so it just boots up normally like it would when you only pressed the power button?
Vol down, Vol Up, Power, Camera.

For Download : VOL DOWN + OK (HOME) + POWER

you got your words jumbled up there
when you have your phone off, hold the vol up + home buttons, then press and hold the power button along with the other two. when the phone vibrates and the first screen display shows, let go of the power button and keep holding the vol up + home buttons. what happens?

Hold both the Volume up and Volume down, the Home (middle button) and then the power button.

you cannot hold both up and down at the same time. they have different functions as seen in the post by arindam.

yes, assuming you follow my instructions, the first "default popup screen" will show as normally happens, stating that the phone is an sgs i9003, etc. that is what happens at the same time the phone vibrates to let you know it successfully started booting and to let go of the power button. so let it go and keep holding the vol up + home (ok) buttons! then what happens?
I think he is confused !!
I think he facing the same problem with me !!
I think he means when press volume up +home key+power
then the recovery mode is an original from android which is show on my device as Adroid recovery : so that there is no Choose ZIP from sdcard and other commands which is importand to flash new rom version.
In fact i need it show me the Clockworkmode recovery :
so I have to root my device first then you will get clockworkmode automaticly, right ?
thanks

No. there is nothing automatic with root. If you want the CWM Recovery, then you have to flash the CWM or the cf-root (universal or for your FW).
i rooted and bootload unlocked on 2.20 flashed boot.img via fastboot and then flashed cm10. everything work fine. then i decided to flash codename. first thing i did was flash codename boot.img before i did anything and thats where i messed up. cant get into fastboot with power and volume up+down it just goes to htc screen with red warning sign. and when i try to boot up phone it gets to home screen and keeps forclosing not allowing me to do anything....
it sounds like you lost recovery, keep trying to get into bootloader then flash twrp again.

wont let me get into bootloader. the power and volumes just keeps booting the phone up and stuck on infinite forclosing
happend to me a few minutes ago it was nasty try to shut down the phone and then
before it loops quickly power+volume down and after the one xl buttons stop flashing hold the
volume down and keep holding it until bootloader shows up
press and hold power button until capacitive buttons flash 6 times. then hold volume down. phone will boot into bootloader. carry on from there.
The problem is you weren't holding the right keys to get into bootloader.... and everything is fc'ing because your running codenames kernel on cm10.

thanks. but wow im an idiot. im so use to samsung phones i was holding volume up and down
This always does the trick for me Turn on, hold power 10-15 seconds, until screen goes black, let off, press n hold volume down, press power just 2-3 seconds, let off power button but continue holding vol. Down

so i would have to wipe, flash rom then flash boot.img
as its booting if u turned on usb debugging computer should detect it while its booting. just run "adb reboot recovery"
Hi all, yesterday my explorer started lagging and i decided to remove the battery (after not responding for 1min), but when i tried to boot it up again, nothing happened at all not even the screen was lighted.I tried to enter bootloader again nothing.I reinserted the battery and try to enter bootlader a couple of times and finally i got it.I hit reboot but the same again nothing happened.
I had installed jaggyrom 3.2.1 for 4 months and everything was working perfect.
What can i do to get it running up again?
Thanx!

Yes, i booted into the bootloader and hit reboot, but since then i cant enter again the bootloader which is why i started this thread..
I press these buttons the right way ..i'e tryied all the combinations with battery re-insert each time but nothing...
Leave battery out for some time (10 min.), then while holding vol- pres power key, DO NOT release vol- it should get in the bootloader, then simply just flash some rom from recovery. The important thing is to leave it 10 minutes first.
Or try something else, while the phone is off, insert the usb in it, with me it's turning on, it's cwm recovery bug, but a good one .
not able to acces recovery mode
i am using htc explorer with jaggy rom 3.after few months when i tried to go in recovery mode my phone reboots.i tried re flashing CWM recovery.it says successful but still i am not able to access??????????
Hey,
Are you able to go to bootloader? If yes don't worry you will have to reflash the recovery. Download twrp or yannous recovery. And flash it,

I'm not sure at what condition is your phone right now. But the most common process I'm telling you is,
Take out your battery. Reinsert.
Hold down power button and volume down button all together until you get your screen emits light. This will take you to the fastboot menu. There select Recovery mode(no matter which recovery you're using). Like if you're usin ClockworkMod Recovery. In the menu, select wipe data/factory reset. Then go to mounts and format option. Mount /cache, /data, /system, /sd-ext(in case you're having a second partition). Remember NOT to mount sd-card. Right from the same menu, format boot, cache, system, data, sd-ext. This time again remember NOT to format sd-card otherwise you'll loose all your data. Now go back to main menu and select advanced option. There select wipe dalvik-cache to not to face low memory problems. Now go back. Select install zip from sd-card. choose zip from sd-card(choose the zip folder of a custom ROM). Install the package. Wait. After completion, reboot or you may have wipe data/factory reset before rebooting. These are the most common steps that works in almost every custom ROM. You can also follow the particular steps (if given) from anywhere you downloaded it. Wait for 2-5 or more minutes at the first boot as it take more time. The process may appears complicated but you'll find it easy when you'll do it.
Hope this thing will sort out your problem. Please hit 'Thanks' if I helped you or atleast do it for humanity that I typed that much for you.

I think he is having key combination problem.
@ S.alwaz
He should press volume down key first and then keeping the vol down key pressed, press the power as well. Now keep pressed both until bootloader appears. Enter recovery and follow the post above for flashing New ROM.
Pressing power first and then volume down key doesn't work. I checked here.
Hit "THANKS". It encourages me.
Does anyone know if the battery is charging even if the screen doesnt show anything (the charging animation) ? I m saying cause it might not boot at all due to a discharged battery...(although the battery was 50% charged when it broke down)
I've tried booting it connected to a usb but still nothing.

My pico takes my to recovery when if the phone is switched off and I connect it to USB or charger only when I have bootloops or my /system, /boot is formatted. You may try it.

Hey , this was a problem for me when my pico went to recovery on connecting charger when phone was switched off..
then i flashed the yannou90's recovery and now it charges with the animation while its off...
not going into recovery when charger is connected...
And @cpgr
try this if it works...
1.)connect your phone to ac charger and leave for 30 minutes
2.)remove the charger and press the key combination as- press the volume down key and keep it pressed...now press the power key and keep both the keys pressed till the screen turns on... then leave the power key first and then the volume down key...
3.)now go to the recovery... [ is it working for you...??]....{ALSO, i recommend yannou90's cwm based recovery, you should try that as well if you already don't have it... }
4.)then wipe data/factory reset , wipe cache and install any Custom rom you like...
....
...
.
After this all.... give a detailed reply on whats not working for you...in the above steps...
i think these should work out great....
best of luck

Hello,
I installed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550138
Evrything works fine (Exept Googleplaystore) but the only downside to this i cant access the recovery mode (for GApps) at all.
All combination (holding Vol+/Power , VOL+/Home, Vol-/Power) with all starting combination dont let me access RECOVERY MODE but only start the cyanogenmod.
The only thing i deleted after installing is the Rom Zip file. zImage still there etc.
I want to install GAPPS but i cant find a solution on any site.
Is it not Vol UP + Home + Power? not just the 2 buttons as you put..
Press and hold Vol Up, Home, Power (in that order) .. keep holding until Samsung Wave logo comes up.. then you can let go of Power.

No, it isn't....the instruction on the side tell.. VOL+ and Power but that doesn't work at all.
Dound a "workaround" .
IN Deveelopermode u can set it to "restart to recovery" and that way u can access it. Easier.

Hmm.. i didn't know that about the Wave.
We'll that's why these forums are good.. we are always learning.
With that option, we're you able to get to the recovery to install GApps properly?
