Can you get into recovery? That is volume up + home + power
You are a genius in trying to use vooodo made for I9000 i assume!!!
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App
am sory but i did not know and i cant go into recovery mode worst everytime booting my galaxy s i9003 its showing the black screen of death
firstly dont panic....We do make mistakes and when we panic we dont follow steps correctly... Take out battery and press power key for 15-20 sec....Then insert battery and try to go to download mode...
ron is right....you might have tried to flash vodoo for 9000 and might have corrupted your system...in this case you need to go to samsung service center and tell them that you were playing a game or something and phone switched off...After wards you are trying to boot it and its not coming up...
THis is the only way you can get warranty....Regarding your father....You should be spanked
Remove your battery...put it back and try going into download mode..

its showing the same as for warranty my phone is rooted does that void my warranty ....i tried removing my battey and put it back when turning on its showing the same black screen of death O_O

now what will i do -_-'' !!!
Wow, if you flashed a I9000 kernel, then your a goner. Make sure you hold the vol down+home first, then 1 sec later, hold the power button till you see the yellow triangle pop up. It will work. You aren't doing it right.
On another note, Father's hand is itching :O!
Are you pressing the right keys to get into download mode...first press and hold volume down...then simultaneously press the home key abd hold while holding both the keys now...press power button...release after you see a picture of download

what next ?
If you have got to the download mode then you can install either a stock firmware XXKB3 or try to do recovery.

Try vol down + home + power that should get you in to download mode.
cannot.....
those 4 btns : vol-up, vol-down, power, home.....
i try a lot of multiple sets within these 4 btns.....still the same....
even i did the special steps, eg:
after shut down, press vol-up & vol-down and plug in the usb cabel ;
press vol-up & vol-down & power until the AT&T logo appear, then release the power but keep hold the both vol btns........etc...still the [email protected]@ keep shut down itself.....

When I press volume up and volume down simultaneously and then insert my usb cable, I eventually get into recovery mode. I am trying to get into download mode (the yellow icon telling me not to turn off target). Do I need to download a fix and if so, would the one I searched for below work? It's a brand new phone so I don't want to brick it and I'm wondering what steps I should take next. What is the latest method that works for the captivate to get into download mode? Thanks. I have an AT&T captivate on 2.2 firmware.

(I have also tried Press and hold Volume-Down + Home + Power at the same time, but this just brings me into the phone regularly. I heard this was another way to do it)
That's odd, that should be the combo. Are you certain this is new phone that hadn't previously been on custom ROM? Is it kb1 or kb2 firmware?
Best option may be build, or buy a jig. Mobile Tech Videos has premade jigs for about $8, I think.

Do not flash the 3 button fix it will brick your device. Flash gingerbread bootloaders and it will fix it.
GingerBread drivers are the solution to everything!

The answer to everything is Linux and Heimdall
Try this: turn off phone, pull out battery.. Plug in USB, hold both volume buttons, re-insert battery

yes, try this. And if you are on I9000 GB nitpickers then try [Volume Low pressed + Insert USB cable]

I have changed my rom from CM7 to DynamicIII. After rebooting phone got stuck in splash screen.
I cannot get into recovery mode using hard keys combination (volume down, home + power) or to download mode. Phones keeps getting stuck in splash screen.
Any help will be appreciated as this is my girlfriend phone and she will probably kill me if I wont get it working ASAP
Try a 301kOhms ressistor on between 4 and 5 pin at the micro usb connector. Or just buy an usb jig from ebay. It works.well.
May the force be with u.

Either buy usb dongle or try the following
Remove your battery
open odin
connect phone with you computer
hold vol down+ home + power
then insert the battery while holding these keys
If this is working then you are lucky. Otherwise buy USB dongle..
Hold the buttons as if to go into download mode for about 5mins. Trust me it works I did it the other day

Thanks a lot for all your replies. I did order usb jig on ebay. It did cost me about 3£. As soon as I get it I'll have a go with Odin.
Fingers crossed
I have received usb jig bought on ebay and everything went smooth.
I plugged usb jig power on phone and it got me into download mode.
Next I have flashed stock firmware using Odin and now I have working galaxy
Stock firmware list and odin guide can be found here:

OK, so, I did something really stupid from not paying attention. On my captivate, I had slim bean(I9000) installed. I was flashing different kernels to find out which one suited me best. I accidentally flashed this corn kernel that I originally used to root with and now it refuses to fully boot through the kernel. It won't let me in to my recovery or download so that I can do another flash... black screen only. This happened just a few months ago and I have yet to get it fixed. Anyone ever do this before? My searches have lead me to dead ends, any ideas? Also, nothing happens when I attempt to power on while it's plugged in.

Well, if u cannot use the button combo to get in download mode, then u need a Jig.
See my signature link below for links on how to make a Jig and/or where to buy one.
Also, did ya take a look at this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33227541
Do u remember what bootloaders u had flashed last ? i897 or i9000 ? Button combos are different for those, to get into download or recovery.

Yes, if you are on i9000 bootloaders:
Recovery = Volume Up + Power, continue holding for a few seconds after phone powers on then let go of power button
Download mode = power off and insert USB cable, hold Volume Down + Power while inserting battery
i897 bootloaders:
Recovery = Volume Up + Volume Down + Power, let go of power button shortly after phone powers on
Download mode: battery inserted, Volume Up + Volume Down while inserting USB cable
Other different methods for download mode
4-2ndtwin also has links to stock ROM/kernel in his sig. And the link in his post above has all the info you'll need about download/recovery modes anyway... thanks for being so thorough
