Try holding the power button and the volume up button at the same time...hold both until recovery starts.

It was volume up and those two buttons. But when i go to install update from sd card and select it, it won't install it.

for galaxy mini to enter recovery mode press & hold power+home....to enter download mode press & hold power+volume down+home..
i dont know what mini version you are

1. Switch off ur phone
2. Press the power + center button at the same time.
3. You will boot into recovery after a few seseconds
4. If u press vlo down + power + center buttons, u go into download mode not recovery.

gingerbread 2.3.6 is your android version...when i said mini version,i mean mini model..sory
and i think you r still in stock rom so please go here to root your phone..the tutorial seem perfect to me...you'll know ur phone model & how to enter recovery then root ur phone....maybe that'll help..
Entering recovery mode on Ace GT-S5830i, Xcover, Young, Y-Duos, Y-Pro, Y-Pro Duos, M-Pro (Volume up Button) + (Home Button) + (Power button)....so you are not on Mini

I did everything that the post said and it's still not rooted. It said install sucessful, but there is no superuser, and when i go to rom manager it says i have to root it. it was strange to me too, but even in settings it's GT-S5570I.

Thank you. Power + home (center) button solved it - I managed to access the recovery menu.:victory:

Home + Power worked for me.

galaxy y uses a different button combo..
i think u need to press vol up + power + home buttons to access recovery when the phone is switched off..
or if are rooted, install quick reboot app from playstore and go into recovery with a simple click.

I'm pretty sure it does, although I only did something similar on an Android device! On that I had to give the phone a command via the cmd.exe in Windows.

[Q] Stuck at Running bug_fix1 tool...

HTC unlocked bootloader and CWM 6.0.3.1
I went to check AT&T update and accidentally selected install update. My phone rebooted 5 minutes later and it's stuck on "Running bug_fix1 tool..."
I can't figure out how to force it to reboot.

If it's a custom recovery it shouldn't even try to install...and watch out doing otas without s off...something could go very wrong

Holding power with volume down, volume up, etc. The back and home buttons flash but nothing happens.

The very same thing happened to me today, holding down both power and volume down button does force the phone to reboot, try count the number of flashes back and home make, let go both power and down after counting to 10 or 12, then you should see a black screen and phone reboot. I kept both button pressed for 1 min but nothing happened, so I thought timing may help.

Try holding power and volume down together with the phone under a bright light. Don't know if you've read about it or not but it seems to be a fix for most people that can't reboot. Hold them until something happens.

Help soft brick!

Hello
I flashed the recovery and after that relock bootloder
I made a mistake in choosing a recovery
The phone stays on the boot screen ! (Tries to reset Factory)
Fastboot Not Work ! (Does not enter)
vol+ and vol- Not work (Does not enter)
My phone is brick
Sory.My english is not good

When your phone is turned off, just hold vol- and power.
It will boot into bootloader mode now and you will be able to flash the correct recovery.

Hey bro, i guess you know me You need to hold Power button for 10 seconds, when screen will be black, hold Vol - and then insert your usb charger in the phone, you will be transfered to fastboot mode, and then you will be able to flash recovery aswell.

And yeah, when you will be on Marshmallow fw, flash latest TWRP from twrp.me for Honor 5C, and then flash Elite ROM 2.0, it's stable and the best variant of all custom firmwares and ota's

Bro, hold power button for a long time, whenever the screen will be black, hold volume - a lot and then after less then second insert usb charger(usb has to be in computer or laptop), and then unlock your bootloader again bro.

You dont need to hold power button, just turn it off, hold volume down, and then less then second insert the usb cable but dont lay off the volume button untill the fastboot mode will show up.

Stuck on bootloop

Hi,
I have got a huge problem: got bootloop after flashing Havoc OS because I forgot to instal bootloop fix. But it's not the worse. I have broken volume up button so I cant go to recovery by power+volume up, and, I dont know why, after pressing power+volume down, my phone turn off and I cant even go to fastboot.
Any ideas what can I do?

Please try to press the power button for at least 10 seconds to force reboot the phone, when the MI logo shows up, press power+volume down and enter fastboot. Then connect to computer and reboot to recovery via ADB.

I did that, but the fastbot screen doesn't show up. It was like that because I had Darkness Kernel and it show always darkness theme instead of f.e. fastbot screen. But thanks for answer @andoidZhao.
Problem already solved. Thread's dead :]

Same happened with me..... my vol down button is not working.. when press vol up + power it isn't go to twrp..... Any method to flash rom while phone switch off??
