I've a S4 I9500 copy from China running JB 4.2.2 and I proceed to install the CWM. Everything went without any problem.
When I press the Vol Up + Power button, what I see is a upside down CWM main menu .. Every options are working fine.
How to get it back to normal display?
I read somewhere that this happens on some newer chips..Nothing to worry about though

I have a fully rooted my touch 4g. I wiped everything and down graded clockworkmod from 3 to 2 and put in the stock rom into my sdcard. Now I am stuck.
What happens is:
I dont see ClockworkMod When I press and hold volume down and power button to turn the phone on
I get the usual very colorfull stock menu ( the one with green,red and blue writings)
When I put the original stock rom and turn the phone on for recovery It fails to install it
I have tried adb but phone is not regonized be pc anymore
I need directions to fix this issue ( Please Reply only if you have knowladge about this stuff)
Thank youuu
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

Okay guys, I have an annoying problem. My phone after the ICS update does not want to go into CWM Recovery with the Power button + vol down (or up) method. I can never get the darn thing to work. It just loads up until the white samsung logo and then goes black and just vibrates. Any idea what could be the problem? It's an issue because it means I can't root or anything since stock won't allow me to go into recovery. The only way I used to get into recovery was through rom manager and I obviously need super user permissions to do that.
Another thing is, whenever I power on my phone with the usb cord plugged in, it automatically enters download mode. I know you're suppose to hold certain buttons but I just power the thing on and it goes straight to the DL mode screen. I'm thinking these two things could be related.
Any idea on how to fix this? I went back to complete stock and it didn't do a thing.

I wasn't being specific, I just named the buttons off the top of my head. Either way, the methods don't work

My phone was being a bit finicky with this as well, I found the below sequence to work for me every time.
Press and hold both vol+ and vol-
Press and hold power
Wait until phone is vibrating once every couple of seconds
Release power
Release vol+ and vol-

u need to b specific to get proper help.
u stated "Either way, the methods don't work ", specifically what methods r u talking about, there is only one method in using the buttons that works as RabidSmurf has stated, but first pull battery and dont keep usb plugged in, if that didnt work redownload cwm, check the md5 checksum and reflash using odin
To get into download mode I'm holding power+vol up+vol down
after the phone starts up release the power and keep holding up+down.
Let me know how it works.

Make sure it is not attached to any USB. Not even the power outlet because it will take you to firmware update mode (download mode) and hold up down volume keys and power until you see the white Samsung logo. good luck!
i had to deal with this when the firmware failed to ugprade for some reason, what i did was download odin and the stock rom and flash it with odin, i was back up in no time

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

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!
My samsung p6200 is woking almost fine but i am not able to go into the download mode when i press volume down button and power the screen is at samsung logo it stays for a while and then it restarts from there,its the stock rom that's messd up i belive any help how to go into downlod mose other way would b apriciated
like title says, when I try to enter download mode it just goes black again like it's booting and nothing happens. I thought it might be a bad power button but when I went back to stock with Odin a few months ago it was working fine (power button problem but could still get to download).. so I think it might have been the rom (carbon 4.3)
I've been running Carbonrom 4.3 nightlies and they've been ok but then the power button problem started coming back up, and last night when I went back to stock again it was fine, the power button worked fine until I flashed a nightly I knew would work back from Sept. Now I can boot up the phone, the power button does NOT work, and when I try to reboot to recovery or download mode it just goes black and nothing happens like it's restarting. Taking the battery out and plugging to my PC does nothing, the red notification light comes on and then goes off.. Odin never sees it
Only thing I know to do now is let the batter drain all the way down and see what happens, but for now I can't even Odin back to stock. Any ideas at all?
little bit of an update: I was able to finally get into download mode by removing the plastic power button, booting normally and shutting it down completely, and then using the power-down-home combo.... after going back to stock via Odin, the power button works perfectly.. gonna reroot and try to update to 4.3 gradually
after 4 days of perfectly running Liquidsmooth rom 2.37 (4.3.1) the power button is acting up again so I removed the button completely again and just won't use it, seems to be working at the moment
if anyone knows a way to fix this besides taking it in for repair please post
