Samsung Galaxy S not being seen in Explorer and will not Shut Down - Galaxy S I9000 General

I have a Samsung Galaxy S (i9000). If I connect it to PC, I can see it is charging but I can not see the phone nor in Explorer or Download Mode.
The phone is using [NIGHTLY][ROM][4.2.1] CyanogenMod 10.1 for Samsung Galaxy S and I have installed it via CWM. No matter what ROm I installed via CWM, I could not see the phone in Explorer.
Another problem I encountered is that the phone can not be shut down: if I choose Shut Down it is restarting.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Are you on windows 8?
Install the newest USB-Driver in Windows-7-Compatibility-Mode. If you are not on windows 8 it could help anyway.

Another solution for accesing your phone would be Airdroid on Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5zYW5kLmFpcmRyb2lkIl0.
I would try to reflash your rom to solve your other problem.

I am using Windows 7.
I want to access Download Mode in order to change the ROM with ODIN.
I do not know how to reflash it. Can you provide me more details?
Thank you.

Save your Data and make a backup before doing anything.
First of all try to go to recovery wipe chache + dalvik + fix permissions reboot
Factory-Reset would be next to try.
If wiping does not help:
Solution 1 - Odin:
Access Download Mode over Powermenu -> Bootloader
or with shutdown (in your case press power ~8 seconds or remove battery), press volume-down + home + power than flash a rom with Odin.
Solution 2 Download your prefered rom copy the zip-File to your phone and flash it through recovery (same way you installed CM 10.1). Wipe cache + dalvik in recovery.
HOWTO GET INTO RECOVERY:
- Turn off your Phone
- Hold VOLUME UP + HOME Buttons
- While holding VOLUME UP + HOME Buttons press POWER Button until Display lights up, then release only POWER Button
- Still hold VOLUME UP + HOME until you got into Recovery
- Release all Buttons
------------------------------------------------------------------
HOWTO GET INTO DOWNLOAD-MODE (Bootloader):
- Turn off your Phone
- Hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons
- While holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons press POWER Button until you reach Download-Mode
- Release all Buttons

Thank you for answering my question, but I already did all of above. Even so, the problem is that my phone can not be seen in Download Mode.

But you managed to install a working rom?
Tried with another usb-cabel, computer or usb-port?
Perhaps this helps, although i never used Mobile Odin.

[Solved-Q] Must be a moron, but I just can't get vol+/power-button to CWM-R to work

This is a painful message to write, but I am desparate. This should be so simple!
Have a U8800 standard (at least it says only "U8800" in settings/about phone.
What have I done:
- Upgraded some time ago to 2.3.5 Rev B522 from Huawei.
- Then rooted it with SuperOneClick.
- Installed ClockWorkMod from Play Store.
- Downloaded CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4 stable from xda and placed the file into the /.cust-backup/image folder via Remount.
- Turned off Fast boot under settings/applications
:: What worked/happened.
- Rooting went fine, ES file explorer and others get root-permissions ok.
- But got into CWMRecovery only via CWM program (Choosing "Reboot into recovery"). Never with the holding buttons vol+ and power-button during power-on.
Figured it was that locked bootloader on B522 that was the problem.
What I did:
- Followed the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457490 (Get your pink screen back).
- In CWM Recovery flashed "update-B518-bootloader.zip".
- Got "ok installed or something to that effect" from CWM Recovery.
:: What worked/happened.
- Still could not get into CWMRecovery via button-holding. Tried reflashing the B518 bootloader a few times, but just no difference.
Read somewhere that each Huawei firmware-release comes with it's own bootloader, so lets try to install Huawei B518.
- Only place I could find the image was here http://huaweiideosx5.blogspot.no/2012/03/u8800-b518-23-software.html
- U8800V100R001C00B518G001.zip
- Had to take out the external SD-card to get the /sdcard/dload directory on the internal SD-card.
-Seems to be important to have dload on the internal SD-card and not the external.
- Booting the phone with vol+, vol-, power did not start the downgrade, but was able to trigger it via settings/storage/software upgrade.
After downgrade to B518 (Checked version in settings/about phone):
- Deleted /sdcard/dload directory.
- Rooted with SuperOneClick
- Installed ClockWorkMod from play store again.
- Put CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4 into ./cust_backup/image again (think this was unecessary. I think it was already there but did it anyways)
- Turned off Fast boot under settings/applications.
:: What worked/happened.
- The phone is now in B518 software, but still can not get into CWM Recovery via keypressing at boot.
I hold the vol+ and power-buttons all the way to "desktop" so to say, but can not for the life of me get into CWM Recovery that way. Getting into CWM recovery 5.5.0.4 via instructing CWM application to boot into recovery works fine, though.
I am drooling at the thought of ICS Aurora, but I don't dare before I can reliably get into CWM Recovery via keypress.
Sorry if this is very stupid post, but I have tried so much.
Maybe the volume buttons are faulty? Turn off the phone and try this: hold down volume up; while holding press power button as long as the logo comes up. Release power button but continue holding volume up. If it did not work, try doing same with volume down.
Yeah, do what Blefish advised you but do it while the phone is off and charging. I have a kinda broken power key and with this 'trick' it boots faster and more reliable. Keep holding the 3 buttons until you see the recovery.
Sent from my U8800
Thank you both for trying to help me here!
Unfortunately I have had no luck with your suggestions.
Re: Broken keys.
Power and volume-buttons seems to work well when the phone is on. Also when I boot into recovery through the CWM program, navigate to advanced/key-test, the vol+, vol- and power button seems to work well there too.
On pressing the power-button, CWM-R reports Key: 116
On pressing the vol+-button, CWM-R reports Key: 115
On pressing the vol--button, CWM-R reports Key: 114
So I think the keys must be ok, right?
Blefish: I did what you suggested, as I understood it.
When the phone boots, there are three stages of logos.
1. A static logo of Huawei's red "fan?".
2. A short "comet" animation.
3. An animated logo of Huawei's "fan", where some highlight flashes from left to right over the fan.
I hold the power-button in until I see the first static logo, then let go of the power-button and hold the volume-key(s).
Is this the same stage in the boot-process that you were thinking of?
I have tried vol+, vol- and both vol+ and vol-, together with releasing the power-button at that point.
Have not had any success with that, and ended on the "desktop" each time.
AceDroidX: I tried your suggestion as well.
I did this:
1. Shut down the telephone
2. Plugged in the power.
3. A "fan"-logo appears which is replaced by an animated battery.
4. Upon seeing the animated battery, I tried the various key-hold variants.
- vol+ and power : Ended up at desktop.
- vol- and power : Ended up at desktop.
- vol+ and vol- and power : Ended up at desktop.
So not much success either.
I am out of ideas... Can it be that B522 bootloader that still lingers in there, not replaced by installing the B518 software?
Well, idk what else to suggest.. Maybe your problem is here?
Downloaded CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4 stable from xda and placed the file into the /.cust-backup/image folder via Remount.

I remember that when i mount my phone in linux, there was a partition with just the image folder. Some files like boot.img and recovery.img where there. Try to put the recovery image in there and see if it makes any difference.
I'd like see your versioninfo, can you upload a screenshot?
You can check mine from B528
AceDroidX: When I use Remount, I am able to mount that partition as read/write so that I can copy CWM's Recovery image in there. I think it is identical as mounting it up remotely, as you do. I am after all able to boot into CWM-Recovery, just not by key-pressing? I suppose I could boot into Linux and try to mount up the partitions as you do.
Hi kilroystyx: I can not figure out where to find a similar-looking page as the one you have in your picture.
I have the settings/about phone, if that is an older version of what you have there?

Based on the screenshots your installation is fine.
Just one last shoot based on what AceDroidX says, with phone off press Vol+ and hold then connect USB cable to PC or charger and stay holding Vol+ then wait...wait and what you see?
hi all,
i'm using some ics roms and it seems ics supports natively vol++power button to take screenshots but it doesnt work for me... do you know if there are some custom ics rom where it will work?
thank you
Wow.. It is hard to believe.. but I have actually ... eventually found a way to get into that CWM-Recovery every time.
It is a combination of your suggestions.
I have been doing variations, trying to figure something out and eventually there is a method.
What I must do, on this phone, in order to get into CWM-R is this:
1. If the charging cable is in, then unplug first.
2. Turn the phone off.
3. Take out the battery and put it back in.
- This makes a difference on my phone, at least. I am not able to get into CWM-R wihtout taking the battery out first.
4. Press and hold Vol+
5. With Vol+ being pressed continously, insert the charging-cable.
6. Wait for the Fan-animation to finish and the "battery-charging" animation to start.
7. When the battery-charging animation is running and the screen eventually goes black, keep holding the Vol+ button for some time.
- Sometimes it works to keep holding the Vol+ button for only a second or two. Sometimes I must hold it up to 30 seconds.
7. Press and hold the power-button in addition to the Vol+
8. Wait for CWM-Recovery to start.
Thank you very much for your help.
Now I think I can try for ICS!

first of all - never, but never delete/wipe your internal storage...
second - and i've wrote this many times already:
to turn the device completely off
- your usb cable must be disconnected
- have the device charged for more than 50%
- press pwr button for more than 10 seconds
- at some point, LG logo will show - DO NOT LET THE PWR BUTTON OFF - KEEP IT PRESSED
- only then the device will be powered off completely with the black screen
THANK YOU!! you are awesome.. I misunderstood and i thought that i should wipe everything.. What do it do now?

now you find the thread on how to transfer a rom to a device directly from twrp or adb... or how to flash KDZ stock (then reroot and go from scratch)
i've never done it because i've never messed up anything on my device (my luck) - so i don't know in details - but there are threads on this subjects...
btw one more thing i've noticed in your 1st post - you had an .img rom file
you can't flash .img in twrp - you'll need the rom .zip file...
how do i access TWRP?
search on which button combination to press to enter twrp... (but before you try the key combinations - have the device powered off completely as described above)
on my device and 20h bootloader its
- press and hold pwr button + volume down
- lg logo shows (let the buttons go for a second or less)
- quickly press and hold pwr button + volume up
that works on my device...
you probably have older bootloader (20a) so you can try
- press and hold pwr button + volume down
- lg logo shows (let the buttons go for a second or less)
- quickly press and hold pwr button + volume down again
now - if you have TWRP installed - it will show you a white screen (factory reset) with yes/or no buttons - just answer YES to all and it will boot to TWRP (you answer with volume up/down keys for selection and pwr button to confirm)
if nothing of that works - try searching for other key combos... but afaik those are the only two that exist - depending on bootloader...

Returning Note 3 to factory stock

After a few years of sitting dormant, I found my Note 3 in a drawer a few days ago (thought i sold it on Swappa) ...
I used what I thought was the correct process to return it to stock:
- Turn off device
- Simultaneously hold VOL UP, HOME, POWER
- Release POWER when you see the Note 3 logo
- Release VOL UP & HOME when you see the System Recovery screen
- VOL UP after warning
- Using VOL DOWN choose WIPE DATA / FACTORY RESET
- Select using POWER button
- Using VOL DOWN choose "Delete ALL User Data"
- Select with POWER button
- Highlight REBOOT SYSTEM
- Select REBOOT SYSTEM NOW using POWER button
Upon reboot, the device went to the fresh set up screen (choose language, connect to wifif, etc) but Safestrap and Alliance Rom were still installed.
So I am wondering what the correct OR updated way to return to stock is, or where that can be found, as the few I have found haven't worked, and it's been SO LONG since I ran the Note 3, I honestly don't remember much about it at all.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Did u get the solution?
If yes, how did u do it?
Otherwise u have to hold volume down + home button then press power button, release all n PES's volume up to enter download mode, at that state u have to connect to the computer & flash firmware via Odin

I bricked my phone. no twrp, no download mode.

I was trying to install a custom rom. I had unlocked bootloader and twrp already set up then installed ultimate Q then installed Evolution X 4.0. everything went fine until i rebooted it. Now phone doesn't start if i hold the power button. only response if I hold "vol down + power" then the screen turns on. If i try to "vol up + power" it doesn't boot into twrp. Download mode doesn't work either (I cant get to it).
This video (youtub/watch?v=Rc1Lvihyp8c) shows the guy using some sort of usb attachment. Is there a software equvalent of that which i can use my pc to reset the phone?
Any way to get it to flash twrp again?

To go to download mode
Normal method
1. Turn off phone
2. Hold down both volume keys
3. Plug in computer
Bootlooping
1. Plug in to computer
2. Hold down both volume keys
For a difficult phone
1. Connect usb to computer but not to phone
2. Hold down all 3 keys
3. When it buzzes release power and quickly plug in usb to phone.
It might take a few times to get it right.
If it's REALLY BAD
1. Wait for the battery to completely run down and use normal method.
