[REQ] Samsung bootloader strictly for I8190

Howdy folks!
So yeah I need a bootloader from someone with working 3 button combination to get into recovery. The reason I ask for this, is so that we can all benefit from it.
Your device MUST be GT-I8190 ONLY! and NOT GT-I8190N or GT-I8190L.
Here's a dd command to enter in Terminal Emulator.
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/bootloader.img
Once you got it, navigate to your internal sd card, upload it and paste the link here.
Thank you.

Yeah! I ll do this soon, as i can.
Helping is most important.
Heres tha link to my working three botton bootloader:
http://dfiles.eu/files/6gni6mtqo
My build is: JZO54K.I8190XXAMA2

It could be a possibility that the kernel is the reason for three booton combo.
I m not a dev, maybe once a day.
Edit:I think build is not the fact, or is the rom the reason for starting recovery?
I ve a custom zialigned rom.

This will be tricky to debug it in this way , for example I flash (same) CWM multiple times and sometimes the combination of 3 buttons works (drive me to CWM recovery) sometimes not work and load the download mode on the same phone .

AW: [REQ] Samsung bootloader strictly for I8190
I have another trick to go to recovery: For me, is working.
Do: vol up, home and power together when phones off.
Then do this combo three times again. (Press three bottons together, three times while looking at samsumg logo, then hard bottons blinks three times. Lol
The magic word is three.
Enjoy..

What about the recovery itsefl..was it built with files from a "working" device?
Maybe it doesn't matter. Dont know whats in them, haha. Im not a dev. Just thinking.

It probably works for you because you triggered it to go there when you pressed it the first time already.
Wont work for me.

AW: [REQ] Samsung bootloader strictly for I8190
I got an idea, first time when recovery loads, it asks at reboot, fix stock recovery install.
So reflash via dd, and at closing recovery push fix stock recovery.
I might be that your rom flash stock recovery!
So it could be not working, the three combos.

No I'm afraid not, because if you'd flash custom kernel, then your 3 button combination wouldn't work anymore.

Problem is not if we use custom & stock recovery.
We have had this problem with three button combo not working since we got our phones.
It came like this from factory.

AW: [REQ] Samsung bootloader strictly for I8190
My phone came with no working vol up...,too.
I got this working when first installing custom recovery.
Stock recovery is not available to access. Jou.
Only downloadmode works to access.
Got it?
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app

Ok
Then we know it's possible to get it enabled...somehow.

Yeah it is possible, at least xd.bx thinks it can be.

AW: [REQ] Samsung bootloader strictly for I8190
It could be that what custom recovery is installed. I had all from the threads on this section. Maybe one of it enabled the botton combo.
I remember, the first time i flashed the combo hasn t worked too.
Hope for all to be lucky.

Some phones have button combo working out of the box,so there must be some differences made by samsung. If it isn't in mmcblk0p5 it is somewhere else..

[Q] Nothing on the screen, but RSD works

Please HELP!
I flashed a new custom rom but something went wrong and when i rebooted a didnt see anything on the screen :S I have nothing on the screen since that, but I can flash any stock rom with RSD lite. After flashing the phone can't boot :S
The backlight works, but nothing appears on the screen. I have flashed about 5 different roms. Nothing changed. :S But for one there was an infinite motorola logo(for 3 hours) so i believe the LCD works. :S (i have 2 batteries and an outer charger so its not a problem)
What should I do?
Thanks for help!

Flash the one that worked once again, after flashing go-to stock recovery(power+vol down) and wipe data, and it should boot

Black screen occurs when you downgrade, you need to find the ROM with correct bootloader version, by hit and trial.

If you're not sure about bl then you can flash dfp 231. It will get the phone booting. If you have a green lens defy then camera will not work on gingerbread based roms!

So it turnd out that the screen was wrong :S I have changed the LCD and since that i have no problem. It was not cheap but at least it works

There is not any another way to go in recovery mode or may be!!
At first try to go in recovery mode and flash 14 toggle statusbar . There is a option to reboot in recovery and it's really cool!!

Use "adb reboot recovery".

How to do that? Please explain!

Solved [Q] AutoDroid Nexus 7 3G (Tilapia) Help

Hi everyone. Bare with me a little. I'm new at this and cannot post in ROM thread because I am a noob. I've done a lot of reading and learned how to pretty much break everything but I did manage to get it working again in stock form. I am trying to set everything up for AutoDroid and a car installation and cannot seem to get it working.
First things first, I successfully rooted the Nexus 7, installed custom recovery (TWRP), Installed SuperSU, installed the Kangaroo Kernel, and flashed the AutoDroid ROM. That's where I am at this point. The problem comes now where I don't have volume buttons on the nav bar and see no settings menu to change any options. I manually installed Power Event Manager and gave it access via SuperSU. The tablet doesn't go to deep sleep when removing power.
Current Settings:
*see attachment*
Does the tab need to be in host mode w/ OTG for PEM to work?
Where are the settings for the ROM?
If I don't have volume etc on nav bar does that mean it wasn't flashed properly?
What did I do wrong?
Sorry for all the beginner questions but I've gone thru hell with this. Have learned a ton tho. I managed to remove the OS and all recoveries so I had to reimage the tab w/ stock OS.
TL;DR: I suck at computers. I need help.

The problem is the ROM is supposed to add volume buttons to the nav bar but I am not seeing them. I cannot see any ROM setting app or button to alter its settings so I am not sure if I did something incorrectly.

I was reflashing and factory wiping but it wasn't working. I went to Advance wipe in TWRP and wiped Dalvik, cache, system, and data and boom Worked! Guess Dalvik and factory wasn't enough. Pretty much followed install directions for Slimkat. Can't believe it took all this.
Thank you for all the help.
