I've been able to get as far as installing Odin but when I try to enter recovery mode I press the up arrow on my volume and it shuts off! I just need to install the tab root zip . But like I said it keep shutting off I'm stumped can anyone help me. I tried following the you tube video step by step but its not quite going the way the video says it should be please help:O
i need help too actually.
My tab is running the latest firmware from Samsung but I want to try rooting for the first time. I found the guide on the forums but cant even get past the first step. I"ve tried powering off the device, holding down the volume down button and holding the power button several times, waiting for it to boot into the download mode but whenever I do this, it turns on,shows me the samsung logo,then shuts off.it does this in and endless loop until I let go of both buttons and it just reboots as it normally would.
Anyone have any ideas?
regardless, if your tab is powered on or off, hold down the volume down (left) button... then while still holding it... hold down the power button.... keep holding down both.... once you see the splash scree "Tab" in white... release power... keep holding volume down.
A couple seconds later you will be at the prompt to select download mode or recovery
I did not see this very clear in any of the guides, but it is the same for all 3 of my samsung devices.
Thanks so much, I feel dumb now haha. Its odd b/c thats not how the HTC boot menu works. you hold down both.
My friend thought that to change from android to webos he had to press the power button and volume up to enter moboot, but he enter to the bootloader mode (big usb connection icon). I tried to power it off and combine power button and volume to see if I can get out of this and nothing. The only solution is to wait for the charge to deplete?
EDIT: It turned off by it self this thread can be close.
just so you know for the future, holding the power button along with the center button for a few seconds does a soft reset even while stuck in recovery or while booted in webos.
i keep seeing tut vids with everyone holding buttons down till you see the flashes etc. however if power down completely then just hold the vol down for 1 - 2 sec, then give the power button a quick push (no need to hold it down at all. just press it like you are turning it on) while continuing to hold vol down you'll go straight into boot loader (release vol down when you enter bootloader).

Erm, no disrespect intended, but isn't this how we've always gone into the bootloader? I didn't realize there was another way, outside of an APM in a ROM or through ADB.
Nite sure if this is what you're looking for but I use "quick boot" from the market.
One click for reboot, recovery, bootloader or power off.

I forget the button combination. But you can always do
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Hi,
I want to change my custom rom, but for whatever reason I can't get into bootloader...
I can get into usb mode with ease... But not into bootloader.
pressing the + volume and - volume at the same time and pressing/holding the power button just makes my Titan go into a loop...
If I keep hold of both the powerbuttons but only press the powerbutton once, then the Titan just starts up.
What am I doing wrong here?
Come on guys, help me out here.
What you have to do is hold + and - volume button and shortly press power button. Do not keep pushing power button because that is what causes the continuous loop. Keep pressing the volume buttons until the bootloader screen appears and then connect you usb-cable.

Thanks, but I doesn't work for me...
If I press the power shortly, it will just start up...
It's like the volume up doesn't respond, although it does when the phone is on...
I say that because pressing the camera button and volume down does work, and gets me into USB Mode

Have no idea what went wrong with your phone. But I would try to flash HSPL again (with SPL goldcard) and if that does not work - I would try to flash stock (also with goldcard). But if the bootloader is somehow really damaged (somehow physically) - then you lose the ability to flash customs in future.
For now you are able to do it at least via goldcard.
