Hi everyone. As title, I tried flashing Clockworkmod Recovery on my Galaxy W using Android Terminal Emulator...the flashing LOOKED successful so I tried rebooting into clockworkmod recovery. Here's where the problem starts :
- after the Samsung logo, the phone automatically goes into the page before download mode (the page with the "Warning!!" and a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark within it) regardless of what I press ... (pressing Power Button + Volume Up + Home / Power Button + Volume Down + Home / Power Button alone also takes me to this page)
- Once at this page I have 2 choices : either press volume up or down... pressing Volume Up (which is stated as "Continue" freezes my phone)
Pressing Volume Down (which is stated as "Cancel (restart phone) ) will just make the phone reboot itself and then comes back to this screen
Is there any solution to this ?? as I dont thik I am able to enter Download mode since pressing volume up will just freeze up my phone

Can't even go to download mode when you switch your phone off and use the combination of power home and volume up?

boot to recovery, that's where it will take you
I'm seriously not trying to be a ****, but that's pretty useless information. Obviously a factory reset will remove the pattern or password, along with everything else. That would be a last-ditch option... when everything else fails, this will, without a doubt work. Also, to boot into recovery just hold power + volume up. No need to hold the home button, stand on your head, and do a split while singing Hotel California just to enter recovery.
Just FYI, by typing "remove pattern unlock android site:forum.xda-developers.com" in Google, it pulls up many various techniques of doing the same thing WITHOUT losing data.

My technique to boot into recovery / download mode:
1. Start with device all the way off.
2. Press and hold the volume down or volume up button as desired.
3. THEN Press and hold the power button until the system begins showing signs of life. Samsung logo or whatever. Release power button but keep holding volume button without fail.
4. When you get to recovery or download mode, release volume key.
If that doesn't work, consider you may have a button hardware failure or some serious other fault.
I used to have lots of trouble getting into recovery or download mode, because I tried to press power and volume keys at same time. That resulted in sporadic operation. Doing it as I describe above, starting with volume key, works every time.

You don't need to hold volume up/down before pressing power, but it doesn't hurt. You can hold the power button until the device vibrates and let off. As soon as you feel the vibration, you can then switch to holding volume up until you see the blue text in the upper-left hand corner that says "Recovery booting." Once you see that blue text you can release the volume key and you will enter recovery mode every single time. Same way with download mode. Basically, as long as you're holding whichever volume button you want when the Galaxy S4 splash screen pops up, you will enter the corresponding mode. Also, there is no real need to start from the device being powered off completely. You can actually use your basic power menu (or advanced, depending on the ROM) and select Reboot/Restart and then hold the correct volume key when the screen powers off; although with an advanced power menu the option to boot to either is obviously both there and foolproof
I have never understood why people make entering download/recovery mode a lot more complicated than it actually is... I've never had trouble getting into download or recovery mode because it's not hard at all.

Or flash CWM, pull the /data/system/gesture.key file and open it with Revskills > Cryptoanalysis > Bruteforce android pattern lock (for pattern) - pull /data/system/password.key and /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db and open them with Revskills > Cryptoanalysis > Bruteforce android passcode
You will just need to find a Revskills.zip with key latest version is 2.08.6
can u elaborate on this
When you can't boot into recovery you can wipe your phone with the computer using ODIN
If the person can boot the phone into recovery and perform a factory wipe, Odin is not required.

Hello guys,
I was trying to switch rom to my gpad but I rebooted without doing the factory resets so the new rom didn't boot up.
I've figured out how to reboot into recovery, there are 3 steps:
-with the device off press vol. down button and power until LG logo comes up,
-when you see the logo you need to leave the buttons and start pressing the volume up volume down and power button for 3 seconds
-then the device will boot into the reset mode, you have to press 3 times in a row the power button and then tadaaa custom recovery here for you.
Hope it can be useful
sorry for my bad english.

A buddy of mine just gave me this phone and asked if I could help unbrick it. I have no info what they did with the phone before it got bricked.
I can't go into recovery and if I try that's when the bootloop begins.
I can go into fastboot mode. From there I installed 8 different STOCK boot.img and recovery.img files because I have no way of knowing the firmware installed and still nothing.
Is there anyway to unbrick this phone?
Thanks in advance.
Boot into Recovery mode with below steps:
1. Press Power Button + Volume Up Key
2. Then from Fasboot option - use Volume Key and choose Recovery Mode, press Power Button.
3. If it booted in Recovery Menu with Sleeping Android and Error, then Press
4. Again Volume Up Key and Power Button, leave Power Button immediately after 1 or 2 seconds.
5. You See normal Recovery Menu, from here you Reset Your Handset.
