Hello again,
Because nobody have this problem too i wrote yesterday (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077133) i decided to flash my phone.
First of all i wanted to root it with chainfires autoroot.
My problem now is simple explained:
I turn off the phone and press volume down+home+power button.
Then there is a warning which says i should press volume up for entering download mode or volume down for restart.
If i press the volume up button nothing happens. The same with volume down. Nothing.
What can i do in this case?
Post once don't break the rules .
Are you sure you get no response when using vol up button .
Kies firmware recovery ???
Worth trying a factory reset .
That fails you can try a USB recovery jig .
Simple answer would be a Samsung Service centre as it looks like the KIES update has gone wrong .

Thanks for your response!
Sorry for the new Thread, but i thought this problem has nothing to to with the other so i decided to make the new thread.
- Yes there is no respone after i am asked to press vol up or down.
- I can enter recovery mode, but not download mode
- Tried a factory reset 3 times.
- Kies firmware recovery don't shows my phone in the list to recover. Kies says all is working correct.
I think i will use my phone now without my home button and wait for next firmware update which hopefully helps

Hi,
I just got my phone, and one of the first think I did, was to start updating to latest firmware on Kies. This seemed to get stuck for hours so i disconnected the USB cable, and after that, all that happens when i start the phone is that I see a phone and a computer symbol with a warning triangle in the middle.
I have tried emergency restore in Kies, but cant get into this mode (vol up,home, On/off button ?). I suppose I somehow have to reset my phone, but how am I to do this now?
If you are wanting to do a Factory Reset then, *2767*3855#. And you should press Volume Down+Home+Power key to enter Download mode I guess.
Regards.
I cant dial any number because all I see when i turn it on is that screen i described with some symbols. I do manage to get it into download mode, but I dont really dont know where to go from here to restore everything. Kies tells me I need emergency restore, but I cant get into this mode...
phone off vol up = home + power hold down until splash screen and release .
Then wipe data and factory reset.
That fails service centre next .

When i Try the combo vol up+home+power nothing happens other then the phone starting with the symbols.I suppose this combo doesn't work on my phone, at least if I am not doing it horribly wrong.
As soon as you get a display release vol up + home followed by pwr .

I have tried what you are saying several times, but I am still stuck at the screen with the symbols:/
edit: this is how my screen looks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Samsung_Galaxy_S_Black_Screen_of_Death.jpg
I have tried to flash the firmware in ODIN but that gets stuck at zimage.
Now i fixed my problem by flashing to branded original kernel from Orange. I have realized I am not able to update this though, and I dont want all these useless apps preinstalled. Therefore I have tried to flash to EU unbranded ROMs like XWKE7. But when I am doing this, Odin always gets stuck.
Is there anything I should do before I flash one of these ROMs (yes I am new to this...)?
I am sorry to spam my own thread, but now my phone got locked up by the same symbols again, but this time I cant manage to flash back to original orange kernel. Each time i try to flash, the process gets stuck at zimage or some other point.
Any ideas how to fix? Or have i bricked my phone?:/
Start at the beginning .
Boot to recovery mode Advanced Wipe Dalvik Cache .
Mounts and storage Format data system sd card .
No recovery on phone just wiper data and factory reset .
Power phone off source stock rom from stock roms post in dev section set up Odin .
Boot phone to download mode connect cable and flash rom .

I didnt quite get what you were saying there. I have wiped my phone with recovery, but when I try to flash any ROM with ODIN the process stops after a few seconds, and I have to flash my original Kernel to get things to work. Any thoughts on this?
Edit: I figured my "fix" was using another PC with another USB port, because my current pc seems to hate my SG2 device
Hi guys,
I have rooted my gf's phone 2 months back using litening rom to gain root and CWM and subsequently flash it with CheckROM 4.
Phone is good for about a month or so until one fine day, when she restarts her phone, the phone goes into download mode.
Now, in the download mode, the button is not responding at all. either vol up or down. No respond. So i tried to go into recovery but the phone one, instead, that combination restarts the phone.
Now the phone cant get into recovery mode at all, by all means, tried CWM manager, tried Vol up + Power + home button
And when i go into download mode, the vol button gave me no respond, the vol button works perfectly during normal phone state.
Jigged it and vol button wont respond too. Tried factory reset the phone but all it did is reset the time and date.
Anybody can give me some pointer and or experiencing the same problem? My gf is upset, and if i cant solve it, i have to buy a new phone to her
No recovery mode and no download mode + USB jig does not work .
Requires JTag machine or Service Centre .

I would say first try getting into download mode(by pressing volume up & the power button simultaneously). After that, connect your phone to your PC,run "Odin 1.85"(just google that sentence, you will get it), after that use odin to flash a stock samsung ROM to your phone.
download this stock ROM to be used with odin :
http://skywanker.net/download/downl...9100_XEO_I9100XWLP8_I9100OXALPS_I9100XXLPS.7z
the exact details on how to flash the link I gave above to your phone is on this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Good luck!!
Tried Vol up and power button but nth happend. Still Yellow triangle and black question mark....
For download mode its volume down home and power key.Try this if it goes in to download mode then follow the rest of the steps from the above post

You need to press the Home button as well.
I'd remove batteries, wait for at least 5 s. Then try entering Download mode with
(Vol Down Home, Power)
If it still won't work then you'd need to get a USB jig as noted in previous posts.
And no it is not your fault, KIES is not a very good piece of software.

Are you still getting this screen? This is a forced download mode. You can try an Odin flash from here.
apparently you are new to this so..... here it goes
1: first check you got i9100 not i9100G
2: kies told you to remove and reconnect blaa blaa so it can restore the error. if you cant manage to fix it, than easy method is like post above said. use odin.
3: read about how to use odin, close kies, download stock ROM (checkfus / sammobile ) and flash, it will be fixed.
4: no need for jig at the moment.
if ur in download mode jus use odin an c if it recognizes,yes means flash up....by the way kies is safe
Well i think i ve got I9100G, can i still use Odin?????
YES,
though search threads in this section :http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1550
cant you make sure or still think it is "G"
Yes it is MODEL:GT-I9100G

G section of the forum .
i9100 firmware will brick a G model .

Well i opened ODIN put an I9100G Rom as PDA and pressed start but after half an hour it is still <ID:0/008> SetupConnection..
It's in forced download mode, it should still be coming up "COM:x" in ODIN right? You should be able to flash a recovery package from there. It should take 5 minutes at the most, not 30.
where did you get ROM from...what type of file????
is it a normal problem that when we flashed a Custom firmware on s5830i , Download mode ins't working ?
i tried flashing a custom rom on my s5830i DDXLA2 Basband version DXLF1 Acecream and razodroid , upon flashing both custom firmware everything works good but when i tried to go to download mode all i can see is BLANK SCREEN . i already tried the volume up + down + power then insert the battery but still it doesn't work . my phone also is not detected in any odin . my odin version is 1.85 and Odin3_V3.07 .
hope there is a solution with my problem thanks !

Your problem sounds similar to this one. I assume when you say 'blank screen' that the screen is powered on?
Power off the phone, hold down VolUp + VolDown + Power for 4 to 5 seconds. Then release ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Now press Volume Up. Now hopefully you will be in download mode even if you can't see that you are. If it doesn't work try it again a couple of times. The reason that you have to press Volume Up is that a warning screen is actually displayed before the phone lets you into download mode.
The phone will give you no other indication that its in download mode and won't 'recognise Odin' when not in download mode. Make sure you have Samsung USB drivers (comes with Samsung Kies) installed on your PC.
Oh yeah and by the way the thread I've linked to suggests you have to reflash the bootloader to fix the 'blank screen' problem.
