[Q] Recovery mode through PC - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I have a Samsung Galaxy S Plus where, after flashing CWM with Odin, and installing cm11, I don't know why,I'm stuck on an infinite boot animation. But that is not the big issue. I need to enter Recovery Mode, where I have a backup, but the problem is that my Volume Up button is not working, so I can't use the Power Button and Volume Up(I also don't know what could possibly wrong with it, if you could help me also with that, it would be awesome ) one to get there. So I was wondering if there is some other method to enter Recovery, I suppose by computer. I think that when I used Odin, the device restarted being in Download Mode, and I think that it hasn't to be On to do that. I hope I'm not wrong.
Thanks
And sorry if someone already asked that

[Q] Galaxy S I900 reboot loop

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum - looks wonderful!
Unfortunetly I got here with a big problem :
I've been trying to flash some ROM but it never succeeded.
When I start my phone I see the CM7 logo coming up, right after that I get a screen like its trying to install the ROM or somthing...few lines being written to a log looks like recovery mode and then the phone is rebooting again and this process happens again...infinite loop!
I cannot get my phone into download mode in any way..tried :
1) vol up/down/both + home + power
2) 301k ohm JIG between the 4th and 5th pins
Nothing helped, cannot see the phone in Odin when its rebooting like that.
Some history - I never been to download mod, but been to recovery.
I had CM7 installed before trying to flash this new ROM.
Any help would be appreciated, if its possible at all.
Thanks!
If yount wont come to download mode it is hsArd to belive you can fix this. As i wrote you also wont get into recovery mode.... are you sure your dooing it right there are lots of youtube vids out there. I have some issues too to get in download or recovery with my galaxy. You hav to stop press once you see the galaxy logo... if you get to recovery mode under advance you can boot to download mode...
Once you are there search a rom you can install over odin like darkys rom 9.2 i think.....
Otherwise bring it to samsung...
Cheers and good luck

[Q] How to restore from Nandroid Backup (fcked up my Galaxy S2)

So, today I rooted my new Galaxy S2 and installed CWM Recovery via Odin to install a custom rom. I found a rom and installed it but I didn't liked it so I was looking for CWM app in phone to go to recovery and rewrite it but I couldn't find it. I opened Odin again and installed CWM Recovery again (and than I f*cked up my phone ...) but after that phone didin't turned on it was just showing bootscreen img. I couldn't turn it on, but it was functional (when I plugged it to PC via USB screen showed that it's power upping (bad english :s)) and I was able to enter Odin Mode so i rewrited a different ROM ( I tought it would help) and it helped actually, but not fully. When I turned the phone on it loaded successfully but everything was very laggy and bugged and only 10-30% of apps was working (other "has stopped working"). I don't know anymore what to do, how to fix this sh*t... I tried to enter a recovery (vol down + power) and restore everything from Nandroid backup, but phone just turned on... Who could tell me how to fix it??? :S
P.S. Sorry for my bad english and I hope everyone could understand my msg, if now - just ask :|
EDIT: Fixed

lol its because i had a similar instance on a 7inch tab that seemed to have no recovery at all and the touchscreen had shifted about an inch left in responsive reaction and adb ,shell , and no hard reset method anywhere on the net... methods from all devices can incite ways to fix others eh?
i dont understand
Neither do I? This thread is how old? What are you looking for here?
I think I can clarify
The OP to this thread made the mistake of assuming that in order to do the restore to his original rom, that he needed the CWM app on the new rom. When really you just need to put the phone in recovery mode. (hold vol buttons and power buttons after phone is powered down). Obviously technique to do so is make/model specific. Or, as a previous post says, the mistake may have been not knowing which buttons to push properly to enter recovery mode. Either way, it is an easy mistake for someone new to make.
I made the same mistake when I did my first restore. I just thought it would be useful information in case someone else comes to this thread with the same problem.
Just to clarify - If you need to restore to a previous image that you backed up with CWM Rom Manager. Put the phone in recovery mode and the option is there. Don't look for the option in the ROM Manager application you used to create the back up image.

[Q] Help needed: galaxy young stuck in cwm loop

Hi all,
I need some help please.
I tried to root my sons galaxy young S6310N using a video on you tube
However at the 4.41 point I didnt have the yes- root option.
I themn rebooted and it went back into CWM recovery. v6.0.3.2
It's been stuck in this for 2 days now, I have searched everywhere for a solution but I'm lost now. I have information overload I think.
I have tried to install drivers through Kies but it won't recognise my phone in CWM recovery or in download mode.
I have tried to install a custom rom via sd card, it seems to work but reboots into CWM again.
I fear I may have made a mess of it now by messing around with things I know nothing about. I panicked really.
The phone was running jelly bean and is only a week old.
I can get adb but not sure how to use it properly.
Could someone please help?
Thanks in advance
sorted it myself
Hi, just in case anyone was interested I managed to sort this.
I put phone into download mode (holding vol - & menu & power) then pressed up at logo screen to enter download mode.
My pc then installed drivers automatically (something I had been struggling with in CWM recovery mode)
I then installed stock rom recovery.tar.md5 file using odin and the phone rebooted as normal.
I have given up trying to root it now, I may learn properly before attempting again, or may leave it.
Search for your device first before making a thread..!!

Good..but always use recovery for ur phone only..or make it for ur phone..
And do any changes in stock ROM after creating a BACKUP of the same..
ROOTING is not a difficult now-a-days but overcoming from the loss of time and data after BRICKING is so painful.
If you are not friendly with the commands and codes then use a software for that or follow up the WRITTEN guide..or use FARMAROOT app.
Head to thread...Thanks Mr. Bin4ry for this awesome method:
Rooting almost every phone
Enjoy..!!

[Q] S3 bricked? need some help

Yo guys well it eventually had to happen someday. Well i will try to explain what exactly happenend.
I had the Sensation 5 Rom on my device. which means i was on 4.4.2 the CWM recovery is 6.0.4.7
yesterday i decided to flash back to the Revolution HD Rom which is 4.3 if im not mistaken... i didnt change the cwm recovery.
There were no problems while flashing and the Revolution HD Rom was working fine until today when i decided to boot into recovery Mode.
(My hardware PowerButton is defect thats why i took it out of my phone so yeah there is no Power Button on my S3)
Because i cant use the 3 button combo to get into Recovery i used the App quick boot and used the App to boot into Recovery mode.
Now from there on my Problem begins. The Samsung Logo appears then the phone boots into Recovery but only for roughly 1 second.
The only thing i can see is the circle with a hat in the middle (the logo) and the cwm version on the bottom before the phone shuts down and everything starts again...its kind of a bootloop only going into recovery mode for 1 second and then starting a new.
Which mena si CANT use recovery Mode and i ALSO cant get into Download Mode somehow... ive tried holding the Volume down button and Home button and everything but i cant get the phone into download Mode so yeah phone is stuck in that Bootloop which i explained above.
Do u guys think that a Usb Jig from Amazon would actually work getting the Phone into Download Mode? or is it a lost cause and i should start looking for a new phone? ^^
i would appreciate any answers a lot !
No one who can help? :/

Try to use adb to boot to recovery/dowload mode if not use usb jig.

well if i try adb the device isnt shown as connected because well the phone restarts every 2-3 seconds.
If there is still any other way wich it could work without a usb jig that would be awesome
ive found a thread over google which said something about sp tools and scatter files....looked like it was possible to change the files of the phone while it was shut down....Does somebody on here know if this is possible?

Stuck at samsung logo! (volume down button not working.)

Hi. I'm new here, and I really need help!
It started today when I'm tired of a disaster lagging using android 5.1.1 rom on my Galaxy tab 10.1 (GT-P7500).
So, I decided to flash a stock rom to go back to honeycomb 3.2
And basically, a volume down button on my tablet is broken. so I won't be able to reboot in recovery mode.
I tried reboot in download mode by pressing power + volume up button but it won't work either.
Then I managed to reboot in download mode and use Odin to flash a rom by using adb cmd but I didn't boot to recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset first(I don't know if this has something to do with this problem.)
And that brought me to a dead end problem.. Stuck at the logo while booting up. :crying:
I don't really know what else to do or is there some hope with this situation. I plugged a usb to my pc while in logo screen and it showed up as SAMSUNG_Android so when I check by typing adb devices in command it's there but can't get it to work since adb required debugging mode.
I think I will probably end up order a new button for replacement but I feel like I should ask a professionals first.
