I am using Ganbarou_ROM_0.3b. But I dont know how to set host mode, so I cannot find usb disk.
How to set in this system?
some firmwares can switch to hostmode by turning the tab off, then powering it on and when the screen gets power (lights up) you hold down the backbutton until it has finished booting.

How to go to the Falshing ROM ? I got the Image from HTC.. and told me to do Vol Down plus Power on..
But I cant make it work ?
Any trick ?
Thanks
Turn the phone off completely.
Hold both volume up & volume down buttons and briefly press power on. Keep holding volume buttons till the screen comes on, then follow on-screen instructions.

That's how you reset to the factory defaults.
What you want to do is to completely turn off your device and then hold the vol-down button while tapping once on the power button.

It's for flashing your rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741027
according to this i didn't brick it but i can't get it into download mode!
please help! i can't get passed the vibrant screen.
before the "brick", you could enter recovery mode using the volume keys, right? how are you trying to get download mode? i mean, the type of combination you use.
if the phone its hard locked, then you can get a new one.
If not, tell us more what did you do
OK, instead
1. take the battery out
2. Unplug the usb from the phone
3. Open Odin
4. Put the battery back in
5. Hold the volume up and Volume Down
6. Then while holding Volume up and Volume Down
plug the usb wire in
This should get you into dl mode, hopefully... it worked for me
when I got the phone to computer screen.
HOPE IT WORKS if not try again till it does or repeat what the link tells you its the best way I know.
no i had to use the rom manager to get into recovery

Were you ever able to get into the stock recovery? without using ROM manager? How did you originally Root?... If you never could get into recovery using your hardware keys you may have a "keylocked" vibrant and maybe SOL...
BUT, if at anytime you've been able to get into recovery using the Vol +/- & power combo then you are fine.
Do the same steps as listed above, but when the battery Icon comes up keep holding down the key combo while that "battery" is displayed. At 2 to 3 seconds the screen will FLASH BLACK... LET GO OF POWER. You should now be in DL mode. GL!
are you trying to get into Recovery mode or the Download mode?
For recovery mode this works for me,
Remove battery
Install battery
Press and hold vol+/vol-
Press and hold power button
Once you see the Vibrant Screen do not release any of the buttons (vol+/vol- and power buttons) it will go black then back to Vibrant screen, then you release the power button only but keep pressing the vol-/vol+ buttons... this should get you into recovery mode..
For Download mode this helps me,
Remove Battery
Plug in USB cable to phone and computer
Put Battery In.. wait a couple of seconde until it shows the battery being charge..
Press and hold the vol+/vol- and the power button..
This will power up you phone.. once you see the Vibrant screen and it turn black, release the power button only.. this should get you into DL mode (it works for me). good luck.
I just got my Focus today and even before I turned it on I put my USB jig in and it went into download mode.
Hopefully this will help with future development.

What is a USB jig? And what do you mean by download mode?

Download mode is a Samsung thing that lets you flash new/different firmware with a program called Odin.
The Focus may also have Recovery Mode, which is a way to install packages without the OS running (therefore any file can be replaced bc non are in use).
[MOD EDIT] - Download mode on Samsung Android devices uses Odin for flashing but Samsung WP7 devices use the WP7 Downloader Tool. Lets not confuse other users!
Recovery mode is an Android thing.
Here is how to use the USB jig very simple

I have a Captivate that I use the USB jig on so I thought I try it on my new phone.
It would be a lot better if there were some ROMS to load.
Ya, download mode is easily achieved with a button combo. I just held all the touch buttons, volume down, camera, and power. boom - download mode.

No need to hold the touch buttons. With phone powered off press VOL DOWN, CAMERA & POWER. Phone enters Download Mode.

its actually vol down, camera, power, and the windows menu button.
the combo you speak of is the factory reset/format.

I beg to differ. CAMERA BUTTON, VOLUME UP AND POWER is factory reset and format. The same button combo with VOLUME DOWN is Download mode.
At least on my phone anyway, and I only was playing with button combos yesterday as I had a replacement phone I was setting up and kept putting it in Download mode by accident. The only difference I could determine was the volume button position.
We are talking a Samsung Focus right ? The three finger salute with volume down button, power button and camera button will reset the phone. There is a confirmation to press the "windows" button after that.

Maybe I had that backwards then, maybe when you do the three finger salute with volume UP it goes into Download mode.
Thanks for the link clarifying though!

Confirmed on my Focus, with phone turned off,
VolUp + Cam + Power = download mode
VolDown + Cam + Power = reformat
First question: Not sure if it's the phone or the software but when I shutdown my phone and try to turn it back on by holding the volume button and the power button, it doesn't work. But as soon as release the power button, it decides to turn on. Can someone help me with this?
Second question: Does my phone need to be rooted to get Android 4.1.1?
NOTE* Currently on Android 2.3
1) Keep trying, you shouldn't have to release a button to turn it on. Are you holding the right buttons? Its down+power
2)Yes

First Volume down, then the power button, it should be on within 3 seconds.
Do you have ADB enabled? Plug your phone into your computer, if your computer recognizes it via ADB, come back

You have to reboot on recovery mode : turn off your tab and then boot using power volum up and home key all the boot. Then you will be on the recovery go using the volume key to factory reset section. To enable use power key.
