How to get into flashing/recovery mode

1) Turn off and remove battery
2)Put the battery back in and immediately hold the back button
3) Plug in the USB cable while still holding the back button
4)Your screen will remain black, but its in recovery mode, and the flashing software should detect it
Source: Sony Update Service, I installed it and it told me to do just that to get into the recovery mode
Looks like were one step closer into getting the X10 rooted

I'm afraid this doesn't work

It does - it just doesn't display the things we are used to with HTC phones for instance.
This is SE's standard flashing method(and recovery mode). It's the same for their WinMo phones and for Symbian.
It puts the phone in a special flash mode ready to accept a new ROM/flash.
As OP mentioned the screen will remain black throughout the process.

shud try fastboot when its in flash mode..
Code:
fastboot devices
or
Code:
fastboot boot randomrecovery.img

Yes. You can backup sms from the Messaging application by pressing the menu-button while in thread mode. And use MyBackup to backup settings, apps and everything you need on the SD-card or online.

Would this still work if the phone isn't being recognized by the computer? (correct drivers etc are installed).
I have an xperia Ray, so I assume it's the same method... I get no response from plugging it into usb or charger, it won't turn on, although sometimes if I hold the power button it gives a brief vibration. I think it might be bricked :-/

Later if I try to lock my phone with the power button ,it sticks and I must to restart him.
One day later I try to charge my phone but with no success.
I give my phone to technical department belonging to samsung importer and they fix all problems by resetting to defaults.
Now I enter to download mode and current binary is samsung official but costum binary download is yes and 6 counts.
I want to know how to reset my phone to defaults and where I find this samsung official ?
Thanks.

Galaxy S i9000 non-stop bootloop

Hi everyone
I have a galaxy s with a strange problem.
When I'm turning it on, the phone will bootloop.
I tried to flash stock roms, several of them but the result is always the same.
Odin shows that everything went great, I get the PASS message but then the phone will reboot itself and get into recovery 3e mode and that's it. If I try to reboot the phone it will get into bootloops all over again.
This is the state the phone gets into after a successful odin stock rom flash.

First of all - thanks
Tried what you've said.
Now the device has a normal CWM recovery but still nothing. Bootloops.
I can't get access to the internal SD.
Maybe another idea?
Thanks.

Is there a game or something you installed recently? Anything related to Meida files? another person seem to have same problem here ('Successfully copied meida files')
Try flashing a CSC file , was my suggestion
But before that try a hard reset by
Turn off the i9000 Phone and take out the Battery and Reinsert it. Hold the Volume Down button Press and Release the Power button Select Clear Storage by Pressing the Volume Down button Press and Release the Power button Press Volume Up to confirm i9000 master reset
or http://www.hard-reset.com/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-hard-reset.html

Did you flash the file that you downloaded? The dbdata file? And you could try wiping everything before you do this to see if it helps

[Q] Please help me for unbrick my D802

Hi all,
I am so sad and feel myself as a idiot.
I had D802int version of G2 with rooted and PhilZ Touch recovery which is based on CWM.
Due to not deliveried to my country of KitKat i tried to update my phone with this guide
Everythings were fine. After that i tried to change my TRWP recovery with CWM for external usb storage to restore my nandroid backup and i follow this guide
But I think missed some instruction so my phone stayed in black screen with LG logo (bootlogo - no animation just frozen)
When I try recovery mod it says Secure: Booting error Cause: Boot certification verify on white screen and reset rapidly.
So i check several topics and i applied also download mod and back to stock (kdz uploader method)
For download mod it couldnt jump 2nd step stayed in like this

}
it couldnt go on 2nd step like this
when i plug usb cable pc didnt recognize as well (no plug-in sound for driver)
Can you help me pls. If I rescue my phone i will quit a long time for this kind of works i think

Probably bricked galaxy y s5360

My galaxy y is bricked. There are alot of threads but i couldnt find one that really suits me. All the fixes require entering recovery or download mode. But my phone wont enter either.
I was using Hyperion 8. It stopped working after sometime. At first i could access recovery mode but couldnt clear dalvik cache. Now i cant access it altogether. Any chance of revival? I bought another phone. I am just trying to learn to fix a bricked phone, and maybe put it to some good use other than.....well a brick......

You can easily install stock rom of GT-S5360 via ODIN.
Hope it works.

How do i do that if i cant access download mode? I tried vol down+power+home but instead of download mode, the samsung logo comes up and then the phone does nothing

You cannot access download mode because your device has this combo disabled,
a download mode JIG (samsung has lot of JIGs and testpacks) cans make the phone access this special mode.
Even if the combo is disabled.

This sounds promising. I will definitely try it out. Thanks in advance.
