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
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)
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
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 ?
my phone is in manual mode mode and every time it boots, it boots in manual mode, i have tried using kies and odin hoping it would help, but still boots in manual mode.
how do i get it out of this mode?
thanks in advance
Manual mode? Not factory mode or safe mode or download mode?

its written android system recovery <3e> in blue.
That's stock recovery.....the only thing I can really suggest is to try reflashing your stock Rom with Odin, if that doesn't work then a factory reset from the recovery menu might be needed, but this will wipe all your data including the internal sd card
Its going to be hard flashing a rom if he cant get into download mode though.
OP, from off, hold vol down, home and power. Can you get to download mode?
Also press volume up, down and home a few times. Make sure they're not stuck down. Recovery is vol up, home and power

Hello,
after i tried to root my phone, it just stucks with the message that no recovery is installed...
I can't go in the Download mode because, i figured out that my vol+ and vol- buttons aren't working.
My pc isn't recognizing my phone either...
Is there any option to recover it?

Whats wrong with your volume buttons? You cant do anything unless you can get into download/ recovery mode
Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
just keep holding vol down home button and power until you get into download mode. it took about 15-20 sec

I can only do it with Power Manager APP with root privileges.

If you're using an EUI based ROM, the default method will not work, since LeEco replaced the default power dialog with their own. On LineageOS based ROM's, you have to long press the power button, and on the power menu, long press the restart option. Then you'll be warned your phone will boot into safe mode.
