[Q] My galaxy s goes to download mode instead of recovery mode!

My galaxy s goes to download mode instead of recovery mode when i hold the three buttons. No usb cable is connected. I really need to fix this. can somebody help?

you're holding volume up right?
If not, do so! If yes, try the Down to see if you get in download mode.

I strongly believe you hold the wrong button combination, buddy.
Hold Vol UP + Home + Power button,
release all 3 buttons when you see the I9000 screen

when i hold those 3 it doesn't go recovery. it just normally boots

Hold em until the samsung logo flashes (shows then blank then shows again) then release ONLY the power.

if you can't get into neither download nor recovery mode, you need a 3 button fix. BUT before you do that, Please double confirm that you can't enter both modes.

Same problem right here. Any idea?

What have you done before facing this issue?
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium

In my case, volum up button doesn't work, and phone doesn't enter in downlaod model, just in some emergency mode arm9... something like that. I try to update software, i think because it's some software problem. After that, everything ok (start downlaod mode with kies, and update with odin). Odin show pass(isn't first phone that I update with odin, but everything before was ok). When phone start, show this .... and i don't know what should I do. Any help, any idea?

Be careful and press only vol down and not both volup and down...try.

Before, I update with odin: Galaxy S, Galaxy gio(2x), Galaxy ace(3x), another galaxy mini, with odin.

Weird it is then, cuz i know holding volup+down+home+power will get u to emergency download mode...whatever that is.

It's possible.The person who gave it to me to make them update said the volume up button does not work very well. Be a reason? Phone also have another problem, battery drain, in 5 minutes, battery goes from 70% to 20%. Wipe battery stats in CWM should resolve this? 100% probably no, but something?

Im having the same problem, I get "lcd_backlight_ctrl start" when im trying to turn my phone on, can only go to Emergency download mode
I have firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551586 and i get this error after i tryed to go to recovery mode (Clockwork recovery not flashed)
EDIT: Got into normal download mode, reflashed roms, now its working fine. Apperiantly theres a problem with my "Volume up" button.

For future
This combination which u have triggered is: Volume up + menu + power or just Volume Up + power

it's so easy bro.
you just have to put off your battery from your phone and then put it in to the phone, finally you have to press vol down+power button until the phone logo is shown up

[Q] Bricked i9000?

Hi there!
Bit of a problem with my Galaxy S. Had Darky's Rom 9.4, but I wanted update to 11. Somehow everything didn't work as intended, after wiping cache and dalvik-cache the phone didn't start at all. Just Samsung screen when booting, after 2 hours I called it a brick.
So I unbricked it by installing stock rom. Well, at least I can make calls and send sms. But there is some issues:
1. Volume buttons and home buttons doesn't work.
2. Impossible to charge the phone. If I insert charger, I cannot even boot it. If phone is turned on and I put charger in, 5 seconds and it will turn off.
Of course, I can't get into recovery mode, although CMrecovery is in there. It's just because of the button mappings which is screwed up somehow. Flashing stock firmware doesn't work either, because phone will crash after inserting the USB-cable. Downloadmode is accessible, but crashing in 5 seconds.
Bit of stuck here. I know, RTFM when flashing but too late for now. Is there any way to get full wipe? Scripts or something? Apps?
...oh wow.. it was my friend who flashed it with "stock" firmware, but it says i897 in about phone.. No wonder why nothing works.
SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
2.3.5
I897UCKK4
2.6.35.7-I897UCKK4-CL614489
GINGERBREAD.UCKK4
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

so you got a captivate ROM on an i9000? ,
try
1. Remove the battery, external SD card and SIM card.
2. Press power button without battery for 20 seconds.
3. Open odin3 with i9000 gingerbread JVU Stock ROM selected, Follow

Hi xsenman,
Thanks for reply. Don't know what you mean captivate but yeah, it's incorrect ROM and probably kernel as well, but it's working somehow.
Will have a look on those instructions you provided. However, I managed to get into recovery mode. In i897 it's both volume buttons and power. So the volume buttons actually work. However, I cannot choose wipe because they are not working in recovery mode. :silly:
I'm able to have internet connection, so maybe I'll try with Quick Boot or Hot Boot.

Gear without recovery

Welcome!
Sorry for my english. So many months ago i update my Gear software with Odin with working recovery. This is working well but i checked restart gear in odin. Yes i know this is my fault... So Odin is update my software and restart without recovery update. Now i can't back to recovery with long press power button. I only see restart... and black screen and... restart... and black screen. So no recovery, no odin, no cydia impactor... no connect to sdb.

Please help!

Have you tried reflashing twrp recovery with Odin?

To reflash need recovery mode. Or no? In Odin when i plug the gear i no see green box. Only a text message. Connected. But this is not enught. USB debug mode on.

Does it still have the original operating system on it? Does it boot properly? If it does is it running tizen or android?

Yes it's working on custom Tizen rom. When i install this i messed up recovery i should think. My goal is to pair with my THL T6 Pro but Gear manager not working on it. I't stuck at white pair screen. Just wait...and wait... I try many solution. without success.
So now the only way to bring back to life is this: http://blog.laptopmag.com/how-to-root-galaxy-gear
But i unable to use this without odin. This is a story

What happens when you hold the power button down and it reboots? Are you pressing the power button lots of times?

Oh i forgot pressing power button many times. Now i see a menu with options. Thanks

I had the same problem. Im glad it was answered. SO after entering the menu, how does the device select that option.

From memory...... Pressing it moves the cursor long press selects whatever it's on.

I try this procedure now: http://blog.laptopmag.com/how-to-root-galaxy-gear
I'm on Tizen.
Set USB Debug on. Im on point 12. Open Cydia Impactor and try to send command but i see an error: No device
It is working many months later when i'm on Android. So the question is i downgrade to Android ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53237481&postcount=1 ) and after open Cydia Impactor and send su command?

Have you downgrade to android? You'd need to do that first. If you're on android you can check the connection using adb.

[Q] - HTC One (M7), Stuck in Bootloader.

Hi all,
Apologies if I don't include all the information you require, first time posting in here. (I'll add some screenshots tomorrow evening)
I was attempting to unlock the boot loader to begin the process of installing Cyanogen Mod onto the device. After powering down and entering the bootloader(?) I have been unable to select any options and can't get out of it. It appears that the volume up button works, but the volume down and power buttons do not. The device isn't recognised when attached to a PC either. Not really sure where to proceed from here and any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Gurk

Hold the power button to reboot the phone in the OS. Then get your volume button repaired, you'll need it if you start flashing stuff, even unlocking the bootloader will requires to use the volume down button.

Holding the power button does not reboot the phone into the OS. The volume buttons do work as does the power button, however in the bootloader only the volume up button appears to work. (Sorry that I did not make that clear in the original post)
