bell Recovery mode trick

1. download and open odin 4.03
2. With oden 4.03 running connect the phone
3. remove battery
4. hold volume- home and power while inserting the battery
5. smile you should be in recovery
(worked for we with a bell phone with 3 button disabled with the connect to computer screen)

getting into recovery mode isn't hard -- you can use ADB tools and it's MUCH easier
the problem is getting into download mode -- I was told these are different ?

You can go into download mode with adb too or something similar, i'll try to find the link when i get to my desktop

Can those who have 3 button disable try wht the OP suggested ? I dont understand wht u 2 are talking about :S
Yes getting into recovery/download is easy w/o 3 button when u have a working firmware, its when u don't u end up a with a $600 brick. If what OP says is true, it should allow u 2 enter recovery/download even in a situation like the one previously described.

Wow - if this works it could really help a lot of folks out... anybody without 3-button recovery want to try this?

Tried the procedure described but no luck at all (at least with my phone). Thanks for the trick though.
I'm already sick and tired of having to cross my fingers every time I flash a firmware via ODIN, knowing that I only have one shot to get it right.

Assuming if this procedure works, will the phone be able to get into recovery mode the next time without connecting to Odin?
If it doesn't, the phone is still going to be a brick when it fails to boot.

anyone got link for Odin4?
i'm still using Odin3

I tried this also. Doesn´t work for me.
Seems rather pointless plugging it in to Odin if the computer cannot recognize the phone, if it could...then we wouldn´t have a problem to begin with.

how can i get odin to read my device if my device is stuck in the screen mentioned and when i enter download mode through usb connecting, takes me to the warning screen!! but when i press volume up it doesnt go into the next step, it goes straight to the same screen that i mentioned. thanks for replying btw, your the only person thats helped me out since i started searching for help.

Did you try the button combo to get into download/odin mode? If so you need to get a usb jig to force it into download mode so you can flash back to stock via odin
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Same thing happened to me. Just have Odin open and ready to go, plug phone into DL mode just like normal, when the screen pops up give Odin a second or two and then you should see the com light up yellow as Odin recognise your device. Start the flash and let Odin do it's thing and it will reboot and all will be fine.

Ok, just tried this method, when i get into download mode i click vol up and continues to the screen im stuck on. odin still didnt recognize my phone

im having the same issue with my phone. i googled around it saw ppl with the same issue, but when ppl fix their problem they didnt say how. i left a post on 3 of the threads (including 1 not on xda) but i havent received a response. i tried the hold the buttons method, the delete kies method, the just let odin flash a rom over but when odin gets to "cashe" it fails everytime. i hope i can find a fix, cuz ppl are having this problem and fixing there phone pretty quickly.

yeah, i re-installed the samsung kies drivers and deleted running apps in task manager. i also re-installed phone drivers to my cpu. and i re-installed odin to the cpu and restarted the cpu after each method. nothing worked!!! i also tried holding the vol+home+power button, but the error message just pops up.

Try the second link in the second post. It worked for me. The post with the headline Odin Mode

if your screen has a pc and a warning symbol you still can odin,
open oding and conect your phone to pc while that screen you are saying pops up then see if odin recognizes..

My device is read by Odin and it flashes things. Once I flash a working rom though, it bootloops and I have no recovery to wipe data. I've never been able to get the repartition function to work
And the error I keep receiving every time almost is an error about line 1876. I have no idea what this is. I Googled it and I can't find it.

FWIW My phone would not go into download mode to save my life. I then decided to try the OE Samsung cable instead of the motorola cable I had been using and it worked right away.
Troubleshooting 101, start with the basics.

So I have the same problem as the OP. The only screen I boot to is mobile ! PC in Odin mode. This happened after I was rooted with my stock rom and CWM, but tried to do the OTA update from Kies.
My device is recognized by Odin utility, so I tried what the 2nd poster put and used Odin to flash the stock kernel (UVKID tar) from the PDA button and it failed. I used the default settings in Odin, but maybe I didn't set one right? I have attached a screen shot.
So now do I use Odin to flash the stock recovery? I'm working on making a USB jig in case that will help.
UPDATE: I was able to use Odin to flash the Stock Recovery. Now it boots up like normal. I would like to try the OTA update through Kies again, but I'm worried. Any suggestions?

OK the somewhat hidden Firmware Recovery built into Kies is not to hard to find,
First you will need to write on a piece of paper your S/N and your Model #, the same way it is written under the battery on the sticker.
Second boot your phone into download mode and connect it to the computer.
Third open Kies, select the tools drop down menu.
Now you have a choice. Select Firmware Emergency Recovery to recover your current firmware version... or select Firmware Upgrade and Initialization to install the latest OTA, either way just fallow the steps on screen and when done your will have a working phone.
hit the thanks button if this helped

Bro you should check the dates out xD thx anyway though

[Q] Accidentally used S5830 ROM, help

By a big mistake, I used a S5830 rom (S5830XWKT7) and odin gladly didit. Now the phone boots fine but i can't make calls. I want to get back to S5660 rom but I can't enter download mode; SAMSUNG logo just stays on when I press vol- + mode + power...
When i enter vol+ mode + power, it goes into some ARM9 RAW mode...
Is there anyway I can get this thing to get into download mode so I can load the original firmware?
I know I am stupid but, what is done is done and looking for solutions.

Try more button combinations, but better yet: install the Android SDK, and use the command adb reboot download. Should work.
Good luck,
Darkshado

You should press vol down, not up.
Edit.
Sorry, I misread your post, you already did that
Edit2:
I found a post by phiexz which might help (so all credits to him)
Is your rom rooted ?
download "terminal emulator" and open it and write:

[Q] sgs3 failed rooting attempt

I tried to root my sgs3 today and wasn't paying attention and used the wrong guide. I used the stuff for the non-us phones. Now when I turn my phone on, the only thing that shows up is "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I've tried using kies to reset it but I had never used it previously so it is unable to connect to the phone. It basically has 2 states now, off and the one described. is there any way to fix this?

Try flashing the stock firmware using Odin and then root your phone(with the correct guide this time )

how do i use odin? ive been trying to find something on how to fix this for most of the night and ive seen a couple places where it says that but when i ask how they say to go to the download thing and i cant get to that anymore. is there another way use it?

Enter download mode by pressing the three keys power button+home key+volume down.
If it doesnt work enter recovery mode by pressing power button+ home key+volume up
And if both won't work you might have to use a usb jig

listen to what people are saying to you. go into download mode. Your phone turns on and it should be able to go into download mode now. I wouldn't mess with command prompt if i were you or your friend. Once your in download mode download the stock image for your carrier and the correct phone model and flash it through odin

Pull the batter and put it back after a few seconds, then press and hold power, home, and volume down until the custom os warning screen appears. Then press volume up to confirm download mode and use Odin to flash.

Just to clear things up. When the device says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." It is putting itself into download mode and you should see the normal download mode text at the top of the screen to clarify "Product Name, Custom Binary, ETC". The previous posters are correct, you must flash via odin. Follow the guide here very carefully and it should be fixed.

Remember the recovery screen you are seeing IS download mode so pretend you already put the phone in download mode and follow it from there.
Best of luck!

Can someone tell me if i should see some kind of action when using Odin apart from the clock?
I'm already almost 1 hour waiting to finish and nothing happens.
I know the phone is connected, I know clock is running but nothing else.
On my phone i only get this:
"Emergency Dload Mode
(ARM9 mode)
SAMSUNG"
I get this after i've been waiting for 20 minutes and unplug it from the phone. After i get an image with a phone and a computer with a yellow sign on the midle, and then when i press the keys to get in to download mode i get this "Emergency message".
Please someone tell me if i should keep waiting or if this is wasted time...
Thanks
