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.

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.

Care to be a bit clearer? If language is a problem, post in Hindi, and maybe I can translate!
I guess the 5 Galaxy S that you tested do have a proper bootloader.
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

Have you tried plugging your Tab into the Mains electricity supply and powering it on?
I still got battery if that's what you mean
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
No... sorry what I am referring to is plug your Tab into the elecrtic mains as if you were charging it and try switching it on.
It has been known to 'wake up' the Tab on machines that are stuck. This is because you can not perform a battery removal trick on the Tab.

Yeah tied that it just stays on the samsung logo
I got it from t-mobile uk do you know where i can get there stock firmware please
The last I heard (2 weeks past) was T-Mobile have not released their stock ROM out.
Have you tried going to samfirmware.com and looking for the ROM file there?
It would mean using Odin but to be frank I prefer Odin to Kies.
Kies bricked my SGS and Odin with samfirmware's ROM file sorted my bricked phone.
Yeah been to samfirmware got some firmware tried them but still no luck, im sure im doing right with odin can you give me some instructions just to make sure im doing right
If you want some instructions on using Odin have a look at this titled 'How to use Odin to Upgrade the SGS to Froyo'.
I know it's for the SGS but the principle is still the same.
b.t.w. I have got to shoot out for an hour.
Leave any messages and I'll get back to you later.
Ok thanks for your help

Place your finger on the home button, push the volume up button and hold it together with the home button. Now while you push those two buttons, push the power button. Hold all three buttons together until you see the first screen. At that moment release all three buttons.
Select the option wipe data/factory reset in the menu that will be presented to you (use volume buttons to go up and down) and than either press the home button or the power button (can't remember which one) to confirm your choice.
Still no luck flashed new firmware still get samsung logo on the screen im stuck in what to do now
I tried to flash the latest firmware
Because of stupidness this was not really successful and my TAB didn't start after the flashing...
also pressing the power + volume down show's no effect.
the display turns on only when it's powered by the charger displaying 2 icons of a phone and a computer
Yes, the two icons are stating the Tab's awaiting connection to a PC but that does not help your predicament given you have already tried to flash another ROM.
Looking at the problem your only option now would be to contact your nearest service centre and explain the situation.
Bear in mind, Samsung got fed up of users rooting their phone's and sent a newsletter to all centres informing them if they receive any phones that had been rooted they were not to treat them under warranty.
You can read that newsletter here ~ Samsung Newsletter to Service Centre's ~ Rooting Voids Warranty
Give them a call anyway and see what they say. There should be one near you, I have three near me in the UK.
When I had a problem with my SGS I telephoned them, they told me to bring it in and would check it out there and then.
ownhd2, I had the same problem and I solved with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=854300
1) Download the the file HERE and extract the it
2) Inside the ZIP you will find Odin 1.7 + PIT file + PDA +Modem + CSC files.
3) Open Odin, select the PIT file + PDA + Modem + CSC into their respective places.
4) Make sure repartition is CHECKED.
5) put the phone in download mode and connect it to your computer. start flashing.
6) The device will reboot. If you are getting tons of FC's on boot, reboot into recovery and do a factory reset.
Done.
Thanks for the info will try it tomorrow. Thanks again

I must be doing something wrong here.
I have Odin 3 1.70.
I have the .tar file JJL4 thread in the development forum.
Samsung drivers are installed.
I take out the battery, then put it back in, then hold vol+/vol- and hit power and I'm in system recovery screen.
The last entry on the phone says installing muti-CSC.
I then connect the phone to the PC and it recognizes something on Com3. I then load the tar file in the pda section of ODIN. I'm not loading the PIT file.
When I click start, odin says file analysis, then setupconnection, then nothing else happens after that.
I don't need the .pit file, right? If I use the .pit file, does that erase the programs and data that I had stored on the phone?
Help?
I had a similar problem using the same version of Odin. Then I flashed it again using Odin 1.30 and it worked fine.

You need to get your phone in Download Mode, not Recovery. If you see a yellow Android with a shovel, you're in Download Mode. Check out the stickies and the Vibrant Bible.
Well, all of the instructions say to hold vol+/vol- and then power. When I do that it takes me into the recovery screen.
How do I get it into the download screen then?
I have never seen this posted here or anywhere but this is how I get into download EVERY time. I also don't go into every post though lol.
With the phone off hold the volume buttons down THEN plug in the usb to the phone it will go straight to download mode. USB needs to already be plugged into PC too if that wasn't obvious.
I think the way it's actually posted though is Volume +, Home button, and Power not both volumes. I have never gotten it to work that way and I stumbled onto the above way by accident.

Wow, you think that would be in the guides somewhere.
Phone off, holding both vol+/vol- and then plugging usb cable into the phone put my in downloading mode.
Was I doing something completely wrong before? Why wasn't it going into download mode?
Thank you much!
Flashing now, fingers crossed.
Turn off your phone, plug your phone in and when you see the green charging. Hold the. Volume up and
Down keys and the power key until you see the download mode.
Ok, so ODIN succeeded. It rebooted and got hung at the S.
I went into recovery mode, cleared the cache and rebooted again and I'm still stuck at the S?
What now?!
EDIT: Went into recovery and cleared cache again and I'm back up now.
great news! now you know how to odin. but majority of the time you will have to use a back up like titanium backup or nandroid from cwm to restore your apps and stuff. when using t-backup make sure not to select missing apps plus system data cause that can cause some force closes!
Z4 mod isn't working for me on this. Should it be?
What else will root this version?

Update Galaxy NotePRO 12.2 P900 to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop
(Not Tripping Knox)
Make sure you downloaded and installed the Samsung usb drivers beforehand (http://www.android.gs/download-samsung-usb-drivers-for-android/)
Download the firmware and extract it. ( http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-P900 or https://www.samdownloads.de/downloads/sm-p900/) (For USA users with tripped knox (no OTA update) just odin the "cellular south" SM-p900 5.0.2 sammobile rom.)
Download ODIN v3.09 (http://androidhost.org/PVAIv)
Reboot your phone into download mode. Do this by first switching off the phone, then pressing and holding the volume down + home button together and then pressing the power button. Press power again to enter download mode. (If you have problems go to the Troubleshoot section)
Open ODIN on your computer. You’ll see the ID:COM box turning yellow with a COM port number upon successful connection with the phone.
In ODIN click the AP button, select the extracted firmare file from step 2. It's a tar.md5 file
Make sure Auto Reboot & F. Reset Time options are selected in ODIN
Click on the start button. When the process is completed your phone will reboot. To confirm update Galaxy NotePRO 12.2 P900 to Android 5.0.2 official firmware simply check the settings > about.
How To Install TWRP + ROOT On Lollipop
(Tripping Knox)
Due To different bootloaders On Lollipop, installing TWRP is slightly different:
Download the twrp.tar (https://dl.twrp.me/v1awifi/twrp-2.8.7.0-v1awifi.img.tar.html) on your pc and supersu.zip (http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu) on your device. Also, download odin on your pc
Open odin on your pc.
Put device into download mode by turning off the tablet first. Then hold power,home, volume down button all at the same time till download mode comes up.
Hit volume up to continue
Connect tablet to pc.
Hit the ap or AP button in odin.
Select the twrp recovery tar.
Untick auto reboot in odin
Hit start and let it flash all the way
Now force reboot by holding power,home, volume up buttons at the same time till it reboots.
Hit install button in twrp.
Select the supersu zip you downloaded
Swipe to install and reboot.
Troubleshooting:
Q: Can't boot into TWRP
A: In ODIN, uncheck automatic reboot then flash TWRP. So you have enough time to get ready to reboot into TWRP directly after ODIN finishes.
After TWRP is flashed, press power+vol.up buttons and hold them until the Samsung Logo appears then release them.
You should then automatically go into TWRP. Once into TWRP, you can install the root.zip file.
Q: Lollipop is unstable, I get force closes or the whole ROM is just bull****!
A: Go to Recovery Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Up+Power buttons together.
Now, perform Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache Partition task before selecting the reboot system now option. In Recovery Mode use the Volume keys to navigate between options and Power key to select any option.
Q: Can't go into Download Mode
A: Actually on most devices, if you really press the three buttons constantly, it will reboot forever and not go into the download mode. It's better if you turn off your device completely, then press home, volume down. Keep them pressed. Now press the power button too. You're holding down all tree buttons now. The device boots about a second after you see the boot-logo, stop pressing the power button, but keep holding home and volume down. If it's not working try releasing the powerbutton earlier, or later than advised. But keep Home and Volume Down pressed constantly.
Q: Can't flash TWRP, it keeps booting into stock recovery!
A: Disable the Autoreboot option in ODIN
any impact on Knox?
Does it affect Knox?

Nice guide btw and hope we can see deodex guide soon [emoji106]
Thank you for this.
I used to really get into this stuff when I had my OG Droid but these days I can't devote the time to it like that. This guide was clear and worked exactly like it said it would.
Great thread - very helpful - I did have issues when flashing twrp - learned a lesson - make sure you read the whole thread. I didn't at first - I figured I had flashed TWRP so many times I knew what to do - but it didn't work - each time ODIN auto rebooted and I tried to go to recovery - it was back on stock recovery.
THEN I read the whole thread - and did what you said - uncheck Auto Reboot - and do the three finger reboot to recovery - home, power volume up - and viola' it worked just as advertised. Thanks for the guide - very useful!
EDIT - I am having issues and not sure what to do - when I attempt to make a nandroid in TWRP - before flashing a new rom - the backup ran for over 10 minutes and would not finish. its like it is hung up on the last step of the backup or somehting - looks like it is still backing up - but it never changes, Any suggestions?
EDIT 2- I was able to create a backup on internal SD Card - but all attempts to back up to EXT SD Card failed - has this happend to anyone else?
piece o cake. easier than juggling cfautoroot. Thanks dude.
P.S. For USA users with tripped knox (no OTA update) just odin the "cellular south" SM-p900 5.0.2 sammobile rom.
Im not sure where I keep going wrong. Im trying to get into download mode. If I hold the power, volume down, and home button the tablet constantly reboots.
If I release the home button after a few seconds I wind up in download mode.
What am I doing wrong?
Billinaz, try powering down completely first. Then while it's off press all 3 buttons.

what kind of Region i need to download if my is not in the list?
im from israel, my current Version is P900ZSUANH2, what region i need to download for upgrade to lolipop? is there a difference?
Is it possible to just update to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop and not do the other part? (Rooting and such)
Also, is it possible to change the language when updated or will I be stuck with the language of the version I use to update with?

Yes it is! I just updated my stock 4.4.2 (Netherlands) to 5.0.2 using the Korean (BOG) version. Installed it with Odin and about 30 minutes later all apps were updated and my P900 is now a much improved one!
I was reluctant to do this as I feared Iwould lose my data and had to start from scratch, but as a very pleasant surprise all is preserved and all apps are working fine!
And it is really worth doing the upgrade, it is much smoother and access to SD is finally usable.
About language you can choose this again when 5.0.2 boots, the list was extensive, I saw Dutch was there too, but I stuck to English...
So I'm happy with 5.0.2, not rooted and fully stock, and typing this on my Logitech bluetooth keyboard!

Nope!
I don't usually comment here but I had to say thank you so much for this! Whole thing went smoothly and the tablet feels a lot snappier and less laggy now, which is a nice change (although it might just be a placebo).
I installed the Korean BOG version as well on my Australian tablet. It was the only one that would flash out of the 5.0.2's on Sammobile, the rest failed every time. I use a bluetooth keyboard and it still works - its a chinese cheap thing, works great. I had to do a factory reset to get everything running smooth again. There is English in the language options, but only UK English, which is ok for Australia. I do want to root though but one of the ways that wont trip knox. Previously I used kingroot, but it hasn't got a solution this time.

you need to reinstall the samsung drivers on your computer then plug in your phone, open smart switch and follow instructions.
Previously your phone installed the drivers, since you have a problem with your phone, you need to install the driver on your computer to recognize the phone not the other way around.

It doesn't have to recognize your model and s/n, just write them yourself.
I have actually encountered this before.
Just do this:
• Hold Power & Volume Down until the phone turns off ( assuming that there is no way for you to battery pull )
• Immediately without letting go of the Power & Volume Down button, press the home button as well.
• If the timing is not correct just retry.
Once you can get into download mode, you don't need the samsung software anymore. Just go online and find your default stock rom & bootloader etc and flash em'
