[Q] How to boot to recovery?

Hey peeps - another annoying n00b question (sorry)
I have the Doom v3 kernel and stock 2.3.3
Just want to know how I can boot into recovery so I can install a ROM zip?
I have tried every combination of buttons on startup including Power then tapping and holding Back and I cant get into recovery mode.
Please help i really want to try the GingerStation rom

Turn device off. When off press the power button once, then start tapping any hardware button untill device boots into recovery. You can also try doomlords xCharge app from the market.
Sorry i havent been very active in the forums recently. I will be updating rom soon with some cool features and a new name

AFAIK you have to boot into recovery the standard way. Like the person above described. Once you do that CWM creates a directory in /cache called "recovery" then xCharge works fine

OmG it worked.. thanks alot guys!!

Did you try everything from this thread?
eg. Pushing back/wolume button (or maybe other) when the led lights.
If yes. Try get to it using command or reflash boot.img

Are you rooted?
If not, do you know how to do that?

No, it's completely stock, I've read I have to flash a file in recovery, I've got it, but I don't know how to reboot in recovery with button combination.

To get cwm, root using doomlords easy toolkit, search development
Then install this app and click install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler
After you have installed that, boot on your phone, and when you see the sony ericsson screen, repeatedly tap volume down until you get into cwm

WOW! It's very easy this way, thanks a lot
Another quick question, now bootloader is unlocked?
Can I flash any custom roms like any other device? (flash in recovery mode)
Thanks again.

That way i showed is to install CWM with a LOCKED bootloader.
This will allow you to flash STOCK based roms, no others
This is not unlocking bootloader, just getting CWM
If you want to unlock your bootloader, you have to go to the sony website or pay to unlock it

Oh, so I can't flash CM roms, but I can with stock based, right?
I knew about Sony website, but I though there was other ways to have the bootloader unlocked.
Well, thank you a lot, now I have to find a good stock based rom.

Not all n7100 has this problem,you try to flash this bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32588568&postcount=14

This error has reported in many forums but no ultimate solution yet:
Checkout some tips this might help
Turn off you phone and take your battery out
Now your mobile phone is off
Turn it on again by pressing power and volume button (up or down doesn’t matter) but same time.
After Logo “Android out of box will appear”
Press Menu button and wait a recovering button should appear
Recover your phone it might help?
Best of luck:good:

Thank You, I found it and already fixed it.

same problem
just for the sake of enforcement, i have the same problem. although i don't know if it was there from the start, but i noticed it after flashing rooted stock via ODIN.
then, i flashed CWM, and it was still there. I flashed a stock rom and checked if i can get into stock recovery, no luck!
then i flashed CWM from another source, and it was still there.
so i flashed CF-root to go back to stock recovery, and it is still there.
finally, i flashed CWM, and rebooted into recovery via ROM Manager, and flashed a custom ROM which includes a custom recovery, and it is still there!!!
So, i wake up every morning, and it is still there.....

actually sir, i m going to flash Custom Rom so, thats why i was install CWM,
actually my main purpose to flash custom rom, to feel much more fluid ui..

Ok ok then just keep cwm and flash desired custom rom.
I advised to make nandroid backup, you having mount error may be due to issue with sds card, copy sd card sd content to PC and then format it, then it should work.
Make nandroid on ext sd card, to preserve it if you need to wipe anytime.
Goodluck
Edit :
Don't forget to make efs backup and move copy of it to safe on pc.

We are not specific and are not spoon feeding you because this not done that way. You HAVE to spend time and learn what is what. The answers you need and the help you need are already here. If you're expecting download links and screenshots you shouldn't be modifying your phone. The whole point of this community is to learn and share the knowledge - not spoon feed.
Go to the TWRP thread, read up and download the tar that you need to flash through odin. Look for the MJ5 bootloader (hint: look up Wanam's ROM thread, that's one of the many places). After you got these two, boot to TWRP and flash the ROM.
Finally, as long as your phone gets into download mode, it's not bricked. And you got to do something incredibly foolish to make it not boot into bootloader. That said, it would be prudent to learn and act rather than blindly execute what you read - I said the same thing in not so many words in my reply to you in the DN3 ROM thread.

Tab 3 7" T210R is slow and won't root!!! HELP?

Gentlemen,
This tab is slow....keyboard is very laggy. So I figured I'd root it and load a ROM to it.... I flashed the file listed in the thread,
however, power, home and up won't go.... upon ocsassion, it wil bring me into factory mode..... wierd. My s3 and 4 rooted just fine,
so I'm no stranger to that......
Suggestion? Is there something I'm missing?
Other suggested in antother thread to reload factory firmware from sammobile...... I don't believe it would solve anything......
Thanks guys

You should try to flash the original firmware and see if it would fix it. Before doing it backup your data in case it doesn't fix

I used this link - Worked just like the video showed except I found that after flashing the TWRP recovery tool, I had to hold volume up & home for an extended period before the tool would boot. Watch the screen. After the Samsung logo dissapears, there is a slight glow on the screen. When that glow disappears, release the keys and you should see a lock screen. Swipe and you're in. Good luck.
