nope we are suppose to flash in CWM
(Clockwork Recovery) you could really screw your phone up.
can you get in to download mode?

With the phone off, hold down all three buttons, vol -, vol+, and pwr till the boot screen appears, and it
will boot into recovery.

Can I get into recovery mode without a working home button? My i9100 has a faulty home button, phone is stuck on a bootloop will not get pass the samsung logo screen. I can flash the phone in odin with a stock rom and finish with success but still get stuck on bootloop. I think if I can get into recovery to wipe data then the phone will boot all the way. Any help is appreciated. I've searched but have found nothing solid. Thanks!
Buy a usb jig off ebay. plug it in then turn your phone on and it will put it into download mode.
e.g.

well i guess hes already got a jig. was wondering how he got in download mode with a broken home
I can get into download mode by pressing and holding volume down + pressing and releasing power but still holding volume down when turning the phone on. But my question is, how do I get into recovery without home button?
Flash a matching Chainfire CF root kernel via Odin (phone in DL mode). This with install his Cwm app. Once rebooted, run app (give su permission), and choose to boot into either clockwork recovery, dl mode, or reboot.
Edit: But once in recovery, how do you plan to actually select anything when the home button doesn't work? ? ?

He cant boot up, he's stuck at boot logo so no way to use the cwm from chainfire
Oh dear without the home button it's hard to operate the phone. I think you can boot into recovery mode by using ADB, search on the forums or Google.
I would rather you have the home button replaced ot fixed.
Cheers!

Use can use QtADB to get into recovery - just tried, it works. But the option "flash zip" doesn't work, and of course,................
how do you plan to "select" anything if the home button doesn't work? ? ? Can't think of any way just yet.
---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------
If you have adb setup, and know how to use it;
1. Copy the Custom ROM.zip to your sdcard folder on the phone
2. Rename to "update.zip"
3. Run CMD and navigate to the sdk tool folder where adb.exe is
4. Run "adb reboot recovery" to enter recovery mode
5. Phone to boots into recovery screen
6. "apply: /sdcard/update.zip"
7. After finish, reboot into new ROM
Haven't tried it myself though on the SGS2 ..............
tried it, didn't work..
Lost my Home button after odin flash HELP
I am stuck a i9100 that has no home working home button after i botched my first odin flash. I can not seem to get the device to be recognized by ADB or ODIN now that its messed up. I can boot into the Android Recovery System e3, and i can move up and down in the menu, but the 'home' button i used to select options no longer works. I can not get it to boot out of that menu.
This is a Sprint branded i9100 from the United States... tho when i got it, it was already 'rooted' with Gingerbread-Eg30 however it did not state the firmware version. So after i used ODIN to ref lash it... it rebooted and killed my home key... Now i am not sure what to do. ADB is not finding the device listed and I can't seem to get it to take a rom. Any suggestions?
Prior to flashing this rom in odin i had a working home key which was used as part of the 3 button combo to ender flashing mode or to select an option in the stock recovery menu.
Any help would be great!
Flash a full wipe rom like stock in download mode that should fix it.

I am having the same problem. My I9100's home button doesn't work. I had cyanogenmod 10.1 and cwm recovery installed. Used the button saviour app to operate a virtual home button on screen. Updated to cyanogenmod 10.2. nightly yesterday. All seemed working. Today I found that some apps like Google Play and ROM Manager would crash on when started. So I thought I go back to cyanogenmod 10.1. Started the installation of 10.1 from the "about this phone" settings because ROM Manager crashed and I couldn't boot into recovery from the crashing ROM Manager.
So, I now flashed a stock firmware from samfirmware.com with ODIN (because I can get into download mode with the USB-Jig), but that stock rom stucks in a boot loop.
Any suggestions? I believe, I am stuck in boot loop because I couldn't wipe the phone before flashing. Is there any way to wipe it in download mode?
Or can you be more specific, how to flash a "full wipe rom" and post a link where I can download such a rom?
1. Don't use rom manager on i9100, sure way to screw things up /brick.
2. Get the hardware sorted before you muck around with software. As you have found out, it's easy to get into a situation where you need the hardware to function correctly.
3. Download JB leak (stock firmware) from samfirmware and flash it via Odin. It's a 3 part firmware, and will wipe as it flashes.

I didn't get it. You are not able to boot into recovery? If so then you haven't flashed CMW properly. Try again and get into recovery by volume up + center button + power button.

I flashed a kernel on my S3 via recovery and then reboot my phone. It goes to a black screen now. When I pull the battery and power on holding volume down to go into recovery the Samsung Galaxy S3 logo keeps appearing and disappearing until I let go of the volume down key. Then it's stuck at the same black screen. When I try to put the phone in download mode to re-flash via odin it does the same thing. I'm pretty sure I'm fu*ked, but I just want to make sure there's not a way to fix this. Any ideas?

Don't worry..i have done worse things with my phone and yet to brick it..
Fist thing to go into recovery you hold vol up + power + home and not vol down..
Second thing what you will have to do is after the Odin flash..press and hold vol up+power+home..you will boot into the stock recovery..from here do a factory reset but mind you all the data on your internal sdcard will be lost when you do this..now reboot your phone..your phone will boot up properly now..assuming that you have flashed the firmware properly in Odin..

As zoot1 replied to you for download mode press vol down+home+power for a few seconds......for recovery vol up+home+power.........
And make very sure the kernel you flash is compatible with your phone and firmware!!!!!!!!!!!! The rest zoot1 explained in his reply
Good luck
Sorta Bricked
Anyone have an idea what I've done.... Black screen with blue light. I can get to the recovery menu, clockwork is installed, but I can't flash a rom. The only way to get the phone to stay off is by removing the battery.
This is a Cspire L710. I've attempted to flash a Cspire_nandroid_stock zip, the phone will find it but can't open it. I missed a step somewhere I guess. I had it in download mode but made the mistake of trying the factory reset-which changed that.
I've also tried a couple of other roms with the same results.

I was trying to partition my external SD card through Rom Manager and it said I needed CWM installed, so I did it. The problem is, I had TWRP already installed and now I can't get into recovery. It will just stay at the Asus logo screen. I am having trouble getting into Fastboot as well. It just seems to freeze whenever I press vol up on anything. I am able however to boot normally into android so at least I'm not bricked. What should I do?

when you go into fastboot it doesnt do much. try this hold vol down while powering up. then when you have 4 icons let go and push vol down until the usb symbol is highlighted then push vol up. this is fastboot mode. then do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34359560&postcount=5497
Yeah I saw that earlier. But my project for today was to get HB going with data2sd. Can I flash that one you posted fix it, then flash the regular TWRP to be able to do data2sd?
Edit: Nevermind, got it!
Hey everyone, my S4 is running TWRP and it was fine until just now...it keeps freezing when I boot into recovery in which I have to do a battery pull...on top of that, when I pull the battery and put it back in, I'll power it on and it will automatically boot into recovery without me doing anything! Idk what to do, should I have used CWM instead? This is a never ending loop cycle now! Please help!

You can end the cycle by booting into download mode. After you pull your battery and reinsert it, hold volume down + power button then just cancel when it asks if you want to boot into download mode.

Same EXACT problem here. Tried to install the new TWRP 2.6.3.1 to prep for a 4.3 ROM install. TWRP suggest a goo install .The Goo install ran through, goo was back to it's main menu and i hit reboot recovery, but still had 2.6.0. So, I renamed the 2.6.3.1 img and put it in the BHP090808_I545_ALL_IN_ONE_TOOL all in one dir, then flashed it through that. Went fine, odined it in, then rebooted into recovery like usual..... Except, recovery never comes up. it just sits there with the Recovery Booting.... thing and Samsung custom screen FOREVER! I tried to use all in one tool to reflash 2.6.0 and it fails becasue odin doesn't see the phone, even thought it's sitting on the booting recovery screen. Tried button hold to get into download, same problems, I get the vol up prompt, hit vol up, get the d/l mode screen for 1-3 secs and then it just reboots itself - into recovery booting screen if i don't try d/l mode,.And odin doesn't see it while the d/l mode vol up msg or d/l active screen is up. Only way to stop bootloops temporarily is batt pull.
So to summarize, recovery bootloop but never gets to recovery, adb can't connect, odin doesn't see the phone at ANY time, during recovery booting, d/l mode confirm screen, or short time of d/l mode screen itself, and I have no tarball to odin a twrp recovery in even if i could get odin going b/c they only offer img files now. Oh, and Kies doesn't even see the phone due to mods. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
Also, after batt pull, phone sits with blank screen even when on charger/usb and i get a vibrate every 3 seconds continuously.
:crying:
Suggestions?
I545 loki'd, TWRP (read post), HyperDrive 9.1 MDK (which I'd like to keep at nearly any cost)
TIA, for all your conisderation and previous, current, and future help! :good:
same exact problem on tmo
I tried to flash a cm nightly, and then tried to restore it. then this problem occured. any help?

This. Flashify is a really good app to use for flashing twrp and will even download for you.
But how are you supposed to use flashify if you're stuck in a boot loop.
twrp keeps booting into recovery mode, I can't get it to just load up my phone OS (CM12)
How do I get my phone to run.

I know this is a ghost thread, but my wife still uses an S4 and somehow it got into the configuration where it would only boot into recovery mode. This trick worked, in fact, I didn't even get the question about booting into download mode; it just booted normally.
