I scanned looking for this specific issue. COuldnt find it.
I rooted, flashed to eugenes 2.2 froyo
Tried Rom Manager and fcw. However everytime I rebooted into recovery mode it would come up saying replacing rocvery mode with clockwors, restart (with samsung logo) and bring me back to Stock recovery mode..
Well, got tired... so...
Assigned myself a password lock to log into my phone and forgot it. (I have children)
To resolve me locking myself out of my machine...
I re-entered download mode. Flashed back to stock. Now I can enter Download mode, but not recovery mode to re-root, as going stock got rid of superuser, etc...
SO how do I get back into recovery mode.
nevermind.
I used thismethod and resolved the problem. Thanks
Recovery Mode:
With the phone powered off
UnPlug the USB cable.
Turn the phone on it’s side and use both thumbs to hold (left thumb) Vol Up and (right thumb) Vol Down
Press and hold the power button with your right index finger til you see "Virbant" release the power button and it should be on the recovery screen.

I have managed to "soft brick" my phone and I basically have bootloop where nothing except turning off from boot window is functional.
Volume Up/Down + Home + Power doesnt work. Aka recovery mode or neither Download mode.
At the moment I use ODIN program in computer.
The question is, that is there an alternative way to access in Download mode. I was told face to face that other devices have an schematic when/where cable and buttons should be pushed down.
At the moment I am waiting for JIG USB device that should allow bricked phone automatic access to Download mode. Then use ODIN to Flash ROM to reset everything.
Rooting was done by SuperSu program which also lead to brick after wrong update option. (Used HTC update)
Everything is OK.
The problem was that I was trying to go download and recovery mode after I had runned the system once before.
It should not be forgotten that button combination works only when everything starts from 0. Remove the battery and then press the buttons.
Hi,
I own galaxy s3 i9000, currently on custom rom. My phone automatically rebooted and got stuck on bootloop. If I am able to enter in recovery mode, i can wipe cache(which may can help to get out of bootloop). But the problem is I am unable to enter into recovery mode because phone's volume up button is not working and my phone auto reboots every time after power off or reinserting battery. Is there any other way to clear cache or enter into recovery mode?
I dont want to flash my stock rom via odin (because i didnt backup my some important apps and msgs), this will be my last option.
sorry for my bad english
The normal way I get my phone into recovery mode from the PC is using ADB and the command: "adb reboot recovery". However, I bet this won't work in your case for one of several possible reasons: depending on when the bootloop occurs in the boot process, the phone may never reach a point where ADB is able to see your phone in the first place; if this is happening after a flashing a new custom ROM, then also it's unlikely that USB debugging is turned and the PC is not yet authorized to connect with it over ADB.
Another thought, could your power button be stuck down? I had a GS3 SCH-I535 several years ago and the power switch went bad on it, it would keep rebooting, shutting down randomly, or I'd be unable to turn on the screen. I had a switch replaced and it was fine after that. I don't think it's normal for the phone to automatically boot up when you reinsert the battery, that's why I bring that up. Maybe you can wiggle the power button a bit and try to unstick it if that's the case.
I tried to remove and stick back the power button again, but still it didnt worked. By the way fixing power button will not help me to get into recovery mode as my phone's volume up button is also not working, and recently I found out that I cant enter into download mode too because when I press respective buttons (volume down + home + power) for download mode, it gives warning msg to click 'volume up' buttton to enter into download mode or 'volume down' to reboot. Therefore again volume up button is required to enter into download mode too. So the only option remained for me is to visit service center and fix the volume up button.
Recently did factory reset for my i9100, downloaded reboot manager and rebooted into recovery from that app.
Now I can't get out of recovery mode since power button doesnt work in there and my middle button is broken too.
VolUp and VolDwn work everywhere and I can turn phone on by power button.
Any help? I'm on 2.2.3
edit/ i also rooted the phone recently with kingroot via pc
Hi @noupls,
To get out of recovery mode, you need to take out your phone battery.
Once your phone is off, reinsert the battery. Then go into download mode (press and hold volume down + power button + home).
Once in download mode, flash stock ROM via ODIN (if you've already download the firmware files).
Saber.
With broken buttons, you're pretty much stuffed whatever you do with the device. You NEED to get them repaired/replaced ASAP.
In recovery, there should be an option
REBOOT SYSTEM (NOW)
With your broken buttons I'm pretty sure that'll be the only thing that works.
Hello, all.
I have a tricky problem here.
Let me tell the background of the problem first.
Basically, I flashed cf-autoroot using odin on my phone and it restarted all perfectly, then I restarted it to download mode using pc command "adb reboot download" since trying from my phone always gets stucked on download mode warning screen, PRESSING VOL UP DOES NOTHING.... When I reached download mode, I FLASHED TWRP V2.8.0 using ODIN, it went directly to home screen not recovery, then I powered it down and restarted it to recovery mode and since then its stuck on Samsung boot logo with 'recovery not seandroid enforcing screen' . I tried to boot into download mode using VOL DOWN + POWER KEY since my HOME BUTTON IS FAULTY AND DOESNT WORK. So, I get to the download mode warning screen, BUT pressing volume up OR volume down does nothing and I have to keep POWER + VOL DOWN pressed for about 10 seconds again to come to download mode warning screen. How can I go to download mode when I cant access the TWRP recovery and also have A NON-WORKING home button .
URGENT HELP NEEDED, PLEASE.
Tried to uninstall root, first ended up stuck on logo reboots, could turn on download and recovery mode. I factory reset it, and now it won't leave download mode, indicating i have used smartswitch when i haven't whenever i try to leave download mode. So i can now only access download mode, see the error page and it won't turn off no matter what combination of power buttons i hold with the volume keys and home button. Any solution for this? Ill be trying to flash the stock rom later when it downloads but I was hoping for any alternative for now in case it fails
