I'm just trying to enter recovery console. I have tryed EVERY button combination & used a computer to just did use SDK. Any help would be GREAT ! Thank you
Just to make sure: you need to release the button at the right time.
Turn off your phone and take out the battery for 5 sec then put the battery back. Then hold power+vol up + vol down together and once you see the Vibrant logo, release the power button immediately WHILE pressing vol up+vol down.
That didn't work tryed 3 times.

Have you tried via adb:
adb reboot recovery
I had difficulty getting to recovery when I reflashed the stock ROM via ODIN. But once it was rooted and I got Clockwork Recovery back on there, I haven't had an issue via the button combination t get into recovery.
I will try that thx for the info.

I was on the same boat as you. I just gave up and did the one-click root process. It wasn't exactly one-click, but it was simple enough. Now I've got the Clockwork ROM manager, which will let you boot into its recovery through the application itself.
I downloaded the one click lag fix app that roots your phone & fix the lag but I just can't get into recovery mode.

What date code is on your vibrant box? I am on my second phone both built in august and the buttons do not work on either. I had to root via adb recovery. The earlier built phones are rumored to be fine. Dosent seem to matter when you got the phone more when it was made.
My first Vibrant got into recovery no problem, I received a replacement phone which would not get into recovery using the hardware buttons. I called T-Mobile and told them of the problem and they sent me out a new phone. This last one boots into recovery first try. I know there is a common problem with some Vibrants out there not booting into recovery, thankfully T-Mobile will exchange if it won't.
Let me check when I get back home. Is this a t-mobile acknowledged issue with vibrants now?

When mine gets finicky, I just plug it to my Windows machine, Enable USB Debugging, open the command prompt, and type "adb reboot recovery" without quotes. Works every time. You can also use "adb reboot download" to get into download mode.

For what it's worth, this helped me.
Hold volume up, volume down, and power all together, wait for Vibrant to come for the second time, then let go of the power button but not the menu button. After another second, I let go of the volume buttons and instantly went into recovery.
Good luck.
I tried terminal and it said it was not permitted

Someone on the I9000 boards posted that recovery can also be invoked by heat! He used an oven, but suggested a hair dryer to be safe.

I agree with this one. My Vibrant has a date of 8/14/10, and for the life of me it will not button into recovery. I really have read every thread on the topic here as well as other android forums, and tried every combination (over and over).
Rooting was a no brainer with one touch, and with that, I can get to recovery easily. The problem I see, is in the event of a miss step somewhere down the line.
I can't tell you the relief that I felt doing a battery pull to button recovery with my G1(many times). When you are in a bootloop or the like, and nothing else will work, you just need that capability.
Sadly, my Vibrant will be going back because of this. I don't understand why they would hobble the devise this way. I'm sure they will get many more phones returned because of it.
You need to type su first.
From terminal:
su
reboot recovery

I turn My sgs off. But when i hold Power + Volume up + Menu, It just boots phone normally. It will not go into recovery mode no matter how long i hold them for.
Any suggestions?
If you have download mode (same but with volume down key) then recovery mode should also work. For me to get to recovery I release all buttons once the galaxy s screen shows then recovery screen pops up about 5 secs later.
If you dont have download mode then check this out. I have used the Odin method numerous times without issue but take your time reading the instructions.

Hey,
I guess I should have looked before posting in panic..
Just made a new thread, but I will post it here as well!
So, I got my Nexus 10 today. Super nice tablet. I wanted to root it and unlock the bootloader - unlocking the bootloader went fine, and I managed to flash CWM recovery. However, I forgot the enable USB Debugging under developer tools before I started all this..
My question now, how do I get this thing to boot again? And what is the smartest move now to root it?
Thanks!
Did you get this fixed/ sorry for the late response Tapatalk unsubscribed me from my own thread.
This isnt an emergency. But pointless starting a new thread. Ive come from HTC so im new with the nexus series.
What would be the best way to:
Root, install CWM, install rom and kernel.
Ive seen a few different methods, but i just wondered whats the best most efficient way. Any opinions on a rom and kernel would be great to. Stable, smooth and customization aspects are the 3 main things, and wifi must work as i need it for work.
Before its attack the noob, im going out soon thats the only reason i have not researched properly.
thanks

This by far is the best method to unlocking and rooting it.

Also AOKP is stable 4.2.1 with lots of customizable options. But CM10.1 is good as well... Less options to customize though.

I would advise not using a toolkit unless you really must (kinda see little need for them on a Nexus device, but that's just me), but here's a brief rundown of what I do:
- Get Android SDK (not the ADT Eclipse Bundle thing; can use this though but it's like a 20MB vs 400MB download)
- Download USB Drivers and Platform Tools from SDK
- Add platform-tools Folder to Windows PATH (so I can run fastboot and adb commands from anywhere)
- Reboot N10 to Bootloader
- Connect it to PC and install ADB Bootloader driver (downloaded from SDK)
- Unlock Bootloader with fastboot oem unlock command
- Flash TWRP with fastboot command (CWM I guess works too, but I prefer TWRP)
- Reboot into Recovery
- Wipe everything (might have to format Data at first if coming straight from bootloader unlock and reboot to wipe everything else)
- Either transfer the custom ROM, Gapps, and (optional) Kernel zips to a flash drive and hook it to my N10, or adb push said zips to /sdcard
- Flash zips
- Wipe Cache/Dalvik from TWRP
- Reboot and profit
- If your going to install a custom ROM, you don't need to have an already rooted device prior to doing so (you can go straight from pure Stock to Custom)
- My preferred custom ROM is rasbeanjelly and my Kernel is franco.Kernel (rascarlo mentioned he might release an update later today for rasbeanjelly)
- I hear AOKP (and AOKP-based ROM's) has a problem with the navbar in Portrait mode (as in, it doesn't show). Just something to take note of if you use apps that force Portrait (like Google Wallet or Ingress for example)
Ohh I will probs do it that way then.
I already have fastboot and SDK installed on my laptop for my HTC can these be used or do I need specifics for the nexus 10? Obviously I'll need drivers for the n10 but is everything else the same as I already have.

How can I factory reset when I forgot my owner password?
Embarrassing situation...
I am the owner of a Nexus 10 that is set for multiple users. I got bored late the other night and changed my screen lock from a pattern to a password. It is now 3 days later I still can't recall the password. My wife does not employ a screen lock so I can still access her "side". Unfortunately, she is not the owner and therefore does not have "Factory Data Reset" as an option.
What are my options?
Factory Reset by going into the Bootloader.
If your tablet is on, power it off.
Press and hold Power until the device powers on, then immediately press and hold Volume Down (while still pressing Power). You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
Press Volume Down twice to designate Recovery mode.
Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You will see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
While holding down Power, press Volume Up.
Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power to select it.
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press Power to select it.
Note: If at any point during the above steps your tablet becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the power button for several seconds.

If TWRP is an option for you you can install it using the GooManager app, install the GooManager app, open it press the menu button go to install openrecoveryscript it'll say this will download and write a recovery image to your device. Press Yes.
It then asks you if you want to install openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-find5.img, this is the latest version made by Kamma and Dees_Troy I believe.
This should help you out.

Hey guys,
So my Verizon G2 was on the stock rom with root. I wanted to install TWRP on it and flash a rom but couldn't get to that due to the fact that I couldn't get TWRP running after I tried flashing it with Flashify(I did this after having the first OTA). Another OTA came up today and I legit accidentally hit install now. I'm currently stuck at fastboot and I can't even get into download mode or anything. Hard factory reset doesn't work either, I just get :
[2950] Fastboot mode started
[2970] udc_start()
and nothing happens. I really hope I didn't brick my phone.. Please help!
Thank you!
I was given a G2 that was bricked, all it would do is sit on the LG screen forever. I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960 and put the factory firmware on the phone. I never took any of the OTA's cause the phone wouldn't even boot up, but I would think its close to the same situation. The guide posted above worked for me

Damnit-- I am in the same boat. Vol down or up when plugging in does nothing-- just a glowing black screen after the LG logo. Device manager is only seeing it as a qhusb_bulk device even though the lg drivers are installed. None of the tools recognize it at this point. Almost ready to give up and call it bricked.
Did you make sure the phone is completely off? If you hold power and volume down buttons, it will shut off. Once its completely off you hold the volume down and continue to hold it while your plugging in the USB. I believe the drivers have to be installed as well.

I know it took me all night...im kinda noobie...
Ok bear with me...use the second option from thecubes link, when in TWRP, go into terminal command, it will open a bunch of file options...ignore those and hit select on bottom right. That will start the command which will give you two sets of 6 figure numbers beginning with 6 and an out of memory error. Again ignore....hit back arrow till back to main screen and try what i said before. Again I am kinda a noob, so if my directions are confusing be patient and i will try to help.

I had this when running TWRP and if I remember you hold the "off" button down until it starts to reboot and then quickly hold the up button while it's rebooting.
You may be able to just hold the start and up button at the same time then turn the start button loose when you see the logo.
Again; I can't remember exactly what I did but it's safe to say to device is not broken.
One note: I was never able to get TWRP to run correctly (consistently) on this device without at least some issues.
I use CMR with no problems.
Also when I had this problem i had to do a complete wipe to get completely into download mode...
Good luck...
