I know there is a script to get into recovery mode, anyone know if there is one for download mode, or can someone make one, for the phones not able to use 3 button combination. ?
12.My phone cannot enter download mode or recovery mode using the buttons combos. What can I do?
Some batches in various countries seem to not have this feature. Whether this is an intentional change made by Samsung or simply a software error is not completely clear. While some Samsung offices see it as a softwarebug and are claiming that they will release a software fix, others do not acknowledge the issue and so not replace phones without the fuction. If you are one of the unfortunate group who cannot use the button combos (VolumeUp+Home+Power for recovery and VolumeDown+Home+Power for download mode), you can use the commands "adb reboot recovery" and "adb reboot download" to get into the respective modes (See Post#3 for a step-by-step tutorial on using ADB). However, if you cannot enter download mode by using the button combo, you will NOT be able to recover from a failed flash! Since this is a rather common occurance, I strongly advise you NOT to flash your phone using the adb reboot download command!

Read the big faq
Ahh ok, ty.
I will try that.
Ok i have a small script for you to use! but read the WARNING below!
IF the flash fails... you won't be able to restore or reflash your phone and it WILL be bricked. Because your not able to go into download mode anymore.
So use it at your own risk (generally flashing is pretty ok and safe with odin and it has never failed for me!) But thats just my experience. If your pc crashes or you get unlucky any other way.
Anyway script is in this post! Download it but don't spread without a warning it because it is very dangerous and similar to Russian roulette.
Instructions:
1) Put phone in USB Debugging
2) Connect Phone
3) Download script and unzip it somewhere
4) open Reboot recovery.bat
also you could just use adb. i guess this is what BackfireNL's script does, so just to give you all the information:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
or
Code:
adb reboot download
is what you want
And it must be said, since you dont have access to the 3 button combo, you have only ONE shot of getting this right.
Thx, this is just what I was looking for.
I have flashed my own sgs tons of times, never had any problems, this is to be able to flash a friends phone(lacks 3 button comb.)
I have the same problem and i tried adb reboot download, but not working.
It worked with rooted firm, but without the 3 button i cannot root the new firm, so this command not works.
Any useable advice?

I am quite certain that I went into recovery mode using ADB without root. Then of course I rooted.
sorry for my last message
i was able to flash the new firm because i used this command
but now adb refuse it, i thought its because its not rooted...
but now i have "no way out"....cannot flash recover or root...
a new kernel can fix this? or what should i do?

Hi!
I recently rooted my Desire with unrevoked 3 and I installed the ReflexS rom. Everything worked perfectly!
I was curious for Cyanogenmod and I downloaded version 7.0.3 directly through Rom Manager. When the download was completed it suggested to install which I agreed. I think clear Dalvik cache was marked, but clear data cache was not. I agreed... maybe my first mistake.
After this Cyanogenmod was installed, but my Desire stayed on the boot screen (sakteboarding android with running arrow) for over 30min so I took out the battery. I restarted and it goes well until the android setup screen "tap the android to begin". I can tap and it gets glowing, but it does not continue! I can not go any further than this. The only thing I can do is choose a language or shutdown.
To overcome this issue I thought of recovering/reinstalling my previous ROM. I also have a Titanium backup.
Now here's the problem: when start up into recovery, my volume buttons won't work so I can not enter into the recovery menu.
What should I do?
I'm getting desperate, because my phone is down at the moment!
Thanks for your help!
you mean volume buttons dont work in recovery or in bootloader ?
in recovery you can navigate using trackpad, in bootloader you must wait around 10-15 seconds until you can use volume buttons to navigate.
and yes it was a BIG mistake not to make a wipe before the flashing of cyanogenmod....
you should have done a full wipe
Ok will firstly, go to the Cyanogenmod stable topic to read how to install out. Secondly, avoid rom manager. Thirdly, to boot into recovery, boot your phone like normal and plug your phone into your pc. After about 20 second the usb will kick in. This is where you use the adb reboot recovery command in command prompt or terminal. Enjoy.

You can alwys get into recovery through the adb shell.
Hi.
I know this tread is old but the issue is relevant because this is still a persistant problem.First of all thanks for the tip and second i have great,great news !!! you dont even have to deassemble the phone to put the up down button to work.Just insert the alcool UNDER the volume button with a seringe with a needle and click the button for a minute or two...wait until the alcool evaporates and VOILÁ !! problem fixem !! Not need todeassemble or using adb.Just do this and you will be fine.
DISCLAIMER
Thank you to all the DEV'S who have made this possible BIG UPS TO YOU
This worked for me, and in theory if my instructions are followed carefully it will work for you.
However if your results are not the same I am in no way responsible for any dammage done to your tablet!
THE GOOD STUFF
This was tested on Acer A100 on the latest ICS LEAK found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510706
Also my PC is running windows 7 x64
(Follow install instructions carefully)
First install the latest ICS leak http://vache-android.com/v1/index.ph...files&file=148
Once complete do a factory data reset on your device from the settings/backup and restore menu on the tablet
When that is complete, Root your Device using the method found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531646
( again Follow instructions Carefully )
BE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOUR DEVICE IS ROOTED BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!!
Unlock your BOOTLOADER using the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557445
(Really be careful here!)
This is where it gets tricky download http://forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=369 for your OS and extract recovery_thor17_403.img to the root of your platform-tools folder for instance mine is C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
Once completed on your PC open a command prompt as an administrator and navigate to your platform-tools folder from cmd prompt e.g. cd c:\android-sdk\platform-tools and hit enter
next type the following commands:
adb reboot bootloader
once in bootloader mode type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_thor17_403.img
and hit enter you will see it flash to your device within a couple of seconds.
once complete with the tablet in upright landscape mode ( home button on the right hand side ) power the device down and power it back on while holding the leftmost volume button firmly when it vibrates you may release the power button.
continue to hold the volume button until you see Booting recovery kernel image on the screen.
if all went well you now have cwm on your device
now for rom manager!
boot back into android OS and navigate to the google market, search for rom manager in the upper search pane.
download the app and install
open the app and press ok
next press flask clockworkmod recovery
next confirm your phone model
a popup will say your device is not officially supported press yes
next confirm version 3.x+
and you should be good to go

First check out this post http://www.acertabletforum.com/foru...rkmod-recovery-your-acer-iconia-tab-a200.html
Download the updated file from the above website, extract it to your desktop, and run acera200simpletool.bat and follow the onscreen instructions.
Once complete download the rom manager app from the market and install it.
Once installed open from manager and choose flash clockwork mod recovery from the top of the list, then confirm your device is Acer a100. It will say there is currently no recovery for your device and ask if you installed a custom one, choose yes and select the second option it should say 3.x.x or something to that effect. Again confirm your selection and tada you now have cwm and a working from manager. I have tested this and made a complete backup already. Cheers

hello masterpcker...Did you install anything else first? Were you just using the standard a100 root? Also, did you unlock your bootloader beforehand? thanks so much friend
Yes I unlocked my boot loader first, and my device was rooted so all I did was run the .bat file from the above website and choose option 3 install recovery only. I am about to try a modded a500 from and see what it does.

I will be eager to hear how that comes out! I wish you the best of luck, but I'm not real confident. let us know the outcome if you don't mind....good luck!
For some reason I followed the directions to install CWM and it doesn't work.
When I try to boot to recovery all I see is the android mascot on it's back with a warning sign. If I press the home button it brings up the Android System Recovery, which I believe is the stock recovery. I'm not even sure how to select the items. I can only highlight the menu items using the volume keys.
It doesn't look like the cwm that I have flashed on my atrix.
Any ideas?
Edit...
Btw, I did unlock my bootloader
Well the a500 modded rom was a bust, it just booted to a really colorful screen lol. But my Android backup worked great for reinstall

What's the syntax did you use to dd to the device?
I found this dd syntax in the other thread. That the same one you used?
Code:
su
dd if=/mnt/external_sd/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
-Extract the zip folder "recoverycwma100" ( It's a recovery into Acer a200 simple tool )
-Copy ''recovery.img'' into your external sd card
-open a terminal emulator to your A100 ( root acces !!! )
- Write the following commands :
su
dd if = / mnt / external_sd / recovery.img of = / dev/block/mmcblk0p1
-wait a message '' xxxx bytes transferred in... ''
-exit terminal
-open root explorer with a mount system
-rename the file '' install-recovery.sh'' into /etc/ it '' install-recovery.bak''
Reboot into recovery with volum down + power , and Enjoy

Can't we just go into fastboot and use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img?
If you're running linux or just want to use adb it's way more simple than it looks.
Code:
Adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
And if you brick your device by accidently installing the wrong boot.img
find your respected rom .zip file that you are currently using and use this.
Code:
Adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

I can confirm that I have already flashed the recovery.img via fastboot, however cwm still fails on my particular tab. I did a full factory reset and flashed the entire new ics through recovery with the exact same results. I will be investigating the cause of some tabs doing this later tonight when I get home from work. If someone figures this out please post. I have gotten the recovery.img to flash via the a200cwm, however android exclamation upon recovery attempt. i have tried all three paths with no success. I am almost certain that it is a problem with the rooting method, but i won't have time to have a look until tonight. thanks and goodluck! I think the problem could be because of installing different rooting methods in the past, however I have yet to find a way to solve it.

You need to install the sdk tools and platform-tools from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html install it. See that the fastboot-drivers are correctly installed. Connect your phone (in usb-debugging mode) with the computer with the usb cable. Open cmd and type adb devices, you should see the phone with your serial number. Than type adb reboot-bootloader and you`ll come in fastboot mode. If that`s ok you can flash a google factory image. If you can get out of this mess i advice you to read up and learn some stuff about rooting, flashing etc. Better not do that without even the basic knowledge, and stay away from Odin with this phone!
Just Remove the battery for about 10 minutes, then put the battery back on and go fastboot v+ v- power, get a new cable and use another usb port in your computer to prevent futures failures with odin, in the mean time download the google factory image for your phone, gsm if your phone is gsm these are maguro builds or cdma if your phone its cdma these are toro builds
Thats it

thanks for all.
I had flash rom, root etc, but i don't have deep knowledge.
Just insert the battery appears this picture :

even if I hold down the buttons to go fastboot.
If i connect the phone to PC, odin see device connect.
Starting flash, but stop at "NAND Write Start!".
I do not know what to do :-/
Thats cool go recovery mode only hold down volume - and power, do no use volume +

as soon as i insert the battery, I get the photo that I showed.
No recovery, bootloader ecc.
any key combination always takes me there.
I tried using the command adb devices, but I see no phone
Does odin/computer recognice your phone?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
yes, when i insert telephone appears "Added" in Odin.
But the telephone is not in download mode
Ok so Please get this http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/2153...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
In order to be able to send adb commands to your phone, once you can send commands use this command: adb reboot-recovery
so you can flash your stock image vía odin now with your phone in recovery mode
Or you can download the toolkit use this command adb reboot-fastboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
And follow this wich its safer
0-put your phone in fastboot and plug to pc and open toolkit
1- Select your phone version
Meaning android gsm or cdma and its 4.0.1 4.0.2 4.0.3 4.0.4. It does not matter if it custom rom just matter if cdma or gsm and what version of android
2-install drivers if you dont have or if the toolkit does not recognice your phone in the list of attached files
3-once done with recognition use option 8 (donwload/extract/flash google factory inage)
4-Select 1 then if you are gsm go for 5 IMM76I for others get the lastest
5-after that go to the directory you installed the toolkit default is c:\Galaxy Nexus toolkit, open that folder and inside theres another folder called put_google_factory_image_here so the google file you just downloaded put it there, close that Windows and then back to toolkit use option 2 flash google factory image (dont not unzip the downloaded file)
Thats pretty much it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
yes, adb worked on my pc I used it before this problem.
But now there are no device connected even if I have the phone connected and turn on.
I have already install the Toolkit, i use this to unlock bootloader
If i use adb or fastbook, with the toolkit or without, i receive "device not found"
Thanks
use odin and flash phone and pda but at seperate times...
Thanks, sorry but where i find phone and pda for my galaxy nexus?
I'm don't have deep knowledge to use odin.
Sorry
Thanks
Try this, open toolkit and uninstall drivers, then disconnect the phone and install drivers again, connect the phone when promted, once you pc recognice the phone again use the adb command to go fastboot with adb reboot-fastboot once in fastboot well go to stock following toolkit option 8 procedure

People please stop telling him to Fastboot, he clearly cannot get the device to that point. ODIN is your only bet, use the PDA from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394051

There won't be any sdcard bro!! You have formatted the sd card as adaptive storage i.e., your sdcard is now a part of android system. So twrp will not show your sdcard anymore.
