[RESOLVED] Can't go in Custom Recovery Mode - General Questions and Answers

Hi, I'm sorry for the bad language because I'm not english and I'm sorry if I wrong section. I've tried to install a custom recovery on my Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo (GT-I9060). I've tried to install it by odin or by some apps, but I can't use the custom recovery mode! When I press the combination of Volum Up + Power + Home it goes in default recovery mode, so I can't install a file zip of a CyanogenMode. I've tried to go in custom recovery mode by some apps (ROM manager, TWRP manager..) but the app crashes. Any help, please?

Once you installed the recovery you have to enter it right away before booting for the first time or the stock recovery will overwrite it which is why your getting the stock recovery .

Now I have installed the CyanogenMod 11 (took from this website) but it says that there is not a sim. Any solutions?

First of all see if a normal reboot fixes this.
If not.
In phone settings ->about phone
See if you have
1)baseband
2)imei
(Don't list them here just check if you have them)
Most probably this could be a problem with the ROM and can be fixed by flashing baseband.zip that you'll get from the same site you got the ROM.

I went in phone settings -> about phone and I see that I have Baseband, but I don't find Imei.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-cm-11-0-galaxy-grand-neo-i9060-t2893802
This is the link where I got the ROM, but I don't find Baseband.zip

Well try another ROM ,its the one way to fix this.
Another would be to flash your imei ,you can find it in your phones case ,the tool would be sn write tool if your phone has mediatek (don't know/not familiar with other chipset family)
Plus the ROM you gave the link for is buggy and not in development.so you should try another ROM or if there isn't one use stock.
Incoming calls wont work either defenatly not a ROM to use as a daily driver

Yes I saw that earlier but the dev said its already in the ROM and just posted that for developers. But give it a go ,this still won't fix your incoming call bug though.

No what I meant by the stock ROM was the official ROM released for your phone(as in the condition your phone was at the time you bought it)
As for ril ,it has relation to sim but I'm not sure whether
Your problem will be fixed.

If you want to use cm11 contact the ROM developer
Or use the official firmware.

The official firmware will overwrite it so you don't need to
But if you really wanna uninstall boot into twrp, choose wipe then wipe data,cache,system, and dalvik.

There is no ddkb2 stock rom as yet for indian users. You can try xxkb3 which is reported to be better.

I can provide you with flashable backup(ROM) of DDKB2 but you will have to try it AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I did a full factory reset and everything is fine now...though what are the risks involved in flashing the rom you have?....i mean why is there a danger in flashing it?
I dumped it from my phone and have not got a chance to test it. Although it should be 100% fine ROM
Will upload once I test it on my own phone. Right now busy with some other important things

Flashing danger is
One a refusal to read the FAQS or how to for the rom .
Two use of wrong tools or wrong rom .
Three a fault on PC during a flash .
But most flashes that go bad on SGS can be recovered .

hi,
we are stuck trying to flash DDKB2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15457294&postcount=626
can u share your own phone's backup ROM? many thanks
the factory reset buttons (vol up+ home + power) is not showing anything on my sgsl, wat actually happens during this reset? is there any rule to press a button first?
Is your phone booting up? Is it completely stock? Did you not see the Q&A thread which has been stickied?
The vol up + menu + power button combo is to access the recovery menu.
If you can't access that, I'd personally recommend that u flash CF-ROOT, as that would give you better recovery options. For instructions on that go to the relevant thread by Skin1980 in this (i.e. Developer) section.
BTW, the "KMC" in your user id: are you from KMC Manipal?

[Q]is my phone soft bricked or hard bricked?

i tried to install a custom rom but my phone doesnot boot neither it starts in download mode. please suggest what should i do
You could try to flash the stock rom for your phone again. Search Google if there is a stock rom ftf file and flash it with Flashtool
Another possibility is check if you have installed the correct kernel for your custom rom and install both again.

Could you give details about your installation process? A jig could fix your problem or in other words it could boot your phone in download mode.
If your recovery is available flash a custom ROM with it.

i installed the rom under normal conditions. for your info i have done this plenty of times but this time i m clueless. i have ordered for a jig but is there any other way to get my phone back?? please suggest.
Have you tried to flash it with 'Flashtool'?
Have you installed the correct Kernel for your custom rom?
Another solution might be to look in the internet for 'wotan server' - here you could try to restore your phone but it will cost a little.
u could also try odin to flash your original formware
Other than the jig is there any way to start the mobile in download mode??
You could try going into flash mode then flash a new kernal or by going into fastboot mode to flash a new custom ROM in Flashtool.
But I think this only works with Xperia Phones.

sorry, didn't have that in mind but you didn't tell us yet what phone you have and if you have used 'Flashtool' or 'Odin Flash tool' which is for Samsung phones, so it is very difficult for us to help you

You should not use restore boot method in CM ROMs. You may also brick device if you do it, better use some GB ROM if you are getting white screen issue.

Because the GB ROM you had earlier is from a country that has something changed,(i don't know what) it causes problems when you flash any CM
The solution is flashing an English rom there will be no such change and it will work
Do you understand now?
P.S. Such a ROM with this problem are used to be from india firmwares
Do you have an indian firmware?

One suggestion don't provide such kind of pics because it has your IMEI number,
So for privacy issue you have to protect that number.

For indian firmware issue then I'm not agree that, its issue by indian firmware.
I always flash custom roms on indian firmware & till now i didn't face any issue like white screen or brick device.
-Lets do this step by step.
Do you have indian firmware ?
(Latest firmware DDMF2 or try any old one)
Flash back it through odin
-Then download CWM v5.5
(You get link from my rom Pure Galaxy v1.0 thread in development section, check last page)
Check the version again
CWM v5.5 not v6 or v5.0
-root your device through CWM
-& now finally go n try to flash cm rom, I hope this time you will never face any white screen issue.

how to reflash TWRP CN? Download mode, select only recovery??
Hi ,
Can you boot it up normally? If yes, then reflash recovery.img using any flasher apps download from play store ( e.g : flashify )
& If not,
if it MTK chip device, the best way to flash new img file is by using SP flash tools.
Also, for MTK device, you're able to create CWM recovery from your original boot.img automatically, using MTKDroidTools. Or PhilZ ( The best ever! )
Good luck!:good:

Then use TWRP and flash a stock rom. You'll find them, using the link in my signature to my index thread.
Make a full wipe before and don't forget to flash boot.img (because you need to do as you are S-on).
