Download mode from pc (no home button) - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
I need to send my i9000 back to assistance and have to reflash it stock.
Unfortunately the home button doesn't work at all (that's why it needs to be repaired) and I don't know how to go to download mode.
Is there any way to go to download mode from PC?

Can you not flash it with kies
edit try mobile odin

did it with usb jig.
Thank you!

I know you fixed your issue with a jig, but wouldn't adb let you do this? Like adb reboot recovery? I've never tried download mode.

Odin wont recognize phone

My phone goes into download mode without doing anything. It can be plugged into the charger and it would go into dowonload mode, just the power button puts it into download mode too. I'm trying to flash it back to stock but odin would not recognize the phone. I downloaded and installed the driver for my phone and it is not working. Help?

Maybe there's something that's blocking your volume keys.. Keep pressing and letting go of the volume keys till they feel better and then press the power to power on.. try it
Drivers
Where did you get your drivers from?
If you got them from the samsung website, then Odin won't see the phone.
You need to get them from this website.
Here's a link to a post that has the drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
If you did get them from here, try to reinstall them.
If that doesn't work, then it's above my head.
So... never mentioned - was your phone ever recognized by your computer in the first place?

Yes it was. And i tried using a different computer and different data cable and neither one worked
And if I leave the phone in download mode plugged into the computer, screen goes black, out of download mode and back into download mode every minute or so.
What i did was i downloaded the drivers restart the computer open odin then put phone in download mode plug it in

If your phone is still functional you can enter download mode by using a terminal emulator and type reboot download or via ADB.

I got my phone into download using adb, thanks
You can do this with busy box scripts i think.

i hope so...
try and post the result..
I've read a bunch of descriptions on the vulcan-deth-gripp to get into recovery/download.
And had my fair share of failures.. What NORMALY works for me, (my $.02)
1: Make certain that it's NOT pluged in
2: Make certain it's OFF (unplugg battery if necesary)
3: Push vol-down (for download) + home
4: Press power,
5: Release power (and keep the others pressed) once you get a short flash in the samsung logo (normaly 1-2 seconds)
Viola..
If you keep power pressed, it will trigger another reset sequence...
/PS
@ PhantomSage Sorry that method didnt work..
And for everyone who has had this issue or is facing this issue, the USB Jig Method works I made my own and walla i had the phone working...god i am so relived, thanks everyone for helping me out...usb jig worked like a charm, its god sent..

Entering recovery mode

Long story short, i need to get to the Recovery Mode without using the hardware buttons.
My home button broke, i was trying to flash stock rom from pc odin (to sent it to warranty), and now i cannot setup my phone (i'am stuck at the welcome screen, some processes FC), maybe because i did not wipe data.
So, can i enter the recovery mode without the home button? Via abd commands?
I can only enter download mode as i do not need the home button.
Or, is there some way to wipe data / factory reset via download mode?
Flash simply wipe rom with pc odin.
But how can get.download mode without home button ?with jig?

I can't seem to find that.
No, pull the baterry, insert it, then connect my phone (while turned off) to the pc + volume down. Doesn't work with volume up tho
Find on post #3 of first link on my.signature, you can find some wipe ROM there.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
That's odd, because that's the stock ROM i flashed ( N7000OXXLB3 ) .. But i think it did not wipe.
I will try to flash it again.
EDIT: Same thing, it seems to only format cache?
This is driving me nuts , am i screwed?
No, wipe.version.should wipe.data too.
Just confirm that rom is.wipe or not
Extract 1 step deep (to .tar) if you can see.data.img file is there, then only it is wipe rom.

Thanks, let me try another ROM .
Ok , i'am a little stupid, did not see the (WIPE VERSION) all around the names of the ROMS lol . I will choose one of them
if you just want to go to recovery mode.. minus your hardware button... no need for all the hassles....
look for an app in google play called quick reboot... it needs root though but when you tap on that app.. one of the options there is recovery... you can boot your phone on recovery just by installing and simply using that app and with your phone(rooted)
He has already use pc odin to flash rom, so naturally.won't have root, and juat doing for warranty purpose, so i don't think he.shud flash custom kernel to get root.with pc odin, as in defected device, you can't take chance to raise counter.

The thing is, i don't have access to the system, i'am stuck at the welcome screen.
I'm downloading a wipe ROM, i think it will be solved.
ok doc my bad... I missed some points there..
Forget to select csc?

You can enter recovery with adb...enable usb debugging, plug the phone and open a cmd as admin in the pc. Then type: adb reboot recovery...Done!!
See above, i did not have access to the system
But it is solved now, thanks,

Bricked a I9000 with Vodoo

Hi all,
Yesterday i bricked my phone. I can't enter the download modus I hope someone can help me.
On the device was installed original Froyo 2.2
To root I installed via Odin I9000XWJVH_-_I9000XENJV4 and did a repartition > so far so good
after that i installed a kernel called CF-Root-XW_XEE_JS7-v1.3-BusyBox-1.15.3 via Odin > after that i only could update with update.zip. That was no option.
So i searched for a another kernel with CLOCKWORKMOD. I choose [KERNEL] Advanced Voodoo v666.1+2 (CLOCKWORKMOD 3/VOODOO SOUND/OC+UV) for Gingerbread 2.3.3. I installed voodoo-kernel-XWJVH-v1.4.tar. > He passed the flash via Odin.
Right now when i start the phone i only see the Samsung image and i can't enter the download or recovery modus. I hear a voice saying " convert data partition" then she said "not enough space on partition"
What can i do? Use a USB Jig?
can you enter recovery mode or download mode ?

Oooohps Sorry my mistake
You can try to enter download mode this way : pull out sdcard sim card and battery, open odin and connect device via usb , hold down the 3 button combo for download mode and put the battery back in the phone bit keep holding the buttons

Problem is solved. I installed KIES on my computer, after that my phone was found in Odin. In Odin i tried to flash back to the stockrom. Because i wasnt in download mode it failed / stopped. I disconnected the usb kabel and restarted the phone with the 3 button combo. And i could enter the dowload mode

Urgent - Gear has stuck

I tried to install a firmware viaodin but now the Gear is just in the downloading mode and nothing is changing - how do I get back to the normal mode `?
Odin should have restarted the device after the flash. Did you flash the firmware in the PDA section?
Make sure you have the drivers installed on your computer. Hold down power button on gear to restart

Did you try to do what the post above you suggested? No matter what holding power would get you out of an unsuccessful Odin flash. Or if anything use Adb there's a bunch of guides/ commands to use. Just search adb in xda (all forums)

Thanks for the reply, I tried holding power button which wasn't successful, it just went straight back to downlond mode. Just so we're clear this all happened when I installed twrp from gears sd card, would it make a difference if its from there or from odin to sort this problem out?.. thanks
