Hey guys,
I followed the instructions from the following URL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227618
In regards to Rooting my Phone which is now running Telus Stock Gingerbread.
I have no problems flashing the Speedmod kernel with odin but i am unable to boot into recovery mode [vol up & down + power button].
I've tried the [Home + Vol up + power button] but still no luck. Wondering why other Telus Fascinate owners are able to boot into recovery when I can't.
Does anyone know why I can't get into recovery mode?
Thanks,
I did hear that a few of the telus fascinates do not have the actual hardware option enabled to get into recovery mode.
Has anybody else that owns a telus fascinate having problems getting into recovery mode?

When you are trying to boot into recovery (holding vol up&down+power) are you letting go of the power once the boot screen appears (The one that says SGH-T959D)?
I notice that if I don't let go out power it will continuously reboot. I see that another user in the link you posted is having issues with that CWM. Maybe try posting in that thread or wait for a response.
Are you looking for simply stock 2.3.3 rooted with CWM? Or something like CM7?
Thanks for you reply.
I would like to post it in that forum but I do not have enough posts yet to post in the other development forums.
I do let go of the power button at the right time because I'm use to getting it into 'Download' mode without any issues. Plus the fact that I have also tried almost every Volume up, down and home combination to try get it into recovery. No such luck through.
All I'm wanting right now is to simply get Gingerbread rooted on my phone.
Sorry guys it finally worked after numerous trys.
Cheers

Hey all,
I'm going from the Eclair I9000 ROM back to stock, and then to Unleash the Beast 0.2. I'm back to the stock build (JF6), and am now trying to run update.zip from the root of the internal SD. Problem is, I cannot figure out how to boot into recovery mode to save my life.
I've searched for a couple hours, and came upon one thread that described the exact same problem, but said that a reflash using Odin one-click worked. I'm not so lucky.
I successfully ran the one-click Odin3 tool, but I'm still pretty sure my Captivate thinks it's an I9000, and is looking for me to press a non-existant home key to get into recovery mode. Any suggestions on how to get into recovery mode? I've tried every variation of your standard Vol up + Vol down + Power.
Thanks in advance!
Is the i9000 boot screen still come up before the att screen?

I'm not sure if you figured this out already but while your phone is off, simply press the volume up, volume down, and power buttons. Once you see the AT&T logo let go of the power button while keeping your fingers pressed down on the volume buttons. Keep the volume buttons held down until you see the recovery menu. Once there, (assuming you've already placed an update.zip file on your internal SD card) select Reinstall Packages and away you go!

Mine did that after I installed the I9000 rom, to fix it I used the one click odin but before clicking start to go back to stock I used the master clear button and let it run for a couple of minutes, even though it never got off the "starting master clear" in the script window it did the trick. I don't have the I9000 boot screen anymore and the normal button combo now works.
If you can't get anywhere doing this you can always use the batch files from SDK tools, just use the reboot into recovery one.
I was trying to update my droid to a gingerbread from steeldroid section of ROM manager. I was using BB Gingerbread rom before doing this. Everything went fine, but it's stuck on the motorola logo. I know that you can get into recovery mode by pressing down power button and x, but I can't do this because my power button is broken. Is there any way to revert it back to the way it was? or is there maybe a way to get it into recovery mode another way?
Note: I have read other threads of people with similar problems. The difference between them and me is that they were able to get into recovery mode to reflash while I AM NOT able to do so. This is because my power button is completely useless on the phone...someone please tell me it's not totally bricked.
Thanks to anyone that can offer help!
i know there are people saying they loaded the epic4G/Vibrant Recovery successfully (with No SD card Detection though :/)
i would like to know if when you boot into recovery, when you go to advanced options do yu have the option to reboot into download mode ? if so does it work ?
There's no option for download mode in ClockworkMod that I can see, using the vibrant version. you can get into recovery mode with VolUp+VolMin+Camera. The vibrant version won't stick for me, probably because I tried to flash it after flashing the epic 4g version. If anyone can direct me into how to get back to a stock recovery, it would be much appreciated.

Well there's a thread appropriately titled restoring stock recovery here

Download mode is separate. On the epic you hold 1 on the keyboard as you power on, you can try that for the sk4g
Holding down 1+power never worked for me on my sk4g. I was able to find the keys to get into download mode once, but couldn't do it again. You can use adb reboot download to get into download mode.

thanks, when you managed to find the keys to get into download mode were you using only the external buttons (on the sides) or keys on the qwerty kb as well ? its real handy if we find out how to get into download mode with hardware keys cause if our phones are in a stage where it doesnt boot at all, we could go into download mode and flash back to stock. i'll keep messing around with it to see if i can figure it out
I believe it was only external keys, I'll try and play around with it to see if I can get back into it again.
Maybe it only worked because I had a temporary version of Clockwork that was for the Vibrant? Can someone with the Epic 4g version flashed, who can still get into clockwork, open up the keyboard and find what the up button is mapped to? I believe this will be Volup, Voldown and power, but volup and voldown are messed up by the Epic 4g clockwork.
I got into Download mode! it's the center/optical button, and volume down, and power. Can someone else confirm this?

First, have you ever gone into recovery and now you just cant no matter what you try? Or you never had gone into recovery?
Also:
What ROM are you running?
It was know that last Galnet MIUI "stable" build was making Recovery unnacessible, if you are in that case go Odin sorry no can do.
If you are not on Galnet "stable MIUI" then:
Recovery(The 3 button):
1.-Press Power Button and Volume up and down
2.-When samsung screen appears let got the power button ONLY while mantaining the vol up+down pressed still
3.- about 6 more secs and let go also the vol up and vol down.
4.-You are in recovery.
5.- If you are not pull battery and try again.
Not working? then probably the ROM you where running made Recovery unnacesible too so theres Odin
I was having the same trouble, i flashed MIUI stable rom xD but its now removed from thread right?
Anyways thanks!
I was having trouble going into recovery haha very different from my previous phone (Atrix)
So this is the first time i've borked one of my phones. I have a verizon GS3, i had TKrom b4.0 installed, decided i didn't like it and went to restore my previous backup. It didn't do something right cuz it still had the custom splash screen from TKrom, and it wouldn't go past that. I then clean flashed the newest carbon nightly 10-9-2013 and it said my phone appeared to not be rooted, so i swiped to install su (probably my error) Anyway now it won't boot up or go into recovery (TWRP). Any help would be greatly appreciated, i know this site is filled with knowledgeable induviduals so i don't doubt someone will have the answer. Thanks so much..
Well if you can't get into recovery then your only option at this point is Odin. You can get into download mode right (Power + home + Vol down)

Yeah i can get into Odin, but i'm not sure what to do after that.
How are you trying to get into recovery ?

by holding down volume up+home button+power at the same time. But i ended up doing odin back to stock and redoing root/recovery, luckily i wasn't hard bricked(phew)... Anyways thanks for the help guys
On my son's S3, I couldn't get into recovery one day using that. What ended up working was holding down those (3) buttons and when it vibrates, release the power button but keep the others held down until the splash screen for the recovery tool shows.
