it's dead plzzz help me to fix it
Are u referring to the market? if so... while on market page..press the menu button.
No. Download mode... hold volume down and boot it up, just hold down both until it pops up.
Why is it that there are like 4 different ways posted of how to boot into Download mode on each of the download mode threads but none of them work for me? Is it because I'm retarded and missing something simple or is this phone really that touchy to boot into download mode?
Can someone either post a very detailed account of how to boot the phone into Download mode or post a picture as proof that you have reached download mode successfully so I can at least know what it is supposed to look like should I ever make it there. Prob a good thing I havent made it there yet as I'd just end up flashing the wrong rom and mess up my phone, but it is just really bugging me that people have been posting about this, yet none of the methods in the posts have worked for me.
So far I've tried vol up+pow, vol down+pow, and vol up/down+pow with usb plugged in....Vol up+pow from the phone being fully booted and all the other combinations from recovery and the charging battery screen. What am I missing? Thanks to anyone who can point out my retardation, should it be my fault that it is not working for me.
I have recorded a video for my problem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYLI8gUN3S4
I was able to root my Vibrant following the thread in here... u gotta hold down BOTH the volume up and down keys AND the power key.... it worked... ( use ur right hand...three fingers to make sure u do it right)
thank you
I tried these
Hold down; {volume both UP and DOWN + Power }
Hold down; {volume both UP and DOWN + Power } + plug in USB
Hold down; {volume DOWN + Power } = Recovery mode
Hold down; {volume UP + Power } = upload mode !
I tried more than 5 millions times what can i do
are there a ways open the internal SDcard then put update.zip and use recovery mode instead download mode ?
I had this same problem also the first day I got my phone...I installed an update.zip that caused the phone not to boot, and for the life of me could not get it into download mode to flash with odiin3. I read all the download mode post, so I thought maybe it was whatever I installed in the update.zip that cuased the button layout to change and thats why I couldn't figure it out. But I returned the phone...and now I still cannot get the phone into download mode.
To my understanding holding vol up+down and then hitting power sends you into recovery, which is totally different from download mode...So can someone clear this up...is the same screen displayed for download and recovery, just with different modes activated on the phone, or do they both show different pictures? Also again...I have still not reached download mode...so if you have a detailed account of how to do such...please post it...
Thanks.
Adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
Do that while in recovery...
Also, I if vol down and power don't work try vol up because you may have flashes a European updated and their buttons are different. For me if flipped the volume buttons.
Oh, and hold the buttons through two cycles seems to help me

Ok, I made a sh**ty video just now, uploading to youtube...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9LYLoK1Qog
EDIT: The video isn't the best, the camera apparently didn't like the screen much and the lighting is bad but I think it gets the point across... Sorry for being so monotone...
I tried to open internal;Sdcard but I couldn't iconsider that is the solution
I need to give an authorization to do this like : Mount from the notification menu to open the internal sdcard
I wrote some commands by run so appear to me; permission denied
iam so sad
iam going to go to t-mobile store they might solve my problem
I seriously can't get my vibrant to download mode. I have check every combination and no I haven't flssh any firmware. I am in the stock one. This is serious problem. Could it be that it has being block in any way by tmobile?? But them there are some of you that can get into download more very easy. Mine just won't. I can get to recovery mode.
I have tried:
1. hold Volume Down then hold power - vibrant splash screen - reboot after 10 secs.
2. hold Volume Down + hold power at the same time - vibrant splash screen - reboot after 10 secs.
3. hold power then hold Volume Down - vibrant splash screen - reboot after 10 secs.
4. hold Volume Down then press power and release - vibrant splash screen - boot of firmware very slow.
5. All those previous combination's with cable plug into phone
6. All those previous combination's with cable plug into phone and computer
Please help!!!
Thread in wrong section, this belongs in general.

I'm having the same problem. Simply cannot get into download mode. I have to believe that something else is going on here!
hi guys
I went to RadioShack I told them , I was honest to explain the problem that I downloaded a wrong firmware EU on my phone so the software broken
although they exchange the phone hhhhh
I am so happy now
i really won't back to rooting and "download mode" until hell freezes over
I'll be a polite customer just waiting the officially updates

Just rooting isnt that dangerous... it was the fact that it was the wrong firmware, not just that you flashed the firmware. Either way it's your choice and if you are happy with that more power to you, but the risk of doing anything with the rooting process is pretty low.
I've had good repeatable luck getting into download mode as follows:
1. Power down phone with no USB cable connected.
2. Once you see "good bye" connect USB cable.
3. Wait till battery indicator is visible, and you can see the current charge in green.
4. Hold vol+ and vol-.
5. Press power until screen goes black, then let go of power only.
6. Should see the yellow digger.
Again, your mileage may vary.

I can not thank you enough for this. Although I just took the battery out instead of powering down. So it appears the key is to making sure the battery indicator is on, and that you release the power button as soon as the screen goes black. I tried so many other combinations...even holding the power button past the screen turning black, but I got this on first try.
Thanks!
If you've got ADB setup just do 'adb reboot recovery'...
Is there a differnence between download mode and recovery mode?
I installed this kernel from Chainfire's thread: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KH4-v4.1-CWM4.tar
However, my phone says that I have the KH7 kernel, but I figured this one ( KH4 ) would be close enough. It flashed fine, and I have root access and all, but my back button no longer works at all (not even haptic), and my Home button is acting like a back button - meaning I essentially have lost my Home button...
But now that my device is rooted, when I boot into debug mode, I get the CWM menu, meaning I can no longer use Odin correct? But because my home button is gone, I cannot select "install zip from sd card"
My question is this: Without the use of the Home button on my device, is there anyway to flash a new kernel?
Thanks to anyone who can answer this.
You just flashed cf root for the INTERNATIONAL SGS2 and NOT FOR THE ATT SGS2. That is why you lost some buttons. Make sure to use ATT SGS2 ROMS/KERNELS. There is a post about how to fix your issue in the att section to get you back to the att version of the SGS2.
Brought to you by my KICKASS CM7 AT&T SGS2
I realize I flashed the wrong version, but my question is how do I flash a different version without the use of my Home key? That is the issue.

You boot into Download mode and flash the right one in Odin. How hard is that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
Can I still use Odin even if I have already rooted the device? Do I just hold up vol + down vol + power to boot into download mode? I thought that was called debug mode...
From the FAQ:
How do I put my phone into Download mode so I can flash w/ Odin?
Take out the battery from the back to ensure your phone is completely off, then put the battery back in. Now hold down on both the Up and Down Volume buttons and plug the USB coming from your PC into your SGS2. Once you see a warning screen let go of the volume buttons. Hit the Up Volume button to continue into download mode.
I found that you can just click the volume down + power button to get into download mode.
I think everyone is missing the point of my question. Can I flash my phone with Odin EVEN IF I ALREADY HAVE CWR INSTALLED? I cannot use CWR to flash as I lost the use of my Home button (cannot select from the menu)
I resolved my own issue. There is a difference between RECOVERY mode and DOWNLOAD mode. To boot into recovery you hold vol up + vol down + power, to boot into download mode you JUST hold vol up + vol down, then plug into USB. I did not realize there were two different modes, sorry for wasting time and causing confusion.
Yup, you can always boot into download mode as long as you didn't flash a bootloader.
Another way of saying it is:
If the screen turns on at all, you can recover by flashing something correct in download mode.
Okay so I had CM7 on my Samsung Vibrant and I wasn't satisfied because it had trouble with the GPS so I decided to go back to stock rom so I could then use a different Rom.. I flashed back with Odin ..
I'm now trying to get into clockwork recovery but whenever I'm in Rom Manager it doesn't reboot to it, the screen just freezes for a second and then doesn't do anything, just stays on the same screen.
I can't get into the DOWNLOAD mode as I've tried all the different combinations of Volume Up, Volume Down and Power button..
I really don't want to be stuck on 2.1 and feel like such a noob haha
Oh and the first screen when booting up my phone says I-9000 which I know isn't stock...soo maybe I downloaded the wrong stock in the first place? :/
That means you are on GB bootlooders. To get in to recovery, it's volume down + power button; download mode is volume up + power button. That or vice-versa, I never remember. But there is no Clockwork for 2.1.
I highly recommend this, has everything you need in one place.

Volume up + Volume down then plug in the USB. That's how you go to download mode.
No I've tried that..
1: Take battery out of phone.
2: Put battery back in phone.
3: Press and hold VolumeUp+Power Button at the same time. (hold until it goes into DL mode)
4: Connect to computer and Odin to JFD Stock image.
Help,
My phone just stuck at the Samsung Galaxy SII GT-19100G screen..
I can't enter CWM recovery mode or Download mode as well
When I press Volume Button UP + Home + Power, it will turn off the phone and never turn back on. When I release the Volume Button Up + Home, it turned back on and stuck at the screen again.
In fact I can't even power off my phone.. When I power off it, it will auto restart and stuck at the screen again..
Anybody.. please help
I'm only taking a wild stab in the dark here but my guess is you flashed firmware for the I9100 onto your I9100G device.
Best to download firmware for the "G" model and flash via download mode. If you have a jig it might come in handy.
Looks like you have some research to do. Good luck.

Yes, lucky I manage to flash it back to the original ROM.

For reference Vol Up + Home + Power is used to start the phone into Manual Mode, not turn it off. Vol Down + Home + Power is used to start the phone into Update Mode.

NO NO NO it puts the phone to RECOVERY MODE
not turn it off. Vol Down + Home + Power is used to start the phone into Update Mode
NO NO NO It puts the phone to DOWNLOAD MODE .

I have a i9300 s3. I upgrade to 4.1.2 jb , my phone become safe mode. however i try to get out but i failed.
1. restart by press back button
2. restar by press volume up button and other also cant get out from safe mode.
downgrade to 4.0.4
I press volume down key+ home key + power to downloader mode, and downgrade to 4.0.4 by odin. after downgrade 4.0.4, i go to recovery mode, but my volume own button not working. i use odin running to cwm recovery mode, press up volume button until can wipe factory reset and reboot, it' out of safe mode. but the volume down button no working after boot. When I press volume down key+ home key + power it still can go into downloader mode.
After 1 week, my phone auto download software upgarde and install to 4.1.2, but it cant cause cwm recovery mode disturb it. after that my camera no function at all. now i wanna try to go downloader mode again, but my phone volume up button also become no working at all to go downloader mode, but it working when the phone is on.
Actually whats was going on?? how can i upgrade to 4.1.2 ?? or i just can stay at 4.0.4 but now my camera no working.
Anybody looking for this problem before?? :crying::crying::crying:
That's one hell of an unlucky upgrade. I don't know mine upgraded/rooted without problem. Can't you just return to stock once you're able to enter download mode?
Fail to understand the problem be specific with current problem .

First thing, and i don't pretend to be rude, write your question in the right way.
There are Forum Rules for all of US.
The second one, the download mode, is by pressing volume DOWN(not up)+HOME+POWER. The one you are choosing as far as i comprehend by you спасибоwords, leads totCWM (either stock or 3d party one).
The third, if you somehow managed to downgrade to ICS(4.0.4), just press OTA update
Cheers!

Actually when the phone boot on ICS 4.0.4 the volume up button is working and the volume down button is not working.
Ya, i know that the download mode is by pressing volume DOWN + HOME＋POWER.
I can going to page WARNING!! a custom OS --------------- after need press Volume UP to continue and Volume DOWN to cancel, but the volume up and volume down button also not working.
Maybe is because my volume DOWN button problem, so make me headache.
I know that CWM (either stock or 3d party one). But i need it to wipe my factory reset after downgrade to 4.0.4 by Odin.

When it was JB 4.1.2, It will boot on SAFE Mode, However how many times i reboot , reboot by press back key or up volume button too.
I cant get off from SAFE mode.
At the moment, I try to downgrade to ICS 4.0.4 by Odin. I can going to download mode. after Odin pass, It stuck at the samsung logo.
I try to go to recovery mode by press VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER. I can go to recovery mode but the Volume DOWN not working and i cant go to wipe reset.
I going to download mode again and running PDA with CWM tar. I use CWM recovery mode to going to wipe reset by press VOLUME UP button only. Pls try to understand this.
Once I wipe reset, I can boot my phone on ICS 4.0.4. The moment all function ok, camera too. Just the Volume DOWN button not working.
I use it for a week, Software upgrade automatic but it failed. It stuck on CWM recovery mode. I try reboot again, the Volume UP button is WORKING, the camera not working. The big problem is I cant go to download mode again, just stuck a WARNING page, and my volume UP and DOWN also not working when i stuck a warning page.

Or you can just issue an ADB reboot download

I also have a button stucked, which you can easily see in the bootloader, as it scrolls automatically all the options. It is hw issue, but wanted to know if there is a kernel or someway in which I can disable the volume rocker entirely.
Is there anyway to disable safe boot when booted up into safe boot. I can install apps but they will not open due to the fact that I am in safe mode. Anything will be greatly appreciated.
