[Q] Can't Get Into Download Mode - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hi guys, I'm in the process of installing CM 10.0.0 on my at&t galaxy note as per Quincyatt Info on Cyanogenmod wiki. I'm having trouble pushing the cm.zip onto my sdcard via adb. When I try to get into download mode in order to put zip with cyanogenmod on my sdcard I get a screen that says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
The play by play is:
1) boot phone by holding Volume Down while plugging in microUSB.
2) Receive "Warning!! A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications..."
3) press Volume Up to continue to download mode
4) screen goes to "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
The steps I followed on the wiki:
1) Get and setup Heimdall Suite 1.4RC2
2) Flash ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.3.1-quincyatt onto my phone
3) I powered off
PS when I try to "adb push cm-10.0.0-quincyatt.zip /sdcard/" I get "error: device not found," which I assume is because my phone, while plugged in, is not in download mode.
PPS When I try to go directly into CWM with volume up + volume down + lock/power it takes me to the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.."

i had this same issue about a month ago...
-
I booted my phone to this message: Warning!! A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications...
Then plugged the usb cable to my phone and ran Odin.and flashed with pda.tar file
Then rebooted the phone and my phone was able to get to download mode.

Yep. Thanks!
For the record:
I used Odin to flash a stock I717 kernel (provided by da___g) and then proceeded with the cyanogenmod wiki's instructions. In order for my computer to see my phone so it could push files via adb I had to be in ClockWorkMod. My phone was non-functional (could only go into download/recovery mode and CWM) until I flashed CM10 with CWM.

Why push a zip file with adb? Just put it on your sd card by data cable or by mailing it to yourself or by download.
But then you have to be able to get into recovery. . .

[Q] Recovery on Galaxy 10.1

Anyone know of a way to get into recovery mode (botton combo, one-click, etc.) on the 10.1 tab without having android sdk and adb installed on my PC? I am not new at flashing files in recovery mode, but going through help files/instructions on adk is a bit overwhelming.
I have the root zip file on my tab, I just need to get into recovery mode to flash it.
Thanks in advance...
It isn't possible without adb on a non-rooted device. You can attempt to boot into recovery mode by holding power and volume down on start up and selecting the android guy with "downloading" but it will say: "waiting for usb" and hang there. I was attempting to do this the other night.
Getting into recovery is dead simple though once you have adb going. Go to the android development section and go to rooting your tablet. Download the drivers > connect to the computer > run adb in command prompt once you have your sdk installed > then if you have your drivers fully installed and usb debugging mode is on just type in command prompt "adb reboot recovery" and it will send you directly to recovery mode to flash any zip file you please.
Thx, Really wish someone had a one-click option, I guess i'll just have to jump in
I've been trying to boot into recovery for a while now, but with no luck. I installed the full SDK platform, and the Manager app downloaded and installed all the available packages (took forever). The 'push' command seemed to work fine, and when I do "adb reboot recovery" the tablet reboots, but just goes into the battery charging screen. Any idea why this might be happening, and what I can do to get into recovery?

The mode that says "downloading" is not recovery mode. Just select the one on the left and you will get into stock recovery mode (unless you already have Clockwork installed).

I managed to do that, but it wouldn't show anything on my '/sdcard' directory, even when I renamed the root package to "update.zip"
In red, it says "E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]" Not sure if I'm getting into real, stock recovery, or what - seems crazy that stock wouldn't be able to access its own sdcard directory.
Battery not recovery mode
I am in a similar situation, when I use adb to run recovery mode it sends me to teh battery charging screen. With the exception of that they only other things I can do are to hold power and vol to get option of using Fastboot or ODIN. I do not have any options ever to chose to go into recovery mode. Anyone know why this may be? I am running 3.1 IO version.
Thanks
You will need fastboot and recovery.img to boot into recovery in order to perform a factory reset.
Installing the sdk works best, as drivers needed are acquired from the process! ELse there are extracted contents available on net including just the drivers, adb (and fastboot!)

I don't think the stock retail recovery is capable of flashing off SD storage. That's why the current rooting methods have you first flash either I/O recovery or a custom recovery.

The manual says to press the power and UP VOL button to get into recovery mode for update flash or wipe data ..
Pressing power and DOWN VOL enters fastboot mode

Go ahead and let know if you are able to enter recovery with the keys combination and wipe or factory reset the device, according to manual. Did not work for me, am on 3.1 honeycomb i/o galaxy tab 10.1 and many others.

Use the quick boot app. Works well for me. Supports power off, recovery, and normal reboot for the free version. Oh yeah but that requires root.

[Q] Installing CWM Recovery with Heimdall

Hello there,
I am trying to install CWM Recovery with Heimdall on my phone (GT-I9300) following the Cyanogenmod tutorial available on wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Install_CM_for_i9300
All went fine during the process to flash the phone with the recovery image, however when I start the phone using volume up, home button and power button simultaneously, it starts on the stock recovery software.
I am using Win 7 with heimdall and I followed exactly the steps described at wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Install_CM_for_i9300
I also did another try with a more recent image of CWM without anymore success. You will find attached the heimdall log in the cmd console.
As suggested in the tutorial I did not root my phone.
Did I miss a step to launch the CWM instead of the stock recovery tool or did I do something wrong ?
Thank you in advance for your help !
You need to boot into Download mode, not recovery. In the guide you linked to it says:
Boot the Galaxy S III into download mode by holding down Home & Volume Down & Power while connecting via USB.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thank you for your response !
In fact I already did that step and I had no problem with it.
Sorry if I was no clear enough.
Here is what I have done exactly :
1) Download koush's ClockworkMod Recovery, and the Heimdall Suite (for windows)
2) Power off the Galaxy S III and connect the USB adapter to the computer but not to the Galaxy S III
3) Boot the Galaxy S III into download mode by holding down Home & Volume Down & Power while connecting via USB
4) Untar koush's ClockworkMod Recovery into the Heimdall directory
5) On the computer, open a terminal and run the following command from the Heimdall directory: heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img
7) A blue transfer bar will appear on the device showing the recovery being transferred. Once completed, the device will reboot automatically.
8) The Galaxy S III now has ClockworkMod Recovery installed. Continue to the next section.
So according to the tutorial ClockworkMod Recovery should be installed. But when I try to boot the phone using CWM, the phone boot in the stock recovery mode. Indeed in the recovery mode, at the top of the screen it is written "Android system recovery <3e>" instead of something like "ClockworkMod Recovery". Moreover in this recovery mode I do not have the option "Install zip from sdcard".
Sorry, I misunderstood you. Don't know the solution, wait for someone more qualified
Use Odin and flash the recovery.
Edit- Check this- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
Ok thanks you it works.
I had to uninstall the driver installed by Heimdall for Odin to detect the phone. Except that all was ok.
However, it would have been great to be able to put CWM Recovery on the phone without rooting it !

You can do that by following this guide

But why?
I didn't want to root the phone only because I don't need the root access!

OTA Update turned Galaxy Pocket Boot Loop

Help Please?
I had my Galaxy Pocket rooted and got the Jellyblast v3 rom, it was doin fine until I checked on the app OTA and check for update, a new update appeared which is the Nemesis 2.5 Hybrid-Holo Editon. It asked me to download it and so I did. When it was done, it asked me if I wanted to install it and so I did, and rebooted. Later I noticed that it was already boot looping. I tried pulling the battery off and to clockwork mode, with the proper procedure..the holds and presses, but still it just kept boot looping. Tried to connect it to the PC using the USB chord and yet it just shows the charging icon and sooner it turns to white. I tried Kies but still it turned white screen all over again; no device found.
Can someone PLEASE help me with this one? PLEASE, PLEASE guys? I know you guys are knowledgable on these kind of issues. :crying:

I also received the same message and downloaded the update file. when ask to Reboot & Install i selected install the device booted in CWM and i selected update from .zip and selected the downloaded file in OTA Download Folder.
The update was successful, yet the ROM looks in BETA version.
Following are the issues i am currently facing in the updated ROM
1. Gallery ICS was Force Closed, later it was solved via uninstalling update.
2. Quick Panel, Nemesis Hub, Nemesis Owner Info & Nemesis Sound Boosters are giving FC messages.
3. OTA is giving INVALID ROM Message while updating.
I´m having the same issues.
After downloading and installing the OTA update, my device is keep stucking in the boot loop.
When I do to the recovery, I always get automatic update with the update.zip, which means I can't get into the full recovery to select another functional image.
Well I hope it's not bricked. Is there a sollution?
Thanks
I have repaired that throught ODIN MODE, like described here:

For all the SGY Users who are facing issues after updating Jellyblast 3.5 to Nemesis (I faced it too) here is the guide to recover your phone:-
First to repair your phone you have to flash stock rom via odin .
Here's the guide for Flashing Stock Rom via Odin
Requirement: 1. A Samsung Galaxy y phone model gt-s5360.
2. A computer running on windows xp, vista, win7 or win8 with proper USB driver installed to connect your phone to computer {If you have not installed USB Driver for Samsung Galaxy Y then to Install USB Driver}
3. Stock Rom file : you can download stock rom according to your choice and region from the xda thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465800e
4. download ODIN: 1 .85.(google it as i cannot post outside links)
Installation Instruction : [ Charge your phone battery min 80%]
1. Download the required file Odin AND Stock Rom. zip and place in a folder on your desktop .
2. Now extract both with any file extractor.-- Odin v1 .85 .zip and the stock rom zip( file which contains the stock rom i. e 2 .3 .6 )
After that extract Stock Rom file after unzipping you will get three files :
PDA _S5360 _DDLK2.tar,
MODEM_ S5360 _DDLK2.tar &
CSC_S 5360 _DDLK2 .tar
3. Now turn off your Galaxy Y {Remove the battery for 5 -10 seconds and insert it back }
4. Go to Download Mode by Pressing Volume down + Home + Power for 5- 10 sec to boot in Download Mode
5. Now you entered in Download mode select continue by pressing Volume up button .
6. Now attach/ connect your phone to computer via USB cable .
7. Now on your computer open Odin v 1 .85. exe
8.Now make sure you are getting yellow box in ID:COM ( this means that your device is now connected and detected by odin )
9.Now Select those 3 files u download before
PIT - "totoro_0623.pit"
BOOTLOADER - "BOOT" file.
PDA - "PDA" file.
PHONE - "MODEM" file.
CSC - "GT-s5360- MULTI-CSC" file.
10.Now clik on start .
And let be ODIN do its work and wait till you see PASS in green colour it mean the flashing process is complete successfully . Samsung
11.Remove your phone from pc 12.Galaxy Y will auto reboot .
Now if you want to install nemesis Rom, you have to install the nemesis Rom 2.0 (Nemesis Titanium) first and than you should update the Rom by downloading the update file via OTA and flashing the zip file through CWM.
I hope my suggestion will solve your problem.
Did you wipe data and wipe catch before installing ROM??
Did you try flashing original ROM with Odin or others??

TWRP not able to recognize/mount SD card content to install root.zip

Hello...I use a Samsung S Advance GT-I9070
Recently I tried to root it by copying root.zip , update.zip and TWRP file into the external SD card by connecting it to my PC.
Then I tried to install root.zip file using stock recovery I was facing this error "E: signature verification failed" every time I did it.
Then I tried to flash CWM via odin3 by putting my phone on download mode and connecting it to PC but after pressing stat in odin3..I got an error that the process failed. I tried 2 more times and still the process failed.
Then I thought of rebooting my phone but I was getting this message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again" so I tried kies to recover it but it wasn't working.
So then I put the phone again in download mode connected it to PC and then used odin3 to flash TWRP and the process was successful and the phone got recovered.
But the MAIN PROBLEM is that when I tried to put phone into TWRP recovery mode and install the root.zip file it's not showing me the contents of SD card. I tried to weep the phone do the factory reset and then try and it is still not working.
PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM....I'll be very thankful to you!
PS: Basically I want to root my phone and install cyanogenmod 11 to get android 4.4 kitkat in my phone.
