My samsung i5500 wont boot normally so I want to try booting it into recovery and reseting it. Ive tried power, centre key and volume down. which I thought was the recovery combination but it just comes up with an icon saying downloading and does nothing.
If anyone else knows a recovery combination or another way to fix it please comment
according to a post here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-781149.html
It's the volume down, then center key, then power. Make sure your not letting go after pressing them in that order... Order is important if you were doing power, center then volume down it will not work in that order.
I'm also trying to get into recovery mode to clear the dalvik cache and I'm stuck on the same downloading screen. I connected the usb cable, waited 5 minutes, started kies, waited 5 more minutes. What needs to be done on the downloading screen?
me to any help here

You will need fastboot and recovery.img to boot into recovery in order to perform a factory reset.

There is no key combination for this device.
In order to get to Recovery you need to boot Android, enable USB Debug Mode. Then connect to PC via USB cable, open ADB and type "adb reboot recovery"
If you cant boot into Android you'll need to flash recovery with Odin and it'll boot into Recovery after flashing.
also if using CM7 you can choose to boot into recovery when restarting phone.
If there is a way to boot to Recovery from download mode please someone explain how.

On my GT-I5500M, after installing CWM via Odin, from powered-off state, I can press and hold Volume Down, Start Call, End Call (3 buttons simultaneously), hold 'em past the Samsung boot screen, and you eventually get into Recovery mode without going into Download mode. YMMV but it works for me.

Hi,
I have the same problem as the author of the topic, my galaxy GT-I5500 doesn't turn on, it's on an unlimited boot loop, i can enter on Downloading mode, but if i connect the phone to the computer, the computer doesn't recognize the phone (probably because of lack of driver's), so, i can't access ADB or Odin, or do anything, could you please help me ?
best regards!

Hello everyone! Here is my problem.
The home button of my gs2 is broken. I knew that some rom have the function that rebooting into recovery mode when power on.
But somehow, I need to boot into recovery mode when power off.
In addition, I've got a item which can help me get into odin mode when power off. The item in Chinese we call it "Wa mei shen qi"~
I would like to know is it able for me to boot into recovery mode with this? Or any other possible way for gs2 from power off state.
Thanks!

The "Item" you are talking about could be a USB Jig? As you already said: it will take you into download mode but not recovery mode.
I don't know what you mean to say by

Can you tell us why?
For a running device with USB debugging enabled you could run adb reboot recovery to boot into recovery mode. However this is for a running device, not for a device that is powered off.
I don't either fully understand what you're meaning by this.
But as far as i know the only way to access CWM when power off is Power+Home+VolUp, but then ofcourse i'm not a pro at this...yet there could be another way to access Recovery while power off which i haven't found out about.
I don't understand also why you must access Recovery while power off, in your situation (with the home butten broken) it would be easier to get ROM Manager. It has an option to reboot into Recovery mode. Or if you rooted with CF-Kernel, it come with a CWM app that let's you choose if you want to reboot normally, reboot into download mode or reboot into Recovery mode.
and if i may ask, what do you mean by Odin mode? Is it download mode?

Thanks for your informations.
The reason is that I flash a rom in Odin mode, but after that I can't get powered on, it always remains in the starting animation.
I've been in this situation many times, for every time, a wipe data / factory reset in recovery mode will fix the problem. However the problem arises, for this time, my home button is broken.
And I've tried a lot of other roms from Odin mode, it still remains in the starting animation. So I really need a wipe in recovery mode badly.
The "item" may be the same with USB jig from your description.

Yes, for Odin mode, I mean the download mode.
The reason that I need to boot into recovery mode is given in #4. And thanks for your information , but I really need to boot into recovery mode to do a wipe data / factory reset to save my gs2.
boot into recovery/download mode
..so u have a bootloop & ur home-btn is broken..
am i right?
the jig would bring you to dowload mode
install via odin ur rom with repartition..
u will need a 3-parted rom
that should solve your problem..cause i think theres no way to come into the recovery mode if u have a bootloop
[email protected] said:
u can use an app to boot into recovery/download mode
just look at the marketplace which you prefer
- i use stweaks from sieya kernel
the jig would reset the counter and bring you to dowload mode

He can't boot, so that is no option for him unfortunately.
I believe adb can be used when the animation starts, haven't checked it. If so, simply do adb reboot recovery.

Yes, adb can be used during boot, but only if USB debugging was enabled before.

Umm~This may work if adb.exe can get connected with my phone in booting animation. I'll try it later.
You must press on button for a few seconds then click on reboot then take recovery.

you can also use an app called [ Anreboot.apk ] but you must have a root permission ok

I've tried this with adb tool in andriod development SDK.
However during the booting animation, even if Windows Device Manager detect Android ADB Interface, "adb devices" shows no adb connections.
Maybe the only way for me is finding a rom with auto wipe after flashing it by ODIN.
The only way you can get this fixed is get your phone-home button fixed in a samsung repair center ma8..
There's no other way you can go to recovery mode without the home button use...you can use th usb jig only to go into download mode!. Hope this helps.

He is simply not able to boot the device so how do you expect him to go into recovery with a broken home button?
So,
I was updating my SIII to Omega 44.2 from omega 44. I did a full wipe and it just hung there doing nothing........so I pulled the battery (I know, right :silly. Anyway I am now stuck on boot loop, I can't get into recovery as my Vol+ doesn't work. I can get into download mode, but can't continue due to not being able to use the Vol+.
If anyone knows a way around this, although I know it is highly unlikely.
Thank you in advance for the ear bashing I am about to recieve.:good:
You should open your phone and try to fix the volume button but you can also acces the download mode via adb reboot download and recovery mode via adb reboot recovery (this one is propably kinda useless since you dont have touch recovery) when you reach the download mode you can just flash stock firmware via odin
btw hit the thanks button if i helped you
AW: [Q] Bricked s3
To me it sounds like a case for service center repair. I'm not used to Usb jigs, but I assume they still need you to press the vol+ button to continue to download mode...

You should really try to fix the volume buttons . Be brave and open the device or else pay someone to fix the buttons nothing else

Great so heres guide to reach the recovery mode without hard buttons
1.Download adb and install adb drivers for your phone
2.Extract the files to your c directory in a folder named adb(creat one)
3.Once the files are located in c:\adb go to start menu then search for cmd
4.type in cd c:\adb then click enter
5.type in adb devices it will show the connected devices it should be bunch of numbers
6.if you cant see them it means adb drivers for your device are not installed correctly
7.Now you can reboot to the recovery mode (adb reboot recovery) or download mode (adb reboot download)
you can also use usb jig

Hello. Today i wanted to change my OS on my S3. So i have done it, i wanted to do some upgrades like viper4android. I have broken volume up, so the only way to get into recovery is in android only. So, I installed it, and i have bootloop. I cant boot to fastboot (volume up needed), and ofcourse recovery. I can see only bootloop... I just have to boot into recovery. How to do that? Help, please. Thanks.
Does adb recognize your device? If so
adb reboot recovery
If you don't have adb then go get them via Google

Well, i tried, but my phone isn't recognized on my pc. I just plug it into pc, and nothing. Tried on netbook, nothing . Dunno why. Its normal?
You have drivers installed?
I know this is an old thread, but I figured it'd be better to hijack it than create a new one.
A while back my phone started randomly freezing and rebooting, last week it just got into a bootloop instead, my volume up key isn't working, so I can't go into recovery-mode nor download-mode (since one has to press volume up to continue), I've tried to use adb, using a script to wait for a connection, then instantly freezing it so it can either send over a file or just boot into recovery, but it seems it doesn't boot up enough for a connection to start. I also tried removing my volume key and manually pressing the volume up key with both a toothpick and a screw-driver (just in case contact with metal would change the outcome), but didn't work. Has anyone found a solution?, Is there a way to boot into either recovery- or download-mode without the need to have the phone turned on first or using the volume up key?
So... My phone is stuck in bootloop after trying to flash stock recovery via Fastboot. I can't acces bootloader nor recovery. Is there any way to flash stock recovery without getting into bootloader? My PC recognizes the phone as MTP USB Device. I dunno why (it never done it before) but the phone powers off when disconnected from any power source. Please HEEEEEEEELP!!!:crying::crying:

Did you try to press volume down+ power button until you see bootloader mode , if you don't , I think you should definitely give it a try :fingers-crossed:
Hello,
I have just tried to flash my SAMSUNG A20e with TWRP trough ODIN.
I have put the phone in developer mode and did all the things acording to the tutorials. I rebooted through bootloader and tried to upload the TWRP file. At first, it didn't quite work - it always failed in ODIN. Then I tried one that finally worked (ver. 3.3.1-0) but when I tried to boot into TWRP it is just stuck on the loading screen with the TEAMWIN logo and thats it. I have tried to restart it, connect it back to the PC, get to the recovery, leave it for a long time ect., but nothing helped. I cannot even turn it off - when I press and hold the power button or power and volume up buttons together nothing happens. When I try to pres and hold power + volume down buttons it restarts and it gets back to the loading screen with the logo.
If you have any more questions let me know.
Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem can you help me please??
I suggest to flash a matching version of TWRP over the existing one.
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery <TWRP-IMAGE-NAME.img>
If this fails to boot into TWRP, try
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot boot <TWRP-IMAGE-NAME.img>
This should reboot the device into TWRP directly and from there you should be able to reboot to recovery again as this is is not a permanent TWRP.

I got the same issue...
There is no adb or fastboot connection when in TWRP splash...
The only solution in my mind is to wait for the battery to drain out and then boot into download mode (vol UP + vol DOWN + usb cable connect).
Will wait and report back
Edit: And BOOM! Done!
Downloaded official firmware, flashed via Odin and it's alive again!
I'm having a similar issue but I am unable to get to download mode or boot the phone, my computer doesn't connect to it in the current state it is in.
the phone has been recovered from this state but the person that did this is very busy now and doesn't get much time to hang out anymore, if I don't get an answer before I contact him ill update my post with a fix for anyone else that is having the same issue.
edit: ok so I feel like an idiot as my cable only did charging as I don't have my original cable so I found another cable and it was all good.
