Hello guys, I need help. I am on froyo XXJPF and I wanna return to official eclair but my home button doesnt work. So I cant boot into download mode and on froyo I am using arent any extended power menu. Is there any other way to go to download mode (some app or something)?
Thanks for ur reply.
try this:
Step 1 – Prepare odin with the firmware u want to flash and get it ready to go;
Step 2 – Remove battery, SIM and SD card, next connect your galaxy 3 to the computer;
Step 3 – Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time;
Step 4 – Insert the battery and wait a bit;
Step 5 – At this point Odin should have detected your SG3 ( Yellow rectangle should appear in your );
Step 6 – Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.

turn off phone
prepare odin (load ops file and tce eclair .tar you are going to flash)
let the phone be turned off
connect phone to comp and hold the power button for 2 secs
the phone will boot and you will see a yellow box in odin
quickly click the start button in odin and let it flash
or if you have root
use this command in adb/terminal emulator
reboot download
@ale_bot
that method wont work as his home key isnt working and there isnt any need to remove sim and sd while flashing
His home button doesn't work..how is he supposed to click it?
Try getting extended power menu, and go to download mode from there
Edit:didn't see that you dont have extended power menu..i dont know any other way

Ok I've looked everywhere, maybe not well enough but I have and I can't find the answer to my question. I installed the new official 2.2 on the 10th when it came out in canada here. My phone has worked "ok" for the past 2 days. (lots of new force closes and some major lag in some spots that didn't happen in 2.1) but that's besides the point. Today i was trying to set up a new wallpaper and all of a sudden the screen started flashing on and off. I couldn't do anything to stop it except pull the battery. Now when I turn on the phone it just flashes the opening screen that says "Galaxy S blah blah". and the only way I can stop that is pull the batt. I've tried hard resetting and all that but it always gets stuck at the openning screen. Now I'm still noobish to android stuff. Was too scared to flash anything before the official so if you have any advice that involves other programs/pc i'd appreciate a point in the direction of a walkthrough.
I'd hate to have to send it in and wait the 2 months it takes samsung canada to get it back to me.
Thanks.

Look up the "jig" solution. That will be guaranteed to set your device on Download Mode.
It was the same problem with my Vibrant. Solved with JTAG controller. But you'll waste your warranty in that way. Try jig solution first

option 1
METHOD 2: STUCK AT VIBRANT SCREEN:
(and are not able to use vol+ vol- methods to access downloader/recovery)
You will need the samsung ADB drivers installed for your phone as well as ADB...
ACCESS DOWNLOAD MODE
1) remove back cover and take our sim card and sd-card.
2) take out the battery
3) hold ALL 3 buttons down at the same time. (Vol +, Vol -, Power)
4) while holding down those 3 buttons put the battery back in
5) continue holding all 3 buttons until the vibrant disappears and reappears... once it reappears, release all 3 buttons
6) Setup ODIN and get it all setup and ready... (if you are flashing your phone via odin)
6) now connect your phone to your pc via USB cable
7) open a cmd prompt and navigate to the folder with ADB and type ADB REBOOT DOWNLOAD
8) Your phone will reboot into the download screen... go back to ODIN - A com port should now appear for your phone...
9) Click start and wait for your phone to do its thing
Option 2
***First you must have ROOT***
Download Terminal Emulator from the Market
open terminal emulator
**you may need to change to default android keyboard for proper inputting
1.) type "su" and press enter
a dialog box will appear asking for root access and say yes (obviously)
2.) type "reboot recovery" and press enter
at that moment, ur phone should reboot into Download Mode to load Alternate firmwares for like Eugene's Vibrant4 ROM etc......
this it what it should look like...
#su
#reboot download
Option 3
or you can download and install quick boot from the market which you then can make a shortcut to reboot into recovery with just one click
Sometimes it takes more than one try to get into download mode. I just take the battery out for a little while. Put it back in and hold only the volume up and down buttons while it is off and plug in the USB cable.
One thing though, when holding down the up and down volume buttons, it is very easy to mistakenly press the power button because it is exactly opposite of it.
used creeds rom and flash an another custom then stuck into samsung logo not booting and also not entering into download mode or recovery mode..any solution how to enter into download mode apart frm vol down+hme+power..any other method to enter into to download mode...pls help..

DO THIS ONLY WHEN YOU PLUG IN YOUR PHONE AND NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN!!!
This method is basically same as the normal stock rom flashing tut, EXCEPT the way you get into Download Mode as your phone is HARD BROKEN.
1. Download all the files required in the "SOFT BRICKS" Prob, (Just Google that)
. 2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Now flash ur Stock rom via odin...
:good::good:
do thnk if u likd

try to connect to pc with no battery inserted then after that put your battery up and then go to download mode. hope it will work
I had the exact same problem while flashing jellyblast v3 no recovery, download mode and stuck at boot logo. Here is the fix!!!
1. remove sd card and sim from your device
2. Switch on the device and Charge your device for 3-5 hours.
3. Now remove the charger and battery (It must be hot till now) wait for 5-10 seconds and re insert it again.
4. Now press (volume down + Power + Home buttons togather) now you should be in download mode.
5. Flash the stock rom via odin!!!!
I have tried this method I hope it will work :fingers-crossed::good::highfive:
Thanks

No need to cry,. Even i have faced that..
First find out a stock Rom using odin mode then
Switch off your mobile
Then press Menu+Vol Down+Power button.. Now odin mode ll start
Now connect ur mobile to pc thru usb cable
Now open odin Sw, the system ll automatially detects ur device(follow the software installation process)
Then use the downloaded stock Rom to flash ur mobile.
It may take only 5 to 10 minutes for installation..hope it ll works for u.
Sorry for my English if u feel hard to understand

please tell me how could you solve this problem and flash stock rom without using odin? i'm unable to access recovery mode and my device is not readable on pc even with drivers installed
If your device is not recognised try to install drivers again if its still their it might be hard brick
So you need jig cable or go to service center in india they will charge 170 rupee
i am so perfect at sleeping i can do it with my eyes closed

I too faced the same.problem ...
where I was not able to go to recovery....
and my phone was also not detected in pc...It was fixed with these silly steps...
I did this:
Frst I uninstalled the Samsung drivers...
restarted the pc...
Installed the drifers...
then I used another USB cable and connected to the USB slot behind one of my pc...
then went to download mode and the phone was detected and also successfully flashed stock Rom.....
Hope this works for you too...
For all you GT-i8190T owners I have made a public folder in my drop box with all required files to root your phone reliably
http://db.tt/O7Gn5gHb
1 Unzip odin
2 Use three button combo to put your phone into download mode, (turn off completely , hold home, volume down, and power - for those that don't know) press up I think it is to confirm download mode.
3 with device connected to Odin flash the. MD5 file in the PDA section (do not tick repartition)
4 after reboot connect phone to pc and move the update superuser to your external SD can be done before to save time.
5 turn phone off again. And then go into recovery, home+volume up+ power hold until the first screen comes up.
6 flash the update super user from your external SD.... Important it's external SD..
7 reboot phone enjoy you rooted stock GT-i8190T
None of the files are hacked or cracked there as the developer CWM and chainfire made them if you want a full version of superuser pay for it and support the developer this version does everything you need anyway

I was rooting to get snaptools, everything went good till i got xposed and now its stuck on the "powered by android" screen. Can someone help/
Press all buttons on your phone at the same time for a while. It will be off.
Download latest firmware for your phone from sammobile. Download Odin and tap AP ( or PDA ) and find your firmware.
Hold Volume down + Menu button + Power button for 3 seconds and u will see a download mode. Press volume up button then your odin's ID.Com box will be blue or yellow ( it changes with odin versions). Then press start and wait for 3 to 5 mins. It will be boot. Good luck.
Note : Make sure u have samsung drivers installed on your pc first.
