All of a sudden,
My Galaxy s2 got f*cked up some sort of way,
when i am on stock fw, and flashing codework's CWM 5.0.2.3 through odin -> PDA the phone wont boot normally, stuck at triangle, it wont even boot to CWM but instead it goes into bootloops again until the traingle screen...
so i flashed cf-root kk2 all is fine and it boots normally + to cwm if i press the combo.....BUT!
when i want to flash a custom rom (CM,Miui, other roms)
it installs just fine, but when i reboot, again stuck @ traingle screen and no way to get back into recovery!
download mode works fine, i can only flash official/leaked samsung roms......
i searched the forum, couldnt find any help, and help is what i need now, serious help!
exactly the same problem.
press
vol+ key,home key and power button together to go to recovery mode??
1. Are you wiping data/cache etc when flashing new ROM to prevent bootloops?
2. If you get stuck at the triangle, have you tried pulling the battery (or hold power button until phone switches off) then use Vol UP - Power - Home, key combo to get into recovery?

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 tried to flash a new rom, after wiping the data of my previus I noticed I haven't moved it into the external SD so I restared the mobile in order to move the .zip file.
At the point where you set a google account I tried to rush it though but at one point the phone restarted and from that moment on it always gets stuck in boot screen.I use the Omega rom.
How can I boot into CMW with "hotkeys" at the beggining of booting (Samsung logo)?
Things I tried:
Removing the batery for 1 min and restarting,
Almost all possible key combinations at the boot screen (Samsung boot) not the rom boot
CWM recovery
Hold down
Vol Up Button + Home Button + Power Button at first splash screen release buttons .

Normal 3-Button Combo should work. Maybe you have to be fast after insert the battery again.
If you can't go there, try to get into download mode a start a fresh install with odin or heimdall.

What is easier to use odin or heimdall?
ideally flash with odin to the T if your going to upgrade the rom to whatever you choose, it will do a full wipe for you bit of a pain losing your data but its really the only way of getting back up to scratch put it into download mode vol down - menu button + power button then an option will show press vol up and go from there be warned you must follow the odin instructions perfectly
I have Da_G's kernal and rooted and with rogers right now. Rest everything is stock.
Can someone please explain to me how am I suppose to get recovery on it??
when I do the three button thing it gets me into download mode that's it
so holding vol down + power takes me into download ...how can i put recovery on it??
I tried clicking reboot into recovery from ROM manager even that doesn't work rather gets me stuck in boot loop.
i was on cm 10, then my phone stopped turning on, so i used odin to get the phone back to stock android, and it still wont turn completely on. i think my boot loader may be messed up? i have no idea.
when i press the power button, first thing i see is "Samsung galaxy gt -I9000" then a screen that says "Vibrant" then screen turns black and nothing happens. i know its strange that it says gt - i9000 but thats what it used to be with the cm 10 roms.
i get to the download screen by holding volume up + power button. i can not get to recovery which used to be volume down + power button.
please help!

The reason you see Samsung Galaxy GT-I9000 when you boot your phone up is because you have somehow flashed Gingerbread bootloaders to your phone. GB bootloaders allow you to boot to download mode with UP + POWER and recovery with DOWN + POWER. This is a good thing though, I have GB bootloaders too and its much easier to boot into recovery or download. From what I can tell you need to flash back to stock again, make sure you have repartitioned checked, correct files can be found from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028. If it still bootloops then you may have a kernel problem, you could try to flash one of Fishman's 2.2 ROMS (Odin versions) and then flash a 2.2 kernel (Odin version), maybe this will boot your phone up.
Please help. My s3 can only boot into twrp logo and stays there while flickering every few seconds. I have tried the volume up, power button and home button thing and still it does nothing but reboot to the same place. In short, I cannot enter recovery mode to re-flash my phone.
What about download mode? Volume down Power and Home button?

What about entering download mode ? As it was stated above ? Then you can download last stock firmware for your region and flash it via Odin. Good source of original firmware is //samsung-updates.com/. Odin is available at many sites. If you run Win7 (or higher) on your PC you do not need any additional software, if not - proper drivers to see your mobile will be required. Then, if you do not want to stay with stock ROM, you can flash custom recovery and finally custom ROM chosen from dozens of them...
