How to put Samsung Vibrant into Android System Recovery Mode?

I am trying to root my Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S phone but can not for the life of me get this thing into
Android System Recovery Mode. I’ve tried every combination of buttons, what do i do?

If you have trouble getting into recovery mode, chances are you are not holding down the power button log enough, or you are letting go of something too quick. By following this tips / tricks, you should have no problems to enter recovery mode:

1) START with your phone off

2) Press volume down AND volume up at same time, keep them pressed in the entire time, do NOT let go. I prefer to hold my phone in landscape, this gives me better control with my fingers.

3) WHILE holding down volume up and volume down, press and hold power button, DO NOT LET GO OF ANYTHING. You should be holding down volume up, volume down, and power, DON'T LET GO! HOLD ON… and proceed to next steps, don’t let go!

4) PHONE will start, you will see the white Vibrant logo. STILL DON'T LET GO, volume down, volume up, and power all pressed.

5) White Vibrant logo disappears, still don’t let go!

6) White Vibrant logo re-appears again for the second time. When the white vibrant logo appears the second time, let go of the power button, but keep holding down volume down and volume up.

7) Phone begins to enter recovery mode, you can let go finally.
To exit, select "reboot system now" and use your power button to select, you will exit recovery mode.

Good luck!

I want to buy a HTC phone. I could get an Android OS or Windows Mobile OS. What is the difference? Which one do you think is better?

Answer by Flying Pilot
Android is the new Linux based OS from Google.
Windows Mobile OS is the old Windows based OS from Microsoft.

Make your own choice — the Windows Mobile OS probably fits better currently for business applications, but my choice would probably be Android.

Both are mobile operating system. Difference is in their manufacturing companies. Android OS is a google product while Windows mobile OS is a Microsoft product.

window’s will be better.

The simplest answer to your question is this. A recent consumer survey asked smartphone users how satisfied they are with their phones, 56% of windows mobile users said they were very satisfied, while 77% of android users said they were very satisfied.

I’ve used both. I was a winmo user for many years, but simply couldn’t resist the droid when it came out. It simply blows windows mobile out of the water in every way. There is absolutely no advantage of winmo over android.
