So my friend rooted and flashed CWM on his Galaxy S i9000, then he wasnt happy so he tried to restore the old backup. It gave him an error, now the phone is stuck in bootloop. The problem is that he cant get back into HBOOT either because Power+Vol UP+Home doesnt work. Any ideas guys?
Thanks for helping

Do a battery pull first
try a different combination of keys ( Vol down+home+power or home+power )
Failing which use easy reboot recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796807

Thanks for your help. All those combos don't work for some reason. I am not sure how Easy Reboot Recovery would work since I believe the phone doesn't get recognized by the USB.

ok, try battery pull and reinsert method for download mode
1) Press and hold (volume down+home key+power button)
2) insert the battery
by ruaylau
Did you ever get into to Download Mode or Recovery Mode before you stuck?
Yeah, I accessed the recovery with Vol Up + Power + Home, but only when the phone was booted up fully. He was trying to restore the old ROM in CWM but it gave him error flashing boot image, then he restarted the phone and got the bootloop problem, so theres no way to restart it into HBOOT. I will try your method xsenman, have to wait till sunday so the phone gets here. If anyone has some other tips, I would appreciate it.

May be you bricked your phone. You can try solutions mentioned below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134975
USB-jig FTW
It's not bricked..if you're seeing anything on the screen, it should be recoverable. And even hard bricked phone can be saved with the UnBrickablemod.

Okay heres the thing. Easy Reboot Recovery does nothing, just opens and closes, I guess since it kinda doesn't recognize the USB from the phone. Then I used SGS Rescue Kit, launched OneClick.jar, connected the phone, clicked unsoft brick and it said Sucessful, the phone started showing the Samsung logo, but then nothing happens. Tried Easy Reboot Recovery again, but nothing. Any ideas?
Can you still access download mod ( Volume Key down + Menu + Power ) ?
If yes you can download a stock ROM that includes PIT PDA PHONE CSC and BOOTLOADER files, this page contains links to all theses files :
http://www.androidgen.fr/tutoriel-s...id-gingerbread-2-3-6-odin-article-2110-2.html
Now once you download these files just start Odin and put:
s1_odin_20100512.pit in PIT
CODE_I9000XWJVZ_CL762604_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 in PDA
MODEM_I9000XXJVT_REV_00_CL1064602.tar.md5 in MODEM
GT-I9000-CSC-HOME-MULTI-OXAJVT.tar.md5 in CSC
APBOOT_I9000XWJVZ_CL762604_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 in BOOTLOADER
Make sure that "Re-Partition" is checked as shown in this Screenshot:

so i improved it to be like that = vol up+ vol down +power and wait the screen gonna be black then back to ! then go black again when go black again do the download combo power+ home + vol down ..
it will enter download mode and flash your rom and have fun ..
u don't need to send it to Samsung or buy usb jig
note: maybe this method will not work on devices cant do the 3 button combo
or the devices has a corrupted boot loader but i tried it twice ..

Your description is really hard to understand.The screen you are posting about means NO Death.Actually i have had it a few times,and download mode is accessible from this screen,recovery mode is not though.This screen refers to a bad connection while flashing which is usually not harmful(unless you are updating bootloaders) and it is easy to recover from it.

Agreedwith you.
Wow....a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.
The second poster is right...you didn't actually do what you thought you did, whatever it is you thought you did as the first post is nearly gibberish. Read a little more on the different states your phone can be in and you will understand.

Umm.. Maybe its because you were pressing the wrong keys in the first place. I'm surprised you got that combo working in 2.1 (which is what you are implying)..
Also, the picture you showed I've had a few times, and I never needed a jig. You simply pull the power, use Home+Vol down+power, and THEN plug the phone in by USB. JIG's are RARELY needed, and in some cases, people who think they need a jig might just have a faulty phone, or may simply not be willing to experiment to get it working again.
Sorry, its good that you are contributing, but I myself recall posting similar posts to the forum many times in the past, and many others have as well. But nevertheless, good to hear that you got it working!

In the future, I would suggest posting questions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192886 instead of making your own thread. Regardless, the shortcut for booting into download mode on a normal S4 is to simultaneously press down the Home, Volume Down and Power buttons. That "Chinese menu" may have been download mode and you didn't realize it. You should try plugging the phone in your PC and running Odin to check to see if it works as a download mode. Best of luck to you.

Well, if you can't figure you're way around this foreign download mode, you can always download GooManager from the Play Store. Within that app, you just press the menu button and then touch "Install OpenRecoverySript" and that'll automatically install TWRP for you.
Hello everyone.
I have a small problem, before long I had a new ROM, so I decided to change it to the original through odin.
But I was without the power button, it was broken. After the installation got stuck in the Samsung loop, is it possible to solve without the button? I need to get into recovery mode.
:good::good:
well, you can try to pull the battery and hold the vol and home button while putting the battery back in. the power button isnt really needed to get it into recovery or download other than making it start the sequence

You don't need to boot into fastboot mode.
When you insert battery, just press Power button + Vol Up and Vol Down button simultaneously to boot into recovery mode.

The problem is quite weird.
The phone is running stock lollipop ROM, not rooted and no custom recovery.
I can get only into the bootloader and connect it to my PC.
The phone turns on perfectly with no problem when I remove my battery and plug it into the charger.
So, is this a battery related issue?.
The battery was low when this problem occurred!
This video sums up my problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncSIZ8SyXXM
Remove and reinsert the battery, connect the charger, wait for about 10 minutes and only then turn on the phone and see if that helps. Can you get into recovery through vol up+vol down+power buttons?

I tried removing the battery and then reinserting and connecting to the charger now, but it did not work.
I can't get into recovery also.
I can only get into the bootloader.
If you're having a PC and you don't need the device data
just re-flashing the device will be best option!!!
here is a link to the Stock ROMs
hope so this will help
Ok.
Thank you all for your help
