how? CMW is not opening the phone is only able to open in download mode nothing else. Its a fault with OMEGA 8.1 mods or maybe siyah beta kernal

keep holding the power button, volume up button and the home button for around 15 seconds. You will be able to enter recovery mode. Happened to me too recently, when in Recovery mode just flash Omega Rom another time without resetting Data. Just wipe cache and Dalvik cache

how to start in recovery mode? If i press the 3 buttons it takes me to download mode ---press up button to continue and press down button to restart
This only takes me to download mode not in recovery mode

You should use the x10 flashtool and flash the 2.1 firmware and start all over

flashed an odin package ??
that happens on simply honey sometimes, going into recovery (GB bootloaders needed - vol down and power) and disabling voodoo fixes it, reboot and leave for 15 min then you can enable voodoo whenever you want

ODIN requires download mode not recovery. Can you access download mode with the buttons?
- If so, then just ODIN. Also, if you can get download mode maybe try to ODIN the GB-bootloader and try the fix above.
Good luck!

no i cant get into download mode either
1. Pull the battery.
2. Hold down both volume up + down buttons
3. Insert the battery.
4. Wait a few moments.
Enjoy download mode.
I was having the same issue as the OP, so my question is how do you disable voodoo? Anyone know?

Phone stuck in boot loop.

My phone is stuck in some kind of a boot loop... i can get it into download mode but cant get it into cwm. I have tried flashing lots of stuff via odin but it doesn't make any difference. Is there any way I can fix this?
weird O.O do you mean bootanimation is looping cause you can actually get into CWM before the bootanimation
nope clockwork mod has disappeared D:
After installing new ROM did u again wiped cache or data?? If so reinstalling would be better,,
I reinstalled using odin
try to reset factory settings and clear cache after installing...

By flashing via Odin with a stock rom, you'll loose CWM. You have to flash CWM again to get it back. But as you described it, you can't even get into Recovery mode (blue Samsung recovery screen with HOME+Power button combo)?
^^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If u can't get to recovery mod then flash a new firmware from sammobile via Odin

I had this problem also.
I reloaded a new stock rom from sam and loaded it with odin, after the install I turned the phone on with the power button + the home button and did a factory reset and wipe catch.
And that worked.
u need to hold the power button + home button till you get in the menu.
I came from cm7.1 and went to stock rom 2.3.5.
Hope get it. Otherwise post your steps from which rom you came.

or...
when phone is off, hold power button and home button in the same time.
when the phone is showing samsung, you can release the power button, but keep hold the home button until recovery menu showed

greetings paramvir ^^
if you can get into down load mode just flash your stock firmware -=or=- an Odin compatible custom ROM...
ph may not restart properly after...
reboot into recovery using buttons & do full wipes & reboot
you should be up & running again...

Help - stuck in death! :(

Hey guys,
I was running the newest Paranoid Android 3.60 with DoriMax kernel and decided to switch to the latest SiyahKernel. Unfortunately after installing the kernel through cwm and rebooting all I got was a blank screen after the SiyahKernel logo.
Now heres my problem, normally I would just boot into cwm and reinstall a working kernel, however, I stupidly forgot that my home button is not working! So now I have NO way to boot into cwm and the phone will not boot,
What are my options here guys? The phone is dead?
Cheers
i only see a jig as a solution, which forces your phone into download mode

No,there is a way to enter Download mode.You can try something.....turn off phone,and pull out/re-instert battery.Don't turn on yet!Now start pressing and holding the VOL DOWN button only.With phone turned off,and pressing the VOL DOWN key,put in charger.Keep holding the button,until you see Download mode.

Boot loop, can't enter recovery mode

Hi,
I tried installing LOS14 on my Samsung Galaxy SII i9100. The installing failed. i was on cm12.1 iirc.
I already installed stock rom from updato(.)com and can't access recovery mode, tried Siyah-s2-v4.1.5 kernel but i still can't acess recovery mode, i press the buttons vol up + home but the phone ignores the command and just boot and keeps showing the logo. I can only acess download mode. Using odin3 v1.85.
On google i just find dead links or really old posts from 2013 with more dead links. Please help :crying:
Okay my phone is alive, thanks for users Hopper8, It_ler and keithross39 for provide solution and choose freaking good host which don't delete the files, but still can't access recovery mode!!! All buttons work, i can turn volume up and down press home button and turn off/on the smarthphone.
Right now i'm on 4.1.2 JellyBean leak. How i'm supposed now to install a custom recovery to install LineageOS14.1 if i can't even go to stock recovery?
Any help?
EDIT:
interesting the flash didn't delete anything from internal sdcard(scard0). Still have here a clocckworkmod/backup from 2015-12-31 o.0 i don't even remember how i did that, since cyanogen mod had a custom recovery and not clockworkmod. I really don't know how to use this backup. My guess is i just followed some guide from someone and said to do this before installing cyanogen mod.
Anyway still can't access recovery mode...

But i still can't access recovery mode.
I press volume+ + Home + Power buttons and release them when i see Galaxy S2 logo like is said in the guide.
But phone just boots in and doesn't go to recovery mode. Can't format /cache and /system partitions =\.
Hi, your mistake is that you release the buttons early, the volume level + Home + Power buttons, hold it down and do not release until you recovery!
