Hi , I have a grand duos GT-I9082 which was on 4.1.1 I manually rooted it some year ago , updated to 4.2 then 4.4.4 then now it is on cwm 12.1 android 5.1.1 ( pawit ) with no much problem. I tried to upgrade my friends phone (GT-I9082) which was on original 4.2.2 samsung rom.
I tried to change the recovery using odin 3.09 and "recovery-20141213-odin.tar" , the process went fine with passed and completed like this picture :

odin finished with success ( pass - green ) then rebooted the phone.
but when the phone rebooted , I held the ( home+vol up + power ) but instead of the new recovery it went to the original recovery. I tried flashing zip from external sd memory with original recovery area, but it could not verify the package and didn't install. so I rebooted the phone and it went to samsung 4.2.2 . so in case that odin was successful but nothing changed !
Then I tried this recovery : "philz_touch_6.19.3-i9082.tar.md5" , this time I used odin 3.04 , and it could change the recovery. then with this recovery I installed this rom file : "cm-12.1-20150703-UNOFFICIAL-i9082.zip" from this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal.../rom-cm-12-1-galaxy-grand-duos-i9082-t3073108
which is working fine on my own grand.
android 5.1.1 installed and booted fine , but now I see that home button is not working anymore. even in philz touch , there is a test button function , when I press buttons even volume or touch buttons , they return the keyboard code like 138 for example , but when I press home button no code is returning.
I can only access recovery mode via advanced reboot menu of the rom on power key. but I cannot hold home button +volume up or down to access download mode to flash it with odin again.
I tried to factory reset ( format /data and /cache and delvik via philz touch ) then Installed android 4.4.4 : cm-11-20141112-UNOFFICIAL-i9082.zip , but that didn't help for home button too.
I searched and saw that there are apps for rebooting into recovery or download ( odin ) mode , and tried 4 or 5 of them but none work on cyanogenmod roms. when I select reboot into download , it reboots normally and loads the android.
even samsung test code *#0*# do not work on this cyanogenmod roms.
I am now tring to learn java development kit , to reboot the phone to recovery via command : "adb reboot download"
on my own grand 5.1.1 cm 12.1 , when i use that command from phone terminal app , it returns "device not found" . I hope jdk and adb in windows helps to reboot it into odin mode. as I cannot re-program even stock rom to use samsung kies now. because that needs booting into download mode too.
any suggestions ?:crying:

Try flashfire or mobile Odin by chainfire to flash stock ROM without going to download mode,
If you want to try by adb make sure to install USB drivers and get a working cable then go to developer option ( you can enable it by going to about phone and then clicking on build number until you get a message says that you enabled dev options ) , and enable Android debugging
Connect the mobile to laptop/PC
And then type adb reboot download
You should reboot to download mode

You might wanna check USB Jig thread. It's a device that can trigger our phone to reboot into dload/odin mode, without pushing any button.
It's just a simple device, you can even make it yourself.

the phone is not with me today , but I am wondering whether is this a software issue or a hardware issue. I hope it being a software issue as i searched and saw others had similiar problems too.
on my own grand which is now on cm12.1 pawit android 5.1.1 , I tested the adb ,
settings for root access is on : Apps and ADB
on my laptop ( win8.1 x64 ) : I installed java develpment kit and android sdk tools like this guide :
http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
now adb in windows can see the phone :

but when I reboot the phone " adb reboot download" device reboots normally and loads android cyanogenmod again. any ideas ?
in adb help , there is no adb reboot download command :

not yet , this is my own working phone , I am testing adb with it , that other phone is for my friend and it is not here currently.
even I found this link : http://zidroid.com/boot-android-devices-to-download-fastboot-recovery-mode-using-adb/
adb reboot download
adb reboot-bootloader
all of them reboot the phone normally ! there must be something related to cyanogemod , as *#0*# does not work too.
edit : this works :
adb reboot recovery
reboots the phone into cyanogen recovery. again in that recovery there is an option to reboot the phone to boot loader , when I select it , the device reboots normally into android.

Bootloader Loads Kernel then Kernel Loads the OS that is how it works
I don't not much about download mode ( i didn't read about it )
But since we don't see Samsung galaxy grand duos while booting to download i'll assume that we don't boot the bootloader to go to download mode
and that is why we can't boot to it with adb
( THAT IS AN ASSUMPTION ONLY, I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT DOWNLOAD MODE )

there must be something with this ( Pawitp ) grand rom I think, because here is another samsung galacy ace2 , which had android 2.1 , and I upgraded it to cyanogenmode 4.4.4 , I tested that phone now ,
abd reboot-bootloader : rebooted device normally.
but adb reboot download : rebooted device to download (odin) mode. like holding "vol down+power+home buttons" and the command and my adb installation is working fine.
adb reboot recovery : rebooted this phone to cwm-based recovery v6.0.5.0 . so the problem is cyanogenmod recovery that I have on my own grand.
which is installed automatically by using ( update recovery ) option. when it downloaded the update , it downloaded recovery too.

As I remember, RVR did tell something about our device that won't allow to use any shortcut/reboot bootloader/download from recovery. That's why he removed the button from reboot option. Not only from recovery, I've tried several app that trigger the reboot option, none of it works, it will only reboot normally back into system.
And as I remember, I did successfully reboot to dload mode using "adb reboot bootloader" command while on stock TW 4.2.2 ROM. But can't comment on any custom ROM as I never tried yet.
RVR did built the official TWRP for our grand.

that was not a good decision he made
here is another solution i found : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYvt2gLf3vA
bringing back the softkeys to it like the tablet and devices that do not have physical buttons. like some models of Acer tablets.
I`ll try this when I get access to that malfunctioning phone. and will let you know of the result. thanks.

Actually, it is, as the button won't work so no use of it.
Are we talking about reboot download mode or softkey? If softkey is the problem, you just need to add this line in build.prop.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

the hardware home button is not returning any codes , so I thought to show software keys ( the way u also said ) so that I can hold the 3 buttons ( home + vol down+power ) to get to odin download mode , to reflash original 4.2.2 to see if home button comes back alive or not.
I think I should use triangle away first.

The softkey won't work for 3 button combo booting. Try search USB Jig thread. Its the best bet for you at the moment.
Triangle away is a good idea.

what i found so far:
I figured out that this is causing due to corrupted internal sdcard partition.Anyone give me a solution.How to fix a corrupted internal sdcard partition
I Fixed it by myself.
IF you also facing this you can fix it by this method
1. Run Odin with Administrator Privileges. Hope everyone is familiar with using Odin
2.Connect your Galaxy Grand Duos I9082 inn Download Mode (HOLD Volume Down+Home Button+Power) and see phone gets detected by Odin.
3. Click on the PIT Button in Odin and select the .pit file you have downloaded.
4. Click on PDA, and Browse for the original Stock Firmware File of Samsung Galaxy Grand I9082.
5. Ensure that The Checkboxes Auto Reboot, Re-Partition, F. Reset Time are checked.

Thanks for sharing.
But don't forget, pit file usually different from device to device, just certain is the same. If wrong pit file flashed to wrong device, might brick it.
Hello Everyone!
Im new here and will just get to the point.
I will explain my problem with super detail, so you guys can give me best solution
Source of my Problem
I love summoner war.. Totally love it, but everytime the App update, i have to delete another Apps because the device told me that i dont have enough space to update the game. Even there's no other app except Summoner Wars. So i wondering why my Phone keep telling me that the space isnt enough?
Later i learned there's 'Ghost Files' in my internal memory and it keep getting bigger and bigger. Im googling how to get rid of them and give up because its too complicated for me
Then out of nowhere, i got an idea to re-flash my phone and update it to v4.4.x(Kitkat)

The bigger problem begins
I learned how to reflash my device. Got 2 methods. And need the ROM itself so I downloaded the ROM
1. Using Download Mode + Odin
2. Using Recovery Mode

1. Turned my device off
2. Get to Download Mode
3. Connect device to PC
4. Odin Can't detect my device
Because i hate complicated things, so i moved away to Recovery method. (My biggest mistake)
1. Copy ROM to SD card
2. Turned my device off
3. Get to Recovery Mode
4. Wipe File/Reset Factory > WIPE ALL DATA TO INSTALL NEW ROM (Is this my mistake?)
5. Data Wiped out and locating ROM directory
6. Directory located and Installing ROM.
7. Error, 'Installation Aborted' (There's no status 6/7 message. Just Aborted)
Again, because hate complicated things, i changed my mind to reflash my device and just Reboot it.
And then.. My device Stuck in the booting logo screen, it's not like Bootloop because it doesnt keep restarting over and over. It just hang in logo screen so i cant say its a bootloop.
My first Question is..
What's the name of the Error? its reaaaaaaally bugging me..

And the Journey Begins..

2. Recovery Mode
How to prevent the 'Installation Aborted' Error at Installing ROMs?

Suggestions so far
1. Download Mode
- Install/Re-Install Samsung Driver (2x Tried. Failed)
- Try another Computer (First Computer is Win 8.1, try to Win 7 Professional. Failed)
- Take the battries out when connecting to PC at Download Mode (My device turned off instead. Failed)
- Change the USB Cable
(First USB Cable is a Samsung Cable, there's notif sound in my PC, there's installing Driver software pop-up in my PC, BUT it tooks forever and Never Finished. Second USB Cable is Oppo F1 Cable, there's notif sound in my PC and nothing else. Failed)
- Enter the Download Mode (Press Vol Up) at the same time when connecting the USB to PC (Fail)
2. Recovery Mode
- Wipe data/Reset Factory > Wipe Chache > Wipe Dalvik Chache (Countless times. Failed)
- Download the original Stock ROM (v4.2.2) and Install it (Same error. Failed)
- Editting ROM data + watching youtube video how to do it
(There's difference between my ROM's Files with in the Video's File, the File of mine started with 'GT' but in the vid started with 'cm' AND the content inside the file is different, in the video is subfolders but in my File is just 2 File: tar.md5 and a .dll. Failed)

My hypothesis so far
1. Download Mode
The problem is in the USB Driver or unsupport Cable
2. Recovery Mode
The problem is, the ROM i used is not the ROM for recovery Installation, the ROM is just for ODIN Installation.
