i had to put phone back to stock and now i cant get the phone to go into donwload mode by pressing 1 and power button. is there another way to get into download mode?
Thanks in advance,
Pull out battery, press power button with battery out, hold it for a few secs. Put battery back in and download mode should work again.

is there another way to get to the download mode?
tried to use computer as power source on laptop and desktop but no luck any other suggestion/
Are you pressing and holding the 1 key on the keyboard and THEN add pressing and holding the power button? Order is important.
Does your 1 key work?

1 button seem to work fine when trying to make a call . im lost
You didn't comment on my advice, did you give it a shot? I've semi-bricked my epic and that was what worked for me.

When you say stock, do you mean el30? And is it rooted at least? Or does it have cwm? Maybe just maybe, but I think some custom roms had the option to go into download mode when you shut it off, if its rooted, perhaps you could install cwm from rom manager, boot up cwm, install a rom that has download mode from reboot, I think cwm from acs might even have reboot to download mode? Not sure on this one, just trying to go out on a limb and help if I can.

no i cant
You can still get to ddownload mode. Hold power + volume up and down and plug in USB cable quick. Once you're in download mode use Odin and flash to stock

how about download mode? Try to odin back to stock and start over.
i downloaded the stock files but cant figure out how to extract it and be able to get it on odin... sry im a newbie
i cant put it into download mode either
First put the files on the desktop so you can find it easily then open odin and go to PDA press it it will ask for a file go to the desktop and select the file. Next thing is shut your phone off take out the battery then replace it then plug the usb cable into the pc. After that then do as instructerd above hold down vol up and down and power and right away plug in the usb to the phone then follow the instructions on the screen. You should be in download mode. Once that is done your phone should register in odin you should see a yellow box with a com# then you are good to go. DO NOT CHECK ANYTHING IN ODIN ONLY WHAT I SAID ABOVE. make sure the file is there and press start let it do its thing it should take about 5 minutes or so depending on your pc. Good luck let me know how it goes

I bet you don't know how to get into CWM.
pull battery
Hold volume up, down, and power at the same time
when samsung logo appears, release only the power button and stay holding the volume buttons until CWM appears

it would be helpful for future reference for others to share your solution. But i'm thinking that it was just that you didn't know how to put it into recovery properly lol
Questions go in the Q&A section
i cant get into download mode at all. im on the tmobile version t989 and i tried everything. i did the official update to ics thru odin and now i wanted a pure android rom but i cant get into download mode. i think the problem is that i can only get into download mode when im connected to the computer but my computer or any computer for that matter wont recognize my gs2. i ordered a usb jig but was also thinking of replacing the usb port of the phone. i really have no idea what to do and was hoping someone here would beable to help me. btw when i plug it in to the computer all it does is charge and i can still boot into recovery but its android stock recovery. and i have tried to reinstall kies and have kies reinstall the drivers and go into the kies folder and run the exe file in USB drivers folder. nnothing seems to work. i dont know if it has anything to do with not having Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite device in device manager.
any advice would be greatly appreciated
thanx
Let's just make sure you're following the right steps. Remove the battery for ten seconds, insert the battery, press and hold volume up + volume down and then plug the usb cable that is already connected to your computer. Continue holding the volume keys until the phone turns on into download mode. You press volume up to continue once download mode is down on the screen.
The power button is not used when booting into download mode.
Make sure you have Odin open before you connect the phone and you should see your phone connected. Then you can flash the stock ics for Odin found in development.

Post your general location.
Maybe a local can hook it up to their computer and give it a try.

tried it
i did that like other people have said to do but as soon as i plug in the usb it goes straight to the battery charging image. i have odin open i turned off and let the battery ist for 10seconds then i hold both vol up and down and plug in the usb and as soon as it plugs in it goes to the battey no samsung no tmobile logo just a charging battery.
what else can i try
Did you try another USB cord? I know it sounds funny but the cord from my g2x will not allow me to connect to PC with my gs2...just saying it might help...or try to reinstall the drivers
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
lol you upgraded from a g2x too.
yeah i have like 4 different cords and none of them work now but to get the updated 4.0.3 i had to use the cord it came with and that along with the other cords i have only charge now. i dont think its a problem with the cord that im using but thnx
forgot to mension a usb jig
i bought a usb jig its comming in the mail. would i beable to use that to get into download mode and get back to 2.3 when things were working?
Had the same problem with the wifes gs2. No matter what i tried, the phone would not be recognized when connected to a pc. It is a known hardware problem affecting some phones. I called up tmobile on saturday and they offered to overnight a new replacement. I suggest you try giving them a call.
i'll try tmobile
only thing is that i dont hav a warranty because i bought it from ebay but i will try thanx
Have you tried blowing a can of air in the usb port? Sometimes dirt or debit gets in there and causes it not to get a good connection.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
but it charges fine would dust cause it to loose connection to the computer and still let it charge?
Might also try removing battery, hold volume keys, hook up to computer, then reinsert battery.
Edit: Have you tried different ports on the pc? Mine, won't connect on one port.

Scrub it with a tooth brush. Bought mine from Craigslist and it would charge but computer would not recognize USB connection. That did the trick for me

Might be helpfull
Maybe i can help,
I know you're on t-mobile but maybe button combination changed or might be helpfull info....
I have the telus version of the SGS2 the ''X'' version..
I tried every possible ways to get access to the download mode but here is the problem i found.. the button combination to get access to the download mode is different from the t-mobile version.
On Telus version if you hold both volume up and volume down while holding the power button nothing will happen and it will only get in bootloop.
If you want to get access to the CWM recovery ( if installed ) or the original installation you have to hold both volume up and volume down but when you press the power button you have to release it when the phone vibrates and keep pressing the 2 volume buttons.
If you want to get access to download mode : you need to keep pressing only volume down and power button.. it will get you download mode after something like 3 seconds. Then it will show you a warning screen and ask you to press volume up to continue or volume down to cancel and restart the phone..
I taught it might help you or others with similar problems
I guess what i realy want is to beable to flash a different rom

This was one of the methods i tried to get into download mode but i think that it goes into download mode when odin is open and the usb is plugged in. this is where i think im having the problem because when i connect to the computer all im getting is a charge no matter what usb i use or what computer i go to. if my computer wont recognize it then odin wont know that its connected and i cant flash any custom rom if i cant use odin.
i was hoping that there was another way to flash custom roms without having to use odin or download mode.
is there any way to do that.
also i can get into download mode using the jig but it doesnt realy help anything if odin still doesnt recognize it
THANK YOU
Thank you again! All this time I was doing it wrong way!!!

Stuck in charging
Hey Bro My Galaxy s2 stuck on charging .
not getting ON .
at download or recovery mode .
when i unplug the charger . my phone even dont start ?????
Sorry for my english
Ok, so as the thread title says I'm not a nooby at this, been here for 6 years modding every phone, sometimes flashing rom's almost daily on some phones. I also search before posting cause I hate being bashed for not searching, but I have searched, and tried numerous solutions, but am still in need of of guru help.
Situation: T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2, rooted, updated with new updates for LTE, re-rooted, so far so good, then decided to do some mods, multi-window - good to go and then notifications bar, that is where things went wrong, so went into recovery mode, flash recovery image, got the yellow triangle with phone and computer image saying bad firmware, connect with Kies and do recovery, well Kies never could recognize it, so opened up the Samsung Galaxy Note2 Toolkit, flashed recovery, then phone will not go into bootloader or downloader mode, all I have is a black screen with "Samsung Galaxy NoteII" and it does nothing. I can no longer use toolkit cause it says USB de-bugging needs to be enabled. And when I try to use Odin to flash the root66_TMO_T889UVBMB4 i get failed.
It's not like I've never had a bad flash, but I have always been able to recover, but with not being able to get into download mode, I am at a loss, does anyone know if there is a way to enable de-bugging from command prompt via the computer?
I am totally open to suggestions, otherwise I am left with a very expensive door stop.
Try pressing volume down+home then press power should put you in download ( the yellow triangle pc screen will still work)

So my problem is for some odd reason I can't get into the actual download mode. I get to the screen where it says click volume up to continue, then when I click volume up nothing happens. And my volume keys work 100% I can get into the stock recovery mode just fine and move around, but can't fully get into download mode. This is getting frustrating because i'm trying to root my phone.
Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button. Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up. Once you’re there, you will be requires to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.

Has anything happened with the device that would alter your DL mode ??
Using Odin prior to a failure for example ??
Very odd error ...and one I've not heard of before now ...given the fact that DL mode works 50%...
It is possible that the partition is damaged some how ..but a fix is a level below Odin itself ...and to my knowledge would be factory level repair if DL mode won't function...
Sorry I can't be more help ...g

Don't know if it will work, but you could try using kies to do an emergency firmware restore. Don't know if it will fix download mode though.

Thanks, I thought it might be something beyond my repair. Umm the only thing that happened to the device is the usb port is damaged and only charges. I have ordered a new USB port because the repair is very easy. Then after it's fixed ill try to adb reboot download and see if that works. My only question is do you know if the adb command reboots to the same screen or if its reboots to the actual download mode, so in theory it bypasses me clicked volume up.
