i flashed this and i also get no power or nothing. i am on a captivate.

Little more information, I have no charge indication when USB is plugged in. I have tried with odin 1.3 to get into download. do i have to have the ODIN one click for it to work?
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Odin one click is what causes ppl to lose the 3 button combo. To odin one click back to stock just make sure you have the right samsung drivers installed then open odin on your pc. Take out your sim and external sd (optional) and then hold both volume keys (no power key) then plug in the usb to the phone and you should go into download mode (yellow android shoveling). See if odin recognizes your phone (should say added with a yellow com sign in the box) then press start and watch your phone flash back to stock jf6. Make sure you get the right odin one click jf6 and not the ji6 froyo one.
[Captivate Android Development] C3P0LOL:
You should be using the Odin to ji6 with the three button fix included that I made. If your three button does not work, you should not use the Odin one click.
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
This might be a noob question but I thought the whole point of having something like download mode was so that I could do really stupid things and this section would be protected.

However, if dl mode is fixed via software, and requires data on your internal sdcard, doesn't that defeat the purpose?

What I'm saying is, when will this help?

Say for instance I'm flashing my phone and I knock it accidentally unplugging USB and making the battery fall out and now I have a totally corrupted and foobar ROM. BC this download mode fix was software, its gone, right, and Im just as hard bricked as without it?
[Captivate Android Development] Blaine0002:
So is there anything I can do if I'm stuck on the pc--!--phone screen with no 3 button fix?
[Captivate Android Development] C3P0LOL:
Simply put....no. Normally no. The sbl.bin resides in a place that your rom shouldn't be affecting.

If you have something that replaces your stblaw.bin, then us, you might be screwed. This .bin file should always be available to your phone bootloader, unlsless something.mg specifically overwrites it. What you've described in your scenario would not affect the sbl.

Even those with working threw button combos can be messed up by removing the sbl.bin file. Since nothing youre flashing is touching the sbl.bin, other than the fix, you should pretty Mich always be safe. The Odin one click will wipe this file though. Use my Odin with the three button fix if you need to go back to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] C3P0LOL:
Bricked...sorry man.
[Captivate Android Development] Jay120171:
The Odin3 one-click "Factory ROM" is what removed my 2 and 3 button. I installed it after using one of the Froyo ROM's and lost my ability to boot to Download or Recovery. I then used the SDK to get in to Download and installed Cog9 dated 10/25 using Odin but I was very nervous about not being able to boot using the 2 or 3 button combo. Then this morning I installed ROM manager (so I could have a little more control) and applied the 3ButtonFix. All is well now so I give you a big thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] Blaine0002:
welp time to return it to the ATT store and pretend I know nothing about what happened.
[Captivate Android Development] Hammerheart:
Ok well Samsung just went way, way up in my book. I bricked my phone trying to put the 3-button fix on it after I went to Cog 2.2 beta 2 some weeks ago. I was trying to upgrade to the latest version when I screwed up and bricked the phone with the phone-exclamation-computer icon and no way to get into download mode. I called Samsung and told them what was on the screen and once they verified I couldn't get into recovery, they had me send it in for free. I was just passed the 30-day return period for AT&T. The entire turn around time for them to get it, fix it, and send it back was less than a week. I don't know if any of the other people that have bricked it have called Samsung directly, but I had a really good experience myself.
[Captivate Android Development] Harveythedog:
Sorry for the display of stupidity, but this is the general consensus correct way Captivate-wise?

That it's a bad idea to use ROM manager/Clockwork and I should rename 3buttonFix.zip to update.zip (move or rename the ClockworkMod update.zip first) and go the stock recovery route??
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
Thanks C3, that's a pretty good explanation

SO far, I have been flashing to JF6 stock rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

Can you please provide a link to Odin to JI6 with three button fix included please? Should I use that going forward whenever instructions say "Flash back to Stock ROM"?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
In my opinion, you should.

{Stock Rom} Odin JF6 with 3 button fix
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Thank you so much.
[Captivate Android Development] Stewart Leask:
i have a phone that was flashed to JF6 using odin one-click then back to cog beta5 2.2. my other phone is running the newest cog beta and runs amazingly better so i decided i would flash the newest cognition to the beta5 phone. at this point in time i discovered the downfall to the 3button combo not working, as this phone suffers from it. i can't install this update from clockwork mod because that doesn't work with froyo and i couldn't just rename it to update.zip and do reinstall packages from stock recovery. i cannot get the phone into download mode via volume button press/usb plug in nor does it work with 3-button combo/power button release after 2 cycles. is there another way to force the phone into download mode so i can do the proper jf6 with 3button update and not worry about this again?

im a complete idiot and cannot figure out command prompt to save my life without idiot instructions :\
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Can't you flash update.zip via ROM manager?
[Captivate Android Development] Stewart Leask:
it gives me errors when i choose install zip from sd card option, won't even go into CWM. it also gives me errors when i rename 3button fix zip file to update.zip and try to install from stock recovery. all i need to do is either get this fix on the phone or force it into download mode but i just can't seem to get it there. everyone else who has the 3button problem says you can do volume up/down and plug the usb cable in but this phone doesn't work like that for whatever reason.
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
I am not expert so don't do this till someone else confirms, but I think only way left is to go to download mode via adb

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

How to enter download mode:

Method 1:ADB - from recovery or normally booted with usb debugging on

1. Open a cmd prompt/console/shell

2. adb shell

3. adb reboot download

Again this might be risky but that is all I got.
[Captivate Android Development] pkley:
Can we sticky this?

I hadn't flashed in weeks and forgot about the potential brick if my ODIN flash didn't work...which it didn't...

Nobody's fault but my own flaky memory forgetting that I had seen that someone was working on a fix, but the fix came while I was on vacation and I missed the thread. Whoops!
[Captivate Android Development] Stewart Leask:
im so stupid with command prompt, the prompt needs to be used on the computer not the phone correct? so i plug phone in with debugging like usual. open command prompt on my computer and try these commands with no success? likewise i downloaded a command prompt for the phone itself off the market and it still doesn't work. i have zero experience with command prompt anything so please be gentle haha
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Without using the command prompt, I don't know of a way.

Get the 3 button fix from here and unzip it.

Get adb_files.zip here.

Unzip adb_files.zip.

Open the folder where you unzipped (the folder containing adb.exe).

Look at the bar in the top of the folder window that show the location of the folder (It'll look like Computer > Local Disk (C: ) > blah > blah > blah). Click the small folder icon there and it should change to the actual full pathname of the folder. Right click and copy the pathname to the clipboard. (I'm assuming you have Win 7 or Vista, but the idea is pretty much the same for XP.)

Press windows key+r on your keyboard.

Type: cmd

Press enter

You should be presented with a command prompt.

Type: cd "

Click the small icon in the upper right corner of the command propt window and click edit->paste. The path name of the folder where adb was unzipped should be pasted into the command prompt.

Type: "

Press enter.

Plug in your phone now.

Start the odin flasher and select the PIT.pit and PDA.tar files.

Go back to the command prompt and type: adb reboot download

Go back to odin when you see the download mode screen on your phone and the phone should be detected. Click start.
[Captivate Android Development] Stewart Leask:
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

you just fixed this phone 100%! thank you thank you thank you
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Congrats.

Next time you need to flash to stock ROM remember to use {Stock Rom} Odin JF6 with 3 button fix

as explained in this post.
[Captivate Android Development] Blaine0002:
Just so you guys know I was able to exchange my phone at the ATT store with no issue as they have never seen the error before.

Sadly the phone I got is another 1008 model. hahah, at least I am aware this time.
[Captivate Android Development] pkley:
Were you still within the 30 days? I called AT&T with the same situation and they're priority expressing a replacment at no cost as they also hadn't seen that error before and were not aware that there was a batch of phones without the 3 button feature working
[Captivate Android Development] Blaine0002:
yes it was within 30 days, but as someone expressed earlier in this thread, after that period of time you might have luck contacting samsung directly.

I applied Shep211's "Tayutama Themed JPM Rom with JPM modem, I9000 reoriented kernel v2.1 10.23.2010, Voodoo & HSUPA (10-25-10)" ROM

I tried Recovery using buttons "Volume up down + Power" and am unable to go to recovery.

Can I apply the zip? I am using Samsung Captivate batch 1008

Edit: Applied the zip and am able to get to recovery now. Thank you so much.

Note: Shouldnt 3 button fix be included in all roms now similar to what Cog 2.2 does? I am guessing there would be many like me who are using ODIN to flash to stock ROM and losing this critical capability.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I was worried that I was going to get a 1008 when I had my phone repaired, but I ended up with a 1009.

Are there any known problems with 1009? It boots into Recovery and such just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Hammerheart:
This is rather unexpected. I got my phone back from Samsung the other day and I was testing it out today. It turns out that my phone is now completely fixed. I have a working 3-button combo. It never worked on my phone before I bricked it and sent it in. It now works to get into both recovery and download modes.

I'm very reluctantly curious to find out if Odin 1-click will stop my 3-button from working again. I'm probably not going to try and find out unless I have to though...
[Captivate Android Development] PowerPC:
Maybe it's a weird question. However, does anyone that having 3 button combo issues tried to have the 3 button fixed.

Then flash to the europe rom like JPM and the 3 button still works?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Other SGS models use different combos, like vol up+home+power. Not only that, but the buttons may be mapped differently. So it may still work, different buttons may be used.
[Captivate Android Development] PowerPC:
Right. I've done this on my other non-3-botton-issue phone which works fine with different key combination.

Now, I got 2nd phone that came with 3-botton locked. I then use the fix here. HOwever, I don't know if flashing JPM messed it up again since it also comes with sbl.bin. Not only this, to use europe rom, we need to be able to go to download mode to reflash kernel again and download mode is a must at that point.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjoelo:
odin question

sorry for the newb question...

every developer suggests that you odin one click and master clear before you flash a new rom. but i don't want to lose the 3 button to get into download mode. is there a version of odin one click that will master clear and keep your 3 button download mode? i'm using a version of odin that keeps the download mode, but it doesn't do the master clear.

is the only option to use odin one click and use this fix, then do the master clear?

sorry ... i'm confused. please help.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Mikey there is no issue with batch 1009s. And for ninjoelo you can the the odin with three button fix to flash to stock then just use the odin one click only for master clear or do a hard reset (master clear) with the dialer option: *2767*3855#
[Captivate Android Development] ninjoelo:
thanks for the tip. helps a bunch.

is there any possible difference between the two stock roms. i could transfer a pixar digital copy to the one-click rom, but lost the ability to sync or playback with the 3 button fix rom. any ideas? thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Hmm im not sure. If you end up always wanting to use the regular one click (like me) then you should look into buying a jig off ebay. I have a 1008 and when I use the regular one click I lose my abililty to enter recovery/dl modes so I bought a jig just in case something happens while im flashing cuz it could render your device useless. Jig works flawlessly though. Hope this helps.

[Captivate Android Development] connexion2005:
Awesome work. This works great on my 1008 build.
[Captivate Android Development] pc103:
Awesome DG! Pushed it via adb on my batch 1008 running JF7 and now recovery and download work for the first time. Thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] johan8:
That is Bootloader, something also control how you can trigger it during boot up.

Try hold VolUP+Power, just hold both keys, (not 3 keys)

if your screen go black, then pc-!-phone come back again,

your phone is not bricked and key combo is working!

Then, hold VolUP+Power,

if then screen go black, hold VolDown+Power Immediately when the screen is still black !

After that you will see the nice Yellow Download mode screen !

I use i9000 bootloader, no 3 key is needed, not Up+Down+Power,

just Up+Power and Down+Power.

Help for us who are trying to learn...

What are the different button-pushing "commands?"

Do they do the same thing (e.g. always put you in download mode) or are there multiple functions available?

Can we run a test to see which ones work on our phone, and be able to cancel it or back out without harm after seeing if it worked or not?

If yes, what is the safe back out procedure/sequence?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Assuming you have a Captivate, for recovery mode: use both volume buttons and the power button at the same time until it flashes the black screen after the AT&T logo twice! So once you see the black screen the SECOND time, let go of the POWER BUTTON ONLY!! And continue to hold both volume buttons. You should enter recovery mode. To backout, just hit reboot system and it does just that.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
I have a 1009 build and the 3 button mode is locked.
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
How many hands do you need to do this?!
[Captivate Android Development] Minced:
No Dice

Still doesn't work for me. The 2 button download always worked but 3br never has. Except probably before I ever flashed any roms or started using odin.

I just flashed this and tried it after it reboot. Tried it twice, and no dice. Up+Dw+Pwr, 2 black screens, let go of power, keep holding. Everytime it just boots up normally. Been using odin with 3bf impregnated in it already every time I FTS. But still nothing.

I want to flash CM7 soon but need this key feature. Anyone know what's going on?:confused:

Edit: Running Serendipity 5.12 currently

retired: Perception 10, Cognition 2.3b8

If this helps with anything
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Try holding down the vol up and down and plug in the usb cable.
[Captivate Android Development] Minced:
Well that has always worked but that's only for getting to download mode.

I was trying to get to recovery.

Anyways I just got it. Instead of releasing power button on the second black screen I released it before, on my serendipity screen, or your ATT screen since I changed my boot screen. Finally :] Mission accomplished.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
It's all a timing thing. Glad to see you got it.
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
thanks! This allowed me to repair 3 button combo and flash CM7 today!

For me, it was hold all three buttons until the ATT logo pops up and then release power button. Works wonderfully now.
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
Forgive the question if it's been covered (or even if it's obvious). I am going to try Gingerbread tomorrow and am doing some preliminary work to ensure everything goes smooth.

I am currently using Andromeda 1.2 and my 2 & 3 button combos work fine to get me into Download and Recovery modes.

If I flash back to stock and find that my button combos don't work, can I run the update.zip file on a completely stock phone, or do I have to root first?

Just curious as I've not had to ensure that my 2&3 button combos worked before flashing a ROM before.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Im going through the same issue as you. I have a batch 1008 and when I Odin back to stock with the One Click I lose my button combos. I was at stock and couldn't use the button combos then I copied the CWM update.zip and applied this fix and it still didn't work. If you think you will lose the button combo, then use the other Odin that has the 3 button fix in it and don't use the One Click by DG. Search for the one with the fix included!! Its by C3POLOL.
[Captivate Android Development] demonblod:
this is exactly what happened to me. word for word. My phone is batch 1008. And I USED to have 3-button recovery mode AND 2button + usb download mode

I have lost both of those through odin or CWM or whichever. I used sbl_cwm.zip to recovery my download mode, but this 3buttonfix.zip did NOT fix my phone for recovery mode.

Here ya go. 3 Button Fix
[Captivate Android Development] yguns76:
I found this out the hard way. I had 3 button recovery before, went to Gingerbread, then one-click back to stock, and lost 3 button recovery. I could still get into recovery via adb but that is not the point obviously. I also needed to make a JIG to get into download mode. So be warned and prepared before you used one click odin.
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
And why is that? If this is a known issue, and obviously it is, why don't the ODIN authors put out versions with a 'good' sbl (whatever that is)?

Is there an ODIN thread here?
[Captivate Android Development] yuhenyo:
hi. can I just flash this using the CWM that comes with CM7?
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Depends on what bootloaders your on. the i897 bootloaders make things different, and I haven't heard of issues with "3 button" on the new gingerbread bootloaders.

My device never had the issue, so hopefully someone else knows more. I would say, for now, stay away from this and go with the gingerbread i897 bootloaders instead.

You can run any captivate rom with the i897 gb bootloaders. Then not worry about flashing bootloaders again, less times you flash boot loaders, the less risk of a hard brick.
[Captivate Android Development] yuhenyo:
owww. the thing is, I can't get into download mode no matter what I do. I've tried adb, and even the terminal emulator. The three button thing also, doesn't work. Can I flash a gb bootloader without dl mode? My phone isn't even detected by Odin anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] yuhenyo:
i think I didn't change any bootloaders. I just flash stock 2.1, then rooted it, then installed CWM then flashed CM7. So in that process, was there a time where the bootloader was changed? Sorry for being a noob, just got my captivate yesterday.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
^ When u Odined to 2.1 u got the eclair bootloaders.

U probably need a jig to get into download mode since going to cm7. Unless if u install the correct drivers again and ur computer then recognizes ur phone. I believe the cm7 uses nexus s drivers. So u need the captivate drivers again.

If I am wrong on this, some one that is more experienced with cm7 please correct me. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] yuhenyo:
hmm. i can use adb for other functions like reboot to recovery. just not for download mode. will downloading the nexus s drivers fix that?
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Possibly, I'm on linux, and when I was playing with cm7, it did use different drivers.

Have you tried to power your phone completly off, plug one end of usb into computer (leave other end out of phone at this point), then hold vol up + vol - and plug in usb to phone. This is is how I get into dl mode.
[Captivate Android Development] yuhenyo:
i did. it still didn't work for me.. i'll probably try the jig thing. I hope, that works..
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
Yes, CM7 uses Nexus S drivers.
[Captivate Android Development] yuhenyo:
hmm. I downloaded the nexus s drivers but I still cant adb to download mode. maybe i installed the wrong drivers? Is there a recommended driver to download anywhere?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Get a Jig, I believe adb wont work on AOSP.
[Captivate Android Development] yuhenyo:
oww. damn. So I really hope the jig works this time. If ever it does, my plan of action will be to:

-backup

-restore to stock 2.1

-root

-install recovery

-flash this 3-button fix

-flash cm7

-restore

and everything will be the same as before and i'd still have 3-button combo right? :)
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I'm against 3 button fix in general. Useful pre gingerbread bootloaders, now its dangerous. Verify if Gingerbread bootloaders work with Cm7 ( I believe there are kernels for specific bootloaders), if they do work flash gb bootloaders and never have to worry about 3 button fix or bootloaders in general again.
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
It seems to me that gingerbread has brought with it a major downside--more frequent hard bricking--than existed before it appeared on the scene.
