After trying out MIUI i want to go back to Checkrom but there seems to be no recovery mode so i cant restore the backup i made with CWM.
Is there a way to flash the backup on my phone rather than reflashing Checkrom via Odin?
Thanks
Have you tried booting into recovery mode using Vol + and home then pushing the power button?

I've tried it with vol + but the phone just boots normally. I was under the impression vol - takes it in to download mode, i've not heard of pressing them both, i'll give it a go.
[Edit] Just retried regular vol + method and it worked, i must have made an error somehow the first time.
My bad, meant Vol up + home + power.
Just flash kernel with cwm

1. Flashed eugene's via odin
2. I've tried the usual power + vol up + vol down as well as power + vol down + home. I feel like such a nub but I can't figure out what I'm missing?
Whenever I have the power button down, the phone just endlessly reboots into recovery mode.
I'm attempting to do the larger nand fix.
You have to hold vol up + vol down and then plug in the use cable. Don't press the power button.

I think I got it. Thanks so much.
As the title says, I'm trying to flash 2.3.5 but when I press the three buttons I get the Android System Recovery 3e screen with 4 options instead of Download Mode. How can I fix this?
Hold volume DOWN + Home + Power in that order. Keep ALL pressed until DL Mode, then release all.

yes Volume up will take you into recovery (which will be stock recovery unless you install a custom one)
Volume down will take you into download mode.
i have a vibrant that now shows vibrant screen then cyanogen screen then some files running and then agfain the same process.
i am afraid . it was a new phone how to recover i was flashing the ics passion.
and when i keep pressing thr volume less and power key it just flashes vibrant on screen.
Bootloop!!!!!
Directly from the NB's ICS OP
NOTE: If you get in boot loop during first install, DONT panic.
Remove battery. Hold Vol Down + Home + Power Key. You will enter new recovery mode. Flash the ROM again.
Some users (having Froyo Bootloader) need to press Vol Up Key instead of Home Key to get in Recovery.

should i press the keys after removing and putting the battery again?
Try a few combos. You ultimately want to get back into recovery mode to reflash.
what are the comboos please help me '
Combos to get into recovery:
1. Gingerbread Boot loader: Vol Down + Home + Power Key (That's what neo's OP says) or Volume Down + Power Button (Elsewhere I've heard that combo, so try both. Can't test myself because I have Froyo Boot loader and running MIUI)
2. Froyo Boot loader: Both Volume Keys + Power Button
Ultimately you can enter download mode and use Odin to flash to stock. You can enter download mode using Power+Vol.Up

or as soon as the loop shuts off screen and is about to start again ( black screen followed by vibrant) quickly press up and down volume and hook usb cable up...( you can be already pressing up and down) works like a charm for me....have fallen into that boot loop thing once to many times....but theres always time for once more lol...
ok I made a back up of the stock rom and did a complete wipe and flashed a rom and it wouldn`t even boot so I tired a few different button combinations to get back to recovery to do a restore, and i can get fastboot mode but tried to use the volume up and down to select recovery and I can`t , what sequence of buttons do you use to get you in to recovery ?:silly:

thanks, yeah I just figured it out, its weird that when the phone is completely shut off I do the volume up then press power button on, it takes me to fastboot, but if I keep holding volume up and release the power and push power button for the second time then it enters recovery every time, kind odd to me but it works
ok I was playing around again entering recovery manually and now I can`t everytime I hold volume up and power button and goes to fastboot, then I did the second press of the power goes right to fastboot again, is there something jack up with my phone?
hmm that kinda odd... what ROM are you trying to flash?
From bootloader screen use vol up twice then power, or vol dwn twice then power.

thanks that seems to work every time, I have the stock rom, I usually use rom Manger to reboot into recovery, but 7 times in a row with the method above from adfurgerson:good:

Also you can reboot into recovery from TiBU
Hi all
I have used search and I can find results that pertain to other devices but not specifically Galaxy S3 (I9300).
I've been trying to flash a new ROM onto my phone.
To do this:
- I rooted the phone using Odin and installed CF Root + CWM package.
- After doing this, I did the 3 button reset to enter Recovery mode. However, the phone always entered into Download Mode (Odin Mode / "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!"). I was never able to enter Recovery mode.
- So I couldn't use the Recovery mode to install the ROM.
- Instead, I used ROM Manager to do the install (Cyanogen 9) but I did this without clearing the cache.
The result:
- Now if I leave the phone to boot, it enters Cyanogen 9 boot screen but stuck here looping.
- if I try to enter recovery mode to clear the cache, it only gives me download screen.
I've tried a few different uploads to get recovery mode (and it successfully uploads the files I send using Odin) however the phone still enters download mode after the flash.
I'm worried about doing the wrong steps if I follow advice from other sub-forums relating to other devices.
Any tips?
Many thanks.

The three button reset is power button + Home + Volume up to enter into recovery..
You are going to Download mode because you are pressing Power button + Home + Volume down key ...
Read this guide
Recovery mode is volume up while pressing home and then power.
Try this first and see if you can access recovery, if not then flash Philz recovery via odin and then boot into it to clear data, cache etc.
Make sure you read and understand how to use both odin and recovery before you start, otherwise you can brick your phone.

Thanks MoonBlade.
Funnily, I was pressing power + home + volume down to get download mode.
I tried pressing power + home + volume up, which successfully got me into recovery mode.
Strangely reversed.
This seems to have resolved the problem.
