How to get into download or recovery without 3 button combo - Captivate General

Download the AIO toolbox, connect your phone turned on and click reboot into recovery or reboot into download this worked for me with phone stuck on cognition screen! no jig needed!

I did it by using adb.

the jig is only used to get into download mode, and it is only needed if the phone is 'clayed' (aka soft bricked) and has a broken 3 button combo.
you can also get into download or recovery through the android debug bridge with the commands:
adb reboot download
adb reboot recovery
Note: these commands will not work if clayed, since the computer will not recognize or communicate with the phone.

it says usb driver is not recognized after I click 1click to flash to stock. my drivers are installed and they work when I mount the phone. but the drivers do not work with odin. what do I do? i am using windows 7 64 bit

With the AIO app go to advanced then click reboot to download mode. The that's how it worked for me

[Q] Fastboot does nothing!

Hey,
i just wanted to flash the newest clockworkmod but my fastboot.exe does nothing.
Phone is in fastbootmode, please help
Windows 7 x64...but it worked the other day
Fastboot flash recovery "recovery".img where "recovery" stands for the numbers of the recovery in tools folder i believe.
Also if you run 2.3.4, recovery wil not stick after reboot unless you change something ( i believe the recovery.sh file), hope this helps!

i can flash the recovery fia ROMManager, and also can boot into it, but when i boot the phone into bootloader/fastboot mode i can't flash a new recovery, because when i hit enter after "fastboot" i get no output in cmd
If you don't get anything back on fastboot devices, then you either don't have the proper drivers installed, don't have the phone in fastboot mode, or don't have the phone connected via USB. Probably the first one.
Easiest way to get the fastboot drivers is to simply install PDA Net on your computer and follow the on screen prompts. It will automatically install the appropriate drivers for your device.

Did you ever figure this out? I have installed PDA net, drivers, etc, and fastboot simply will not connect to my phone. Win7x64.

Need more info.
Did you install the "ADB Bootloader Interface" driver?
Did you boot the the phone into the bootloader before trying the fastboot command? (ie. UP + PWR)

ADB download mode command

Anyone knows the command in adb to boot the phone into download mode? I broke the volume flex cable and it's softbricked now
Sent from my MT11i using XDA
I'm pretty sure its "reboot download" just like through a terminal emulator from the phone (root required).
#su
#reboot download
adb shell
$ su
#reboot download
There is no need for su if you have a #

I think I'm also experiencing the same thing, and could really use someone's help.
I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 and have rooted it. My display is broken, so would try to use the how-to to create a headless backup.
When I try to reboot it into download mode, it seems to never come back. I believe it's waiting for a keypress on the phone, or scrolling through a menu to select the right option so it can continue to boot. Can anyone with a working display confirm this for me?
I rooted it a while ago, so don't remember what's on the screen.
When I try to reboot in recovery mode, I'm also unable to select the proper menu option to continue to boot into recovery mode.
Is it always necessary to boot into download mode first, or only if you want to download something? In other words, if I only want to reboot into recovery, can I skip the download mode boot first?
Ideas greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Alex
You don't need to enter download mode first. From command prompt enter adb reboot recovery and your good to go
thanks this saved a lot of hours

I also installed custom rom AOSPrime. and then for going back to stock, i needed to enter download mode. None of the commands worked. i made a backup of everything in twrp except system and data. so i restored that back, and then voila, the LG logo was back but didnt boot(obvious). Now i could easily go by the vol up and then usb connection process to goto download mode.
the default stock settings enable the download mode to work.
if anyone needs the backup, mine may be of other region, but it could surely bring back the lg logo and stuff.
quote me and i will post the link
ggossamer : before download mode you need to confirm download mode with volume+ or you can cancel the thing with vol- , IIRC .
For your other questions, I think, recovery with a broken screen might be difficult, maybe use ADB

[Q] Asus TF101 Soft Brick Re-loop HELP!

Hi everyone,
after days of researching this issue I'm finally at wits end. After installing the Playstore version of ROM Manager, my Asus has been stuck in CWM recovery mode with the inability to mount any drives. When I re-boot the tablet gets stuck on the load screen. I have tried several methods to flash the tablet using:
- NVFLASH
- EASY FLASHER
- FASTBOOT
- ONE CLICK RECOVERY
- ADB PUSH
The recurring issue that I seem to be encountering using these methods is that my PC recognizes the tablet in APX mode (I have tried both naked & usbpcdrivers) but the utility software does not. When I boot into recovery mode ADB recognizes my device but does not in APX mode. When I run NVFLASH while in APX mode my tablet gets disconnected from the PC and I receive a USB write error from NVFLASH.
Prior to the failure I successfully rooted my device using Baidu Root. At this point I don't even know how to power off the device as the only way to exit the loop is to boot into recovery or APX mode.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as my experience with these matters are limited.
Thanks

First recommendation, stay away from ROM Manager, our device doesn't like it. You need to try and uninstall all usb drivers associated with tf101 and start over. I used the drivers from BRK's v.8 Tool Kit. You may need to find some newer adb files to swap out with his, but try first. To clean all the drivers may require connecting the tab to pc in different modes to even see some of the drivers, but see what's in Programs & Features - Remove function in Windows. You will also need the stock ROM downloaded from Asus site before you start. If you can get into recovery, then you should have an option in there to power off the device. If you get that far, then his tool has the nvflash pieces to start from scratch and get rooted and install an older custom recovery. Go with the CWM version there and, ultimately, change it out to the latest TWRP as soon as possible. Getting the drivers for Windows working is the hardest part, assuming everything else works. Conflicting USB drivers will be nothing but headaches, as you've found out.
Hi,
just to be clear, when the tablet is in APX mode, is ADB supposed to be able to detect it when the adb devices command is used?

I don't think so. It's like download mode on other Android devices. You should be able to access via adb in Android, with USB debugging enabled, or in some custom recoveries, my TWRP builds for one. I believe nvflash is the only method to communicate with APX mode.

Hi,
I have re-installed drivers, but the PC still disconnects my tablet when running NVFLASH, I have read that a utility named WHEELIE might assist in unlocking the bootloader on my device allowing NVFLASH to run successfully. The problem is I can not locate the windows version of this file anywhere. All of the links point to a website named AndroidRoots, but the file seems to have been removed from the site.
Any Ideas where I can locate this program?
Thanks again.

BRK's version 8 tool I referenced uses wheelie to cover all possible skus of tf101 and works well for me. As far as drivers, you have to make sure there's only one set installed for tf101.

Does the wheelie script run automatically when I invoke the rootkit app, or do I have to manually run it from a CMD window?

It runs it where needed within a windows app interface, completely transparent once you start the program executable by double clicking it. You'll see a command window, but it just shows you the progress.

I have finally got my device up and running again.
My next step is to flash the new KatKiss ROM, can I do this using BRK's toolkit by substituting my stock rom file with the new one, or is it to better to install the new rom from recovery and external SD card?

I would just install it from recovery and ext sdcard, easier if you've already cleaned and repartitioned, etc with a stock rom.

Device stuck in Bootloop | Can Access Fastboot | Commands don't work

My Oneplus One - 64GB was running LiquidSmooth's Alpha ROM.
I hadn't used the phone in like a month. A couple of days ago i thought there'd be an updated version so i just downloaded a later version. I think I flashed the 01-22 Build.
I did not do a full wipe however. (I realize now that It would have been a good idea to do a full wipe before the flash. :s )
I assumed that since the base of the ROM was the same lollipop, all I had to do was wipe cache/dalvik and flash the update.
Installation proceeded as usual and I wiped cache/dalvik(I'm never sure when to do this so i do it before and after install) once more and then Reboot System.
But the phone went on a bootloop for like 10minutes or so.
I tried to get into Recovery but it just wouldn't. It would just show the 1+ Logo and Powered by android screen and then turn off..
I did however manage to get into the fastboot mode by pressing power +vol up.
Now the problem is, the device doesn't show up in the command prompt when i type
Code:
fastboot devices
I uninstalled all the usb drivers from my pc.
Installed the Universal ADB drivers from kouch's site but still no progress..
Device manager still shows the phone as an unknown device.
What am I doing wrong? What can i do to get the phone to be recognized so I can flash the recovery and flash a new ROM?
It's related of firmware change. After 01.17.2015 you must flash the latest CM12 rom and then flash the rom you want.
That's a known "issue". Hope it helps.
Problem is:
1. I no longer have a working recovery(can't boot into recovery).
2. Rom doesn't boot, stuck in a bootloop.
3. Can get into fastboot mode, but pc doesn't recognize device and it doesn't show up when i type "fastboot devices".
I've already installed "Universal ADB Drivers from here -> http://www.koushikdutta.com/post/universal-adb-driver
What can i do to be able to access phone via fastboot?
Should i remove these drivers and try another driver? If so, which other driver should i install and test with?
I don't have any critical data on the phone, I just want to get it working again so my family members can decide who wants the phone.

Hello, I also cannot use adb to boot to download mode. To be honest, I am not quite sure what is download mode. Is it similar to fastboot mode? My S6 cannot boot, it just says that there is no home app available, and than just error after error. Cannot use it at all. So I tried to boot to download mode, no success with buttons combination (home+volume down+power). so I installed adb and fastboot. ADB doesnt see my phone, and fastboot does, but I do not know what is command for it. I would like to use Odin to flash new rom, maybe that will fix the phone, but cannot use it if I cannot go to download mode. So any help is welcome.
