I have an SGS with
BB:
I9OOOXXJPP
Kernal
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
Build
Froyo.XXJPO
I am trying to install darkys rom V7 which looks pretty promising.
I have found out I need to install a kernal which has 2e recovery to which I found out I need to use the 3 button download mode?
I have tried every combination of button presses to get this working and nothing works
How do I enable the download mode? I Cannot find any answers in any posts just questions and more confusing jargon with no real explanations
any help would be appreciated

Some SGS sets have their 3-button recovery / downlaod modes DISABLED by the manufacturer. IMO the carriers ask the manufacturer to do so for them because carriers don't want us to install / flash new ROMs.
You need to modify the secondry bootloader of your SGS, if you want to permanently enable your 3-button recovery / downlaod mode.
To change the secondry bootloader of your phone, you need to put your phone into download mode, use Odin to flash the modified bootloader and you are done.
You will wonder how to put your phone into download mode when your 3-button recovery is not working !!
The solution to this problem is by using ADB (Android Debug Bridge). It is a piece of software which communicates with your phone at low level and can force the phone to boot in Download mode.
Well this is the overview what you need to do. For a step by step guide, you can search here or pm me. I can send you links on how to do it.
I have tried every combination of button presses to get this working and nothing works
Hold down Home button that's the middle button + Hold down volume down button that's the bottom end not top .With these buttons held down press and hold the power on button until the Samsung logo appears .
Release Home Volume then Power button .
If you do not now get the yellow download mode icon you do not have download recovery .

Yea I know that, but it wont boot to recovery or download mode.
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?
sorry if my language is bad

(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....

brick s5570
I have a Samsung mini S7750, in resetting to factory defaults boot.
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.
JIG does not work [resistor 301kohm].Display is black.

Help please
Hi. My S5570 is hard bricked. Will not turn on in any way i try. Does not go on download or recovery mode. The USB Jig method does not work for me. (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...!!

You usually get the "setup connection" error when you are in the Emergency Download Mode instead of Download Mode. You go to Emergency Download Mode by holding down Volume Up + Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button in which it loads a screen that says "Emergency Download Mode" and you go to Download mode by holding down Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button in which it does load the correct download screen with the yellowish message that say "Downloading…". Please make sure you are going to the Download Mode. 'm sorry to say that you have hard-bricked your phone. If your phone is still under warranty, then you can approach a Samsung Service Centre. I have already suggested few solution to a similar problem, but none of them worked. Not even USB Jig. You can refer those solutions here. Maybe it will work for you.
