Beware that if you are thinking of downloading this app to change the look of your recovery, if you are running TWRP, you will have issues. This was designed for phone mode viewing and since TWRP loads and runs in landscape or tablet mode, on our Galaxy Note 8.0 you are going to be missing some key buttons. The reboot button for one. And if you try to install another recovery, thinking this will save your butt, think again. The start or install button that starts the install is also cut off. The only visible button after picking the file is the add another zip button so you are essentially stuck in recovery.
I tried using the volume up and down buttons to get around but that option is not avaliable for some reason.
The way to get out of it is to have a recovery that you can install via Odin. This was the only way to get out of recovery. While stuck in recovery, power down then hold home, volume down and the power button all at the same time to get into download mode. Open Odin, plug in your tablet and hit PDA. Find your tar recovery file and hit open to add the file to Odin. Then hit start. It should only take a couple seconds to complete.
I just wanted to post this as I tried the app and am running a GT-N5110.
I hope this helps to inform someone before they install the app and screw up their tablet.

I'm not sure what is going on with my e4g. I am trying to just get back to factory from Calkulin 3.0 but I can't even get download mode to stay up. Once i get to download mode, my phone just reboots. I have tried flashing again form recovery but then I get the phone up and running and the power button wont work. Could it be the actual physical button?

Sounds like button. But also on some older versions of CWM you had to 'cycle' through the volume up and down buttons a few times to get them to function properly. pressing down, down down, up, up up. etc.
Also try powering off. Pull the battery for a full 2 earth minutes.
Then put hte battery in. And when your ready to power on press and hold the Power Button AND the Volume Down button till you get to the first screen (download mode questionaire) then use the Volume up key to confirm.
Hopefully that will work. But it could be your button or some other issue.
Once in download mode start an Odin One-Click from sfhub or rwilco12 on your PC.
Then plug your phone in to you PC and install it.
Good luck.
If you still can't get it to work, Rom Toolbox Pro (and most likely the lite version as well) has a rebooter that will do a number of things, including put you into download mode.

Hellooooo Sprint store, give me new phone...
If you can get to CWM can't it reboot into download mode without pressing anything?
Or if you can boot into the ROM how about from ADB or terminal "reboot download"?
Only other thing I can suggest - and it depends on what CWM you have and what ROM/kernel you have - is wiping and flashing through CWM or restoring a backup. But I would suggest putting that on here and wait for someone to verify whether it's safe or not to do. (Agat's ICS kernel + repacks are safe, for example.)
thanks to those who offered suggestions. I went to the sprint store and it was in fact a "sticky" power button. They said it was a $35 fee for non insured phones but they did mine for free! score! thanks again guys
I've currently attempted to root my Galaxy and everything went well until I tried to back up my applications.
I can't get clockworkmod to work, I hold vol up, power, and home and it shows my the android character laying back with a red ! in Android System Recovery.
Not really sure what to do. I've been searching for possible solutions but I can't find anything.
I followed this method, http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/
The FAQ section under it talks about two files that should be deleted as it overrides CWM but file explorer isn't finding them for me.
Just use the Root66 rooting method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687 .
It sounds like whatever you did, it did not work and you still have stock recovery. Just do it through Odin as described in the thread linked - it is very easy.
Any possible chance of me bricking my phone by adding additional files along with the ones I've added? CWM seems to be working through the ROM Manager app but not working through Vol Up, Home, and Power.
You press power. Wait a second or two, then hold vol up and home.
If you hold power, the phone will never turn on. If you wait too long, the phone will boot into the OS. It's a timing thing.
I've done that and that's how I get sent to Android System Recovery.
I've downloaded CWM through ROM Manager but I can only access CWM right after I download I. It worked last night but today when I tried accessing CWM it sent me to Android System Recovery. I downloaded CWM again then it worked.
For some reason it seems CWM isn't sticking onto my device.
Oh, I misunderstood. To fix that, flash CWM (version 6.0.3.0) again. And when you reboot your device, before your device boots into the OS, drop into recovery mode. It will allow you to disable the script that keeps overwriting CWM for you (you will get this option when you attempt to exit CWM).
Oh wow, I did what you said my phone rebooted. I did vol up, power, and home and got sent into CWM. I think its working now
Thank you so much bro

They are crawling out of the woodwork.
There is nothing wrong with CWM. There is nothing wrong (mostly) with TWRP. They both work. Pretty well, in fact. Though, I still have issues with TWRP pretending I pressed the back button when I didn't.
Since you are on TWRP, tell me if you can reproduce this: Go into the timezone settings and start selecting different timezones as fast as you can (also works with typing filenames for nandroids, but this is quicker for reproduction). What happens on my device is I get knocked back into the settings page. It is 100% reproducible, but inconsistent with presses/time required to make it crash. I have seen other people complain about this, but not nearly as many as I would expect, given the severity and prevalence of the bug.
When I turn my phone on, goes straight to downloading mode.
I was currently running jellybomb, plugged the phone in via usb. I transferred Illusion rom to my external SD card. Held the power button, pressed reboot into recovery. Phone restarted and went directly into download mode.
Even when I pull the battery, whether I do vol up home pwr or normal phone turn on it goes directly to downloading mode.
I see the Galaxy Note 2 logo for a split second.
Not sure what the heck happened but I'm freaking the heck out. I hope someone can help me and give me good news?
Let it go to download and flash a stock rom maybe? Not sure why its doing it. Soounds like system and recovery were wiped. Giving it no where to load into. As long as you have download you should be fine. Just find a one click. Flash it from your computer. Then try recovery. Or you can just odin the twrp recovery and not odin the rom. Then try booting into recovery. Either way goodluck. One clicks can be found in the development forums. Twrp can be found at goo.im

I have this problem often. In fact since I cant odin my phone anywhere but home I dont flash roms at all. The only saving grace is no new tw roms getting released lately. I thought it was recovery dependent but it happens on both types for me.

To go Into recovery mode hold Home +Volumen up and Power button , when you see Samsung Logo hold only Home and Vulome up for the next around 20 sec that you See the recovery menu.
Please help me !
I have the same problem, I've took the steps to aquire recovery but nothing happens
On my 8.0 recovery is power+volume up, no home button. Don't know if that makes a difference or not.
Try downloading an app like " rebooter" from the play store. See if that will get u into it.
Also I use power/vol up to get into recovery.

dude where can I get the recovery? please do share tge link ... I'm having the same problem!!
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids version (SM-T2105). It is only a Wifi tablet. I never rooted and USB debugging is not enabled (Keep this in mind). It is pure stock firmware. My 9yr old daughter has locked herself out. The Lock Screen password does not work. Because I can not gain access, I do not know exactly what firmware version it has or enable USB debugging (again - keep this in mind). The tablet will not boot to recovery mode, no matter what button combination I use. It only boots back to the Lock Screen. I tried in Regular Mode and Safe Mode. The only other mode that works is Download Mode (for Odin).
I am trying to do a Factory Reset, but I can not get into Recovery Mode. I tried flashing the stock firmware using Odin, but that does not work even after everthing PASSED with green lights (Odin 3.10.7). The tablet just reboots back to the same Lock Screen. Also, because the tablet is not enabled with USB debugging I can not do anything with ADB.
So basically I am stuck on the Lock Screen, and cant get into Recovery Mode in order to do a Factory Reset. Also, Odin flash is not working, even though everything says completed successfully. I have read in another post that other people are experiancing the same issue not being able to get into Recovery Mode (even when the tablet is not locked out and working fine). See this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/help/samsung-galaxy-tab-3-7-kids-t2105-t-t3294954
Can anyone help me. I beleive the tablet is stock in a soft brick that doesn't allow access to Recovery Mode. And the Locked Screen password is preventing me from getting into the table OS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And my 9yr old daughter will be happy again...
Thanks,
ggee
Hello,
I'm not sure which one of these did the trick for me, but I was able to get into recovery mode. I'm not sure if your three tables are rooted or not, but I don't think it matters. Try these two methods:
Method #1:
Technically, I think I just stumbled on to this one after successfully completing Method #2 (below). But it's worth trying it first before moving on to Method #2.
-Hold the Home + Volume Up + Power buttons together at the same time (just like the normal process).
-Now, you will probably need to try this next step a couple of time before you get it right. This is because it happens pretty fast and you need to time it perfectly.
-Notice that when the screen turns on, the actual first thing that happens is that the the screen backlight turns on and glows first. This happens first and a split second later the first Samsung logo flashes.
-You need to let go of all three buttons at the same time as soon as you see the backlight turn on, but before the Samsung logo flashes.
This is the sweet spot, and it happens pretty fast. But once you do it at the right time, the tablet will go black again and then the recovey mode will show up. It works for me every time.
Method #2:
I thought somehow the recovey mode portion of the firmware had become corrupter somehow. So I decided to flash a custom recovery using Odin (since at that time I hadn't stumbled onto Method #1 yet). Make sure to download and flash the CWM or TWRP .tar file for Odin (I personally have always liked CWM over TWRP).
-Make sure you have all the correct USB drivers for the tablet installed on your computer.
-Open Odin and load the .tar file that you downloaded into the PDA or AP slot (depending on your Odin version).
-Let Odin check the m5d verification for successful authorization.
-Once Odin is ready, then boot the tablet into Download Mode (Home + Volume Down + Power button)
-Connect the table to a USB cable that is attached to your computer's main USB port.
-Odin should now recognize that the table it connected to a valid COM port.
-Click <Start> button on Odin and it should flash the costum recovey .tar file pretty quickly.
-The tablet will simultaneously flash a progress bar and start to automatically reboot (also pretty quickly).
-Disconnect the tablet from the USB cable now.
If the tablet does not automatically reboot to the new custom recovery screen, then just power off the tablet completely. Wait 30 seconds, and then boot the table to recovery mode use the Method #1 shown above. You should now be able to go into the new custom recovery mode you flashed with Odin (CMW or TWRP). It should all work now.
From this point you can download and install SuperSU to add root (if you want to).
Let me know if this works for you.

galaxy tab 3 model GT-P5210 rebooting cant enter recovery mode what can i do i reinstall software it doese the same things need to fix it
Greetings XDA Developers,
Newbie here. I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab S (SM T705). I was able to root it a few weeks ago and I decided to install a custom recovery (TWRP) using an app from the Playstore named "TWRP Manager". I didn't hesitate to do so using this method because I was able to install TWRP on my GT I9300 successfully from the past using this app. However, after being prompted by the app that the recovery was successfully installed and needs to reboot the device, my tab was stuck on start up screen ( See attached photo ). I tried long pressing the power button but nothing happened. I waited until the device ran out of battery and when it did, I plugged in the charger and I'm back at the same screen. After google-ing some possible solutions, I tried to boot it into recovery but was unsuccessful, however, I was able to boot into download mode.
I'd like to ask for the help of some "experienced" users in this forum on how to solve this problem. And if possible, I'm hoping that flashing a stock recovery using Odin wouldn't be my last resort.
Thank you in advance.

Your going to need some fast hands for this one! I've ran into this lots of times when testing kernels and such. Any force reboot by holding Power Button+ Home Button + BOTH Volume buttons all at the same time. Press and hold that combo until the screen goes black. Then once the screen goes black quickly press and hold Power Button+ Home Button + Volume down buttons all at the same time. You should no enter into download mode. You said that you drained the battery so I would suggest charging it in download mode for 30 minutes or so then flash TWRP with Odin.
Your going to need to flash stock recovery or TWRP with Odin to override the boot and get it working
The TWRP app doesn't always work in which is why I use Odin.

As a side note for future reference, hard reset is simply hold POWER + VOL DOWN.
As said all you need do is boot to download mode and flash recovery.
If you're on lollipop you may need to immediately boot into recovery after flashing to make it stick.

Hey, thanks for the heads up. But how exactly do I "immediately boot into recovery after flashing to make it stick." Since after I flash recovery via odin, it would obviously automatically reboot my device? sorry for the dumb question.

You either be quick and hold POWER + HOME + VOL UP as soon as it reboots or you uncheck auto reboot in Odin then restart manually.
