Factory reset
On the Galaxy S the soft-reset is achieved by pressing and holding the power button. A hard-reset can executed by pressing and holding VolumeUP+Home+Power. There you will find the options "reboot", "apply sdcard:update.zip", "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition".
The "wipe data/factory reset" option will restore your phone to the original configuration of the firmware YOU LAST INSTALLED (including any updates made via update.zip). This will NOT bring your phone back to the firmware installed when you originally bought it unless you haven't flashed your phone.
You can navigate the recovery screen using VolumeUp & VolumeDown and use the Home button to select.

i did the factory reset and when i power on the phone it shows the "S" and just after that its black screen.
help plz
Also got a problem with my phone after updating to froyo 2.2 and then trying to apply a lag fix. Phone starts and I get the flashing S logo then the screen goes blank. Phone occasionally vibrates. Trying the Button Press listed above I'm not getting any options on my screen.
Please invest some effort in trying to solve this yourself. Read posts like these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870233, there are many many posts which describe to flash stock roms with Odin
Mine is now 100% bricked with the Screenshot. Did get adb to see the phone and got recovery mode up, didn't know what to do next really with Odin not sure how that software operates or how to re-install files. So unplugged the phone and now after some research thought I'd have another go but oh no its got the logo on it now.
Look 2 posts up ("help me unbrick my Galaxy") and read about Odin. As long as you can get into recovery or download, your Galaxy is not bricked (more a matter of its owner being clueless)

Can't get into download or recovery mode, phone only has that image of the phone computer and exclamation mark now. Odin can't see phone if I connect it to PC. ADB can't locate the device either. Mine is totally bricked.
Wish I hadn't bothered with the upgrade to Froyo 2.2, my phone was operating okay on 2.1. Guess I'll have to call T Mobile in the morning to arrange for a repair/replacement of this handset.
If you could enter download mode before (volume DOWN + home + power), i don't see why you can't now. Pull out your sim card, external sd card and battery, wait a few minutes, then put battery in and try to open download mode. Then just flash whichever firmware you want via odin, and it'll work. I bricked mine two times today , also showed that image with an exclamation mark between a phone and computer.
I couldn't get download mode or recovery on my phone via the button press method. I got it up by having the phone on computer and using the adb command method. As Computer can no longer see the phone I can't use this method to get back to formatting and re-flashing the file.
Please spend some time to read it.

i have problem with SGS i9000 i go to in recovery mode cwm i upgarde it without wipe it
with this rom (I9000_Alpha_HTC_Sense_v0.5)
now my sgs not go in 2e recovery with 3(volume up+home+power)it is not woring yet
main screen (galaxy GT-i9000) appear but it just restart when boot in 3 or 5 sec and usb plugin not long::: in 3sec only after that disconnet
now im not have in sgs software (rom) and 3button not working and not have 2e recovery and CWM all just only have boot screen (galaxy GT-i9000) 3secnd restart sgs
ithink it understand my problem
plz quickly solve my problem
Go to download mode (volume down+home+power) and flash any stock rom with repartition checked. your phone should be okey
Remove battery and try again.
Can you get into download mode ??
If so flash a stock rom with pit 512 and repartitioning checked via Odin .
The rom you installed is Alpha that means not ready for Beta full of bugs use only if you know what you are doing .
ROM does not work is what the post says where it says must read .
jje
i do all
i use odin
i remove battery
im not have (software now ,2e recovery and 3button v up+home+power not working to go in recovery mode)
but my sgs when i connect it with pc usb plugin 3sec and restart
If you have any other ROM zip on your SD card then just flash speedmod kernel with odin to get CWM recovery back (see my signature for link)
If you don't have any other rom zip to update with CWM recovery then you will need to flash a stock rom with odin.
i try with odin but useless
if you have program anther odin give me plz
may be try the reset button, which in the middle of the cam and speaker, search in forum for details

You may be better off paying a service centre to fix as you seem incapable of following instructions .

I tried using the 3buttons (volume up+home+power)it is not responding
I can not inter to recovery mode or download moded
always my sgs restart in 5sec when i run sgs

I thought it would be a great idea to try flashing from to Froyo from Eclair anyway, and while it was going on, my pc disconnected the phone and bricked it COMPLETELY... I pulled the bat, tried all the 3 button combos (they worked before I flashed, I tested to make sure), and nothing worked...
I spent hours looking through the forums and the only advice I saw was to try a jig, before reading that for a 100% bricked phone it would not work...
What to do
- Take of the back case of your SGS, inbetween the camera and the speaker, you will see a little circular hole...
- Take a pin/pen and poke it...
- Hold the hole pressed in and press the 3 button combo for download/recovery mode
It should go into download mode and from there you can flash on a fresh firmware!
I saw NO mention of this hard reset's existence anywhere on the website at all, it worked perfectly for me!

unless you mess with your bootloader (in this case you didn't) you must be able to go into download mode and flash a fresh odin rom with pit 512 and repartition enabled
I found an update on kies so i looked around and saw that i had to unroot and un lagfix(oclf) so i did that and started the update, an error stopped the phone from backing up so i carried on without a backup because i dont have anything thats very important on my phone. The update file downloaded and i got to the point where you have to unplug the phone and then plug it back in. I did that and when it turned back on it reached the galaxy s screen then went black and now it just vibrates every couple of minutes.
i already tried taking out battery, sim card, sd card
any ideas?
Sounds like you need Odin.
whats odin?
How does it work?
Factory reset first .
# Also firmware Kies emergency firmware recover .
Or Samsung service centre .
Failure at boot is usually wrong firmware or lagfix on .
ODIN is an alternative unofficial method of installing firmware on your phone .
jje
how can i factorz reset without being able to boot up
how can i use odin to flash samsung firmware back onto my phone
try using the 3 button combo method entering recovery mode by switching your phone off, press up+home+power key for a couple of seconds then it will enter recovery mode, try making a factory reset there, then reboot your phone, try if it will work, if it still doesn't work, then go to the development section and read how to flash a new firmware via odin then.
ive tried the three button combo several times but it just keeps on trying to boot, i think its one of the galaxy s phones that has it disabled
any other way to enter recovery mode
Can you get into download mode ??
Power + Vol Down + Home .
If so read this POST 2 .

Have you tried reading the link JJEgan gave you? (FAQ)

The method in the thread I posted uses adb (via computer) to force your phone into download mode which you then flash a bootloader with working 3br which will then let you into download/recovery indefinitely, it worked for me.
Or you could make/buy a jig- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Just to clear out this is not the problem to get into Recovery or Download Mode.
3-Button-Combo: Starting from a powered off phone, buttons must be pressed untill the screen lights up.
Then release all the buttons.

I just plugged the phone into the computer ran adb download.bat and phone was instantly put into download mode and recognised by odin.
If you are not confident or it's not working make/buy yourself a jig, this will put your phone into download mode and you can then flash whatever you wish through odin.
i live in switzerland and wouldnt know where to buy or how to make a download jig
i think im just gonna take it back to the store to get it replaced
learn how to flash with odin next time. i ditch kies a long time ago

Actually first try to reset and wipe by recovery mode.... Volume up+ home + power..... Its much simpler.....
Only if this method not work than you should try downloading mode.... Its complicated method.... You need to get expert advice for that...
Maybe OP is busy . Let me update the thread.
Problem solved.
Samsung service center updated his SGN free of charge.
(he updated me by PM)

Hi guys,
Been a samsung user since S2, unfortunately ive made people bring me their devices so i can polish them, if not fix.
I got an i9505 at the moment with a very strange issues:
It boots up, hangs on the boot logo.
It boots in Download Mode, but volume up button wont work, i've opened the device and yet the button was fine.
Sometimes just connecting it to the PC using USB, the device vibrates as if it's turning on, though it vibrates every 2-3 seconds. Device is Off btw.
Recovery Mode wont boot, Home Button + Volume Up + Power Button until the thing vibrates, i release the power button, and it just hangs there. Makes me doubt it is not even reaching the point where it knows where the recovery is. However, i got it in to the blueish "booting recovery..." once, but it hanged there as well.
Am clueless here, (re)searching usually brings me near the answer, but it hasnt, i hope the answers here will do it for somebody else.
Edit: since i am doing this out of pure compassion, i have no idea what is loaded inside .

Flash a stock rom base in your country mate via odin and you can download it from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ , then once your done downloading the file, Boot into Download mode (Power+VolumeDown) , Open Odin select PDA /AP , Connect both cables (Wait until you get a blue sign in Odin)and flash away.If you encounter any issues with the firmware (Any FC, Bootloop etc)Boot into recovery mode (power+vol up),Choose to wipe/factory reset. (THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD! Then choose reboot and you should be good to go! Have a nice day
Mate, is there a way to flash through Odin without pressing the Vol Up button, cause i am not aware of that?
I cant get past the first point of download mode, to actually enter you need to press Vol up.

Hence the thread. There was no other option left.
I usually do this to gain the knowledge for future use, is this a common death for the S4. the user that had it is definitely not a flasher, what couldve gone wrong?
