You need to pull the battery, put it back, and try one of the button combinations to get it into download mode on next boot. Your easiest route is either both volume buttons, and plug in USB without pressing power (which works on the Captivate), or hold just volume down and plug in USB (which is the right combination for an i9000). With one of these the phone should automatically power into the download mode. Get Odin one click ready to flash stock before you put the phone into download mode and hit start when it recognizes the device. If that won't work. try the other key combinations keeping in mind that they change when you flash an i9000 image, so you should try all Captivate combinations, and all i9000 combinations. Since the Captivate lacks a physical home button, anything that involves that will not work, which is the reason why you are stuck in recovery. The i9000 recovery is expecting you to press the home button to select (unlike the power on the stock Captivate).
also, ADB commands should work while the phone is in recovery mode
Same Problem
The Key combination Vol +, Vol - and the power button power cycles the phone whether or not the phone is in recovery mode or off. I am having the same problem, and there are no key combinations that worked for me. For now, I am permanently stuck in recovery mode. I could use some help here, as I have tried everything.
Oh, for the I9000 ROM installed on the captivate, adb commands do not work. While the phone is in recovery mode, you cannot connect to the PC.
I have found though, that by booting into the recovery menu, plugging in your USB cord and then taking out/putting in the battery will put into an unknown upload mode which does connect it to the computer, but not in a way that allows Odin or adb to run. There might be a way to flash/work with the phone, but I don't know how. Any help would be appreciate, as it is not in disk mode.

1. Take out battery and put it back in
2a Hold Vol Up+Vol Down (Do not press power)
or
2b Hold Vol Down (Do not press power)
3. Plug in USB cable connected to computer (Still do not press power)
If the phone behaves like a Captivate, after using 2a and 3, you should be in download mode. If the phone behaves like an i9000, after 2b and 3, you should be in Download mode.
Response & Update
Have tried both of these options. Either way you do it, the phone still goes back into recovery mode. There was talk about using a custom kernel that would allow you to use the power button as the select button. Is there any way to use adb in recovery mode, so you can install the modified kernel, or reboot to download mode? If not, I started a thread on this question that can be found here as well:

The 2e and 3e Download and Recovery modes were disabled by Samsung in later models of the SGS. It is not possible to get there using a combination of buttons etc.,
How to install the Download/Recovery Mode fix (3 Button Disabled SPL fix) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785201
There may be another method using an AnyWay JIG cable: which is a MicroB USB to Standard USB connector where I think one crosses pin 3 and 4 with a 301kOhm resister 1% tolerance, 1/4Watt. It would be best to search this forum for precise instructions.
Win for a dumb f%^k
well this isnt a good answer but i have a phone that went as discribed, no respose to three button, and unable to flash or get off the system reset screen on start up work on it for about 6 hour then left it when i came back i turned it on plug in the usb and CMD'ed adb reboot download and what did you know this time it worked? reset from that screen and it return to normal sooo.... um good luck and there is a way out just not shore what exactly it is
good for some
okey after fidling around i found my phone responded to adb ie download adb open a cmd line and typing adb reboot download. from there i just cycled the power hold down the power button a while and it rebooted to normal working order. though i still cant get 3 button even with flashing the fix so no hacking for me hope this helps
I'm using the Samsung Fascinate, i500 and i got stuck on the same screen too!!! i just double tapped the home button and rebooted the phone
I was able to get out of a 2e loop by running adb reboot download with odin open, then reflashed from there. Went through the same process twice since cognition 2.3b8 does not want to install on my phone. had no problem with b7 install.
Instructions were not that great. But Thanks -I figured it out and am back up.
Same problem here, cant make my phone go to download mode, ok or select key "power button" not working.
already tried the 2 methods before and they not working, (combination of keys)
Vibrant stuck in android system recovery 2e
I know this is not exact help but i just accidentally found myself into download mode after more key combo fiddling. I believe the last combo that got me in was either holding UP + POWER or just UP at the precise moment the screen goes black to reboot. This is after quite a few boot cycles so trial and error seemed to pull it off.
I'd test it again to be more sure but i don't want to risk being stuck again at this point. But I figured i'd speak up now, because i don't plan to have 2e there ever again.
I have seen this asked quite a bit around here lately. Thought I would put this out there for reference. Let me know if you have better ways/I have it totally wrong.
FIRST METHOD (easiest/most common)
1) Power phone off
2) Plug USB into computer
3) Hold vol up + vol down
4) Plug USB into phone while still holding the vol up and vol down
5) Yellow /_\ (triangle, Downloading, Andy shoveling, Do not turn off Target!!! symbol)
Your now in Download mode
SECOND METHOD
1) Power phone off
2) Plug USB into Computer
3) Plug microUSB into phone
4) Hold pwr + vol up + vol down
5) When Batt icon goes away, release pwr, still holding vol up + vol down
6) Yellow /_\ (triangle, Downloading, Andy shoveling, Do not turn off Target!!! symbol)
You should now be in Download mode.
THIRD METHOD
1) Power phone off
2) Pull battery out
3) Hold vol up + vol down
4) While holding vol up + vol down, plug in USB cable into the phone
5) While still holding vol up + vol down, put battery back in
6) Yellow /_\ (triangle, Downloading, Andy shoveling, Do not turn off Target!!! symbol)
You should now be in Download mode.
FOURTH METHOD (adb)
1) Enable debugging on your phone (Menu>Settings>Applications>Development>)
2) With phone on, plug USB into computer and phone
3) Open cmd
4) Type in "adb devices" (not totally necessary, but I always do it just to make sure everything is good), making sure it recognizes your device
5) Type in "adb reboot download"
6) Yellow /_\ (triangle, Downloading, Andy shoveling, Do not turn off Target!!! symbol)
You should now be in Download mode.
If you have CERTAIN GB bootloaders it changes the the way you access download and recovery.
Download mode = vol down + pwr (NOT - vol up + vol down + pwr)
Recovery = vol up + pwr (NOT - vol up + vol down + pwr)
Like I said, let me know if any of this should be changed.
*Edit- Changed steps 4 & 5 in "THIRD METHOD", per comments.
Perfect
the first method worked for me
For the 3rd method I plug in the usb cable first, then push both volume keys, then put battery back in while holding both volume keys.
Great guide, thanks!
ive got a bricked phone that doesnt even respond to the USB jig... and still none of these work for my "phone--!--comp" screen
Does odin recognize it? In most cases you can still flash odin on that screen.
not sure if you got yours fixed. If you can see your phone + !+ comp then it's not a full brick. Jig should work, it worked for me today.
I got this, what do I do next? I keep getting message "SIM network unlock PIN". I have tried everything I find in this site, only to be dazed...I have two SamsungS Vibrant's and I got one to work just fine...it's the second that has gotten the better of me...HELP, please and THANK YOU
4th method should be
open cmd then
cd/
cd androidsdk
cd tools
adb devices (to make sure its connected)
adb reboot download

try this, hold the volume down button and power then insert the USB. worked for me. haha
I tried all these methods after updating to 2.3.4 and can not get back into the download mode. Any suggestions please? Thanks in advance.
Hold volume down + up and insert usb while phone is off
I did that. It didn't work.
EDIT:
I evidently did it wrong. It worked the last time I tried. Thanks
i'm on 2.3.3 and am having this issue with not being able to get back into download mode anymore or recovery mode. tried every combination and all four mentioned in another thread. is there another way to flash a rom without being in download mode? can i just do it straight from odin after plugging it in?
mine didnt seem to work with any of those but i saw a video based on the epic by holding down the #"1" button on the key pad and the power button takes you to download mode ,and it worked for me
It Works
Volume down + Power..It works Thanks!!
But am still stuck with bad IMEI ..
omg!
thank you so much! it worked for me. but my imei is still null . and wont read my sim card. any of them this happened after i tried to unlock it . does any one know how to fix it? ive used odin and flashed the stock rom still didnt work. ive upraded it to 2.3.3 still didnt work. idk what the deal is . but it wont work. can any one help me with this? i have a galaxy s 4g for tmobile. it keeps saying searching at the top
What I do, is take the battery out, put the battery in, plug in the usb, take the battery out, volume up down up down up down up down, unplug usb, take out the battery, take the dog for a walk, put the battery back in, hold down the volume keys, then plug it in, and it works!
jk, great guide. much thanks

i can't adb cause my pc not recognise my xoom.
please,help me to figure out.

*PS:-my xoom is m600 [wifi-3g/verizon-usa version]
can you reboot the device? if yes does it stuck on reboot without pressing buttons?
if you cant turn of the device with the power button just press power + vol up at the same time for 3 sec
now it should turn off
this may help you
Here is how I was able to get into different booting modes.
1. Power down
2. Power up and wait for the M sign to show up
3. Press volume down, nvFlash will display, press volume down again, RSD mode will display, press volume down again, fastboot mode will display.
4. Press volume up to select fastboot
5. Go ahead and flash the kernel that you like to restore
can you change the booting mode by pressing vol down?

thanks for your quick response..
yes,i can reboot/powerr off by power+vol UP.
but if only press power button to turn off ,nothing happens.
EDIT:-try this method and no success.
I don't know if I got something wrong up there, but since you didn't flash anything and were just playing around with vol up/down, you should not have to flash anything...
What happens if you just reset your xoom by holding vol up + power for 3 seconds and after that just wait? Imo your xoom should just boot back into android and everything should be fine...
he don´t has to flash something
i am not sure if he wasnt able to turn of the device... and reboot it or something else...
the points for flashing r optional - if he wants to change the kernel or something

Try holding Vol up + PWR for 3 seconds and release, you should see the Motorola logo.
Can you tell us what happened before the xoom went off, or if you have loaded a custom ROM some time ago.

Let the battery go all the way down. Then put it on charge and try to boot-up.
Can you get into fastboot mode? If so, you should be able to reboot into your OS.
Hello I have a new problem now and I need help,
My first problem was trying to reformat one of my SD Cards because it was corrupt so I Rooted my device but now whenever I start my device it goes to the screen where I can to slide to unlock but the Touch Pad is just not working.

I have been trying that but it wont work, do I have to hold it for like 30 seconds or 5 minutes ?
And btw if I do get into recovery mode how do I click enter (I was there before but I couldn't select things since I only have Power button and volume buttons)
You navigate with volume up and volume down and select with the power button once you are in recovery mode.
Try holding volume up and volume down at the same time and press the power button to get into recovery mode. Or try just holding volume up and then press the power button.

I tried every possibility, I don't think I can go into recovery mode. Is there a way to fix it if I connect to my computer or something ? I can turn on the Tablet and plug it into my PC but I just need a way to do a factory reset or reformat or w/e to remove everything.
You can access recovery with adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853159. Just follow the instruction!
Hi, I've been trying to flash TWRP to my phone in order to root and install some custom roms but there is a problem. I boot into download mode just fine no problems I connect my phone to my PC via USB cable and Odin recognizes my phone I untick auto reboot choose the correct TWRP file and start it and this is where it all fall aparts. My phone doesn't restart on it own, it just keeps staying on the downloading please don't turn off the target screen. I tried all the button combinations no luck phone doesn't restart. Only combination that works is volume down and power button but that just shut downs the phone. I really need some help here guys. Thanks in advance
after flashing TWRP, hold down volume (-) and power button, do not release until you start again... when you start, change volume (-) button to volume (+) for a few seconds and release... then start twrp
After flashing TWRP, disconnect cable, hold Volume DOWN and POWER button and once the screen is OFF, press and hold POWER + Vol UP + HOME.
