[Q] Can't get into 'download mode'

i've had my Galaxy S voor a few days....
the problem is; I installed a custom rom (Samset 1.9e) and booted into the homescreen, but when in the homescreen i get all sort of errors and i can do nothing.......
I wan't to flash back to a orginel rom but i can't get in download/recovery mode, adb reboot is not working either, because i can't change the usb settings, and can't connect to the computer (doesn't find the phone)....
can somebody plz help me ??

holding volume down + home + power doesn't get you into the download mode?
if not, return the phone to the store for exchange or repair.

Try holding the power button and the volume up button at the same time...hold both until recovery starts.

It was volume up and those two buttons. But when i go to install update from sd card and select it, it won't install it.

for galaxy mini to enter recovery mode press & hold power+home....to enter download mode press & hold power+volume down+home..
i dont know what mini version you are

1. Switch off ur phone
2. Press the power + center button at the same time.
3. You will boot into recovery after a few seseconds
4. If u press vlo down + power + center buttons, u go into download mode not recovery.

gingerbread 2.3.6 is your android version...when i said mini version,i mean mini model..sory

Entering recovery mode on Ace GT-S5830i, Xcover, Young, Y-Duos, Y-Pro, Y-Pro Duos, M-Pro (Volume up Button) + (Home Button) + (Power button)....so you are not on Mini

I did everything that the post said and it's still not rooted. It said install sucessful, but there is no superuser, and when i go to rom manager it says i have to root it. it was strange to me too, but even in settings it's GT-S5570I.

galaxy y uses a different button combo..
i think u need to press vol up + power + home buttons to access recovery when the phone is switched off..
or if are rooted, install quick reboot app from playstore and go into recovery with a simple click.

Turn your phone off. If you want to enter recovery mode, hold the home button plus volume up plus power button. Keep them pressed until the screen comes on. Wait for two more seconds and then let go. To enter download mode press the home button plus volume down plus power button. You should see an android with a warning sign appear on the screen.
There's no way to exit download mode, but if you are not flashing anything, it's safe to turn the phone off by pulling the battery despite what it says on the screen.

its already off i tried the key combo of recovery and downloading mode but there seems to be nothing happening after i formatted my fone through recovery mode

[Q] Bricked? If not, what can i do?

After installing Maclaw CW11.0 i decided to install SlimROM.
Now, It seems I'm in a Bootloop.
I'm unable to go to download mode or Recovery by using the buttons.. Vol Up(or Down) + Home + Power Doesn't do anything
Vol Up + Vol Down and then plugging in the USB cable doesn't do anything either...
I just see the SlimROM logo blinking for a while... then it stops... and it reboots...
Anyone any ideas of what i can do?

i think you forgot to wipe before flashing the new rom.
So pull out the battery, wait few seconds, put it in and try to reboot into recovery or download-mode.
Good luck

I'd love to do that, but how do I go into those modes if 3 button combo doesn't work nor vol up + vol down + plug in usb?

try this one (but without guarranty:
1. power off phone
2. remove battery.
3. plug in USB cable to computer and phone (with battery out)
4. hold Vol Up and Vol Down
5. drop in the battery while still holding the vol buttons
6. in 2 secs you'll be in download mode
Good luck

Thnx for the good luck
However, I've tried that method and it didn't work. I've ordered a USB Jig, maybe that can help.
Let you know

why cant you go to download mode
dont release those buttons until you go to download mode [do it when your phone is completly powered off]
did u flash three way combo recovery by benzonator

Not a brick only no system support
Download mode - use three way comnations only when ur phone is totally turned off and press and hold them don't leave them

I own multiple phones and tablets and I can get every single one into download mode. Just not this one. The three button combo does not work, not even when I remove my battery first. As soon as I'm home I'll make a small video of what happens.
Btw, the only mode I can actually get in to is: POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE
I get there by holding Vol Up & Power On
Any thoughts?

U r pressing wrong combination for download mode you have to press
Vol down + "power" + home and have to hold it to enter no s3 mini logo appears before download mode
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tdznfLJsyY
see in this video he doesnt leave power button
and after that flash 3 way recovery from this thread by using odin - download mode
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066407

@S. Phrenic
press vol up + menu + power much longer. The s3 mini logo appears 2 times and then recovery mode comes up.
if this doesn´t help, try ADB method
1. Download and install Android SDK
2. Connect the phone to the PC via USB
3. Press Win key+ r and type cmd
4. Type adb reboot recovery
5. Done. Phone should reboot into recovery
Good luck

In the video I'm showing 3 different things:
1. Vol Up + Power + Home
2. Vol Down + Power + Home
3. Vol Up + Vol Down
Non of them work. I checked your video, I don't see how I do anything different.
Duration change, check! I've now held it for 3 min.
I've got a S2 plus laying next to me and I can get into download mode without any trouble. This means I know how to get into recovery and download mode without any trouble.

Does my phone need to be turned on for the adb method?
it says, error: device not found
Kies doesn't see the device... because it's not powered i'm assuming..
Think I found my problem.... USB debugging is disabled... I think.... as I can't remember enabling it

Try emergency restore in Samsung Kies.

Yes it needs to be turned on to system with adb debug, or to custom recovery.
For emergency mode in kies I think you need download mode as well.
You don't need adb debug enabled to use download mode, but for some reason you can't enter dl-mode

You usually get the "setup connection" error when you are in the Emergency Download Mode instead of Download Mode. You go to Emergency Download Mode by holding down Volume Up + Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button in which it loads a screen that says "Emergency Download Mode" and you go to Download mode by holding down Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button in which it does load the correct download screen with the yellowish message that say "Downloading…". Please make sure you are going to the Download Mode. 'm sorry to say that you have hard-bricked your phone. If your phone is still under warranty, then you can approach a Samsung Service Centre. I have already suggested few solution to a similar problem, but none of them worked. Not even USB Jig. You can refer those solutions here. Maybe it will work for you.
