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
is there any other way to flash a custom rom without using download mode. i would like to beable to connect to my computer but the whole point is to get a different rom because i dont like samsungs ICS. i want a pure android 4.0 rom with working camera. can any body please help me

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

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
I have a galaxy s2 and I cannot get the phone into ODIN download mode. When I plug in the USB, while holding the down and up volume button it goes into recovery mode A3 but no DL mode. I can't get a USB connection to the computer for the phone to be recognized so I was trying to get into ODIN DL mode to see if I can get a connection this way but no luck

Are you trying to recover from a bad flash? Did you already root your phone? Did your try to wipe cache/factory reset from recovery? Is your phone unable to boot?
No
I've never flashed the phone before, it's not rooted and there is only the built in recovery mode. I have factory reset once but its when I first got the phone.

Basically, with the SGH-T989D, pressing both volumes buttons at the same time while loading will bring you to the recovery, but it's not supposed to be the same with the SGH-T989... Did you tried booting while holding only 1 volume button, bottom or upper?

1-use ODIN to flash cwm (clockwork mod) & root your phone First
2-after that u flash any custom ROM while in cwm.
How:
1- your pc has to have samsung usb drivers (one way to do that is to downlaod samsung Kies)
download to your pc these files:
“recovery-cmw-hercules.tar”
CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip
get them from here http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/how-to-root-icsgb-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/
Now, to put phone in download mode: Turn phone off- take battery out Then put it back in- hold vol+/- down & plug usb cable in phone
screen will come on- move vol up -----> u in download mode. (at this stage only usb cable or you following steps can make this not work)
Start ODIN........u can see the rest from link above.
After phone is rooted and has cwm installed Now u can copy any ROM to scdard and flash it through cwm.
to put phone in cwm (recovery) same as above except Hold vol+/- & power button (no USB cable) samsung will show up on screen Let go of power button and keep holding vol+/- ----> now u are in recovery ....install your rom + gapps and reboot
Two importand thinhs: after rooting and installing cwm ------back up your current rom & make sure make sure you flash ROMS for your device (Hercules) only ....u flash a rom/kernel for another device YOU WILL brick your phone,
after the first time....its super easy
Hit thanks

Pull the battery, plug the cable into the phone, Hold the up and down rockers, put the battery back into the phone and power it on while holding the rockers. A yellow screen with a warning will come up. Pressing the Up rocker will get to DL mode. Pressing down will reboot the phone. But unless your phone is connected to the computer/power, DL mode is difficult to get to. Hope that helps
when do you put the battery back in?

Are you only letting go of the power button? It sounds like you are letting go of all the buttons at the same time.
Try -
Pulling battery, leave it out for a second or two
Put the battery in...If it powers on automagically, sticky power button as suggested.
If it's still off, hold both Vol keys and hit the power button..You'll see the Samsung logo and then a progressive slider...Should boot into recovery (Factory or custom)
Can't go into recovery? Press the vol up and power and make sure USB is connected and running ODIN or ADB and you should see Windows trying to install some drivers...

If you have a T989 and you pressed both volume keys and plugged the USB into your computer and couldn't get into download mode I am not sure what to tell you.
Buy a usb jig/dongle. With the phone off insert the dongle in the usb port of the phone and turn the phone on. It should put it into download mode. The fact you can see the Samsung logo indicates it isn't hard bricked and you should be able to get the phone into download mode. I also had issues getting into download mode when using the button combo so I got the usb dongle and it puts it into download mode every single time. They costs only a few bucks so it's worth giving it a shot.
Maybe its your data cable.

Tried 5 different cables INCLUDING a brand new one AND the original. It started with a charing port repair done by a "profressionals. Then the phone could charge, but could be recognized on a PC OR through download mode by odin. Which led to a hard reset, which led to it hanging on the samsung logo, which led to another hard reset, which led to a bootloop and no recognition through any program. Now i have a paper weight that can charge....
OK, trying to install CM10.2, which requires TWRP 2.6.3.0. So I installed GooManager from play store and updated to 2.6.3.0, now my phone won't boot, black screen after the samsung logo. It won't boot to system, won't boot to recovery.
I have usb jig, so I can go to download mode.
So how do i fix this?
OK, flashed twrp via odin, see pics.

Oh man. You're not the only one.
This happened to me yesterday. I had to flash back to stock. Now, I am about to root again. Good luck, mate.
This seems to happen with Goo everytime there's a new version of TWRP. I have read that the easiest fix is to flash the TWRP tar file with Odin. Every post I have read, said that everything was fine after that. Sounds like Goo doesn't mess with anything but the recovery in those cases. I used this fix once when I flashed a recovery zip that didn't work.
As of date. It appears Goomanager is the culprit.
I installed openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-hercules.tar using odin since goo obviously doesn't work... but I can't seem to boot past the teamwin screen... any pointers?

GooManager updated me to 2.6.3.0, now when I reboot, I see Samsung splash screen for a few seconds and then a black screen of death, won't boot, won't go into download mode no matter what I do. tried rebooting with both vol keys pressed down, tried holding vol keys down while inserting usb cable, tried rebooting while holding the down volume key, tried rebooting holding vol keys and power then releasing power. Nothing works. If anyone can help me get into downlaod mode, I'd appreciate. From there, I can revert back to 2.6.1.0
if you cannot go to download mode, you need USB Jig, check it here:

Jig not working either
So, as mentioned before, GooManager updated me to TWRP 2.6.3.0, and now I can't boot past samsung splash screen. No method I used would get me to download mode so I took the advice in the thread and bought a USB Jig. Even removing the battery and leaving it out for 2 minutes and then reinserting it, followed by inserting the jig in the charger port and waiting, and nothing happens. Turning the device on with the jig in the port also does nothing but a quick flash of the splash screen logo and then darkness forever. Definitely doesn't bring up download mode or any kind of yellow triangle. Anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? You'd think that as long as I can get to the samsung logo screen that there would be some way to recover this device and that I'm no hard bricked. Other people have managed to recover from the GooManger TWRP 2.6.3.0 issue, so why can't I?
shot my USB jig came in today & can't get it into to download mode at all NO

You will not be able to flash anything in stock recovery. To get into download mode, unplug the battery, plug into computer with Odin opened, hold power and two volume buttons, insert battery. You can then flash stock ROM in Odin.

The jig should work. I found that it works better to hold it in passed the vibration until you see the download mode screen. And it is plug USB into computer and phone without pushing any buttons and then hold the 3 button combo in. If you want and easy way to root and install custom recovery once you are all fixed up, just let me know and I'll send ya some instructions.

How to use jig
- Turn off your phone and pull out the battery for 2 seconds.
- Put the battery back in the device and don't turn it on.
- Plug the jig into the micro USB port on the phone.
- After about few seconds, your phone should boot up automatically and bring you straight into download mode.
- Unplug the jig.
- Connect your phone with USB cable to computer and then flash your phone via the program "odin".

i took out battery for 10 seconds. did what you said the phone starts and just resets if i dont let go of power button.
FWIW, you only have to push both volume buttons when plugging into the computer to get to download mode.

I was trying to trouble shoot since he said he had tried combos like that already. Idk why the jig didn't work when the phone boots, though. Would adb reboot download work without root?

i can take out the battery and put it in the phone, phone does not power on unless i hit power button. if i have the phone plugged in to usb, powered off/ battery in, it powers on the phone, no buttons needed, but does not recognize the usb on pc. has had a new port put in the phone also, was told thats why phone wouldnt sync. had port replaced and still cant sync
