[Q] SGS 2.1, Can't use recovery mode or download mode, and won't connect to kies!?

Hey all I have a SGS on 2.1 update 1, and the 3 button combos used to work to take mt to downloadmode/recovery mode and now for some reason I can't.
When I try connect to Kies it says 'connecting' forever on kies and 'connected' on my sgs...
I have tried to download ROM Manager to install clockwork mod, and it says its all worked but it never goes into it, even when I try to boot to clockwork from ROM Manager.
Also I am rooted - (z4root) and I have installed SU.
Recovery jig as posted on the front pages .
Samsung Service centre if its stock rom .

Not keen to do any physical changes on the phone like taking it apart. If a software fix is available that would be great?

can you get into download mode ?
Or look at building a rom in rom kitchin and flash via clockwork recovery from internal sd card .

You have run out of options bar a service centre .

If you can connect the phone to the computer in usb debug you could use the adb command....or get the quickboot app it has the download and recovery option in it

From what I read your phone is still working so there is no way you need a jig. If your phone is soft-bricked then yes you will probably need a jig.

yeah the phone is working and doesn't seem to be bricked at all, i just can't change from 2.1 update one.
And sharptr it didn't work but thanks
Your posts say you cannot get into downloads mode but jig fixes that .
Nor can you get into recovery mode ??
Nor will Kies update .

Try cleaning port or adb
I was going to suggest something stupid but then I read the first post.
Instead, try cleaning the USB port with alcohol and see if that helps the connection. I am assuming you've removed and reinstalled kies and/or drivers until your blue in the face....
You don't mention if the computer see the phone at all - if it does adb approach might work to put it in download mode. If not try the port - can't hurt and even though I suspect it will only help one in a hundred it would have saved me a week of my waking life to have read that suggestion earlier on...

Unable to access download mode on 2.1

I did the Odin one click to bring my phone back to full stock after having issues. i then downloaded ROM manager from the market, since i am running 2.1 eclair i just flashed it via the app. now to upgrade to a new rom, i need to enter download mode. I thought you could always hold in the power buttons and plug in the usb cable, but that isnt working. this CWM version doesnt have a rebbot recovery option in advanced either. really need download mode, any experts got a tip or two..
You may want to check out the "Captivate Connection Issues" thread. That should get you to download or recovery mode.
Also, it's probably best to let go of Rom Manager - it's not very useful on the Captivate.
now i am at
phone--/!\--PC
and my computer isnt recognizing the phone, as well as Odin is not either...
I'd say to keep trying, and try Heimdall if you haven't already. The phone--/!\--pc screen should work as a download mode.

Yeah it didn't work for me as download mode. I just went to radio shack bought some resisiters and made a little USB jig that got me into the regular download mode though.

but my SGS bootloopin´ this.I have instaled Kies, and shut down Kies and Kies tray agent(Only for Driver to ODIN).But it didnt work, so i have linstaled another drivers, and nothing new.Phone boot up to download mode without problems, but cant boot up to recovery.I have to try tutorial with download mode(Like with JIG) without JIG and didnt work.So what must i do to save the phone?Thanks for all answers.
Not really clear but if you can get into download mode and Odin recognizes phone then flash new firmware. But I suspect you are saying Odin isn't detecting the device.

Buy usb jig on ebay, put it in downlaod mode and reflash some stock kernel. It should do the trick.

if you were flashing an ics based rom you need nexus s driver's on the PC for Odin to see your phone as the stock Samsung one is no use now.

I`m in trouble
Hi guys.
I can`t make my windows 7 recognize the SGS...I`ve already tried the USB_samsung drivers, even for Nexus...but the error 43 always appears.
I can turn on the phone in CWM but anything can be done, always data problems...so I only can put it on Download Mode, but I can`t download anything, the Odin doesn`t have a Comm Port communication.
I was restoring for Factory Default when it happens...I was using the MyUltimate 1.3...after I flashed the ICS RC 4.2...and now anything works.
Sorry about my English...I`m Brazilian.
I really appreciate any kind of help.
picture of my problem
I forgot to post a picture of the CWM messages...it`s attached...thanks a lot
