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.

[Q] Did a MEGA WIPE on SGH-I747 and have completely deleted everything. Plz help?

I would like to apologize in advance if I posted in the wrong category (I think it's the right category). As the title says I have done a mega wipe with my Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747) and completely removed the OS along with the System Recovery and everything. It is basically just the phone and nothing inside. When I plug it in the computer, my windows OS makes a sound signaling it detected a device but then nothing happens. I do see a red light turning on my Galaxy S3, I think it says it's charging. Tried accessing the recovery mode, but no luck.... So my question is...is there any way to reflash an OS? Thank you so much XDA!!

If you can get to download mode, you can use Odin to flash a rom. Why would you wipe the recovery partition?

You need some JTAG action.

Hi My friend this is happened for me b4 and this what I did
1- take your battery out for about 5 Minutes.
2- Download Odin and The firmware orginal no rooting no custom recovery ** I started with ICS from Samsung-update.com***
3- Start Odin Don't add firmware yet.
4- Put your phone in Download mode by holding Volum down+ home+power and when the screen come push volum up to go to download mode.
5- Now connect your phone to PC and Odin will see your phone on which com.
6- Now add the Firmware by clicking on PDA when it say ready just click start on odin.
7- You are back on orginal Rom ( No root or Custom recovery) and you can go from there.
Good Luck
IF I Help Hit Thank Botton

JTAG repair is done to your phone by an expert with special equipment. You would need to bring your phone to them or ship it off to be fixed. Google '(your city) Jtag repair' . No boot but still having a sound from connecting to PC is a good sign that your bootloader is corrupted.

If the computer makes as noise when you plug it in, try for download mode... Even If the screen of the phone doesn't turn on try to connect and use Odin, sometimes Odin will pick it up...

[Q] can't use recovery mode.

Hello my friends.
I got a Galaxy Note II here - but my sister decided to play with it and now its locked on the 'too many wrong patterns screen'.
To make things even worst i haven't associated it with a google account (i recently bought it from a friend of mine).
When i try to hard-reset it the phone goes to the famous android logo with red exclamation - i think he rooted the phone and didn't told me.
Anyway when i get on this screen if i press the 'back' key on the phone i can access the 'Android System Recovery' - but i can't select any option.
I know i should use vol up/down to scrool betweeen options and power to select - but i press power and nothing happens.
Tried also pressing the menu button - nothing happened also.
Another problem is, for some reason i don't know the phone won't connect to my computer - only in charge mode.
Tried tons of things lots of times but it isn't showing up no matter what i do.
I tried also to call me from another phone and get in any menu - but when i do that i can only select normal options (send an sms, refuse call, accept).
I would like to hear suggestions from you guys since i've ran out of resources - i don't know what else i can do in order to recover the phone.
Thanks in advance
additional note: i just know its model is i9220+
It accepts WCDMA and a GSM SIM.
Pablo

oh yeah
those are the things i readed in order to find *ANY* solution:

if you don't have any important stuff on the phone...why don't you just flash it with stock firmware using Odin?? in download mode?

This is what i want.
But my computer do not detect the phone so i can't go into download mode.
I don't have anything important there - not worried about what is on its memory.
like i said when i plug the phone into the computer it only starts charging and nothing more.
is there 'any trick' i can try heh ?
ps: i installed kies, uinstalled, installed samsung usb drivers, installed, etc...well what i mean is that i tried most of those tricks to get the phone detected but no success - maybe flashing directly from my SD ?
also - i 'suspect' my phone is that n7100 . since i don't have its manual and can't access its menu either i just suspect because its from brazil and those n7100 models are like 'international'.

ok from how you are explaining stuff I'm not sure if you understand the flashing procedure thoroughly and risk involved
1. flashing can be risky
2. you need to download Odin example version 1.8
3. when your phone just powers on you need to know the EXACT model number example N7105 or N7100 or any other version..this is very important as if you flash a wrong firmware you could destroy your phone completely
4. find a stock ROM for your phone on xda or at samfirmware.com
5. install Samsung drivers or install Samsung kies but while Odin is on Samsung kies services must be closed
6. keep your phone in download mode by switching off your phone then HOLD CENTER/HOME BUTTON + VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON
7. your phone may warn you and I believe may ask you to press volume up button to continue
8. then you are now in download mode.
9.open Odin
10. connect your phone to your pc via USB cable..give it time to register/install itself as a new hardware..etc etc as you may see new hardware detected pop up if running on Windows
10. a yellow COM port will appear on Odin showing the phone is connected
11. place the stock ROM file on the PDA section UNTICK REPARTITION , TICK REBOOT
12. this should flash your phone....however my procedure is a vague way of how to go about it... you may need to see a detailed step by step procedure on XDA if you are new to this.
I take no responsibility for any damages...I hope you almost everything we do here on XDA had risks involved
or the safer option take to a Samsung repair center!!

To get into download mode all you need to do is turn of the phone and hold power home volume down until you see the warning sign.

Put device on download mod and tell us what information it displays
You need not to connect device with PC to get downbload mode. Do this.
Vol Down + Home + Power
then vol up in warning screen to finally get download mod.

Okay
when i put the device into download mode (vol down + home + power) - it goes to a 'factory mode'
then options i have here are:
Full Test
Item Test
Test Report
Clear eMMC
Version
Reboot
And i can't choose any of 'em , no matter what i press.
Same happens when i go into recovery mode.
For getting into recovery o mode i i press the following combination: vol up + home + power
Then i get the android logo when a red exclamation - but when i press the 'back' button i can get into the "Android System Recovery <3e>", where i have the following options:
Reboot System Now
apply update from sdcard
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
backup user data
restore user data
and same thing - i can't select any of 'em - no matter what button combination i press.
I tried plugging the phone into three computers none of 'em detected the phone.
Sometimes after many power on/off the computer detects it but instantly loses also - its something very quickly.
I can't get into any of the menus of the phone since i'm stuck in the 'too many wrong patterns' screen and i have no associated google account.
Also when i plug the phone in the pattern screen the only thing it says its about charging - nothing about plug in usb or anything like that.
I'm a bit used with flashing (did it a lot on my RAZR XT910) and i know all risks.
I've also found out my note ii is model GT-N7100 (this is the one sold in brazil) - i couldn't get its manual but my bet is going to be this - samsung service center won't repair the phone without the fiscal coupon .
I'll try more and keep this post update - but if anyone got an hint about this just tell me
Thanks in advance
Pablo

Your device seems to be clone one and not original N7100.
Have you purchased from authorized centre?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Your device is not a Samsung phone, you said as much in your first post.
Asking us to help is pointless, you need to talk to other clone owners and see what they have done.

Oh okay.
I tought it also but wasn't sure.
I'm really sorry for taking your time
It was looking like Samsung because of its back
There's an stick with:
MODEL: i9220+
FCC ID: A3L SHI9220+
For information call: 1 888 987 4357
Bluetooth
CE01688
IMEI
and Made in Korea
There are also entries to:
WCDMA SIM
GSM SIM
and SD Card
But when i power it on there's nothing related to Samsung in fact - i never get anything related to Samsung.
Only android logo like a rocket.
It seems to be running an android 4.1 because of the interface
Anyway i'll see what i can do and thanks in advance for all the help
Again, sorry for taking your time.
Pablo
EDIT:
A Thhread talking about my phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909516
It seems its a Note II Clone really.
I'll keep searching information around XDA and google.
Again, thanks in advance

Hold on Vol up + Menu and then Power key for 4~8sec it'd reboot into recovery mode. Otherwise remove phones battery & insert and try boot into recovery/download menu.

I'm not able do anything except boot in download mode, but then i can't do anything, Odin still don't see phone

Do you've right drivers installed for PC & os?, because of missing drivers it doesn't show the phone.

what m.b.jikre said or make sure you use original samsung usb cable to connect your phone and try another USB port on your computer/laptop

for some mysterious reason, using win 7 installed on my mac.......works . now i run cyanogen, so far without problema, just after every reboot of phone i must agree to terms of play store

same problem
Having the same problem, except I don't have Odin, the blue guy keeps appearing when I try to boot into recovery or download mode. Using Samsung galaxy S2 gt-i9100. I rebooted my PC as suggested by the cyanogenmod installer, but now it doesn't detect device. Pls help

[Q] Hard Bricked AT&T Galaxy S3. Please help!

So I installed the unlock bootloader app called EZUnlock that was on the PlayStore and when I powered off my phone and tried to turn it back on it wouldn't boot. Not even to bootloader. Its just off and blank screen. When I plug it into the computer all I get is a driver with a weird name on it and Odin doesn't recognize it. Any ideas on how I can fix it guys? Thanks!!

Can you get into download mode?
http://www.android.gs/download-mode-galaxy-s3/
If you can, then you should be able to fix it. Once you're in download mode, Odin should recognize it. From there you can flash the proper firmware.
If you can't get into download mode, you can buy a usb jig from ebay that forces the phone into download mode. That has saved my ass many times.

Nope. Doesn't even go into Download mode. Alright thanks mate. I'll give that a go and see if it works. Cheers!

Time to JTAG as the other person said.

I am unable to locate this app on the play store.... It looks like it was removed however were you rooted prior to attempting to use this app... If so a trick I found when my phone will not power up is to remove the battery and hold the power button for 1-2 minutes to clear the cache and DVM then reinsert the battery and attempt to power on to boot loader or recovery while holding the power button for at least 1-2 minutes...if this fails then you can attempt to use a USB jig or send it out for JTAG service.... Hope this helps

the att sghi747 comes with unlocked bootloader.
err on the side of kindness
