Can't get into download mode

I've tried what the "[GUIDE] Rooting the Samsung Captivate Glide i927/i927r" page said, ie:
Turn off the phone
Press volume UP and keeping the button pressed, press the power button
a screen should ask you if you wanna continue - press volume up to confirm
but it won't start up in download mode. Any thoughts?

When you press Volume Up what does it do? Just reboot? once you press Volume Up you should be in D/L mode without doing anything else.

When I hold down the volume up key it doesn't do anything.

Turn phone off
Take battery out
Wait 2 minutes
Put battery in
Press volume up
Press power and hold both until the download confirmation screen comes up.

Thanks rovar, I've got it working now.

Power button not working

Just recently my power button stopped working. I pushed the button to use my phone and it did nothing. For about five minutes pressing the power button did nothing. I had to press and hold up and power button to restart. Is working fine now but What I would like to know is why did this happen? How can I prevent something like this occurring?

I've noticed mine has done the same thing a couple of times since I've gotten it. In my case I think the phone hot boots, maybe you have the same case

Same issue but no case and it wasn't hot. I think it might be software related. Waiting a few minutes and holding the button for 30 seconds finally allowed it to boot.

I've experienced this just once with the same result. Power button + volume up resolved it.

I had same issue pre-root and vol up and power fixed the issue. No power button issue since.

hold the power button at the same time as holding volume up button.... hold both for a few seconds might take as long as 8 seconds
will put you in fastboot mode....(if it doesnt go into fastboot that way can hold power button until screen turns off then quickly hold volume up until fastboot comes on)
once in fastboot tap volume down twice (slowly allow a slight pause between presses) then pres the powere button and you will be in recovery

I can't even get my phone to the fastboot screen. Ive held down vol up and power. Vol down and power. All 3. I'm really at a loss. Any ideas before I just get a replacement? Also, my headphone jack has seemed to stop working along with my power button.

When I have trouble powering on I hold vol up while plugging in usb.

[Q] Hard recovery reboot not working (Vup+Vdown+Pow)

Is there some secret to the Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power hard key combo? I've pressed it hundreds of times with different timings and can't get into the bootloader. Tips?
Also, the power key takes sooooo long to turn this thing on. At first I thought it was doa. Thought that was interesting...

There really isn't any secret method. Just make sure the unit is powered off then hold the power button and vol down button until you see the Android robot and you can through the options using the vol up and down keys.

Wow, I did Power + Vol Down and it worked immediately. I know I've been reading all over that its both Vol UP and Vold Down. Arggggh. :silly:
And Thanks :laugh:

Screenshot

How do you take a screenshot? I'm using a stock rom.

Hold power button and volume down at the same time
Or
Press and hold power button and then press the home button. This one is harder though because if you don't time it right you turn your screen off or make the power off menu pop up

The first method didn't work. Just makes the volume go down.
The second worked great!

You have to press them at pretty much the same time. If you press the power button first for like a millisecond too long and then press the volume down button the volume will go down. Neither option is my favorite, but they get the job done

Don't push volume up
Just hold volume down and power
