[Q] how to get download mode without using jig?

Hi,
I'm now on stock ROM 2.1-update 1, I9000DXJG4 now i want to get download mode
so that i can flash any custom ROM, can anyone please tell me about the link to get download mode without using JIG??
Thanks.

Really? I'll tell you but you need a search key - its only here about 8 million times...
Vol Down - Home - Power all at the same time while inserting the battery. If it doesn't work - dont flash until it does.

Yes, it doesn't work, that's why i ask how to make it work.. I remembered i did that once without using the homemade jig.. but now i can't find that useful thread..

Volume down + home + power and you are in download.
If it doesn't work you got to make a fix through adb

[Q] V28c softkeys not working?

After flashing V28c, my soft keys (the ones at the bottom) are not responding ?? Someone else with this problem? what did i do wrong

Every Softkey or only the Home button?
Are the buttons vibrating if you press them?
Have you restored anything with Titanium Backup?

They all light up, but I can't use them (so, No vibration either). I used Titanium in the past, but not with this rom ?

Same problem for me.
But if the phone is connected to power cable, the softkeys are working.

I can only repeat myself. If v28c for whatever reason (i think a bad install without wipes/factory reset after first boot) or maybe you just set it to off in settings-> display, take an older v20x version and flash it using smartflash.

Just flashed V20o.. buttons are working, but not as responsive as when i bought the phone. Isn't there a build.prop tweak for the responsiveness of the softkeys :/

[Q]Shutdown animation

I searched and found that there are shutdown animations too usually present in system/media/video/shutdown or system/customize
i tried to search it on X8 roms but could not find them so wanted to ask
Does X8 support shutdown animations? If yes them what is the method to change the shutdown animation

try creating a folder in /system/media/shutdown and place a bootanimation here with correct permissions and see whether it works or not..

It works?

Yes it was that way in GB too, but i'm sure it doesn't work now.. i have tried every combination and order but without any result.. nothing happens, if i hold it for 1 or 2 or 3 secs.. it goes just to 'recent used apps' by holding it too long..
Does on anyway the manner of rooting matter? I've just selected the root.zip update from xda in the recovery mode.. (not the most usual way i think but it works fine, i've veriefied root acces)

First press home, than power and hold them for 2-3 seconds. If you press power first you will get event apps.

No! that was in GB. In JB, you have to press both simultaneously and hold.

Yes indeed they must be presses at the same time.. i practised lots and lots and suddenly clickk he did it, but it requires superprecise timing on my phone, so half of the times i fail... in GB you could just press the home button and then the powerbutton whenever you want, thats really much easier.. i don't understand why they wanted to make it such a though challenge in JB.. anyway thanks for the help!

to root it u have to be on the latest version of ur firmware i.e. 2.3.6 then u can easily go into recovery mode by power volume up n menu key combinations! you can upgrade ur firmware via kies or odin.
