Booting to recovery with button combination not working

So, after trying out a few firmwares (JM2, JG8, JM5) and kernels (Samset&OC) I can't no longer boot to recovery with Vol UP + Home + power. I can't really say when this problem first occurred, but maybe with JG8 flash. The strange thing is that I can get to recovery with adb reboot recovery and through android console with reboot recovery (when rooted ofc). Also download mode works great.
Things I have tried:
-flash again to JM2 and JM5 with re-partition checked (512 PIT)
-cleared cache+data through recovery
-factory reset through phone code (this also cleared the internal SD)
-took out the battery multiple times
-booted phone without sim
-flashed phone without sim
-changed CSC with phone code
-restore a nandroid backup of JM2. Recovery worked with this one when I took the backup
-there's no external flash card inserted
Soooo..does anyone have any idea about this kind of problem?

i had a similar problem after trying few ROMs. In my case, when i pres the key combi i get the boot logo and then few seconds later the screen goes black and then i see the boot logo again, and this goes forever. and then i tried pressing the same key combination simultaneously and once i see the boot logo i let go the power button and keep the vol up and home pressed, and then only it went into the recovery mode.
hope it works the same for you
Cheers

Agreed, 99.9% chance you are doing it wrong.

mmthabet: I had the exact same experience. Letting go of the power button when the logo appears lets me enter recovery.

or you may need to take out the battery first for a few seconds... after that, you can reinsert it back and try recovery mode...
at least this work for me...

Thanks for replies but none of the solutions work. The recovery mode button combination DID work for a few weeks, but then just stopped working.
I know that I'm doing it right. I have always pressed vol up and home down until the phone loaded recovery and only briefly pressed power button just at the start. I have also tried to remove battery multiple times and once waited 30 mins before re-inserting it.
Trust me, I'm not doing it wrong :s And recovery is working great through adb reboot recovery and shell.

More so a timing issue. Buttons not pressed at the same time.
I get it all the time for all combo's.
Just keep trying.

You might already have this however just in case you dont, check out Quick Boot.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.siriusapplications.quickboot
With this app you can boot into recovery mode. Have to be rooted though.

this wont work, if you bricked the phone in a bad flash situation.
in times when this app works, you can easily do adb reboot recover
so this app still doesn't address the real issue of how to get the 3 buttons press hardware recovery mode

I release the buttons right when the first Samsung texts comes on the screen. It will take it to Recovery mode. I also had a "boot loop" few times, if I keep pressing the buttons all the time.
Have you tried release your fingers right in the first texts? I really don`t know what is exactly the right way to press the buttons, but this always have took it to Recovery.

Looks like my latest full wipe with *2767*3855# cured it. Flashed JM5-->full wipe-->samset1.9b-->samset kernel and now it works. It must've got stuck somehow in my previous JM5 installation.

I cant get into the download- or recovery-mode by using these keys... so i am not able to flash a new firmware! can anybody help me please? is there a chance to get into the download mode by using an adb-command?

yes
adb reboot download
but it is dangerous, as you can not recover from a bricked state, if your flash is not compatible or if something went wrong with odin, etc.

I you're bricked and can't get into Download or recovery mode, leave the device to boot, it will just show a black screen for a while then will turn its self off, once this happens you should be able to use the key combo.

Any idea how long you waited? Been waiting 5 minutes, hasn't shut off. Mine's a Bell though so I'm guessing I won't have any luck.

The way i do it (no chance of doing it wrong and timing):
hold down+home and then also press the power button for a little more then 10 seconds (so all 3 buttons for 10 seconds). The phone will reset into download mode, never fails in whatever mode the phone originaly was..

My sasmung w Wont Turn On

I have a Samsung W which is not rooted, with Stock Rom as i bought it. Everything was ok until yesterday. I put it in my pocket and the phone was Suddenly turned off. Since then the phone won't turn on except that the screen sometimes flashes when pushing numerous times the power button.
When i press the Vol+ + Center Button + Power Button to enter Recovery mode nothing happens.
I will charge it overnight to see if something changes tomorrow.
Need Help please!
Finally Turned it on, But Samsung Kies and ODIN seem not to working at all. Samsung Kies stacks at "Connectind" & ODIN detecs the phone successfully, but when the phone restarts it won't turn on, i have to remove battery and Open it in Download mode again.

Try to enter download mode press vol down + home+ power button if you can enter download mode flash it with odin
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda app-developers app

maybe the power button has the problem.

I disassembled the phone and the power button is working fine. I can't enter Dwonload Mode. the phone won't turn on at all :/

Since it is not flashed / rooted & with stock rom, just sent in to a service center, it's the safest thing to do right now i think.
After that you can do with it what you want

Hello! I cant sent it to a service center as it has a big mark on the top of it and they will ask me to pay in order to fix it. I finally Managed to Turn it on in DOWNLOAD MODE. I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467128 this thread with ODIN and Samsung KIES. Samsung KIES stacks at "Connecting". ODIN detects the phone, downloads data , but when the phone restarts is dead. I have to remove battery and turn it on in Downloading Mode

What 'big mark' making it cannot be sent back to Samsung lol? Maybe you should install CWM and do a full wipe first before you flashed the ROM with Odin (anyway sending it back to Samsung will still be the best solution as you may accidentally void the warranty when you are trying to fix it)

Well, i believe for ODIN to work first u have to kill Kies Process using the Task manager or you will get some conflict between the two.
Also, if your phone has a scratch on top of it, then your fine. However, if it has a big DENT or if it is broken somewhere, then they will probably assume it was a problem due to a fall or something. However you can always try and send it to the service center and they will probably sort it out or replace your phone as a last resort (even if it has a scratch on it xD).

[Q] can`t access recovery mode

I can`t get the phone in recovery mode.
Here is the issue:
Running Jedi mind trick rom three weeks. One day the phone restarted and got stuck in the boot screen.
The phone restarted and eventually keeps vibrating without display
After trying many times i did got in recovery mode so i could install the rom again (using darkside super wipe and then the rom). After one day it crashed again and again i installed an different rom which also crashed after several hours.
Now i can`t even get to download mode, Is this hardware related or do i need to use an usb jig to get this working again?

Does your phone screen turn on and at least show the Samsung logo? If not, and you said button combo presses do not work using a USB Jig will be your way to go to get back in to download mode.
By the way, did you flash the correct ROMs specifically for our phones? You shouldn't have experienced and crashes. Also, for the vibrating issue without the display, it had been mentioned that it could also be due to a stuck/dirty power button. If you can try, clean up around it.

Yes it does show the samsung logo at starting up but after that it turns off with 1-2 seconds vibrating intervals.
I already cleaned the power button but without any satisfaction.
I did dropped the phone monday but not from a great heigth.
estimated: 1mtr above ground

Yes i did. I used the guides from galaxy2root.com

Well, if you were able to use a USB Jig to get into 'Download mode', get a stock ROM from here and flash it through Odin which is also included in the link. Good luck!

[Q] T-Mobile Note 3 stuck in a auto-restarting, recovery bootloop

Hello, I am new to these forums. I mostly registered for this one specific problem.
I'm pretty sure the phone isn't hardbricked, but I tried rooting my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 (4G LTE version) with Klingo. After that, it said the root was successful and the phone immediately restarted itself. However, it was then stuck in a bootloop and it just kept restarting itself. The phone turns on, and then the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" logo appears with "RECOVERY....." in blue in the top left corner, and directly under that it says "Set Warranty Bit: recovery" in yellow. Then after about 3-4 seconds it shuts off, then about 2 seconds later it restarts automatically and just keeps looping like that.
T-Mobile said they would replace the phone, and they'll be sending me a new one as soon as the old one reaches the return center. Obviously I didn't tell them what I actually tried to do. In case they're able to find out what I tried to do and end up sending my old one back, I just wanted to ask this question preemptively so I might have an idea of what to do.
I HAVE TRIED BOOTING INTO RECOVERY MODE AND DOWNLOAD MODE. No button combinations cause anything to happen. The only thing that stopped the auto-restarting and looping was taking the battery out. Upon putting the battery back in, it will stay off until I manually turn the phone on again, where it will then continue to auto-restart and loop itself.
I do not have the phone right now because I sent it to a return center after spending a few hours searching online for answers and talking to T-Mobile on the phone. But if any of you have any ideas it would certainly be a great help if the worst case scenario ends up happening. Thanks for any potential solutions!

I have no idea what the issue is, but it seems you might not have a recovery installed on the phone. Try this:
Hold power + volume to go into bootloader (I know you said you tried various combinations, but make sure you're doing it correctly.).
Go into fastboot
flash a new recovery image from (TWRP or CWM) (how to: https://sites.google.com/site/tomsgt123//adb-fastboot)
reboot and go into recovery, then use adb sideload to flash a new ROM.

I have no idea whether this will work, but it's worth a try. Please don't blame me if your phone gets even more messed up than it already is.

Thank you so much. I will definitely try this. I was also getting replies elsewhere that if I can see the logo, I should be able to get into download mode where I could then flash the stock ROM. Honestly, it does seem like I somehow may not have a recovery installed.
If they send me my old phone back I will definitely give this a try. Thanks a bunch! And don't worry, I won't hold you accountable haha.

If the advice above didn´t work (nothing happened when pressing the usual VOL down - home - power etc; this did not work for me), this is how I managed:
I tried booting around 25 times with the power button released at different times. Did not work.
Tried to insert battery when pressing the 3 buttons. Did not work.
I let the battery run completely empty. Started charging the phone and pressing the 3 buttons. Did not work.
I charged the phone full (with booting the whole time....needed to put it somewhere quiet). After estimating it was full, I pulled out the battery, preparing to send it to mobiletechvideos.com (they saved me before). After a few hours I wanted to see the error message so I could inform them. When I inserted the battery, I got the regular download mode! Nowthen, would I dare to boot it since I am not really sure what to flash to my phone?
I rebooted, and now the phone is back to normal. OTOH, I will not try to flash CWM/TWRP again, so goodbye custom roms (Omega )

So basically your problem was fixed by keeping the battery out for an extended period of time? Did you get the same problem as I did, with the phone trying to boot into recovery constantly and failing due to having no recovery image?
I never kept the battery out for more than 2-3 minutes, so that's another option for me to try if they send my old phone back and the first guy's suggestion doesn't work.

Yes, I had the exact problem. I tried to have the battery out for 10 minutes, and also ran out of battery during a nightly discharge. Still I could not get it to work. The only way was to leave the battery out for several hours. Beats me, but it worked.
Having bricked a device completely before, I am confident that your phone will be able to get fixed. This isn´t even semi-bricked
Good luck - let me know what happened!

When that happens and you go back to normal, are you able to access recovery mode afterwards if you want to? Or does trying to cause the same loop? Is it wise to re-flash the stock firmware just to be safe?

I never dared to try. But since I always used Windows under Mac (Parallells) or the fact that I used Windows 7 or 8, I tried to flash CWM on a native Windows XP PC today and it worked. So now I have a custom ROM working which I never thought would happen :laugh:
Sorry I did not try to access recovery before so you would know

No that's alright, I just wanted to know if it was something I should avoid. :laugh: I'll use Odin to flash the official firmware back on regardless.

I had this happen to me, what had occurred was that the efs was corrupt. Here's the fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507403
Now to implement this fix, you must first be able to get into download mode. To do so:
1. Pull the battery
2. Wait 10-20 secs
3. Reinsert battery WHILE holding power button and (volume down + home???, whatever the key combination is)
5. Phone will boot directly to download mode, no logo
6. Flash twrp via odin
7. Phone will reboot into bootloop again
8. Repeat steps 1-4 except this time use the key combination for recovery
9. You must now use adb and push the file I linked to earlier
10. Then without rebooting you must flash it
11. Reboot and problem solved

Fixed issue with continuous recovery boot
So, this issue was somewhat perplexing, and while the information shared was hopefully valuable to some, it took me about 2 minutes to
fix this and get back into download mode.
Take the battery out of the device, then plug the device into USB (If you're having same issue I was device will not show charging or turn on when plugged in.) Then with the device plugged in to usb and the battery out, hold down the Download mode combination Vulume +, Home and Power, then simultaneously slide in the batter, the phone will boot into download mode and you can get back to stock.
Hope this helped! If it did, leave a thanks.

LOL Sorry. When I flash the TWRP file it just rebooted the phone back into the Hyper Drive Rom I'm using, did it do the same for you?

Thanks to everyone who has provided information and tried to help me! Thankfully, T-Mobile simply sent me a new phone. However, I'm definitely going to keep this topic bookmarked for future reference. This seems to be a rather uncommon problem, considering I had to make a topic to find a solution since all of my searches didn't give me any results.
Thanks again to everyone!

U r My neww Mirical worker I messed up a Mobile Odin Flash At work today trying to get the newish NE6
couldnt get it to boot into download after the screw up but read this this morning nd after trying everything else it worked perfect
thank you thank you

I'm having the same problem with my TMobile Note3 after using Kingo after upgrading via Kies to the latest Firmware. The only difference is my phone immediately starts rebooting as soon as I put the battery back in. It doesn't appear that any keys stop this and the USB isn't recognized by my computer in time before the reboot cycle starts.
Is there anything else to try other than sending the phone back for warranty replacement?
tim

Yeah Kingo has given me nothing but trouble, I'd steer clear of that software. I'm assuming you have no access to recovery mode? I have had that issue before on an S3 and was able to finally get it into download mode, but the battery being inserted immediately boots the phone up. So what you have to do is 1. Take battery out and unplug usb cable. 2. Plug USB cable in and Hold download mode buttons with BATTERY OUT (vol+, home and power) 3. insert battery simultaneously while holding buttons down, phone will boot up.. After holding down for about 10 seconds phone will manually reboot, 4. When screen shuts off (potentially vibrates) release download mode buttons, then IMMEDIATELY press and hold download mode buttons again (must perform this step FAST, the key is to do it right before the screen turns on if you can.) 5. The manual boot you've performed should allow you to trigger download mode. I was eventually able to get this to work (about 3 tries. ) I believe your download mode is still intact, you just have to use this method to access it. Remember that because your phone atuo boots with battery inserted download mode will only be available by manual reboot not battery insert.
Give thanks if I assisted you.. Your phone isn't a hard brick so Jtag service should be unnecessary at this juncture.

I read on many posts and comments that everyone is able to boot in download mode. My Note 3 just stuck on recovery boot and I can't get it to boot in download mode. I tried all of the suggestions about pressing three buttons, removing battery etc.
Does anyone know solution for when you can't get into download mode?

Note II GT-N7100 Not Turning On at all

Hello Everyone!
First of all, let me say that i'm desperately in need of help with my phone. Here's what happened to it so everyone knows.
My Phone was bought in UAE and was given to me, i live in the Philippines and it was working fine, i can use it on everyday tasks Until, a few days ago my phone performed updates (auto updates) which made it froze, i tried to press and hold the power button but it doesn't turn off. I removed the battery and restarted my phone then all i get is the Boot screen. I went to recovery mode to perform a wipe/factory reset. it returned with a lot of errors about files missing, etc etc...
At that point i thought that my phone might have been updating the OS when it froze so i DLed a stock firmware because i can still go to download mode.
After a day (crappy internet + limited download speed from sammobile) i finished the firmware download then tried going to download mode on my phone but now, my phone doesnt turn on at all. when i press and hold power+down vol+home nothing happens. i tried going back to recovery mode and still nothing happens. Even if i just press the power key nothing happens at all. I tried charging the phone but its not charging as well, The Battery Icon is not showing on the screen anymore but after minutes f charging i can feel my phone getting warmer.
Anyone experienced this issue before or knows how to fix it? i do not believe that the battery died because it was working just a day before.
Any help and TIPS would greatly help.
again: I cannot go to download/recovery mode nor go to the boot screen.

Hello there,
Try to connect your phone to PC and press power button / vol / home button simultaneously, if PC still recognize your phone, then you still got chance to recover it using Octoplus software?
