[Q] Cant get into download mode or get any computer to recognize my Galaxy s2 t989

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

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

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

[Q] Brick? (Phone won't stay in download mode)

Hey guys, I'm not sure if my phone is dead. It was running fine this morning, Task & Ktoonsez' AOKP with Ktoonsez kernel. However, I tried to unlock it a little while ago and it wouldn't go on. It boots to the splash screen, both normally and going into recovery, but it doesn't last long enough to go into recovery or boot normally. I try to boot into download mode and it boots, but the phone turns off after a few seconds.
I tried to flash back to stock in Odin, but the phone doesn't stay in download mode long enough for the flash to finish.
I'm not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Pretty sure if it was bricked it wouldn't boot into download mode at all. It sounds like it is losing power or something. The only thing I can think of is maybe your battery is bad. Download mode can run off of USB power if you remove the battery after booting into it. Maybe plug your phone in and boot into download mode, then take your battery out before it shuts off and see if it stays on.

No dice. It just did the same thing it's been doing. I went into download, popped the battery, it stayed in download for a few seconds, and then powered off.
Could it be a faulty power button? The phone is constantly vibrating by itself and if the power button was messed up it could be causing the phone to leave download mode.

As far as I can tell pressing or holding the power button in download mode will only restart it, but won't shut it off. Also it takes about 10 seconds. I don't think it's your power button.

Ah, okay.
In that case, though, I have no clue what's causing the problem here. At this point the only thing I can do is enter download mode for a few seconds, but I can't get it to be enough time to flash a ROM in Odin.

Might be a dumb question... Is your battery charged? I'd plug it in for a while off and see if the battery logo comes up and than try putting it in recovery or download.

I tried that too. It's been plugged in for a while and the same thing happens. It just stays in download mode for a few seconds and then turns off. Also, I tried flashing back to stock in Odin but it failed because the phone turned off before the flash could finish. Now the phone says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select Recovery mode in Kies and try again."
So it's basically stuck in download mode cause of a corrupted flash. If I could get the phone to stay in download mode, I could flash it back to stock with Odin, but it's not giving me enough time at this point.

I'm running into the same problem currently, I was wondering if you were able to find a solution. Same ROM same Kernel. I've been using my current version of the ROM since October and haven't flashed anything recently, It just died on me last nigth and now I'm experiencing what you are as well. I was able to turn on the phone somehow last night but it stayed on for couple of mins and turned off again. At the time I had 60% charge.
Thanks

Unfortunately not. Sent my phone back to AT&T and they honored the warranty (despite it being very clear that I was rooted and on custom software).

Thanks. I got the phone when it launched so it's been over a year hence I'm well over the one year manufacturer warranty. Doubt they'll honor it for me =/.

Bad news, It's not about software, it's a hardware issue.
I had that issue with a Sprint S3,
The power button switch is stuck pressed all the time, you can try to hit it a little and maybe it pops out but the issue is gonna still there.
If you remove and insert the battery does it vibrates and tries to turn on without pressing the power button?

yup I just realized it was the power button issue. I managed to fix the problem[kind of], i kept trying to get into download mode while connected to AC Adapter with official charging cables. And it stayed in download mode long enough for me to go back to stock ROM. I'm just trying to avoid hitting the power button as much as possible because every time I do something goes crazy and phone turns off.
I'm gonna try and go to AT&T store tomorrow to see if they can do anything about this.
Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it.

You're welcome. Good luck dude :thumbup:

I have the same problem. I've tried to install quickly the twrp. But is not time enough

My problem was the battery. After charge a lot, all thing works fine.

Bricked?

Bell Galaxy S3 running stock JB rooted
I went to flash to Cyanogenmod 10.1 Nightly, it failed (Error status 7) so I attempted to reboot. Screen went black and stayed black, I left it for a few minutes, nothing happened then tried a battery pull. Now nothing. When I plug into my computer it makes the connect/disconnect chime but nothing else. If I hold down the power for ~10sec my laptop makes the disconnect chime, then when I release the power button it reconnects to my laptop (not sure if that helps any)
Just to further clarify, I cannot get to the download or recovery mod, screen is blank, no led when plugged in either.
Is it hard bricked?
I am looking at mobiletechvideos.com at their JTAG repair service. Is that my only/best option?
http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-jtag-brick-repair/

If all you did was try to flash cm10.1 then you are not bricked. You might not be doing the 3 button combo correctly to get back into recovery. Do this...
Pull Battery so power down device and then put it back in.
Hold volume Down, Home, then Power Button.
Release all of them when the 1st screen pops up. It's all about timing here.
That should take you back into recovery so you can just restore the nandroid backup you should've made prior to flashing anything.

No good, the screen is pure black no matter if I just try to power on, vol up + power + home, or vol down + power + home. Black screen.

Pull your battery, leave it out, and then plug it in.. no buttons or anything, it should turn on and see if it gets to the battery charging screen (which should show a lightning bolt only).
If it gets that far, power button and home button until you feel it vibrate, let go and it should boot.. post if it doesn't..
Don't press volume buttons, just home/power combo until it vibes..

Ok, so I did like you said, pulled battery and plugged the phone in to charge. I now get a solid red LED (this did not happen with the battery in), no lightning bolt though. The red LED turns off after about 2 minutes.

Well, at least the power connector inside isn't busted.. that's a good thing..
with it plugged in, does it turn on like normal? Just regular "boot my phone" mode, no recovery or download?
Try while the LED is on, and if nothing, try it after it goes out.. as I'm not entirely sure what that could mean..

Just the power button.. no volume/home buttons..
If all that was done was updating CWM on an already rooted phone, then only your recovery is borked, which is still repairable.. but if you were flashing something else, say CF-AutoRoot or a ROM, then I need to know..
Since you said Error=7, then I can assume you already had a working copy of CWM on it.. correct?

Ya I already had CWM on it. I was trying to flash Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly (todays release) on to the phone. I had Cyanogen10 on it a while back then switched back to stock firmware. I was curious as to the new JB4.2 so I wanted to try out Cyanogenmod 10.1

the OP said in 1st post that he was flashing a rom. never mentioned cwm. the only way to have flashed a rom in the first place and gotten a status 7 would have been in a custom recovery.

I am not familiar with the partitions on that device, so I can't say for sure. But all it takes is one file installed in the wrong place and you'd be in trouble. And if that file gets installed in the recovery partition....

i thought thats why the script was set to check the recovery partition to ensure it was a compatible (up-to-date) platform to install from. i dont understand why it would begin installing and then check. but then, i'm no recovery coder

What about forcing download mode ? I.e. volume down+home and no battery and then plugging in the usb cord. Then put in battery after its in download mode ?

I want to thank everyone for the help and input so far!
There is no one in town here than can unbrick a hard bricked phone, but Toronto is only a 50min drive and there are a few places that will do it (~$70), or I can order one of those jigs online that plug into the microUSB port for about $60. It's looking like I will be going one of those routes.

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...

Did all the above, computer still not recognizing usb, not going into recovery, and when i put the battery in it didnt turn on, so no sticky key. Im losing hope :[

No, I only let go of power button when I try to get into these modes. And yes I did restart my PC after i reinstalled drivers.

please help

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....

[Q] Phone does not boot, red light flashes, is it hard bricked?

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?
Thanks

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'
