Hi,
After installing new Kitkat on my P710, command (in terminal) 'reboot recovery' no longer works-only message:no such tool. Apps from market same don't reboot device in recovery. Only way to reach recovery is to turn off device, and press key combination, or with pc through adb command. I try to start it from system/bin (where IS reboot command) but with 'no such tool' result. Same is for simple 'reboot' from terminal.
Is someone have solution for this issue/bug?
Any advice is welcome.
Sorry for my english.

Don't know if it'll help you (I haven't installed KK on my P714 yet, due to the problems with Amiga's link), but the way I reach recovery menu in JB is using the advanced power menu, enabled from GravityBox Xposed module. You should try it if you are rooted (and besides, GravityBox is the best module I know for tweaking your device). Reason I think there's a slim chance it'll work is the fact that unlike other apps, GB/Xposed are considered to be part of the kernel, so they may work in a different way comparing to other apps. Give it a shot.
Usage: Install Xposed framework and then install GravityBox for KK module, There, from Power Tweaks menu, enable Advanced Reboot Menu. After that you should get the reboot to recovery option.

Yes, gravity box's power menu works properly, but this app is to heavy for this simple feature,
I want to know why normal command dont work.
Thanks anyway.

No problem. As I said before, GB can be used for many other tweaks, and the power menu is just one of them. I wouldn't call it heavy either, as it's not a regular app, but something that's more blended with the kernel.
As for your question, I guess this is yet another diversion from the standard ROMs from LG...

The three button method doesnt work b/c my home button is dead. Is there anyway to enter recovery mode from a pc?

Plugging into your computer and typing "adb reboot recovery" should work. Also, I think there are apps on the market that can reboot the phone to recovery.
Do you have the CWM manager app? That also has an option to reboot to recovery.

That works but I think you have to load the recovery into memory first...
I soft bricked an LG p506 about a month ago and while looking for a way to do the same thing I found the instructions, a quick google search should put you in the right direction
A sure thing is to boot to download mode with USB jig, then flash a completely new rom with Odin.
OP, I noticed you have a couple posts regarding being on AT&T's network. Are you sure you have an i9100, and not an AT&T variant, which is the SGH-I777? Or if you DO have an i9100, that you didn't flash a firmware meant for the SGH-I777? The most common reason I've seen for a non-functioning home button is flashing the wrong firmware.

There is no such thing as a "soft brick" , Your device is either bricked or it isnt. The term "brick" is used far too loosely nowadays.
In some custom roms you can have a "reboot to recovery" option in the power menu (when you press the home button for 2 seconds or so)
Or, you can download an android terminal emulator and type "reboot recovery" into it (after giving it superuser permissions by typing in "su").
yeah i have an i9100. The problem is i went swimming with it a couple weeks back, and the home button (and mic + earset) doesnt work anymore. I was running checkRom on it and was flashing a mod thru the kitchen app, and now when it boots it says phone has stopped working and won't let me get past that.
So i cant use any soft buttons to get into recovery. I cant use the three button method. and I've tried the adb reboot recovery, wont work.
I can get into download mode though, so is my only option is to flash a rom via odin and hope that fc gets fixed?

Did you try using a terminal emulator on the phone itself? Just "reboot recovery", not "adb reboot recovery". (Remember you have to give the app SU permissions first, if it doesn't request them on its own type in "su" and the do the "reboot recovery" command)
both cwm and rommanager have an option to do this from inside the app, just download one of the apps from market
Lol, it seems nobody want to understand that you cannot boot the phone and use an application from market....
I have the same problem... But I found that you can buy the three buttons, it's about 20€, but you need to open the phone. You found a lot of tutorial on the web to do this.
Hope this help

I am struggling with the same problem. I have a I9100 too and am familiair with rooting and upgrading.
But where should I typ "adb reboot recovery"? Can you be more specific?
TIA (Thanks In Advance)
As your phone is rooted it is very easy to get to recovery. Load Google Play and go to the app store and download "Quick Boot" and install. Run Quick Boot and it will give you an option to reboot the phone to recovery.
Great for stock phones with root.

hi guys
My problem is, I don't know the pattern/pin on it and the home button does not work. The friend that has the phone somehow forgot them by not using the phone awhile... Is there any chance I can get into recovery in this situation? Thanks
There is no fofum for my phone, does anyone know of a guide on how to get root on the M Style? The universal Samsung root for flashing in stock recovery doesnt work, super one click doesnt work, and xray say my device is immune to the known exploits. Im willing to root the hard way if I have too, just need steps so I dont brick my phone. Must... Delete... Bloat...
Edit- M340K, sorry.
Bump... Anyone know how to root this thing?
One more bump in case anyone else needs this, I found this finally.
http://auv.me/Galaxy-M-Style-SHW-M340K-root-rom
Its a standard Odin flash, all the odin files and pre-rooted rom are linked here. You can flash it as an update and keep everything, no need to wipe. It does install some carrier bloat (so I had two sets of bloat) but its rooted, so you can get rid of all of it.

I just recently rooted my Samsung M Style SHW-M340S phone.
[GUIDE]
1. Download the attachment that I uploaded.
2. Transfer the zip file to the root of your sdcard either by connecting your phone to your computer or wirelessly (Do not unzip the file).
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Go into Recovery Mode by holding down the home button, volume up button, volume down button, and the power button at the same time. Once you see the SAMSUNG logo show up, release the power button and you should see the recovery menu. Select "apply update from sdcard". Use the volume up and down buttons to scroll up and down the menu. Press the home button to select your option.
5. Use the volume up and down buttons and choose the zip file.
6. After the update is complete, choose the option to "reboot system now".
7. After the phone finishes restarting, you now have a rooted phone.
Note: I'm not sure if this will work on a M340K/L phone as I don't have those phones to test out.

I used several methods to root my m340s. but non of them worked.
After following ur proceeedure when i run terminal emulator it shows $ mark. but when i run the code "su" (without quotes) there it was turned to # instead of $ and it allowed to run that code. I think its rooted now.
Thanks a lot..

Just like the title says. My volume down button does not work. Called ATT. Need to reflash software. How do I do this without the volume down button? I'm running a custom ROM right now too so I'll need to relock my bootloader before I install a stock rom. Any ideas?
I found an app on the appstore that booted me into recovery. They rest was just command line fastboot stuff. All set.
Well here are a couple of suggestions,
1- Connect to PC then use fastboot and write "fastboot reboot recovery"
2- Download any app that gives you "Advanced Power Menu" (Xposed modules like : Sense 5 toolbox, XBlast. Or any other seperate app)

hi, I am Brazilian, so my English is bad...
My problem starts when my volume buttons no longer work (hardware problem), and must use cwm to exchange kernel / rom ...
until then thought it would be impossible to enter the recovery mode, but then met the ADB, and the command "adb reboot recovery" could go into recovery mode ...
but is only possible to navigate using the volume buttons, with the exceptions touch versions of cwm (and from what I saw in the pictures tqrp also allows touch)
does anyone know how can I do?

Flash TWRP instead. It's way better, and navigation is done via touch screen and not via volume buttons (which I hate using even when they are functional).
And you can boot to recovery mode if you enable advanced reboot menu. There are many ways to do so, depending on your ROM. I have GravityBox, so it's enabled via one of the options there.

Here are the steps to follow that worked for me to obtain Root on my Samsung SM-J120W Android 6.0.1 which I bought outright from Wind Mobile Canada. This method seems to work for other providers as well, but has not been tested by me. However, others in this thread have since rooted with Chatr (Rogers) and Koodo (Telus). This is great news!
Proceed at your OWN RISK. If you are successful, or successful rooting the SM-J120W that is with a provider other than Wind Mobile Canada, please post it here so others know!
In preparation for this process I performed a Software Update within Android, prior to rooting to ensure that I had the most up to date Android version available. From previous experience, I would suggest that you do not perform a Software update after rooting as it may remove root.
With respect to compatibility, on my phone under Settings > About device > Software info, the Baseband version of my phone, after ensuring the most recent update, was J120WVLU2AQA1 with Build number MMB29K.J120WVLU2AQA1 and Android security patch level January 1, 2017. These versions should match before you continue. To perform an OTA Software Update, on your phone Enable Wi-Fi then navigate to Settings > About Device > Download updates manually, then follow the instructions.
I used a Windows PC to interface with my Android. I have included a link below to a zip of all the files you will need in my Google Drive.
You should have some experience with Android recovery environments / flashing prior to proceeding at your OWN RISK. I will not be held liable for any damages related to this method.
Having said that, let's begin!
1. Download this zip archive from my Google Drive to your PC https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1iPMyk4G2_-a0ZENXVETjNPT1E.
2. Extract Samsung SM-J120W Rooting Files.zip to your PC, then follow the instructions below on file usage for the files extracted from within.
3. Copy SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip from your PC to your phones internal storage.
4. Install Samsung USB Drivers SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_1.5.61.0.exe on your PC.
5. Extract Odin_3.12.3.zip to your PC.
6. On your phone, Open Settings > Developer options > Enable OEM unlock and Enable USB debugging.
* If under Settings there is no Developer options menu, tap About device > Software info > then tap Build number 7 times which will enable Developer options in the Settings menu.
* I was asked for a PIN for OEM unlock, it was my lock screen PIN.
7. Power off your phone. Remove the back cover from your phone. Connect your phone to your PC with a USB data cable. Power on your phone in Download Mode. (Press and hold Vol Down + Home + Power until you are presented with a warning regarding a custom OS). Press Vol Up to continue. You should now see ODIN MODE in red text at the top of the screen and a "Downloading... Do no turn off target" message.
8. On your PC, run Odin by opening Odin3_v3.12.3.exe. Under ID:COM the background should have turned blue. Under Log it should say Added!! Under Options, uncheck Auto Reboot and check F. Reset Time if it is not already checked. Click AP and select the twrp-3.0.2-0-b2-j1xlte.tar.md5 file in the Open dialog. Click Start.
9. Once Odin indicates PASS! in green at the top, flashing is complete. Now remove the battery from your phone. Unplug the USB data cable from your phone. Your phone will now be completely off. Click Exit to close the Odin program.
10. Replace the battery and back cover. Power on your phone in Recovery Mode. (Press and hold Vol Up + Home + Power until you see the blue TEAMWIN logo splash screen).
11. Now that you're in the TWRP Recovery environment, it should say Unmodified System Partition at the top. Tap Never show this screen during boot again, then Swipe at the bottom to Allow Modifications.
12. Tap Install, browse to & select the SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip file you copied to the Internal Storage in Step 3. Tap Reboot after installation is complete, then Swipe at the bottom to confirm Flash.
13. Your phone should boot normally into Android with SuperSU installed in your apps. Configure SuperSU to your liking and test for root by installing a Root Checker app if you wish.
* First boot after rooting may take a few minutes. It can also boot loop a few times. When I performed this on my phone, it did take a little while longer to boot than usual, but I didn't experience any boot loops and all went well.
* I have noticed that some "older" apps that require root, complain I am not rooted. For example, in the past on other phones, with earlier Android Versions, I have used ROM Toolbox Pro to overclock my CPU when rooted; and it no longer works with Android 6 MM. I suspect that the behaviour of Rooted Android 6 MM is a bit different than previous builds. I now use Kernel Adiutor (ROOT) and that works fine for overclocking and doesn't complain about not being rooted. Other newer apps that require root like Root Explorer, AdAway, Busybox Installer, Trimmer (fstrim) all work great!
Please share your experience or comments and suggestions related to this guide!

That custom xposed version was installed good, and phone started up good, but when I install and activate an xposed module and reboot the phone, I get the same problem, phone stays in the samsung screen.
I hope it's possible to use xposed framework in this phone model, I will open a thread soon about this issue, thanks for the help!

I got it working on mine just now. I followed the procedure at this site: https://devs-lab.com/download-install-xposed-for-samsung-devices.html.
I was following that tutorial method, I retried just a few minutes ago with a different approach, and it worked, I will share it here maybe someone finds it useful:
I got rid of everything (root and xposed) with a firmware and odin.
Then I installed supersu and xposed at one time in twrp, then I installed xposed apk, I activated a different module this time, then I turned off instead of rebooting. I waited a few mins and then I turned my phone on and it worked!
I don't know what exactly was the problem, but most likely it was just a module issue.
As always, thanks for the help!
Just posting to confirm that OP's instructions worked flawlessly for me. I had already soft bricked it once using another method, recovered from that, and then found this thread. Thanks a bunch for the tutorial!

I would agree to update SuperSU from the Play Store after install. The version I included in the zip is 2.78 SR1, dated Sep 15 2016. Due to the complexity of the process, I have not tested an updated version, therfore have not included it in the guide.

Your welcome, glad to help
Just wanted to say this worked for me, except I was having trouble booting into the Teamwin screen.
What I did was skip the end of step 9 where it says to let your phone reboot fully, instead I pulled the battery and the usb cord and forced it off, then went straight into recovery mode, never letting the phone reboot properly. Was able to get to the Teamwin screen just fine after. Everything else worked like a charm.

Just wanted to say this worked for me, except I was having trouble booting into the Teamwin screen.
