vol- & power doesnt boot into recovery

I rooted my 2X with super one click and installed CWM 5.0.2.0 using rom manager. I used the rom manager to reboot in to recovery for the first time, then I tried to boot into recovery by holding down vol- & power but instead of taking me to recovery it gets stuck at LG logo. I had to remove the battery to reboot the phone.
Any one got a solution for this.

It works now, I just kept holding Vol- & power button for around 10 secs after the LG logo apeared then released and it went to recovery.

It isnt rom manager is an app that lets you quickly reboot to CWM witput pressing any buttons

Yup, this was the first time I tried to boot into recovery manually. These apps are no use once you flash a new baseband using smartflash as it will do a full wipe of the device and you have to enter recovery manually.

the tricky part is to release the power button at the right time, or immediately the first menu item (= reboot system now) will be executed.

You are absolutely right, I just released the buttons as soon as the LG logo appeared. As a result it gets stuck and I have to remove the battery.

hisham i did the same but my phone is stuck on the logo too....i tried to boot in recovery mode but its still stuck/////

Try booting into recovery again, this time hold the Vol- and power button a little bit longer (maybe 15 or 20 secs) and also try updating CWM to the latest using ROM Manager.

my phone has stopped booting all togather!! i m on stock....

I dont have a clue whats going on but you can use smartflash to restore the device to factory. If anyone has a better solution please tell.

Give this a try

Same here
I have almost the same problem. That is, when I try booting to recovery from ROM manager, my phone is stuck on the LG logo (red one), but when I try holding vol- and power button to boot into recovery it just does a regular boot.
I recently went from CM7 to a new stock ROM using Smartflash tool, but I want to change back due to lack of apps available.
I have also installed CWM from the AIO-toolkit for P990, but this didn't help. I still cant boot into recovery.
Does anyone have a solution to this? I want to flash a new ROM rather than the stock LG one.

with CWM 5.x.x.x you have to push and hold both power an volume- and after CWM screen is started DO NOT release the power button first but release the volume- first (keep powerbutton pushed all the time) and push volume- once so it does not choose the reboot option.
Then release both buttons, "scroll" with vol- or vol+ and "enter" with powerbutton
First time i used the CWM5.XXX the "reboots" did drive my creazy

Occurred to me too and solved flashing TG v28g (which has root and recevery attached).

Galaxy Note 7000 Home button Issue

hi everybody
I bought this phone and the home button not working
first i want somebody to tell if have a custom rom or is the original ICS (See attachment)
Second, how can i check the button, like before boot

victorlht88 said:
looks like its running on stock rom.
you can try flashing another rom via odin, i've faced the same issue before when i removed certain apks in custom roms before flashing.
else boot into recovery mode and see if your home button can function when you make the selections.

how can i boot on recovery?
the phone is not rooted

Stock Recovery !
The G-Note has a stock recovery function as well. Just turn off your phone and hold the volume-up + Home + Power to enter into recovery. if this is successful then your home button functionality is good.

it might be a hardware fault go check up wid service centre.

I'm Pretty Sure Its A HardWare Fault Cause You Said you didn't flash any, rom or kernels Maybe you Could try flashing the stock rom with Odin again?

i didn't flash any but the item i bought it's second hand, in first post it's a picture with initial specs from phone. And the counter in download mode is around 16 and i only flashed 2 times

I'm back with my question:
it's any way to root my phone (with a custom rom already rooted) or anything else?
i can't restart my phone in recovery mode since y home button doesn't work
i want to root and after try to flash many rom's maybe it is not a hardware issue with home button
thanks

[Q] In reboot loop with no access to recovery mode

Hi,
I was trying to install 2.3.6 DDKQ6. The Odin process finished successfully and restarted the phone. But now the phone is in a boot loop. It keeps getting restarted after 2 seconds. I can't get to recovery mode.
I can access download mode but flashing even again (different ROM) doesn't work.
Please help me
Edited 10-22-2012: Still no solution found. I have tried many ROMS and even tried to flash stock recovery. Senior members, please suggest next step

Please, anyone has a solution to this problem?

Make sure the rom is in your region. Dont install a rom from another country. Try get to recovery mode with button combination. Search for more tutorials.

As long as ur phone is bootlooping, it can enter in stock recovery. So, take out battery, re-insert it, goto STOCK recovery & do "wipe data/factory reset" & wipe cache. It worked for me & for most of us too!!

I have tried the recovery button combination a lot of times. I believe recovery comes after the logo screen? But my phone keeps rebooting before even showing the logo screen.

Before flashing 2.3.6 DDKQ6, which firmware/rom u were using??

Here is the procedure i used for update.

I think
first comes the Samsung logo (no matter which ROM u have installed).
then comes your device logo (varies with the kernel installed).
then boot-screen.
If you press home+power button u will enter into the stock recovery console(if cwm or other recovery is not installed).
And if you don't press the home+power button then you will boot normally.
Be on the safe side
Press home+power button until u see the recovery console.
Most of the boot-loops can be solved by wiping up cache and factory reset.
Hope this will solve your problem.
Edit:
Try some after market ROMs they are way more fast and efficient than stock Samsung GB ROM. Try Apocalypse or
Democracy.

Just hold the power button and home button... release it when you see SAMSUNG.. flash the rom again if still you dont get any help...

Make sure you have power. Try plugging it in for a while.

Yeah that was the problem. Back to stock now. Guess now I learned to wait until I know for sure if a ROM can be flashed thru cwm.

[I9001] Phone stuck in bootloop

I don't know how the issue started. I have been using CM10 for almost 2 months without issues. I restarted the phone and boom! It was stuck in a bootloop with that boot animation keeping appearing all the time. I tried a factory reset, flashing the ROM again, flashing another ROM, and even flashing the stock ROM with all the images using ODIN. It was still stuck on the boot animation. I was surprised that the last solution didn't work because everytime I did it, the phone recovered from the bootloop.
I can still enter into download and recovery mode.

Samsung GT-I9000 boot into recovery mode after pressing the power button
Not sure it is the same problem or not, but my phone (Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000) keeps booting into recovery mode everytime I turn on the phone by pressing the power button. I tried to root with the stock PIT file and stock ROM or CWM recovery and stock ROM or any customized ROM, such as CMD 10.1, but it still boots into the recovery mode every time I turn on the phone WITHOUT using any combo keys, e.g. VOL down, Home and Power buttons).
The thing is that the recovery mode is not looping. Basically, after I press just the POWER button, the phone boots into the recovery mode and stay there.
Please help!
Many thanks!!!

Hey you are gonna want to flash a stock image using odin which will solve your problem. There should be a guide somewhere

My problem is solved, I had to go to "Mounts and storage" in recovery and choose "format /cache"

What you have to do is to flash the boot loader, I had the same exact problem and this solved it. But our devices are different so I don't think my boot loader will work on yours.
