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] sgs3 failed rooting attempt

I tried to root my sgs3 today and wasn't paying attention and used the wrong guide. I used the stuff for the non-us phones. Now when I turn my phone on, the only thing that shows up is "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I've tried using kies to reset it but I had never used it previously so it is unable to connect to the phone. It basically has 2 states now, off and the one described. is there any way to fix this?

Try flashing the stock firmware using Odin and then root your phone(with the correct guide this time )

how do i use odin? ive been trying to find something on how to fix this for most of the night and ive seen a couple places where it says that but when i ask how they say to go to the download thing and i cant get to that anymore. is there another way use it?

Enter download mode by pressing the three keys power button+home key+volume down.
If it doesnt work enter recovery mode by pressing power button+ home key+volume up
And if both won't work you might have to use a usb jig

listen to what people are saying to you. go into download mode. Your phone turns on and it should be able to go into download mode now. I wouldn't mess with command prompt if i were you or your friend. Once your in download mode download the stock image for your carrier and the correct phone model and flash it through odin

Pull the batter and put it back after a few seconds, then press and hold power, home, and volume down until the custom os warning screen appears. Then press volume up to confirm download mode and use Odin to flash.

Just to clear things up. When the device says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." It is putting itself into download mode and you should see the normal download mode text at the top of the screen to clarify "Product Name, Custom Binary, ETC". The previous posters are correct, you must flash via odin. Follow the guide here very carefully and it should be fixed.

Remember the recovery screen you are seeing IS download mode so pretend you already put the phone in download mode and follow it from there.
Best of luck!

This may be a bit late, but I have had the same issues in getting it into flash mode. There is a button inside the case (if you take the back off) then press that and hold the reset button, you'll get it into a different mode. On Windows 7 it recognises it as a disk called VDfu. From here however I have no ideas on what I can do to flash it.
I previously had a childpad that I flashed successfully with the rockchip flash tool, however with this mode on this childpad I can't get it to recognise the device in that way ...
There does appear to be some success with this, however steps don't exist for the flash procedure that I can find ...

Zuk Z2 boot problem

Hallo everybody,
I have a question for you, I have a Zuk Z2 (not the pro version) I received this morning the notification for the update to ZUI 2.0.069 and, since I have unlocked bootloader and root, the official update failed, so I downloaded the update .zip file and I installed it from the recovery (TWRP).
The installation went fine but then after the reboot the phone is not turning on anymore.
I guess the phone is not completely off because the white LED is on but when I try to turn it on nothing happen, and if I press the power button for long time I see a black screen with the ZUK logo in the middle but only for a second and then the screen return black.
Also the device is not recognized by the computer.
Do you have any idea what went rong? do you know how to fiy it?
Thank you very much!

So basically what I did was enter in fastboot mode and from there, using adb comand, I unlocked again the bootloader (I already ulnocked it before but the last update locked it again) and then I was able to reboot the phone succesfully.
During the soft brick of my device I was able to enter the recovery (pressing volume up + volume down + power button for almost two minutes) but in the recovery I was not able to wipe and flash a new room, so what really helped me was a tip from a guy in the zukfans.eu forum for enter fastboot directly using the phone buttons.
To do that you have first to completely turn off your phone (from the recovery for example) and then you have to press the buttons volume up and volume down at the same time and NOT the power button, at this point you connect the usb cable from the computer and your phone will enter fastboot mode.
Once in fastboot mode you can use adb comands for recover your phone.
I hope my explanation was clear and if you need I can send you the link to the dicussion at zukfans.eu.

hey guys and girls
I have a problem with Zuk Z2
The problem is that when the flash-in phone automatically disconnected and I have uploaded all the files you need.
The phone starts but before my eyes:
MAIN MENU:
-reboot
-install update package
-poweroff
When you select "install the update package," the message "system will now install update.zip root directory of the system partition in first ..."
Please help Someone may have a similar case? I know, I'm green: /

I do not understand what you meant when you say " The problem is that ......... file you need"
It appears that when you boot your phone went to stock recovery mode instead of normal mode. If you can not boot it to normal you might need to flash the firmware.

Stuck in recovery

Hi,
My phone got a message about a virus which I assumed was a devious add, it wouldn't go away so I rebooted. It has gone into Mi-Recovery 3.0 and I cant get out. I've tried to connect to PC suite but it won't connect to my laptop
without debugging, which I can't do. I've wiped data but no good. Any ideas?

Flash full rom img via EDL mode and MiFlash software. Check out the official forums how to do it all.
For me the command fastboot oem edl works to get into edl mode.

Thank you for answering. I have downloaded a full rom and the MiFlash software. I have made an EDL cable but nothing happens. From what I read it says turn the phone off and connect the modified cable and it will enter EDL mode however it just stays on the Mi-Recovery 3.0 page. I've tried the command line you suggest but that can't find the phone. I've also tried the test point method and still can't get into edl mode. What am I doing wrong?
Sorry, I'm new to this so don't really know what I'm doing. Would you be able to give me some easy to follow advise or some links please.

You need your normal USB C cable. When you are in fastboot you need to type "fastboot oem edl" your screen will go to black and you are now in EDL mode. Now flash full img via miflash software.

When you turn off the phone and press vol down + power what does that do?

It shows the Mi start screen then boots strait into recovery Main Menu. I can't turn the phone off without it rebooting.

Does anyone know how I can get around this? I've run out of things to try.

Did you try reflashing the recovery maybe that fixes it?

Is there no way of getting out of stock recovery?

Maybe your volume rocker buttons are faulty .
Happened with one of my friend his device was only booting into recovery mode on reboot because vol+ button was permanently stuck ?
Try to lift up the button if it is stuck or
press button repeatedly for sometime .

Ashish 289, you are right, it was a faulty volume rocker. Once disconnected it booted. Thanks.
