If you have gingerbread bootloaders the button combo for download mode is simply volume up + power button. If that doesn't work then wait for the usb jig to arrive..... How did you manage to soft brick your phone, what messed the phone up?

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:

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.

[Q] After I flashed eugene's froyo I can't get back to download mode

1. Flashed eugene's via odin
2. I've tried the usual power + vol up + vol down as well as power + vol down + home. I feel like such a nub but I can't figure out what I'm missing?
Whenever I have the power button down, the phone just endlessly reboots into recovery mode.
I'm attempting to do the larger nand fix.
You have to hold vol up + vol down and then plug in the use cable. Don't press the power button.

I think I got it. Thanks so much.

Entering bootloader

Any clue how to get into? Vol- + power does not work
Hmmm... I was able to get into "USB Host Mode" by pressing Camera + Vol - + Power. This what you were looking for?
EDIT:: Be careful though I got stuck in a weird boot loop (probably because I'm an idiot).
Did not work as well - windows is not detecting phone when plugged in

I have managed to enter this USB Host Mode but it seems that the only way to make it work is OTG USB cable such as Nokia with USB Stick/SD Card reader attached with .nbh file on it.
Will try that in few days as my cable will arrive - I am curios do I need to make a Gold Card for it or ot - but as my phone is not branded I think there is no need to.
I had problems leaving USB Mode and I got some thrill moments but finally I have left with Vol- and Power kept for few seconds untill second vibrate.
I've managed to find a technique to enter the USB Bootloader Mode.
With phone switched on remove bottom cover (the cover over the SIM card). This will swtich the phone off. Then holding Vol+ & Vol- buttons, press the power button. Wait for phone to start and then release volume buttons. Phone displays:
PI06100
SPL-1.8.160015.3(131745)

For the HTC Radar (Omega), from an off state, I just pressed the power button together with Vol+ & Vol- ... and it went through.

[Q] Getting i747 ATT into download mode

Having problems getting into download mode. Tried vol + and vol - and power and pluging in usb with no luck. Also tried vol +, power with no luck. I'm sure I'm being a done head, but I need a little help. Thanks.
******Got it.....vol -, not vol +....Duh........
Try these. One of them is recovery other download. And if you intend to play flashing game , get a Jig its only few $$ bucks and makes getting into download faster/easier.
Vol up + power + home and or Vol down + power + home

Question download mode

how to boot into dl mode? sm a526u model
I believe you. 1. Turn the power off. 2. Plug the USB cable into the pc but not the phone. 3. Hold vol + and - at the same time AND plug the usb into the phone as it turns on. Should take around 5-10 seconds after the combo
