I got the Samsung Galaxy S for my personal use, and after a few days of playing with the phone, I will be covering vairous articles on that phone i.e rooting, flashing a new ROM etc.

Let’s start off with something basic. One of the most important things you should know is how to get into Recovery mode on the Samsung Galaxy S I9000.

Follow the steps below to get into the Recovery mode.

  • Turn off your phone.
  • Now hold the Volume Up + Power buttons together.
  • Your phone will now boot into the Recovery mode.

You should see a screen something like the one in the photo above.

    To hard reset your phone OR flash a new ROm, you first need to go in

    Recovery mode. This is what the article is about.

    To set the phone into recovery mode to get what the picture suggests you have to press the volume UP key, not the volume DOWN key as suggested here.

    When you wrote “?Now hold the Volume Down + Home + Power buttons (when you see the Samsung logo, stop holding it for half a second and then again hold it).”. which of the 3 buttons do we have to let go of?

    i got the 19000 and neither volume up or down work, goes onto a screen where it says downloading do not turn off power with a yellow triangle. my phones blocked out after my friend constantly got the login pattern wrong

    Restart your phone, after you'll see samsung logo, hold volume up and home button (with out power!). You will enter recover mode.

  • Lochmaddy

    Oh fuck! Did as you said. Now its says downloading. Do not turn off :(

    This doesn't work. The phone just boots up as normal. Where are these instructions coming from? I hate Samsung/Google. Why can't they put some decent official documentation out here? Why make a product then abandon your users? They deserve to fail.
