HI...
i want to flash my i9100 but if i enter into recovery mode it say:
Code:
warning!!
if you want to download a custom os, press a volume up key.
Otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel.
It's normal. Just press the volume up key.
Edit - that's for download mode, not recovery.
Edit 2 - as Wezi says - quicker fingers than me...
Do you want to enter recovery or download mode? That message you are getting is if you enter dl mode and you want to use odin to flash the new rom or kernel, which is normal. In Recovery mode you flash using CWM on your phone.

+ for the recovery mod try Vol-up+Home+power
thank you ... device successfully flashed ...

hi, i rooted my samsung galaxy s2 and installed clockworkmod and everything was fine...until i flash the ROM (GINGERMOD). I decided that ROM wasnt for me so i hold on the power button and went into recovery mode. Now my phone goes into recovery mode everything i rs it and i cant exit recovery mode because the HOME OR power button doesnt work. It seems clockworkmod is unreponsive to the buttoms and i cant exit it. when i do a hard boot, it goes back to recovery mode and does the same thing....WHAT do i do? thanks.
Try using volume button to navigate in CWM.
You also could try a usb jig to force it in download mode.

You can't go into download mode? Try taking out your battery, and then going into download mode with vol down + home´+ power button so you can flash stock ROM via Odin
Asked a stupid question which I worked out 2 minutes later, please ignore
I flashed the clockworkmod for the first time. After that went back to menu by holding power + vol - but I can only see the usb icon and downloading icon. No recovery option. if I go into usb mode it just stucks there and on top bootloader: uknown. Anyone know what's up? I'm using the google IO tablet btw.

Have you flashed the recovery or just booted it.....anyways
If you have got a rom with extended power menu you can reboot in recovery that way...
If not, get your recover.img and put it in a folder on pc.
go into fastboot mode (vol. down. / Power then select USB) and type :
Fastboot boot recovery <path>recovery.img
you could also try ROM manager...
No USB-boot
I got the exact opposite/same issue on my 10.1v,
I can only see the recovery and Downloading... icons and not fastboot.
See attachment for a screenpicture of what I get when pressing VolDown + Power.
Recovery, adb, and rooted ROM all work great - but fastboot aint an option...
Can't test isimobile's ICS-rom without fastboot
edit:
attachment buggered up.

Thanks for the tips on using ROM manager. That solved my problem, finally able to try the CM9 Kangs rom
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.

I flashed cwm recovery. At first, It was OK. But After I backed up to external sdcard, my device loops in recovery mode.
Pressing Vol Down + Home+ Power >> it goes to CWM Recovery Mode.
Pressing Power Buttion >> It goes to CWM Recovery Mode
Pressing Vol Up + Home + Power >> it goes to CWM Reocvery Mode.
I already used Jig , it was still in Recovery Mode.
No odin mode, I cant do anything.
In Recovery Mode, I can use Adb shell, su commands. So I replace recovery partition with stock recovery. Nothing change. Still in recovery mode.
Someone help me please.
hii......
