About download mode and recovery mode

I got my new galaxy s from Bell last week. I have read how i can go to download mode and recovery mode.
For recovery mode, i can go in and there is few option i can do. Normally i just bootup.
For download mode, i can go in also. But there is a yellow construction logo, and it didn't disappear. Is it normal? It was just saying downloading and do not turn off target forever. Then i have to turn it off by pressing power button for 5 seconds. And it will reboot to normal mode.
Do i get the bad version of i9000m? And my series number is end of 60xxxxx
Thanks you.

don't worry that is normal
the contrusction screen (download mode) is meant to be that way.
it is only used to flash the phone with new version of the ROMs
you got a good phone!

Thx a lot!!
Because i saw my series number is 60xxxxx...and it match the number the website mention.
Anyway, very happy with my new phone!

I got my SGS on the first day it launched, but Im a little nervous to test the recovery mode items (lack of experience with Android OS). I've looked, but was wondering could someone describe to me what the need (and difference) is between recovery mode and download mode?

check out the wiki
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/Vibrant_GT-I9000M
it can't be any more clear than that

Yes, don't worry. It don't damage the phone. Just press 3 buttons when you power off the phone.

How is it an IMEI NO. can be abused? Why is it such a big no-no?

I don't have this stick
Is there any other way to know which model do I have ? (scret code, hw info ..etc..)

i think codes info can be altered by flashing other firmware
so if you do not have te box for it
i think it would be best if you took pictures of front and back (with and without cover) - but do not showe imei or s/n
this way guys will be able to determine the phone model by its look

Hello, in the future questions need to go into the question sub forum. I'm moving your post for you.

i dont think Samsung turned on the option to disable this. It was always in the "sound" menu but I dont see it. I was looking for this, as well.

I'm sorry, for wrong thread. ..

Bump

I used to get this now all I get is a toast notification and it doesn't stop the volume from increasing.
I can't remember if I hit OK and don't appear or if it just stopped appearing after I hit OK 10 times

I've hit it God knows how many times. .. so frustrating. ..

Black Screen, no download mode

Last night i setup my alarm and i put him to charge but this morning my alarm doesn't ring....when i look at the phone it was a message: "Custom binary blocked by FRP.

}
Now my phone don't work, all i can see it's a black screen and nothing work's, no download menu, can't connect to Odin.....can i save the phone or just stay 2 months and buy a new phone. I found this pdf any of you know if it's a scam or it's actually true ?
And i'm sorry if i posted in wrong topic!

Don't know much about Samsung phones but mine can not boot into download mode using Home+Vol.Down+Power anymore.
However, it works if I do the following:
1) Open Odin
2) Power off device
3) Hold Power+Vol.Up+Vol.Down, while doing this plug in your cable.
4) Maybe you have to long press Vol.Up now
4) Odin should detect phone and phone should be in download mode
Don't know if that still works since I'm refering to my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i which is really old (highest official Android OS was 2.3.6).
If it doesn't work, someone else may help you.

I try that but is not working.... Thx for reply
