[Q][SOLVED] How to boot into recovery using hardware buttons?

There have been some people telling that we can boot into recovery using HOME + POWER but unfortunately it won't work for me. It won't work for some other people too.. But since some people state it works! Im confused..
I wonder if I should flash fastboot with a different method(kdz).
Any help ın this?
Thanks!
Editt: flashing the kdz in this thread solved it

For me the hardware buttons work u need to press VolumeUp+Power+Home hit thanks if it worked

Long press Power, when it powers up press Home and don't release the Home button until it boots into recovery.

dude! doesn't work!

ok then flash the kdz

Some times you must press so hard you smash the keys!!!

I would suggest you to reflash kdz file...

Flash a different recovery and try again

nah, flashing a new recovery wont work..
ill try flashing kdz ...

if you're using a custom ROM then press and hold power will give you power menu where you can choose to reboot in recovery or fastboot (bootloader)

i9000 Can't get into HBOOT

So my friend rooted and flashed CWM on his Galaxy S i9000, then he wasnt happy so he tried to restore the old backup. It gave him an error, now the phone is stuck in bootloop. The problem is that he cant get back into HBOOT either because Power+Vol UP+Home doesnt work. Any ideas guys?
Thanks for helping

Do a battery pull first
try a different combination of keys ( Vol down+home+power or home+power )
Failing which use easy reboot recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796807

Thanks for your help. All those combos don't work for some reason. I am not sure how Easy Reboot Recovery would work since I believe the phone doesn't get recognized by the USB.

ok, try battery pull and reinsert method for download mode
1) Press and hold (volume down+home key+power button)
2) insert the battery

by ruaylau
Did you ever get into to Download Mode or Recovery Mode before you stuck?

Yeah, I accessed the recovery with Vol Up + Power + Home, but only when the phone was booted up fully. He was trying to restore the old ROM in CWM but it gave him error flashing boot image, then he restarted the phone and got the bootloop problem, so theres no way to restart it into HBOOT. I will try your method xsenman, have to wait till sunday so the phone gets here. If anyone has some other tips, I would appreciate it.

May be you bricked your phone. You can try solutions mentioned below:

It's not bricked..if you're seeing anything on the screen, it should be recoverable. And even hard bricked phone can be saved with the UnBrickablemod.

Okay heres the thing. Easy Reboot Recovery does nothing, just opens and closes, I guess since it kinda doesn't recognize the USB from the phone. Then I used SGS Rescue Kit, launched OneClick.jar, connected the phone, clicked unsoft brick and it said Sucessful, the phone started showing the Samsung logo, but then nothing happens. Tried Easy Reboot Recovery again, but nothing. Any ideas?

Can you still access download mod ( Volume Key down + Menu + Power ) ?
If yes you can download a stock ROM that includes PIT PDA PHONE CSC and BOOTLOADER files, this page contains links to all theses files :
http://www.androidgen.fr/tutoriel-s...id-gingerbread-2-3-6-odin-article-2110-2.html
Now once you download these files just start Odin and put:
s1_odin_20100512.pit in PIT
CODE_I9000XWJVZ_CL762604_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 in PDA
MODEM_I9000XXJVT_REV_00_CL1064602.tar.md5 in MODEM
GT-I9000-CSC-HOME-MULTI-OXAJVT.tar.md5 in CSC
APBOOT_I9000XWJVZ_CL762604_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 in BOOTLOADER
Make sure that "Re-Partition" is checked as shown in this Screenshot:

"lightbox_close": "Close",

[Samsung S5 klte] Problem, button.

Hello everyone.
I have a small problem, before long I had a new ROM, so I decided to change it to the original through odin.
But I was without the power button, it was broken. After the installation got stuck in the Samsung loop, is it possible to solve without the button? I need to get into recovery mode.
:good::good:

well, you can try to pull the battery and hold the vol and home button while putting the battery back in. the power button isnt really needed to get it into recovery or download other than making it start the sequence

I apologize
I did not realize what I meant.
Adb is not enabled. I changed the ROM to the original.
I can get into recovery mode, I just can not continue because the power button is broken. And I can not clear the cache.

Thank you,

Was this ever resolved?

I was able to boot into download mode using Miracle crack 2.58. From there I flashed the stock firmware and phone booted up no problem

Thanks all. I finally did it. Sorry for the late reply

Phone can't boot into recovery mode, unresponsive, help

The phone is stock android, no custom anything, unrooted.
My phone froze last night while opening an app; I tried to do a hard reset on it and since then it is stuck on this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The screen doesn't turn off, the phone responds to volume down+power button only, it turns itself off briefly, vibrates and then it is stuck on that screen again.
I tried plugging it in, pressing volume down+power button, and when it is plugged in it shows this:
I let the battery drain over night - it was completely dead this morning, when I plugged it in it just showed the battery screen. Did volume down+power again, and the same thing keeps happening - if it is connected to a charger it displays the battery icon, if it is not connected to a charger it displays the Galaxy s7 Edge logo.
There is no indication that the phone is charging, however; after the battery drained completely and I plugged it in this morning, when I disconnected the charger, the phone stayed on, so it is receiving juice.
I tried every combination of buttons that is possible, I also tried cleaning the connection port and using a different charger, as well as plugging it into my laptop. Nothing worked. Currently I'm letting it charge fully, to see if that might help.
Also - the phone's motherboard was replaced less then a month ago, so I doubt that it is the problem. If anyone has had a similar issue, and managed to resolve it, please help!
Edit: I left it charging for about 30 minutes, it still can't turn on, but the phone did warm up considerably.

Don't Panic Yet.
1. Download the latest firmware from sammobile.com or other sites.
2. Download ODIN
3. Press vol up + vol down + power + home for 8 second
4. When you see the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge screen, release the power and vol up button. Continue holding vol down + home button. This will lead you to the download screen.
5. Now connect your phone through odin and flash the downloaded firmware. Make sure you selected correct files for bl + ap + cp + csc.
Hopefully this will restore the official firmware. If not, you can try with Kies Emergency recovery. Knox will still remain 0x0

Thank you for the response. The problem is that the phone will not go into the download screen - after I release the volume up and power button, it does not move from the Edge logo screen. When I did that while the phone was connected to the charger, the screen only showed the battery icon.

Download mode is actually volume down + menu button + power button... Keep holding this even of battery icon is showing while charging. Keep on holding it, it will eventually enter download mode. Then u need press volume up to accept the prompt about download mode..
