entering recovery mode should be put in the first page FAQ..

there is some batch out there suffering from entering recovery/download mode through the 3 button...

have your network connection ready (ie wifi or GPRS)
Setting > Account and sync > tap on ur gmail acc > menu button > sync

this will sync ur gmail contact , calander , gmail to your phone.

If it works, it does work very easily. I don't see why it can go wrong, especially after many attempts. I feel that the FAQ should provide quick tutorial to use ADB for affected units and also brick warning to these users.

Guys.. Im looking foward to buy samsung phone wave or sqs but still unable to decide which 1. but the biggest problem is i don't really know if samsung have a quality phone, for ur information i never had samsung phone before this. i like to know from user that have used samsung phone before, how is the quality and how long the phone life can be n also which 1 d best wave or sqs. Thanks!

The problem came back.

After a quick google, I find that its a common problem with this phone.

So far I have no hardware hiccups with the phone. Based on my previous experience with HTC devices, this SGS is made better.

Whats the current official Malaysian firmware? Might need to send the phone for warranty.

Did you unplug the cable without dismounting SGS from PC? I got that once because i did that.

pull down notification and dismount from there, dismount from PC doesn't work

No.

The phone wont start unless I connect them to USB first.
If I do that, the USB status will ALWAYS stay connected even when cable are removed.

This makes entering recovery almost impossible too, since USB cannot be connected while entering recovery.

I'm f***ed. I think I'll just unrooot it using OCLF and send it for warranty directly.

maybe is your firmware screw up? try go download mode and re-flash a brand new firmware?

Its official firmware. And based on the discussions, its a hardware issue.

im using odin to flash now,i click start and already 5 mins,the status still state file analysis,usually how long does it takes?
