can't enter download mode

---

volume down, power and home button combo doesn't work :/

what can i do to enter download mode?

Shut down ur device completely.
Unplug ur device from the charger or PC.
Hold down volume down and home button.
While keeping that pressed down, power up ur device.
Hold on to all three buttons until u see the download mode screen.

Hope that helps.

tnx, but i did all that several times, non of them got me into dwnload mode.

i read about some series of galaxy s, i think, which had this bug, they were unable to enter dnwload as well. i hope it's not the same problem

so is there a way to enter dwnload or do update some other way? i'm on 2.3.4 gingerbread.xwkg8

if you have 'USB jig' use that or buy one . It will be always useful.

(in eBay lowest price will be $1.55 including shipping to many country. But, it will take 2-4 weeks)

Bring ur phone back to Samsung and have it changed.
No point having a phone that doesn't boot into stock recovery or stock download mode.
Both these functions should work on a stock phone and not void warranty.

i tried again several times today and still nothing..

ima have it replaced defo, tnx

try reset yo factory setting..

pull off battery -> plug jig -> put battery back

or

turn off device -> plug jig -> press per button.
