Try holding the power button and the volume up button at the same time...hold both until recovery starts.

It was volume up and those two buttons. But when i go to install update from sd card and select it, it won't install it.

for galaxy mini to enter recovery mode press & hold power+home....to enter download mode press & hold power+volume down+home..
i dont know what mini version you are

1. Switch off ur phone
2. Press the power + center button at the same time.
3. You will boot into recovery after a few seseconds
4. If u press vlo down + power + center buttons, u go into download mode not recovery.

And what's the point of download mode?

gingerbread 2.3.6 is your android version...when i said mini version,i mean mini model..sory
and i think you r still in stock rom so please go here to root your phone..the tutorial seem perfect to me...you'll know ur phone model & how to enter recovery then root ur phone....maybe that'll help..
Entering recovery mode on Ace GT-S5830i, Xcover, Young, Y-Duos, Y-Pro, Y-Pro Duos, M-Pro (Volume up Button) + (Home Button) + (Power button)....so you are not on Mini

I did everything that the post said and it's still not rooted. It said install sucessful, but there is no superuser, and when i go to rom manager it says i have to root it. it was strange to me too, but even in settings it's GT-S5570I.

galaxy y uses a different button combo..
i think u need to press vol up + power + home buttons to access recovery when the phone is switched off..
or if are rooted, install quick reboot app from playstore and go into recovery with a simple click.

recovery menu won't work with I9000 kernel on captivate, you need to flash a stock captivate kernel if you want to use the I9000 Rom.
did the captivate kernel flash finish successfully ?
if you see GT i9000 logo in boot up u still have i9000 kerner
thx 4 answer
i flashed it again and then it works.
dont know where´s the fail.
thx
u stuck in recovery mode, how u can go into download mode?
@ron
procedure A: (works with stock fw)
battery out/battery in
hold down [VOL +] and [VOL -]
plug in the usb
procedure B: (works with i9000 fw i think)
battery out/battery in
hold down [VOL +] and [POWER]
or procedure C:
phone in debugmode
adb reboot download
Nothing to see hear, misread something...
don't know if this works with the i9000 kernel but the back button on the bottom acts as a select button as well.

Galaxy S Plus no recovery mode

Hi!
I've just upgraded my Galaxy S Plus to the official 2.3.6 Gingerbread. Everything seems ok, maybe a bit slow though, I'd like to do a master reset but I can't be able to access the Recovery mode by pressing Volume Up and Power, Nothing happens. It just starts up normally.
I can't find anything regarding this matter.
Hopefully someone can help me.
Thanks :cyclops:
Odp: Galaxy S Plus no recovery mode
The correct combination to activate the recovery is VolUp+Home+Power.

press volume up + power until you see samsung logo, wait a couple of seconds then release power and then volume up. you should see an android out of the box, press menu. you shuld be in recovery now. you don't need root to do this, and you can root your sgs+ from stock recovery (i have an sgs+)

yes it is a clone.is there any chance to update it..
Man are you talking about recovery mode let me clear you
1.vol down + power key + home button = download mode [where you can use odin]
2.vol up + power key + home button = recovery mode [where you can flash zip files] [ It wont work until you flash this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066407]
or
if you r clear kill your phone by pressing vol down + power key + home button until you go to download mode [just kidding]
or
go into download mode by some apps in play store
Dude my advice until you found a solution for download mode dont do rooting and stuff because we need odin for soft bricks
or else it will be a hard brick

clones tend not to have download modes. also dont use anything for the real s3 mini, you will brick the clone

[Q] Bricked? If not, what can i do?

After installing Maclaw CW11.0 i decided to install SlimROM.
Now, It seems I'm in a Bootloop.
I'm unable to go to download mode or Recovery by using the buttons.. Vol Up(or Down) + Home + Power Doesn't do anything
Vol Up + Vol Down and then plugging in the USB cable doesn't do anything either...
I just see the SlimROM logo blinking for a while... then it stops... and it reboots...
Anyone any ideas of what i can do?

i think you forgot to wipe before flashing the new rom.
So pull out the battery, wait few seconds, put it in and try to reboot into recovery or download-mode.
Good luck
I'd love to do that, but how do I go into those modes if 3 button combo doesn't work nor vol up + vol down + plug in usb?

try this one (but without guarranty:
1. power off phone
2. remove battery.
3. plug in USB cable to computer and phone (with battery out)
4. hold Vol Up and Vol Down
5. drop in the battery while still holding the vol buttons
6. in 2 secs you'll be in download mode
Good luck
Thnx for the good luck
However, I've tried that method and it didn't work. I've ordered a USB Jig, maybe that can help.
Let you know
why cant you go to download mode
dont release those buttons until you go to download mode [do it when your phone is completly powered off]
did u flash three way combo recovery by benzonator

Not a brick only no system support
Download mode - use three way comnations only when ur phone is totally turned off and press and hold them don't leave them
I own multiple phones and tablets and I can get every single one into download mode. Just not this one. The three button combo does not work, not even when I remove my battery first. As soon as I'm home I'll make a small video of what happens.
Btw, the only mode I can actually get in to is: POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE
I get there by holding Vol Up & Power On
Any thoughts?

U r pressing wrong combination for download mode you have to press
Vol down + "power" + home and have to hold it to enter no s3 mini logo appears before download mode
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tdznfLJsyY
see in this video he doesnt leave power button
and after that flash 3 way recovery from this thread by using odin - download mode
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066407
@S. Phrenic
press vol up + menu + power much longer. The s3 mini logo appears 2 times and then recovery mode comes up.
if this doesn´t help, try ADB method
1. Download and install Android SDK
2. Connect the phone to the PC via USB
3. Press Win key+ r and type cmd
4. Type adb reboot recovery
5. Done. Phone should reboot into recovery
Good luck
In the video I'm showing 3 different things:
1. Vol Up + Power + Home
2. Vol Down + Power + Home
3. Vol Up + Vol Down
Non of them work. I checked your video, I don't see how I do anything different.
Duration change, check! I've now held it for 3 min.
I've got a S2 plus laying next to me and I can get into download mode without any trouble. This means I know how to get into recovery and download mode without any trouble.

Does my phone need to be turned on for the adb method?
it says, error: device not found
Kies doesn't see the device... because it's not powered i'm assuming..
Think I found my problem.... USB debugging is disabled... I think.... as I can't remember enabling it
Try emergency restore in Samsung Kies.

Yes it needs to be turned on to system with adb debug, or to custom recovery.
For emergency mode in kies I think you need download mode as well.
You don't need adb debug enabled to use download mode, but for some reason you can't enter dl-mode

Does your phone boots on recovery?
If yes, try to flash a custom rom.
If you don't want custom rom search for your country's stock rom and use odin to flash it.

i try flash the new recovery, but when i get into download mode its just only 10 second after that its restart.. i cant do anything anymore
Try just keep holding the keys to get into recovery for several loops, eventually it should go into recovery and then start getting stock rom flashed. If this doesn't work, try j-tagging (only last resort tho)
Current phone: rooted Samsung galaxy mini 2
Current rom: cm 11
Current recovery: CWM 6.0.4.7

I use CM10.1 improved 07 / 07 build and CWM v5 , probably due to a weak battery and phone suddenly turn off and turn on again but what happens after that is constantly vibrating , black screen and the phone fails to boot . First I tried to remove the battery and put it back the phone turns on its own without pressing the power button , then just like the above , continuous vibration ...
I tried other things , removing all installed on the phone and silence for 1 day . Replacing the battery , try to enter download mode , recovery , could but after a few seconds that happens is the same.
One thing , when I try to press the power button continuously , the mobile phone can boot successfully , and I try to enter download mode and flash a stock rom by pressing the power button continuously until the process is completed but did not help .
My conclusion is that the power button problem , or it may damage the IC associated with it . Any suggestions ? please enlightenment , gan .. thanks
SOLUTION
I have the same bug. And I mean that when I try to enter in the recovery mode, nothing happens.
If you have the same error , please continue reading this , if not, do everything else.
To force the phone to boot into recovery, you should be able to enter , first, in the download mode.
Please flash before , clockworkmod recovery. (I recomend 6.0.3.3)
Before you have flashed cwm, go to download mode again.
At the first screen, you will see an warning message. Now is the time to press some keys... see bellow (TIP: please do not skip the message with the volume up key ! )
Press the home button + volume down + volume up (home+down+up)
Note: You need to press the up+down , and hold it at the same time with the phone vibration.
Release the keys on the samsung logo screen. If you see under the ,,samsung galaxy mini 2,, an logo with clockworkmod. The problem is solved.
If you see the RAMDUMP mode, instead the recovery, go there to see my solution > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707219
IMPORTANT! > If you still see an black screen , instead samsung logo, please repeat all steps. It worked for me 100% after some long time.
He is trying to open recovery mode with vol up + home + power.
RECOVERY MODE IN GALAXY MINI 2 IS WITH VOL UP + VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER!!!!!!.
