[Q] Download mode

Hello.
I have a problem with a Stock G3.
How do i get it in to recovery? Tried power + volum up/down + home etc etc..
The problem is that the phone has a locked security pattern and the customer does not remember his e-mail/password so i need to rest it.
Plz help

try it like this : Vol down/up + home + power

dont work

Stock ROMs does NOT include CWM...
You should flash a rom with CWM or g3mod kernel.
Maybe you mean download mode?

sorry - not recovery but download mode, changed topic...
is it possible to reset the phone in download mode?

Uuh you dont need cwm recovery to factory reset.

Recovery is vol up+vol down+home+power(All buttons should be pressed in order). Hold till you see I5801 bootlogo. Try it.
Edit : - This is for recovery. In download mode you can t factory reset.

Okaj so i cant reset the phone in download mode, what can i do?
The phone has a locked security pattern and they dont know the e-mail/password to unlock.
Can i use Kies to factory reset the phone? Any suggestions?

You can flash stock xxjps or flash another rom

Uh as I said you can boot into recovery (vl up/down + home + power) then wait till it boots. Or you can reflash the ROM if you know which on it is

Go in download mode and flash kyrillos rom non oc version.
Then go in recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik cache
Then flash stock rom.
Now you are sure you have a factory phone.
Ps: this is the long way. If you just need recovery flash the rom you prefer

So much not needed to do a simple factory reset!
Do this:
turn off phone
press home & vol up/down(both) keeping them pressed press power button and on gt-I5800/1 logo release all buttons
you'll see stock samsung recovery(just 4 options available)
use vol keys to navigate and home to select
select wipe data/factory reset and let it happen
Done!

This does not work on this phone for some reason Doing it exactly as you have described...
Must probably do it the hard way and flash CWM etc...

Goto download mode and flash a .tar as one package that contains only datafs.rfs. You ll find it in CyanogenMod thread I think.

With cache.rfs for a full reset
Or a better idea
Open back cover of the phone
On the bottom left (near the screw) just where the battery ends there is what small hole
That's the hard reset switch
Press it with a small pin and done!
Remove sdcard if you wanna preserve sdcard data

If it didnt help visit service centre.
Press thanx if i helped u.

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

uhm
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

if stuck on bootloop go to recovery and wipe data..

you can use cwm to wipe system and data and root/flash a custom rom
or you can use odin to flash stock rom (see dokys thread at top of dev section for firmware)

my device isnt rooted so i believe i cannot do the cwm method?

no, u can go into recovery without rooting
Steps:
1. Power off ur mobile
2. press volume up + home + power buttons
when u r in recovery the touch screen is disabled so u should use
volume up/down button to scroll up/down
power button to go back
home button to select
