Only Odin Mode available when booting with vol+ and power on. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello everyone,
when I boot my phone into recovery mode, there is only one option available: Odin Mode. It says "downloading. do not turn off...".
I can get into CWM through RomManager and everything else works fine. Just flashed Jelly Bean an hour ago.
I had to replace my USB port some days ago and this issue was present before the port was changed. So I thought it had something to do with that.
It would only become an issue when the phone would be in a bootloop...
How can I "force" the phone out of OdinMode? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

I just pull the battery.
Volume up + volume down + power is to get to bootloader

Thanks. I messed something up there...
Still use a HTC Desire S/Saga as a second phone and there it's vol & power for bootloader and vol+, vol- & power for hardware reset.

[SOLVED] [Q] Can't get into Recovery Mode using hard keys, any ideas?

I have a rooted phone with stock ROM (havent flashed any customs yet) with Super User and Clockwork Mod Recovery.
I can get into Recovery Mode by using the option in ROM Manager but I want to be able to get into it from a powered off state using the Volume Up + Power button as would be required if my OS was trashed and I couldnt get into ROM Manager.
I can get into ODIN mode using Volume Down + Power button so not sure whats up here. Is there a knack to it any different than going into ODIN mode?
Press on the middle of the volume rocker until both sides are depressed.
Thanks!! I have managed it in the past but thought I had pressed Volume Up! Wonder why its volume up and down together, when volume up on its own doesnt seem to be mapped to anything. Nevermind! Thanks again!
lol glad you got there
Doesn't Vol Up + Vol Down + Power get into fastboot?
Is there no way to get directly into recovery?
I dont think so. Recovery is only a couple of presses away once you're in fast boot mode anyway.

[Q] phone died when i flashed kernel, stuck in start.

Hi My phone died when i was in the middle of flashing a kernel. So then when i tried to start it, it just shows up the google img and the unlocked lock.
If i press Vol down and power i get into a mode where it says downloading... do not turn off target!! so i can't get into recovery mode?? If i connect it to the pc at this stage the pc says that some usb is not working.
Thanks in advance!

Pull the battery then then put it back in and use volume up/down + power and then choose recovery. Then reflash the correct kernel while you have the phone plugged in for a charge. On a side note, never flash anything when your battery is low.

Anyways it works now Thanks!

Phone will not go into download mode [fixed] (now it won't power off)

hello,
i have a brand new Koodo T989D.
I have Kies, samsung drivers and odin installed. I have rooted phones in the past but something is up with this one. It will not go into download mode. volume up+down with power key won't work, powered off volume up+down then connect via USB doesn't work, tried all combinations for t989D.. it seems strange. Odin does recognize the phone (it says connected), but the phone is ON and running OS (with debugging mode)....
everything else works fine though through kies etc.
Isn't it hold volume down and home key and power?

How to enter recovery/download with a Koodo T989D
I have the exact same phone as you from Koodo and have been able to access recovery/download mode on the phone via button combos straight out of the box.
For RECOVERY MODE the exact button combination for the Koodo T989D is:
Press and hold the "volume up + volume down" buttons, while holding the volume keys press and hold the "power button" until the phone vibrates/screen turns on to the Samsung logo and let go of 'only' the power button. The phone should then display the recovery system image and load to the recovery start up screen.
For DOWNLOAD MODE the exact button combination for the Koodo T989D is:
(As a precautionary, take out your battery and place it back in)
While phone is off, connect the USB to your phone making sure the USB cable is attached directly to a powered USB port (if on a desktop PC, the main USB ports on the motherboard I/O is the safest way to go). Now, press and hold 'only' the "volume down" button. While holding it, press the "power button" until you feel the phone vibrate/screen turn on and let go of 'only' the '"power button". Keep holding on to the "volume down" button until a "warning screen" appears. Once it displays, press the "volume up" button and you should now be in 'Download mode'
Hope that helps you are anyone else who was curious about getting in to recovery/download modes for our KOODO T989D. Good luck!
thank you all
interesting, got it to work after enabling debugging mode..
rooted and unlocked (thanks to owl74 method) but whenever I press power button and select reboot option, it freezes and the bottom buttons stay lighted.. i have to pull battery or long press power button.. it does shut down and power back on but reboot option makes it freeze:silly:
UPDATE: Phone won't turn off even when selecting power off option, it seems to say on with screen black and buttons lighted up.. have to resort to battery pulls

Is this happening with the stock Koodo ROM? Go in to your recovery and do a factoryreset/wipe data, also wipe your cache. Let us know if the issue still occurs.

Please go to this link and download the files under "Koodo T989D TLLG2". Once you finish downloading the files, follow the instructions in the OP on how to re-flash the stock Koodo ROM. That will definitely help you with the issue you are experiencing. Good luck!

If you have not modified anything from the phone and u just updated from Sony then call Sony, it is under warranty and any issue with the Phone they will fix it or give you a new one.

[Q] I'm stuck in a bootloop

Need some help please !
First of all I'm stuck in bootloop with my nexus 7 2013 (not unlocked). So I pluged my N7 in my computer (windows 7) to flash the Rom. I also have a problem with the driver when I connect my N7 to the computer and I get the message (MTP device failed ). So I've tried to install manually new drivers from Google but it says that my drivers are up to date ??? Now It seems that it's impossible to flash my N7 if my computer doesn't recognize my device.
What is the best thing to do now
thanks in advance

Well, it looks like you have a couple of things going on. I can't remember how I got windoze to recognize the n7, but it had something to do with deleting the driver then plugging the n7 back in and letting it install the driver again. I remember I had to play around with the thing for a little while. Trying to update the driver wouldn't work for me either. As, far as the bootloop, you could try this one click tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381582 Finally, you could try wugfresh's toolkit if you want to take the lazy route. It actually works pretty well. It might even help with that driver issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389107 you don't use it to install a rom, but you do need to install a custom recovery and the toolkit could help with things like that. I personally use the toolkit to return a tablet or phone back to factory condition, lock the bootloader, etc...
You could also try to do a factory reset from the stock recovery. That fixed a boot loop for me after unlocking my bootloader.
Problem solved
I finally contacted Google Canada Monday morning and spoke with with a tech. Wow...very impressed by the service and my problems are now solved. First we went to Recovery mode ( Power and volume down) in that mode you then press again power and volume up and release at the same time. Then,from that menu you can now swipe all data and it solves the Bootloop problem. Finally I reinstalled all my app and back to normal. I pluged my N7 to my computer and now no more driver problem....
Thanks

That's what I was referring to in my post, sorry for not giving a more detailed explanation.
Glad to hear you that you had a good experience with Google support and that you solved your problem. :good:
Thanks for giving feedback and have lots of fun with your N7!
Hello!
I'm stuck in a loop boot too. I flashed without wiping... I try to boot in recovery mode but it's impossible. The combination vol up, down and power doesn't work. It tries to boot as usual so starts in a loop again.

Let me get this straight....are you trying to hold volume up & down at the same time? If so, you cannot please both volumes at the same time. Also, to boot into the bootloader (same as fastboot, not recovery) is power + volume down. The easiest way to do this is to hold volume down, then press and hold the power button. If the tab was on, and the screen goes black, let go of the power button, but keep holding the volume down button. It should boot into the bootloader soon enough.
1. Push volume up and power button for 5 seconds then release the power button.
2. Do a complete wipe of the system and reinstall the system.zip again and reboot.
If it doesnt load the recovery do this.:
1. Hold volume down and power button for 5 sec. Release the power button and volume once you enter the download screen.
2. Use odin in your Pc to install the rom you want or stock rom.
(3. If you installed stock rom go back to the steps I wrote at the top and flash a new rom)
Remember that you need to be rooted.
OK so I was trying with the wrong combination.
With both vol up/down + power worked.
I restored and it's up and running again.
Thanks!
