fastboot/recovery - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

Is there a way to boot into either using hardware buttons? I haven't been able to figure out how to do either one.
I came from the first mt3g and that stuff was super easy on that phone. With my Blaze I'm stuck in a bootloop and reverting via Odin doesn't help after many attempts. '
Any ideas are appreciated, thanks.

Power off or pull battery. Hold down volume up and volume down buttons. Push power button until phone vibrates. Let off power button but keep holding volume buttons until recovery loads up. Hope this helps.

You are the man. I don't know if it's gonna solve my problem, but I was sick of trying different combos.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but let go of the power only after splash screen, continue holding volume rockers.

I need help!!!!!

I bought a phone called Samsung Captivate from craigslist. The bad thing about that is the power button did not work. I knew it didn't work thinking I could fix it. I took the phone apart to clean the button. I read that a "CRC QD Electronic Cleaner" would help. I used that. It didn't help. I am think that software is the issue. I want to return it to a stock ROM becuase this phone is rooted. In order to do that I need the the power button to work, to enter it into download mode. Ive tried apps to shutdown the phone, Nothing would help. If anyone can help me that would be awesome.

ya use adb or you could always buy those dowload mode micro usb things on ebay
If you want to turn it off just pull the battery. You don't need the power button for download mode. hold both volume buttons and plug in the usb from the computer

There are thankfully multiple ways to get into the recovery and download modes. Definitely get a handle on the ADB command line to, it's the easiest in my opinion.
If you can't fix the button don't sweat it, I've used my cappy for the last 6 months without it. Use ROMs that have a "volume rocker unlock" feature and learn to use the soft buttons to navigate recovery mode.

Power button issue, random power button press

Had to return to the captivate after my s2 broke. My cappy is having random power button presses, even when the phone is not even touched, although a light touch on the power button turns it on, and a hard press sometimes doesn't do anything. In assume it is most likely a hardware issue.
And I have a question about something else. My cappy has a gingerbreaduckh3 and I'm wondering how to get a custom rom like muiu installed. I know a captivate is different from s2 and you have to mess around with bootloaders.
I need an answer to either issue

To get to a Dev Rom...
See TRusselo's Flashing Guide. It is up to date.
For the power button issue...search in the general and q & a forums. There have been quite a few threads on that issue as of late.

Trying to disable power button. used no lock and screen off apps but the power button still self presses
Did you ever get this resolved. Mine is now doing this.

Button prob fix?

I have my O1 for 2 years now, unfortunately i pressed my off button and up volune too hard when soft brick my phone about months after buying. Its still functioning if i pressed hard enough. Now its worsening, is there any way I can fix it? I have tools to open it.
Just a thought. Sorry if there is a previous thread as this, but i search already and theres none.

This might help.
Buttons do have the maximum amount of clicks. Thats why they degrade. If you want to fix it (hardware) u need to replace the switch (the one connected at board) which is hard.
There is a mod somewhere that replaces (or use both power and search key) as powerbutton. It wont replace the power button when booting up the phone but atleast turning off the screen using the search key.

But mine degraded just 4 monthaftrr using O1. I pushed the power button too hard as i was panicked that i hard brick my O1(does not enter cwm, just a few character on the uppwr left corner). OT, sorry.
Thats my main prob, i always flash rom, and if i got stuck in bootloop i have to enter cwm manualy (3 button combo). And it took me of average 3 minutes or more as it didnt detect the power button in the combo.
Have to live with that i guess.
Thanks for all the help. .
But i still hope tht i can repair it. :/

Haha, my power buttons is also very bad.When I got stuck on bootloop I replace the battery and quickly put it on(very quickly) and the I press vol. down and home to enter in recovery, that's the difficult part, but at least it's easier than turning it on with our damm power button

Recovery mode????

Hi all. Sorry if this sounds REALLY noobish(I'm not a noob, honestly) but try as i might, I can't seem to get this thing to boot into bootloader or recovery using the button combo. Telstra one xl. Had it for 2 days now & its driving me insane. Searched everywhere. Only instructions I've found say to press and hold volume+ & power for 10-15 seconds for recovery or volume- & power for bootloader. No matter how I try, it just boots normally. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hold the volume button first with phone completely turned off then press power for 3-4 seconds and release power button while still holding volume button. the phone is a bit picky if you dont time it right
Hold down power and vol. down until the buttons on the bottom are done flashing, and then let go of only the power button until bootloader screen comes up.
Now I just use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to get into it for me
Thanks. Managed to get bootloader. Selecting recovery from there seems to put me in download mode. Had to press vol+ and power to get recovery menu from there.

As it sounds like you have found, Power and Vol - is the right combo. Holding volume - until the white hboot screen comes up is the key. It seems to me that thhe huge majority of people that can't get into hboot properly, is because the release power and volum - at the same time. People will often just say "Power and Vol -", without explaining that you need to keep holding vol -, which is probably the cause for the confusion.
Power and Vol + puts you in Qualcomm download mode, which is not a good idea.
Yeah, worked it out. But, not mentioned anywhere was that you have to have the 'fast boot' option disabled in settings. Ironic that you would have to disable 'fast boot' in order to get into 'fastboot' , don't ya reckon.

I've seen that mentioned in quite a few places, just probably not the places you have read. If you use the method of holding the power button until the capacitive buttons flash, then start holding the vol - when the screen powers off, this will work regardless of whether or not "fast boot" is selected in Settings>Power (since this forces a restart, rather than a power down).

Well, they refer to completely different things. Blame it on HTC giving their gimmicky deep-sleep trick the name "fast boot" when the term "fastboot" was already used for the Android SDK tool.
Ok cool. Thanks for the tutorial. Bit confusing at first. Think i've gov it now.

I always find it easiest to simply choose reboot from power menu, and when it boots down keep holding the volume down :thumbup:

Yup, that's another way. Same as holding the power button down until the capacitive buttons flash and the phone reboots, then hold volume -.
