i used to be able to get into recovery mode with the manual keypress. (vol up + vol down + power) However, after i flashed a i9000 rom, i can no longer do so. it boots up with a boot screen saying i9000 then goes to the att screen, then it just keeps looping that. i tried flashing back to stock but that screen is still there, leading me to believe that the phone really thinks it is an european galaxy s. that would require the physical home button to be hit to go into recovery . and to make matters worse, sdk now doesnt recognize my phone so i cant flash any updates right now. help would be appreciated
Have you tried all of these methods for Odin3 one click?

i can get into download mode if thats what you mean. all those methods are for download mode. i just cant get my phone to recovery to install an update.zip which is quite annoying. although at the bottom of that page it says when coming from i9000 roms to go to the jf6 first not the h2 which i didnt, so im going to reinstall a i9000 rom and then go back to the jf6 and see if that works
Update: the one click odin worked and removed it ! thanks for bringing that to my attention. i never knew it was different than what i was doing. i was using the odin that you load with the files that you want to and downloading the stock firmware from samsung-firmwares.com . apparently there is a slight difference
Because there's no physical home button?
I'm having the same issue trying to get the phone into recovery mode with buttons alone...and I'm running the JM5 ROM. The Captivate, unlike the Galaxy S, doesn't have a physical home button, and the sequence on those phones for recovery mode is volume up/home/power.
Hi everyone,
i'm new to this Android thing. last night i upgraed my sgs from 2.1 to 2.3.3. it works fine and i can go into download mode by holding down volume down + home +power but i cant get the phone to go into recovery mode.
can anyone please kindly show me how to get into recovery mode? (i tried volume up+ home+power, doesnt work)

Hi there. i flashed my SGS to the new 2.3.3 using Odin my kernel is DamianGTO beta 7 the problem is that i can get into recovery mode but i cant see the menu. instead i see the galaxy logo. i know that im in recovery mode because when i click the home button the phone reboots and start normally but when i go down with the volume buttons and click. the phone will not respond cause i clicked on some other option than the reboot. so what can i do in that case ?
and sorry for my bad english.
No one had this problem before? Im out of clues.
I have the same problem, so I'm too stucked now because CWM cannot boot into recovery mode too (i can only see the Galaxy S GT-I9000 SAMSUNG logo ... it reboot by pressing home buttom, so my guess is the same as you, the recovery mode is there but you cannot see the menu... )
So here's the full story, as short as I can make it.
I got my brand new galaxy player 4.0 today.
I put klins rom on it, no problem until I realized I flashed the old rom.
So I figured no problem, I'll just factory reset, then redo the process with the new release of the rom.
I soft bricked shortly, but I was able to factory reset, but when it came back on, the home button didn't work, and none of the 3 button combinations worked (recovery mode, download mode)
So I downloaded an app to get me to download mode. I hit download mode, and it put me into the stock recovery, and the power button doesn't work. So now I'm stuck in recovery mode, no matter what I do. All that works is the menu button (doesn't help much) and the volume up/down which just lets me hover over the options, and not select anything.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you so much.

I need help urgently. I tried to change the splash screen of my Samsung Galaxy A51. I downloaded a custom param tar file, placed it in my downloads folder and used this command in adb shell to replace the older one. I did back up my old param. But there's no way I can restore it. Now, my phone when I try to start it. It doesn't even seem to turn on the screen anymore. I hear the phone vibrating every 2 seconds so I assume it keeps rebooting. I tried to enter download mode but I can't because samsung made it that you need to go into the recovery first, so I tried to go into the recovery but nope, it keeps vibrating and it's not responding to whatever I do. Is there still any hope for my phone? Thanks in advance.
Hello, I had this problem too. My phone also stopped booting into anything, even in TWRP.
For me, the resolve was to make the phone force reboot by holding power button and volume down, then immediately try to enter the downloading mode by holding volume buttons, when the screen turns off
and then you need to flash your device with your stock ROM
I understand you, that you cannot enter the recovery, but for me this method worked
I managed to solve it, the problem I had was that I was unable to boot into download mode. Because I have a samsung galaxy a51 and I did not know how to enter it. The last phone I had was a samsung galaxy s7 edge, back in the old days it was easy to enter download mode, just hold volume down, power button and home button. Now for some reason I need a cable connected to my computer and then hold volume up and down simultaneously. After I figured out how to enter download mode I flashed stock rom and phone worked again.
