Hello,
am a new member here and need an urgent help in a complicated issue ( at least for me ;(,)
I have Samsung galxy Vibrant (T-mobile), I rooted it and tried to install custom roms on it.
I tried about 4 roms and every thing was fine.
the last try was the problem; I installed a gingerbread rom and it was good, then I tried to reboot it in system recovery mode as usual but this time the boot screen was different, plz refer to the attached image.
in this screen I have to press OK key to enter a choice, but what's the OK key I have to press???
I the past it was " press power key" and it was ok.
I tried all buttons to choose a choice but nothing works.
I tried to boot it in download mode but again no result, it hangs on recovery screen.
So please I need a help in this, how can I exit from this stupid recovery screen, or boot in download mode?
Thanks and sorry for this looooooong description

Depending on the ROM the recovery mode isn't working. For example I know Simply Galaxy 2.3 wasn't working. Did you read the whole post for the ROM? Can you post the link to the ROM you installed?
EDIT: Nevermind you can post links. Please post the name of the ROM you installed ex. Simply Galaxy, MIUI, CM7 etc

Hello,
after some research here is my problem in brief:
I have Samsung vibrant and by mistake installed a Samsung S rom.
now am stuck in the recovery mode and can not go out the reason is in Galaxy S you have to press Home key to select on option from recovery menu, in Vibrant there is no Home button like Galaxy S, so how can I get from this??????
Thanks

Hi
I just bought a brand new Tmobile Galaxy S II and am trying to root it. I am pushing volume down + home + power but it won't go into download mode. It just goes into the normal boot sequence as if I am turning the phone on normally. The buttons all work individually. Has something changed with the sequence?
Nothing has changed, you can try to enter download mode with a jig... There are several manuals how to build one its easy and you can't do anything wrong..

I just discovered that although Tmobile calls this the Galaxy S2, its a different model! Its actually a SGH-T989D. Thanks
I rooted my Galaxy Tab 10.1 to CM10. My laptop will not recognize the tablet and now it seems to be stuck on the Samsung screen. Any suggestions? I can access the ClockworkMod file area by holding down power and volume down. I searched and couldn't find a similar set of circumstances on the forums. Thank you in advance!
Make a full wipe and then flash it again. Your tab can't connect to comp because you need to tick the mtp check box at settings -> storage -> 3 dot button.

Well, I have the same device, and the same problem, i can't get to the download mode no matter what i try, i practically tried all the combination that there is, when i try RECOVERY mode, i get the dead android, the phone boots but I can't unlock the screen ( my kid tried too many combinations) the wifi is not on to try the google account thingy, the debugging mode is not on, so i can't try with the ADB too. i'm really desperate, seems like nothing is working for this phone.
If anyone can help, please !!
Check this out.Probably it works with Galaxy S Duos as well.

thank you for your quick reply,
i have already tried all these combinations though, and none of them is working :/ i'm quite familiar with rooting and flashing roms, I don't usually have problems with it, but Samsung phones seem to often have that problem, especially accessing the recovery or the download mode, i'm really lost here, can't find any solutions or help so far ! seems to me like this phone is screwed ! is it ?
