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
i have tried that

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
Hi,
I woke up to find my note2 stuck on the samsung logo, so i went to the recovery menu and cleared the cache. When I went to restart the phone, it wont start up.
1) Nothing appears on the phone
2) When i press the power button, the red light on top flashes but thats it
3) it doesnt go to recovery mode with the power, vol+
4) it doesnt go to download mode with the power, vol-
5) Battery should be fully charged, when plug into the phone and the wall, nothing happens even when i left it there for half a day.
6) Switched out with friends battery and nothing happens as well.
7) Plug into PC Mac, multiple computers, nothing happens on the phone or computer. Nothing is detected on that usb port.
Anyone know what I can do to try and fix this before I send it to a repair shop?

In switched off condition, if it takes charge then it must be go to DOWNLOAD MODE (home+power+vol.down). Then restock through odin or use 'mskip toolkit'

i have a tmobile galaxy s2 sgh-t989. i did a hard reset on the phone and something went wrong. When it rebooted and powered on i now have a black screen and a no sync error in little box. the time, bluetooth, wifi all still work. My computer doesnt recognize the phone is plugged to usb, So using odin isn't working. the phone won't go into DOWNLOAD MODE. i have kies, samsung drivers all installed on pc. I have tried using a sd card and using .zip files to recover. "E: signature verification failed" error is all i keep getting when trying the sd card method. i believe the rom is stock, ANDROID SYS RECOVERY <3e> blue screen comes on when holding vol+/-. is my phone a brick or can it be fixed is my question. i dont want to keep wasting my time if this cant be fixed.

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.
Have a good evening,

Try this.
Unplug phone

Plug phone into computer
Hold in three button combo
Insert battery
Keep holding 3 buttons until you see download mode.

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
i have tried to hold power and vol down and nothing happens too. i have already bought a new battery and tried that but that didnt work as well as tried using other chargers etc. nothing seems to work.. please help!
any suggestions??
by the way i am running cm13 on the phone, don't know if that might change anything.
Do you get anything when you plug it into the computer and try turn it on?
Can you put the phone into download mode at least?
Help i recently tried updated my note 10 plus via smart switch on windows 10 and windows 10 was running in a virtual machine. i got a error "an error has occurred while updating the device software use the emergency recovery function" so i tried to get it into download mode. i got it into download mode and it flashed real quick and went to the Samsung logo and screen turned black and wont turn on..
tried vol up and down and power
vol down and power
Any ideas on how to get the phone powered back on.. its not recognized by my other windows based computer (not virtual machine)
Maybe battery died. Have you tried connecting charger? I know when this happened on an one of my older Samsung devices, I plug in to computer for an hour and I was able to power in device

You have to go into download mode and flash the Odin file, which is out from yesterday. There's a chance it's more complex than this unfortunately
My power on the device was near 95% i will try the original power cable
I cant go into download mode or anything.. i tried all the button combos
Any jig for the note 10??
