Volume up button disabled - can't get into download mode

---

Hey guys, I've bought a galaxy s2 (t-mobile) and tried to root it. I held the vol up and down button while holding the power button, got into "press up to continue, down to cancel" screen, but I keep pressing up and nothing happens?!

The volume up button does work when the phone is on and I can make the ringer louder, but not during the download mode. Is there a fix?

are you trying to get into download/odin mode? if so you hold up/down and insert the usb cable while still holding down the up/down. I didn't think power button was involved in the matter but maybe there are 2 ways. Anyhow, try that maybe it'll work.. Did you update the phone to ics thru kies yet? Maybe that flash could do something helpful..

Sorry, I did mean that with the holding up/down button and USB cable. I am trying to get into download/odin mode. But I only get to the screen where it says to push volume up to continue, or down to cancel. It is the right screen, I just cant push up, nothing happens...

Also, I did not try to update the phone to ics thru kies yet. How do I do that?? You mean the regular software update in the settings menu?

Ok, so I updated to 4.0.3 via Kies and now have ICS on the phone. I tried booting into odin/download mode, and once I'm in the warning screen "A custom OS can cause critical.....bla bla bla.....Volume Up: Continue, Volume down: Cancel (restart phone), the volume up button does NOT work and still seems disabled.

The button itself (up button) is not broken, as it works when the phone is on to make the ringer louder.

Any other ideas? I'm really confused why it won't work ??

Anyone? Any help would be great :)

same problem here

If u can get into recovery mode and r using cmw hit both up/down buttons at the same time. Ill take a thumb and place it in the middle of the buttons then push them (dont hold them tap them) after doing this itll say something like rockers disabled or something like that. When I used cmw Ive done that a few times and didnt know it and when in cwm I couldnt use the volume buttons anymore to make a selection. Do this to enable the buttons in recovery mode I never noticed if it only took effect in both modes or just in recovery mode but its worth a shot.
