What buttons do I need to press to get this phone into recovery mode. Absolutely nothing comes up when I try to google it or search for this phone it's driving me nuts. I've got it into download mode no problem but recovery I can't find a process on.
I know there are multiple threads that tell you how, but after you flash CMW and are turning your phone on you want to hold down the power button, volume up, and the home button. When the Samsung logo comes up, let go of the power button but hold down the others. That will take you into recovery.

That's using adb on a computer attached to your phone. adb is part of the Android SDK.
Thanks. I'm not big on the command-line stuff. I just copy/paste the lines when instructed to do so.
If you're rooted, you can also use an app like Quick Boot.

Can you boot the phone? If so, use Rom Manager to boot into recovery from the main options menu.

not sure if this will work as he says he's on stock. unless it's stock rooted by attn1 that is.
otherwise, if you have the android sdk and/or adb installed, you can just pass open a command prompt in the folder with adb and connect your phone over usb (make sure debugging mode is enabled via settings --> apps --> development). then in the command prompt, simply type adb reboot recovery.
hope tihs helps
Even when you use ROM manager to boot into recovery how are you going to use recovery without your volume buttons working?

As long as the power (enter) button works, you ate okay. The menu softkey will scroll down and the return will take you back one menu.
Edit: are okay

Tried that and all you get is the rom manager picture in the middle of the screen.
What version has those options in it ?
Have found a program in Desire HD development.
You can change your recovery.

Yes with adb command line, in the PC typing "adb reboot recovery", this method working very fine too if your phone stuck in boot loop and the volume keys not working, for this problem the steps are:
1. remove battery
2. insert battery and put the cover
3. conect the usb cable to pc and phone
4. waiting 10 seconds and with adb command line in the PC typing "adb reboot recovery" and the phone restart in recovery mode and here you navigate with the touch buttons home= up menu=down search=enter

Anyone knows the command in adb to boot the phone into download mode? I broke the volume flex cable and it's softbricked now

I'm pretty sure its "reboot download" just like through a terminal emulator from the phone (root required).

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

You can't. Either your power button needs to be working or you phone needs to actually boot up to send it into recovery
i can get the phone to boot...i just cant get into recovery
i can get to the bootloader screen i just cant select..recovery
What I meant by boot was to actually boot up the os. Not just make it to the bootloader.
so basically im ****ed??
Unless you get the power button to work you are stuck.
bump bump...anyone got any ideas!?!?!
adb reboot recovery ? Won't that work ?
Once you get into recovery you can use the bottom four buttons to navigate through recovery. If I am not mistaken Menu to scroll up, Home button to scroll down, Search to select and Back to go to the previous menu.
Anyways you can always flash from command line using fastboot.
When your power button is broke you can't scroll and select anything in fastboot. It freezes.
You can't adb reboot recovery if the phone doesn't boot up the os. Can't use any fastboot commands either cause its stuck.
He is screwed. Getting power button to work/unstick whatever you want to call it is only way.

If I am not mistaken he can boot into OS, He can go to bootloader but he just can't select Recovery because of the broken power button.
So using adb and fastboot shouldn't be a problem at all. As far CW recovery is concerned you can navigate without using power button as well

problem solved...i took the phone apart and cleaned the power button with alcohol..and it worked!!
For possible future use, you can install an app called Rebooter, which can boot your phone right into recovery.

What happened?
This is a common result if you flash a non-4.2 twrp on a 4.2 bootloader, which will cause a fastboot flash brick.
You will need adb drivers installed on pc, then while in recovery connect your tab to pc, open a command prompt and cd to you android-sdk/platform-tools folder and type
Code:
adb devices
if adb is setup correctly you will get a response with your devices s/n. If this is ok then type
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
which will reboot your tab to the bootloader screen.
The problem is that whenever I boot up, all i get is the TWRP menu, not letting the pc see the pad. On device manager I get Transformer under other devices. Ive downloaded the drivers, but its not installing them. When I run adb reboot-bootloader, I get device not found.
Have a look here, scroll down and follow on from the where you see the device manager image - this worked for me to get adb working from recovery.
So did this happen after you flashed twrp 2.4.4.0-4.2? or did you flash another twrp or cwm?
Heading out now for a few hours but will be back later

Still nothing. Whats killing me is that it cant detect different sd cards.
Hello i tried to flash twrp recovery on my htc 820u but i think it didn't install. Phone was still working correctly until i tried to do a factory reset. Now it will just boot into recovery every time and i have only a black screen. the phone vibrates when i touch the screen but i cannot switch it off. when i reboot it just goes back to recovery.
Can anyone suggest something please? Is there a way to prevent the phone from booting into recovery?
PS: I'm on lollipop 5.0

You must not duplicate the post in different forum for the same topic.
Anyway, do it as follow:
1. Connect your device to the PC once it is booted into twrp recovery
2. Copy your Lollipop recovery to the device over adb: adb push recovery.img /external_sd/recovery.img
3. Run: adb shell
4. Run in shell: dd if=/external_sd/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p44
5. Run in shell: reboot
If the device reboots into stock recovery, press and hold vol up + vol down + power until the display goes black. Release the vol up button immediately (while still holding other buttons). Device will reboot into fastboot. Select reboot from the menu.
Hope you are back to business.

By any chance would you happen to know why the twrp shows black screen? it is still functionnal, would it be because of incompatibility with lollipop? and any way to fix it?
PS: it worked fine on kitkat.

It goes in sleeping mode, you can disable this in settings=> screen=> enable/disable screen timeout (all in twrp)

What can I do when (for step 2) I do not have a recovery? Can I use one not coming from this Phone?
I did encounter the same "reboot to recovery bug" but I got it from updating the SU Binary.
Hope you can help me.
Hi guys, same problem here, with twrp apparently functioning but nothing displays on screen. Also, impossible to boot the device properly.
Tried the whole adb procedure mentioned above, did nothing as far as I can tell. Trying to reboot from fastboot leads to the HTC green boot logo, but no further... What should I try now ? Is it possible to inject a stock rom from HTC and where can I get it ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
thank you this helped me too
