Hi Guys,
How to recovery mode on my turned off galaxy s3 without broken home button. Have you any advice?
Thanks,
Without or with? If its working then power+home+volume up. If not working there should be a work around with adb you would have to look for.

Thanks for your help. I read and do these steps but i can not install my device driver because it is switched off . So MTP USB device can not install. And i dont use "adb reboot recovery" command.

Does your power button work? why can't you boot the phone into system where you can use apps? Did you format the system partition when you were in recovery? Did you wipe the internal sdcard? If you have $3-4 USD you can buy a USB jig on eBay, it is a device that forces the device into download mode without the buttons. Then flash the stock firmware.

Only home button doesnt work on my phone. Initially the device had Archidroid. I deleted wipe and cache files in recovery mode for flash the stock rom then i mistakenly switched off phone. So i cant boot the phone into system and three button. In this case it will work?
Thanks.

Get a USB jig or make one, look up the YouTube videos for how to do it, the jig will force your device to download mode so you can fix it, they are very cheap, easy to get and easy to use, all you do is plug it into the USB port on the device and it boots straight to download after 2-3 seconds. Don't worry with trying other stuff and possibly making your device worse,,use the jig, its guaranteed to get you going.

Your adb setup isn't working. Have you booted your phone holding VOL+ and power? Are your ADB drivers installed?
It's either the first or the last one, check your stuff. I doubt it's bricked.
look thats what the phone do exactly when i restart it normal it keeps on the boot screen it just keep going on but when i boot with vol + i get into that menu not sure what its called where it say
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
RECOVERY
POWER OFF
not sure which driver i had but can u give me one to install just in case? thanks
PS. i just reinstalled the drivers from Android SDK still having the same problem

I've never had good luck with the Android SDK driver, I use the PDANet driver instead.
http://junefabrics.com/android/index.php
That always got my phone to be detected after.
Edit: That's the fastboot screen. You should have used this when you rooted your phone, if you did it "manually".
You will use fastboot flash recovery recoveryimage.img
to flash a recovery. Recoveryimage.img will be the name of the recovery you're trying to flash.
i did and thats what i get when im trying flash the recovery
wow i restarted the phone and tried and it worked

Hi,
I tried to restore my Nexus S (european, GT-I9023) which has a broken power button before sending it to Samsung for repair.
I just screwed my ROM flash using Clockworkmod and now my phone only shows a beautiful Google screen.
When I try to use fastboot screen (using vol+/vol-) nothing moves, and even if it moved I wouldn't be able select any option as my power button is broken. I can't also access Odin (vol+ and vol- pressed when the phone is off) as I can't turn off my phone.
What can I do to flash my rom? May I send it to Samsung anyway?
Thanks for your answers!

Switch off. Press Volume Up and plug in the charging cable. Now, see if you tackle with the Fastboot mode.

He might not be able to. When the power button breaks, it stays in a "on" state and that messed up fastboot as it doesn't let you scroll or initialize properly.

If your rom starts booting (you see a quick flash after initial Google logo) you might be able to ADB from there (while it's not booting and the rom logo is showing, I know weird but often works). Check it out.
Edit: Oh and if you get adb access, then what you want to do is "reboot recovery" to reboot to recovery, and then wipe/flash a rom and whatnot.

You are absolutely right. The phone thinks that the power button is pressed and doesn't let us move up and down using the volume keys.
Also, even if I get adb access after the Google logo, how do I use fastboot mode? I actually wanted to flash a recovery as my Power button doesn't work even in the recovery. Moreover, I can boot into recovery without adb, from inside the rom power menu.
So adb doesn't help here

What recovery do you currently have? All custom recoveries enable you to scroll with menu and home key, go back with the back key and select with the search key. So if you can get adb while it's "not booting" and reboot to your custom recovery, then you can navigate, mount usb and transfer a rom if needed or flash one that is on your phone.
Edit: Also, I was under the impression you couldn't boot your ROM. If you can, what is it exactly that you are trying to do??

From the same thread you can simply download any of these (highly suggest ClockworkMod (CWM) 5.8.0.2 Touch, one if not the most reliable) and flash them from within your current CWM.

Ok let's get this right
What is your goal? Flash a different recovery? Then you can flash a recovery from within something such as ROM Manager if your rom still boots.
Yes sir, my goal is to flash a touch based recovery just so that I can flash new ROMs and kernels without the help of the power button.
Koushik charges for in-app flashing of CWM Touch which is otherwise free. So that's the main issue here. I guess I'll have to live with it

Ok.
You can use this Flash Image GUI to flash a recovery of your choice from within Android then:

It's free. Make sure to download the right recovery for your device and select recovery image in Flash Image GUI.

You sir, are my hero... Many thanks for this :highfive: :victory:
If you are flashing a touch version of CWM recovery, I highly suggest v6.0.1.0. The later version (up to 6.0.2.5) have a bug that will make you unable to mount the SD card within the recovery. Otherwise TWRP is very interesting, but backups made with CWM are not compatible with TWRP.
Thanks, I'll try TWRP this time
SL101 with CWM 1 click root v.1 which i understand is basically the same as the TF101
Tried rooting and seemed to be a success but bricked when trying to install cy mod.
Tried factory reset in recovery mode and still bricked.
Won't mount to SD card.
Can't seem to find any guides to reset firmware back to stock...
Any ideas? links to a guide i haven't found? (I have looked) or am I bushwacked?
Thanks.
TWRP recovery is advised instead of CWM, flash TWRP recovery and then try your ROM again
Did you use ROM Manager to install CWM?
That does not play nice with the Asus tablets.
You can try using PERI to push a new recovery via ADB when in recovery.
I would use ADB to push the TWRP 2.3.2.3 blob myself.

I am not able to open any files through the tablet to access this app. The only screen i can get to is the CWM recovery when you hold power + vol. down.

If you have TWRP installed as your recovery now, just boot into that, press WIPE, then wipe SYSTEM, CACHE and DALVIK CACHE, then press the Home button in TWRP to go back to the main screen and press INSTALL, choose your ROM, flash that, then clear CACHE and DALVIK again, then flash GAPPS and wipe both CACHES again, then reboot
You can also flash a kernel of your choice, KatKernel is the popular one to go with TeamEOS4 ROM

From a quick look at the PERI files I would assume this method:
Boot the tablet into CWM and connect it to the PC > USB
Download and extract the PERI files, right click and run EasyRecoveryV0.4.bat as Admin
Once its done you should have TWRP installed, instructions say it should reboot itself, but doing it from recovery I'm not sure, just make sure it says its done PC side then manually reboot if necessary
If all goes well, flash a new ROM from TWRP

I really appreciate the help man!
PERI isn't working through recovery mode I guess. The tablet will show up as a device ONLY in device manager and I cannot access any of the storage and it isn't recognizing my SD card that I literally bought new a couple days ago. Please let me reiterate. I only have access to the "stuck" screen of EEE slider and can only get as far as the CWM recovery and using the volume and power buttons to navigate. i CANNOT get past this god forsaken screen.
Those of you guys who have the patience to help people in need FOR FREE are amazing and truly deserve a kings ransom! thanks again for the help so far! I hope we can get through this!

I rebooted my OnePlus One yesterday and found myself in a weird situation. The phone would go to the initial OnePlus logo then after, a smal android logo with a red warning sign appears for a split second, and I boot into the CM stock recovery. I can't turn it on or enter fastboot, nor can I turn on ADB Debugging on my phone and would really appreciate help as I do not want this phone to be gone. Pretty scared guys, help would be much appreciated!
I've never seen this problem before.
I supose you are bootloader unlocked, rooted and have costum recovery, right?
For fastboot, if it does not work normally, try: up button + power with the phone connected to the PC; if it does not work, try the same button combo + plug the phone to the pc while you are holding down the buttons.

I believe you messed it up for good, since you: can't get into fastboot; have no recovery; have no backups... If you could get fastboot to go you would only need to flash twrp and then sideload a rom =/
Does the stock recovery let you sideload?

Yes. It does.
Download the stock image. I'm sure it will be there somewhere in the forums.
Then go to recovery and do the following:
Select 'apply update'. Then you either have the option to apply update from Internal Storage or from adb.
Select adb and enter: adb sideload update_filename.zip

assuming it's the stock android recovery, i'm pretty sure it allows for sideloading.

How to copy data from android phone to computer when phone stuck at logo screen?
Basically it stop going further, it stays at where you see the logo.
I can go to recovery mode, and clear cache etc.
Just want to copy some data from the internal memory before factory reset.
Anyone has experience on this?

Why you can't go into recovery mode ? Do you use correct button combination ?
RossTeagan said:
Try to enable USB debugging and install ADB on your PC then you should be able to access your phone with these steps:
- Connect the phone to a PC, using a USB cable
- Boot your phone into ClockworkMod Recovery, by pressing and holding the Power Button + Home Button + Volume Up or Down
- After loading ClockworkMod Recovery, check if the ADB connection is running, by opening a command prompt on your PC and typing adb devices
Now your phone should be connected and you can access your data.
