Good day to all,
I have someone's phone but I need some help to resolve it's issue. It's an Alcatel One touch pop c1 4015a. The owner asked me how to factory reset it, so I gave step by step instructions as to how to do it. After resetting the phone, it some how got soft bricked, just stays at the logo screen.
So right now, I have it trying to flash it with so flash tools. Tried accessing recovery mode but it was not working. So I thought of if it was possible to flash a recovery image via so flash tools, which I found and tried but it wouldn't start downloading. Afterwards, all of a sudden the recovery mode was working (I swear it was not working before) so I am trying to install the stock rom via sdcard, but it starts and stops.
So right now I am think if the USB debugging feature may have anything to do with it or maybe I have to install cwm or twrp. Which is why I am here with the following questions:
1 Is it possible to install cwm via the phone stock recovery mode?
2 Is it possible to use ADB to install cwm? If so can I get some noob friendly instructions to do so
3 Can I somehow enable USB debug via recovery mode or ADB?
4 What on earth can I do to fix this phone if all of the above is not possible?
I do apologize as well if I posted this question in the wrong area or if there are similar topics like this one which I didn't see.
Thanks much

Okay bud, I can tell you're new to this, answer to your first question is NO, you have to do that via fast boot which I can tell you how to get into, second questions answer is MAYBE, but fast boot is easier and uses the same drivers (on your of) third questions answer is NO only on custom recoveries like cwm and twrp. Fourth questions answer is, if you have a cwm recovery image, boot the phone into fast boot (two ways: look in recovery for an option called "reboot boot loader" if you can't find it, try booting up the phone while holding volume down (-) and power. Then connect it to your pc and open a terminal or command prompt and type: fastboot flash recovery (now drag and drop the recovery file in the command prompt, it should automatically enter its file path) and hit enter. That should work, if you need more help ask

Ok I dont see that option in recovery mode at all. Which leaves the vol - + power button combo. Is something specific suppose to happen while holding these buttons? The phone might just continuously restart until i let go then it would go to the logo screen. If I try vol + & - with the power button, it will stay blank for a while as after i let go the button then it would power on to the logo screen.
It should either show a custom screen (pic maybe?) or freeze at the boot logo.

Or you can try pressing power for a second (until you see the boot logo or feel it vibrate) then releasing it, and then holding volume down. This process varies on phones

Still no luck. And for some reason, it won't detect the phone in ADB mode. I have installed drivers for it, more than once.
Sent from my Timmy E86 using XDA Free mobile app
Are you sure they're the right drivers? If you're on Windows plug in the device while in recovery, and open control panel, then click devices and printers, and it should show you a list of device attached to your computer,now find yours (or tell me what you see) and ill help you from there. Oh, and also, what SPECIFIC device is this?

Can I get into recovery mode without a working home button? My i9100 has a faulty home button, phone is stuck on a bootloop will not get pass the samsung logo screen. I can flash the phone in odin with a stock rom and finish with success but still get stuck on bootloop. I think if I can get into recovery to wipe data then the phone will boot all the way. Any help is appreciated. I've searched but have found nothing solid. Thanks!
Buy a usb jig off ebay. plug it in then turn your phone on and it will put it into download mode.

Flash a matching Chainfire CF root kernel via Odin (phone in DL mode). This with install his Cwm app. Once rebooted, run app (give su permission), and choose to boot into either clockwork recovery, dl mode, or reboot.
Edit: But once in recovery, how do you plan to actually select anything when the home button doesn't work? ? ?

Oh dear without the home button it's hard to operate the phone. I think you can boot into recovery mode by using ADB, search on the forums or Google.
I would rather you have the home button replaced ot fixed.

If you have adb setup, and know how to use it;
1. Copy the Custom ROM.zip to your sdcard folder on the phone
2. Rename to "update.zip"
3. Run CMD and navigate to the sdk tool folder where adb.exe is
4. Run "adb reboot recovery" to enter recovery mode
5. Phone to boots into recovery screen
6. "apply: /sdcard/update.zip"
7. After finish, reboot into new ROM
Haven't tried it myself though on the SGS2 ..............
tried it, didn't work..
Lost my Home button after odin flash HELP
I am stuck a i9100 that has no home working home button after i botched my first odin flash. I can not seem to get the device to be recognized by ADB or ODIN now that its messed up. I can boot into the Android Recovery System e3, and i can move up and down in the menu, but the 'home' button i used to select options no longer works. I can not get it to boot out of that menu.
This is a Sprint branded i9100 from the United States... tho when i got it, it was already 'rooted' with Gingerbread-Eg30 however it did not state the firmware version. So after i used ODIN to ref lash it... it rebooted and killed my home key... Now i am not sure what to do. ADB is not finding the device listed and I can't seem to get it to take a rom. Any suggestions?
Prior to flashing this rom in odin i had a working home key which was used as part of the 3 button combo to ender flashing mode or to select an option in the stock recovery menu.
Any help would be great!

I am having the same problem. My I9100's home button doesn't work. I had cyanogenmod 10.1 and cwm recovery installed. Used the button saviour app to operate a virtual home button on screen. Updated to cyanogenmod 10.2. nightly yesterday. All seemed working. Today I found that some apps like Google Play and ROM Manager would crash on when started. So I thought I go back to cyanogenmod 10.1. Started the installation of 10.1 from the "about this phone" settings because ROM Manager crashed and I couldn't boot into recovery from the crashing ROM Manager.
So, I now flashed a stock firmware from samfirmware.com with ODIN (because I can get into download mode with the USB-Jig), but that stock rom stucks in a boot loop.
Any suggestions? I believe, I am stuck in boot loop because I couldn't wipe the phone before flashing. Is there any way to wipe it in download mode?
Or can you be more specific, how to flash a "full wipe rom" and post a link where I can download such a rom?
1. Don't use rom manager on i9100, sure way to screw things up /brick.
2. Get the hardware sorted before you muck around with software. As you have found out, it's easy to get into a situation where you need the hardware to function correctly.
3. Download JB leak (stock firmware) from samfirmware and flash it via Odin. It's a 3 part firmware, and will wipe as it flashes.

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

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.

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
I used Odin and I tried like 3 times and nothing..the phone boots up normal..hold the power+volume up...and CWM won't show on my apps drawer...any other way?
I believe your supposed to hold all 3 buttons to get into cwm...not sure what you mean about app drawer...there won't be an app for cwm.

Nothing...it just boots up back..
From a powered off state, hold all three buttons till you feel a vibrate and then let go of just the power button. Keeping the volume buttons pressed.
From a powered on state, if rooted go to market grab terminal emulater, type in the commands
su (then a superuser prompt will pop up, allow it)
Reboot recovery
Or with adb installed on your pc and USB debugging enabled on the phone, plug in phone open a command prompt and enter,
cd (the file path to where you have adb installed)
Adb reboot recovery
There are several ways to do it.

I would start all over again. Use Odin to install a stock rooted ROM, then use ODIN to install CWM recovery. Once done you can use the finger method, command line via terminal emulator or DL ROM manager/CWM app & use the boot into recovery button.
Or you can use the one button ICS odin leak then use ODIN to install CWM recovery.
there are so many ways you can do this.
Try the adb method of installing cwm...
If you have root and adb installed.

Can you tell us why?
For a running device with USB debugging enabled you could run adb reboot recovery to boot into recovery mode. However this is for a running device, not for a device that is powered off.
I don't either fully understand what you're meaning by this.
But as far as i know the only way to access CWM when power off is Power+Home+VolUp, but then ofcourse i'm not a pro at this...yet there could be another way to access Recovery while power off which i haven't found out about.
I don't understand also why you must access Recovery while power off, in your situation (with the home butten broken) it would be easier to get ROM Manager. It has an option to reboot into Recovery mode. Or if you rooted with CF-Kernel, it come with a CWM app that let's you choose if you want to reboot normally, reboot into download mode or reboot into Recovery mode.
and if i may ask, what do you mean by Odin mode? Is it download mode?

Thanks for your informations.
The reason is that I flash a rom in Odin mode, but after that I can't get powered on, it always remains in the starting animation.
I've been in this situation many times, for every time, a wipe data / factory reset in recovery mode will fix the problem. However the problem arises, for this time, my home button is broken.
And I've tried a lot of other roms from Odin mode, it still remains in the starting animation. So I really need a wipe in recovery mode badly.
The "item" may be the same with USB jig from your description.

boot into recovery/download mode
..so u have a bootloop & ur home-btn is broken..
am i right?
the jig would bring you to dowload mode
install via odin ur rom with repartition..
u will need a 3-parted rom
that should solve your problem..cause i think theres no way to come into the recovery mode if u have a bootloop

just look at the marketplace which you prefer

the jig would reset the counter and bring you to dowload mode

I've tried this with adb tool in andriod development SDK.
However during the booting animation, even if Windows Device Manager detect Android ADB Interface, "adb devices" shows no adb connections.
Maybe the only way for me is finding a rom with auto wipe after flashing it by ODIN.
The only way you can get this fixed is get your phone-home button fixed in a samsung repair center ma8..
There's no other way you can go to recovery mode without the home button use...you can use th usb jig only to go into download mode!. Hope this helps.

He can't boot, so that is no option for him unfortunately.
I believe adb can be used when the animation starts, haven't checked it. If so, simply do adb reboot recovery.

He is simply not able to boot the device so how do you expect him to go into recovery with a broken home button?
Hello all, I'm very new at rooting so bear with me please!
I've been trying to follow the instructions to boot my phone into stock recovery in order to flash clockworkmod for the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G. One of the steps is to reboot the phone into "stock recovery" by holding the volume up and power buttons at the same time. My phone will simply continuously restart itself while the power button is held. There is no screen that appears where I can click the button for updating my sd card to install the clockworkmod software, though this is what all the forums are telling me to do in order to boot into stock recovery. I've tried several times, and my phone always just restarts as if I'm not trying to do anything fancy, just goes right to my main screen with no changes. Help please?

I believe the problem your having is that your holding the power button too long. You only need to hold the volume up and power buttons until you see tiny blue or other tiny text in the upper left hand corner of the screen saying the phone is entering recovery mode. This should take you into the stock recovery. Let me know if you still have questions .

Yeah I gave it a shot. When the phone restarts, the first thing on the screen is the Exhibit 4G logo, there's never any tiny text in a corner or anything like that :/
Even if I only hold the buttons briefly, the phone either turns all the way on to my main screen, or doesn't turn on at all if I don't hold the buttons long enough. I really wanna get into ROMing after seeing how great rooted phone apps were. I'm not sure what's blocking my phone from getting into the stock recovery.

Do you have adb setup on your computer? If you do you can type the command:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
From adb to reboot into recovery mode.

Yes since Macs use OSX which is based on Unix it should work. Just make sure you follow this guide to setting up ADB and fastboot on Mac if you haven't done so already http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237.

Worked like a charm, thank you for your help!
So I need help again... I downloaded the file "cwm.6012.t679.zip" and dropped it on my sd card. When I booted the phone into stock recovery, I tried to apply that update so I would have clockworkmod recovery. Keeps saying signature verification failed. Any other suggestions? If it's not one thing, it's the next....

If you can post the link to the guide your using I can try and take a look. Also try removing the extra periods from the file name so instead of "cwm.6012.t679.zip" try "cwm6012t679.zip".

Here is the guide:
http://dottech.org/91097/how-to-roo...t-4g-and-install-clockworkmod-recovery-guide/
Tried eliminating the extra periods, still got the same response. As soon as it tries to validate the update, it tells me the signature cannot be verified.

You can also try a different procedure for obtaining root access or use ODIN to flash this Clockworkmod Recovery .tar file from here. You can find other rooting procedures for the Galaxy Exhibit 4g from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26859796

I found some posts in the forums on my phone's model number. (SGH T759) Further research indicates there may be no clockworkmod recovery available for this device. A combination of various root apps have made this phone a powerhorse, so it's a shame there were no further developments for this phone in particular. I appreciate your effort to aid my case. You were very helpful.
