Hi Guys, I need your help!
I'm trying to boot my phone into CR or Download mode, the problem is that I can't.
CR - never worked trying to boot the phone into Clockwork Recovery, I've always had to do it via rom manager.
Download mode (Odin) - I need to be able to plug my phone in and boot holding vol up & vol down, but when I plug my phone in, it gets stuck on the battery icon (with the refreshing circle) and the menu & back lights come on. I have to hold the power button to get rid of the battery screen, but if I keep it plugged in, it keeps loading it faster than I can boot.
this wasn't such a problem until recently, because I had a working rom. I booted into clockwork recovery to install a nightly CM build (116) and now I'm stuck in the boot loop. Please help!
BACKGROUND INFO:
PHONE : GALAXY S 2 (i9100)
ROM : [ICS][MIUI]AdyScorpiusMIUI v4 v2.1
CARRIER : T-MOBILE UK
So Vol up + home + power isn't getting you into CWMr?
Did you flash CM7 twice when you initially flashed it?
Edit: are you on a GB or ICS bootloader?
Miracle
Thanks for the reply, Just got around it by trying to boot over and over. Eventually it worked. Flashing via ODIN now. Result!

Hello I'm currently rooted and running stock ui, but I can't get my clockwork recovery working. I installed rom manager and used the latest clockwork recovery, but every time I do the "reinstall package" it keeps giving me the error and aborted message. So please If anyone knows what I can do to get this working so I can flash roms, please help me out.
are you on 2.1 or 2.2 stock?
if you'r on 2.2, follow this guide to make CMW recovery work on froyo:

Now I have another problem. I got it to work, tried putting a rom on and it didn't work. But now I can't even boot in recovery when I hold down volume up and volume down and pressing power button. It keeps just rebooting to vibrant every time. Any suggestions?
I had the same problem with clockwork recovery not working. It's a problem with stock 2.2. I found a fix for it by downloading SGS Kernel Flasher from the market and downloading TeamWhiskey's Ka7 Kernel. Use SGS to backup your current Kernel then flash the Ka7 Kernel. After reboot clockwork recovery works like it should and you can flash away.

I can't boot up my phone, now its just going through a bootloop. Don't know any other way to boot in recovery than volume/up/down and power. Is there another method cause I can't use my phone at all now
This happened to me on 2 vibrants. Both after trying to go CM7. Can't get to download mode. Also can not go to battery charge display. Holding the buttons down used to work but no longer. If powered on battery power get a continual vibrant screen reboot. If connected to power just get the little round icon in the center without going all the to the battery charging icon.
UPDATE: downloaded samsung kies, held only vol up and down with usb connected while inserting battery, got yellow download mode. downloading tmo stock and PIT now. Will update if I have a functioning phone again. Only thing that sux is I will have to root and network unlock all over again as I am on ATT.
Use the files listed here but the instructions below:
http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/
1) Installed Odin.
2) Took battery out, SIM out and SDcard out.
3) put battery back in....leave phone off.
4) Start Odin using administrative
5) Now here is where I'm different: Hold down Volume up & down at the same time, don't press power.
6) While holding down the volume buttons together, plug the USB (already plugged into computer) into the Phone (Vibrant in my case). Should automatically go into Download mode, no fancy timing here.
7) Select your PIT and PDA (TAR) files
8) Click start....should immediately jump past cache.rfs
9) Leave it all alone until you get the green pass in Odin.

Ok, so i did something very stupid tonight...I was running cm7 #30 and was frustrated with the random reboots so I decided to try and flash the hybrid sgs2. I was on clockworkmod 4x. did the whole flashing thing and when i rebooted it got into a boot loop. Ok well the OP said it worked on cwm3x not 4 so I got into download mode and flashed Vibrant_GB.tar.md5 figuring that i could just get into recovery 3x. Alas i was a dumbass and now my phone cannot get into either recovery or download mode. I have tried the method of holding down the volume buttons while cable is attached while i insert the battery and that does not work. Any suggestions?
If you have the gb bootloader, have you tried the button method from adyscorpius' thread to get into recovery?
Vol up + power
OMG! i love you
hello....im having the same problem but the issue is when i try to reboot into recovery mode i get this screen that saids
POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE
i dont know what this means and when i try to get it into download mode my laptop seems to not be able to read it ......
Hi,
I was on asgard rom with Gingerbread Bottloaders.
I installed MIUI 1.7.8 ROM directly on this & the room is working fine.
I now want to switch bank but the phone is not entering recovery or download.
I tried the 3button combo & also inserting battery while USB plugged in & volume buttons pressed.. but sill not booting into download or recovery....
I also notice wheneer i Poweroff the device it switches itself back on & doesnt stay off.... Someone please help....
different with GB bootloaders
volume up + power for download
volume down + power for recovery
(or other way, not sure)
You could use ROM manager to enter recovery if the buttons don't werk. Thats funny ur having problems, part of the reason some flash the bootloaders in the first place is because of better key mapping. Good luck!
Once you install the bootloaders the sequence change to:
volume up + power for download
volume down + power for recovery
Hi All,
Many thanks for Helping me sort this out... I managed to get into Clockwork Recorvery3 using Rom Manager.... N Then i Flashed Bali Kernel... Through Bali I got back to 2e Recovery & now Back to MIUI since now i know the process to revert if i ever need to...
Many thanks to kyle51, kawike & Vibrant2011
I have an issue.. I was in the middle of downloading some files to start a new theming process and went to boot into twrp recovery to flash Jedi ROM that i have been using and my phone froze on the Galaxy Note II screen. I pulled the battery and then did the manual recovery(hold volume up, home button and power) and it just stays at the Galaxy Note II screen...and nothing.. no download mode, no recovery.. nothing. I need help. I plugged my phone into the computer and it does NOT recognize it.. SO I would think of flashing a new recovery or rom thru abd but I can't.. If any one can lead me into the right direction I would appreciate it!!!:good:
PS I see a little red light flash near the speaker on top when I just tap the power button..
UPDATE: was able to get into download mode(odin), but as soon as it shows up it says Downloading..??just need to know the steps of getting rebooted, can I flash a ROM in Odin bc i remember seeing something specifically saying not too.
FIXXED Thanks anyways!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I was undervolting and underclocking my i9100 for a few months and it would suffer from freezes and stuff like that nothing much as I would be able to perform a hard reset and reboot with my phone completely working everytime that happens. However today, I just locked my phone after taking a picture and I could not unlock it after that. I pressed the power button and home button but the screen would not turn on. So i just took out the battery and tried booting the phone. It was stuck in a bootloop where the boot animation would just keep on playing. So i force shutdown it and booted it into recovery. I had CWM 6.0.4.6 installed and when i booted into recovery, it gave me the message it cannot mount something and cannot load last kmsg and blah. I took no notice and tried to format cache. During this point, the recovery hanged and i force shutdown my phone again. After which, I could never turn on my phone again. No splash screen no nothing. I think it is bricked. And yea btw my usb port is not working anymore and it can only be used for charging. And i was running cm11 infected. Can you all please help me thanks!
so no recovery nor download mode?
Sadly, no

Yep i cannot even boot into anything no splash screen no nothing pressed the power button for like so long i even removed the battery for 2 hours and popped it back in not working
Try this - take out battery,then press and hold volume down+home+power and put battery back without releasing buttons.This may get you into a download mode where you can flash stock jb via odin.
