Here is a good news to all galaxy S users, this is an alternative way to get your galaxy s into Download mode without the 3 Button Recovery (3BR). It is the ONLY WAY to unbrick your galaxy S when it doesn't have 3BR enabled. (Just like mine)

You can build it within few bucks.
1. A very cheap Micro USB cable, don't use high quality cable as we going to cut off the wire.
2. 301k ohms resistor. In this video I was using one 300k 1/4 watt & one 1k 1/4 watt resistors. You may also use 3 x 100k + 1 x 1k resistors.

3. Solder the resistors together and place each end to the 4th & 5th pin of the micro USB. you may refer to this picture.

4. You're done. Plug it in to your phone and wait few seconds. You will got the download screen. =D

Sorry for my bad english & Good Luck for everyone. =)

Special Thanks to xda-developer.com and my friend who did the solder work for me. =)
