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

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.

[Q] Captivate can't enter recovery mode

Is it possible to have a phone that can't enter recovery mode?
My phone is rooted and I can enter recovery mode through Rom Manager but I can't get there by holding volume+- and power. I'm afraid some day I might mess up my phone and be unable to fix it because I can't enter recovery or download mode.
Am I just doing it wrong, or are there phones that cant?
I'm still within 30 days of my phone purchase, should I exchange it?

Same here. I can't get the phone to boot into recovery to update packages to install root. Any suggestions would be appreicated. I just exchanged my phone for a second time for a media player crashing issue, I called AT&T and they told me to bring it in for exchange. I can't get the new one to boot into recovery.

Mine only seems to work if I plug in a usb cable while holding the buttons though I'm sure I just haven't found the right timing the usb cable seems to help for some reason. And no I'm not getting confused with download mode.

I was able to root using the one click root method, the one that's stickied in the development forum. It doesn't require you to manually boot into recovery mode.

I downloaded the oneclick however it is a .rare file and I can not extract the data with my pc for some reason. This is not my first time rooting a Captivate either so I have the tools and drivers. I just can't get into recovery mode and I am frustrated because without root I can not access my backup of Titanium or ClockworkMod.

I also am having problems getting into recovery.. Just got my phone today... I've tried about 30 times, and it absolutely will not go into recovery mode.

Works every time for me if i power off. Hold down volume up and down and power. Wait for the att screen to go off and as soon as it comes back on the second time let go of the power button and continue holding both volume button down until you see recovery booting. It works the same with a usb cable plugged in for download mode.

have you tried to get into recovery via adb , i always found that way a lot easier then pressing those buttons, pressing the buttons always hurt my fingers too much anyways.
From terminal in tool in the android sdk directory, you can do adb reboot recovery

i had the exact same issue of mine not working.. somewhere i had read it was to only hold down the UP arrow, not both up and down. I Just did exactly as you said and it worked perfect.

I am on my 3rd Captivate and it appears that the last two won't go into recovery mode using the button combo at all. My first Captivate did with ease, go figure.

Thanks I did it as you stated and it worked on the first try. Thanks a lot, you just saved me from agonizing over making changes to my phone in fear of not being able to get to the recovery screen.

If people are still having problem is suggest
1 turn off phone
2 count to 30
3 pull battery
4 putt in battery
5 hold both +,- vol buttons and the power
6 let go of power button when you see the att screen
Note: if that doesn't work than in step 5 hold the - vol and the power only or try to hold the + vol and power only.
Hope that helps even though it was said in the thread b4. Im just trying to make it clear

I've tried vol +&- with power.
vol - with power
vol + with power
I've tried letting off power at the at&t screen. I've tried one click root.
Nothing is working.
Edit: Lol, win 7 needs x64 drivers then I got it done through sdk. Still no hardware recovery boot though.

any chance this would work for our phones? Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (GT-I9000) Software Upgrades for Handsets with Original Production Software
.by Samsung Mobile Canada on Thursday, September 16, 2010 at 4:14pm.A software upgrade is now available for Bell Mobility Galaxy S Vibrant handsets, provided the device has original production software (JG9). The latest version of Kies has been tested and will resolve the three-button recovery issue

I've read on a forum once(can't remember where) that there are different models of the at&t captivate, some ship without the ability to use the buttons to boot into recovery/download. It also said that if you call at&t and tell them you want a phone that boots into recovery they'll send you one.

I told them that this was one of the principal reasons that I won't be keeping my Captivate. I returned mine today (the second one i have had, and after a Nexus One and EVO as well).

Ok i had the same problem i broke the screen on my captivate went to at&t
did a upgrade went to root it and could not get into recovery after reading all the
post and calling samsung (what a wast of time) i took the back cover off my broken phone looking for numbers what i found was a batch # under the sn#
my old phone had 1007# my new phone had a 1008# went back to at&t we looked
at all the captivates until we found a 1007# poped in a battery and went right in
to recovery i'm thinking mabe the new batch# had something different but it worked for me thought i would share

The ota update fixes this issue.

Which update? The JH7 one? I can't boot into recovery either. I'm running JH7 on an AT&T Captivate unlocked and using it on Rogers in Canada, with "1008" on the back of the phone. Maybe they DID remove recovery mode since the "1007" phones?
EDIT: 3-button combo fixed using C3P0LOL's fix.

HELP! I bricked my G2!

Hello, I am a NOOB, and...
I recently rooted my lg g2, vs9803aa, using the one click root, but haven't actually flashed any roms on it. I put autorec on to flash twrp, and also had titanium backup on there i was looking at to try to back it up. I restarted the phone and it is just blank screen now. I try the hard reset and it just buzzes in my hand once and no logo appears on the screen. When i plug it into the computer it generates a bunch of local drives that need formatting, and on device manager it shows as QHSUSB_BULK. I read in other threads that it matters what rom you are using for the possible fix, but i never got as far as flashing one, or recieved an OTA.
Thoughts please?! I really don't want to get a new phone, but at the very least for now I swapped the sim to an old phone, droid 4, for temporary use.
Thanks for any input.

Hi,
Have you tried download mode? If you dunno how to, here's how :
" press power button and select “power off”. Then, press the volume up button on your LG G2. While you are holding the volume up button, plug in your phone's USB cable. Keep pressing the Volume up button until the download mode is being displayed."
After you are in download mode, follow this guide to go to stock : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
This should resolve your issue.

I get no screen prompts whatsoever, it stays black. I can hold the power button for a few seconds and there will be a single pulse of vibration, nothing else. It does the same if I hold volume down and power, as well as volume up and power. I even tried all 3 at the same time, same thing.

Let me make it clear. Turn off your phone. Plug your USB on your phone and press & hold volume up button and connect the other and of the usb to your pc.

Just had the same thing happen to me. Installed recovery through autorec and then upon reboot I get a black screen and everything else mentioned above.

I figured it out, as long as you don't mind wiping the device.
I used the SRK tool 2.1 to unbrick it. Link to post
After this I could get the LG splash screen again and enter download mode.
Then I used the LG Flash Tool 2014 to flash stock firmware back onto it. I actually downgraded to kitkat with the flash tool since it easier to root that way. Link to post

It was there when i extracted the folder, maybe you need to re-download zip or get it from a different source. I dunno, mind you I am still a huge noob with about a weeks worth of experience trolling the how to/fix guides and no programming skills whatsoever.

When did the change in button routine to enter download mode change? I recently got my hands on an exynos s10+ and I found that the button routine change must have happened recently because all the guides on rooting still say to enter recovery/DL mode using [vol up - bixby - power].
How are you supposed to trigger recovery mode during root process now?
Any and all help is appreciated.

Turn off your phone. Press and hold the Bixby and Volume-down button, then connect with USB to your computer. (The cable shouldn't be connected until after you press the buttons).
Within seconds of USB connection the Download screen will appear.

if someone still has problems there is another way around... turn off your phone, hold volume UP (!) bixby and power button. you will enter recovery mode. in recovery mode you can reset to bootloader (download mode).

It has to work, maybe you have to vary the timing, also you can try with tap on restart phone and keep pressing only volume up button till recovery appears.

if you upgraded to android 11 you HAVE to plug in via USB....not sure why they changed so much on android 11

I'm on A11 and the button method works fine for me... on the three S10+ phones I have used recently.

I asked this question on the community section in the Samsung members app and someone told me I needed to plug in the device into my charger and then press volume up and bixby and after pressing them while keeping them pressed I need to press the power button.and Keep all the 3 buttons pressed till I am in recovery,This has worked for me

You have no idea how grateful I am for your explanation. Everyone always says a bunch of different key combinations and timing and I ALWAYS have to google it and try many times untill I am able to reboot. But it was THIS SIMPLE ALL ALONG. Wow. This worked perfectly and only on my first try! Since there is no timing to worry about. and only one key to remember. I do normally have to have my cable connected to my PC. But now it is so simple! THANK YOU
