[Q] can't reboot into recovery mode

hey guys
my first post on xda actually yesterday i updated my xgamerz v2.2 rom to xgamerz v3 using clockworkmod recovery v6.0.28 everything else worked fine except it vant reboot into recovery ... i CAN reboot in download mode but not recovery.
when i reboot into recovery the samsung galaxy sl page slowly fades away and again reboots the phone into normal mode without going to recovery ( i.e. directly loading to os )
plz help asap

for now do a clean flash from ddlf2 then upgrade v3.. your problem will get solved.. and always wipe dalvik cache and format the system when upgrading the same custom rom. if you are going to any other custom rom just do full clean flash form ddlf2.. so that the rom won't cause any problem in your day to day life..
hope this helps you.

you mean go back to gingerbread 2.3.6 then flash cm10 and then xgamerz with all user data gone
instead of doing all this , i was wondering if i could flash a recovery using nandroid manager app( it has an option to flash recovery) but iam not getting a proper download link for my firmware. . . plz guide

try this : https://googledrive.com/host/0B4xN9...3.0/kernel-cm-10-20130906-galaxysl-signed.zip . and if this didn't work then you'll need to do a clean flash. just do titanium backup of all apps and also backup all you contacts and messages. restore them when you flash v3. you'll get all your userdata and apps as it is. and no need to flash cm10 after ddlf2, just directly flash v3 after flashing ddlf2 ( v3 is based on cm10, so no need to flash that)

if this didn't work then you'll need to do a clean flash. just do titanium backup of all apps and also backup all you contacts and messages. restore them when you flash v3. you'll get all your userdata and apps as it is. and no need to flash cm10 after ddlf2, just directly flash v3 after flashing ddlf2 ( v3 is based on cm10, so no need to flash that) [/QUOTE]

nandroid manager app is able to restore it... will u plz tell me how to use it.

try this application : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify if this didn't work then you'll not have any other way except clean flash. till my knowledge I think it's not possible to flash any recovery on jb ROM's due to different partitioning. i'll still suggest you to do a full app backup with titanium backup and restore it when you flash v3. happy flashing

Go to recovery(cwm, twrp, ctr etc),
Wipe dalvic cache,
Choose Install zip from sdcard and select your kernel zip file to flash it,
Now reboot your phone

Please, i don't have this phone so i can't tell too much about, but for flash you can do it ONLY thru custom recovery (CWM or TWRP).
Like i said you before, ASK in that ROM thread i gave you in my first post.
Good luck

I will suggest three things. The first is that you reflash again.Take note if there is an instruction for you to wipe CACHE and DALVIK CACHE in the ROM. Doing this anyway often helps. Some Devs sometimes omit to mention this in the OP, but it will be in the ROM itself. Sometimes, doing a factory reset or data wipe will remove the bootloop. And secondly try another ROM. Aromatic BUMBLEBEE and Blackpearl are the two best 4.1.1 ROMs after MICROFIRE 3.2.

hi abhinav,
ya.. my device is rooted...i was flashing rom for the first time, i tried to flash it by cwm recovery..
steps which i followed were..
went to cwm recovery
Wipe Data/Factory Reset. wipe partion cache
Goto Mounts & Storage -> Format /system
Goto Advanced -> Clead Dalvik Cache
Install xr650 zip from SD card
thats it...
then rebooted..and got stuck in boot logo..
so i restored back to my original rom via backup..

Hi ruchir500,
Here are some steps you must follow while installing any new custom ROM:
Your device is already rooted so you can continue with the following steps:
1) Goto CWM --> install zip from SD card --> select the ROM zip file --> it will start installing the ROM
2) Then --> Wipe data/factory reset --> Wipe cache partition --> then goto --> advanced--> Wipe dalvik cache --> Wipe battery stats
3) Go back--> reboot system now.
Hope this helps. And if doesn't help try:
1) Download Xtreme Rejoice Kernel zip file from here: http://d-h.st/87R, transfer to SD card
2) Install this ROM with the same steps as mentioned above for the ROM installation
If these steps doesn't help, try both the steps without rebooting the system or CWM > after completing both the steps reboot system.
Let me know if this helps.

btw= by the way
I already tried this ROM and i'm sure that it fully supports Arabic, It was very smooth and handy, I used it for short minutes then I went back to MIUI because I didn't like the full grey design.
To install it, first at all, copy the zip file on your SD card, Boot into recovery mod, backup you current ROM to SD card in case something wrong happened. After that, wipe data and cache then flash Clean Kat, finally wipe dalvik cache and tap reboot system.
In case you got bootloop or you didn't like Clean Kat, just go back to twrp and restore your backup.

Clean Kat was very smooth, no bugs so far, didn't use it for much time, but I think everything is working fine, besides a liitle bug when scrolling through Download files, and there is no option to disable soft keys.

You can disable it by editing build.prop
