I have had a VERY hard time trying to get into Download Mode until now. ive discovered a consistent method to get into download mode. w/o trying a million diff reboots while holding buttons
***First you must have ROOT***
all disclaimers apply to this method as well as anything modifying system firmware. If ur phone turns into an evil handicapped rabbit and breaks a window, its not my fault!!
Download Terminal Emulator from the Market
open terminal emulator
**you may need to change to default android keyboard for proper inputting
1.) type "su" and press enter
a dialog box will appear asking for root access and say yes (obviously)
2.) type "reboot recovery" and press enter
at that moment, ur phone should reboot into Download Mode to load Alternate firmwares for like Eugene's Vibrant4 ROM etc......
this it what it should look like...
#su
#reboot download
Problem Solved --------
To de-rail any flaming of ignorance. the 1st pic is Download mode and the second one is Recovery Mode to clearly show that they are NOT the same!! they have 2 diff purposes
...or you can download and install quick boot from the market which you then can make a shortcut to reboot into recovery with just one click

Recovery Mode != Download Mode
you can type adb reboot recovery
or you can type adb reboot download
each will boot you into the respective mode. No other commands needed.
This won't work if you've flashed a firmware that didn't complete and are unable to boot up. If ppl don't learn how to manually get into dl mode, whenever they're unable to boot up and get to a terminal they're going to freak
I posted a post already on how to get into download mode in this section (hardware style)
ths method is used because the hardware method for getting to Download mode (vol dwn+power) isnt consistent for EVERYBODY..theres eveb a video for showin a way to get into download mode on youtube but it didnt work of me and he even said it isnt a consistent method but it worked for him. and also Recovery mode is NOT download mode!!!!!!!!!!!!. they are to diff modes!!. the only purpose for Download mode is for using the Odin flasher. i have to de-rail the dudes who tryna flame me and didnt read up on this b4hand. in the gen questions forum, there a bunch of complaints about the download mode not comin up. i swear that ppl dont read. if u wanna keep a secret from ppl, put it in a book or long paragraph on how to do somethin
just wanted to post (with the caveat that i do not have the courage to actually flash my phone) that if you have Root Manager (which i posted in the "delete your crapware" thread as a non PC/ ABD method) it has a reboot widget that has three options: 1. Reboot 2. Reboot into Recovery 3. Reboot to BootLoader.
dont quote me because i dont know for sure, but i assume Reboot into Recovery = Recovery Mode and Reboot to BootLoader = Download Mode. Just sayin...

The reason it is inconsistent is because it is 'different'. It is an odd and unexpected way of getting into download mode. That doesn't make it wrong.
I've never been able to get into recovery using hardware. I'm hesitant to get too adventurous with flashing until then. Just sayin'... this is crazy.
got my t-mobile galaxy s a few days ago, tried all of button combinations to get into download mode, non seem to work, the firmware is jg3.
i'm now trying adb and still cant get into download mode, it's rooted and has no prob going into recovery mode, but i'm struggling with download mode... any ideas?
I had the same issue. Tried every method discussed including the examples on you tube... None worked. Only thing that worked for me... And consistently worked is the following.
1) remove back cover and take our simm card and sd-card.
2) take out the battery
3) hold both the volume up and volume down buttons at the same time.
4) while holding down those 2 buttons put the battery back in
Should load download mode at this point. If it doesn't work, try the above with the phone pluged in to your usb.

I have found a consistent way to get into the recovery. With the phone off hold the down the volume up and down buttons and also hold down the power button. Don't just press the power button and release it. The vibrant logo will pop up but the phone wont boot into android. The phone will go black and the samsung logo will pop up again. Now release the power button and it will go into recovery. At least it does on mine, every time.

I agree, this works every time and on every vibrant i have rooted so far.
ive NEVER had an issue getting into recovery mode with the 30 or so Vibrants ive rooted, and ive NEVER had to use Odin.
seriously guys, this is soooo simple i really have no idea why anyone has problems with it...
I agree, this works every time and on every vibrant i have rooted so far.
I'm a DM for a tmobile retailer and i root probably 2 or 3 phones for customers every day. I keep all the files for vibrant/cliq/mt3g/mts/n1 on my SDcard so i can pop it in the customers phone and root.

This thread is for download mode.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Best way for me is to turn off the phone, hold down the vol buttons, then plug in the usb. Goes into downloading mode without a problem.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Download mode: powered off, plug in USB, wait till you see the charging screen, then hold down both volume up & down buttons, then press and hold the power button till you see the vibrant logo and let go of the power button while still holding both volume buttons till you see download mode.
Recovery mode: same button sequence method but done while fully powered off (even before you see the charging screen if you have it plugged in)
Basically you can only get into download mode while powered off and the charging screen is on
Vol Down + Power did not work for me. My Vibrant will only enter download mode if I press Vol Down + Vol Up and do not touch the power button.
With all the ways posted here to get into download mode is anyone wondering why OP posted this?
his way or "adb reboot download" are very consistent ways to get there while playing around with roms and the such.
I really dont know why there is SOOOO much bad info on booting into recovery and download mode.
It IS a little trickier than normal but this is the best way...... Step by Step for both methods. The youtube ways and a lot of forum posts, especially before the vibrant came out were for the i9000 and other versions, and do NOT work on the vibrant, this is the true way to do this.
Download mode:
1. Shut down phone (pull battery if stuck in some kind of install through odin or flashing from sd)
2. Plug phone in (or when rebooting with it plugged in) wait till you see the green charging icon.
3. Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down
4. While holding Volume buttons, press and hold power button
5. As SOON as the green battery disappears let go of the power button ONLY!
6. You are now in download mode.
Recovery: (the same first steps as dl mode)
1. Shut down phone (pull battery if stuck in some kind of install through odin or flashing from sd)
2. Plug phone in (or when rebooting with it plugged in) wait till you see the green charging icon.
3. Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down
4. While holding Volume buttons, press and hold power button
5. Hold all buttons until the "Samsung Vibrant" screen disappears then wait for the battery icon to start to appear (you see the little wait circle) then release all.
6. Wait a quick second and you will see recovery start to load.
So the difference between booting into download mode and booting into recovery is you are holding all the buttons longer for recovery and only releasing the power button as soon as the green battery disappears.
Another note is to make sure that you wait for the green battery to appear before you start these.
This is very easy to do once you know exactly what to do, I had a hell of a time figuring it out the first time because of all the bad info. It really is quite simple though.

1. Power off device (pull batt)
2. Press and hold Vol+ button
3. Press and hold Power button
4. Release Power as soon as the big Samsung Galaxy S logo appears
5. Release Vol+ as soon as the recovery menu appears
This always works. Did you install Faemod?
If you are getting into Ramdump Mode you must be holding the Home button too...
For all this: please use the Q&A thread or CWM recovery thread for questions. Do not open new topics, they pollute the forums. And also definitely read the wiki, this is all explained in there...

That all depends on whether you want to continue "the legal way" or fix it yourself using stuff you find here. When a Kies upgrade fails I would go to the reseller where you bought the device to get it fixed. If you really want to do it yourself for whatever reason, find yourself a new ROM that belongs to your device (what was you ROM version before you started the upgrade?) and install it through ODIN. That will fix it...

All right.
It all started when I was going to download new firmware via Kies. Got stuck at 3%, tried recovering firmware through kies, still stuck at 3%. Tried another computer with recovery code. Didn't work at all. Called Samsung support, they showed me the forced recovery but it still doesn't work. When I do the [Vol+]+[Power]+[Home] (which is what Samsung support told me) it shows "RAMDUMP MODE,Cause:Force Upload". When I do the [Vol+]+[Power]-combo it goes into the [Phone--Exclamation Mark--Computer]-sing (Does that sign have a name? Like BSOD or RROD?).
So now I'm at the same crossroad as the last guy.
No matter what button-combinations I use I end up stuck (One time, don't know what buttons I pressed. It showed the Android-bot with the text "Downloading... Don't turn off target" (or "Don't unplug device" don't remember). I think it must be because it was in the middle of a firmware upgrade when all of this started).
So my question is what do I do now?
I can't go the legal way because I can't find my receipt and the store say "Without a receipt we can't do nothing".
I can't go directly to Samsung support because they say "Oh we're not quite sure, go to the store".
I don't know if I can install a new ROM through Odin since I don't know what ROM I had before the firmware upgrade.
(I'm a noob, I'm the kind of guy who, as long as it works, don't know what ROM I have installed).
Anyhow, if anyone out there have any idea what I should do I'd be very thankful.
I've already clicked the thank you-button on all the helpful posts in this thread.

Try volume - and power, see if you get download mode??/
Hello guys!
While flashing to CM10 from CM9, my phone rebooted and stopped into screen "Power Reset or Unknown upload mode", no keys are pressed while booting. Any ideas how to fix this? I discharged battery completely and put it again but still this screen shows up.
any idea?
try to enter download mode it seems that kernel is broken
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
Enter download mode, and then using odin just install any custom firmware or a stock firmware !
Hope it helps ! :fingers-crossed:
i've tried home + vol down+ power button
only logo of Samsung showed up, after that annoying message "Power reset......"
any idea?
Are you able to boot into CWM? if yes, ask someone if he can take your sd card and download a CWMflashable zip to it. The plug it into your own phone and flash... :fingers are crossed for you:
------------------------------
working on:
SuperRom64 (2.3.6)
Project Stock (4.0.4)
whatever i'd press, all the time i see samsung logo and after 30 secs an error message.
1. Switch off your mobile.
2. Now, press and hold the volume up key and the power button. Leave both buttons when you see the SAMSUNG logo.
3. After "Galaxy S" splash screen you will get a white box and android logo image like below,then press menu soft key and wait some second.
4. If you boot into recovery, then wipe everything and then flash the ROM.
And it seems that you have managed to brick your mobile ! But try this I hope it solves your problem.

1 - turn phone off.
2 - hold down home button.
3 - whilst still holding down home button hold the power button down to turn phone on.
4 - when you see Samsung logo let go of the power button but keep holding the home button.
5 - when you see the recovery menu you can let go of the home button.
What did you do to the phone for this problem to occur?
ok this is new to me so once downloaded mdm file then what do i need to do.was doing nothing to phone when bootloop occured and wont go into recovery mode have tried many times.

Have you tried to boot the phone into Download mode?
ok i can get into download mode what is the next step????
Hi all, this is sadly my first thread in xda, sadly because two things: for being a help-ask thread and because the reason im posting it:
So i decided to flash the new ASIG firmware to my S10, and I don't know what went wrong because odin flashed all right. when i rebooted my device did the key combo to get into recovery mode but it didn't work. Can't pass from the first boot screen because it keeps rebooting
some info to feed your sugestions:
-i was rooted and running a custom rom (August securitypatch on BeyondRom)
-patched AP file in magisk
-ianmacd TWRP
I have tried to get it into download mode, recovery mode, normal OS, magisk boot.... nothing works it keeps rebooting. I remember the battery was like 60~70 % and have been like 7 hours and keeps rebooting.
Also i have tried to get it to boot in download mode waiting till screen goes black pressing voldown and bixby and catching the right moment to plug the cable in it and stops rebooting but doesn't boot either. If i press power button starts again rebooting and the same happen if i disconnect-reconnect or free-press any of the button combo even for one second...
so i have been tweaking my devices like 3 years and this is the first time i think i screwed up one, i always tought it was not possible (hope don't) but this time i think i made it
Do I? there is no fix?
i'm waiting to the phone gets fully discharged to see if powered off can i get it to boot into download mode and fla**** again
is there another way to get it to go into download mode? like old phones with the usb jig
it is a way to turn it off??
do you know what could be the reason to get in this state?
sorry for too much questions but i had a s7 edge before and i messed with it a lot, one day deactivated oem unlock, flashed wrong custom roms and broke it (software way) a lot of times and i always was able to get into download mode and fix it but this time i can't get it to work
so please help me and thanks for read and try to help (if anybody) lol r.r :crying::crying::crying:
FIXED
i'm happy to have been right, its hard to hard brick a device hehehe just after some minutes after (panic atack) post battery went out of energy pressed key combo comected cable to pc and booted un DM im sorprised because did not lost a byte of data
When the S9-S10 Starts bootlooping and won't go to DWNLD mode or Recovery, Just hold Power + Vol DWN + BIX for 5 seconds, release, repeat for ten seconds, release, Repeat,
After that the "upload mode" should appear. and you can just hold Power+Volume Down until the phone reboots. This time the keys will finally boot you into the desired mode...
