Hello guys, I try to fix a p880 and I want to go back to stock as every other try I made failed. I have installed drivers and I try to go into S/W Mode by pressing volume down+power button but instead I get into recovery mode that a friend have installed previously. How do I get in S/W Mode?
To go to S/W Upgrade mode you have to turn off your phone, hold volume down button and then put an USB cable in. You don't have to press the power button.

Hi,
I wonder if someone can offer me some help, i had my captivate rooted and i had cognition rom on it, i tried to update to a different rom and while i was using the ODIN the usb came loose and then the phone froze at yellow page with the shuffle, then i tried to put in the download mode by holding the power and up and down button then put the usb and then the battery, the computer do not see the phone also i only get this phone ! Computer, i hope i did not brick the phone.
Thanks for the help.
I'm replying to my own post: After i posted my question i tried to put the phone in the download mode by holding the up and down buttons without holding the power button and put the usb then the battery and it was successful.
That's normal

Just so you know, holding only the volume up+down and then plugging in the USB is the normal way of putting it in Download Mode.
The volume up+down AND power button is the normal way of putting it into Recovery Mode, not Download Mode.
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
Hey Guys i recently just flashed my phone with ICS and it came up with error, then i replugged the phone the computer no longer recongised my phone and it can no longer enter SW mode, windos asked me to update and install drivers although i already had. I now cannot flash a new rom and it's bricked, i tried it on several computer but with no luck, i am sorry i am a newb and searched no answers help guys please?
Just smart flash/nvflash it with any stock ROM you can get.
Not trying to be rude.
When you press both volume + & -, the phone goes to apx mode. There will be only blank screen and notification on windows that its an apx device.
When only pressing volume -, then its smart flash mode. Smart flash program will recognize it.

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.

Sorry buddy, there is nothing else you can do except to go to a Service Center. You can give USB Jig a try though but I'm not sure it will work

Vol Down + Home (keep pressing both) then connect USB from computer, you should get at Download Mode.
