[Q] 3 Button Recovery. What am I missing?

Hey all.
I've finally decided to give the new 2.2.1 firmware a shot, but I want to make sure I've backed up everything properly first.
The problem is, every guide I've been reading says to get the 3 button fix set up, then backup everything from there. I can get into the recovery menu (and download mode), but I can't see anything to do with backing up that I've been led to believe should be there. Should there be anything there or am on the wrong track completely?
At the moment I get:
"Android system recovery <3e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -"
The only options are:
* reboot system now
* apply sdcard:update.zip
* wipe data/factory reset
* wipe cache partition
* format internal sd-card
Sorry if this has been covered before, but following various guides gets me here, then I'm lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

yeah the option to make a backup is only available in clockwork mod. or 2e recovery
but just backup your stuff using a back up tool from the market, there a lots of good ones ( titanium backup is my favourite but it requires root )

3 button download mode is a way of recovering from a bricked phone .
No download mode = no recovery possible .

[Q] Clean fresh Install OS - Required

Hi..
I was trying to upgrade my samsung galaxy s plus (GT-19001) device to Android 4.0.4.
i just installed CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 on my device by rebooting and selecting (install zip from sd card).
------using mentioned combination of keys -------
Then i placed the files in my phone's internal SD Card.
files are mentioned below:
1-> cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip
2-> gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
3-> recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-ariesve.zip
then install 1 by choosing from internal SD card and then 2nd file.
my device prompted completion success messages but it took very short time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now what happened after doing this. my device is displaying same booting screen of CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 on each re-boot.
i treid many times by unplug the battrey but unfortunately unsuccessfull.
After that i did Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried it through window's based utility Odin v4.43 but it could detect my device usb driver even after success of USB driver installation.
it didn't display Added in message box.
now what should i do ?
i already installed samsung Kies but still undetected.
I tried some old version of Odin 3v1.8 , it detected the port and displayed Added but failed to write ROM on my device.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My desktop machine's OS : windows 8 64 bit enterprise edition.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am unable to install new ofor revert back my OS because when i Hold Vol Down + Home + Power, This is not putting me in Download Mode instead Ramdump Mode.
I need your guidence to resolve the issue. Thanks in advance.
Please ask for further details if required.

I'm not sure I got exactly what you did.
1) You installed CWM recovery.
2) You rebooted into recovery.
3) You installed the CM ROM zip.
4) You installed the GApps zip.
5) You rebooted.
Am I right ? And now you only get access to the recovery ?
If you're coming from a GingerBread ROM, this is normal. Simply, re-install the ROM again (and the GApps obviously). If it doesn't work, tell us.

Hi Einril.
I try to summarize in some chunks for better understanding.
=======================================================================================
Hi.
I just started with CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 and placed all above mentioned files/packages into the device internal SD card.
That's what i did :
1). Entered into the recovery mode menu by holding down Volume Up + Power and installed CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 zip from the selection of Internal SD Card .
2). After reboot, i came up again in Recovery mode using CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 application.
3). Now installed cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip by the navigation of "Install zip from SD".
It took hardly 4 to 5 seconds and displayed a message that it completes . no flash screen or anything came up and reboot.
4). After that installed gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip by the navigation of "Install zip from SD".
It displayed same complete message but within 5 to 8 seconds i think.
5). I Wipe data/cache/Dalvik cache after above step and then again repeat the process.
After that i did Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
Now when i try to start my device then each time it comes into the CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4' s recovery mode.
Ask further please if anything is unclear, i have tried too many things with it but yet not soft bricked.
I am able to switch into Download mode.

Did you try to re-install the ROM from the recovery ? (flash cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip again)

Hi Erinil,
I think i installed but not sure.
Could you elaborate the re-install ROM steps ?
I tried but same recovery display of CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4, comes again and stay on recovery mode screen.
How my OS will be started?
It might be possible , i am doing something wrong.
Could you enlist the steps?

Ok.
1) Boot into recovery.
2) Wipe data/Factory reset.
3) Wipe cache.
4) Go to Advanced, then wipe Dalvik cache.
5) Go back, go to Mount & Storage, then Format System.
6) Go back, go to Install zip from SD Card => Choose zip from SD Card => cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip.
7) Do the same thing for the gapps zip.
8) Wipe data/Factory reset again (just to be sure).
9) Reboot.
This, I think, is the cleanest install you can do. Tell me the result.

Einril I tried it same as you explained in steps.
It didn't worked nor display any error during this process.
I think my problem is that. when i start my device it automatically entered into the recovery mode of CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4..
whether i hold Vol+ and Powerbutton or not, it entered into the recovery mode each reboot.
It might be possible that OS has been installed sucessfull but how the OS will be started now?

Hum, that's strange. You say you can access to Download Mode ? Are you able to flash back the Samsung stock ROM ?

Hi Einril,
What does that mean? Means that Reverting to Gingerbread through Desktop Window OS?
I am unable to revert from my One Laptop (i7 3610 & WIndow 8 - 64 bit) but i am able to revert from my OLD laptop (OS is : window 7 32 bit)

Ok, I heard that some people are having issues with USB drivers on Windows 8. But if you can restore Gingerbread with your old computer, this is great.
Can you try to re-install a stock gingerbread firmware, with re-partition enabled, and then to try again the procedure I gave you ? This way, we are sure that your previous attempts have no effects on the result.

Einril, I have installed stock gingerbread firmware on my device and it is working now.
now guide please how to re-partition? Do you mean using CWM recovery ?
Could you simply enlist the thing which i will have to do now on fresh gingerbread OS?
I 'll tell you today night because right now i am not at home.

Well, if your gingerbread frmware is working, you don't need to repartition.
Now, simply re-install ClockworkMod Recovery, and re-do the whole installation process I gave you. By the way, you said you installed ClockworkMod recovery by flashing a zip in recovery. Isn't it supposed to be a .tar.md5 to flash via Odin ?

Yes i installed ClockworkMode Recovery from recovery mode.
I haven't tried with .tar.md5 using Odin4.43.
I 'll try with both throught Clockworkmode and Odin.
In fact i have tried many time 2-3 months ago too through TeamWin Recovery . problem was same.
It didn't start my OS instead displaying its recovery screen and operations.

i tried but all in vain.
Couldn;t be successful.
it just start from CWM recovery mode and so. not switching into the other mode.

[Q] Bricked Phone? Can't Load Recovery

This is my bro's old phone, and he said it's rooted and it has CWM installed.
1. I wanted to install a new rom so I put the zip file in an SD card.
2. There's a Recovery mode option when you want to restart the phone
3. I wiped the cache and data/partition.
4. I tried searching for the zip file, but I couldn't find it.
5. So I turned off the phone and relocated the zip file to the root of the sd drive.
Now! I'm trying to load into recovery, but I can't.
Is it bricked????
I plugged it on the pc and it made a sound that detected the device.
Btw, I'm a total amateur at programming/rooting, so all the help in the simplest form would be very appreciated.
Please help, the phone is still good and I don't want it to go to waste. I wanna start using it! Any help is appreciated (including reference links to other posts/threads)

to come into recovery mode, pull your battery out and then in again. then hold volume up, home button and power on all together....hold them all 3 till Samsung S logo is gone or till Kernel logo appears, the you can led the power button free but hold the other 2 till you will be in recovery mode again.
In CWM do not search or tick for the update zip. Go over: install zip from internal sd card and then phone should show you the files which are included there. Hopefully device will show you the rom.zip you want to flash there too.
If not, then i recommend to search here in the forum, and take you some to read and inform you about next steps....here are some links for first and further informations:

I. Bootloader unlocking
We will start our journey in a beautiful world modified by android with unlocking the bootloader.
What is it?
Bootloader is something like BIOS from computers but in the phone. It let you to boot many software, like recovery. We can't boot directly into recovery without unlocked bootloader because phone has got some closed startup procedure (like POST test in computers). To break it, we must unlock bootloader.
So how to do that?
We must:
1. Download RAR file and you'll get 2 folders namely unlock and ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows
2. Install the drivers according to your OS and go the unlock folder
3. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode by pressing volume up + power on at the same time.
4. Connect it to pc and open unlock.bat in unlock folder
5. Bootloader successfully unlocked.
II. Install TWRP
After unlocking bootloader, we need some recovery to install custom software on our beast.
To do that:
1. Download this TWRP (F2FS support) and place it into unlock folder
2. Reboot into fastboot
3. Connect the phone into PC
4. In unlock folder, run cmd and type "fastboot devices". You should see some device plugged into your PC.
5. Type "fastboot flash recovery XXX.img" when XXX means the name of recovery.
6. When installing process finish, press volume down + power as long as you doesn't see fastboot warning.
7. Phone will get into TWRP.
To get into TWRP just presss volume down + power until you doesn'ts see fastboot warning.
III. Decrypt enrypted data
1. Download the decrypt.zip and copy to SDcard
2. Flash in recovery
3. Format /data
4. Reboot
IV. Flashing custom ROMs
Now the main aim of customization: CUSTOM ROM <3 It let you to do many modifications like style of font in system, theme, newer version of software and many many more.
Just:
1. Copy all your necessary software into SD card
2. Boot your device into TWRP
3. Go to "install", pick firmware which you need and swipe to flash
4. Repeat step 3 with gapps
5. Reboot to system
When you want to install some kernel or NXP or magisk or something else, don't do that after flashing system. Before, flash firmware, system and gapps, reboot and configure. Then go to TWRP and flash 3rd party mods.
V. Unlocking Camera2API
To get GCAM work property, we need to unlock camera2api. If you don't know what's that, go there -> https://www.thegeeksclub.com/camera-2-api-check-smartphone-support/
1. Power off the phone and enter fastboot mode.
2. Fire up fastboot terminal and connect your phone to the pc, enable USB debugging mode from dev. options too.
3. Run the command: fastboot oem enable_camera_hal3 true
4. Type: fastboot reboot
VI. Magisk
Just to get root permissions. If you don't know what it is, go there -> https://www.xda-developers.com/what-is-magisk/
1. Go to TWRP and flash this file
2. Reboot to system
3. Install .apk

Does this twrp can be flashed successful on .340 and pie?
Do we need different versions of twrp to flash on different android version like .239 .240 and pie?

Every NKOTB is desperate to post his/her/it's thread / YouTube video for such guide/s, quoting stuff from other's posts / threads and sharing their hard work, without the basic decency to quote and credit the original thread / guy who posted in the first place. Please do so or this thread will be reported for plagiarism.
