You can get in recovery mode using ROM Manager (CWM) or abd from your computer.

thank you for your fast reply
i'm installing abd but ... i'm curious about one thing ?
Will I have the 3 buttons recovering mode like before after doing this new update.zip ?

Duno if the update.zip will do it but most ROM you flash will come with a kernel that has it.
I've personnaly tried many ROMs and they all had it so far.

thank you so much i've just flash the update.zip to root it ... dont see any difference with before... but ive just adb recovery rebooted well , and reinstalled packaging after putting,
so ill try step 3 and will give news soon thx so much .

Glad I could help
Don't hesitate if you need more help.

Roms DO NOT have a 3 button fix. If you want it, and you should, there is an odin package in thee dev section to flash the 3 button fix. Otherwise flashing a rom will not do it.

use this Odin to always have your 3 button intact...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439&highlight=button+combo
now you can just flash this cwm package to get your 3 button combo back http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812434&highlight=button+combo

I though Kernel had it? (Feel free to correct me )
Either way, Odin isn't something to mess around when you start flashing (IMO) - He won't need the 3 button fix (if it doesn't come with the ROM/kernel he's flashing) as he can use abd, ROM Manager and power button menu to get to recovery mode.

no roms or kernels has 3 button combo fix....most of the roms recommends NOT to use ROM manager anymore like see faqs of serendipity...

Wow thanks for the correction. Sorry I missled you OP. Atleast you got your recovery
Also, I know some Dev recommend not using ROM Manager but it can be useful. Especially when starting, you can get rid of it after but it does make things easier at 1st

The 3 button fix is an emergency option, say you flash something and end up in a boot loop, adb, rom manager, or the power menu isn't gonna do you one but of good in that situation. Only option then would be to use odin to get back to stock. So odin before get the fix and recover from recoverable mistakes, or make a mistake like that without the fix and still have to use odin to get to stock and start all over...

[Q] Bricked Galaxy Mini

Hi, I live in Egypt for a while and I bought last month a Mini. Everything was going just fine, I was using Odin many times to try new roms, and CWM Recovery to give a try to custom roms, without problems. Yesterday morning I flashed my device with the 2.3.6 rom that I found on this forum, apparently made for Latin America. Since that moment, my mobile is on boot loop, i can't do anything, I only can access downloading mode, I tried to reflash gingerbread 2.3.4, and2.3.5, it goes well, Odin gives me the PASS message, but still my mobile is forever rebooting at Samsung logo. I can't access recovery.
What to do? Is it bricked and do I have to send it to Samsung Center or is there hope to fix it by myself?
Thank you for any help...
Yohan

u cant even enter recovery?if u can,just wipe cache and data..

Just remove the battery and stop your phone.
Put the battery in again.
Go to recovery mode by pressing Home + Power button at the same time.
In the reocevey choose wipe data/factory reset option.
Reboot your device after you are done.
You mobile will boot up fine.

Thank you for your answers but I wanna insists on a point: I can't access recovery at all, the phone show me the samsung logo for about half a second then restarts, and is looping in this state. No recovery, only downloading mode and RAMDUMP Mode (ARM9 mode) & Emergency Dload Mode (ARM9 Mode). Nothing else is avalaible.
Helppp

hey man i've already had that problem..coz i flash 2.3.6 and encountered same problem but i manage to fix it.. you need to enter recovery mode... Note: you need to hold the home & power button and wait for the samsung logo to flash TWICE (2X),when the 2nd logo flash, just realease the buttons and your on recovery mode.just wipe/ data reset.. right now im using Ginger bread 2.3.6JKVT and its rooted also.

No, I can't access recovery sorry.

Connect your phone to your laptop.
Use ADB
Type this :
adb shell reboot recovery
That will take you to download mode,then you can flash rom again. It would be easier if you have a CWM installed

If you can't access recovery either falsh CWM recovery or Flash another firmware from Download mode. If you want to flash CWM recovery just follow the link below for Galaxy Mini and search CWM recovery.

I tried many times, since i have this problem, to flash and reflash, official roms, CWR, but nothing works, setup goes fine according to Odin, but still have the problem on my phone, still only downloading mode works, and still a flashing screen, just during the samsung logo.

No one can help me with my mobile???

did you wait for the samsumg logo to flash tiwce while holding the combo key? you see when im installing firmware using odin my laptop turn off coz i dont have a battery i thought my mini was brick because the process was not finish,so what happen i tried to acces recovery mode its only shows a computer icon & phone icon. but i manage to fix the problem i go to download mode and flash again another firmware. and everything goes fine..so how come that you cant access recorvery...i would suggest that you flash a firmware with 4 parts not a single package.

just try this www*mediafire*com/?br3r8fod5g3vud4 flash this firmware with Odin this will surely work please replace * with . brace my post count is not enough to post outside link

As long as you can enter download mode... you are safe. If you can... just flash it back with Odin.

i had a same problem too.
my phone cannot power on, and ONLY download mode only working.
i flashed it for so many time too, and it doesn't seem to fix the problem.
so any fix on this ?

To ybregeon and Tre3,
I had the exact same issue, only Download Mode and RAM Dump, but could not enter recovery mode. Tried flashing many ROMs, oneclick unbrick, Heimdall recovery etc. but still no solutions available, I tried many-many tricks with no luck. So I went to Samsung Service Center, and it turned out that the problem is in the mainboard. It took me one night before Samsung replaced the mainboard from my phone and it's been working well since. All free of charge.
I hope your warranty is still valid. Good luck.

reflash the XXKPI/XXKPK 2.3.4 then flash the cmw, xxkpi and xxkpk is the safest stock gb rom to install

Flash odin and go to recovery mode and wipe.
It should work.

Bricked Galaxy Ace

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I don't think so... Anyway I had a perfectly working Galaxy Ace coming with stock Android 2.3.4. So I tried rooting it, and I did see the superuser icon but I couldn't apps into the SD card. So I ignored it and downloaded a custom rom and entered recovery mode, wiped data and cache first and rebooted. Then I installed the rom in recovery mode and it said installation successful but when I rebooted I got stuck at the "GALAXY ACE" page and I noticed a weird small blue triangle at the top left hand. And nothing happens. Please help it's nearly brand new! My parents don't know yet... If there is a way to use the com and download the stock rom please provide step by step instructions that was my first smartphone so much help would be appreaciated!

Am not an expert but i would take battery out then put back in holding volume down key home key and power key at sametime to put into download mode then flash your stock rom via odin to get it back running again
have you done a datwipe in cwm after installing? try that first

Hey there!
Before We get to ODIN
Start phone in recovery mode ( Center Button + Power Button ) and then:
- Do a Factory Reset
- Do Wipe Cache
Then Reboot
If he boots great!
If not and still remains at ACE screen do this:
1st - Download Odin 4.38 (http://www.4shared.com/rar/UqBhp5Qd/Odin_Multi_Downloader_v438_www.html)
2nd - Download Cooper.ops (http://hotfile.com/dl/138852983/36a55ea/Cooper_v1.0.ops.rar.html)
3rd - Go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and search firmware for your s5830
Then choose the rom that suits you best (download one from your country if possible)
After the above steps are done open odin
At "option" select - "One Package, Auto-Reboot And Protect OPS"
At "select OPS" - choose "Cooper.ops" (The file you´ve downloaded)
At bottom is "One Package" - In here put the file of the room you´ve dowloaded
Finaly put phone in download mode (Vol. Down + Power Button) and connect it to your PC.
Wait for odin to recognize your phone, a yellow sign will light up, ( you need samsung kies in your computer so odin recognize your phone)
And then hit "Start"
Wait about five minutes at the end your phone should reboot by itself
And that should be it
If your phone reboots but stuck ate samsung boot animation.
Remove Battery
Put it back again
Turn your phone into recovery mode ( Center Button + Power Button )
Do Wipe Factory/Reset and Wipe cache, reboot,
and your good to go!

I rebooted I got stuck at the "GALAXY ACE" page and I noticed a weird small blue triangle at the top left hand
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the blue triangle isn't this CWM 5?
or if can you get to recovery mode try flashing the original stock recovery first
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437426
then install a stock rom with Odin
and boot from the stock recovery to fix the phone boot
if recovery is working you should fix the phone easily with stock rom.

installing a stock rom will install the stock recovery by itself!
so no need to flash stock recovery before flashing stock rom!

Can someone please explain what went wrong here in the first place?

[Q] Note completely dead !!NO CWM, NO RECOVERY MODE... NEED DESPARATE HELP

Samsung note on rocket rom (honeycomb 2.3.6) is completely dead.
the phone is rooted.
tried to install ics theme v 1.6.1 While flasking in cwm, it said INSTALLED.
tried to reset binary counter by flasing a zip file, it said INSTALLED.
went to reboot system, it never booted, neither in cwm mode, nor in custom flash recovery mode. does not even show battery icon when put to charge.
battery was @ 80% when all this happened..
pls help, its not even 10days of my purchase...........

listen, first relax
anything you make in hurry, will brick it, even if really not bricked.
What about download mode?
(Vol down + Home + Power)
if you are able to get into download mode, just flash any stock rom from here with PC Odin.

thanks for quick reply...

Relax. Just dont blindly keep flashing things.
Search, Read the post completely before flashing anything to know about the issues and compatibility. And follow the instructions to core.
And if anything goes wrong then don't panic. People are here to guide you.
Try getting a jig now as that is the only way to revive it if the phone is not going to recovery or download mode.
It will get fixed...dont worry mate

[Q] Need to straight up nuke my I9000 - Many an issue

Hey guys, it's been a while!
Anyway, before I even got my I9000 I had everything sorted to install Darky's ROM and the Speedmod kernel. Some time between them working perfectly and now, I plugged the phone in to Kies and it has tried to update me to GB. SM and DR did not like this.
I managed to do a factory reset (or whatever it is in CWM), and that got the phone to boot, but it isn't pretty. I get the kind of graphical messing up that a dying GPU would render whilst booting the phone, it reboots 25% of the time I am using the music player, and I can NOT boot in to download or recovery any more. I already tried plugging it in to Kies in the hopes it could just wipe the phone over and start again, but it simply does not recognise it.
Likewise, I would look in to the files I need to just do the equivalent of a full format with Odin/ADB, but without download mode I don't think that would even work.
So, the question is; just what the **** am I supposed to do?

USB recovery jig.

can you get into your phone ??????????? I mean can you reach Settings ???? because I didnt read all your speech .

Search for "recovery.tar" and flash it with MOBILE Odin, this would give u cwm and flash a new rom in cwm or flash a stock rom with mobile Odin. Good luck

Mobile Odin? Interesting, will look in to it.
EDIT: This recovery.tar; should it be on my phone already or do I have to find one? Because Astro can't find jack **** on my phone.
EDIT2: Scratch that, found it. Trying to flash it using "Open File..." has just resulted in it being stuck at:
"Flashing...
Flashing Kernel..."
for the last 10 minutes...
Thanks for the replies so far guys!

solved it ???????????

Nope. Sorry, I have been editing that post rather than enter new posts (until someone else posts, of course).
EDIT: Still flashing...

Ok, it now won't boot at all (stuck at the Samsung splash load screen), BUT, importantly, I can get in to download mode and CWM recovery.
What do I download and do to entirely wipe the **** out of this phone and start again?
EDIT:
Fixed. Sorted. Thanks for your help guys, it is much appreciated.
