Help all,
The other day my E3D started going directly to HBoot when I press the power button. When in HBoot only the volume up button works and it will not accept me pressing the start button to select anything. I am able to put it into safe mode to boot android but I am then unable to get it out of safe mode. I was initially running Pac Rom but am now using Dirty Unicorns 1.2 and have the same result. Any suggestions appreciated.
Your volume down got stuck

I think you may be right. I was actually thinking that before and checked under the backing to see if something was stuck there. I just noticed that when I try and press volume down that it does not work. Ugh...but thanks.

Hello everyone,
My vibrant is currently running bionix 1.3.1 and I cant get into recovery mode by using the 3 buttons combo. I have tried vol up down power, and vol down home power. But no luck at all. Every I mess up flashing I have to use odin to restore to defult then use rom manger to get into recovery mode. However I am able to get into download mode with vol up power buttons. Any idea whats going on and how I can fix this?
Thank you,
Yahase

Ok..do you want to get into recovery mode or download mode?
That doesnt make sense, but doesnt the rom have the options in the power menu (long press power).
Cant you use Quick Boot?
You could use ADB....
I dont understand the problem maybe. You sure you are doing it right?

You have to hold down BOTH the volume up and down button's, then press and hold the power button, once you see the "vibrant" in white letters pop up, release JUST THE POWER button...
I always have to use 2 hands to get into recovery....not talented enough to do it one handed.
Try it that way
Im sorry for the confusion...i wanted to get to the RECOVERY MODE by using the 3 bottons combo.
I know I can get into recovery mode by using ROM MANAGER or VOODOO WIDGET, or hit POWER button and reboot into recovery.
However, I want to try out CM7 room and the instructions said to use the 3 buttons combo. I have tried holding vol. up , down and power. Release power button and still holding up and down vol buttons, but phone just boot to bootlogo and not recovery mode.

Are you holding power all the way until the Vibrant logo shows? All 3 should be held constantly... once you see the vibrant logo, you can let go of power only (maintain volume buttons).
You are probably doing this, just making sure.

The ota from jfd to, was it ji6? Supposedly fixed hwl'd phones.
You could try flashing that. Can't hurt... Worst case, it doesn't work just odin back.

I hold all 3 buttons until the Vibrant word flashes once, then I let go of power only. Works every time.
Try that too.

Shot in the dark here but did you flash the speedmod kernel that was linked to the CM7 page. If so thats an i9000 kernel and I think that will screw up the 3 button combo.

I think I might have. Im not sure thought

Try flashing one of the 2.3 compatible kernels built specifically for the Vibrant. That might solve your problem.
I have a Vibrant that was hardware locked. I was able to correct it using the Odin
fix created by Untermensch. It was working fine when I did it back in Dec. Since then anytime I need to get into Download mode I always hold the Vol. up\down and plug in the USB. I was wanting to try out the CM7 ROM so I wanted to make sure I could still use the 3 button combo. Every time I try to do it to get into download mode it always goes into Recovery instead. I can still get into D\L mode the other ways but not with the 3 button combo. Is there anything I can do to fix this or am I screwed. Any help would be appreciated.
Yes. Get all your files and everything set up in odin (assuming that it was you are trying to do)
1. Pull battery out
2. Hold down volume up/down
3. Plug usb in (still holding volume up/down)
4. Put battery back in
5. Should be in download mode now
Good luck

If I go into download mode, and I release the 3 keys, my phone always reboot!
Someone a solution?
maybe changing bootloader will help

Are you trying to go into download mode with the phone ON, or OFF?
To go to download mode:
1. turn phone off
2. hold Vol-Down + Home
3. while holding above buttons, push and hold power
4. should get a screen with green text saying something like "to continue, push Vol-Up, to reboot, push Vol-Down"
Get a USB Jig! They are really cheap
Solved! I've tryed with home+volume down+on/off button, and it worked. When i do volume down+home+on/off, it always pass download mode. Strange...

Don't release the buttons until you see download mode.

I tried to install cm-10.1-M2 using CWM, latest version. I selected to have it wipe everything and to back up the original ROM. It failed because it couldn't "find" the ZIP. Something to do with the obnoxious way Samsung treats internal memory as "sdcard" and the actual sdcard as "external_sd." I said ****it and copied the ZIPs over to the internal SD and tried again. Did not wipe the second time. Now it is stuck on the Cyanogenmod boot screen and will NOT boot into CWM for nothing. Am I just screwed? Is there something I'm missing?
Solved: I was using the wrong button combo for recovery mode (it's power, volume up, AND volume down) and you have to do the factory reset/wipe AFTER flashing the ROM, not before. Thanks to everyone! I may feel stupid but I have a working phone with sweet sweet 4.2.2 now. :good:

How are you trying to achieve booting onto recovery?

Go back into recovery and do a complete wipe. Then see if she will boot.

I've tried volume up + power + home plus a ton of variations. Everything I've found online says it should be volume up + power + home though.

Listen how new are you to this? I'm not being smart just wanna help are you pressing up the power and middle button once you feel the power come on it should vibrate then let go of the power while remaining to hold the middle and volume. If you hold them all it never worked for me just a tip.

I've got to wonder what we are working on here. My I717 has neither a home or middle button. Op ... Do you have the Note or the Note 2. Also wondering if you flash the proper rom for your phone.

Power off your device. Then press the power button again and immediately hold both the volume up and volume down buttons until after the Samsung logo disappears. It should be really fast.

Thanks for working with me. On my phone, home is not a physical "clicky" button, it's one of the soft buttons along the bottom of the front to the left of the back buttom . I tried to link to a photo but I'm too new to be allowed to post outside links. If volume up + power +home isn't it, how do you boot it into recovery?
It's definitely a Note 1 AT&T and an I717. As for the ROM, I used the latest quincyatt from get.cm
Re: [Q] Bircked trying to install cm-10.1-M2
Hold down the volume button in between the up and down so you are pressing both and power. Once you feel the vibration release the power button. Another user in this thread had mentioned this but it seems it was over looked

I could have sworn I had tried that but... well, it worked. I feel stupid but I am grateful. I neglected the factory reset/wipe step after flashing the ROM. It's working now. Thank you very much.

Hey guys, I just got my rooted and S-Off'd DNA! I checked and it has root and I checked and it is S-Off. The phone came to me with Torrented's ROM on it. But when I hold the volume up button and the power button, it won't boot into recovery. I get the white HTC splash screen and then it reboots again into the splash screen again. If I let go, it will reboot into the phone like normal.
Am I doing something wrong? There should be a custom recovery installed already correct?
Thanks!

That worked, thanks a ton! Damn, I feel dumb lol.
I also noticed that if you have the fast boot/shutdown option checked that it is harder to get into the bootloader.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
For anyone else coming through, you should disable fast boot to get into recovery. Also, when in doubt, use adb: "adb reboot bootloader"
Booting Into Recovery
OOR, you can turn off phone completly, then turn back on as you hear the first vibrate-let go of power, then hold Volume down. (Sameo Samo...:fingers-crossed
Or, he can get a Note2.
I have fastboot selected and access bootloader everytime by holding power button, capacitive buttons flash and pop up counts down to reboot, as soon as the pop up comes up continue to hold power down and press and hold vol down till bootloader is displayed
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
If you have adb set up, a simple way to do this is to just run "adb reboot recovery"
