[Q] SGS 2.1, Can't use recovery mode or download mode, and won't connect to kies!?

Hey all I have a SGS on 2.1 update 1, and the 3 button combos used to work to take mt to downloadmode/recovery mode and now for some reason I can't.

When I try connect to Kies it says 'connecting' forever on kies and 'connected' on my sgs...
I have tried to download ROM Manager to install clockwork mod, and it says its all worked but it never goes into it, even when I try to boot to clockwork from ROM Manager.
Also I am rooted - (z4root) and I have installed SU.

Not keen to do any physical changes on the phone like taking it apart. If a software fix is available that would be great?

can you get into download mode ?

Or look at building a rom in rom kitchin and flash via clockwork recovery from internal sd card .

If you can connect the phone to the computer in usb debug you could use the adb command....or get the quickboot app it has the download and recovery option in it

From what I read your phone is still working so there is no way you need a jig. If your phone is soft-bricked then yes you will probably need a jig.
