[Q] How to get to Recovery

So i bought this rooted int'l note off of craigslist and it had a darkynote rom on it. I tried the power+home+vol down but it just goes to download mode even if its not connected to the pc. I went into Rom Manager and hit reboot into recovery and it worked and i was able to flash the RoMow ICS rom and now it wont let me boot into recovery from there. I tried market apps to boot, but it says that my phone is not rooted. I gave Super user permissions and everything. Last thing i tried was rooting again using the method outlined in the development thread, but it got stuck and i figure that it is because i am running ICS and not gingerbread.
Can anyone give me some help on if i am trying to boot into recovery the right way or if you have a solution?
Thanks alot

Try power button, home and volume up.

Or use the Terminal application and type;
reboot recovery
Or, plug it into a PC with the SDK installed and type;
adb reboot recovery
Or, what Stoney said.

Thanks! The vol up+Home+Power worked.
Now im having another issue though:
I tried backing up and it got stuck when it was almost done,
same with flashing any roms and restoring from a backup... Any ideas, or should post a new thread?

Look, stop doing anything else with your RoMow ICS, because you didn't install it properly, and have a partial root as a consequence. This is a known issue: you have a semi-functional rom right now, and doing a backup of it is of no use to you.
Do the following:
1. download AbyssNote 3.9 kernel from HERE | MIRROR. It's a flashable zip.
2. put this zip on your SD Card (take out your SD card and paste the zip from your PC via a card reader if no other option is possible)
3. power off your phone
4. boot into recovery (Volume up + Home + Power)
5. chose 'install zip from SD Card'
6. navigate to your Abyss kernel zip and flash it
7. go back to the Recovery start menu
8. go to advanced/reboot recovery <--- this will reboot the phone directly to recovery
9. you will discover that you now have Hyperdroid Redpill Recovery - it comes with the Abyss kernel - it's pretty much the same thing as CWMR
10. wipe cache, dalvik, do your factory reset
11. flash any GB rom you fancy or do a GB restore if you have one

thanks so much fro your help. I had no idea that i had a partial root. I will try this when i get home. Will i have to do this with every rom i flash (flash rom then kernal) or is it just this rom?

Alright so i followed the steps and i got the red recovery and flashed the romow rom again. I went back to recovery to flash the mms fix and it went back to the blue clockworkmod recovery and once again it wont let me flash anything

didn't I? Emphasis was on GB rom, as in Gingerbread, not ICS.
Every time you want to flash your first ICS rom, you must start from a gingerbread one.
It's no good trying to flash ICS over a botched ICS, it will get you nowhere.

obviously, there are steps you are not following quite well. the instructions above were quite very specific.
if i were you, i'd reinstall abyss 3.9, and reinstall a stock, rootable rom and start from scratch. or stick with stock.

Boot Loop after flashing stock

I was recently using Stunner ICS but decided I wanted to go back to stock and start over. I downloaded the stock N7000XXKJ4_N7000OXXKJ4 firmware and installed it through odin. I did not receive any errors on the phone or on my PC. But now it seems like my phone is stuck in a boot loop. It just keeps showing the samsung boot animation over and over. I used the download jig to get into download mode and tried redoing the firmware twice already with no luck. One thing I did notice is that the jig is no longer resetting the binary counter. Does anyone have any other ideas or is my phone possibly bricked?

This is supposed to be in Q& A section... Anyways... Did you try wipe?

What worked for me having the same problem recently is go to Recovery mode (Volume up + home + power) and you'll see this funny kinda recovery, not at all CWM Do a data wipe/factory reset and then reboot.

Same thing happened with me yesterday, wipe in recovery fixed the problem

I'm sorry. Mods please move to appropirate section.
Thank you guys. I was beginning to freak out. I was trying to do the recovery menu but couldn't get it to work. I thought the recovery menu was also hosed but I had the wrong buttons. All is good now! thank you so much!

First thing you need to do if you want to get back GB, flash abyss 3.9 redpill kernel.
After that flash GB rom.
So later you can flash whatever kernel you want

Hanging at Samsung logo; can't boot into recovery; am I bricked???
Hi guys...
I've been semi bricked for about 18 hours now. And it's starting to look like it's a full-brick.
I had the latest Gingerbread ROCKET ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000, with the latest Franco kernel in place.
I thought I'd give the ICS version of ROCKET ROM a go. Flashed Abyss4.2 kernel without any hassles. Used 'advanced' to boot into recovery. Did my various wipes. Flashed the ICS Rocket Rom zip. And got caught up in the recurring boot-up, mostly upgrade, run, reboot cycle that's been described in many places.
Didn't panic.
Booted into recovery again, and flashed the ICS Rocket Rom again.
But this time, it wouldn't go past the SAMSUNG logo.
Still, I could boot into recovery.
Which I did.
And I tried to restore my Gingerbread build from Nandroid.
Tried it. But it hung on the Samsung logo again.
With one key difference... Now, no matter how much I try, I can't boot into recovery.
I *CAN* boot into 'download' mode. So I've used PC Odin to try and inject a rooted Gingerbread rom into the phone.
The instructions tell me to wait for the phone to reboot twice. Sadly, it tries its first reboot, and doesn't get past the Samsung logo. And that's where it hangs. No recovery mode either.
What shall I do??? Oh, woe is me. Etcetera.
--------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE
--------------------------------------------------------
I found a version of Abyss 4.2 kernel in tar format. I flashed it via PC ODIN, and I now seem to have a phone that can boot again.
Not much more to report at the moment, cos the battery is on about 3%, so I'm charging it now before delving further. Will give more feedback once the battery's up and running again.
Here's a link to the Abyss file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1072122&d=1337500067

I tried all of this, was on stock ICS 4.0.3 and had it rooted.
I tried to restore a backup which was sadly on GB and then the restore of /data failed
I then tried to flash paranoid custom rom and it was successful but the phone never went any further than SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE GT-N7000 logo
I then Flashed a direct rootable stock rom via PC odin and all was well but the phone would never go any further than the logo before mentioned
I tried flashing AbyssNote kernel via pc odin but the CWM recovery menu kept on rebooting hence leaving me with not particular choice to select
Tried wiping data, cache mem, dalvik cache but no use and now i am on stock recovery menu. please help me out

i have this Samsung i9220 china i try to flash upgrade the firmware with Odin3 v1.85 . i got stock phone can't power non recover modem non booting logo , does anyone have any ideas ?

[Q] CWM boot loop?

Hi i have the i9001, I rooted the phone earlier and all was fine, I then went to install cwm via odin using the 2 files and it flashed them and the phone rebooted back into android where it then said pass on odin even though it timed out? i tried booting into cwm and was succesful so thought nothing of it and backed up my rom and then flashed real rom.
and now my phone will only boot into cwm and thats it and after while will turn off and reboot into cwm and it will keep doing this.
I have no sd card installed. and i still have the problem when i restore the stock rom.
Any help guys as this isnt my phone?

This happened to me on my I9000 so might work. My solution was to wipe data/cache partition/dalvik again in cwm, re flash new ROM and reboot, if back into cwm then repeat. Took me 3 repeats then booted fine. Happened as I upgraded from stock GB 2.3.6 to CM10.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Yes that normal if you want to upgrade from GB zu JB. Because of first the change of the kernel respectivly the change to new CWM, and then for the new partitionlayout, you have to flash 2 or sometimes even 3 times the rom of your choice and then it should boot....!

[Q] GALAXY S I9000 -boot loop(how to fix?)

(sorry for my English )
the thing is that my Samsung S wont starts ,when i click the power button its starts in CWM RECOVERY and when i press "reboot system now" it enters a boot loop (the logo keeps running over and over and the phone)
before this happened i originally had the stock ROM of my cellular carrier (2.3.3
then i decided to install another rom and kernel (cyanogenmod 10) so i installed first a clean stock rom (2.3.6) via odin
and then the cyanogenmod rom and kernel (up to now its all fine)
after that i wanted to change and install other rom so i installed again the clean stock rom 2.3.6 via odin...and from then it started to boot loop.
i thought that if i will install the kernel again it will be OK ,but it wont..
and now im in the situation that i have described above..
help SOMEONE please=]

it is because the latest CM10 is based on a different partitioning layout than the stock one.. after flashing CM10 once when you go in a boot loop.. go to CWM recovery by using the three button combo and flash CM10 again.. . this time your rom will boot:good:

I installed the kernel and then the stock rom again but now its just bootlooping without getting load up to CWM recovery
so how can i get into CWM recovery????
(i tried VolumeUP+HOME+POWER but it just get into regular recovery...)

pull out your battery for a couple of minutes then replace battery
;hold three button forever or until it goes into recovery if that doesnt work
reflash through odin and do it again or check out darkyrom 10. re this gets flashed through odin

flash darkyrom 10.2 Resurrection edition using odin.. this will give you a GB rom with root
flash CM10 through CWM recovery
reboot.. (you may not be able to boot as of now)
go to CWM recovery again using 3 button combo
flash CM10 again
reboot
this should do the trick

THANK YOU TWO
the Darkys rom 10.2 re was great --- it starts now hahah
i Will try now another rom (not cyagonmod but PilotX)
thank you very muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

ParanoidAndroid v2.6 Installation Issue (Phone not booting)

I have a LG optimus 2x smartphone.
Today I was trying to flash the ParanoidAndroid v2.6 rom instead of my current MIUI v2.4.20 rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097807
Everything went fine i.e. I wiped data, formatted the system etc......Then, I flashed the paranoid android rom + GAPPS which also went well. Unfortunately, I forgot to flash the latest kowalski kernal and rebooted my phone (from CWM recovery).
Now, the problem is that the phone is stuck at the LG boot screen and doesn't go beyond that. Also, I am unable to go into CWM recovery as well.
Can anyone help me here to what should i do to restore my phone or at-least go into CWM recovery mode so that I can recover my phone to my previous state (I had backed up my kernal and system before flashing your rom)?

I have searched for Odin in the forums. It only supports Samsung devices.
Can you provide me a link of Odin for LG devices

Which version did you flash? NewBL or OldBL. And AIO toolkit is your friend now

Well, you haven't lost recovery (cwm) because that's not overwritten when flashing a rom from recovery. Make sure you boot to cwm the correct way(vol- and power button, release them a few seconds art the lg logo appears, if it's white it's old bootloader, pink is new bootloader).
