Wait a few seconds after turning it off.. Because the unit doesn't shut off immediately after the screen and lights turn off, and that can make it iffy getting into download mode..

you have 2 choices
1. for fast solution, return the phone to the store

thanks a lot

please help me

returning it to the store is the best solution.
no one can confirm if samsung will actually release a fix, but it's expected as they are aware of the problem.

AllGamer gives the best advice here Sunny.
It may be something simple but I have not heard of anyone else who could not restart their Galaxy S in the method you are using.

Personally, I've been able to make it into download mode, but not recovery mode. I'm 80% sure I need recovery mode for my root, could I be wrong? And forgive me if these are the same thing, but I don't think they are. I think there is a way to root with the download mode, but the translation for it sucks and I seem to be missing files AFAI can see.

There is a way to get into recovery mode without the 3-button access. I had to go through the same thing with my Bell phone. You need to download the android standard development kit (SDK) and possibly samsung usb drivers. With this from command prompt you can force your phone into recovery/download mode. Here are a few helpful links:
[New member, need to be approved before I can post links. I'll PM them to you if I can and update my post whenever I receive approval.]
I also really recommend you put your SDK right in the C: directory as it simplifies cmd commands. Also make sure to update the SDK when you download it, it's going to want to do it anyways. The above articles aren't very clear if you aren't familiar with cmd commands so I'll quickly explain it. If you put the SDK folder in your C: directory (no subfolders like my documents for example) then you need to get into it by typing " cd \sdk\tools " (at the command prompt screen) before issuing the following commands as described in the video and articles. Hope this helps.

Using the SDK will only really help if your phone's not bricked. If it is, 3 finger recovery is the only real way to help get you back on your feet.

HI all
i tried to return it to the store
but they said it's not a hardware problem
and it is not a necessary for user.
they didn't change it for me.
what can i do
and i found a way to root it..
if i want to fresh the rom without download mode.
what can i do?

I had the same problem entering into Emergency Mode or Recovery mode. I used this trick. Press Home buttton then without releasing Home press and hold at the same time Volume Up button and Power Button and when you see the Galaxy logo for 1 second release the two side buttons Volume and Power but still hold Home for 2 or more seconds till you see Android system recovery mode loading.

Some later phones dont have the 3 button mode automatically enabled. It sounds like its stuck in a boot loop. Try pulling the battery and see if that works. If not connect it to your desktop and see if the computer detects it. If it does you might get out the woods yet.
If it does go to this page and download the applicaton.
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...t-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-with-a-single-click/
Run the app and select root for 2.1. Hopefully it will reboot into Recovery mode. From there you should be able to apply the update.zip and reboot.
Good luck

[Q] Safe Mode on ICS ? How to enter ?

Hey I entered into a SAFE MODE where all the applications were gone.
This happened to me after a sudden reboot by the system.
Please throw light on how to enter this mode and how it works !!!

I don't think there is such a mode, unless... your /data/ is somehow gone?

There was such a mode on GB, and probably still is on ICS.
Dr.Ketan said you could enter the safe mode by either frequently tapping the menu button or keeping it pressed (can't remember which now) while your Note is booting.

Thanks Vijai but I could not make it work.

Yes it will switch off.
It's more like,
*power off the phone.
*power ON the phone( by holding power button+home button) = recovery mode.

U said ur phone was shipped with 2.3.6 so it is possible for samsung to have removed/blocked it but it seems very unlikely to me.
But u can try flashing to a different unofficial firmware frm samfirmware.
That should work.
does download mode work?
home+volume down+power

download mode works.
ill try this one more time.
any other root options out there?

nah, nothing. it wont go to damn recovery mode

Try with the Windows program called "Unlock Root"
It rooted my 2.3.6 from samfirmware
Just plug the usb cable to the PC without activating mass storage
And hit root on the software

2 things :
1. i pressed those 2 button along with the third one - volume up, and something showed in orange letters, but in both times i tried it just went along with boot 2-3 seconds later. it wouldn't stay so i could read what it saiz. phone just turned on
2.please give me a link to download that "Unlock Root" program

I did figure out how to root it but where i found it on here should mention to flash the bootloader cause you will get a security error if ya didnt i primarily use root for my wifi tethering when i need it

So there's no other way to root without flashing a bootloader and another rom? I really don't want to get into that anymore.

Same here.
Just want to stay with the stock v30p after rooting.
It will be great if tjat can be done

doesnt anyone know of another method, i was on that page last night for 4 hours trying to get it to work without any luck, updated drivers, was able to get phone to boot into fast mode, but whenever i tried to install the boot loader it would always just chill on waiting for device. few ppl said to unplug and replug, or manually put into fast boot but nothing worked for me, couldnt get it to install bootloader.

ok ive figured it out. I really hate when they dont post all the steps and cause so much chaos, this is what worked for me.
1.follow the links on post listed above,
2.install the flash program as admin on pc
3.with battery out plug in while device manager is open and right click on the driver that comes up and update it with the driver in hacker file
usb_drv_windows, a box will come up say install anyways.
4.reboot computer with phone unplugged then reopen device manager
5.run allinonep90.bat file, hit any button then when asked to wait 5 seconds put battery back into phone. the next page will pop up with a list of
options, select ICS bootload.er, i think it was 8 or 9 and click enter. it will say waiting for device.
6.now go back to device manager and there should be another problem driver cosmo, right click and install the same drivers as step 3, once
complete hacker will auto find it and install bootloader.
7.next step select option 6 for GB recovery. apparently ics recovery on this is for a custom rom. when its done reboot and put the ziped su_bbox
zipped file on your sd card and turn off phone by holding power untill its off.
8. while off hold volume down then hit power until it vibrates, may have to do a few times before it vibrates then release power button while still
holding volume down. when the silver lg logo comes up release volume down. and phone will boot into recovery.
9.from here navigate to where the zip file is and install, after it does it will reboot and you will now be rooted.
hope this helps ive seen sooooo many posts with ppl having same problem as me and no one posting accurate guides.

Got me through a good bit here, but I'm at the point where I can't boot into recovery. The phone loads just fine otherwise, but I can not for the LIFE of me get into recovery mode (to flash SU_BBOX). I've tried "Vol-Down + PWR", "Vol-down + 3D + PWR"... etc etc etc... I've practically tried every which way and button combination, but still nothing. What am I missing? Yes, I DID use the tool to flash a recovery. Also, when I try to shut the phone down, it won't stay off. It turns off for a few seconds, then boots itself back up. What have I DONE???

thats a bug with the bootloader, turn phone on and then hold the power button for like 8 seconds to turn it off, not t hrew the menu.
once its off hold vol down then press power button. and hold for about 4 seconds, if it doesnt vibrate to turn off, release all and repeat untill it does. it takes me about 2-3 times befor it vibrates to turn on. after the let go of power until grey lg screen, you will notice writing in the top left corner, then let go of volume button.

Help me.

I've tried countless times to root the device and followed the instructions precisely from the previous posts. I have also looked at other threads and can't find anything that helps. It would be greatly appreciated if somebody helped me out in rooting my device because a lot of the previous posts are slightly outdated. Maybe there is another method to rooting this device?
