There is no download mode
But there is a recovery
like wipe and factory and wipe cache but no davlik cache or advanced
it must be possible to change the clockmod?
or a boot recovery?

If you try to flash firmware for a REAL GT-I9500 on your clone device, it won't work, and it might even brick it, totally destroying it.

Download Reset Counter for GB >2.3.4

i dont know..whether every body knows or not..
Sammy restricted the use of JIG to reset Counter from GB 2.3.4..
So there is a patch to over come this...

yeap.. i have used it and it worked after i used JIG...
its not mine BTW.. i just shared...
Dude the day they released the new bootloader is the day we figured out how they were blocking the Jig reset and made the old bootloader available for download as a separate tarball and also started to package the firmwares with the old bootloader.
You're very late. All that person has done is nothing other than recreate my work. http://www.chainfire.eu/articles/103/_SGS2_KI_Samsung_removes_USB_host_support_patches_bootloaders/
So if I flash the tar with Odin my counter will be reset to 0, without the need of a Jig? Or else?

You need the jig. It's just the bootloader.

You've just reminded me... I need to reset mine after playing with ICS.
... now how do I do it again, do I need a PIT file in Odin, or is there a CWM package available?
... will this void my warranty? Is it an official release? Is it on Kies?

Pull the battery? why? i never do, just shutdown the phone, put your jig in and
everything else comes naturely.
Is there a limit in the download counter? Would you advise me to get a jig sooner rather than later?

INSTRUCTIONS!
1.Your Device must be in DOWNLOAD mode to use ODIN.
2.Get your phone into Download mode by holding vol down and power.
3.THEN connect your phone to the USB. (some folks have had luck doing it in reverse..connecting the USB then Power and vol down)
4.Open Odin and load each file with it's corresponding field..PIT,PDA,CSC etc. (In this case we just use the PDA and PIT)
5.Don't check anything else, the other two boxes should be checked by default (Auto Reboot and Reset Time)

Your signature states Vibrant I9000m is this the model phone you have???
If it is you will have to go to the I9000 general section to find the correct firmware. You have flashed T-959 firmware on your phone and that's why it is not booting.

[Q] Convinced my S4 has no download mode

Hello all!
Im convinced my S4 has no download mode what so ever! I have done every possible button/pull bat/usb cable connect combination ever lol. even tried with a jig I made but perhaps didn't do it right and that why it didn't work.
Also tried to reboot it into download mode with adb and all that did was reboot the phone as normal or go into the screen with the yellow triangle and the android character laying down with hes belly open lol. Aside from that I can get into factory mode but that's it. Its like my phone never had download mode built into it.
Its truly a bummer since I love the phone but want to unlock its full potential to really enjoy the device 100%. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated as I truly don't know what else to do.
Thank you all.

Power off device
Volume down, power and home button together as some thing appears leave all button
For binary after that press volume up button
That's the download mode

Your volume down works fine ??
Try holding volume down then power together without home button.

Hey guys thanks for the replies!
Volume buttons work fine when im using phone, I tried again button combo just like you said and STILL not luck its really crazy I just cant understand how I cant access it if the phone has that mode. None the less thank you for your suggestions.
If there is anything else I can try please let me know. I guess im going to have to get a jig from ebay but I think not even that will work

I think you must switch off your phone & Let press three button combination above while switching it on.
Sometimes we did work correct, but it doesn't work.
Try this.
Turn your phone off.
Leave it alone for a few seconds, to make sure that it's not rebooting.
Press and hold Volume Down and Home (don't press power yet).
Keep holding down those buttons, and now press and hold Power as well.
AS SOON AS you feel the phone vibrate, release the power button but keep holding the other buttons.
Wait a second, the screen will appear.
Release the other buttons.
If you hold power down for too long, the phone will reboot.
If you release the buttons too early, it will just boot normally.
If you aren't holding the buttons when the phone first powers up, it will just boot normally.

Well its a hell of a copy as im looking at images online and it looks exactly like the real thing.
Here are screenshots from Antutu with more info.
Now being that is confirmed 100% a copy can these copies be rooted like android phones?

Ok I had same issue your need to hold power, volume down and home key until you see download image try doing from phone switched off and phone switched on should work my friend, let me know
Make sure you hold all three and keep depressed nil you see message
That's not a real galaxy s4. The bezel above the home button is twice as large as it should be. Same applies to the bezel below the Samsung logo and the side bezels.
Your antutu information also says the GPU is a powervr 531... The real i9500 has a 544.
Your kernel is based on the Linux kernel 3.0. The real galaxy s4 uses a 3.4 based kernel.
Compare your phone to the Wikipedia image. The bezels and dimensions are obviously all wrong.
Sorry man. That sucks
EDIT:
Oops missed where you said it was a confirmed fake. My mistake. Oh well more evidence... Still a darn good fake... Pretty good specs for a fake too.

bump!
Download mode shows your original Country code, no matter what CSC you flash
Turn off your phone, then press Volume Down + Bixby Button + Power button once for 4 seconds.
A blue screen will appear saying that do not flash non original firmware, press Volume Up.
A screen will come up saying at the top "ODIN MODE".
In this screen, you have some information about your device, but the one that we are intrested is a red line "CARRIER_ID: XXX"
That ID is your CSC code, no matter what firmware you install it on. Mine is PAN - the original - even though i currently have DBT installed.
and just press Volume Down + Power key for 7 seconds to restart to normal mode.
Is there anyway that you can check the AP, CP, CSC, & BL without going to download mode or recovery mode, or even going to dialer pad and dial *#1234#? I forgot to get copy of it before flashing custom rom form my Galaxy S7 and Galaxy J4+. Please helppp!!!
