Hey guys, I've bought a galaxy s2 (t-mobile) and tried to root it. I held the vol up and down button while holding the power button, got into "press up to continue, down to cancel" screen, but I keep pressing up and nothing happens?!
The volume up button does work when the phone is on and I can make the ringer louder, but not during the download mode. Is there a fix?

are you trying to get into download/odin mode? if so you hold up/down and insert the usb cable while still holding down the up/down. I didn't think power button was involved in the matter but maybe there are 2 ways. Anyhow, try that maybe it'll work.. Did you update the phone to ics thru kies yet? Maybe that flash could do something helpful..

Sorry, I did mean that with the holding up/down button and USB cable. I am trying to get into download/odin mode. But I only get to the screen where it says to push volume up to continue, or down to cancel. It is the right screen, I just cant push up, nothing happens...
Also, I did not try to update the phone to ics thru kies yet. How do I do that?? You mean the regular software update in the settings menu?

Ok, so I updated to 4.0.3 via Kies and now have ICS on the phone. I tried booting into odin/download mode, and once I'm in the warning screen "A custom OS can cause critical.....bla bla bla.....Volume Up: Continue, Volume down: Cancel (restart phone), the volume up button does NOT work and still seems disabled.
The button itself (up button) is not broken, as it works when the phone is on to make the ringer louder.
Any other ideas? I'm really confused why it won't work ??
Anyone? Any help would be great
same problem here
If u can get into recovery mode and r using cmw hit both up/down buttons at the same time. Ill take a thumb and place it in the middle of the buttons then push them (dont hold them tap them) after doing this itll say something like rockers disabled or something like that. When I used cmw Ive done that a few times and didnt know it and when in cwm I couldnt use the volume buttons anymore to make a selection. Do this to enable the buttons in recovery mode I never noticed if it only took effect in both modes or just in recovery mode but its worth a shot.

Hi All
After successfully rooting I though I would go the next stage and install CWM , in my haste I must of done something wrong and after resetting the phone it wont turn on. I have tried a factory reset, wont turn on, tried pulling battery etc no luck. When I plug it into the computer I get a searching for QHSUSB_DOWN driver which never succeeds and running the LG update utility just says phone not connected...ANY help would be sincerely appreciated...!!!
Can you get into download mode by pulling the battery out, then put it back, press and hold volume up button and press power button.
If download mode works, then follow the unbricking solution.
Thanks for the quick response and nope no luck!

You can't get into download mode like that (just tried it to verify). You have to power off the device, hold volume up then plug in usb to get into download mode.
either way have had no luck, seems it is going back to warranty....

Strange thing I don't even need hold the power button, just hold vol up after battery is in and press once power button...go figure, this is one f.up phone...
Hi, I accidentally installed the wrong rom on my phone. Now it won't boot. And i've tried the method where you hold the volume buttons and then the power button, and then use the odin recovery method to get back to stock android. But it doesn't work because I can't get into download mode by holding the volume and power buttons.
WHAT DO I DO? any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
You are not the first person I have seen do this so my suggestion would be to do a little searching and find out what others have done. I am new to the Tmobile variant of this phone but I had the Epic Touch which is the Galaxy 2 on Sprint and I got into download mode with a Jig. <--- you can buy one on ebay they are real cheap
I believe they also work for this phone. Or from what I hear most just go through insurance...

That's not how you get into download mode though. Holding volume down and volume up then pressing power button will get you to recovery.
Download mode is, with phone completely off. Hold volume up and down buttons then plug the phone into your USB. I'd try that. Wouldn't see why download mode isn't available from flashing a ROM in recovery. Download mode usually goes away by flashing something stupid in ODIN. Good luck!

that should deff work...if you need help just ask...ill help you...i bricked my phone like 5 times... (soft bricked)...androids are hard to brick...but what you did MIGHT be a hard brick...but download mode and odin should help...also...not to be a smartass...but you said you did it by accident...but you had to put the file on ur sd card...and then go into cwm...and then actually pick the file twice in order for it to flash...
hello,
i have a brand new Koodo T989D.
I have Kies, samsung drivers and odin installed. I have rooted phones in the past but something is up with this one. It will not go into download mode. volume up+down with power key won't work, powered off volume up+down then connect via USB doesn't work, tried all combinations for t989D.. it seems strange. Odin does recognize the phone (it says connected), but the phone is ON and running OS (with debugging mode)....
everything else works fine though through kies etc.
Isn't it hold volume down and home key and power?

How to enter recovery/download with a Koodo T989D
I have the exact same phone as you from Koodo and have been able to access recovery/download mode on the phone via button combos straight out of the box.
For RECOVERY MODE the exact button combination for the Koodo T989D is:
Press and hold the "volume up + volume down" buttons, while holding the volume keys press and hold the "power button" until the phone vibrates/screen turns on to the Samsung logo and let go of 'only' the power button. The phone should then display the recovery system image and load to the recovery start up screen.
For DOWNLOAD MODE the exact button combination for the Koodo T989D is:
(As a precautionary, take out your battery and place it back in)
While phone is off, connect the USB to your phone making sure the USB cable is attached directly to a powered USB port (if on a desktop PC, the main USB ports on the motherboard I/O is the safest way to go). Now, press and hold 'only' the "volume down" button. While holding it, press the "power button" until you feel the phone vibrate/screen turn on and let go of 'only' the '"power button". Keep holding on to the "volume down" button until a "warning screen" appears. Once it displays, press the "volume up" button and you should now be in 'Download mode'
Hope that helps you are anyone else who was curious about getting in to recovery/download modes for our KOODO T989D. Good luck!
thank you all
interesting, got it to work after enabling debugging mode..
rooted and unlocked (thanks to owl74 method) but whenever I press power button and select reboot option, it freezes and the bottom buttons stay lighted.. i have to pull battery or long press power button.. it does shut down and power back on but reboot option makes it freeze:silly:
UPDATE: Phone won't turn off even when selecting power off option, it seems to say on with screen black and buttons lighted up.. have to resort to battery pulls

Is this happening with the stock Koodo ROM? Go in to your recovery and do a factoryreset/wipe data, also wipe your cache. Let us know if the issue still occurs.

Please go to this link and download the files under "Koodo T989D TLLG2". Once you finish downloading the files, follow the instructions in the OP on how to re-flash the stock Koodo ROM. That will definitely help you with the issue you are experiencing. Good luck!

Vol rocker + Power button.
Or just follow the stickies in the general on flashing a factory build to correspond with your device.
Use the search in the future. This has been done to death.

i think the computer dont recognize the device if its dont turn on..
you say i just need to conncet my phone to run the commands?
If you hold both volume buttons at the same time and push power while you're holding the other buttons, what screen comes up? If it shows an android with the words start in green, you can either follow the instructions he gave you or press volume down twice then power to enter recovery

the volume buttons doenst work at all..
when i push them and the power button the normal screen came up and then he stucks on the loading screen
hmm, you might have to look up how to do an OMAP flash then. i've never done it so i couldn't tell you how. see if anyone else can give you some insight into this before you do that though.
What you should do is open up your device again and fix those volume keys. This isn't a sw issue.

That sucks to hear man. But are you sure that's the right combination to get into the bootloader?
I'm on the tmobile version note 10+ and you have to shut the phone off and press and hold the Bixby button and the volume up button. Not sure if it's the same for other regions though.

phone plugged into pc.. press vol down and side key until screen goes off.. quickly press vol up vol down and side key until dl mode comes up, basically when screen goes off hold down all buttons until dl mode comes up..
if u end up trying to hold vol down and side key what happens is if its taking a while u end up doing a hard reset and device will seem to not be doing anything bcuz u keep resetting it. at least this is how i get to dl mode in these type situations.
