini-usb cable and use the plug as a dongle, although I think it may get the same result.
What do you guys think?

Try vol down + home + power that should get you in to download mode.
cannot.....
those 4 btns : vol-up, vol-down, power, home.....
i try a lot of multiple sets within these 4 btns.....still the same....
even i did the special steps, eg:
after shut down, press vol-up & vol-down and plug in the usb cabel ;
press vol-up & vol-down & power until the AT&T logo appear, then release the power but keep hold the both vol btns........etc...still the [email protected]@ keep shut down itself.....

[Solved] can not boot into recovery or download mode

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

[Q] Root method

Whats the best way to obtain root with out using ODIN??? Right now I cant get into ODIN because the power button is not functional. I tried to use the one click root but they didnt work. Kept getting stuck at step 7. I want root so I can use quick boot to reboot in to download mode. I tried to use the modifed 3e recovery but the batch kept giving me a fail. The thread said I didnt need to be rooted but when it looked for root it would just hang. So that didnt work either. Kind of stuck at this point of how to obtain root w/o odin. Its using offical ATT OTA 2.3.5 update. Never been rooted before. Thanks for the help.
To root gingerbread, you need to use the fugu kernel swap method. A simple search/looking through stickies will point you in the right direction. You will be using Odin, but you don't need to touch the power button. With the phone powered off,hold down both volume buttons and plug in a USB cable. You should be in download mode at that point

you dont need root to get into download mode... we dont use quick boot on captivate...
cant get into odin because no power button??? WTF... odin is on your computer. no power button required...
download mode.... no power button required...
so why do you THINK you need root?

Yes I read that the power button is not required but when I hold the volumes down it doesn't go into download mode. It goes in yo Android recovery (3e). Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I've been getting the same responses.. One click root don't work. Also when I pull battery ( to turn off phone) and pit it back in and hold the volumes up and down that's when I get in to the 3e recovery. Odin doesn't detect so I can't flash using Odin in this recovery. Thanks for the help but this phone was hard to root or get in download mode with the power button not working..he got an upgrade maybe I'll tell him to just get the galaxy note

Ppl keep saying that but hasn't worked for me. That combo just gets me into Android recovery 3e..i have read somewhrre that you should still beale to flash but Odin doesn't recognize so that's not an option...thanks for help anyway
Btw: the phone doesn't stay powered off. As soon as I put the battery in it turns on. With the cord in the phone and pressing the volume combo during that boot up it takes me recovery 3e

How about using "adb reboot download"?
Or maybe one of these other method:

recovery cannot be used as download mode. the soft brick screen can... PHONE /!\ PC screen.
when you updated your phone to gingerbread did you flash the captivate bootloaders or the i9000 bootloaders????
i9000 bootloaders could be your problem. download mode button combo uses power and vol dn

Not sure if you've tried this, but take out the battery, hold volume buttons, insert usb, then insert battery.
It would seem that the problem is in the broken power button...it's pressed all the time, so when using the correct button combo for download mode, it doesn't work because of the power button always being pressed.
Op, rooting your phone won't fix your power Button.
You could install Android sdk, and use adb to boot into download fwiw....
You should check out mobiletechvideos.com they offer a power button replacement service.

[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.
Try to reinstall kernel from sd card
