As a curious newbie I went into downloading mode in my Samsung Galaxy S3 by pressing Vol down+center Home+power button. After that I got options to press Vol up key to continue and Vol down key to cancel. Out of sheer curiosity and thinking I can exit anytime I pressed Vol up key and the very infamous "downloading do not turn off" screen sits with the green Android logo.i turned it of and it never came back on

Power Off the phone first. Then :
For Recovery : VOL UP + OK (HOME) + POWER
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 ?

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've recently upgraded to ICS, and am now trying to root my newly upgraded SGS2 phone. I am stuck trying to enter the Recovery Mode. I've searched online for guides on how to root, and many individuals instruct to hold the Volume Up + Volume Down + Power button, then when the SAMSUNG logo appears, let go of the Power Button. The recovery mode menu does not appear. Can anyone help?
Have you entered download mode and flashed the custom recovery through Odin? All this info can easily be found in the all in one guide that is stickied at the top.
More info is needed. How did you upgrade? Was it a one click method?
Edit for link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427268
Here is your link for the instructional thread. Please read this carefully. Everything you need will be on the first page. Any reason why you wish to root? Only reason I ask is because you are a new user.

Regardless of which recovery you have it has to come up.
Turn the phone off, now hold all three vol up/down and power once phone vibrates let go off power, don't wait for the logo
When I hold down Volume up+Power+Home the Samsung screen appears with the "Recovery Booting..." in the top corner, but as I keep holding them down the screen just remains black and when I let go of the buttons it won't let me into the recovery mode. It'll show the Galaxy S3 boot up logo and then boot up again normally. Can anyone help?

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
So I tried to get stock Android back to my phone (I had cyanogenmod) and when following the instructions of a guide I found, they said there was a possibility of getting into a boot loop, which indeed happened. To solve this I had to go into Recovery Mode and the logo of DEAD ANDROID would appear, and so it did. The problem comes when I push the power button and both volume buttons to get into the menu of recovery mode. It doesn't come up, the phone just shuts down.
I don't know how to solve this or if it even has a solution... could someone please help me
Ps: yes, I'm a complete noob :good:
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. To get into recovery when you see the dead Android press and hold the power button and then press and release the vol down button. It can be a little tricky, especially the timing of the press and release of the vol down button.

Hello, I think I have bricked my phone.
It is a Samsung Galaxy A3 SM-A300M
I used the TWRP Manager app and I think I loaded the wrong recovery image for my phone.
The app said it installed the recovery succesfully then asked to reboot into recovery. I accepted and the phone rebooted but never entered recovery, it just vibrates every 2 seconds.
Now it wont show anything on the screen, just vibrates every 2 seconds
I've tried the following with no success:
1) holding volume up + power + home
2) holding volume down + power + home
3) holding volume up + power
4) holding volume down + power
5) holding power button for more than 2 minutes
In every case it just keeps vibrating
Please consider that the Samsung Galaxy A3 is a unibody model, so I can't take out the battery.
What would you say are my options?
Thanks in advance!!
P.S.: I would post this on the Samsung A series sub forum, but since I'm a new user can only post here.
