Hey peeps - another annoying n00b question (sorry)
I have the Doom v3 kernel and stock 2.3.3
Just want to know how I can boot into recovery so I can install a ROM zip?
I have tried every combination of buttons on startup including Power then tapping and holding Back and I cant get into recovery mode.
Please help i really want to try the GingerStation rom
Turn device off. When off press the power button once, then start tapping any hardware button untill device boots into recovery. You can also try doomlords xCharge app from the market.
Sorry i havent been very active in the forums recently. I will be updating rom soon with some cool features and a new name

I have tried xCharge, all it does is reboots the phone

You have to turn the phone on, when you see the first image of the android on the screen keep tapping the back button, you will get in trust me I had the same problem

AFAIK you have to boot into recovery the standard way. Like the person above described. Once you do that CWM creates a directory in /cache called "recovery" then xCharge works fine
OmG it worked.. thanks alot guys!!

Did you try everything from this thread?
eg. Pushing back/wolume button (or maybe other) when the led lights.
If yes. Try get to it using command or reflash boot.img

Are you rooted?
If not, do you know how to do that?
No, it's completely stock, I've read I have to flash a file in recovery, I've got it, but I don't know how to reboot in recovery with button combination.
To get cwm, root using doomlords easy toolkit, search development
Then install this app and click install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler
After you have installed that, boot on your phone, and when you see the sony ericsson screen, repeatedly tap volume down until you get into cwm
WOW! It's very easy this way, thanks a lot
Another quick question, now bootloader is unlocked?
Can I flash any custom roms like any other device? (flash in recovery mode)
Thanks again.
That way i showed is to install CWM with a LOCKED bootloader.
This will allow you to flash STOCK based roms, no others
This is not unlocking bootloader, just getting CWM
If you want to unlock your bootloader, you have to go to the sony website or pay to unlock it
Oh, so I can't flash CM roms, but I can with stock based, right?
I knew about Sony website, but I though there was other ways to have the bootloader unlocked.
Well, thank you a lot, now I have to find a good stock based rom.

Hello,
I made the mistake of starting the update At&T had put out for the LG optimus g pro today and now I can't get passed CWM Recovery screen. IT won't connect to the computer even though I have the drivers installed. How would I flash back the original rom or even putting a new one on there?

Using hardware buttons the try to reboot or download mode.
Restore using the AT&T Factory TOT. I had the same issue with TWRP. Please review my thread as it will give some insight on how I recovered. As long as you can see the LG boot screen then you are safe.
i had unlocked bootloader and installed twrp and rooted my LG Og
but i used to get problem while rebooting , it used to stuck
so i disabled unlocking and restoreed efs using freegee
today i thought of wiping data so i went into settings >? and used the backup restore option
phone rebooted and stuck on a boot failure screen saying ceertificate error
i downloaded teenybin , and lgnpst acg
insalled lgnpst and put phone in download mode and flashed the bin and dll as its said
the phone rebooted on 67% but it didnt do that on 85% and lgnpst asked me to disconnect and do power cycle and stuff
i disconnected but couldnt do nothing
i tried pressing buttons and tried attaching phoner in download mode
but was able to go in recovery , but there is nothing i can do in recovery as the phone doesnt ahve any backup and no roms in storage
can anyone tell what should i do

Do you have stock recovery? Or TWRP? If TWRP, then ADB sideload a Stock Rom and flash it.

i do have TWRP : 2.6.0.0
If you flash with LGNPST then go into the factory recovery by holding vol-down and power together, then do a factory reset. might solve your problems but you will lose everything on the sd card (sounds like you might have already) but after that you can root and unlock. someone correct me if i'm wrong, i only used LGNPST once

won't let you get into download mode holding both vol buttons and pluggin in usb? weird. If it lets you get into twrp, go to advanced and use the file manager to see if the backup was moved to '/sdcard0/0/twrp/whatever' because if you flash aosp then it does some weird emulation and moves **** all over

no tried , but its not there
looks like many folders are totally empty
Are you making sure the phone is completely off by holding the power button for 60+ seconds then trying? A few seconds of the power button won't shut it off all the way. Unplug it and holds power for a good full minute then try download mode

LGNPST will wipe all partitions except /data which is why they say to do a factory reset in Stock recovery. After that you can use engines root guide to root and unlock and install twrp again

i ll do that now then ,
again re-iterating that
lgnpst couldn't flash completely , it didnt finish
so if at all i go back to stock recovery and it doesnt help , then what will i do ?
EDIT : BTW the /data folder is also empty
If your phone reboots at either 67 or 85% I believe it's finished. If flashing with LGNPST doesn't work I'm working on uploading the LG flash tool which will wipe and flash back to out of the box clean to the point you have to reactivate it on sprint network lol

LGNPST rarely wipes SD. It will also keep your data. That's why we have to wipe to get it to boot up. Factory reset in stock recovery will wipe SD, and everything.

I just got my S4 19505
I rooted it, Installed CWM,Did a backup and tried to install CM kitkat.
Got a dead phone.
Read Here and installed stock firmware.
After boot I'm in gaps process crash loop.
I can't follow any advice in forums, because of the crash notification I can't change nothing in my phone settings.
I can't wipe data because from some reason I can't boot to recovery mode.
All I have is loading mode,I tried reinstall firmware,reinstall CWM.
I searched for a way to wipe data using Odin..
Can any please help
Sorry for my broken English.

So you can't boot into the OS at all anymore? Cause if you can at least get into the OS you can use adb to terminate the the crashed app if it still rooted. And are you certain you can no longer get to recovery? I've already made the mistake of not having the volume up button fully depressed.

Thank you for your reply.
After flashing stock firmware I lost root.
I can log into android OS, But because of the annoying popular I have no chance to change nothing.
As for adb you mentioned , it is something I need to learn. From the little I know, It won't help me without root.
Thank you very much.

Root: CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505

But again I can only boot from my OS (e.g. Quick Reboot), but not by Volume UP.
This is big problem for if, because after each mistake in try to update ROM (I'm trying to update to 4.4.2 CM 11), in order wipe I need to re-install the stock firmware.

It's actually never been home and volume up for the s4. I too was fooled by this. I guess since the s3 behaved this way someone tried it on the s4 and it worked... but I never ever needed home button pressed to boot to recovery with volume up glad everything is sorted out for ya!

Gentlemen,
This tab is slow....keyboard is very laggy. So I figured I'd root it and load a ROM to it.... I flashed the file listed in the thread,
however, power, home and up won't go.... upon ocsassion, it wil bring me into factory mode..... wierd. My s3 and 4 rooted just fine,
so I'm no stranger to that......
Suggestion? Is there something I'm missing?
Other suggested in antother thread to reload factory firmware from sammobile...... I don't believe it would solve anything......
Thanks guys
You should try to flash the original firmware and see if it would fix it. Before doing it backup your data in case it doesn't fix

I used this link - Worked just like the video showed except I found that after flashing the TWRP recovery tool, I had to hold volume up & home for an extended period before the tool would boot. Watch the screen. After the Samsung logo dissapears, there is a slight glow on the screen. When that glow disappears, release the keys and you should see a lock screen. Swipe and you're in. Good luck.
Heres the link:
