  • @Channyp13 You must have the Clockworkmod recovery installed first! Then you have to turn off you phone, wait for the little vibration so it's completely off. Then press volume up key + home key + power button. Hold on until you see the Galaxy S Logo.

  • The Galaxy S Captivate for AT&T you must, from off position, press both volume UP & DOWN & Then hold with power button until the Samsung Logo appears. After logo appears, release Power Button. When Recovery mode appears, release Both volume buttons.

    Volume scrolls. Power button selects option.

    Again, Samsung Galaxy S Captivate on AT&T.

  • @Cihangiryigit hi i got the same problem now, did you fix your fone?

  • hi, my phone is literally stuck in a frozen mode with a blue-screen ish, and I tried to send it into recovery mode but it comes into the same screen. Is there any commands you know to force it to hard reset?

  • nice video kid. An even better hint for command promt is to press the up key just one tap types everything again and you can cycle to previous commands

  • 1. Press the Up and the Down button at the same time (yes both). I too thought that button was a Toggle which only did either Up or Down, but found that in fact it does do both.

    2. At the same time, press the power button.

    3. As soon as the Samsung / Vibrant logo comes up on the screen, release the power button.

    4. Release the Up and Down buttons.

    5. PRESTO IT WORKS

Really need your help! Can't wait to try out some custom roms.

  • @MrKillerboy92 I read that you need to disable lag fix before updating.

    Please help...

  • post #1

    Hello, I realy could use some help regarding my little problem i've experienced recently. I am a galaxy s I9000 owner (stock android 2.1 update 1), and decided to try the new android 2.2 froyo. I've upgraded my phone via samsung kies (easier for me because i'm not familiary with rooting and hacking phones). The upgrade is great, flash player 10, some new apps, but have a little problem ... not expected something like this ...

  • the third one my one says error occured

  • Love your videos man but i recently got a captivate and cant connect it to my computer to transfer files or root or anything I have all the drivers. HELP PLEASE :(

  • I have a rooted Galaxy Tab, and figured the 3rd way (ROM Manager) was similar. I downloaded ROM Manager, downloaded the recommended ClockworkMod (specific to my GTab for Tmobile), and rebooted into recovery. I get a E:failed to very whole-file siganture, E:signature verifcation failed. I still get the standard blue text recovery menu. Am I doing something wrong?

  • @guytechie I have the same error, what is the solution?

  • when i open up the cmd windows and type the Androidsdk and the rest of it nothing happens, i checked my c drive and the android sdk folder is not there but i did actually install the problem help!

  • Hey... I tried to the first one, never got that menu. Now I'm trying to use the second way, I don't know where to download that AndroidSDK file. I downloaded something from android.com but it had SDK Manager. I just swtiched from an iPhone and the lag is killing me. I need to root my phone and fix the lag. Pleeeeeease HELP!

  • Great! Thanks for sharing.

  • I can tell you was never a dos user :D

  • Thank you for your help Without it I would have not been able to restore to factory default my galaxy tab... ;-)

  • hey thanks for the helpful vid !

  • Thanks a lot! I managed to brick my phone and the 3 button recovery mode didn't work. The second solution worked on a brick phone(luckily, I had enabled USB debugging before).

    You saved the day!

  • I need help. I can't get to recovery mode doint the 1st step. can I download the ROM Manager then connect my phone to the computer to install roms?

  • When froyo 2.2 comes out, do I need to unflash clockworkmod recovery and unroot it in order to receive the update(currently running on stock kernel, and none of roms installed), or just unroot it without unflashing it?

  • thanks awesome

  • hi thanks for this video this has help me recover my galaxy s what i thought was bricked after tying evrithing! ;-)

    and i obviously cant do the other two wys u showed cuz i dont have any of that stuff

  • the android sdk packages took forever to download!!! is this normal?

  • Thanx for the video mate, it helped me a lot on my own phone (-;

  • Hey i need help. i can't get into the recovery mode in the first step, can i download the one click lag fix in the market and using 2nd step getting in recovery mode and root my phone ? reply me asap thanks.

  • @LouisMarshmallow Yes, that should be fine.

  • @TechSaviSolution do i need to root my phone 1st before using CWM??

  • @TechSaviSolution do i need to root my phone 1st before using ROM manager/ CWM??

  • @LouisMarshmallow thats what i did it works :), for some reason it says i havent rooted the phone today, but yesterday it said i did root it.. and i did root it btw

  • thank you ..

    you are the best..

    second way worked for me

  • there are three options before accepting the installation pacakage

    accept regect  accept all

    which one to select?

  • After clock work mod has been applied can i use do methods 1 and 2 to get into the clock work mod, or will that put me in normal recovery?

  • @JeremyLeroy96 It'll put you in normal recovery, but if you select the "flash . zip from sd card" option, then it'll get you into the clockworkmod recovery. The easiest way, however, is to go into recovery mode straight from the Rom Manager app itself.

  • 6:24 : Or you can hit up :O

  • I have tried all these and none of them work for me :(

    Can i have some help for the second way ???

    Thanks

  • has anyone tried the 3rd way with rom manager

  • @anonymusneo You have to be rooted before you can use the 3rd way w/ rom manager.

  • This seems very helpful, so i will subscribe and save the videoclip on favorites if my phone gets a problem. Because ive just order this phone, and i will get it next week. I cant wait. Because it seems great!

    Really nice videoclip!

  • Thanks! second method worked flawlessly!

    It helped that I had the dev environment installed already ;)

  • Is the second method safe? Does it brick the phone. My JG4 from Spore doesnt have the 3 button combo.
