I have an i9000 international, and I recently (attempted) to flash Darky's Rom 10 RC6, after flashing it in Odin, my phone started booting. All is fine until after 'S' logo screen. I've tried to get it into download mode frantically, but nothing is working. The 3 button press, not working. I've tried other methods, like removing the battery and plugging it into your computer, then volume buttons, but nothing...
Please help
Are you holding the Vol down + Home + Power buttons together long enough ?
Yeah, I've tried holding them down until the splash screen goes away. Just regularly boots, and then stop holding down power button when the splash screen is up. No luck. I think I might have to just jig it.
It can be tricky, in mine you first have to press home, then on+down, but in order that on goes before down...all other combinations at least in my I9000 won't work, and if it fails, remove the battery put back and try again.

You shouldn't even be seeing the splash screen.
What works for me everytime, is doing it in this order:
Press & hold down the vol-down button & home button, then (while still holding down those 2 buttons), press & hold the power button. You should be in Download mode in like 1 to 2 second. When you see the Download mode, let go of all 3 buttons.
Hi all,
My phone is EU retail, locked, unrooted. I updated from ICS to JB via manual download of the update and installation via SD card as explained in one of the more popular threads here. Now after the JB update, I want to enter recovery in order to clear the cache.
With ICS, I was perfectly capable to enter the stock recovery. Press power + vol. down for a few seconds, and the (fastboot?) menu appreaed where I could select recovery. Then the dead robot shows up, I pressu vol. up + vol. down and I had the expected options. Now on JB however, this does not work. It does not matter how long i hold power + vol.down, it always boots the system. When I press power + vol. down and keep holding the two buttons, the green LED goes on and off, then the phone vibrates, showes the red M and seemingly starts to boot. Then the screen goes off and it repeats the 3 steps (LED, vibrate, red M) but then goes on to boot up the system...
Is this supposed to happen?
Same here. It looks like there is no Recovery installed at all, so will try to flash one tonight.

I'm new to Motorola so need to ask...what is this stock recovery for? Is it the same as a typical 'custom recovery'? I've never heard of a manufacturer putting on in their ROM...so can I do a normal backup of a ROM or no? Thanks

Thanks, this releasing of the power button while still holding vol. down works reliable to get into fastboot. However, when I select recovery, the screen goes black? Something is not quite right with my phone...
Edit: I seem to get the hang of it. Now I finally get into recovery. When I select it from the fastboot menu, the screen gets black for a couple of seconds and then the dead robot appears. To get the options in recovery, I press both vol up + down at the same time twice. Initially, the layout in recovery is broken up. Just two blue lines at the top and a few characters in green at the left border. Once I press any of the volume buttons, the options finally appear.
Hmm I have not gotten into recovery on JB even once...can't get in.
help please!!
i have de same problem
when i push power button, the green led turns on for a few seconds and then the phone get off... i can not enter into recovery mode either
anyone know how to fix it or fix it already
thanks!! :crying:
The above tip doesn't work for me - either my timing is wrong or I don't understand the instuctions.
Someone else kindly explained it differently and eventually I got it working. That was posted in some other thread and I don't think it was directly related to recovery - I can't even find that post now!
I have found people saying they've got root on the RAZR M on locked bootloader Jelly Bean...but you need to access stock recovery which I can't do now.

That's the original post...I don't fully understand it.
I am grateful to that poster for trying help people - so I don't want to be misunderstood! :good:
If I were to describe the boot process to someone, nothing 'vibrates' - so I don't understand that. My phone doesn't vibrate when boot begins, and no 'i' vibrates either. Also, there are two 'i's. There is the i in Intel and in Inside. I'm guessing it's the first i. Believe me, I have tried 10 combinations like 50 times. I know it can be done, but can't do it using that post.
Nope, someone else explained it differently and I got it the first time. It wasn't a recovery thread so it's hard to find now.
Your Razr does not vibrate after boot? This is strange. Ok, let me try to describe the process based on my Razr i. (As simple as possible)
1. The mobile is turned off
2. Press and hold the Vol- button
3. Now press and hold the Power button and observe the green light. It turns on at the same time I press the Power button. The green light is on for approx. 2 seconds than it turns off.
4. Just at the moment when the green light turns off my Razr vibrates twice within 1 second.
5. I need to release the Power button before the 2. vibration and at least 0,5 seconds later the Vol- button. This is the point to get in the fast boot menu.
Without any vibration you should try to release the Power button just at the moment when the green light turns off - followed by releasing the Vol- button 0,5 seconds later.

I have bought a Second hand Ativ S and it turned out to be dev unit, it worked for the most part(occasional crashes), but recently it broke.
After it boots it gets me to a blue screen and then powers off. I can still access the download mode and the system files via USB. But I want to do a factory reset of some sort or at least be able to use it.
Can someone help me out with this? Is there a possibility to re flash it? or is there a combination of buttons i don't know about?

have tried to hard reset the phone by this steps?
If you can't access your phone's Settings page:
1.Turn off your phone.
2.Turn on your phone again by pressing the volume down button until you see the exclamation mark
3.Then, reset the phone by pressing the following four buttons in this order: Volume up, Volume down, Power, Volume down.
4.Your phone should now reset and restart itself. (It might take a while for the process to complete.)
And it didn't work for you? If not you have go to a Samsung store, probably they will flash you a normal OS to your phone...

I've tried that...it didn't work. I've also went to Samsung and apparently it made it worse. Initially my problem had a blue screen after booting but after I took it back from service the blue screen has disappeared and now the phone just powers down after the boot. THe guys at Samsung told me that the don't have the device number in their database and that the cannot do anything to it....so i'm hopping that some tool will pop-up and I'll be able to flash the device from home.
Also being an Engineering unit when I power the device based on your description it doesn't show me an exclamation mark it just goes dark and if i hook it up to the pc it shows as mass USB storage, and I can access the files on it. So there is something i'm missing for this device in particular.
Thanks anyway for your support.
Thank you again Jackson5...Really...Thank you, i've almost lost hope...after seeing your post and replying to it I said ....what the heck...lets try that again, and it worked...not with your steps exactly...I put the phone into a charger and it started to power up...Windows logo power down..and again power up and shutting down....Meanwhile I pressed Up on the volume and the exclamation mark appeared. and from there, suffice to say that I have a phone, again. So Thanks again

Same problem, help...
It seems Ive got the same problem with my Ativ S, I've tried everything and nothing is working...
Sorry, but can you tell me what buttons exactly and in what order did you press to get to the exclamation mark screen, please? I am sorry but I really cannot understand your explanation (your post) very well, you said:
"Windows logo power down..and again power up and shutting down....Meanwhile I pressed Up on the volume..."
Do you mean logo + power or logo + power + volume down or something else? I cannot understand the part "again power up and shutting down" either...
Thanks

If the phone powers down due to blue screen or any other problem you might encounter, connecting it to a power source will make your phone restart...so basically what happens is the Phone powers up reaches the error and shuts down, but because is plugged to a power source it will power back up. So while you are plugged with the device keep pressing those buttons... Having a Dev unit apparently it worked with the Vloume Up ...
-Press the Volume Down Key + Power Key to turn on the unit
- Still hold the volume down key, the release Power Key.
- Wait for the startup screen booting with an exclamation mark " ! " then release the volume down key.
- Press the following buttons in the following order: press the volume up (high volume key) ==> press volume key down (low volume key) ==> press the power key ==> press volume down key.
- Wait a moment and look at the screen, a message such as loading new software will start the hard reset process

I am trying to get in to the bootloader mode but its not letting me. Its like "fastboot" is enabled and wont go into bootloader mode. Any have success getting into bootloader mode? I tried adb reboot bootloader, it just reboots the phone, doesn't go into bootloader.
I think because it's locked. You'll have to do a bit of research on how to unlock it. I'm not really sure though

I have an s6 edge and when I woke up it was stuck on a bright blue "Downloading please do not turn off the device" message and in the top left it had the device name and. binary type and lock mode ect. nothing made the screen go away till i held all four buttons at once for a few seconds. Unfortunately, all that did was lock the screen so now I cant see anying and no button combination seems to work or have any effect.

How to fix my screen (LCD)
Please is there anyone to help me fix my Samsung S6 screen (Lcd) ,the phone has fallen down and develop a big straight line on the screen which is deflecting my viewing .Anyone to help me get a second hand screen or lcd willng to send it to Zimbabwe please,Help
I got a rainbow screen just now that would go away if you tapped but would come right back. My battery drained from about 60% to 5% in a few seconds. I restarted normally and it booted into the Downloading Please Do NOt Turn Off bright blue/green screen. Followed instructions to hold the volume down, power, and home keys and got to the reboot screen. Booted into safe mode and plugged my phone in, within about a minute the rainbow screen came back and my battery (which was charging) drained away the last 5%.
It's off and charging now, does anyone have any idea what's causing this to happen?
what can you do if that still doesn't do nothing....
Hi there i have a HTC One Mini 2 and i have forgotten the swipe password (as in the pattern).
So i turn phone off and hold power and vol down continuously and all it does is boot up (really fast).
I tried power and vol up for download mode and that doesnt work either.
So downloaded ADB, running that through command prompt (admin) and it says that my device is unauthorised.
So.....i am assuming that the usb debugging is disabled on the device. As far as i know its not been rooted.
The volume up and down work fine so its not them that dont work.
So my question is, is there any way to completely wipe the device? If so can it be rooted and it work that way?
For the record, when i connect the phone to Laptop it shows up, i have downloaded the google usb drivers, also the latest htc drivers. I turned off Anti virus and Firewall too.
Thanks in advance.
Try this: When android is up and running, press and hold VOL UP + POWER untill you see message about phone rebooting in xx seconds. Just as the screen goes black, let go of both buttons and immediately hold POWER + VOL DOWN. It should reboot into Bootloader without any delay or vibration.
