No USB device mounted when i connect cable , any key sequence works
When i repace battery with a power supply, I measure current input around 300mA/4V after power key pressed, means there is something boot

Not sure what that has to do with down load mode? What happens when you switch your phone off then press and hold 3 key combo - volume down, power, and home ??

My Galaxy S2 blocked on boot

I wanted to install a new rom,I reboot my phone and I installed something what I found on my micro SD,I confused something with the file of new rom,and now it doesn't start, only what I see after 1 hour is the image of boot (Samsung Galaxy S II, like that image http://www.gophoto.it/view.php?i=htt...ootingsgs5.jpg)
What can I do to start my android ?
Sorry for my little english
it's pity....it's pity that you post your noob question in general forum.
about your "problem": do a wipe/factory reset from recovery, first of all. if your problem won't be solved then reflash any other firmware through odin
take your battery out, put it back
hold:
volume up + home + power, when GSII logo shows up release them, it will enter recovery mode
reflash your rom, kernel and stuff
if nothing works download odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278)
hold volume down + home + power, will enter download mode
from there you can flash stock ROM using odin. Take a look at the guide above.
post with more details next time.

afaik if it the screen turns on, even only for SII logo, you can enter download mode.
with the phone turned off hold vol down + home + power it will show a warning screen.
if you can't do that then take to samsung repair center, they know how to do it.

Man...U'd be kind as people tried to help u
Be sure u press buttons at phone off : power+home+vol down (together at same time & release just pow button while i9100 splash screen appears) >>>> it'll enter to download mode then u can advance to flash with Odin3 1.85 (this is the most compatible Odin w/ i9100).
if u couldn't access d/l mode by as per above make sure u've adb in ur PC, connect them by USB then type in adb terminal "adb reboot download" (without quotes) to enter d/l mode.
Neither means u've hardbricked ur phone..

Pretty weird...No download mode

Hi guys
I'm facing a problem i'm not very comfortable with...
Just bought for my wife a Galaxy S2 running Gingerbread 2.3.5.
I planned to root it and migrate him later on to latest Sammy on JB...
As per many tutos, to root the tel, you inject ( using Odin) the right CF_root from chainfire once the telephone is in the so called download mode
and here comes the problem...Vol- & Home & Pwr do nothing...It just boots the tel...No DL mode at all !!!
Are there GS2 around with no DL mode ? or is there a way to force this DL mode ?
( I've tried a suggestion which did not work..i.e remove batt , wait 30s, press vol-,pwr, home and reiensert batt without releasing the keys)
Any suggestion more than welcome

Tried a USB jig? They are intended to force DL mode. Never used one myself though. What you've already done would have been my first port of call. Also, have you tried recovery mode? (Vol up, Home, power). That way you can tell if its the vol. down button thats not recognising the keypress. On my tablet, that's the case, it takes a bit of poking/fiddling to get into recovery mode as my vol up button is sketchy.

You can try something.....turn off phone,and pull out-reinstert battery.Don't turn on yet!Now start pressing and holding the VOL DOWN button only.With phone turned off,and pressing the VOL DOWN key,put in charger.Keep holding the button,until you see Download mode.If that doesn't work,maybe VOL button is faulty.Also,try a Jig.It has to work
Yeah...the USB Jig was THE solution...and without yr suggestion I would'nt have had the idea to use it..and this for a good reason...My own GS2 does not react to USB jig ( the only solution to enter DL mode is the key combination) where my wife's GS2 enters DL mode ONLY with this Jig...
So one more time, thks to you all...

Ah this is ennoying...because it means that, now i'm on JB 4.1.2 this jig may not work properly...
Why do I bother ?
Simply because I have discoverd that this new GS2 has probably an H/W problem i.e The Vol Down key seems to be dead and that leads to another question Are the Vol keys simple H/W stuff, establishing contact or not or is it under software control ?
Browsing PhilZ recovery, I've seen a brief on screen message "Vol Down enabled"followed immediately by "Vol Down disabled" which I've not been able to reproduce..
So i'm in the blue....H/W or S/W problem
BTW, there may be a solution I had not thought to...
the power button , when hit, takes me to a 4 way reboot in which there is among the options, reboot in download
this may be the solution i'm after...and which I'll test as soon as my wife lets me approach her phone...lol
thks fr yr concern
I would be very careful when mucking around without the proper hardware functions. I would advise getting it fixed before continuing. If something goes wrong and you need to use the hardware combo to get into download mode to flash stock, you're stuffed. End of story. Messing with phones with no escape plan is a bad idea.

[Q] [SOLVED] How to turn on into download and recovery mode?

Hi, I recently bought a Galaxy S2 from AT&T and I wanted to know the answer of this stupid question.
I think in recovery is [Vol. Up, Vol. Down, Power]
Then what combination is for download mode?
Thanks in advance.

The key sequence given above for recovery mode is correct.
However, the key sequence for download mode is, I think, the one that works on the international version of the S2, the GT-I9100. On the AT&T version, the SGH-I777, download mode is as follows:
If you intend to flash firmware, you should have Oden open on the desktop before initiating download mode. Your USB cable should be plugged in to the computer, but not the phone. With the phone turned off, hold down both volume buttons, but not the power button, while plugging the USB cable into the phone. When the first screen appears, release the vol buttons and then use the vol + button to move to the download screen.

Interesting.
The SGH-I777 I have was purchased in early October, 2011. I just tested the vol down plus power button combination and it just boots the phone normally as if just long pressing on the power button. This behavior is governed by the secondary bootloader, so it is safe to assume that some later version of the firmware has changed the bootloader, possibly the 4.1.2 stock UCMD8.
I would guess that the majority of phones out there contain the original secondary bootloader though.

My original post states to press vol up AND vol down AND power while the USB cable is already plugged in for download mode.
the only difference between getting into recovery and dfownload for the phone is whether the usb cable is plugged in or not.

both my phone and my wife's sgh-i777 were never officially updated past ICS, although the ucmd8 modem has been flashed to each. Both phones boot to download mode using the button combination specified.
our phones were purchased second-hand, so I cannot verify the state or quality of the bootloaders beyond "functional"

@cyril279,
I just verified that your combination for download mode works on my phone. I've been reading this forum continuously for almost two years, and I can't recall ever seeing anyone post that specific method for entering download mode. Strange. But good to know.

I can't say that i learned that method by any intentional means. I'm pretty sure that I was trying to enter recovery mode while the phone was charging (via the computer). In the end, it's an easier approach for me than plugging in while voluming, but to each his own.
I'm glad to be able to bring something new to the table (however small), I sincerely appreciate your support, your signature has saved me countless times.

[Q] Download Mode not working

Hello experts,
I am not able to get into Download Mode with my Mega 6.3 running stock Android 4.2.2!
What I've triedwith phone powered down)
* Vol down + Home + Power ---> phone vibrates, display comes alive from black to grey and gets black again and shuts down (buttons still pressed; if I release any one button, normal booting is the result)
* Vol down + Power ---> same as above
* battery out, Vol up + Vol down, connect with USB-cable to PC (with Odin running and tar-file inserted) ---> same as above but battery charging symbol appears
Any suggestions are very well appreciated!!!

Will your mega actually boot and run? If so I'd suggest, of your rooted downloading something like quick boot or another menu boot app that will automatically be reboot you into download mode. Also make sure when you hold the buttons that you hold volume down and home then press and hold power. Sometimes phones can be a bit wonky with button commands

You've gotta hold home and volume down,...then press and hold power usually hold all 3 for like 10 or so seconds until it reboots, keep holding and bam.
Again no succsess! If I hold Vol down + Home and then press Power (from Homescreen) the phone shuts down and stays that way no matter how long I press/hold the buttons... The moment I release the buttons the phone boots normal!
I tried other buttons:
Vol down & up ---> phone starts in "Secure Mode"
Vol up ---> phone starts in "Recovery Mode" (can I use this mode for rooting?)
I am absolutely frustrated... but thanks for your help!!!
It all sounds quite a lot like a problem that I have. My screen broke and when the phone came back from service, my download mode was gone. It turned out that it was just blank graphically. One problem is that that when you enter download mode normally, you let go of the buttons when you see the graphics. If you keep pressing the buttons, then the device restarts after a while. I wonder if you can time it so that you enter download mode ( if your problem is the same as mine) and then press power and then volume up (the normal way to set download mode to receive flash) and then see if Odin recognizes the phone? I ordered a JIG to see if that would give me graphics in download mode, but it didn't. It worked the same way as the "blind key combo" so I tried flashing despite no graphics and it worked as it should. It felt a bit scary flashing through a broken download mode but I did it... That's my story
You can use Wanam Xposed (you have to be rooted and have installed Xposed Framework). In Wanam -> System you will find future 'Enable 4 way reboot menu'. Tick it and in 'Power switch menu' under 'Restart' you will find 4 Reboot options:
- Reboot
- Recovery
- Hotbot
- Download
It could resolve your problem, at least temporarely.
Of course there will be not 'download mode graphic' either but you can be sure so you are REALLY in download mode
Ullebear stated that his/her phone is not routed, so maybe Kingo root would be a good idea. I haven't tried it but I'm fairly certain it does not require you to be in download mode for the rooting process. Xposed and Wanam-stuff can be applied after that in order to more easily reach download mode without having to time the button pressing combo.
Please ullebear, let us know how it goes. I'm really curious about whether your problem is of the same nature as mine.
Kingo Root is working flawlessly on Mega GT-I9205, I have checked it myself.

Normaly you have to push volume up to continue but not with the jig you go straight into download mode.
Hello everybody...
In fact my phone wasn't able to go into "Download Mode" after getting it back from a repair of my display! I guess the authorized Samsung repair changed something in the firmware which always gave me a blank screen after pressing the correct button combination...
As suggested, I tried to go blindly into "Download Mode" by pressing Vol Up at the blank screen, but it didn't work
So here finally my solution (Kingo Root was too "suspicious" for me):
I ordered a USB Jig via Ebay compatible with Samsung Galaxy S2, S3 and Note (Mega was not listed as a supported type) for 2 bucks.
I powered down the handy and inserted the Jig ---> blank screen (but I hoped it would be the "blanked" warning screen before "Download Mode").
I pressed Vol Up, opened Odin, disconnected the Jig and connected the Mega via USB with the PC.
From there everything went smoothly Phone was recognized and I was able to root with installation of SuperSU!
Thanks for all you help - you are a great forum with very helpful members!!!
By the way: I am from Germany and my phone came preinstalled with French firmware!

Hi glad the jig worked for you its a cheap and simple solution.

HELP! Deleted OS by accident and cant access Recovery Mode TWRP and now bootloop

Hello there, I own a galaxy s3 for quite a while and I remember I rooted the device and flashed the Revolutionary S5 ROM via odin long time ago (I did all this with the help of several youtube videos because I am an ignorant in this matter).
But well the problem started when I was going to make a factory reset to the phone because I lent it to a friend and when I got it back I just wanted to clean it and wipe all the info. I entered to recovery mode (twrp) and by accident I wiped all the phone had including te OS. I noticed it because when I was going to power off the phone in recovery mode it told me that there was no OS.
So now the phone is in a bootloop, because when I try to turn it on I only see the samsung galaxy logo and thats it, the same when I plug the phone to the power it only shows the battery screen.
I also have the problem with the volume up key that doesnt work so I cant access the recovery mode. Only the download mode using the volume down+home+lock button combination but still i cant do anything because of the volume up buttom that doesnt work.
If someone can help me with this problem I would really appreciatte it. Explaining me like a 5 yo.

No I dont, I can enter download mode by pressing the volume down + home+ lock button. But after that I cant do anything else because in download mode it tells me to press volume up to continue and volumen down to cancel. And unfortunately my volume up button doesnt work.
Any ideas?
The jig will put the phone into download mode, no buttons required.
To use the jig, remove battery, insert jig, insert battery.

Any other way I can get into download mode without the jig?
I don't know of any other way to get into download mode.
The jig works with many models of Samsung phones.
Op states he can access download mode but not recovery. Flash the latest stock firmware twice via odin and factory reset in between flashes. Make sure the firmware matches your phone region etc and must android 4.3.

Sorry to bother you but can you tell in depth how to do that without using the volume up key, because I cant fully access the download mode. I just get stuck in the screen that says press volume up to continue or volume down to cancel.
Solved.
Maybe its not the best way to fix it but I inserted a little blade into the volume buttons and took the button out, I clean it a little bit and inserted it so that the volume up key could function (not fully). So that way I accessed recovery mode and flashed the rom I had using an extsd card where I previously copied the zip of the rom. Now I will flash the stock rom twice and who know from there.
Thanks all for your answers

Ah, ok then that isn't download mode at all.
Looks like you'd be best sending it to a repair shop because at this point you need the buttons working. You could dismantle the phone and short the button pad with a small metallic object but if your skills don't range to that i would advise against it as it is very easy to damage the component when shorting it out manually.
