I'm following the guide here to install a rooted gingerbread rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127121
I've gotten to the step where I'm in a bootloop showing the fugu tweaks but I can't seem to get back into download mode. The first time I had to get into download mode i used the vol Up + down then plugged in the USB cable and it worked. After flashing in odin that method wouldn't work so I just did adb reboot download to get there.
Any ideas?

Just hold down power and the down volume button. Or you can pull the battery and hold down the volume down and power and put the battery back in.
What comes up? Does it talk about a failed recovery?

Volume down and power will put you in download mode. Then you flash the GB Zimage using Heimdall or flashing the Zimage.tar in Odin. Follow the instructions in the OP. After you get the funny loop screen power down. Then volume down and power to get in download mode. Connect usb and use Heimdall to flash the zimage or just use Odin and place the zimage tar in pda nothing else and flash.
Get Zimage.tar for Odin here

I didn't know that you only need vol. down to get into download. Thought you had to do vol. down + up.
But thanks for the help, I got it working
No problem. Glad you got it working

Lost my recovery. So I got the VERY first GB leak on this phone the KF1. I tried searching but to no avail. Alright. So I dont have a recovery mode. How? Everytime I do the button combo to go into it, it takes me straight to download mode. I've played around a bit on it and I got it to work off adb but I want to get it back into the volume combo thing. Any ideas how to get that back? I have no idea of CWM works on this version but Im open to stuff. Also on a mac not pc so ODIN isnt an option at the moment.
Please, do not, I repeat, DO NOT flash KF1/2. Those were horrible.
The method of getting into recovery and download mode is different from every other ROM.
I believe it was just holding either volume up and power or volume down and power.

Yeah, what bkoon said. I'd flash the base KG4 (first GB with the right boot loaders) then maybe drop a more updated ROM on it. I'm currently on KJ6. Probably will put drhonk's latest kernel on it for cwm
, root, & voodoo.
I'm not sure of the button combo for recovery, I use either the quickboot app (requires root) or the Android SDK so I can use adb.

Vol up+vol down+power. As soon as see the splash screen let go.
But the kf series has jacked bootloaders. ODIN KH2, then odin drhonk's modded kh2 kernel, then feel free to flash what you want

try this
try to force the download mode by :
1) remove the battery
2) hold down the volume down button
3) plug usb
4) put battery back
5) wait till you see the download mode screen
6) use odin to restore your original kernel/modem/firmware
Odin back to stock rom with stock recovery.. Then flash cwm over stock one
Just to make sure you are holding power and both volume buttons and letting go of power after logo screen

flashing a rom doesnt muck up recovery, power down phone, no usb cable plugged in, hold down both volume buttons +-, then hold power button until first logo screen appears, let go of power button while still holding down both volume buttons +- for 1 or 2 more sec, then release volume keys
I am new to the ROM scene. I recently tried to install the MIUI ROM, but the text messaging didn't work. So I tried to install another ROM (Dark Knight). Now my phone only boots to recovery mode. I have searched the internet for a solution, but cannot find one. Any help would be appreciated.

That's a recovery bootloop caused by switching from MIUI to ICS, similar to switching from GB to ICS ..

Return back to stock using this: Heimdall One-click Back-To-Stock UCLB3
then flash one of entropys daily drivers using the same method but with this: Entropy heimdal kernels/recovery (this will give you red cwm allowing you to flash roms...if you flash ics from this recovery you will need to do a double flash-flash like normal, then reboot back to recovery and flash again
both links are taking from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
How to get in download mode (needed to run the programs i linked):
1) remove battery
2) put battery back in
3) hold volume up+down simultaneously -but do not touch the power button...don't touch the power button, just don't do it lol
4) while holding both volume keys connect your phone to the computer using a usb data cable (like the one that came with the phone)
-you should now be in download mode or at a screen giving you the option to boot to download mode or reboot system

A while back I flashed my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 with a SLIM Rom. I used Odin way back to do get what I needed. It has been a while since I loaded a custom rom, but maybe I am missing a step to get CWM loaded so I can load another custom rom. The following are the steps that I go through.
1. Power the device down
2. Boot the device into recovery mode (HOLD Power button + volume down). the screen says it is in ODIN Mode.
3. Plug in the USB
4. Fire up Odin
5. Load 'GT-P3113_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0.tar' in the PDA field
6. Click Start
Then the device boots up normally and then loads like normal. How do I get it to boot CWM in the recovery mode?
Hold power + home + bolume up button to boot into recovery
Greetings
Thanks for your reading!
I tried flashing some ROMS onto this phone using download mode using ODIN. I was trying to flash TWRP, MAGISK and LineageOS using some files on this forum to no luck. I am new to ODIN and it appears strange to use!
It appears after doing so that it is going into boot loop mode now and won't boot normally at all.
I can still get into download mode using vol down + bixby + power
But it won't let me go into recovery mode using vol up + bixby + power no matter how long I do it
Can someone point me to the correct files to download and procedure to get this phone up and running again?
Can someone provide assistance?
Got it working by using an older version of TWRP! Whew... thanks
