It probably has something to do with the loss of power in the middle of your process. Was this the method you used originally?

I don't know what you've tried so far, but give this a whirl...
Push and hold the "Volume Down (-) button">press the power button. Hopefully you'll boot into the Recovery Menu. If you get it, press the volume down button and when you get to the "Recovery" option his the power button.

Your bootloader has been downgraded to a froyo version and you have a gingerbread shipped phone. Your phone is incompatible with this hboot. You need to use the hack kit to flash a correct version of hboot. Or do it manually if can't get hack kit to recognise your device when it passes the main white HTC screen.

Downgraded using Ace Hack Kit and currently at HBOOT-0.85..0024 with S-off, is this still incompatible?

You won't be able to use hboot. You have to let it try to boot and just hang on whatever screen it does. From there your phone is recognizeable via adb or hackkit. Both can be used to flash hboot. With adb use the fastboot commands.

That is symptom of a messed bootloader. How were you trying to downgrade? if you flashed a froyo hboot or RUU and your device was shipped with GB then you need to fix the bootloader. You are warned about this.

[Q] Can you break download mode? I think my Skyrocket is FUBAR :[

I flashed the stable CM10 and everything was ok.
Then I flashed 4.2 gapps and set some alarms.
Now the phone is in a boot loop so I try to return it to stock with Odin and when I get to download mode I click Vol Up to get in and I see Andy the Android for a split second before I get a sort of Blue Screen.
I'm wondering if I broke download mode somehow. Is there a fix for this?
I'm shoving the battery in, pressing the two volume keys, letting go when I see the download screen, hitting Vol Up to accept, then the phone reboots as Andy pops up.
Note: even when I don't accept download mode the screen will go blue and restart the phone.
Thanks in advance.

it could be the sticky power button issue, info on that in the ref sticky, if not the button, then hardware failure, u can try to remove battery for about ten mins then check to see if it is resolved

Umm... I've never had to press volume up to accept download mode... just sayin.

Oh and its not bricked, I'm pretty sure. I got this little dongle thing from Amazon last year for my vibrant, but it works for my skyrocket too, for like 2 dollars. (I guess u can make em also) You just plug it into your phone and it puts it in download mode. Very handy.

Well I don't think it's the power button because I don't think I could get to Download mode with the power button being pressed.
Here's a video of what's happening:
http://youtu.be/SY_dN7qN36w

That's a pretty guick sequence. So are you inserting the battery then hold down the buttons then inserting the cable.?
Maybe give the electrons a chance to flow into the circuits!

Yes. It had to be quick. If I do it slowly it starts the boot loop.
After talking to AT&T I'm getting a new battery. I really hope that's the problem, even though I don't think that's it.

If your phone starts to reboot you're doing something wrong. Download mode should last indefinitely. In fact you have to tell it to proceed to some other step. Re-read Vincom's instructions.
Edit : sounds to me that you are not holding down the volume buttons with the power button.

8. How To Put your device into Download Mode: (download mode is NOT the same as recovery mode)
a. Connect the USB cable to your PC, but NOT your device.
b. Remove the battery.
c. Reinsert the battery.
d. Press and keep down both Volume Up and Volume Down keys then insert the USB cable into your device. (On Rogers phones It's just Vol Down.) DO NOT RELEASE THE VOLUME BUTTONS UNTIL INSTRUCTED
e. When You see the screen warning you about installing a rom w/a yellow triangle RELEASE the volume key(s)
f. Now press and release the volume "up" key, you should now be at the Download Mode screen w/odin recognising your phone. -See Pics Below-.

It says not to touch the power button. Is the power button a part of this? In the video I didn't hold it.
As for the sticky power button, I really don't know. I clobbered it, I listened very carefully to it. The instructions to fix it were like "hit it hard and repeatedly" or something.
When do you think I should be hitting these buttons? before the vibrate, or after? Before the Samsung logo, or after? With power button, without?

Can you hear a"click" when you press the power button?... It's not very loud but definitely a click.

Well here's the thing lobster... On my phone if I replace the battery... Nothing happens... If I now press and hold the volume buttons with out inserting a cable... Nothing happens.
Yours must be stuck in the pressed state although you say it clicks when pushed.??? Don't suppose you have any contact cleaner? Maybe a tiny drop of rubbing alcohol?

So when you take out the battery and put it back in it doesn't try to turn itself on? If you're saying you can put the battery back in it and nothing happens, then I guess the button must be stuck.

Where would I put the rubbing alcohol? Would I need to take apart the chassis/case/housing? I imagine rubbing it on the power button wouldn't do anything.
BTW, sincerely, thanks for the help.
Edit: I bashed the phone, power button first, against the table while it was booting up and I saw my boot animation for a second. I thought it was fixed so I stopped bashing and it just rebooted again.

its 99% the power button, hearing it click is no indication thats its working as its an internal problem, theres 3 links to the problem in the "info" section in the "1 stop" sticky in my sig . taking it apart to get to the internal contact is one way to fix it, maybe the only way to fix it. if phone starts as soon as you put the battery in w/out touching any buttons then its a sticky/failed power button. warranty repair is also another solution
its 1% for a battery and/or battery contact problem

You shouldn't have used kdz.. you could easy recover by flashing a new rom.
Now that you might have bricked it.. try home + vol down then power.. hold these buttons for few seconds.. see if it works.
If not.. hold Vol Up and Power and see if it enters emergency mode.. if it does.. you can use kdz again but carefull.... Have complete knowledge of using kdz.

None Of Those Worked But Thanks For The Help.

[Q] Recovery Mode Not Working

Hi Guys , I'm new to this forum. Hope you you guys can teach me. Currently, I'm having a problem with my Galaxy Tab Plus. I wish to root and Install CWM in this device but I can't get into Download mode . And whenever i goes into Recovery Mode , it just freeze I can't move up and down.
One more thing is I can't get into recovery mode by pressing the vol up or down with power button. I have to get into Recovery mode from Backup/Reset.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

First check your Vol+/- keys are working properly by adjusting volume up and down when running normally. Could be a hardware key problem.
Power on while holding Vol+ (nearest power key). Release power when you see the splash screen, but continue to hold Vol+ until you see the Android. Cursor will be on top line of menu, so you need to use Vol- to select anything other than Reboot.

May i know what rom are you in?
You may want to flash CWM via odin first..
Then from CWM.. install the root.zip..
This is what i did yester when i restored my phone..
Hope it helps

Stuck in bootloop with broken vol button

My girlfriends phone has been running liquid smooth for a long time. Last night the battery died and when she plugged it in and turned it on it stays at the liquid smooth boot screen. It wont go any further then that. The volume up key also does not work so I don't know how to get into recovery. What should I do?

Is the volume up button broke or stuck compressed? If it is broke you could go into download mode and flash 4.1.2 so she has a working phone. If its compressed you could try the wack method to uncompress the button.

Wait you need volume up to confirm download mode never mind.

I just watched a YouTube video to see if it asks for confirmation. He used a jig marketed for the s2 on the s3 and it went straight to a flash able state (no volume confirmation). So it looks like a good option for you. I think you can buy them for under a buck and if memory serves me you can make it out of a old cable and a resistor.
