Recovery mode without hardware keys - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a possibility to go into the recovery mode without using hardware keys or apps in a ROM?
Situation:
Download mode with odin works.
Power button destroyed.
Volume up + Home button brings no effect.
If it starts, it boots to ROM-Splash and seems to stuck in a bootloop.
Flashed Custom ROMs and Stock ROM, 1 and 3 parted - no success.
Is there a way to force the I9100 to boot into the recovery without Apps, Android or hardware keys?
In best, out of download mode with odin, like "odin force reboot"-tar file.

You can use adb. I think there is command like fastboot reboot recovery or something like thah

Thanks für your replay.
adb oder fastboot reboot recovery does not work - impossible to get a connection to device.
Isn't it possible to write a tar file and flash it via Odin that lets the device start into recovery next time?

I was never doing so. I don't use Odin too often, to get learn more I'm trying to do staff using adb... Hmmmm..... Were you trying to just flash stock kernel? Or kernel with philz? (Btw have you seen somewhere unsecured kernel with twrp same as stock? Share link if you had plx)
For this tar file... I think it's quite possible so search further.
P.S. I'm quite sure that I read that you can get out of such brick with adb but I forget how...

No, always flashed 1 or 3 parted stuck ROM.
You think about formatting internal SD with pit-file and flash stock kernel from 3-parted stock ROM?
I don't remember where I could find it.
Would be a try, I think, whether it boots only into recovery after flashing.
I remember once, I flashed a kernel with CWM and that happend.
But never again.
Or kernel with philz?

Yes, no chance.
Only boots Stock ROM and bootloops.
I can't get into recovery, thats the problem.

I hope so.
ADB: I can't a a connection to the device, that's the problem. Else I could use adb reboot recovery to get into recovery and flash a new ROM, wiping, etc.
But I can't geht into recovery.
I really need such a script.
It is possible to create odin-friendly tar-files, but I don't know what to put in so it boots into recovery afterwards.

Thanks to all the guys posting in this forum.
I finally managed to:

- upgrade from stock FW 335 to 368
- unroot device
so far i can help anyone having troubles with it

- install CM7.1 using rom manager, but the question is:
which is the Clockworkmod Recovery for the SK17? (it's not listed in the RM options).
Thanks for answering

he meant recovery mode. you can enter it by pressing volume down key during first 5 seconds of boot. you should wipe data and apply cm7 zip file there.
but i cant enter it. im wondering if i have to replace boot.img first :S
yes thats right , u need to replace boot image first.

people are reporting that menu LEDs are very bright. do you know if theres a way to reduce brightness or disable the light completely?
for what i know this the vol down at boot should trigger the Clockworkmod Recovery, but as I cannot install it it's obvious that we cannot see it...
inside update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaMiniPro-SK17i-signed.zip there is a boot.img but don't know how to handle it... :-/
is it that the file that should be flashed using fastboot?

yes, boot.img via fastboot.
the instructions are on the official CM thread. here's the post for Mini Pro. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16822404&postcount=4
so i must:
1: estract boot.img from update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaMiniPro-SK17i-signed.zip
2: flash via fastboot
3: put update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaMiniPro-SK17i-signed.zip on the sd card
4: trigger the recovery mode via vol down on boot
5: flash CM7.1?
right?

i believe so.
there are some issues. LEDs under menu keys are super bright, and some people are reporting vibration and keyboard layout issues. keyboard layout can be solved (theres a thread for it) and vibration could be due to not wiping data before applying CM. keyboard layout could be due it as well.
so basically, LEDs is the only known issue right now.

Switch from TWRP to CWM? (Resolved)

I just want to verify before I actually try this because I have already bricked one phone and i don't want to brick another.
How do I go about flashing CWM for my recovery instead of TWRP?
Can I just download CWM, rename it to recovery.img and run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or is there some other method??
Thanks.

you;ve got it exactly right! allthough remember that you've renamed it to recovey.img because if in the future you do the same again for twrp or a different version you may forget which you have renamed. In addition if you already ahve either recovery and root you can download rommanager/goo.manager and within the app flash cwm/twrp respectively without ever having to use fastboot. Allthough the CWM in the forums has larger text but its the same thing.

not it has nothing to do with switching between the two
TWRP has exhibitied problems when attempting to create a backup or when attempting to restore a backup. Just avoid it for now CWM is more stable

I have had problems backing up with both. Try switching backup type to .tar in CWM. TWRP has had problems backing up as well. Right now we dont have a rock solid stable recovery just have to work around it. CWM has had more fixes applied though I know this for a fact.

If you don't do a lot of backups/restores I actually recommend TWRP. The built in file manager makes file management without S-OFF a lot more hassle free. Another upside I've found with TWRP is "adb remount" actually works. It's just the little things. The downsides of TWRP that I've found are, add I've stated backup/restore and the size (which actually bugs me so much that I'm using CWM). Overall, as of now for this device, I recommend TWRP for the everyday rooted user.

[Q] Broken Recovery/Bootloader

hey ladies and gentleman - best regards from germany
im wasted. and it would be nice if you can help me. because of a ****ty microphone quality, i´ve installed this in version 3.15:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...m-existenz-ultimate-1-0-5-light-dark-t2835196
But the quality wasnt better, though. imo it was the existenz rom so i tried a different one.
yesterday i have installed a cm11 version in which some functions of my z2 wont work. :crying:
so i have seen that there is a 4.0 version of existenz, downloaded it, put it on my sd and started in recovery.
but my twrp was gone and cwm was installed
what the..? okay, tried to flash it anyway but it was stucked before AROMA was started.
copied the .zip from sdcard to internal to provide that there was an issue with rights or something.
but no chance.meanwhile my cm11 is working, but even PLAY-Store Apps like goomanager or RASHR and TWRP itself wont install
twrp. im using a windows 8 pc and have some trouble to use adb or odin.
when i try to boot into dl or rec mode, the led stucks either orange or blue.
do you have a clue what i can do? pleaaaase :crying:
Ok first.
Disable driver signature autetification on win8/8.1
Install Sony flash drivers
Install flashtool
Reflash with stock rom
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app
You obviously have unlocked bootloader so...
If you still have recovery, just install another kernel with twrp, like Doomlords Kernel. This is a stock kernel with cmw, philz and twrp. Once this kernel is installed cm won't boot anyone, but it will allow you to install a eXistenZ.
If you don't have recovery download Doomlords kernel and flash the boot.img ( i think it's)
Code:
adb fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reverting back to stock 4.4.2 to fix your issue is a waste of time.
Okay, at first thanks electrash for showing me how to use flashtool on windows 8.
Has worked so far, im running on stock rom but cant reach the bootloader or recovery.
the LED is not blinking and i have no chance to reach the recovery mode.
is it possible to flash this with flashtool,too?

When you say download mode do you mean fastboot mode? Plugging in the Usb and holding volume up when the phone is off? If so yes.
The light should remain blue and, assuming you have the fastboot drivers installed, you can flash things.

How about bootcamp. The problem with a virtual machine is going to be drivers because everything running on the Windows virtual machine ultimately has to pass through OS X. With bootcamp you bypass the OS X operating system altogether. Let me know if it works.
Use heimdall, just flashed TWRP from Linux.
Quick mini-"tutorial":
--Please use your terminal. It's much easier to use and explain.--
Download a custom kernel. Required because the stock kernel will end up in a boot loop after you install TWRP. I recommend unikernel, but you can use any kernel that can be installed with TWRP.
Upload the .zip to some directory on your phone. If you don't, you won't be able to boot normally anymore. You CAN push a zip using adb later if you mess up, but this is easier.
Boot your phone into download mode (home+vol down+power).
Install heimdall. There should be a tutorial for mac somewhere.
Download TWRP.
Extract the recovery.img from the TWRP tar.
Plug in your phone with the Samsung USB and run
Code:
heimdall detect
to make sure it's there.
Run
Code:
heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img
and once it's done uploading and reboots IMMEDIATELY press the recovery combination (home+vol up+power). If you don't, the stock ROM will overwrite your recovery and you'll need to flash it again.
Install the kernel you uploaded earlier using TWRP.
If you used unikernel your phone should be rooted now. I believe some kernels don't root, for those you might need additional steps.

In your working directory, you can also just specify the full path (e.g. /home/username/Downloads/recovery.img).
If you don't know what those are, look up a terminal usage tutorial online. A Linux one will do, it's basically equivalent.

I can't see why it wouldn't, but I can't test it.
If you want to try, just check the pit file ('heimdall help' will give you all commands you need for that), as long as there's a partition called "RECOVERY" and you use the right kernel/TWRP there should be no differences.

You can try, first, if fastboot works in your device, type adb reboot fastboot, once the script ends, quickly disconnect device from your PC and again reconnect it, you will be redirected to fastboot, if the bootloader is unlocked, you could flash it using fastboot commands.
If you can´t get it to work then you can flash it using SPFT https://spflashtool.com/, put the recovery, in the same folder, with the attached files. All the sources to can use the tool, here https://www.getdroidtips.com/bypass-mediateks-sp-flash-tool-authentication-protection/

Most of the custom roms I've seen requires formatting data. Just to be sure have you unlocked bootloader already? That requires wiping data iirc.
If not then nothing will really work with what you're doing.

What you are saying now is totally different from what you firstly posted.
Installing a custom ROM doesn't require a stock recovery (just in case you are confusing), and obviously, to can switch from a stock ROM to a custom ROM, that has a total different basement, it's mandatory to format data, anyway, you should back up your data previously to do so.

Then you can root your phone 1st then backup your files to a computer and use migrate backup to backup app data. Note that migrate backup is limited to 4gb. Then do the fastboot flash i mentioned before

Why you are saying that you cannot install a working recovery, I don't know of any attempt you did to achieve it.
A stock recovery is not needed to install a custom ROM, and even you can't install a custom ROM using a stock recovery.
If you want to join, flashing your device and stuff like this, better learn how to use SPFT, also you have this tool https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient, this can save your device, if something in the process goes wrong.

OK, then what you are trying to install is an "old" Android 10 based ROM, if this is the case, then just download a stock Android 10 ROM, flash it through SPFT, then use SPFT to flash the custom recovery, transfer the custom ROM to your external SD Card (preferably) or sideload it, through recovery, and flash it. In the process you need to unlock bootloader, and immediately to flash the custom recovery, boot to it, using hardware buttons.

And thank you for everything and sorry for wasting y'all's time. Sincereley.

You have to boot to recovery using hardware buttons (PWR + vol. down), in regard to orange state, this is absolutely normal when bootloader was unlocked, it's not an issue but a cosmetic thing.
