MY Phone Condition:
My phone was previously install with voodoo rom and use clockwork recovery to restore to my stock rom that i backup and it crash half way.
My phone was hardware lock this mean no matter how i press the volume and power button , i will never get into download mode. non of the method posted work !
My phone cannot use "adb reboot download" because there is no OS and it was stuck in the recovery loop.
It does not have clockwork recovery because i formatted my internal sdcard
If i do have clockwork recovery and i use restore image or install new from zip , i still stuck in the recovery mode after reboot several times.
My phone does not mount to internal sdcard because i don't even know what i did on this part.
I believe i screw up my partition of the phone.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
You need the Samsung USB driver and you can get it from Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
First Part
1. Download update.zip from the link below. This was post by another member.
The post is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804305
2. Place the update.zip in tools folder so you can push it into your phone by using adb command
3. Plug usb into the phone and your phone should be on the Android system recovery <2e>
4. Use your volume button to select reinstall package, don't press power button yet.
5. constant "adb push update.zip /sdcard" from computer , you will get permission denied.
6. While you are constantly pushing the adb command from computer. press the power button on the phone so it install update.zip from sdcard.
7. This is the part where it force adb push into sdcard without permission
8. once the update.zip install completed. unplug the usb cable from the phone and take the battery out.
9. put the battery back to the phone then press on both volume button.
10. While holding both volume button , plug in your usb cable and it will boot to download screen.
If you need use Odin to flash your phone to original stock rom. Go to the Second Part
Second Part:
If you get black screen with only 4 light on the bottom after flashing from Odin.
Follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728698
There should be T959-PDA.tar,T959-CSC.tar and T959-Phone.tar within the package.
Check "Re-Partition" , "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" check box. Use the PIT 0512 version. Use "PDA", "PHONE" and "CSC" from the link above.
After flashing with Odin, you will loose the download mode. repeat the first part and you are good to go.
Here is the link on rooting the phone

my hardware lock mean cannot use the button method to get into download mode and using adb reboot download does not help too.

You figure it out after all. I already stated the condition of my phone ! My phone was pretty bricked at that point. There is way for me to push any files into the phone because i don't have permission and my phone will not go to download mode by using the volume button. It just stuck at recovery mode.
There are guide out there teach you to use "adb push download". This method only work if you are in your phone and you turn on debug mode. My phone crash at the clockwork recovery bootloader. Then i formated my internal sdcard that hold the clockwork. next i push a stock update.zip that does not have su and busybox so i lost the capability to push anything into the phone.
no download mode , no permission, no sdcard --> You tell me how can i use the method that post few week ago ?

unfortunately, i was one of those careless people to brick my phone via Voodoo.
Firstly, i tried to "FLASH" the disable_voodoo zip file via Clockwork, i put it in root, and never created any folders. i knew i had to disable voodoo before flashing but my steps were wrong.
sadly enough, my phone was also HW locked, so i got it exchanged. now im not using voodoo YET and i my new vibrant can handle OC and has the recovery/download mode via buttons.

i use shell to create the file that disable voodoo. after disable voodoo , i was able to do restore and install new rom unfortunately after restore or install new rom , it still reboot into recovery.
I also forgot to disable voodoo, and this was before there were fix instructions posted. So i basically effed up my phone to the point of being stuck in the samsung recovery loop, no hardware download mode, no clockwork recovery, no update.zp, no adb download.
I really thought I had completely bricked my phone, I tried this just out of desperation and what do you know, push update.zip over and over and click and it goes through, which allowed me to get into download mode.

nice , you just have to re-root and install the new rom again , if it brick again , just use this method and you are good again.many of us forgot to disable the voodoo before we restore or install new rom and this crashes the phone.
Need some help really bad
Ok so I have a similar situation as you did (OP), only mine is a bit worse... In my irrational "in the moment" fear of the situation, I used adb reboot recovery to get into recovery mode (HW locked phone) and I did the option that deletes all the **** on the phone and restores the phone to its original format (I think it reinstalled the OS or something, because it looks brand new). So now, whenever I boot up, it does the annoying black screen with the 4 glowing buttons thing for a while, and then eventually the OS actually shows up on the screen. Then it does "scanning media" thing over and over again, but thats not the main problem. I figured, hey this isnt so bad atleast I found your thread and would be able to use your method to help restore my phone... the problem is that somehow my "settings" button is totally gone from the app menu, and I cant get it into debug mode, so I cant use either adb or your method or ANYTHING!! My phone is practically bricked as I cant do anything because its constantly laggy and turns back to the black screen thing, and then when it is showing the homescreen I cant do **** because even swiping to another screen takes like 5 minutes to do cause its so laggy. So basically I ****ed up, and I really need some help.. Im kinda a noob at this whole thing and im really outa options as far as I can tell.. does anyone know what I can do to repair my phone? Thanks!
Guys,
I'm losing my mind here.
I've tried to install the CyanogenMod but I've run into some problems.
Why is it so damn difficult to install this?
I've spent 4 hours following different guides and none of them are step by step.
The ones that come close, never mention possible issues along the way which you then have to find on other forums.
Anyway,
can someone please help me with the following:
I'm getting stuck on booting into recovery.
I run the command and the phone reboots. however, it then presents a Triangle and an exclamation mark!
The instruction show that I am supposed to see a Green text recovery screen.
I'm having to hit the up volume and power button, which gives a blue text recovery screen with limited options.
I've tried the Amon_Ra's Recovery process and the ClockworkMod Recovery process to no avail!!!
I also tried the rom manager but the app keep giving "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands"
I know it's something that I'm doing wrong but I'm very close to throwing this phone out the window and going back to an iphone... This is just not ****ing worth it.

Go to this thread. Read it. Download the apk. Root your device (you could not flash a custom recovery because you are not rooted!...). Download RomManager from the Market. Install a custom recovery through RomManager and you are done.

mhhh ok. So you probably have no insecure boot image. That's probably why you can't flash any recovery from RomManager....

so are you now rooted and running cm7-build#10 nightly or still trying to do it?
So let me summarize what i have done so far. I have a samsung captivate. THe power button has stopped functioning and am out of warranty and stuff. Last week I thought I would root my phone and flash a Rom. But unfortunately I needed the power button to navigate through the recovery menu. So I looked at a lot of forums for ways around it, but nothing worked. I tried cwm too but that dint work either. Eventually I reset my phones to factory setting and formatted everything. But sadly, not my phone keeps restarting every 5 seconds or so unless its plugged in a charger. I tried resetting multiple times and tried looking online for solutions, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be highly appreciated it. And on a side note, will it be possible to flash a custom Rom with my power button not working?
Thanks a lot in advance

Buy or make yourself a jig - that will get you into download mode, and you can flash a kernel with CWM baked in. You can get to recovery mode via ADB if you need to (command is ADB REBOOT RECOVERY), and once you're there, quite a few of the versions of CWM will allow up/down with the menu/home keys and selection with the search key.
As for your power button, if you haven't tried cleaning it, look around the forum - there are some options for trying to get it cleaned and working that way first. If that doesn't do it, the member connexion2005 (Josh at mobiletechvideos.com) offers a power button replacement service (as far as I know) for a nominal fee.
Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I think I will just get a jig, its much easier. So if I get the phone in download mode, I can flash any Rom I want?
Uhhh nope...

I had one more quick question. I finally figured out how to use adb. So when i try to go into the bootloader using adb bootloader. My phone just restarts. Also when i tried going into adb shell it said system/bin/sh not found. So i went into my root explrorer and checked out system/bin. The sh and bootloader files were not there. I am not sure if they are supposed to be there or not. If they are missing. How do I get them back?
Here is what i was doing
adb reboot bootloader - phone restarts
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to flash a custom recovery-the cmd promt jus says waiting for device and doesnt do anything
PS: Is there any way to control the recovery menu using adb/cmd promt?
Thanks a lot guys for helping me out. I really appreciate it.
Thanks
Sounds like you killed your system partition with the reformat. Try putting it into download mode and then using a one-click Odin package to flash your phone back to life. You're going to have an issue with flashing things through CWM without a power button.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
Thank you so much for your help. I was finally able to flash my phone back to stock Froyo. I realized that I can put my phone
in download mode and flash a rom using odin. My last question is that is there a rom for ICS that I can flash using odin.
I tried googling and searching xda for "flash ics captivate odin" but could not find anything. So do u guys know any Rom that I can flash using odin. All the ones that i found were zip files which does not work for odin.
Well I decided to call Google about the boot loader recovery not working as it should. I was hoping this call would help them to work on another update but they say that's the way its supposed to work. Here's the email Instructions:
1. Power down your device
2. Press and hold both volume keys and the power button to enter
Bootloader mode
3. Press the volume keys to cycle to the Recovery mode option
4. Press the power button to select Recovery mode
5. From the Recovery mode screen, press and hold the Power button then
press the Volume up button.
6. Use the volume buttons to select wipe data/factory reset.
7. Select Yes -- delete all user data.
8. The factory data reset process will now start. Once its finished,
select 'Reboot system now.'
The only option we have in the new recovery is to wipe data. Maybe for those having problems accessing twrp or cwm will be able to a access it with step 5. I don't know haven't rooted yet. So I decided to ask about nvflash and they said they're not going to release any nvflash tools or files.
um, yup. thats how stock bootloader and stock recovery work. lol
whats the issue? if your not even rooted, you wouldn't even know if you have an issue or not with the new bootloader.
Are you saying that you can't flash a different recovery? Or that when you do you still get the same stock recovery? I'm not quite sure what the issue is here, because that is exactly how the stock bootloader, and recovery are supposed to work.
Are you making sure to unlock fastboot before trying to flash recovery. I don't recall seeing or hearing anyone say anything about not being able to get to clockwork mod once its installed.

No. I saw people posting they couldn't get go cwm and could only see the red exclamation point. And I was just saying maybe after choosing recovery then holding volume up and power it would then go to cWm or twrp. I was hoping for someone to try it who is still on 3.41 Recovery. A lot of people downgraded back to 3.39 or whatever version it was

I can confirm that to get in to the stock recovery you hold down 'power' and then tap 'vol up'.
At present I am running the latest CWM touch recovery. This boots straight into it from the bootloader without any extra button presses.
My personal preference to go into CWM is from either QuickBoot or ROM Manager.

When I first flashed TWRP onto my Nexus 7 after that official 4.1.2 OTA update, I wasn't able to boot into it. I then flashed it again via fastboot, and then booted the TWRP image that was on my computer, and then TWRP loaded.
I believe TWRP does work normally now as well (I can boot into it and reboot into it).

Well if I was you I'd just use mskips toolkit, its absolutely epic it'll save you a lot of farting around. I take it that your fully updated? ( Not that it matters) You seem to know and understand your way around adb so just go for it and enjoy.
Its works smooth as silk and save you a lot off time. The options available to you are just staggering!

going to recovery from bootloader works fine after 3.41.....wat r u talkin abt? (i m stock rooted+twrp)
oh yea...u hav 2 remove that recovery stock.p file thingy first.
There are plenty of people that are having issues with recovery on 3.41 bootloader.... Its confirmed some have it some don't.
The issue is that with 3.41 bootloader on some Nexus 7 Devices a custom recovery is unbootable no matter how you try, every time it will try to load recovery and fail at a black screen then reboot into the OS. It does not matter how you try from ADB reboot to recovery or from bootloader with USB attached or not.

In your system folder there's a file called 'recovery-from-boot.p'
Go into a file manager with w/r access and rename it ' recovery-from-boot.p.bak'
When the system boots it reads that file and resets the recovery to stock, by changing the name you remove the problem.

If you downloaded .zip you unpack it somewhere on comp.
You in your phone allow unknown sources in settings and turn on USB debugging.
After that use official cable to connect phone and comp ( I guess you have all usual drivers already installed) and then go to folder where you unzipped your files and start install.bat.
Then follow instructions as they come.
P.S. just to check you downloaded from here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery

It isn't meant to flashing but it will install Nut's Dual Recovery which is app and will "make" TWRP and CWM and nuts recovery (similar to cwm).
You can enter recovery through app and will go to choosen recovery or when phone is booting you will have a chance to enter directly into recovery by pressing vol up or down...phone will vibrate and notifications led will glow green then press vol up or down

I'm not sure about posting 3rd party links but if this get deleted PM me and I will see how to help you.
PS in Nut's app you can also choose which recovery you want to use, although people like to use TWRP I have no predisposition toward any specific.
