[Q] Samsung galaxy Gio S5660 Will Not Enter Recovery

Hi all,
I am trying to put cyanogenmod 9 on my Samsung Galaxy Gio. Following these instructions found here
Download: px-CWM-v2.zip
Place it on root of your sdcard
reboot to recovery mode
install this cwm from recovery
results in me not being able to boot into recovery (after following the above instructions). The phone said that the installation was successful.
When I try to boot into recovery all I get is a black screen with the Samsung logo on it. If I try to turn it off it just goes into a boot loop. So I am unable to continue with the next part of the installation process.
If I remove the battery and put it back in then power on normally, the phone boots and runs normally.
Current OS: Froyo 2.2.1 XXKB9 (Baseband XKB8).
Model: GT-S5660
Rooted: Yes (used SuperOneClick).
Can anyone tell me what has happened and how I can fix it?
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards
Bidski

Just an update.
I can still get into download mode (hold vol -, home, and power button simultaneously until yellow "downloading..." appears on screen) and I can also get into emergengy downloand mode (hold vol -, vol +, home, and power button simultaneously until sansumg logo and "Emergency Dload" appear on the screen).
But I still cannot access recovery mode (hold home and power simultaneously).
Using Odin (version 4.42 I believe) and the download mode I can re-flash the original stock ROM and this allows recovery mode to work again as normal. However, attempting the steps that I mentioned in my first post lead to the same result.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Best Regards

Hello
If you can enter into download mode you can update your firmware to 2.3.6 and root again. This will help. sammobile.com <-- here u can find firmware to yours phone.

I can only firmware version 2.3.4 for my phone in my region. Will this still be helpful to me?

OK, I have gingerbread flashed on to my galaxy gio. All seems good and I managed to get recovery flashed and have done a backup. Recovery seems to work fine too. I used a different version of recovery that I found on this site that says it worked for rfs and ext4 partitions (trying to find this post again ).
My question now is do I need to flash an ext4 converter before I flash cm9?

Got recovery from this post.
I also downloaded the ext4 formatter from that post, but have not used it yet as I am not sure I need to or not.

Bro can I know how did you re-flash the original stock ROM using odin 4.42? As I'm facing the same issue here. installed cyanogenmod 9 and can't boot into recovery mode now.

Download original stock rom from http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-S5660&r=4#regiona
Boot into download mode (hold vol -, home, and power button simultaneously until yellow "downloading..." appears on screen).
Connect Odin, load the original stock ROM into Odin and flash.
Odin should reboot your phone once it has finished its business.
Good luck.

I used samsung kies to recovery it back turned out my phone can't be on now. Odin can't detect my phone too.

I suggest to flash an Original Firmware, ROOT it, Have CWM (Clockwork Mod) installed and proceed with your custom ROM installation

Go into recovery and do a factory reset. Clear cache and Dalvik cache. Restart. It should boot now, but take care because this means losing your data.

[Q] How do i get my stock recovery back?

Hey,
I wanted to install the Clockworkmod for my Samsung galaxy ace 3 LTE but while doing so i stupidly picked the CWM for the non LTE version of the Ace 3 because of that the installation failed which leaves me with no recovery mode at all i tried to boot into recovery mode but now i'm stuck in the pre-recovery screen i can go into download mode but pulling the battery out and putting it in again just puts me back into the pre-recovery screen. So my question is how do i flash my stock recovery back to its original state.

I think this might help http://www.technobezz.com/flash-stock-rom-via-odin-samsung-galaxy-s3/. If you have access to the download mode, look for the stock rom for your phone and try out the tutorial.

THANK YOU!!!! :laugh: :laugh:

for s duos 2 : press volume up+home+power = recovery
if you flashed any recovery before rooting so i think that maybe the recovery that you flashed is not valid. however you can tree to flash another recovery or flash stock recovery , also flashing stock rom with odin may resolve the problem. good luck.
i have galaxy trend plus s7580 (similar to sduos2 ) . i used sandpox recovery and it fully working.

It was a fake because I tried the download mode on a real samsung and it worked instantly. It's already in the trash. **** the chinese scammers. May they rot in hell.

Q. Have you got in cwm recovery loop i.e. when you reboot your phone it goes in recovery mode?
ANS. No probs. Just remove your battery and open download mode manually by pressing Power button+Home+volume down key. If you do like this only then download mode will support your odin otherwise it won’t support. After this just flash your cwm recovery again.
Q. Stuck on boot animation?
ANS. Just download adb (android debug bridge) minimum requirements. Sideload your rom . It may seem to you that you got stuck there but don’t panic, wait at least 5 minutes. After that remove your battery and press (Power+Home+volume up) upto it shows samsung screen and then release. Then just install your rom from recovery mode. ENJOY…………………….

I have galaxy core duos GT-I8262. Could you please guide me to flash custom recovery, Rooting and install a custom ROM.
