[Q] Cannot enter Download Mode - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

So I can easily get into recovery mode, but that is it. I have tried both up and down while holding power. up and down and home while holding power. down/home/power and up/home/power all numerous times and the only thing I can get into is recovery mode. Degugging is on, and odin recognizes phone. Could this have something to do with the tmobile softkeys version instead of the internationals home"button". I also tried the holding up and down volume while odin is running and that didn't work either. I'm guessing i have to install the android sdk and use adb commands. as a last resort unless someone else can tell me what im doing wrong. As I don't own a jig/ dongle. am I the only one who has this problem?

Don't press power at all. Turn the phone off. Now just press both vol+&- and insert your USB cable that is already hooked up to your pc running odin.

Thanks You Very Much I am A f#&!ng retard. That worked perfectly.

yeah you can only go into DL mode when the USB cable is connected to your phone. So it should work when you're connected, phone is off, and then you hold +/- and power.
BUT people find it best to do what killa said

[Q] Help putting phone into dowload mode

I'm using the directions for the LGNPST, and it says to push and hold vol up + vol down + power
This just pushes me to fastboot
tried releasing before the LG screen.. no dice, still in fastboot!
LGNPST doesnt detect the phone, even though i've installed the drivers via tSilenzio's method.
is their something im missing?
Volume up Volume down and plug in the device.
try pressing the up and down vol button ( or that hump in the middle which is the same thing) while plugging it into the computer.
Thanks guys, but my phone was already plugged in multiple times while doing this. Seemed to catch it though, so much thanks!

[Q] Can't get into Odin mode

I recently got a t989 with firmware UVMC6 preinstalled. And I can't get the phone to odin mode. I have tried all methods like inserting usb cable while holding volume up and down button, inserting usb cable while holding power and volume down button. But it always take me to recovery mode instead. I even tried to boot it through adb command prompt but the phone isn't recognized by adb. I have usb driver installed correctly. I have used different usb cables. Does anyone know if the lastested batch of T989s even have a download mode?
Thank you for your help?

Try holding just volume down instead of both... (telus/koodo phones use volume down only to get to download mode)

Cant get into download mode,

Im able to get into twrp recovery, and fastboot mode but not download mode... I wanted to put the phone back into stock and i thought wiping out everything would do so but i guess not.
Whenever i press the download mode command which i did was volume up down and power then plug into the laptop the 3 buttons will flash but my laptop won recognized it. I tried installing the LG Optimus G drivers but still unable to install it. Also TWRP says that the phone isnt rooted anymore and has no OS.

First off it's Vol Up + Vol Down while powered off and then plug into computer. DO NOT press the power button.
Secondly what ver. of windows and did the computer have any issues prior with connecting to the phone?
There is another fix but it's a bit drastic and wouldn't recommend it at this point.

oh well that might be the reason why. il try it out..im using windows 7 and it was working before i wiped everything.
link me to that fix if anything thanks
On my phone, Download Mode is only accessed when Vol + and - and power from a powered off state, while any USB cord is plugged in, either to a PC, or a wall charger.
After flashing, i noticed that the phone has some issues powering on and off normally i.e. phone completely died, plug the phone into the charger, screen turns on, phone is theoretically charging, but does not show any charging display icon. Which then forces me to unplug the phone, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds, press and hold the power again to turn the phone on, and immediately plug it into the charger in order to get the phone to normally boot up. I flashed CM 10.2 from the original android dev thread. I think that was just a design flaw that LG had originally, but meh, what can i say.

[Q] Galaxy s3 i747 brick

After clearing cache and everything for an install of my rom if kept failing. With issue 7. Someone with the same problem did freezas bootloader modem flash or something with the same phone. I done loaded the correct install and I restarted my phone. Nothing happened. My phone won't turn on. I've have literally tried everything except usb jig and jtag. before I made a jig I just wanted to see if anyone out there could tell me for sure if this is a jig fix or a jtag fix. Phone won't turn on. Did the factory download mode buttons and nothing. Did the cwm mode buttons and nothing. Held the power button and nothing. Held power and volume up and the power volum down still nothing. Plugged into computer and wall socket, nothing. Take battery out hold power button and plug usb from computer into phone, red charge light connects and then disconnects. I was thinking it may be a soft brick since I do get some sort of response out of it. If it was hard bricked it would do absolutely nothing, or am I wrong?
Also, once I get the red charge light on I have tried using adb to try to reboot boot loader,etc (everything). Doesn't find any devices cuz once plugged in it connects and disconnects. Except for when I plug it in and hold the power button. Only then will it make the connect sound and not the disconnect, but nothing is ever found on computer or with adb when searching. Always no device listed.
Go here to page 17 and read through page 20, it will likely help you unbrick, I had a hard brick lastnight and recovered it myself using this method.

Cant go into download mode. Need help!

Hi,
I installed CloudyG3 rom today and phone is not starting nor going into download mode.
I have LG Optimus G Pro E980 AT&T
I want to be sure that v10k is a factory image ?
AT&T E980AT V10k
And how to go into download mode because I tried many times and still black screen.
Regards.
Take the battery off, then hold both volume and power buttons together simultaneously, now plug the USB cord into your device, then connect the other end to the computer. The download screen may come on. Once the download mode comes on, put the battery back in and proceed as before. If this method doesn't work for you, try other combination such as holding both vol + pow buttons with the cord already plug into both phone and computer. Keep trying and you will get to it eventually.
