I am trying to reset my Vibrant battery by booting into recovery mode.
I press Vol up/down & Power while the phone is off & plugged in. I then release the buttons when I see the "Vibrant" screen. It takes me to the recovery menu, but when I select "Reinstall Packages", it looks for Update.zip on my sdcard. How do I get to the menu with the options for my battery?
Running stock with JI6 update.
I have read that I should release the buttons after I see the SECOND Vibrant screen... but what does this mean? I hold down the buttons, and the screen flashes "Vibrant"... I keep holding the buttons, and the screen then shows the Gear(settings) image... If I release the buttons after seeing this Gear image, I just get to the same recovery screen as if I had released the buttons after seeing the first "Vibrant" screen. What do they mean when they say to release the buttons after I see the "2nd vibrant screen"?
Thanks for the help...
you have to be rooted with clockwork recovery. then when you boot into the stock recovery and select Reinstall Packages it will take you to the clockwork recovery. then under advanced it has wipe battery stats. without root you cant do it.
that doesn't always work. I just tried it and I don't get to the recovery menu either. I did the battery reconditioning last night/this morning and had to restart the phone, choose clockwork recovery and boot into recovery. Then I could reset the battery stats.
Oh, thanks, but I don't have Clockwork or any roms or root or anything, just stock. Is there any way for stock users to recalibrate the battery?

Not sure if anyone has mentioned, as i searched first. But to get into the stock android recovery do this. Turn phone off, hold volume down and press and release the power button. Choose recovery, phone will boot to a triangle, at this point hold down the power, volume up, and volume down at the same time and release. You should now be in stock recovery. This used to be a way to reboot the evo when stuck at boot, but it works to get into recovery as well on the 3d.
Sorry if this is common knowledge, i have seen people here and in the sensation threads that seem to imply there is no way to get into stock recovery.
Thanks, and this should help anyone wanting to do a factory reset or wipe cache from a "recovery" session.

Hello!
I could really use some help. I installed a rom from zip, and it finished. But it did not bring me back to the screen where it says "Reboot". so now I am stuck in Clock word recovery since there is no back button.
I can't even pull the battery since the tab has no battery to pull.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thank you!
EDIT: I'm using CLockwork V. 4.0.0.4
And, specifically, i went back into "Install zip" and i'm stuck in the -log/ folder.
Ok, I seemed to fix the problem. I held down the Volume up button and the power and it shut off, was able to reboot. I think the version of clockword recovery did not have a ***Go Back*** Button or something? I'm really unsure.
jest hold the power until the tab powers off
So I installed this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200985) a few days ago w/o much trouble. Today I updated the ROM to version 2.4 (first used wipe.zip and then the rom). When I rebooted my tab I got stuck at a bootloop (the ROM's logo keeps showing up) and it seems I'm unable to get into recovery.
AFAIK, I should get into recovery by pressing the VOLUME UP & and the power button simultaneously, but nothing happens when I do this. Getting into fastboot isn't a problem, but I just can't seem to get into recovery mode.
Can I access my recovery menu through the fastboot via the SDK manager? Did I use the correct buttons to get into recovery?
Thanks in advance
You should push on both Power Button and Volume Down buttons. Right after the Samsung logo shows, you will see two menus, let go of both buttons immediately and choose your recovery boot. i hope this will help your problem
I'm a bit of a noob at terminology and android settings so try to bear with me...
I'm running a deodexed vzw CleanRom v1.6.5 and I've downloaded TWRP recovery via gooManager. (Yes I've installed the recovery script from it.) Back when I had a stock rom, when I held the power + the volume up button it would go into TWRP recovery fine. But now (I don't know if it's CleanRom's fault) when I start up the phone into recovery mode using the shortcut the blue text would appear but it would restart normally.
My stock backup was corrupted for some reason and it softbricked my phone so I had to odin flash and go through all that rooting process again before restoring from my CleanRom backup via TWRP. So I don't really want to go back to stock, but I guess I can download a stock one if I really need to.
I can still enter TWRP by going into gooManager and pressing reboot recovery from there. Any solution to this?
I'm also on CleanRom 1.6.5 and it works for me... Vol up+power

To get mine to boot to recovery while phone is off I have to hold volume + and menu key at the same time. Then hit the power button until it vibrates then let go of the power button. If I keep holding the power button then the blue writing is displayed but instead of going into recovery it just reboots. However if I only hit the power button and release when it vibrates and I am still holding the volume + and menu key then it will boot to twrp recovery.
Alright, I'm feeling pretty foolish.
It was a simple user error that I really hate to admit. If I hold down the volume up and the power button and keep holding down both, the phone restarts as normal. But I should be letting go of the power button when the phone vibrates, while holding down the volume up button keeps it loading into the recovery mode. Don't know why I didn't have that problem before. I attempted Travis' idea first then experimented a little without the menu button and it worked fine.
Thanks.
Glad you got it figured out. :good:

True and that is what he said he has been doing. However what if you flash something and you get a boot loop. You can pull the battery and try again but if it boot loops again you will need to be able to get to your recovery with a non booting phone. That is why it is important to know how to boot the phone into recovery with out the need of any apps.

Precisely my thought process. I knew that at some time I'm bound to softbrick my phone again and I needed to boot recovery from startup.
Edit: I figured this out... I had to hold volume up and down at the same time while powering up. Also the phone needs to be unplugged. IF its plugged in it will go to Download mode instead of recovery.
Hello,
I recently Went from the stock ATT rom to CM 10.2, and then to Omni.
I can not access CWM recovery by powering the phone on while holding volume up... Ive also tried holding the soft home key.
The only way I can get into recovery is to open ROM manager and choose reboot to recovery. This scares me because if my rom goes haywire I may not have any way to get back into the recovery.
I have already tried re flashing CWM
any ideas?
Quick Boot
You can download the app "Quick Boot" from the Play Store, which has the option to reset into recovery (and many other options)
