Cant get to Odin

Hey Guys,
I bought an N7100 from Kijiji and I i am trying to get it rooted and install clockworkmod, however I cant get into odin, every time I try (home, vol down, power) it takes me to this "Android system recovery <3e>" screen. Can someone please help me?
When i get to the "Android system recovery <3e>" still get the options to flash from sd card but when i try flashing it fail regardless of what i try to flash.

I think you mixed up something.
Volume down+home+power button is download mode. Which is for odin flashing purpose.
I do believe you wanna root your phone by update thru recovery. The 3e recovery is samsung stock recovery, you can root your phone thru update related file.
To flash or install rom thru sd card you must be in custom recovery not the 3e stock recovery. That means you must be root your phone 1st thru stock recovery.
Use search button and find * dr.ketan note 2 rooting guide. It is most comprehensive guide to newbie. ( and remember to press thanks button on dr.ketan tread.)
Warning: check you model thru antutu scores before do anything.
Good luck mate.

Hey,
Thanks for the help, I have done some rooting and custom recovery installs before, however for some reason this phone goes directly to the Stock recovery when i press vol down + home + power.
p.s. I did check in Antutu the model number it says GT-N7100

Sound interesting. ....if you press volume up+home+power what mode you get?
Im really have no ideal at all. Although I knew same of the devices like korean galaxy s having different way to boot into download mode if compare with galaxy s international model.
If I were u, I will :
- double check device s model and bootloader.
- flash related stock rom thru pc odin.
- root devices with cf root thru pc odin .
And see what happen.

when I press the Volume up + home + power I get something called "Factory Mode" with "Full Test/ Item Test/ Clear eMMC/ Reboot" as options.
I just want to know how to install recovery then I will all set.
How can I flash the related stock when I can't get into the downloading mode?

Mate just suggesting politely that you should search but here are my 2 bits,
1) for cwm , press volume up+power+home simultaneously; I think there is another method (and a YouTube video, check madmacks cm10.1 ROM thread)
2) for download mode, power+volume down
3) you cannot get into official recovery , only the 2nd init recovery (like cwm) is user accessible

Unable to flash philz touch 6.41.6

i just flashed Phoenix V18.8 rom and when i reboot, i plan to check on the recovery mode but it shown me download mode instead of recovery mode...
both power button + home + up/down goes into download mode...
try to use odin3.07 to flash philz_touch_6.41.6-n7100.tar.md5 which i get from here http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7100
but every times it just said " Pass " and reboot....and goes in back to my Phoenix rom(i mean go into android system)....and i power it off...try again...still became download mode...any help?? :crying::crying::crying:

You do know that go into recovery mode you got to press volume UP ,home button and power button, (volume down ,home and power is for download mode) Just retry pressing the correct buttons. Doens't phoenix rom have extended power menu where when you click on reboot from the ROM/Android system you get options of going into recovery/download/reboot?

Yes I do press the correct button,
Up+home+power
And
I did reatart into recovery but it turns me into download mode...which I don't know why after I flashed v18.8 phoenix rom....
It's not exactly the same as down+home+power download mode wherby this step show me whether I want to go into download mode by pressing up or restart by pressing down...
But the "recovery mode" which turns into download mode...it didn't ask me anything and directly turns into download mode

Is it safe for that? Since phoenix rom request me to use philz touch?
I have tried flashing CWM recovery but it ends up with screen flickering or flashing with Galaxy Note II logo if I enter the recovery mode

A recovery is a recovery what a rom states is what they think works best to flash it. If you are having trouble I would use twrp as its good at flashing roms to.

Turn off your phone,
Press three buttons simultaneously &
Release power button when note2 N7100 logo appears.
Plus, install mobile odin pro from play store & Forget PC Odin things. & flash Stock Roms , recovery(all .Tar files) stuff at your fingertips & on the go.
Except if you want to flash bootloader then of course it requires PC odin.

How to Enter Recovery Mode on LG G Pro

shutdown it down - turn off the phone wait few secs before going to next step
hold volume up button while holding power button also
when lg logo appear release/unpress power button just for a sec or two and then press and hold it back
Done
if its not working, it must be, u dont have recovery installed
use freegee to install one

hi
I dont understand
I try alot off time but dont secsuss

Assuming that the phone's power is off:
Hold down volume up button, then push the power button and hold it down. Count to 4 and stop holding the power button, but keep holding the volume up button. You should see the lg logo and then your recovery 5 ~ 7 seconds afterwards. Btw, which recovery are you using?

Custom recovery?
Is there a way to install a custom recovery on this phone? I read conflicting reports. I'm on 4.4.2 rooted and would to make a back up of my system, add zips, etc.

Have you try freegee in the play store? It installs the older version of cwm or twrp, but it's a start. Once you install the custom recovery, you can try flashing the newer version such as Philz cwm or newer version of twrp.

thanks
i do all this but no chances to enter into recovery
can help me with a video for that method

check if u have recovery mode installed
get FreeGee
and boot to it

I tried that before and got error messages. Some people say it worked and some say they had to wipe everything and it still did not work. Maybe the newer version works as I tried this 2 months ago.

Are you rooted?

for twrp recovery this key combination is not working, please help to go to recovery through key combination....

its working here

i'll try to help u
first just make sure that your device is rooted, download Optimus G Pro Custom recovery (try to search on google, i found many links last time i download it), install that .apk on your device and then run it, choose flash recovery, and then choose reboot recovery. you will have recovery now. hope this helps. :angel:

Heyy! I wanna install twrp and then install cm12 nightly but I've read on other threads that flashing twrp directly will brick my phone and I'll have to install cwm first then cwm touch then twrp from there but on another thread it tells me to directly install twrp from freegee on stock JB.
Can anyone explain this to me? It's really confusing and I wanna know if flashing twrp will brick my phone. Im on stock kk but ill go back to JB and try it. Someone tell me if thats a good idea?

While you're on stock ROMs, just use Philz Touch. But if you ever go to like CyanogenMod or any other non-stock ROM. Flash that ROM with Philz Touch, then flash official TWRP. After, you can stay on TWRP once running a custom ROM.

LG G3 stock in loop

Hello thanks for reading.
First the device was running cynogenmod mod then I try to update it by the recovery and didn't work so I tried doing wipe for dalvik and that either didn't work and took a long time my mistake here that I turned off the device so now when I turn it on it is stock to LG LOGO and if I try to enter download mode it goes to fastboot command.

Are you able to enter in TWRP (or cwm)?
if you have a custom recovery try the steps below:
1. Turn off the device
2. Volume down + power up
3. When LG logo display release just power up for a second, than press again power up...
4. Choose "yes" twice (if you have custom recovery will not do a factory reset, will just enter in custom recovery).
