[Q] Gingerbread 2.3.6. cannot enter to recovery menu

Hi,
I bought galaxy ace a week ago... updated via the latest gingerbread 2.3.6. (official way). After few days of testing the phone I found out that it is quite slow therefore I decided to root it... there is the problem, I cannot enter to recovery menu (home + power), even to download menu (home + vol down + power), everytime I hold the above mentioned combination I got soft reset of the phone... no menu, no nothing. I could not find anything on the web.. Could you help me how to enter to recovery menu OR how to root to CM7.2. a CWM without entering to recovery menu.
I believe the recovery menu has been blocked with new gingerbread 2.3.6.
Thank you.

I don't think so (about the blocked recovery) ..u go on trying dude ..recovery mode is a bit tougher to get in stock rom ..u should get it on the 10th attempt ( at least) I believe ..btw there are rooting guides in this forum ...check them out

does it mean that i should hold power + home for 10 soft restarts?

I think so here's a tip press the home button first ..keep it pressed and then press the power button UNTILL THE SCREEN COMES ON...recovery mode is tougher to get in stock rom(well at least for me )..in cm7 its nothing ..

I tried to soft restart 10 times no luck... even with your tip...can anyone else help me please?

only odin can help you as if you are not able to get into any kind of recovery and want cwm then odin is the only path for you .. do backup contacts,sms if you want
all other things will be lost..
and if you don't want to loose things then choose to skip rooting and love what you have now
and 2.3.6 haven't blocked recovery btw as i am using it

I cant use ODIN as I cannot access to download menu (vol down + home + power). Anyone else who can me advice?

turn your phone off!
Now without pressing the power button!
Hold the center button and plug your charger!

Still does not work, any other solution?

Try this if you have root access then install ROM toolbox from the market and try going into recovery via the app

Dude read the post properly I guess he's on stock rom and the only way of rooting gingerbread is the update.zip method ( correct me if I'm wrong ) ..so there's no way he could have root access ...

Try adb

HE CANNOT ENTER RECOVERY MODE!
If you bought that way you should take it back show problem and let service take care of that!
Say that you were trying to do a factory reset when you found out that you coudn´t enter recovery mode!

I'm on stock ROM, just flashed this morning using ODIN. Even root will go then. To go into recovery press the home+power button till the phone turns on, leave the power button not the home button. You should land up in recovery. If that doesn't work then try using ADB. Go to adb with your phone normally on:
adb reboot recovery
but try flash recovery again
to enter fastboot:
adb reboot bootloader
And if You've worked with ODIN then download a new bootloader and flash it using ODIN.I think (not sure) the problem is with secondary bootloader (SBL).Put the phone into download mode using ADB:
adb reboot download
This will put your phone in download mode. Check Odin now, and if ID:COM has turned yellow, you’re good to gnce you’re satisfied, press the Start button on Odin. The flash will take couple of seconds, after which your phone will reboot automatically.
That’s it. This should fix your download and recovery mode 3-button combo issue. You can now apply any mods with the normal procedure.

You had mentioned updating to 2.3.6 in the official way? Kies or Service center? If Kies then did you get the download mode when it was updating? And No, Recovery is not blocked on 2.3.6

If even adb isn't working
I would take it in to the service center and tell them you can't access (stock)recovery

yeps it might be difficult first time,,,but never after i found it difficult,,,,
u need a working hand and usable brain....
hold the middle button and power button and as when u see the start screen just let go off the power button but still hold on middle button,,,
and u are in recovery mode...
same goes for download mode
keep hold on the vol down+middle button+power and then just let go off power button as u see the start screen(rather anything coming on screen )
enjoy

there is also an app in market ... quick boot or speed boot something like that...
and it DOESNT need root permission (long time no use so dont remember exactly but it should be)
u can try that

I had the same problem, but luckily I found this thread.
I can enter to recovery ONLY with adb reboot recovery command, pressing home button does nothing.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note Will not On?(BLACK SCREEN)

i have a samsung galaxy note(GT-N7000) and it was working fine until
i accidentally flashed a samsung Galaxy SII STOCK firmware on it from Odin the flasing completed successfully but the device is with a black screen does not boot to download mode or recovery mode.
Please i need a solution

Have you tried a battery pull? Leave battery out of Note for about two-to-three minutes. Then try booting into recovery mode again?
Are you using volume up+ home then hold power until you get welcome screen for recovery?
If you have a backup from when you first got your note, try download mode - volume down + home then hold power until you get the welcome splash screen.

Still Not Working!!!

i tried but it will not boot at all no recovery mode no download mode
But it was working before i accidentally flash SII Firmware
is there a way to flash back the note firmware without going to download mode because the device will not boot

Help!!!
Please Reply Devolopers

While your Note is connected to PC Odin, try to get into download mode (vol down + home + power) then vol up, until you see there is connection in Odin (COM:ID turns yellow). Hopefully you still have 'life' there but just no screen/sound. Once you have that, flash a Note's firmware.

Sorry to say mate but your next and the only step is nearest samsung service center! :-(

After complete your phone can boot to download mod and you must flash original rom for galaxy note by download form www.sammobile.com
Good luck.

Wrong flash file
Happend to me to because av samfirmware´s system to list other phones firmware under the categorie "Latest Firmware" after searching for N7000....not good at all.
Of course i should have read more careful but after flashing cells since a few years back i did not think i could fall for that ;-)
So flashing the bootloader helped me back on track, got the screen back and started over with original fw. Thanks for the tip!

Wow dude.
This worked for me to.
I wanted to flash a Rom but it did not work.
So i flashed back to stock Rom that i downloaded from sammobile.
This resulted in a black screen. Flashed a earlier version...still black screen.
But i noticed that the phone worked normally accept the screen was black.
I tried a few thing's until i found this. Genius!
Thanks for sharing dude.

Hmm i tried the steps mentioned, I think i managed to flash the original n7000 firmware and rom, but unfortunately i still see black screen. I can hear the starting tone of samsung while booting up thought, so my system is still working, jz the screen is not. Oh boy, could that be hardware issue then? Anyone knows how to check?

[Q] Boot loop, can't enter recovery mode.

So this morning I was using my phone as normal when it froze. Then I rebooted and it just stays bootlooping. I'm using a recent nightly of CM9 and I can't enter recovery mode to reflash the phone. How do I install CM9 using Odin? Is there any other software for that? I can enter download mode just fine.

gcuchiha said:
Maybe its a boot loop. Switch off your phone and check if download and recovery mode is available(see next paragraph).
If so follow the steps mentioned.
First of all download xxjw4 firmware for galaxy gt-I9000 from
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/150483619/708026d/I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_XEU.zip.html
1) Put your phone into Recovery mode (Vol up + Home + Power button) and perform a Wipe data/Factory reset, then a Wipe cache. When done pull the battery out for around ten seconds then re-insert.
(If recovery isn't working ignore this step)
2) Put the phone into Download mode (Vol down + Home + Power button)
3) Unzip the JW4 firmware folder you've downloaded to your Desktop.
4) Launch Odin and click on the button that says PDA and navigate to the PDA file you've just unzipped to your desktop and select it.
5) Connect your phone to your PC via USB. Odin will say Added and a box will turn yellow to indicate it has recognised your phone.
6) Click the start button in Odin and sit back and wait for Odin to flash your phone. When it's finished it will take a few minutes longer for the phone to reboot than is usual so please don't panic. The phone will reboot.
7) When the phone has rebooted, remove the USB cable and you now have the latest 2.3.6. It might be a good idea to repeat step 1 to make sure nothing of the old firmware is left behind.
And that's it, seven steps to 2.3.6 JW4 Value Pack and TouchWiz 4.

just press (home+power+vol dwn) together in wat ever state and check if it goes to the download mode

I think you are not bricked
Are you able to enter recovery mode
If yo can,try clearing cache and dalvic cache,but dont do a factory reset since you are on ics
If it doesnt work,try flashing a gb rom

The screen is black! cannot see anything on it so i wont be able to see what iam doing. i can hear start up sound and see the lights only.
right now my phone is off so iam sure i can go into download mode and connect it to odin!
i need the correct steps if possible, i dont think its bricked at all either. hopefully the OP thread guy has a solution but if he does not, i will need some damn help!
BTW iam on a speedmod v13 kernal. so if ive got no choice but to flash a rom, my kernal is safe right?

YEP it has connected and is showing yellow in the port!
YES screen is blank, NOTHING is showing up at all. it might be due to the 2.tar file i had to flash in bootloader in odin.
What methods does anyone recommend? or shall i also wait until the OP guy responds incase he has a solution. does this mean iam not bricked if i can connect and hear restart sound and lights?

These were the instructions i followed
1)You need a JIG. You can buy it or create its own
2) Download attached zip archive and extract it to some folder
3) Reboot you device in download mode - turn it off, than hold volume down + center button + power button. Wait for the warning message and press volume up
4) Plug it to you PC
5) Start Odin from extracted folder and choose '1.tar' file for PDA flash. You must get the same settings
6) Press Start and wait for the completion of the flashing
7) After reboot you should get black and dead screen. Unplug USB from PC. Long press power button (15-20 seconds). Remove battery for 5 seconds, plug in JIG, put battery back. Wait for 40 seconds, press power button for 5 seconds, remove JIG, long press power button (15-20 seconds), remove battery
8) Put battery back, hold volume down + center button + power button for 10-15 seconds, press volume up, plug it to you PC
9)If you have stock/custom ICS ROM (Android 4.0.3 or 4.0.4) your step is:
Start Odin from extracted folder and choose '2-ZSLPF.tar' file for BOOTLOADER flash
10) Press Start and wait for the completion of the flashing
At points 7-10 the screen will not work!
Followed this down to a T, i had to download and use both of those tar files mentioned for my device which is ics 4.0.4 stock.

Yes ofcourse screen is blank.. in op said At points 7-10 the screen will not work! so at point 8 even after we press 3 button the screen is still blank.. so just assume screen is on.

Yes if this has been recommended and worked, then try it. Otherwise download stock pre-rooted GB rom from dr.ketan's thread if you do not have stock GB firmware and flash it using pc odin.

Download rooted GB rom from Dr.Ketan's signature above and flash using pc odin in download mode.
I told you earlier to download stock GB rom as backup before doing anything, lol.

is that the link that says downgrade to pre rooted GB ROM?
if correct...do i just go into download mode and select PDA to get the zip and just press start?????

Yes that's prerooted rom, you need first to extract it to .tar
Zip file won't flash by pc odin. If you dont have unzip tool to.extract, find toolbox on my signature and you will find unzip tool. Use that tool to extract zip file.

Yes ofcourse screen is blank.. in op said At points 7-10 the screen will not work! so at point 8 even after we press 3 button the screen is still blank.. so just assume screen is on. After we press 3 buttons in 10-15 seconds then release (screen still blank) then press vol up (screen still blank) then connect pc to device (while screen still blank) then open pc odin (it will detect your device) then start next step...

Reboot Loop

Heys guys ive got a problem with my S5830i, i wanted to flash AceCream v1 for the second time but at some point i failed, (i flashed it succesfully first time)
now my phone is Rebooting everytime and black brick appears on the screen covering 4/5 of the Galaxy ace logo
whenever i try to go into CWM, it just reboots.
I've tried odin, won't even connect to the phone.
Does anyone know how o fix that? Help would be really appreciated.

I can't go to recovery mode, and dunno what Download mode is
is it battery with loading circle on it?

download mode: vol up + vol down + power button
recovery mode: vol up + power + menu.
in order to connect your phone and use odin you should go to download mode.

Yes i can, and it didnt reboot, so it means my phone isn't hard bricked

yes maybe just a soft one. You do know how to use Odin, right? You can flash a stock firmware, there's one thread who has stock firmware just follow the instructions from there. try this. Hope you fix your ace in no time :good:

Try installing the Samsung drivers yourself, I think there is one in Sammobile.com. Not sure though, or just try visiting samsung's website and download the drivers.

Just Google for Samsung mobile usb driver, i have just downloaded it few hours ago.
