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.
e.g.

well i guess hes already got a jig. was wondering how he got in download mode with a broken home
I can get into download mode by pressing and holding volume down + pressing and releasing power but still holding volume down when turning the phone on. But my question is, how do I get into recovery without home button?
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? ? ?

He cant boot up, he's stuck at boot logo so no way to use the cwm from chainfire
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.
Cheers!

Use can use QtADB to get into recovery - just tried, it works. But the option "flash zip" doesn't work, and of course,................
how do you plan to "select" anything if the home button doesn't work? ? ? Can't think of any way just yet.

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.

Hi,
My phone today just rebooted suddenly and now it does not boot into the OS at all.
I can enter odin mode (VOL DOWN) but I can't enter the recovery mode the screen, with VOL up held I just get the samsung galaxy s3 screen which flashes until I release the power button where it will stick on this screen.
I want to either boot the phone or completely wipe it! I don't have any backup as kies doesn't work on my mac anymore. So if there is a way to get into the phone with odin and using windows to try flash. I want just the stock O2 UK version.
Thanks.
Flash stock rom via Odin or flash O2 rom .
Sorce XDA or sammobile.com
O2 is not stock its O2 firmware .
No Nandroid backup ???
No saved original firmware ??

I have my contacts on google, but no android backup, no sd card either, my original firmware was on my ex's partners computer so no backup and that was about 9 month's ago. Just need to get it back to default OS with no history of rooting so I can send it for warranty and get rid of it!

For entering the recovery you have to press three buttons together...
power+volup+home
I really need somebody's Help, I followed these instructions on how to root a Galaxy SII:
Maxwell Shifman
The Flashing Process
Make sure your phone is disconnected from the computer and switched off before starting.
Download Odin3 v1.85 (first post) and the KF4 kernel (CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4.zip – fourth post) from Chainfire’s SGS2 CF-Root thread at Xda-Developers. You will need to register on the forum to download the files – highly worthwhile anyway.
Extract the two ZIP files into a new folder. You should have the following files in the folder:
image
Open Odin3. Click on the PDA button and select the CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4.tar file. Make sure that “Re-Partition” is not selected. Your screen should look similar to this:
image
Now the only *remotely* confusing part – placing your phone into download mode. With your phone already switched off, simultaneously hold down the Home (middle) button and the Volume-Down (on the left hand side) button, then hold the Power button (on the right hand side). If you hold this button combination correctly you will see the following screen (if it didn’t work, you’ll need to switch your phone off and try again):
image
Press Volume-Up and you should see this:
image
Now we are ready to flash the kernel. Plug the phone into your MicroUSB cable. If you are doing it for the first time, some drivers may automatically install to allow communication with the phone in download mode. Once this is complete, check your Odin3 screen for the following changes:
image2
If you are still with me at this stage, you are good to go. Press Start in Odin3 and let it do its magic (the phone’s screen will change to a progress bar so you know it is doing something).
The phone will reboot and you are done.

Can you go into download mode? If yes, try flash stock firmware. If no, I guess you'll need to buy a USB Jig then you can flash stock firmware.

Yes I still can. What do I do sir? What is a USB Jig? I am really new at this.
Great! Now go find stock rom for your device. And flash it using Odin. About USB Jig, it's a tool to help you enter download mode when your device is bricked. But don't mind about that, just focus on finding stock ROM for your device and flash it using Odin.
Dear friends and experts,
I need your help to solve problem with my GT-S5830i. When power on the phone start up and SAMSUNG logo will come but it will not open the phone.... again the SAMSUNG logo comes and repeats the same.

Connected and added successfully but after sometimes shows failed. Please see the attached screen shot. I hope some one can help me to unbrick this phone.
NB: I tried the same with Odin3_v3.07 and it was success. Still the phone continous to behave the same way.

I had a similar issue(more than once) and in my case I split the myFirmware file into it's 3 individual parts using Cygwin and SplitFUS2 and flashed from that with Odin 1.85. You could do this with FW file S5830IJPLK1_S5830IOJPLI1_XSG. I also used the pit file(cooperve_0623.pit), but I'm not sure if it was required but point is, it worked.
I also got out of trouble with the use of a backup which although not solid did get me out of trouble. The backup would not restore so I loaded ClockWorkMod recovery and in advanced restore, restored the system folder from my backup, this worked and got me into the phone. However you may not have a backup.

Do a "Wipe data/ factory reset" from the stock recovery mod and reboot. That should solve it. Hope I Helped

Whenever I flash back my stock rom using odin on my Galaxy Ace, it gives me a bootloop just like yours. The simple solution for this is go to recovery mod and do a "Wipe data/ factory reset". That's it now reboot. It should work fine. Please try this. Hope I Helped
use Odin3 v1.84 for Samsung Galaxy Ace-i instead
Its working........great.........
If u want to flash then use "Odin3.v3.07.Cooperve" and also put "cooperve_0623.pit" in pit tab...........
why odin3 v3.07 can't detect my phone, my phone displays odin mode and at the bottom donloading do not turn off target, nothing happens..
I soft bricked my S9+
Its stuck on "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software."
Smart Switch wont work, becuase i dont have recovery code, and it wont let me do it when i try the other option.
Odin doesnt work either.
Cant boot to recovery or download
What now...
Boot into download mode you can do this by press and hold the Bixby and volume down buttons, then press and hold the power button. You can get your model number from here.
You will the need to go to https://updato.com/ to find your firmware.
Then go to Google and search for Odin 13 it's important that it's 13 or greater otherwise it won't work.
Make sure your in download mode and then plug your device in and open odin. You should see your device in blue within the odin program with com 5 on it for example.
Extract your firmwares zip and then go back to odin and click on AP and browse to the firmware zip and select the AP file. It will seem as if odin has crashed it hasn't give it 2 minutes as its verifying the biggest file. Then to the same for BL and CP.
For CSC there will be two files
Use Home_CSC if you are keeping the same CSC on your device and wish to keep data.
Use CSC if your changing CSC or want a factory data wipe.
If Home_CSC dosent fix the issue then use regular CSC.
The phone should then be restored to a working condition
