Maybe i'm stupid, but I don't get the point what you want to say...?

Can a mod lock/close this thread?
I don't see a point in this thread as it have been know for a long time how to get in to download mode.

I guess the 5 Galaxy S that you tested do have a proper bootloader.
Your steps of 3 button are exactly what everyone uses to access download mode.
For those without 3 button recovery, you can press all day long and nothing happens.

Hail you, this is far beyond magic!!! Can you tell how you just found out? You must be Samsung employee or something...
P.s.: sorry forgot the sarcasm tags...
Edit: can you see the double sarcasm in that? Lol

access download mode in without 3br fix
I mean if you have galaxy s i9000 without 3br.
Is what you can still have access to download mode without flashing a new bootloader.

You didn't get it. Not all device have broken 3br feature.

I think that he want to tell us, that you need to pressing those buttons and not just hold them. Pressing 3 buttons at once repeatedly for some time. I can't test that, i flashed fix for 3br.
Or i'm totally wrong and he is too..

hmmm... NO!

My friend, my SGS was bootloader locked. I pressed the sh*t out of the three buttons in all conceivable ways, and no Download mode. Nothing. Nil. Zero.
All your 5 phones were bootloader unlocked, if 3BR is not working the only solution is flashing a new bootloader.

Galaxy S i9000, so the international version, is not affected by 3br problem afaik. So seems to me like you enabled can now do something everyone could already do before...

No, he is Samsung's owner.

Some "newer" Indian Samsung Galaxy S devices don't have the three button recovery. That's what I think he's trying to refer to.

No its just you guys dont want to understand what I'm trying to say.
thankyou its I'm running t.t froyo with 3br on efused. I9000

Care to be a bit clearer? If language is a problem, post in Hindi, and maybe I can translate!

OKay
Here a Breaf
i have Two Galaxy S.
One is 8Gb GT-i9000 purchased from O2 UK. This model has correct boot loader with no 3 Button combo Issue.
Then i purchased a another galaxy S i9000 16GB from India it's Running DDJG4 MODEM, PDA, AND csc. In this model i tried running 3 button combo but nothing happes as it's turns on and showing Galaxy Boot Screen. Insted of Download mode. Same appiled for recover.
So Today i take a risk and applied a update with Odin 1.3.
XXJPM. It got stucked on Sutep connection. And last option i have to disconnect. I decided not to flast boot loader. So means there's no 3 button combo Fix.
After reset removing battery. i turend it on and it showed MOBILE then computer (SCREEN OF DEATH) Then i keep pressing VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER and then mobile went off then Again on showed the logo. and again restart and come in download mode. So i got it. Yes i tried it on other Broken bootloader galaxy s and it worked.
I guss this is enough and you all got what i want to say.
Thank-you

you know, download mode is not the same as recovery, just like "volume down" is not the same as "volume up"..

any help would be apreciated

Just curious why you are asking a question about a i9505 device here?
Anyway, are you saying it can NOT get into recovery at all? or you can get into recovery and there is no options.

Are you sure you're not talking about download mode? (vol down + home + power)
Recovery mode is vol up + home + power. Release just the power button when the phone vibrates

yes download is fine
in recovery are not any options

You have 2 options, get into some type of recovery, or ODIN back to stock. and that will require some reading to get that up and running...try here first.
You will need to post in your i9505 forum about this issue where to find original stock image, I looked there, but didn't see anything right off the bat.
god luck sir.

[Q] Want my device working in anyway soon

My device constantly reboots without getting on for more than 2 sec. I tried recovery update as mentioned in many of the threads available here.
But as written there i am not able to select any option from the boot options available i can scroll down using back button but selecting a option never does occur I tried all the possible combination. Apart from that to get device working, I installed ODIN and did whatever was written but ODIN is not displaying my device. Anyone please help me it's urgent for me because that would save my life and I need to get a solution soon maybe as soon as possible. Do help me friends....:highfive:

[SOLVED] help...soft brick!

Hi,
Today I stuffed up my phone... I owned a Sony Acro S and Transformer Prime, which I flashed custom roms and recoveries on both with no issues.
I thought I'd be ok to try my G2...I was wrong.
I was able to root the device perfectly, then searching around I found an apk file for flashing twerp recovery. Which I did then I chose to reboot the phone, thats when I got stuck on the LG start up screen and the LED flashed blue and green. Then I realized the way I tried to put twerp on isnt suitable for my model.though saying that if I hold the power and down button I can get into twerp, but then I reboot and get stuck on the LG screen again.
I am on Stock Kitkat and my model number is D802T Australian version.
Please help... step by step help would be great.
I thought I knew what I was doing and no im confused.
I have searched and tried a few methods which I was unable to fix my issue.
Thanks
Duane.

Oh, so you can enter twrp ? Why don't you install a rom ?
download mode = power off the device. Hold volume up + connect to pc.

Samsung Galaxy A5 won't boot after flashing STOCK ROM with Odin 3.11.1 [URGENT HELP]

I need some urgent help.
I tried flashing a stock nordic rom with 4.4.4 android, and did everything like I should. It did finish at the 'downloading' screen but it turned off, and now I can't turn it on.
I tried pressing volume down + power button, volume down + home + power, volume up + power, volume up + home + power none of them worked. Sometimes when I connect the phone to my PC it makes the sound but it's not recognized.
What should I do?
I need some urgent help.

You downgraded from lollipop?
A few others have bricked their devices doing the same thing
It seems you can't downgrade your bootloader
Try holding POWER + VOL DOWN for at least 30 secs.

Hey. Thanks for your reply.
Yes the phone's android was actually 5.0.2 and I tried flashing a stock 4.4.4. I didn't clear cache/wipe data before flashing too.
I have just tried 2 times your method (power + volume down) for 30 seconds, and unfortunately it won't boot. Any other ideas that might help?
Also I would like to add that I don't have any warranty whatsoever for this phone, and to take it to a service it'll cost me a fortune. You guys are my only and last hope. I heard a debrick.img could help (not so sure about this). Do you know anything about it?

You're phone should be able to be revived by JTAG. Pretty much any phone shop can do this and it doesn't cost a fortune.

They are the factory files. It's what usually comes with an update.
Also you haven't stated what your device model is.

You need to extract the bootloader from the stock firmware, put it in the root of a clean sd card along with the MSM8916_boot_recovery.pit
Turn on the phone using the 3 button combo for download mode.
If it boots to download mode you can then flash the firmware.

Hey.
I got 2 questions. "Extract the bootloader from the stock firmware..." means? Do you mind helping me how to extract it? Also do I have the extract the bootloader from the firmware I tried to flash (which I used to brick my phone) or should I use another firmware (5.0.2 version)?
Also how do I put those files in the "root" of a SD card? Isn't that just pasting the files in it?
