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

I have tried xCharge, all it does is reboots the phone

You have to turn the phone on, when you see the first image of the android on the screen keep tapping the back button, you will get in trust me I had the same problem

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.

I had the same problem, or more or less. Use the 'One X all in one recovery kit'. Just select boot to recovery with the software while it is showing screen(You're phone has of course be plugged in to the computer).
Alternately you can hold power for 10 sec, more or less, until the soft buttons flicker, when thats done the screen will turn of and hold down 'lower volume' button plus power, until you're in the bootloader menu. Remove usb, if you don't get past sd-card updating. Boot into recovery and wipe everything(data, cache and dalvik) and reflash rom or you can just try and restore from backup.
My problem came from flashing mods on an aokp rom, which also changed wrong stuff. Did that more than once, so worked for me.
Hope this helps.
Just boot into the bootloader and use adb the following command fastboot erase cache and try to boot then use the wipe method to clean the device
yes i am in recovery mood

Have you managed now? Just boot to bootloader and then recovery or just use toolkit you've downloaded and boot straight to recovery.
You should also note, that you must have at least some sort of rom on you're sd card. If you do just do the above to get in recovery and choose 'install zip from sd' (or something similar) and install that rom zip.
Hope it helps

When you installed the android revolution rom did you also flash the boot img?
Otherwise try using toolkit and flash stock rec.

I reboot my 1X and it goes straight into ClockworkMod recovery, I don't even touch anything excepted Power button. If I try to reboot again, it goes straight into CWM recorvery again. I can adjust anything in CWM but can get out of it . I can turn my 1X off in Bootloader, but if i turn it on, everything is the same...
ROM: ARHD 21.0 with stock kernel
Help!
Flash CWM again and try rebooting it again.. don't forget to 'fastboot erase cache'...
Did you make any changes using terminal emulator or anything of that sort?

Arrgghhhh!!! Why do you guys want to play with Cydia when y'all don't know how to operate it?? :S
I just helped some other guy who had installed cydia. restarted... it only goes to CWM...
The only thing he could do is flash a new rom with full wipe!... I guess that's the only choice you have now!

Go to CWM>Mounts and storage>Mount USB and copy the rom file there...
Make sure you have hboot 1.31+ if you want to flash a JB rom + have bootloader unlcoked...
Edit: Make sure you have sufficient amount of battery left before you start flashing! Go to CWM and keep it on wall charger for 30 mins... just to be sure!

So you can't boot into the OS at all anymore? Cause if you can at least get into the OS you can use adb to terminate the the crashed app if it still rooted. And are you certain you can no longer get to recovery? I've already made the mistake of not having the volume up button fully depressed.

Thank you for your reply.
After flashing stock firmware I lost root.
I can log into android OS, But because of the annoying popular I have no chance to change nothing.
As for adb you mentioned , it is something I need to learn. From the little I know, It won't help me without root.
Thank you very much.

I manged somehow to install stock firmware again.
Root: CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505
CWM: i9505-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2(0611): http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2034220&d=1370946022
But again I can only boot from my OS (e.g. Quick Reboot), but not by Volume UP.
This is big problem for if, because after each mistake in try to update ROM (I'm trying to update to 4.4.2 CM 11), in order wipe I need to re-install the stock firmware.
Thx

It's actually never been home and volume up for the s4. I too was fooled by this. I guess since the s3 behaved this way someone tried it on the s4 and it worked... but I never ever needed home button pressed to boot to recovery with volume up glad everything is sorted out for ya!
