Hello!
I'm sorry for the stupid question, but I can't enter the mode. I press "on key" and then "volume down key", after that i tried the other combination "on" and "+", but nothing happens.
Thanks!

Have you installed a recovery? Please read post 2 of the all in one thread, it has all these FAQs in there
May I use the opportunity?
In the 2. post is said keep on pressing Vol+. I press On a couple of times. I just tried Vol+ for the very first time and it also works. Just FYI.
Hey, I have same problem
Sony Xperia V. I was unlocked bootloader and check it - it is unlocked. After this phone settings was default`ed. Then I rooted the phone and installed superuser. It`s a 4.1.2 JB 9.1.A.1.140. Then I installed recovery menu as it`s said in FAQ in all in one post, and install.bat said that it`s installed and all is ok. But I can't go in recovery menu to flash another ROM. I tried tricks with "adb shell su", but it`s not helped. I tried all the variant how to get in, how it`s said in FAQ, but it isn`t working for me WTF I`m doing wrong? Can I check is there recovery installed? Maybe "install.bat" is only saying, that it`s installed, but it`s not? )
Tried to flash from flashtool to ICS, rooted again, supersu again, installed recovery for ICS, adb shell su allowed, but it`s not getting in recovery It`s vibrating after I`m pushing volume down, LED at the start is blue, after this it`s green, and...phone restarts and going into normal mode ((((((
Can I install cyagenmode in another way, not with CWM?
heh, solved. Maybe it will be useful for someone...I was rooted my phone with towelroot, and few root checkers said, that device is rooted. Rooted again with DoomLord, and...It`s working now )

Hey guys.. Ummm.. I had a completely, perfectly, fine rooted Galaxy S. [I don't know if it's still rooted or not]
I'd installed Darky's ROM [5.6], and was gonna put in 6.0.
I decided to do a completely clean install for some reason [I don't know, I'm stupid.] and there's where I made the mistake. The phone got flashed n all through Odin, but now my 3 button combo doesn't work.
I searched for a fix, and it requires adb if I'm not wrong. Problem is, adb itself requires busybox and superuser. I don't have superuser in the phone [I suppose I can find it in the market, haven't checked.] but I was installing busybox, and it said that my phone's rooted but something's wrong [something about a nand or something] and that busybox can't be installed.
I want that ROM and I want my 3 button combo working again
Can someone please help?

Which ROM do you have now? If its Darkyy's, its pre-rooted, & has busybox.
Umm.. I don't think I know.
I just flashed the thing with this.. 'h t t p : // w w w. multiupload . com / XWDSKCPGTD' and the JM1 CSC file..
But it's certainly not Darky's..
Though I DID put in the 6.0 .zip file in the internal memory. Haven't installed it though [more like CAN'T install it ..]

Download Tuxility from the market. It has a Thread here in Dev too. You get options of normal shut down, reboot into recovery & into download.
Hope this helps.
I tried that
It doesn't start Force closes
Have you tried Quick Boot from the market?
Yep. I installed it, opened it, pressed Recovery.
Nothing happened
[in the description of the app, it said that root access is needed for it to work, and since the buttons weren't working, I think the phone's not rooted anymore]
I even pressed Download. Nothing happened there either
2.1 ROMs have a different way of entering into recovery & download. You press Vol up + menu + Pwr keys, & you get the splash screen, release the Pwr button for half a second & again keep it pressed till you go into recovery.
Otherwise, there is manual way of installing the superuser & busybox, you need to search the forum.
Umm.. It says it's 2.2
Still think I should try what you said?

For 2.2 you keep holding all the three buttons till the flash screen blanks & comes on, on the second blank screen, release the pwr button. If that doesn't work, try to do it at the third blank.
I pressed the menu and volume button simultaneously while the animation was going on, and I got this screen saying 'FORCED UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING' and a bunch of values on top [in red].
Apart from that, nothing

Up or down volume button? I always press the combination of buttons before the phone starts and wait till I see the download/recovery screen.
Power + up + home => Recovery.
Power + down + home => download.
By the way, this thread is in the wrong forum.

If you want to reflash a clean install but having problems getting to recovery or download, try the homemade jig. I used it when I thought my phone was dead and it worked fine.
Basically, once you have the jig, power off the phone (battery pull in ur case) and insert the jig in the socket. After 2-3 secs it should boot to download. Then you are free to flash with odin. At this stage I recommend repartition etc to ensure a fully clean install.

Try this workaround, it worked for me:
First, root it with z4root, just download it from the market. Then install Clockworkmod from market. From that program flash clockworkmod recovery. Now you can enter recovery from menu in Rom Manager. Once in recovery, there's an option somewhere to go into download mode - and you can flash whatever you want from there
reflash your phone by odin.
Well title pretty much says what my problem is. I know there are topics that are pretty similar to this one and I read them, tryed them all and I still cannot make recovery mode on my phone work. My best guess is that network from which i bought the phone locked that somehow?
Here's what I've tryed:
Recovery Mode:
With the phone powered off
Turn phone on, while holding power button and pressing back button as shown in video below (start at watching at 0:40)
/watch?v=kReGHJw0elo
I dont think this way (below) is a proper way of entering recovery mode. Anyways i've tryed it:

I used this method and resolved the problem. Thanks
Recovery Mode:
With the phone powered off
UnPlug the USB cable.
Turn the phone on it’s side and use both thumbs to hold (left thumb) Vol Up and (right thumb) Vol Down
Press and hold the power button with your right index finger til you see "Virbant" release the power button and it should be on the recovery screen.

Recovery doesn't come preinstalled with phone! You have to install it via flashtool!
First, you need to have root access.
Then,you can install a recovery, I´d recommend you to install Dual Mode Recovery (use the search button, because then you can have both recoveries.
After that, you can enter CWM recovery with touching the screen repeatedly while it´s showing you the white "Sony Ericsson" logo, and you can enter xrecovery by pressing any button repeatedly
Kernel
I have rooted my Xperia X8 and flashed kernel nAa on it, but I can't get in recovery mode no matter what I try..

press back button for few times to enter CWM Recovery in nAa's kernel.
note: you can't successfully flash kernel into your X8 when you only have rooted your device. you need to unlock bootloader! read these threads!

Use search before posting anything. X8 recovery has two or three types. Dual mode is to either tap the screen and back button. Most recovery is back button.

Hi,
After updating to 4.2.2 I rooted my Xperia by ibtimes.co.uk/articles/484784/20130630/xperia-z-root-android422-jellybean-locked-bootloader.htm manual. And after successful rooting and installing some root apps I decided to install CWM recovery to backup my system. I installed the recovery following androidteen.com/sony-xperia-z-install-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery-with-locked-bootloader manual. Everything went nice and smooth and I entered the recovery mode (by pressing Vol Up while LED was green during booting) and made a backup (btw is that a nandroid backup?). The problem is that I can enter the recovery only once after "flashing" the phone with CWM. Any combination of volume keys, power key or LED will not let me enter it again later. Can anyone guide me how to enter to recovery mode anytime or fix this problem so I can use my backup if needed?
Thank you in advance!

Hey, i use to have this issue with the Z so i just installed this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606 that should always let u into recovery, when the phone vibrates and the led goes green hold up. Yeah a backup is a nandroid backup. If you cant get that to work ill try help out further.
When exiting recovery did you answer the question with 'yes'? If so that's the problem. You have to answer no or have to flash a patch by doomlord.

There is no question when I exit recovery. The only option to exit recovery is reboot now (atleast I guess). What patch are you talking about? Could you provide me some link pls.
Well the dualboot is definitely last resort but I would rather fix this CWM issue :/
Yeah this happened to me also, you need to use the dual recovery instead

I don't see the point of a dual recovery. That recovery itself already contains CWM and add TWRP. What would I need 2 recoveries? There should be a way how to make CWM work somehow. Hmmm :/

Nobody seems to be maintaining the older releases of the recoveries for locked bootloaders. This is a known issue with them on 4.2.2 firmwares.
Just install the dual recovery and use only CWM recovery. You will literally notice no difference.

so... I installed XZ Dual Recovery AND the zip file.... Flashed the Honami port (eXistenZ Ultra V1) and flashed the Dual recovery at the same time ( just as it says to do)
Now i can enter TWRP no problem, but when i push volume up it just sends the LED purple, and stays on the sony logo...
any one else having this problem???

Hello all,
I've "inherited" my brother's Xperia SP. I've rooted it before, so now that I "own" it I've decided to flash a custom rom on it. When I flashed the rom and gapps, tried to restart, now it won't boot. I flashed using TWRP. Not bootloader is not unlocked, and neither can it be unlocked.
It doesn't even want to charge, I plug it in, but it is not reacting at all.
When I press the off button at the back, and the press the power button, I get a soft quick vibrate and then nothing happens. I go press and hold on the off button again, and try power + vol down. I get the middle notification light to flash green quick and then disappears. Nothing happens.
Help? I followed and read up instructions to install the ROM. I was on the 4.3 stock before flashing.
How I flashed: went to TWRP, factory reset, wipe system, install rom, install gapps, restart. Did I screw up somewhere? I feel like I might have, but I didn't think it would get bricked when I have a locked bootloader. Any insight to what might have happened, at least? Thanks.

I don't remember the thread, but the file name is this one: Slim-huashan-5.1.1.beta.0.12-UNOFFICIAL-20151119-1622.zip
Now that I go through the stuff, I see what you mean that witha locked bootloader I can only flash a limited selection of roms... What bugs me is that the phone isn't even starting up. Not charging. PC can't see it either.
When I turn on, just a soft vibrate and then nothing. I press the off button at the back, and then press and hold vol down + power, the middle green led flashes once, and then nothing. If I connect to charger and hold the off button, it vibrates three times and then nothing. I try again, it vibrates two times. I don't get it. :S
I feel like I screwed up big time. (won't be the first time) but I'm curious is this is really dead or is there something I can still do about it.
It's a softbrick. You need to find an official firmware for your SP and flash it flashtool. You can look on the forum for guides for this.

hello all friends.
I have a hard brick in my Z3c ... rather than install a full rom, I installed an update to 135 MB, and had given full wipe the system the device simply does not care anymore.
FlashTool does not work, already tried everything and it will not.
Error of drivers but they are installed all the drivers ... ok.
I TWRP on the device but can not access it for flashing back up what I had done.
Simply do not have access into the Z3c ...
Some logical solution to this problem ??
Grateful to all the friends who can help.

Nope, it's just a soft-brick
Press power + vol.up until it vibrates 3 times.
