Are you holding the volume up button in before you press the power (End) button? That's how it needs to be done in order to get into recovery mode. In other words, press and hold the volume up button, momentarily press the End button (long enough for it to turn on), then after it's on, let go of the volume up button. It should go into recovery shortly after turning on.

I cant get my phone to go into recivery mode. From searching a few other threads, it seems my option is to rerurn the phone as defective. Please tell me Thats not true!! Is there no other way?? Thanks
download ROM Manager from Market and reboot into recovery that way
I looked that up in the market. The phone has to be rooted first. I cant root it because I cant get into recovery.
If your after a root method...read and follow this thread...

I dunno if you have tried this, but try doing what I do, follow the instructions exactly, and it may work for you, let me know if it does.
1) START with your phone off, no usb cables attached.
2) Press volume down AND volume up at same time, keep them pressed in the entire time, do NOT let go. I prefer to hold my phone in landscape, this gives me better control with my fingers.
3) WHILE holding down volume up and volume down, press and hold power button, DO NOT LET GO OF ANYTHING. You should be holding down volume up, volume down, and power, DON'T LET GO! HOLD ON... and proceed to next steps, dont let go!
4) PHONE will start, you will see the white Vibrant logo. STILL DON'T LET GO, volume down, volume up, and power all pressed.
5) White Vibrant logo disappears, still dont let go!
6) White Vibrant logo re-appears again for the second time. When the white vibrant logo appears the second time, let go of the power button, but keep holding down volume down and volume up.
7) Phone begins to enter recovery mode, you can let go finally.
8) To exit, select "reboot system now" and use your power button to select, you will exit recovery mode.
SamsungVibrant, my phone is hardware locked from the factory. I tried your method several times with no success. I took the phone back to te store and exchanged it. Havent tried it yet, kinda nervous to.....

+1, I have a hardware locked vibrant too and the 1-click root worked flawlessly, its the only way guaranteed to work.
PS: you might have to copy the update.zip file manually into the phone cause it failed to copy it automatically for me
You can also root by downloading the Android SDK and using it to boot into recovery. That's how I rooted.

That way makes me kinda nervous. I know this is a stupid question, but how do you know if your pc is a 32 or 64 bit system. You can see why im nervous now...
Go to control panel. Then go into system and maintenance. Then pick system. You should see the system type there.
ADB is easy. If you haven't already, do a search on ADB for dummies in the G1 forum.

This is one the things that should tell you: you shouldn't be rooting your phone, young padwan.

You are probably right. But Im going to try after I do a little more research.
Hello. I've a annoying problem with both ROM Manager and Clockwork Mod. My Legend won't boot up in neither ROM Manager nor Clockwork Mod when i tires to run a back up, launch Clockwork Mod Recovery or to install a new ROM. The booting just stops at an image of a Hero/Legend with a red triangle over it, and won't continue. Then I have to remove the battery to start up the phone again. What can I do get it fixed? Do I have to re-root?
Would be happy for some help!
Do you have the clockwork update.zip in the root of your SD? If so try pushing volume up and power in order to use fake-flash and start recovery manually.

Thanks for your answer, but nothing happend when I tries to power up the phone when I'm holding the volume button up. I have the update.zip file on the SD btw.
It's kinda annoying that the phone won't boot when I tries to do these thing, since I was about to go from Froyo Sense til CM6.1.

ugh, no no no you goose . hold the vol button down and power on and then go to "recovery". then on THAT screen you hold the vol button up with the power button and then go to apply update.zip
Aha, sorry then. It starts to be a while since I rooted, so I had forgotten how to start in that mode. But thanks for the help, I'll try it out!
Thank you guys, it worked! Backups my ROM now, and will install CM 6.1 tonight or tomorrow.
I had gone crazy .... but now I'm happy because my phone works
I explain what I did:
1: remove the sim and sd card
2: remove battery
3: plug the phone with PC
4: press V+ and V- (not power)
5: while pressing V + and V-insert the battery
finish....here's the download mode
im glad fixed ur phone, but most people know this and they should know this before flashing any phone. But u dont need to remove sd card aND sim. Heres wht i tell everyone and it seems to work for most people.
power off phone
pull out battery
GRAB THIS STUFF : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087

IT WORKED!!!!!
power reset or unknown download mode simple fix
I tried various other things, but what worked for me, and as described in this forum, was quite simple:
Power-down phone
Remove battery (I did not pull my sim)
Start Odin
Usb-plug phone to computer
Press volume buttons
Insert battery while holding volume buttons
(At this point the Vibrant came up with the hoped-for yellow triangle, and I was in business)
Reflash with SBL of your choice.
All fixed, no jig, no adb. I do have the Android sdk installed, including the USB driver, and may have left an adb server running from previous failed attempts, which may have had some effect, but probably not.
very nice method tnk you sure much
BOOM!

and that fixed me right up! perfect! also pulling my hair out! lol thanks!
First off, sorry if this is in the wrong section, didnt quite feel like it belonged in the development forum.
Now to the problem. I downloaded a root thing for gsm. Read the instructions and went oops thats for gsm. I cant post links because I am a new member but if you search for thread "ICS 4.0.4 upgrade guide - "not so permanent now"" on here you will find the page/instructions/link. Went on searching. However having way too many windows open on my little laptop screen with a touch pad thats too sensitive i accidentally somehow clicked on something in that folder because I am an idiot and left the window open. Lesson learned...close/delete **** that doesnt apply to my phone. I think i clicked either Rootexplorer.apk or whatever was on top or below (fastboot or step 1 - flash 403) it since that is where my mouse was approx when something popped up and my phone did something (lesson 2, dont leave phone plugged in to computer)
I have been searching furiously and have all but given up and am ready to go out and buy a new phone tomorrow...ouch...
I am hoping that somebody here might know of something. My phone was freshly updated to 4.04 before it happened. Please try to keep the flaming to a minimum but understandably i deserve some of it but im feeling pretty miserable as it is already. Thanks in advance for any help you guys may provide.
I'm no expert, but I would think of you can still get into fastboot you can saved your phone. I'm droidrzr.com there's plenty of people that use fastboot to go from one ics leak to another. Maybe you can do something like that. I don't know razrs all that well. Sorry if this was a useless post.....
Sent from my DROID RAZR
Google "matts razr utility 1.7"
Download and run.
Make sure your phone is connected to your PC and in ap fastboot mode,
Select option 1
Follow directions from there.
also, make sure you have .211.xt912.en.us on the root of your EXTERNAL SD card before you start the utility.
This should at least get you on the stock cdma ics.
EDIT:
Download
Verizon, 6.16.211.en.US
Unzip the file, copy the 2 files to Root of your EXTERNAL SDCARD
Follow this: droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr/213197-offical-ota-zip-installation-guide-droid-razr-razr-maxx.html
Copied from there:
1. Download the official OTA "Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip " file from above.
2. Place the file downloaded in step one into the ROOT of your EXTERNAL SD card. (DO NOT UNZIP THE FILE)
3. Turn off phone.
4. Go into recovery by pressing and holding the Volume Up (+), Volume Down (-), and Power button all three at the same time. (Press and hold all physical buttons.)
5. The menu will come up and select "Recovery".(Volume Down key to go down and Volume Up key to SELECT/ENTER Recovery.)
*The Android and Exclamation mark logos will come up*
6. Press both Volume Up (+) and the Volume Down (-) buttons at the same time. Release.
7. With the Volume Down (-) button go down to "Wipe CACHE partition" and press the Power button to select it. DO THIS TWICE (Don't worry your data will not get erased by wiping the cache.) (Thanks smmfc)
8. With the Volume Down (-) button go down to "Apply Update from SDCard" and press the Power button to select it.
9. Volume Down (-) go to the “Blur_Version.6.12.173.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zi p” and select it with the Power button. (This is the one we put in the External SD in Step 2.)
10. It will take a while to upgrade, mine isn't even done yet and I started it when I started to write Step 1
11. Once it is done, go to "Reboot system now."
12. Official ICS, Enjoy!!! =D
Once it's your first time starting ICS, it WILL take a while to load up, it is normal, it will also be "Optimizing applications" at first start up.
-----------------------------------------
Just extract the blur version zip and place it on the root of external SD, then run utility
All of this can be done from your PC if you have a card reader.
Don't thank me, thank matt for his awesome utility if it works.

Well I couldnt live without a phone, normally I would painful as it would be. But got a new job offer and I need to be in contact with the world so I went and got a new one this morning. But hopefully if anybody else is as silly as me then this thread will be here for them to save their phones.
I hope this is in the right section, don't know as I am new to XDA.
But I have a real issue. Here goes.
I recently updated my Xperia S to ICS. And I thought I want to root it.
So I went ahead and started, but when I should have placed a zip file on my internal memory, I extracted the files there instead.
So no, on CWM, when I am supposed to install from .zip file, I can't, since I do not have .zip file there.
I have tried almost all of the options on CWM on the phone, nothing works and I just get back to the start.
So my question is, how do I get out of the loop?
Is there any way I can access my phones files? So I maybe can put the SuperSU .zip file in the directory?
I can boot the phone in fastboot mode, but then it doesn't show on the computer.
Or maybe I can just reverse everything? An easy way, because I am not the best when it comes to this. I have found some solutions, but they ALL require that you put files on your SD card. Only problem is that my phone doesn't have SD card, only internal memory. ANd I can't access that right now.
Please help
Download Flashtools from http://androxyde.github.com/
Download a stock ftf rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599303
Put the downloaded rom in the flashtool/firmwares/ folder, then go to flashtool/drivers/ folder and run Flashtool-drivers.exe, when that has finished restart your computer.
Turn phone off, now press and hold the volume down button and connect the phone to your computer with the usb cable, when you get a green led you can let go, you are now in flash mode.
Start up flashtool, or flashtool64 if your on an x64 system, click the thunderbolt icon in the top left corner, select flashmode and click ok, in the left hand window select the rom you downloaded and then click ok in the bottom right corner.

Is your Bootloader unlocked?
Hello, I'm having the same problem too, but I wonder how do I "turn off" the device, since I keep pressing the top button to do this and it reboots and goes into CWM mode? Will I have to remove the battery?
Good news. Luckily I managed turn off the device. In the CWM main menu, keep the cursor positioned over the option that resets the device. Hold down the power button and immediately after, press the volume up and hold. Wait until the device vibrates 3 times. Now ready you run the procedure to connect in download mode and reinstall your firmware.
You guys must have used cmd to flash nozomi-recovery.img?
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, exactly. I used recovery-nozomi.img with CWM version 5.5.0.4 ... but I made a mistake in not installing SuperSU.

That's why I hate nozomi - recovery.img!
Nothing to worry... Happened to me too.
Use flashtool to reflash entire ftf(if you have ulbl) else use SEUS to repair (if you have lbl, I hate pcc!).
If lbl.... Then ulbl.
Use cmd to flash a custom kernel(don't use doom kernel its for gb).
Finished....
Thank... If helpful

hmm
Had a similar problem.. FIxed it with a lot of reading but now dnt remeber anymore :/
I'm having this problem too...
Almost everything is ready for flashing now, except the phone is not really turning off, even after 3 vibrates when holding down power and volume up... It turns off, but coming back in flash process!
That's how far I can go: It turns off, I hold down volume down, connect it to PC, have a green light. Flashtool see the phone, I push Flash button,Program gives "Device connected in flash mode" message, then "Selected Xperia s (LT26i)_WORLD_6,1,A,2,50_IT.flf" message, "Preparing files for flashing" message and "Device disconnected" message, because this stupid Recovery back on my screen again...
If I just can find the way to turn off my phone, so it's not come back to live when connected to PC...

Please, tell me which option do you mean..? It's no such an option like "Reset the device"...
SOLVED!
I manage to fix it!
Just wait for Flashtool to give error message (with phone picture and USB cable in it) and ask to reconnect device. Unplug device, press power button and volume up button until vibrate 3 times. Push volume down and plug usb cable, to get green light. Flashtool continue process from where it was broken.
Error message popped up not from first try, so hopefully this will be helpful to somebody...
Sorry for my english...
Many Thanks
