stuck on android system recovery 3e - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys... So, I was trying to install a different ROM, but it seem that I ran into a little trouble...
Long story short, Im now stuck in the Android System Recovery <3e> and I can't do anything about it because the HOME BUTTON is broken for a while now...
I ordered a JIG from eBay to get into download mode and install a different ROM without the need of the 3 buttons combo... For now, I need a different solution, if such exists.
Thanks.

Half of the downloads there are dead and outdated.. I'll try to use Google to complete the guide but for now, if anyone has any other suggestions that would be wonderful.

maybe you can push a rom file like cyanogenmod to the sdcard via adb.
but this requiers root acces on the device
use:
run adb on your pc and connect your device
than tip:
adb push ROMZIP.zip /sdcard/
after that you

[FIX] Enable download mode by force adb push update.zip without permission

MY Phone Condition:
My phone was previously install with voodoo rom and use clockwork recovery to restore to my stock rom that i backup and it crash half way.
My phone was hardware lock this mean no matter how i press the volume and power button , i will never get into download mode. non of the method posted work !
My phone cannot use "adb reboot download" because there is no OS and it was stuck in the recovery loop.
It does not have clockwork recovery because i formatted my internal sdcard
If i do have clockwork recovery and i use restore image or install new from zip , i still stuck in the recovery mode after reboot several times.
My phone does not mount to internal sdcard because i don't even know what i did on this part.
I believe i screw up my partition of the phone.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
You need the Samsung USB driver and you can get it from Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
First Part
1. Download update.zip from the link below. This was post by another member.
The post is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804305
2. Place the update.zip in tools folder so you can push it into your phone by using adb command
3. Plug usb into the phone and your phone should be on the Android system recovery <2e>
4. Use your volume button to select reinstall package, don't press power button yet.
5. constant "adb push update.zip /sdcard" from computer , you will get permission denied.
6. While you are constantly pushing the adb command from computer. press the power button on the phone so it install update.zip from sdcard.
7. This is the part where it force adb push into sdcard without permission
8. once the update.zip install completed. unplug the usb cable from the phone and take the battery out.
9. put the battery back to the phone then press on both volume button.
10. While holding both volume button , plug in your usb cable and it will boot to download screen.
If you need use Odin to flash your phone to original stock rom. Go to the Second Part
Second Part:
If you get black screen with only 4 light on the bottom after flashing from Odin.
Follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728698
There should be T959-PDA.tar,T959-CSC.tar and T959-Phone.tar within the package.
Check "Re-Partition" , "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" check box. Use the PIT 0512 version. Use "PDA", "PHONE" and "CSC" from the link above.
After flashing with Odin, you will loose the download mode. repeat the first part and you are good to go.
Here is the link on rooting the phone

Im pretty sure hardware lock does not mean no recovery. Just no button download mode

You figure it out after all. I already stated the condition of my phone ! My phone was pretty bricked at that point. There is way for me to push any files into the phone because i don't have permission and my phone will not go to download mode by using the volume button. It just stuck at recovery mode.
There are guide out there teach you to use "adb push download". This method only work if you are in your phone and you turn on debug mode. My phone crash at the clockwork recovery bootloader. Then i formated my internal sdcard that hold the clockwork. next i push a stock update.zip that does not have su and busybox so i lost the capability to push anything into the phone.
no download mode , no permission, no sdcard --> You tell me how can i use the method that post few week ago ?

unfortunately, i was one of those careless people to brick my phone via Voodoo.
Firstly, i tried to "FLASH" the disable_voodoo zip file via Clockwork, i put it in root, and never created any folders. i knew i had to disable voodoo before flashing but my steps were wrong.
sadly enough, my phone was also HW locked, so i got it exchanged. now im not using voodoo YET and i my new vibrant can handle OC and has the recovery/download mode via buttons.

i use shell to create the file that disable voodoo. after disable voodoo , i was able to do restore and install new rom unfortunately after restore or install new rom , it still reboot into recovery.
I also forgot to disable voodoo, and this was before there were fix instructions posted. So i basically effed up my phone to the point of being stuck in the samsung recovery loop, no hardware download mode, no clockwork recovery, no update.zp, no adb download.
I really thought I had completely bricked my phone, I tried this just out of desperation and what do you know, push update.zip over and over and click and it goes through, which allowed me to get into download mode.

nice , you just have to re-root and install the new rom again , if it brick again , just use this method and you are good again.many of us forgot to disable the voodoo before we restore or install new rom and this crashes the phone.
Need some help really bad
Ok so I have a similar situation as you did (OP), only mine is a bit worse... In my irrational "in the moment" fear of the situation, I used adb reboot recovery to get into recovery mode (HW locked phone) and I did the option that deletes all the **** on the phone and restores the phone to its original format (I think it reinstalled the OS or something, because it looks brand new). So now, whenever I boot up, it does the annoying black screen with the 4 glowing buttons thing for a while, and then eventually the OS actually shows up on the screen. Then it does "scanning media" thing over and over again, but thats not the main problem. I figured, hey this isnt so bad atleast I found your thread and would be able to use your method to help restore my phone... the problem is that somehow my "settings" button is totally gone from the app menu, and I cant get it into debug mode, so I cant use either adb or your method or ANYTHING!! My phone is practically bricked as I cant do anything because its constantly laggy and turns back to the black screen thing, and then when it is showing the homescreen I cant do **** because even swiping to another screen takes like 5 minutes to do cause its so laggy. So basically I ****ed up, and I really need some help.. Im kinda a noob at this whole thing and im really outa options as far as I can tell.. does anyone know what I can do to repair my phone? Thanks!

[Q] [i9000] cyanobricked

Hi there,
I noticed I can't get in download mode anymore. Whatever I try it won't show the yellow triangular download sign. It just boots into cyanogen.
I have tried the 3 button trick but recovery nor download works. That's when I had the idea to apply the 3-button fix. adb reboot recovery brings me in the cwm recovery mode. adb reboot download just reboots the phone. I even tried the 300k ohm jig which always seemed to work as a failsafe. That also just boots the phone into cm.
I have checked with my brother who also runs CM nightly 101 and for him the download mode works fine so it is my phone, not CM.
The phone works fine now, is rooted too so I wondered if there's any way to fix this by rewriting the bootloaders. I want to have this fixed as a failsafe is flashing ever fails or if one of the nightlies gets corrupted.
Is there anyone who can confirm the download mode is in the primary bootloader (boot.bin from a stock rom) and is it safe to just flash_image that to the boot partition or will that be a guarantee to brick. The idea is that I still have root console access so I have to fix it from there.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Tried the tricks with and without pc-usb/charger and it made no difference. The 300k ohm jig trick can't be done with power or computer connected since you have to use the usb connection on the phone for it. It usually was my ever working failsafe.
I also tried the quickboot app without any luck. It seems it is responding to the download command but the code isn't there anymore.
Hey try going into download mode by touch controls although I haven't ever used cyanogen but i assume as every custom rom has this feature cyanogen must also have this! The download mode option in quick network options when u press the power button for 2 seconds ! Although it isn't safe but you cab try this and then if it goes into download mode then their must a way to go into download mode manually!

Holding the power button for two seconds indeed brings up the profile/reboot/shutdown options. Selecting reboot only gives two additional options, reboot and recovery which do as they say. I can boot cwm recovery but from there I can't go into download mode either.

Tried it from the terminal with reboot download. Also tried adb reboot download long before that. It just reboots and starts. I have the feeling the piece of bootblock that's holding the download mode isn't there anymore.
There is an option in recovery to boot into download mode, Have you tried that ?
It sounds to me like that part of the bootloader is corrupt / missing.
Does the phone still work normally ? can you still continue to use it daily without the download mode option ?

The phone works fine otherwise. I just want to fix this before it stops working fine and I need the download mode.
Recovery boots into CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.5 which I got with CM7 with no option to return to the stock recovery or download mode as far as I can see. Also zipped updates from sd-card install fine from CWM recovery mode. If I just knew where to find a cwm ready zipped bootloader that will fix this.

Thats a good idea, I think that should be made, Would save a lot of hassle...
In my recovery under 'advanced features' the option is there to reboot into android or reboot into download..
In order to go from CM7 - Stock, do you need re-partition with all 3 files ? or can you flash it through recovery ?
If so, flash it to stock and sell it to someone who has no idea about Custom ROMs / Hacking. (like me 12 months ago )
EDIT: is this issue not kernel related by any chance ?

Well I have no clue to make any package and I don't dare to flash_image some random boot.bin.
My recovery -> advanced only has reboot recovery which brings it back into recovery.
I'm afraid bringing it back to stock also needs odin/heimdall, that brings me back to the initial problem.
Selling it gives me the money for half a new phone. As long as its working fine I'd like to stick with it. My worst case scenario so far is that I'm stuck with CM7 nightly #101 for the coming 1.5 year which is annoying but far better than the slow stock samsung hands out.
The issue can't be directly kernel or CM7 related. My brother has CM7 #101 running and download mode works fine with him. (And no I can't secretly swap phones ) He doesn't know how to work with odin so I arranged everything for him. Exactly the same steps as I did my own phone. Perhaps a glitch in flashing or something.

Hmmm... tricky one to fix..
I have no more ideas i think flashing bootloaders through recovery would work like you said, But unless its a tried and tested method i wouldnt recommend it at all.
Have you posted this issue in the CM thread ? perhaps you could PM one of the Devs for assistance, or whether the whole 'flashing bootloader in recovery' idea would work at all.
You have nothing to lose by asking them.
Hope you get a solution... But until them im out of ideas.
Keep us updated if you get a fix.
Good luck man !!
EDIT: one more idea, Sounds risky but.... What if you made a nandroid backup on your brothers phone and restore it on yours ?? Thats if nandroid does back up bootloaders im not sure

Thanks for thinking with me. I'll give the nandroid solution a go if there are no other replies within a reasonable time.
I'll post the same question in the CM forum but contacting the CM devs could be hard. They don't give any official support to nightlies and I can't say I'm convinced it has anything to do with CM at all. Though they do have the knowledge to answer the question or build a package to repair it. But you're right there's nothing to lose in asking.
Ofcourse I searched the forum before posting and found out I seem to be the only one ever with this problem. The solution could be as rare so I'll keep you posted if I make any progress beside here. That's what the whole idea behind this forum is for right?
True man !!
And if you get a solution or a dev to make a flashable bootloader. It could help other people in future
Good luck. Keep us posted

Hi! If it still doesn't work, try downloading ROM Manager from the market and install the latest CWM. It sounds like your bootloader got modified/locked.

Help with miui

ok i know miui is a huge rom for people i love it at times hate it at others. i updated it maybe 3 times since i got it but during my last update(back in aug) it wont let me in recovery to update anymore or change roms or anything id like to go to cm7 maybe or update to newest miui but i cant. any help would be great. if this is the wrong section please move to right one. thanks
Definitely wrong section and also be more vague please
actually no give us a description of what you have tried and what exactly isnt working
As user stated above you REALLY need to be more specific. What are you trying to do and what is not working. If this is rom specific issues this should be posted in that roms specific thread. If in the unlikely situation one does not exist post SPECIFIC information here and we might be able to help you through. The more vague you are the less likely anyone will/can help you.
Jug6ernaut
sorry thought i said (its been a long day) i cant get into recovery to update my rom ive tried 3 button (up down and power) does nothing. ive tried up down plug in usb. i cant even get it to download mode with a jig and i know jig worked before. id really like to get recovery mode to work so i can either update or switch to cm7 or another rom. i never downloaded gb boot loaders and i know ive updated miui and has worked flawlessly atleast 2 or 3 times before this happened. ive also tried a few other things mentioned in a mod fix for when the 3 button doesnt work. idk if its rom specific or not.
Use terminal emulator from the market. Once open, you're
su
Now give it superuser permission
reboot recovery
Phone should reboot into recovery
sorry but what is su? and do i reboot like normal? turn phone off and do 3 button combo or some other way?
You need to do a lot of research before you go any further.
su is for superuser.
reboot tells the phone to reboot
reboot recovery tells the phone to reboot into recovery.
reboot download tells the phone to reboot into download mode
Never use the 3 button fix. Even if you haven't flashed GB bootloaders. The I897 GB bootloaders are a much safer way to fix the 3 button problem.
ya i know all that, i didnt know su was superuser tho. it didnt ask for permission for superuser. so i just type in my command? and i got the free one there was a pay one
su <enter>
reboot recovery <enter>
ok and im gonna assume after it goes into recovery its like normal after that for how ive been updating my phone

soft brick. home button is broken so i cant get into recovery

I bought a galaxy note today used and the guy said the home button didnt work because of a software update. i did some quick research and took the bait. Unfortunately I have discovered it is a hardware related issue. I wanted to try one last thing by flashing a new rom over to it.
The bad part is I rushed and flashed a gb kernel ( abyssnote) and It wont boot. I cant get into recovery because the home button is broken.
Does anyone know of any other way to get into recovery? when i plug it in my computer doesn't recognize it so adb/odin are out.
Im trying to get my money back but i need to unbrick this phone
Can anyone help? any solutions?
Fixed. Please delete
took the entire phone apart and finagled the button into working 1 last time
Just for next time if you can get to the boot animation usually you can use adb and type adb reboot recovery.
I tried many times. Unfortunately i had no luck.
Horrible first day with the note but it's not going to put a sour taste in my mouth!

Device is stuck on logo screen and does not boot into CWM nor download mode

Hi folks, First of all I would like to note that I have not found similar threads to the specific problem I have encountered. and now to the problem itself: A few hours ago i tried to Root my device, and after I flashed the appropriate file using the stock CWM the device tried to restart but then he just hangs on the screen with the samsung logo of the device and not turn on. Furthermore I cannot get to CWM or download mode by the combination of the buttons. Any kind of help would be really appreciated as this is very urgent because I use this phone on a daily basis. thanks in advance.
Edit: I tried to remove and insert the battery several times but it did not help and stuck on the samsung boot logo again.
P.S. Sorry for the various spelling mistakes that I might have.

maybe it is bricked.
Seems like a brick if you cannot enter download mode. Can you list the exact steps you carried out? Which ROM were you earlier on etc...
