You have to be holding the up/down vol keys when you plug it in.

Not all methods of accessing Download Mode have been added to the numerous stickied OP's about this issue, so here's a link to the procedure that works on mine:

I know I tried everything but even when I'm not trying to get into download mode and the phone is off I plug the charger in and the phone just starts up

that's the only thing that works but my comp wont recognize it and i installed the drivers and nothing also when i plug the phone into my comp the usb mounting icon doesn't pop up on the phone, so frustrated

The way I do it and it does work is two ways.
Of course make sure your drivers are installed
Turn off phone
Plug in USB cable to PC only
Hold Vol +/-
Plug in USB to phone
Wait a second and let go of Vol +/-
or
Download Terminal Emulator
Type
su
reboot download

I ran into this problem the other day as well. Instead of holding down the power button and both Volume + and -. Try just holding down the power button and Volume -. This worked for me. Every tutorial said to hold down both Volume + and -, but everytime I did it just took me to the "phone...!... computer" screen.

Take out battery and sim. put the battery back. Hold volume up and down buttons and then plug usb cable while holding those 2 buttons..it ll get you into download mode.

Have you tried to Leave Odin Open. Then Plug the USB. While the USB is plugged in and Odin running press and hold volume down + Home + Power. Once the black screen comes release the Power Button.

Question About GB and Download Mode

I started the process to install one of the more stock gingerbread roms(Revolution Rom RC1). From cm7 I flashed the GB bootloader via odin, it finished, i then restated the phone to bring it into download mode again to install the JVH PDA. But i could not get back into download mode and still cannot. I can still use cm7 but just cannot access download mode. I have tried all of the 3 button methods and using terminal su, then reboot download, both methods just reboot the phone, anyone know how i can get to the new rom ?
Two buttons....
volume up + power
You don't like op's do you.
This method works every time for me:
1. Turn Phone Off
2.) Plug USB cable into computer (but not the phone for now)
3.) press and hold the Vol +& - button
4.) Plug in the USB cable to your phone.

This is what I generally use too but with the Gingerbread bootloaders just use Volume up.

volume up and power
If you don't plug in the USB cable, yes. With the quoted method though, plugging in the USB cable acts as power on so the power button does not need to be touched.

I have always used the following and never had it fail:
With a device that is turned off:
Hold VolUp + VolDn
Insert USB cable - no need to hit Power
VolUp + VolDn + Power with no USB cable inserted will put you into recovery mode (3e for stock kernels, CWM for custom kernels). Note that you need to let go of Power when the screen turns on but keep holding VolUp + VolDn.
With a device that is turned on, I usually do "adb reboot download".
That button combo works for the i9100 version of the phone.
For the i777 our att version it its
1. Make sure phone is powered off
2. Have the USB cable attached to your computer but NOT your phone yet
3. Hold down both volume up and down (do NOT touch the power button) and plug in your USB to your phone
4. Accept the warning that flashing custom modified software your phone could cause problems
And bingo your in download mode
Or optionally buy our make a USB jig which will put phone intro download mode and reset your binary flash counter.

For anyone like me that finds this thread, With my I777 you had to hold power, vol up, and home. Hit accept and then you could plug in.

HELP My Galasy SGH-1777 Won't go into Download Mode

Hello, I recently downgraded my Galaxy SGH-1777 back to Gingerbred since my Mystic's Glory 4.1 went beserk on me. The new one is 1777uckk6 and now I wanna switch to Cyanogen but my phone wont access Download Mode (Volume up+Power). If you know a way to reboot the system to download mode please let me know!
Do you have your cable plugged into phone and computer?

Vol up plus power will not put an I777 into download mode.
With the phone off, continuously hold vol + and vol - while plugging in the usb cable.

Help getting into download mode.

I have tried the power + volume down and plug the usb into the pc and I get to the Modified recovery where you can go into safe mode or factory reset, etc. I have done it before but it was Kingo root that did it. It's not working because I can't get to usb debugging mode. I need to go back to stock. Thanks

If you are using the LGUP method, you do not need to even go into download mode. If you are on the Verizon bootlooped screen you should be able to flash it back to stock right then and there.
Also there is no real recovery method that you can use so you will have to wipe it completely clean unless you have backups.
LGup says phone 'unknown' so it won't work. It worked yesterday. Not sure what happened. Tried the battery pull method but it still doesn't work.

I had the same issue with my VS990. LGUP was not seeing the phone. Using the Recovery menu via power + volume down, I booted my phone into USB debugging mode. LGUP was then able to recognize my phone. I then chose the tot file, chose upgrade instead of refurbished, and clicked start. It auto restarted my phone into Download Mode and started the upgrade. If you can get the phone into USB debugging mode, you'll be set.

Plug a USB cable into your phone with your phone powered off, hold down on the Vol Up button and plug the USB cord into your computer. It should immediately boot into download mode. I have verified this works on my Verizon V10.

I just confirmed that works good job
Huh. I did mine from a regular boot up, but in debug mode. LGUP commanded it to reboot into DL mode for me.
Download mode on the LG V10 is achieved the same way all other recent LG smartphones have been. Power the device off completely by either the power menu or battery pull. Plug your USB cable into your computer. I didn't have an issue with USB 3.0. Hold Volume up and plug in the phone to the computer. Keep holding Volume up until the phone says download mode. It will do a small loading screen then it will change, this is normal. You can leave download mode by pulling out the battery or by holding the power button for 10-15 seconds.

I think you might be doing it wrong...
Download Mode -> Hold volume up, and plug into usb while STILL holding volume up, release once in download mode
Reset Screen -> Hold volume down + power, then plug into usb whil holding down buttons, release when screens comes on.
Ok, now for my problems. I got my phone into DM, used LGUP to install VS99026A_00_0118.kdz on my VS990. I let it go overnight. Came back to see it failed at about 73%, Error "can't get laf property", ever since then I can't get back into DM again, my LG splash screen will come up, then I get the android guy saying "Erasing...", then it reboots to splash screen again, waits a sec, then turns off. I managed to get into the reset screen with vol dn + pwr + usb method, tried to go into safe mode, now I have same issue getting back to that screen too.
Any help?
