[Q] Soft Brick with broken VOL+ button - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there. I've got a problem. I have just formatted in CWM my sdcard(internal) and some others options which were there.
And now I am stuck onto Samsung Logo. The problem is that i would flash new Jelly Bean but I've got broken Vol Up button.
Is there any option to flash Jelly bean without using Vol+ button? Probably a little bit of tea got to the button and it stopped working.
I wanted to send my Advance on warranty and I wanted to make it free of any traces of using not original rom( I had CM, PAC and some others).

Download stock firmware, go to download mode and flash it with Odin.

If you're not using volup then use voldown (LOL) and flash a firmware with odin.

Ye... When i press Vol- Home Power, then big warning screen shows before my eyes and to continue to download mode i have to press vol+ button. But I somehow made it(one on thousand clicks vol+ works) and i flashed fresh jb firmware and it's still bricked on samsung's logo!

****... I accidently flashed GB firmware XXKL2 instead of LQE... Holy crap. If i somehow manage to go into download mode can i still flash JB and it will work? Or there is no chance anymore...? (hell what an idiot of me)
YEAH! I have been clicking Vol+ key for about 20 minutes and it worked once(warning screen changed to download) and I flashed LQE this time and it worked. Uf. Now I am relieved. Thank you guys for your efforts. Now i will go to service and see if they repair this key. I'm curious if they do. It's hard to live without it

I do not get one thing, volume down get you to Download mode - and you used volume up. How did you flash firmware from Recovery?

You misunderstood. He used vol down key to enter download mode interface. The one it asked vol up to continue and vol down to cancel. Then, he tried pressing vol up for about 20 mins to get it work once to continue with download mode to flash the firmware using odin.

[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

Prouder to be a part of XDA
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 ..

Prouder to be a part of XDA
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
---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------
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] Power reset or unknown upload mode after flashing CM10

Hello guys!
While flashing to CM10 from CM9, my phone rebooted and stopped into screen "Power Reset or Unknown upload mode", no keys are pressed while booting. Any ideas how to fix this? I discharged battery completely and put it again but still this screen shows up.
any idea?
try to enter download mode it seems that kernel is broken
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
Enter download mode, and then using odin just install any custom firmware or a stock firmware !
Hope it helps ! :fingers-crossed:
i've tried home + vol down+ power button
only logo of Samsung showed up, after that annoying message "Power reset......"
any idea?
Are you able to boot into CWM? if yes, ask someone if he can take your sd card and download a CWMflashable zip to it. The plug it into your own phone and flash... :fingers are crossed for you:
------------------------------
working on:
SuperRom64 (2.3.6)
Project Stock (4.0.4)
whatever i'd press, all the time i see samsung logo and after 30 secs an error message.
1. Switch off your mobile.
2. Now, press and hold the volume up key and the power button. Leave both buttons when you see the SAMSUNG logo.
3. After "Galaxy S" splash screen you will get a white box and android logo image like below,then press menu soft key and wait some second.
4. If you boot into recovery, then wipe everything and then flash the ROM.
And it seems that you have managed to brick your mobile ! But try this I hope it solves your problem.

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:

The correct combination to activate the recovery is VolUp+Home+Power.

[Q] Soft Bricked Mini2?... Help plz

Hi guys, so i got a new Mini2, and... messed with it, pulled a firmware version from a dif zone by mistake... after i had cwm jena and clockworkz working, installed that asian firmware, and never got the phone to work again, tried several stock rom installs (17 and counting, with/without jena firmware download also), it just keeps doing the boot loop, and i can't access the Recovery menu (vol +/- home power buttons at start).
I've been reading all the meaningful threads here, tried doing button combination with battery, without and nothing seems to work.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Take it to samsung service senter if u got warranty and if isnt try to use another mini 2 battery but I think it may not work and try to press all butoms at same time for 2min and if nothing work buy or make a JTag
Sent from my GT-S6500D using xda app-developers app
go to download mode and don't accept terms (up volume) and quick hold recovery combination when it will start to reboot (ofc when samsung logo will appear don't hold keys). Try few times and it will work, if not 1st then another time. Do factory restet, reboot phone and take off battery. Turn on in download mode and install MD1 XEO stock and do again factory reset using trick from above (go to download mode and don't accept terms (up volume) and quick hold recovery combination when it will start to reboot.)

I'm glad to help you cheers
I have similar problem:
1. no recovery mode, only download mode
2. no matter what stock firmware I flash using odin I get bootloop
I tried the trick to go download mode > reject codition and then press the recovery mode combination but did not work
I wonder if there is a Cyanogen firmware in tar.md5 format so I can flash with odin ?

SOLVED...... Stuck in DOWNLOAD MODE

Went into download mode...power + vol up & vol down .... Now can't re-boot.
Tried holding power button forever and nothing ...
Anyone know the trick since pulling battery won't work LOL
SOLVED>>>>
For those needing to get out of ODIN / Download mode,....
You need to press in this sequence...
1st .... Vol Down (hold)
2nd...Power (hold)
While holding for 10 seconds it will now reboot
Ouch. What really sucks is that the battery is so damn good that it could be a while if you were to just let it drain.
I'm surprised that a long press on the power button isn't rebooting the device. I have plenty of Samsung devices (S6 edge and tablets) without removable batteries and if it gets stuck, holding the power button always does the trick.

Download Stock firmware from Sammobile
Dont panic
Download latest stock rom from sammobile in accordance to your model no
Note- download latest firmware. And also if you download firmware from other sources odin will not be able flash it so download latest stock rom from sammobile.
Then download ODIN 3 latest (3.12) and then select ap and then select the stock rom. It will take time just sit back and relax. If you try to scroll it will not respond. It will display a message LEAVE CS,
Now press and hold volume down key+ home button+ power button and get into download mode and then continue press Volume Up continue. Now get the original samsung cable and attach the cable to the pc,
Odin will display a message added. And then start. Do not interfere just sit back and relax.
Your phone is back
Oh yeah
