I have been using revolution for some time. I recently downloaded the current version. When I tried to get to the bootloader, (vol up/power), the phone vibrates 3 times and the yellow light blinks.
I have to remove the battery to re-boot the phone.
any suggestions?
thank you!

That's because its volume down + power. Volume up takes you to Qualcomm mode.

Didn't know that one. What is Qualcomm mode or what does it do?

Not sure. I just heard attn1 refer to it as such. Probably a secret HTC debug mode. If you plug your phone into pc in this mode it installs a different driver than usual.

If I don't take the battery out first, hit vol down and power button, nothing happens. When I release them, it will boot normally.
Is there an easy way to get into recovery mode?

That was checked. "Turn off to use some market apps".
Unchecked it. Then when you power off, it actually powers off and you can enter recovery.

Great! Thanks. Just curious, "turn off to use some mkt apps". What apps can be used when the phone is off?
im not really sure because i had a stock recovery since the 2.3.4 update but cant you just do it in rom manager?
This is driving me crazy. I can not get my phone to go into download mode. i am holding both volume buttons down and when i plug in the usb cable it just goes to the charging screen. i have root on 2.3.3 and i am trying to get cwm installed some how so i can do a nandroid backup. am i doing something wrong or is there a way to adb into download mode?

You on GB? Try holding volume up and pwr button. If not, a jig always work.

2 post.... hmmm trolling. also you put one of the e's on the wrong word.
who's ned?
Take out your battery, insert USB cable, hold both up and down volume along with the power button. Insert you're battery. This should put you in download mode. If your screen remains black, listen for the phone to connect to your computer any way. If you see it in Odin...try rerunning Odin. Odin can be a picky beast. I always connect my chord in a rare usb port...seems to help.
Good luck. Don't panic. At most, you will have to get/make yourself a jig to get in download mode.

You are teh correct.
Sent from a phone.
Phone will go into download mode for a split second then reboot but not boot up. I would have to do a battery pull to get it booted all the way. Phone also will not go into recovery mode.
Is something wrong with your volume button? That sounds more like it's broken since you can't boot into either download or recovery.

It will go into download, just only stay for a second.
Do you have any issues with your volume buttons while using the rom? When did this start happening? Also, did you do anything that might cause this to happen?
When you hold volume up, home, and power to boot into recovery then release the power button once it vibrates, what happens?

Once it vibrates when i try to go into a recovery, the screen just go blank,
Volume buttons work well. It's just the power button that's a little wonky. Also phone turns on when battery is placed in.
power button maybe stuck down, making it turn off when in recovery and on when battery is installed.

I thought it might be stuck too but when phone is fully booted into rom, it doesn't go on and off like the buttin is stuck.

I'm running into the same problem. I actually took my phone apart and checked the power button, it is not physically stuck though. My power button doesn't work at all, but it still pushes in like it's supposed to. Very odd

I just took mine apart as well. What Rom do you have on yours?

I got it to stay in download mode 1 time. Unfortunately I needed the phone to download a stock VRBMB1 firmware. Hopefully i can get it to do it again.

i'm not sure what happened, but today my phone just turned off and now wont boot. everything on the phone is stock (ICS update) and i have no never messed with flashing any roms. what happens is the phone turns on, gets to the start screen, then crashes. after crashing it will vibrate continuously until i remove the battery. i have tried to enter recovery and download mode but the phone just crashes and i never see the screens..what can i do?
Buy a USB jig. Might work, its a pain to enter recovery/download .
its your data that needs clearing

thanks, i wasn't sure what this was, but after a bit of Google searching it seems something ill definitely try. everything seems to say that the phone should be completely powered down to use the jig though. will it be a problem that i dont seem to be able to get my phone to that point? the second i put my battery in the phone attempts to turn on, and after it crashes it will just vibrate non stop.

yes, the Samsung logo will come up, and then it will go to the normal boot screen where it says "Samsung galaxy s blaze" with the blue loading bar under it. the bar will stop loading at some point and then it will crash

You can boot into recovery but it is annoying. If you have adb installed you can write:
Adb reboot download or adb reboot recovery really fast.
If not a jig may be the only option.

no, but i have successfully factory reset once before.
Okay that's nice to know... To enter download mode your phone has to be connected to your pc via usb cable, to enter download mode what you do Is hold the power button, volume up, and volume down button while the phone is off, once it powers on and you see the Samsung logo release the power button but continue holding the volume up, and volume down buttons this will put the device in download mode, have you ever used Odin before?

That's a problem... I had a blaze that had this problem it vibrated every two seconds... Never was able to fix it had to replace it. Like right before it goes black does a blue screen flash like just for a second?
