Galaxy S I9000 2.3.3 recovery mode issue.

Hi there. i flashed my SGS to the new 2.3.3 using Odin my kernel is DamianGTO beta 7 the problem is that i can get into recovery mode but i cant see the menu. instead i see the galaxy logo. i know that im in recovery mode because when i click the home button the phone reboots and start normally but when i go down with the volume buttons and click. the phone will not respond cause i clicked on some other option than the reboot. so what can i do in that case ?
and sorry for my bad english.

No one had this problem before? Im out of clues.

I have the same problem, so I'm too stucked now because CWM cannot boot into recovery mode too (i can only see the Galaxy S GT-I9000 SAMSUNG logo ... it reboot by pressing home buttom, so my guess is the same as you, the recovery mode is there but you cannot see the menu... )

[HELP] about rooting

i rooted my phone before with amits universal GB CF
i noticed that the 3 button recovery dont work anymore... is this normal? do i have to click CWM always in apps drawer instead of the 3 button to go into recover?
secondly, my brother wants his i9003 rooted too
he is also on DXKP9, and DONT want another firmware on his phone like XXKPQ
i was planning on using UC-Kernel on it, would it be possible that it will work on stock DXKP9 without issues? i read that UC-kernel already has CF.ROOT and touch CWM Recovery with it but its for XXKPQ..... interested to know on issues related to DXKP9 if any before i flash.
and lastly...whats the difference with UC-Kernel v9 1009...2009 and 3009 ?

IMP : Before you do anything make a backup
1) No that is not normal. May be you aren't pressing the buttons properly.
2) Follow the procedure to go to recovery. Press the Volume Up key + Menu key and then pressing the former two keys you need to power ON the device after which you will see the recovery screen.
3) I think UC-Kernal is universal. May be it works. Im not sure. Why dont you try and let others know ? or you can wait till someone who has flashed that firmware and UC-Kernel to answer.
4) And about UC-Kernel v9 1009...2009 and 3009 , those are 3 test versions of the kernel with different voltages supplied. For more details on that check this post by "inciongd". He's explained it beautifully.

Do not do the VOL UP+MENU+POWER while your device is ON. Turn it OFF and then press VOL UP+MENU first then hold the POWER button until you see the samsung logo or until CWM recovery loads up. I was not able to go to recovery mode/download mode until I turn off my device.

thanks for the replies guys
but i already those 3 buttons a few times with phone turned off...already know about this since i go to recovery long ago without CWM when i do hard reset
but im new to CWM and rooting
so i had cleared cache and dalvik cache a few times already
i can only go to recovery via the CWM app
the 3 button recovery dont work for me
my buttons are all working...
the problem is when i do the 3 button recovery, it goes to samsung logo, fades for a few seconds then goes back to samsung logo again...it just vibrates and go back to samsung logo if i keep holding on.
anyone tried the universal GB amit CF.root with touch recovery and experienced the same?

U have the extended power menu too..
but since u mentioned logo fading thingy...
Dude ur pressing the buttons too long..
as soon as u see the samsung logo appear LEAVE the buttons..u will enter the recovery mode..

nope i dont have extended power menu
im not using any custom roms with those, just stock DXKP9
before if i hold it long,it will bring me to recovery mode before i release
after the rooting with universal by amit...it will fade and just boot up
i tried your advice to release it in samsung logo and it will only boot up, tried a few times
also tried releasing it when it starts to fade,also boots up
no recovery

You can wipe data/ factory reset after installing the stock firmware. Boot into Recovery Mode by holding down Power and Volume Up buttons together until the screen turns on. When the Samsung logo appears, let go of the Power button but keep holding down the Volume Up button until the device boots into recovery. In Recovery Mode, select Wipe data/Factory reset and select Yes on next screen. Select Reboot system now to reboot the tablet

So i flashed the device and it said passed. It rebooted but it's stuck on the samsung logo after it does the sound. I'm able to get into download mode any ideas?

Unable to boot GT-P6200 in recovery mode

Hi
I cannot get my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus (GT-P6200) to boot in recovery mode.
I tried the following:
1) Switch off the Tab.
2) Press the Power + Volume Up buttons simultaneously until I see the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus" screen, then release the Power button and keep pressing the Volume Up button. The tab then get's stuck on the Samsung screen, even if I release the Volume Up button. It stays on this screen indefinitely, only option is to reboot by keeping the power button pressed for 5 seconds.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

same issue
I am having the same issue as well. My tab gets stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus" screen and does not move on from that. When i try to boot in recovery mode the screen is just black and slightly illuminated. Please help

Same problem
any help ???

On which verison thar ur on???? have u tried to wiping data in stock recovery
??

same problem I'm having with my Samsung Gt-p6200, it just boot-loops to the "samsung galaxy tab 7.0" boot loading screen and hangs.. these happened after i flashed my firmware from stock honeycomb to jellybean(the austria firmware, i think that's been posted in this forum).
here's what happened before the problem:
-I flash the stock honeycomb firmware with the jellybean one that i found here..
-after i flashed using ODIN, the new firmware works great, i was even informed that i have free 50GB worth of dropbox space,
the file was named P6200XXMC3_P6200OXAMC3_ATO
- I have used it for a day, until the battery drains and i have to charge, but when i opened it again, it already does this "boot loop" problem
- i have tried flashing CWM with ODIN(as i've read here somewhere that it might help) and do that wipe cache and factory reset thing but that didnt help solved the problem.
hope anyone could help me, im also thinking flashing it back to it's original stock firmware but I dont have a backup of that and I dont know where to get one, I've been searching the net for two days for that stock rom but all i found are the new jellybean ones and some old ones but is uploaded to hotfile which is now deleted or locked.
I hope you guys could help me out and thanks in advance!

try flashing a new , latest firmware on odin
just try it.

Hello guys! Im also having this same issue.
*Using the same firmware that was posted here in xda because i was having trouble downloading those official jellybean firmwares
*The battery got drained
then if i charge it, it will remain in a "blank slightly illuminated screen"
* after a few munutes, the tab gets really warm.
*but if i dont charge it, it will get drained again because it keeps on turning on itself back to this time to the "galaxy tab plus screen"
I cant access recovery mode.
I can access odin mode and can flash successfully with cwm or the same firmware back but the problem still persist.
I havent tried other firmwares though.
4 days passed already and i cant figure this out
Please help

So I had this happen to me yesterday, where it rebooted randomly on me, only to freeze on the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus screen. I had custom recovery (TWRP) don't know if that matters, but I was able to access it by holding Power+UpVol but keep it held. It would freeze on the same spot but since I was still holding the keys it reboots a second time and this time it would go into recovery.
I then wipes cache and dalvik, no go. Sadly did a full wipe. Still no going past the tab plus text. So I flash MF1 official 4.1.2 firmware (I was previously on 4.1.2 UK official) still no go. Put in latest 2.8 TWRP and booted into it still with some trouble as I mentioned above. Did another wipe and it then hung on blank screen or so I thought. Took a long time to boot and after a long time, and the Android is upgrading message, by some weird chance I was on the MF1 official rom but all my apps settings everything was saved.
Working 100% now and I still don't really know what the hell happened. But if this helps anyone then all the better!
