Hold down volume up + home key + power button then wait the "samsung galaxy s" then release the 3 buttons.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki...#Recovery_Mode

Factory reset

On the Galaxy S the soft-reset is achieved by pressing and holding the power button. A hard-reset can executed by pressing and holding VolumeUP+Home+Power. There you will find the options "reboot", "apply sdcard:update.zip", "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition".
The "wipe data/factory reset" option will restore your phone to the original configuration of the firmware YOU LAST INSTALLED (including any updates made via update.zip). This will NOT bring your phone back to the firmware installed when you originally bought it unless you haven't flashed your phone.
You can navigate the recovery screen using VolumeUp & VolumeDown and use the Home button to select.

Also got a problem with my phone after updating to froyo 2.2 and then trying to apply a lag fix. Phone starts and I get the flashing S logo then the screen goes blank. Phone occasionally vibrates. Trying the Button Press listed above I'm not getting any options on my screen.

Please invest some effort in trying to solve this yourself. Read posts like these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870233, there are many many posts which describe to flash stock roms with Odin

Mine is now 100% bricked with the Screenshot. Did get adb to see the phone and got recovery mode up, didn't know what to do next really with Odin not sure how that software operates or how to re-install files. So unplugged the phone and now after some research thought I'd have another go but oh no its got the logo on it now.

Look 2 posts up ("help me unbrick my Galaxy") and read about Odin. As long as you can get into recovery or download, your Galaxy is not bricked (more a matter of its owner being clueless)

Can't get into download or recovery mode, phone only has that image of the phone computer and exclamation mark now. Odin can't see phone if I connect it to PC. ADB can't locate the device either. Mine is totally bricked.

Wish I hadn't bothered with the upgrade to Froyo 2.2, my phone was operating okay on 2.1. Guess I'll have to call T Mobile in the morning to arrange for a repair/replacement of this handset.
