[Q] Galaxy s stuck in recovery mode (home button not working) !!

Hello,
My home button on galaxy s i9000 was out of order. Then i could not use three button modes.
I entered the phone to recovery mode using sdk but now i can not go out of recovery mode. The power button does nothing in recovery mode 3e . Then i can not choose the reboot phone option from menue.
I tried removing the battery for 20 minutes...also tried removing battery and pushing both volume up and down kies together and inserting battery but these methodes didn't work.
I can not use adb anymore as it can not recognize the device. Also odin can not recognize the phone...
What else could i do to get out of the recovery mode. I had official jpjf rom.
Any advice appreciated

My home button on galaxy s i9000 was out of order. Then i could not use three button modes. If its not working then you need the 3 button download recovery jig from the front page .

Thanks alot for the advice. Then you mean i should make a jig cable.? As i'm not sure how to make the cable ,is there any other way to flash....?

any more idea?

you can buy these 'JIGs' off eBay for peanuts.

alternate method
This method worked for me without any cable . Try it. You should at least see samsung logo on startup, wherein phone is stuck at recovery. And you should also have legitimate OS if you skip the recovery loop.
So, the phone also has a charging mode apart from all the modes. Take out the battery and make it completely off. Now, connect charging cable(micro-usb) to the phone in off position(I connected to PC). The phone will go to charging mode and wait until you see a progress bar and a green battery logo. Either press power button now to go to normal mode or remove cable and press power button.
After this, I went to download mode from OS and flashed correct image. But, your need may vary.

i got stock too in recovery mode . i rebooted through adb.thank God my phone reboots out of recovery mode

Can't get into download mode

Hey
I used cwm to install Darkys Rom 10.2, it said successfully installed unfortunately when I reboot it shows the at&t logo and then goes back to the recovery menu. I tried installing it a second time same result. When I try to go into download mode using these methods
"2. The Power + Volume Down Method: If the phone doesn't display the "phone-exclamation mark-computer" picture on power up:
Remove and replace the battery.
Hold the Volume Down button while pressing the power button until the "Download Mode" picture displays. Then release the buttons.
3. If the phone is "semi-bricked"; i.e., the "phone-exclamation mark-computer" picture appears on power up (perhaps from a bad ROM flash):
Be sure the Samsung USB drivers for the phone are installed on your computer.
Remove and replace the battery.
Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable. The "phone-exclamation mark-computer" picture should display on the phone's screen.
Hold the Volume Up+Volume Down+Power buttons down simultaneously.The screen should go blank, then the picture should appear again. When the screen goes blank a second time, release the Power button while continuing to hold the Volume Up+Volume Down buttons down.
4. If the phone does not allow you to go into Download mode after trying the aforementioned steps above you can try this method to "force" it into download mode:
Be sure the Samsung USB drivers for the phone are installed on your computer.
Remove the Battery, SIM Card, and any External SDCards.
With the Battery removed plug the USB into your phone.
While holding both the Up+Down Volume button and the USB is plugged into your phone - put the battery back into the back of the phone. You should see the Download mode screen pop up.
If you see the Powered Off Charging screen - attempt the above steps again."

it never goes into download mode, it simply shows an image of a battery. After a while it goes into recovery mode.
Any idea what I can do? I am still able to get into CWM, is there any way for me to get another ROM file in there so that I can try flashing another?
I tried putting in an external SD card but I can't browse it to use other rom files
If anyone has any suggestions I'd be very grateful
Thanks

In CWM, go to mounts and storage to mount your SD card and put another ROM on. Also, Darky 10.2 REQUIRES lagfix for data AND system which could be your problem now. Enable them if not and reflash

Is my Galaxy Note Bricked?

Ok here is what happened.
- I rooted my galaxy note successfully.
- Installed CWM through the steps described in this forum
- Installed Titanium Backup
- Restored CWM 5.0.0.2 APP with data through Titanium backup (which was from a LG Optimus 2X)
- Pressed Restart into Recovery Mode (Note: I did not FLASH the Clockworkmod Recovery, i simply pressed RESTART INTO RECOVERY)
- Phone asked for super user permission, i gave it
- Phone restarts, is stuck in a black screen with the botton 2 buttons lighting up
- Was stuck there for 5 Min so i took out the battery
- Now phone will not power on... with or without wall charger plugged in.
Is my phone bricked? Is there any way to fix it?
Many thanks.

What about download mode? Can u get in?

- Brain wasn't working and restored CWM 5.0.0.2 with data (which was from a LG Optimus 2X)
are you saying you restored from a non note backup image?
take the battery out wait 30 minutes and see if you can get into download mode

Could be probable that your bootloader is replaced, so yeah the chances are that you have soft bricked your phone and yeah there are definitely ways to restore it, so don't worry.
But see if your download mode works. press volume down+home+power all at a time.

i took the battery out for 30 minutes. Put it back in.
tried to activate download mode, there is no response.
normal power on wouldn't work either... sigh

Do you have a usb jig?

no i don't. should i go find one of those phone fixing shops? they usually would have something like this right?

I did some research on the USB Jig, is it sure to put the phone in download mode for a soft brick?
if so, i can just buy one off ebay or something.

Yes... i think you flashed another bootloader which does not support the three button combo. but download mode should still exist. The USB Jig will bring the phone to boot to download mode. It should work... if not, then you have a real bricked note

Try this:
- download and install KIES
- download and install Android SDK
- download and install Odin3
- open CMD (in Windows --> Start and type cmd)
- open Odin3
- remove battery in phone
- connect phone to pc via USB
- reinsert the battery in phone
- type in cmd:
Code:
adb reboot download
- looking for "added" in Odin3 (and Com Port)
- flash a stock rom for the SGN (better 3 parts and with *.pit)

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the suggestion but that didn't work. I guess i'll try the USB Jig tomorrow at a phone fixing place and if that doesn't work i'm not sure what i can do

Can you atleast access recovery mode by pressing volume up, home and power button?
..

I cannot access the recovery/download mode by using those button combo. The phone is totally non-responsive. Screen remains blank and buttons do not light up.

did you ever solve this issue?

so what happened... any update?

Endless Reset on Galaxy

Hi All, i have a several problem with my phone.
I tried to install cyanogenmod, with no results. The problem becomes when i tried to go back to the previous android (the original).
I tried a lot of times change it, but now i can't do anything because the phone restart automatically just turn on, and because that, i can't connect the phone to my computer via usb (the time between a restart and another is about 5 five seconds).
Other thing that i like to refer is that the phone can't start in download mode (i can do that before, via odin, but now that solution doesnt works since the last android change version that i do).
I hope that one of you can help me please, i don't know what i can do.
PD: sorry if my english is bad, i'm a spanish-speaking

Power down, Pull out Battery, Pull out Sim Card and Ext. SD card, press power button for a Minute than power up again to try the combo buttons again...
1) To enter download mode [volumedown+home+power] or as per your model
2) While in this position, insert the battery
3) conect phone to your pc
4) follow normal flash step by odin
hope this will help.

Thanks for the immediate answer!
I try what you say, but don't work
Maybe i dont understand good, do you say that i have to remove all (including the battery) and then press power button literally for a minute (without the battery) and then try to put the phone in download mode?
I have to say that my phone is unable to enter in download mode from factory (i can access to download mode with a modification with odin, but now i can't do that).
Neither can connect my phone to the pc, because restarts in less than 5 seconds and the pc is unable to detect it in so little time.
Again, thanks for the help

Thanks again, i tried that, but still with no work, the phone turns on, show the galaxy s logo, and then, reboot.
The only different thing that i can do is start up in the "Forced upload" mode, pressing volume up + home, then press power button until turn on, then release the poer button.
Thanks for the answer i'm grateful

do you have office firmware for your i9000 e.g xxjvu, if yes you can try this,
1- launch Odin
2- Put your phone into FORCED UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING
3- Connect the USB cable to your phone (Odin3 should display "Added!!")
4- Select your file PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC then click on START
5- Your Odin will stop on "SetupConnection.." Press Volume down + Home + Power and KEEP HOLDING IT UNTIL YOU SEE the DOWNLOAD MODE
