Sounds like its time to send your phone in to get jtag serviced. Assuming it does not boot to the Samsung logo before it goes black. If it boots to the samsung logo, or if when you plug it in the battery chasing symbol comes in then you are only soft bricked and a Samsung download jig may save you. Good luck with that.

thank you for this post: without this i was completely stuck. 2nd option worked perfectly for me and got me into download mode. was stuck with my phone (sgs4g) unable to reboot or attempt to get into download mode.

I have tried all methods and i just end up with a screen of a battery with that white icon inside, even with method 2 when battery icon disappears i release the power button and nothing happens, any other method or solution because i have bootloop and cant do anything,
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] twisted03:
When going into download mode you dont use the power button... Just press both volume button and plug in the usb cable at the same time, wait for the Samsung splash screen and release... Make sure your usb debug is on also

My phone is on a bootloop and so i cnt be sure if dbugging is working since i flashed new rom and now this has happened.. when i plus usb i get battery chasing symbol comes up
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] twisted03:
Did you make a nandroid back up, can you get back into cwm, if so go back to cwm and restore. But in all honesty i not seeing why you cant get into download mode. It should work from the black screen when you pull the battery, but if your not in debugging i can see why it isnt working, or if you can go to cwm you can put a different rom on it and flash that one. Just a few suggestions to try...hope everything works out ok for ya...but there is a wiki that you can get all the links from...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
USB Debugging has nothing to do with download mode. You don't need to let go of the volume up/down button at any time to go into download mode. I am again scratching my head at your advice.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] masantula:
I can't get into recovery or download mode, i am also confused why i cant, its a simple step and i tried all the methods and just doesn't work, its a big disappointing..

Would this thing work for me?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] solrac1212:
are root if it its not root your device then go to the market and download quickboot
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] masantula:
I'm on a bootloop...thats my problem, if the phone was booting than i would have used ADB but i can't boot...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
The third method is the one that never fails for me.

Pull the battery.

You need to make sure you have both volume up and down pushed firmly. I have read many times people have had to push harder than they thought they would to do this.

When pushing the volume up and down button firmly - do it in a way you will be able to put the battery back in with your other hand.

Make sure your USB cable is plugged into your computer.

Plug the cable into your phone while

firmly

pushing the volume up and down button.

Then put the battery in while firmly pushing the volume up and down button and USB cable is plugged in.

If you are booting into a black screen - there is still hope for you don't worry. But if you are seeing the Samsung splash screen just keep trying and you will get it more than likely.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] twisted03:
If nothing else is working i dont see the problem in trying, none of what ive suggested is working so im out of ideas...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:

Lol...no worries, i dont need to be thanked for anything really...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] masantula:
Sigh, wont get frustrated, will keep trying although its killing me.. Lol..

Let me try the method and will let you guys know.. Thanks..

EDIT: Would this method work for me?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
That is an older One-Click package. Notice the date? I have not used it and it is probably Froyo. I don't think it will help you get into download mode.

A guide for bhundven's stock KJ6 Heimdall One-Click is in the second link of my signature. That is my recommendation once you get into download most. Is your screen black or do you see a splash screen?

Make sure you do the steps I listed in the precise order. If you let go of the volume buttons while USB cable is plugged in - it will be a no go.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I wonder is this is what he is talking about?

When using the volume button and plugging in the usb cable a warning screen comes up and says the following.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] masantula:
Let me and try getting into download mode with how you said,maybe I wasn't pressing hard ,enough. Because all I was getting if I do those keys (when no USB plugged) was the Samsung screen than the semaphore kernel screen and again same thing over and over. If the USB was plugged in than k would get this white star icon and than a battery with that star icon inside it. Nothing else.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] masantula:
No, I haven't got such message or screen.

Also make sure the cord you're using is a good cord for updating the phone. Some cords, especially the longer ones, will only charge the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] masantula:
I tried the other method and also used two different usb cables but nothing, same thing..

Edit: would a USB jig method work for me?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I've not tried a jig so I really cannot say. I imagine it would help, though. I'd lean on one of the other guys that's tried it to confirm.

Have you tried getting into recovery via:

Power the phone off.

Hold down the volume up, volume down, and power buttons.

After the Galaxy S 4G logo appears, wait a few seconds longer and you should see the logo get brighter. When that happens, let go of the power button only.

Keep holding the volume buttons until recovery appears.

I'm sure you have, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] masantula:
Yea I tried that method already and hasn't helped. I get the same screen using all the other methods mentioned :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] masantula:
And for everyone who has had this issue or is facing this issue, the USB Jig Method works :) I made my own and walla i had the phone working...god i am so relived, thanks everyone for helping me out...usb jig worked like a charm, its god sent.. My phone is now running ICS and no issues,

I had issues getting into download mode using the three button trick when I downgraded from CM7 Back to VB and my download jig put it right into download mode. I did cheat and payed 8 bucks for it. I didn't try to make one, because I knew I would have screwed it all up.

Avast, it was too late for me. I wish I found this when I was trying to do stupid dangerous stuff with my phone (somewhere in 2011). But now I got a refurbished new phone but it's now rooted and has a custom ROM thanks to a guide I saw recently this week.

Th3 did you hard brick(black screen of death), or soft brick(stalls at Samsung logo or endless boot looping?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bot42:
Jtag it, there are several vendors that offer Jtag service for about 50 bucks average, and for another 50 some will add the unbrickable mod. That is if you kept the phone.

However, in my arlier phone (Spice MI410) I could start it in download mode.

I could see the phone in my windows explorer that has boot.img, recovery fle etc.

But in my new phone (GIONEE Ctrl V3) I am not able to see this.

Hi,

My phone is the original Samsung Galaxy S I9000. The last working ROM on it I honestly can't remember as it has been on the shelf for a while. Anyway, it was ICS I believe. I attempted to flash the latest Cyanogenmod to it without doing an ODIN wipe. I should have known better than to go to a different android version without flashing stock but oh well. The ROM failed to install and then I tried I believe it was Mackay's ROM and it failed but left me with nothing but TWRP recovery. No matter what I do with the phone using all the tricks I've read on the forum I get booted into TWRP. Plugging in the USB gives me no battery icon but also TWRP.

I fear that the phone is bricked ... unless there is some other technique to get it into download mode (which I have been unable to do as I think the bootloader is damaged.)

Thanks for any and all help :)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
Did you try all the possible combinations with the volume buttons while dropping the battery in and holding the power button while plugged into usb port? I mean, both up & down, just up, just down. If I remember correctly, Samsung used a couple of different ways on different models (this is the sgs4g forum, not the 9000).

If none of that works, buy a jig. They're cheap enough. Search ebay for "Samsung download jig".
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tetakpatak:
You have two good alternatives for download mode:

- to remove battery, keep 3-button-combo pressed amd insert battery while all three buttons are pressed

- to use USB jig

You can also try to flash Mackay ROM again. You can copy zips to your external SD card on your PC and insert it then on your phone. Do full wipe (system, data, cache and dalvik)

Which android version was the Mackay you attempted to flash and which android version was the last that worked well?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnlsmy:
I for one think that this phone is the best of all the dual-core bunch and it has native support for NFC. I know that NFC can be added to any phone later like it was done to the original Galaxy S, but I think Google should definitely team up with Samsung again for this one. The only problem I see is that there is no real 4G, and Google seems to think Sprint is a better partner than the GSM based T-Mobile and other GSM based European carriers as well. I know a new Nexus Phone is imminent, and I remember a statement from Google that the Nexus phones would not be yearly based, rather they would be released with every new major OS release. With dual core phones out, Gingerbread needs to be replaced with Ice Cream Sandwich to fully support dual core. I know some believe the next Nexus is LG and nVidia, but I think the Exynos SOC totally blows away the current Tegra 2 chip, and even if the second gen Tegra 3 chip comes out, Samsung will probably beat it as they have already pledged 2GHz phones for 2012. Here's to hoping Google releases the next Nexus phone soon, I have 529 dollars waiting :D
