- I tryed using ADB tools to boot it to "download mode" (from the "Android system recovery 3e") But it only reboots in "Android system recovery 3e" again.
- I tryed NVflash, but this doesnt recognize the phone when its in "Android system recovery 3e"

You can't do anything of use in stock recovery. You need a USB jig to force download mode

Update. ..... got a usb jig off trademe and this does not boot download mode. Seems like this device has no download mode.

[Q] ROOT Problems

I had a problem when trying to root my phone.
I followed all the instructions exactly, but after flashing the kernel with Odin and XWKDD_insecure.tar, then the phone rebooted, it showed the yellow sign and then went on a loading loop (just keeps showing the samsung and carrier logo)
It didn´t reboot back into its OS as it was supposed to.
How do I fix this?
I can turn it off and it shows the recharge icon (when rechargin).
I tried putting into download mode and that does not work, i get a screen saying:
android system recovery (3e)
with 4 options:
reboot system now
apply update from sd card
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
Also has a warning
# Manual Mode#
e:falied to mount /preload (no such file or directory)
e: install_application_for_customer: can´t mount/preload
You have to follow the instructions exactly . Do it again from the start .
I tried putting into download mode and that does not work, i get a screen saying:
android system recovery (3e)
PLEASE follow instruction you are putting the phone in recovery mode not download mode .
If a retry fails you will need to flash a new stock rom first .

Thanks for the quick reply
Problem is, when I used superoneclick the phone was in download mode, problem is now when I press volume+home+power it only goes to the mode android system recovery (3e) not download mode.
How can I flash the phone if I can´t get it back to download mode?
AS i said you are not following instructions .
DOWNLOAD MODE as posted.
HOLD Menu + Power + Volume DOWN down as in the bottom half of the volume button.
Instructions are not use super click in download mode phone should have rebooted .
jje
Thanks again, I did get it back to download mode an retried to use odin as instructed but again when the phone is supposed too boot, it just shows the yellow sign and then goes on a loop.
Can I use XWKDD_insecure.tar with the Korean version of the phone?

missed that
never mind...
3e would require a update zip from memory .
If you boot to recovery it will say update from xxx
I don't actually know what the update consists of on SGS3 tar zip or what format .

try pulling the battery out then put it back in. push both volume keys at the same time and plug in the usb cable. it took me a couple of attempts but it worked. if u still cant connect with odin, then just push both volume keys and press the power button. at the next screen push up volume then connect to usb. have odin already open and ready to start. if u need the stock firmware then follow this youtube video @
youtube.com/watch?v=aNb4CKSy5U8.
But you will have to download the firmware from sammobile site itself rather than using check fus downloader as it doesnt work.

[Q] Lenovo A390 flashing ROM, recovery issues

Hi there.
I tried to update a new ROM for my Lenovo A390. But sth was wrong with the phone I suppose. Firstly when I tried to start up with power button and vol+, firstly I got Android human logo with sth twisting next to its belly Then dead android humand with red exclamation mark showed up over. And nothing else happened.
When I was trying to flash custom room with Flash tool, the phone never answered to the 'call' from flash tool (after clicking 'Download' and connecting phone to PC - nothing happens ). So nothing could be done with Flash tool.
The next idea: I found some tips to use ADB and Fastboot. I had boot.img downloaded. It comes from 'A390_AllegroROM_v0.4a_SPFT'.
Then it went like this (in command prompt):
1.adb reboot-bootloader
2.fastboot flash boot boot.img
3. fastboot reboot.
answer for p.2 was OK, OK,
after p.3 as well
Now when try to switch phone on. It shows only lenovo logo and hangs up.
Is there a chance to get the phone working again?
After all this I discovered than when red ex. mark is being showed I can push power button and then I suppose recovery mode is shown?. But weird thing is I can not navigate through it. First option is set. It looks like:
Android system recovery <3e>
Android system recovery utility
Reboot system now(selected)
Apply sdcard: update.zip
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe cache Partition
(and below)
No .zip file in sdcard
So next idea was looking for 'lenovo a390 stock rom update.zip' file . I managed find sth (Lenovo_A390_Miui_Update.zip -> I changed to update.zip). I put it in root of sdcard, thinking that phone need this update.zip to do sth . Indeed, after switching into recovery mode (power + vol+) recovery mode looked similar but instead of 'No .zip file in sdcard' there was a few lines more:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Veryfing update package...
E: signature verification failed
Factory update failed.
Any suggestions? Do you think there is a chance to get the phone recovered ?

[Q] i8552 "CWM bootloop" after a reset...

Hi friends!
I'm having problems with my 8552 since that i've restored him with the Android "Format and restore" stock option. I'm using "Bionic Monkey rom" and in the tutorial the rom creator quote this text of XDA "Never click reboot recovery in advanced option in CWM Recovery it will cause bootloop or factory reset from phone settings do factoryreset from CWM Recovery,if by mistakenly u got bootloop just flashed CWM Recovery again. ( Remember this time Auto Reboot should be Checked )”
So... I don't remember but i think that option was used by me... :crying: And, now the 8552 always enter in CWM recovery and don't go to Android system.
And more... To enter in "download mode", is possible only if i choose this option in the Advanced Menu in the CWM, and still yet the Odin don't recognize them. :crying::crying::crying: The windows can't initiate the device. (code 10), e i'm using the same machine that i've installed the rom previously.
Somebody can help me? Any help is welcome!
And... Sorry my bad English, i don't like to use the translator, so i try of my way.
Try this,

Hi,
Try to flash CWM again with un-check Auto Reboot.
After finish flashing don't reboot device, remove usb cable then remove battery for a while then insert battery and restart your device again.
This work with my device.
You maybe have to remove battery for a while then insert battery then Vol down+Home+Power button to goto download mode.
