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
2. if you can wait, samsung said it'll release a fix later on in september possibly the same time with Froyo2.2

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.

Hi to all,
i used this way to enter the download modus http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765703
it was the first time i could enter this modus. Then i tried to flash JPC firmware with odin. Something went wrong. Now my phone boots up (the animated "S" with sound), vibrate and the screen went black.
The touch controls working fine but the screen is still black and the phone vibrates sometimes.
Unfortunally i reach not the download or recovery modus.
What can i do, please help!
kind regards
srkonus
you have to get into the download mode
if you can not get into the download mode
then you are stuck
you can try to be lucky and see if you can reboot it into the ADB reboot download
Thanks for your answer, how made this with the adb reboot download? My Windows 7 does not see the phone.
I get this: error: device not found
You should get in to download mode because the s is after the download mode.
I never see the s when trying to get into download
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
That is my problem, i get into the download modus not yesterday, and today only one time.
I try this:
battery out and in, center button, vol up and power -> nothing
battery out and in, center button, vol down up and power -> nothing
battery out and in, vol down up, center button and power -> nothing
battery out and in, vol down down, center button and power -> nothing
I do not know how i went into the download mode nearly one hour before.
ADB and kies find not the phone :-(
1) Pull out battery.
2) Reinsert battery.
3) Press VOL DOWN - HOME - POWER and keep the 3 buttons pressed until you'll see a yellow image on the phone. You are in download mode!
If your Phone has no Problem with the 3-Button-Combo:
- Turn off your Phone
- Hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons
- While holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons press POWER Button until you reach Download-Mode
- Release all Buttons
Otherwise the only solution is to bring it back to Samsung. ;-)

How was the condition of your battery before you got into trouble. You think you have enough power? If not, let your phone rest for a while and try it again later. Make sure that when you get into download mode you have odin ready so you can flash new firmware immediately .
Nothing,
the only thing i can see is the white samsung galaxy letters, after that the phone reboots.

- Turn off your Phone
- Hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons
- While holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons press POWER Button until Display powers on then release only Power Button
- Hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons until you reach Download Mode
Could be a little tricky to get into download mode. ;-)
Yeah,
back to samsung...nice joke. I do not beliefe, that samsung will change the phone. It was rooted and i installed the modclock recovery before to backup the ROM.
Maybe the device was really warm from charging - is this the key?
i think your Flash was ok. You´ve only forgotten to do a Data Wipe / Factory Reset from Recovery.
Have a look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769400
AFTER FLASHING TO JPC ITS NECESSARY TO DO A DATA/FACTORY RESET FROM RECOVERY (Volume up + Home + Power).
OTHERWISE YOUR PHONE WILL DO MYSTERIOUS THINGS!!!

Reconsider the advice of Arey. To go into download mode can be really tricky sometimes.
Maybe ur battery is drained get some one else to charge it for u
The battery is full

Not download mode but rather recovery. VOL UP + HOME + POWER hold till Samsung white writing appears then release.

Thats the thing with the Galaxy,u have made it to download mode cpl o times before and u think u know how to do it right.But read carefully!!:
#1. PULL out the battery for a minute!Not 1sec,or 2...a minute!!
#2. Put it back in again,and putt the case back.
#3. Press the home-button,the big square thing at the bottom.hold it down,hold down volume-down button on the side,now press power button on oposite side of volumebutton.
#4 Make really sure u have all 3 buttons pressed at the same time.Wait for download mode
How to solve? My SGS I9000 accidentaly off during downloading firmware upgrade. Now, when I switch on the phone, no Samsung and Galaxy S logo appeared, but the connected phone-pc icon appeared with warning icon in the middle. What can I do?
You have semi bricked it. you need to put it back in to download mode (vol down + home key + power button) press all 3 buttons at once. When in download mode reflash it again with Odin. If your 3 button doesn't work then you need a jig
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah.. 3 buttons doesn't work. I don't have any JIG right now. Maybe the best is go to Samsung Service Centre. Huu..
Plenty of jigs available on ebay or see the thread on here about making one
Anyone can verify this solution, is it work? Mine can't:
SOFT BRICK
Resolution
First off DO NOT PANIC. there is a simple solution, just remove the battery , plug the phone into the computer, press and hold volume down and it will enter download mode.

You can't because it doesn't work that way. If you have a semi brick or brick (without the combo) you need a JIG/JTAG.
Other tricks like "heat the battery" "heat the Cellphone" or the one you pointed are just fake.

You are either doing it wrongly, or the volume-down button isn't working. It's as simple as that.
To diagnose, make absolutely sure that CWM is properly installed by following steps 1-3 in this guide.
EDIT: Actually, if volume-down isn't working, you won't be able to start the phone in NVFlash-mode either.
Then try to start recovery again (also by doing it exactly like the guide says.) If you still can't access CWM, then you know for certain your volume-down key is broken and you need to get the phone repaired.
Maybe a "quick shot" but why not to ask: do you keep power and vol down keys long enough? You have to keep them pressed both for quite a few seconds before CWM mode is activated and CWM menu appears. So, just power off your phone, then keep power and "vol -" buttons pressed until the LG logo changes a bit or the CWM menu appears. On my phone it takes about 15 seconds, so no hurry
i was flashing a rom and when i rebooted the phone into system i was stuck on twrp splash ( twrp logo ) and i cant put the phone into any modes so please help me
same thing here. let me know if you can fix it. it happened to me cuz i installed twrp after installing lineageos android 12.
Update: Sent to store said he can't repair it with box. and that in order to fix it he needs to replace the board. i'll keep you updated
Keeps pressing power button it will power off or restart your phone and when it does insert data cable in phone it will boot phone in recovery mode.
If you didn't fix it. you got no other choice than replacing the board like i did. cost me 60 bucks

Plug your phone to pc
Hold power button +volume down for a few seconds
Then right before the phone logo shows, bixby + volume down
Now download mode shows. Flash twrp 3.6 and done
OR
Plug your phone to pc.
Turn off your phone / restart it.
Hold bixby button + power + volume down.
Now that you're in Download mode, you can flash twrp 3.6 via TWRP.
