I am having issues with the power button as are most Captivate users. What I would like to do is have a soft key or app that would allow me to reboot, boot into download or recovery. I did see someone do it at one time with the power button its self but I can no longer remember where. Any help would be appreciated.
I am running a Captivate w/ Salty Bean V31 4.1. W/ Devil Kernal
PowerTool by flappjaxxx in the Play Store.

Wahoo! Thank you. Still having trouble getting into download without ADB. The app will get me into Recovery but not Download. It just goes through the entire reboot.

Probably just need to make and or buy a Jig for download mode. See my signature link below (if u r on a pc or open in a Browser) for info about.

Ya I currently have to use a jig or adb. I was just hoping for a soft key. However it is nice to be able to get to recovery with it. Thank you.

Three button combo to recovery
(volume and and down and power, when at&t comes up let go)
Install zip from sd
Choose zip
Find modem file
Select
Confirm
Back

DO NOT use ROM manager, it was created with the best of intentions but ultimately causes more problems than it helps with.

whoah.....this is false!
ROM manager has been around a lot longer than the captivate has.....and it works great on other android devices that ARENT samsung
rom manager is PERFECT for stock roms.
rom manager is bad when you have ClockworkMod built into the kernel already.!
ridethelight is on a bad roll today.
So how do i know if its built in?
Perfect 3g..little to no edge.. live in edge area.. bought the phone from a craigslist user needless to say in a 3g area.
About phone :
2.1 js5/I900 zsjpg
Kernel version- 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #27
Build#phoenix 6.0 js5..
Any suggestions ?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
you would check out the page for your kernel but yes it does have it.
and looking at your rom... ect. you have already flashed a rom/kernel/modem (all in one) package.
so ya go back to post 3 instructions. also to get into recovery just long press the powerbutton then press 'recovery' it is easier than the button method in post 3.
Ok thanks alot. U all have been a big help !

Hey guys...
I am a newbie who successfully rooted & installed cognition
everything seemed fine until I flashed a theme called
"CirclesMod_SGS2_Cognition_107blue-signed"
When I turn on my phone, AT&T, cognition, and Galaxy S show up
and then the screen goes black and phone just vibrates once or twice in a while...
My phone DOES go into Downloading... screen
I am not sure what my situation is... I could not find anything like this in this forum.
Help this newbie solve the problem..?
Ok so im the only one this late...bear with me kus im on my phone and i cant refer you to links...first of all...if you CAN go into download there is nothing to worry about...search on xda for "odin one click" download the package once you find it. After run the application and plug in your phone in download mode..you will see that the computer has recognized your phone when in the app thre is a little yellow box in the top left corner...after that hit start in the app and wait for a while until it reboots back to stock..hope it helps

isnt that theme specific for SGSII ROM?
Ooh that is a faaaaail
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
If you can get in to recovery you can just reflash that rom (assuming you have the .zip on your SD). Also its usually a good idea to have a stock them for your phone on your SD when you are trying out themes. Something in the framework isn't compatible, but if it really is a SGS II theme dosen't suprise me.
sigh.. i passed out and just fixed it
thanks guys!
going into recovery mode and reflashing the rom did it!
This isnt my phone but me and my friend successfully rooted his galaxy mini but when we flashed CWM we must have used the wrong one from the app and bricked the device or something as the device wont turn on. Is this bricked and if it is how can we unbrick it.
Thanks
If you can go into the download mode just flash stock rom through odin

The wrong one from an app... It sounds like Rom Manager. If I'm right, then USB jig or service.

Thanks guys, will the phone still flash even if the phone doesnt tirn on? I will try flashing with odin this weekend but if it doesnt work do you think samsung could fix it?
Sent from my LG-SU760 using xda app-developers app
To find out if it's a "soft brick" or "hard brick" try going to "Download Mode" on the Mini. Do this by turning off the phone simultaneously pressing the Volume Down + Power + Home. When prompted, press Volume Up to confirm.
If there is a Download Mode, the phone just got a "soft brick" which means you can fix it on your own. If there is no Download mode, you're pretty much screwed.
IF there is a Download Mode, then it means you can still flash a ROM/firmware via ODIN. But I suggest flashing the right CF root kernel for the Samsung Galaxy Mini first. That will probably fix the phone's failure to boot. If it doesn't reboot properly after rooting, then I would suggest you flash a new ROM/firmware instead.

Oh, if there is a Download Mode just as I explained above, you can still flash any ROM or kernel via ODIN. Cheers!

If it seems like you can't get into download mode, there is a trick (it worked for me, when I thought my phone was hard-bricked, but obviously TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Get a friend to help - it's almost impossible to do this by yourself (unless you were born with three hands) :silly:
Take out the battery, sim-card and SD-card
While holding down all three buttons for download mode (Volume Down + Power + Home), get your friend to insert the battery.
Keep holding down all three buttons until you see download mode (can take up to a couple of minutes).
If it doesn't work at first, keep trying - it took me about three of four tries before that lovely sign came up :laugh:
Good luck.
PS: sorry I really can't remember where I got this from, so can't give due credit. If I'm plagiarising anyone, please let me know and I'll fix it.
Hey guy's just found out how to get recovery mode on my phone. Download ROM TOOLBOX PRO, then go rom management, then press reboot recovery button, it will install it for you. You must have Root though. Please let me know if it works on on your phones. :thumbup:

Hold volume up, Home, and power button for a few seconds then reboot system again in the menu. It works just tried it.

Are you able to get in recovery or download mode?
Also, what's currently flashed on the phone?
CM10
can get to download mode but cant when it comes to recovery mode.

This is what it looks like when charging..
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
I am fairly sure that is not the CM10 charging image in your photo. Did you have a custom kernel running on top of CM?
If so, then check that kernel's thread for other ideas.
Also, if you only got into download mode with the vol button + insert usb cable method, then you probably have a bad battery. If you try to boot while on charger does it boot normally?
Good battery? Since you have download mode, you can try using odin to flash stock kk4 and see if your hardware is good. Wipes your data for sure.
