Hi,, im newbie..
I have problem with my smarthphone, i bootlop and button home cannot respond (brick).
How can i download mode on my smarthphone?
Sory Lenguage bad.
you might try posting in the A Series forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series as they will likely be able to give you more specific information.
but if the home button is not working you may want to try connecting it to your computer and using ADB.
if you need a walkthrough on using ADB to reboot into download mode just let me know.

Hello everyone,
I tried to hard reset my Vibrant phone using Odin but my PC crashes during the update and now I am unable to boot my phone and my PC don't recognize it, I have only this picture on my Vibrant even if I try the reboot with volume up+ volume down +power button
If someone can tell me how to fix it if I can.

Sorry for the image, I cannot post an image directly.
I had this before. It's another form of Download mode... you just have to keep messing with the phone and USB until the computer recognized it, then ODIN back to stock. It should work.
Thanks for your advices, I succeed to get again into download mode thanks to this website :

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
What gingerbread rom are you on?
it's Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread XXJVK
Thanks

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

Hello everyone, it appears I have bricked my device. This happened when I tried to update the operating system on my phone. I do not recall which OS it was.
I cannot enter download mode via volume down + power + home combo.
When I try to flash an OS onto the device via Odin I get 'FAIL' message, in red characters.
I have tried USB JIG option and could not do it successfully.
When I turn on my phone I do not get any logo, or start up screen.
I only get the attached picture.
If I can provide any other information please let me know.
As you can see I am a newbie at this type of thing, but I very much appreciate any level of assistance. Thank you very much xda!

If you can't enter download or recovery and a jig is not working there's nothing else we can do. But like the posy above me said. You need to provide more info on what exactly you were doing before you encountered the issue.

if you heave that image like in your post, just install kies and update the SGS2

You're in forced download mode. Flash a stock rom with Odin (Can't be bothered typing the rest, if you're motivated enough to fix your phone what I've said should be enough).
Hello,
I tried to reinstall a custom rom but I forgot to install it with CWM so it was installed with the default Android recovery. After the ZIP was installed I rebooted my phone but now it doesn't get any further than the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i logo. I tried to boot in recovery and download mode but both of them doesn't work. I hope some of you can help me. I bricked my phone before but then I could get into download mode but now I don't.
Thanks a lot

Try the following guide to see if you can force open Download Mode through odin mode. Here is the link,
How to unbrick Samsung Galaxy Ace
This guide was meant for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 and hence the Download Mode key combination is different. So make sure the change the Download Mode key combination to your own device. If you can force open the Download Mode this way, then you can try installing the stock rom. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

Hello,
Thanks for your help but it didn't work for me. My pc can't find the phone. And I installed the drivers several times. I also tried a program to force my phone into download mode but the program also doesn't recognize the phone.

As you can't enter the Recovery Mode and Download Mode, you have pretty much hard-bricked your phone. Since the above method didn't work, then you can try the USB Jig (not always guaranteed to work). If USB Jig did work, then it will force open the Download Mode so you can flash stock rom back using odin. If USB Jig doesn't work either, then your last option is to consult the Service Center. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

there might be a problem with your usb. Try using a new usb.
also, try this.
remove battery
connect to pc via usb
press volume up and down and lock key
if you get a black screen then press the volume up key
Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot! I can get my phone in download-mode now by pressing volume up and down plus the lock key. Normally it's lock key plus home button plus the volume down key but that didn't work but this did!! I can't say how much I should thank you! You saved my life.
THANKS

If the Ace follows the same 'structure' as other Samsung devices, then a USB JIG will get you to download mode without having to use the button combo.....
You simply plug it into the usb port on the device and it will automatically force download mode.
You can get them for 'pocket change' off eBay........
You WILL have to get that button sorted at some point though.......
