cant get into recovery mode - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok i have a tab3 model sm-t210r and i cant get into recovery mode to reset it. I've tried the up volume with and without the home button combo and same thing with the down volume..

You're not suppose to release the home button, just the power button once the logo pops up from reboot.......idk if that's what you're doing wrong.

Volume up button disabled - can't get into download mode

Hey guys, I've bought a galaxy s2 (t-mobile) and tried to root it. I held the vol up and down button while holding the power button, got into "press up to continue, down to cancel" screen, but I keep pressing up and nothing happens?!
The volume up button does work when the phone is on and I can make the ringer louder, but not during the download mode. Is there a fix?

are you trying to get into download/odin mode? if so you hold up/down and insert the usb cable while still holding down the up/down. I didn't think power button was involved in the matter but maybe there are 2 ways. Anyhow, try that maybe it'll work.. Did you update the phone to ics thru kies yet? Maybe that flash could do something helpful..

Sorry, I did mean that with the holding up/down button and USB cable. I am trying to get into download/odin mode. But I only get to the screen where it says to push volume up to continue, or down to cancel. It is the right screen, I just cant push up, nothing happens...
Also, I did not try to update the phone to ics thru kies yet. How do I do that?? You mean the regular software update in the settings menu?

Ok, so I updated to 4.0.3 via Kies and now have ICS on the phone. I tried booting into odin/download mode, and once I'm in the warning screen "A custom OS can cause critical.....bla bla bla.....Volume Up: Continue, Volume down: Cancel (restart phone), the volume up button does NOT work and still seems disabled.
The button itself (up button) is not broken, as it works when the phone is on to make the ringer louder.
Any other ideas? I'm really confused why it won't work ??
Anyone? Any help would be great
same problem here
If u can get into recovery mode and r using cmw hit both up/down buttons at the same time. Ill take a thumb and place it in the middle of the buttons then push them (dont hold them tap them) after doing this itll say something like rockers disabled or something like that. When I used cmw Ive done that a few times and didnt know it and when in cwm I couldnt use the volume buttons anymore to make a selection. Do this to enable the buttons in recovery mode I never noticed if it only took effect in both modes or just in recovery mode but its worth a shot.

Hm I have the same problem, just getting "RECOVERY BOOTING....".
How exactly did you solve this, I tried what wrote but still only RECOVERY BOOTING....
Edit: Ah ok, managed it, very tricky, you have to release the Volume and Home key just in the right moment while the screen cycles.

Could you please describe it furthe rhow you got it working?
I have tried:
press vol down + home + power...... the screen cycle... keep pressing the power button... release the home and vol down button... and press the home and vol down button
Should the power button be pressed at all time?
PS:
I managed to get it booting to download mode one time after flashing the rom via odin.
I then flashed the recovery.tar found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53093720&postcount=8
after that, I get this in my top left corner.
RECOVERY BOOTING.....

Yeah, keep pressing the power key the whole time.
Press POWER - VOL DOWN - HOME
Screen Cycle, while the screen is off,
Release VOL DOWN - HOME, and keep Pressing POWER
And one sec after press VOL DOWN - HOME again.
And it will work.
Note it took me ~30min to get it right, so just keep trying till it works.

yes.. the power button should be pressed all the time.. after one time (FIRST) screen recycle.. release the vol down + home.. and press again vol down + home when the screen recycle for the SECOND time (dark screen)... you will get into DOWNLOAD MODE
may i suggest.. dont flash via HUB (like the one u found on your monitor).. plug your USB to the MOTHERBOARD USB PORT...

So i tried everything on this thread to get my tab out of the boot loop but nothing helps and my tab won't switch off for long than 5 seconds. Does anyone know what i can do?
You don't need to press Home button, just keep power+vol down pressed, and you will get to DL mode in like 10-20 sec

Bootloader Issue

I am having a problem with my phone. I installed CM 11 on it via TWRP 2.6.3 but for some reason the flash didn't workout well and the phone was stuck in the boot animation. The problem is now I am not able to access bootloader because of a faulty vol down button. Before it would work some time, but now have tried it several times but can't do any thing. It just recognizes the power button press and turns the phone on and it gets stuck in bootloader. How do I get in recover to solve this problem.
Any advice?

hold down home, volume up and power button, screen will go off, then come back on with buttons flashing then screen will go off again, then when it comes back on press all three buttons again but dont hold them.
Or another alternative would be pressing both up volume button and power button at the same time up until the first LG logo appears. After which release both buttons. The screen will darken and butons will light up. Another indication you have successfully invoked the powers of cwm would be when you se the "Secure boot error" message at the top part when you see the lg logo.

That sucks to hear man. But are you sure that's the right combination to get into the bootloader?
I'm on the tmobile version note 10+ and you have to shut the phone off and press and hold the Bixby button and the volume up button. Not sure if it's the same for other regions though.

phone plugged into pc.. press vol down and side key until screen goes off.. quickly press vol up vol down and side key until dl mode comes up, basically when screen goes off hold down all buttons until dl mode comes up..
if u end up trying to hold vol down and side key what happens is if its taking a while u end up doing a hard reset and device will seem to not be doing anything bcuz u keep resetting it. at least this is how i get to dl mode in these type situations.
