[Q] Vol Down button doesnt work

Vol Down button doesnt work so is there any way to use vol up button as the DOWNLOADING mode to flash ROMS.
because if i press power and vol up..uploading mode comes instead if downloading mode comes it will be helpful for me to flash new ROMS.
I am sure Dharam,Hillbest and all will have a solution to this
PS: Samsung is asking me to replace the entire motherboard so i cannot give it to the service center costs $120
use this command
adb reboot download
Or in terminal emulator
su
reboot download
Or
Shut down phone
Connect cable and launch odin (with the phone still turned off)
Press power button
Odin will detect phone, quickly press on start, it'll go to download mode
Or
Boot into upload mode(vol up)
Launch Odin
Connect phone and press start

Use ADB and do adb reboot download. You can't change the buttons assignments as it is part of the bootloader and nobody is crazy enough to mess with it and risk a hard brick.
You could flash new ROMs using update.zips and system.imgs. If you root your phone you can install CWM and install a new ROM from in there.
You can use adb reboot download, or flash G3MOD kernel and boot into recovery and in extended power menu press download!

power button doesn't work either? I thought that functioned as the 'enter' button... Imnuts' post will work for sure, but I have to ask why are you in the stock android recovery? unless you meant CWM?
Thanks imnuts, what is the easiest way to adb reboot?
My screen is showing similar to the attached photo but the trackball statement it instead says: [Enter: Home Key, Select : Vol UP / Vol Down
Its asking me to use the home key for my enter but my home key is not functioning. But if you know of an alternative I am happy to hear what your thoughts are.

ADB (Android Debug Bridge, I think) is tethering your phone to your pc and pushing/pulling files or forcing commands to your phone using the command terminal... it doesn't work right away as you need the latest android sdk files, java/jdk files, and altered C:/ path directory (assuming you're running windows, I think thats how it works if anyone can help me out here )
does the power button work as a 'select' button though? also can't you just battery pull and restart the phone or does it restart right into that recovery? just an FYI that is the stock android recovery which you can't (or rather shouldn't) be doing anything in, CWM is recommended... I vaguely recall there being another button that would work like the search button but I'm not sure
Thanks for the advise anoninja118, I appreciate the help.
So last night I tried ADB but was not successful at it, maybe ill look into that more. Unfortunately my phone does not allow the power button to work as the 'select' button. Yeah and pulling the battery leads me back to the same recovery screen. What is CWM?

CWM is Clockwork Mod, its the custom version of that recovery that will allow you to flash files and change options: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112804
you can flash superuser (what gives you root access) easily in there and just reboot and presto you're rooted... I haven't seen any tutorials on how to use CWM since its fairly easy, to boot into it just hold power+volume up+home until 'Samsung' appears then let go of power and hold the other two until it comes up, then use volume keys and power button to navigate and select
Odin is required to install CWM first though and this thread gives a little info on that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160580

Can't get into recovery mode on H955 V15c!

I can't get into recovery mode on my new LG G Flex 2. I've tried holding Volume Down + Power till the Logo appears, then releasing and holding again which just resets or shuts off the phone after a few more seconds, I've tried holding Volume Down + Power till Logo, then holding both Volume keys which does nothing. What does work is getting to the Hard Reset screen by holding Volume Down + Power till Logo, then releasing only Power button and holding it down again.
I've read that some things don't work on 5.1.1, but that shouldn't affect the recovery, right? As the phone isn't rooted, I can't use apps like Quick Boot either.
Help me!
I understand your frustration man, developing for this phone is a pain (to put it lightly). That being said do you have adb and fastboot installed (android SDK) on your computer? if so you should be able to open a command prompt and type
"adb reboot recovery" without the quote... and hit enter, and it should reboot into recovery. I cant guarantee you wont see an android laying down with a (!) in a triangle.... If that happens unplug your phone and keep pushing and holding different button combos to get it to reboot regularly again

I'll try that, thank you. But is there an explanation for why the normal way - using the hardware buttons - doesn't work? What could be wrong?
I did buy it "Used-Like New".

In may case works in the same way. With the button "combo" doesn't work. If you have root can get an app from store to do wipe, like system tuner.

Recovery mode - Device buttons are not working

I have a micromax doodle 4 (Q391) with broken power and volume down buttons and its stuck in boot logo. So whenever I connect my phone to charger it will turn on and just keep showing the logo. However, I'm managed to enter recovery mode to reset device or wipe data BUT as I mentioned the power button is not working to select nor the volume button is working around to highlight options. Since its stuck in bootloop, I can't even enable usb debugging.
Btw, the battery can't be removed in this model. All I have is a reset button, volume up button and If i give some hard push on volume down its working sometimes. Some help would be very useful. Thank you.
After the vibration that you notice at the time you start your mobile you need to hold down the volume down button first (don't press both of them simultaneously) and then press and hold down the power button to boot into recovery menu.

I have a broken power button but I'm able to boot into recovery in a different way. My question is "How to select options in recovery mode with power button not working?".
Visit a nearby micromax service center and get it repaired I don't own a micromax but I hope that the price for repairs are nominal.
How ??

How to get a phone into recovery mode without unlocking it, with pc

Hello Guys/Ladies
I own a oppo neo 7 (a33f) . I messed up my phone by replacing some files at root/system/bin . After replacing the files suddenly the screen of the phone started flashing (it turns on then goes black repeatedly) and also I am not able to press anything on screen.
And now where the real problem begins ,
this phone is so old that it doesn't have volume up volume down or power button (all physically broken)
and the battery got dead :crying: I tried using different things to press the buttons so I can make it into recovey mode (I can still press the volume buttons using pin but no chance with power key ) but still no chance.
Is there any way to make it boot into recovery mode without using the power button and yes I have a working pc with adb and platform tools but the phone is locked so adb prints "unauthorized device" I cant even turn on the device. I tried plugging it in charger and it works, the charging animation shows.
I have the stock rom that I can flash, I am not able get into recovery without power key.
Please help!
Thanks, in advance.
