Tried to go into recovery, but the only thing that happens when I hold down the volume up + power + home button is that I see the Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus and the model number, for about 1 minute, then it boots normally, asking me for pin for my sim.
The only thing that I have done which may have something to do with my problem is that I followed this guide for root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387725
What to do?
Did u release power when u see Samsung logo?

But my Samsung galaxy Y pro duos is not entering into recovery mode.
Vol Up+Home+Power combination is not working.
I have tried Vol UP/DOWN+HOme+Power also but the device
does not enter recovery mode. Till the buttons are pressed the device
boot up remains halted. Once I release power button the device boots
normally.
Pls help

Great to know that. but how?
Pls tell me the exact sequence you employed.
I am pressing first Vol UP and then Home button
and while keeping these pressed I am pressing
power button. Samsung model number is flashed
for few seconds and then screen goes blank and
remains blank unless I release the power button.
Once I release the power button the phone boots
normally. Pls help.
You need to press and hold the home button LIGHTLY and just press the power button. DO NOT HOLD the power button just press it.
Good work. Thanks
hi
if i root with this method, and then hard reset my device then will i have to root it again or it will remain rooted after hard reset.
is there any method of unrooting?
explain me some details of the risk involved in rooting, i have purchased the phone last week and dont want to loose it so early. can i brick my phone while rooting?
is it possible to fix the bricked phone?
thank you in advance, and sorry to ask too many questions, but i am new to android.
i have flashed many symbian phones with CFW but in symbian i can always restore original FW if the CFW didnt work or something went wrong. I am learning android please help me...
If you follow any instruction to the letter, there won't be a chance of bricking
You can unroot any time by flashin a stock ROM.

Press and hold volume up and home button and then press (don't hold!) power.
I think corrupt recovery, already tried 2 n 3key combination, nothing works

You need to press the home key LIGHTLY. Pressing too hard will press the adjacent key/s. I had the same issue, but once I learnt to press the home key lightly it works consistently all the time.
off topic: do you guys have problem when holding the touch on this device?(like when you have to change a icon position on the launcher)
@abbas
You said in your first post "I modified this update.zip file for Galaxy y pro ...". Could you please give me a link or post the original update zip for the Galaxy y pro (not your modified one for the duos), please?
thanks in advance
thanx a ton Abbas, tried all possible methods till i read ur advise and it worked in one strike, appreciate it.
Thank you once again.
For the benefit of other members who are trying a factory reset if you have forgotten the password, once you get into the recevoery mode you will be prompted for a password again. Do not worry, enter incorrect password 3-4 times before you get a warning for a factory reset by the system, click on yes and you are back to your new phone (of course if you do not have your data backed up, it will be lost) Also, please ensure to remove your sd card before the factory reset to avoid loss of data.
Hope this helps all.

Hi Dr ketan,

I didn't try it, as it was my friend's device.
Edit: just got chance to retry n works flawless.
3key worked
Vol up + home (lt to centre key) + power
Thanx abbas

thank you abbas for root package, can you provide the unroot zip package also. it will be great to have method to unroot for all the users because in the worst case if we needed to go to samsung people..
thanks for the root package, rep+
Flash any stock rom with pc Odin, wil make totally stock rom.
Usually unroot tools leaves some foot print on device. So above said method is best n safest.

Hi @ all,
after failed attempt to restore a backup ("can't not mount system"), my Nexus S won't start anymore...
Biggest problem: The power button is broken! :/ that means I cannot get in recovery, or even in download or bootloader mode!
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this, or at least get the data from the internal USB storage?
Really grateful for any help ...
Install quick boot from playstore, your phone must be rooted.

No problem. Boot into recovery by pressing volume and power button. Install your ROM.zip from recovery menu

Can you access adb? If so just type "adb reboot recovery" or something like that

adb recognize the nexus (listed after "adb devices"), but as 'offline'...
Is there a chance to get the device 'online' by adb?
Have you tried to connect it and then tried to reboot. If theres any usable connection the PC should do something during boot..

i know that for sure, but i was serving an old man using this phone and i did my mistake, if there's an option to go to download mode, im stuck man this is killing me!
I was going to try and root and load a custom rom on my new S6 G920F but when I hot vol down+home+power it boots and comes up to the warning screen but none of the buttons work to continue to download or cancel. Any thoughts?
You press down don't you?

Found that down button is sticking on the volume bar. Took the phone apart and volume button bar out and I'm able to boot. This does however make flashing impossible until my new volume bar comes. Does anyone know how to flash TWRP without ODIN?
Was taking phone part easy? I've got a faulty charge port
