Figured It Out Pull Battery, Plug USb In, Hold Volume + And Volume - Then Put Battery Back In Will Go To Download Mode...
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

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.

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
Thank you again! All this time I was doing it wrong way!!!

It is voldown+power+home.
Yep, volume up is for recovery
either way i cant get to download or recover mode useing the buttons i can get to download mode with my usb jig or boot in to it using Samsung GS3 ToolKit. Is their a way to boot into recovery mode
You can download quickboot from the market.
Thanks that works but i wonder why i cant boot using the button combo its just strange all the buttons are working. but i can get into recover mde now so that is good
That is strange, I say use Odin and go completely stock, no root, and see if it still acts the same. If so then it might be hardware related.
Hey so two days ago my S3 crashed and wouldn't turn on again. I've tried the home button + vol up/down +pwr and nothing. I've tried putting i another battery, still nothing. When I connect it to my computer it makes a chime so its recognizing it.
I bought the phone from a friend like a year ago it was rooted and was running task650s rom. It hasn't been updated for like 6 months though. How can I hook it up to my computer and flash the stock rom if I cant get it into download mode?
anybody?

Hi guys!
I'm trying to bring back to life a Gio from a friend who somehow killed it trying to flash it.
Now the phone does nothing besides turn on the back light of the screen. I can´t put it in download mode or recovery mode.
Although Windows and Odin found the phone can´t flash it. I'm guessing because I can't get the phone to enter download mode.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
Thanks!
UPDATE
I've manege to make a usb jig to try to enter in download mode. But, as before, when I connect it just turn on the back light of the screen.
The jig works fine on another phone.
Any tips??
No one??
