Hi folks,
I am wondering if there are known key combinations to boot into recovery and download modes on samsung galaxy S II. I mean something like VolumeDown + Home + Power on the first SGS (I9000).
Thanks!
Work the same as on the SGS
Recovery mode = Volume Up + Home + Power
Download mode = Volume Down + Home + Power
Tested and working on mine

Are you sure you have to press Home as well? I thought Volume Up (or Down) + Power was sufficient?

It changed in the new 4e recovery, even the original SGS recovery method changed upon gingerbread update.
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.
Hi everyone,
I've created this thread becauce I am not sure if this has been mentioned.
I just recieved my new galaxy S3 (3 weeks agao) with french operator (Bouygues rom so nekwork or SIM locked)
I've rooted it one vecause I wanted to use it abroard with ODIN.
Since a few weeks; I've have some issues:
galaxy S3 reboot constantly (well some time)
bottom Volume Up doesn't work (but will work to start le recorery mode)
Home doesn't work
I wolud like to know if this issue commes from the oot I made , and if this can be fixed?
version of android is4.0.0.
The mobile has just been rooted once, I've still have the 'operator logo".
The mobile is saying 'sim locked" because I have recenty done a updrade of the software.
I wanted to root it again with ODIN, but ODIn do not recognise the port com when the mobile is on recovery mode (it does on normal mode).
If someone can help me, thad would be great.
thanks
Your phone needs to be in download mode for Odin to recognize it. As far as the vol+ key and home key not working ... they should be. If your stock unrooted right now you can try to return it. If not.. try to get back to stock and ... return it. Those keys should be working.

Go to recovery mode... If you have rooted your phone than it should boot in Clockworkmode recovery. now push VOL UP key than VOL DOWN key than again VOL UP key... it will give you a notification on the bottom of the screen saying "HOME BUTTON ENABLED"... there you go...

Thanks Guys.
But I don't understand!!!
When I press ' power + Vol UP+ Home" I am on "Android system recovery <e3>" mode.
I can not use Volume to move up....
What do you mean "
If you have rooted your phone than it should boot in Clockworkmode recovery. now push VOL UP key than VOL DOWN key than again VOL UP key... "????
Or " move the highlighted selection bar"?? I don not have that option?
Your phone needs to be in download mode for Odin to recognize it! What can i do to be in download mode ? Is it power + Vol UP+ Home". If this is the case, then it doesn't work...
Thanks again

AAA It should move through the menus .

AAAA Only if you rooted with CWM recovery .
Your phone needs to be in download mode for Odin to recognize it! What can i do to be in download mode ? Is it power + Vol UP+ Home". If this is the case, then it doesn't work...
AAAA PWR + VOL Down + Home = download mode .
Root plays no part in using with ODIN .
Does not reconise a port usual reasons not a motherboard port no USB drivers installed not Samsung Cable ..
Judged by your symptoms either phone is faulty or firmware/root is faulty .

Hi,
I can not use Volume to move up....so I can't move through the menus on the recovery mode.
CWM manager is installed but I cannot reboot the phone on downlad mode ( the phone is saying " this version of CWM manager should be used with CF-root v5.0 or newer. It appears you are running a different kernel. various features has been disabled.")
when PWR + VOL Down + Home = download mode; is only rebooting on the normal mode.
I hope this is only only an issue this the soft and not not phone....

Honestly I have no ideas what he meant by pressing volume up, then down, then up again- all that does is go through the selections.. also root doesn't give you CWM, that's something you have to flash or install.
But to answer your question about how to get into download mode- its the exact opposite of recovery. From power off- hold volume down+home+power... voilà download mode. Odin will now work and recognize your device.
And you do not have CWM installed. That's why you are getting limited options in CWM Manager... that and your phone's current recovery is Android System 3e Recovery

You can enter the recovery mode by vol up+home key+power key..
Just give it a try. I did that once by mistake and it turned off the hard keys in my phone. When I did it again it turned back on..
Who knows if it will work.. it withered for me..

I don't know what you mean. I am very familiar with CWM.. sitting there at the CWM menu and pressing volume up, then volume down, then volume up again doesn't do anything but move the cursor up and down

After entering cwm, you will have first option highlighted. Now press the vol keys as I described earlier. You will have a notification on the bottom of the screen saying "home key enabled/disabled"

After you enter the volume keys like you described you will have the bottom option highlighted.. "advanced". Nothing more. I feel bad for not seeing what your talking about. The only thing the volume buttons do, is navigate the highlighted bar up and down. I wish someone else would come in here and confirm so I dont feel like I'm crazy

I am sorry if it didnt worked buddy... Than my dear friend you have hardware defect (mostly)... But you can still try flashing the stock rom and try if it works... If it doesnt than the only option is to go to the samsung service center...

Its not me that has the hardware defect. The other user was having issues but he doesn't even have CWM installed. I also noticed I am running a different version of CWM- v6.0.1.2 .. yours appears to be v6.0.0.0 (hard to tell from the video)

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but couldn't the OP just install a compatible CWM using ADB? Seeing as how he can't get into download mode since he can't continue past the warning message using Vol+ button, ADB seems like the only viable method.
That should work!

Sorry but this not working, and I still have the home key not working.
But since yesterday, le Vol up is working (i did not do anything).
The other thing,before when I was pressing VolDown + Home + Power, le phone was rebooting. Now I can get to the option:
press Vol up to carry on or Vol down to cancel. But the phone do not respond...
what's ADB ?
Hello, I just rooted my S3 using "CF-Root 6.4" but everytime I hold volume-down + home + power, it goes into the default odin screen with the information about the phone. How do I get into CWM by holding volume-down + home + power and not using the app?

If one of your buttons doesn't work install cwm recovery app from play store and go to recovery inside the app

For recovery use adb reboot recovery
For download mode,i'm sorry but you can't. I have same issue with my current phone. Although emergency mode (equivalent of download mode for LG) is accessable through Power + vol Plus + vol Minus

For download mode the adb command is: reboot download. It worked for me
Try the easier approach- Under developer options in settings of your phone, simple check advanced reboot. So,when you hold power key and select reboot,it will ask you if you want the download mode or the recovery. Hope it helps.

Well of course but imagine if you're on stock touchwiz or you've got a bricked phone?
The commands you need are:
Recovery:
adb reboot recovery
Download mode:
adb reboot download
