[Q] About the recovery mode - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys! I come from china . this is my first post in this place and my English is very poor.
I have a phone called S3 mini, and I do not know how to enter the recovery mode by combination of buttons
I tried to download from official servers some packages , and use them with Odin ...but the phone is still at the main screen " Samsung Galaxy S III Mini GT-I8190
I'm going to collapse
Could anyone help me ?

Put your phone in USB Debugging mode and send this command via ADB:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Or, install Terminal Emulator on your phone and write:
Code:
reboot recovery
Here's where I got the info from: [GUIDE] Root for Galaxy S III Mini I8190.

According to FAQ on Samsung official web key combination to access recovery mode should be home+power (without vol up). Not tested!

recovery key combination not working for the moment on a s3 mini.
Instead flash with the "param" in odin found in this thread and it should boot up
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987976&page=4

Strange. Somehow it is still not clear if this is a bug or a feature..

You can try a wipe data in recovery, if it works (power button +volume up + home when the phone is off)
Okay do what the guy above said,
1. Get into Recovery Mode(Volume up + Power Button)
2. Wipe data and cache
Please reply if anything happens.

I do have exactly the same problems on my deodexed version. And until now no clue why. So let's see if another member finds or knows a solution.
this is what i found on for ICS on a similar issue
"- Download "Terminal Emulator" app from market
- open it
- type into the command:
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync
Go to home, force close your terminal app, shut your screen off, and when your turn it back on your lock screen should be there."

ok sorry... I dont have this problem on JB but long back on ICS i had and this resolved it.. If i were you i would try to go back to ICS, then check the lock screen.. if still no .. then try this method.. check if its working .. if yes upgrade to JB.. if no.. sorry for the long useless method..
This has worked for me in the past with ICS..

JB does not start. Hangs at the boot screen
Hi folks,
After I installed the official JB (from fantastic Eybee) the system announces sometime to check for software updates. If you allows that, after a short time you get the message that the system has been changed. And then the system restarts and remains at the boot screen stand. This happened to me 3 times. After that only helps a full wipe to Android running again.
I also get the message that the system has been modified but phone does not reboot. May be you need to clean install the rom again.

I solved my problems in my new version 1.3.
In XXLSA and XXLSC I do not have these problem (leaks and dumps). In official ICS or JB I do have the problems - but now solved with a workaround in my own Custom Rom (android.policy.jar).
Any idea how to fix with stock jb 4.1.2

AW: Problem on official jb
No. Not really. Because you need at least root for trying a workaround.
Switch to a deodexed Rom.

Eybee uses android.policy.jar from XXLSZ, try my Custom Rom (with the android.policy.jar from XXLSC) and check if you have lockscreens with this one (until now no 4-way-reboot, because I didn't implement it yesterday).

My Friend's Galaxy Ace volume button

Hi, I have a query.
My friend's volume buttons do not work. Is there any other way to root without recovery or a touch recovery?
Thanks.

Hi iDelta, if your friend's phone is an S5830 (without more letters or S5830D/B/L/T) the way to the recovery is of just two buttons [Home(center bottom) +Power(left side up)] at the same time . So, you won't need the volume button.
Edited: As the volume key is needed for navigate the menus, I recommend PX recovery
If not, you're in the wrong section. Good luck.

Try px recovery. It has soft buttons on screen to navigate in recovery menu but it supports only Rom with ext4 format.

I went to see the threadx which says it needs to be flashed via recovery. Now, I find no point in flashing a recovery that requires the stock recovery to be flashed and your volume buttons don't work... anyway, I have already given my friend the red flag for rooting. Thanks for your help anyway.

@op : You are optionless now. You can't use volume buttons to flash a custom recovery via the stock one. There's a way to flash cwm via odin but again you won't be able to use it later on because it again needs the damn volume buttons. And on the other hand, no one has devised a way to flash px recovery via odin. You have two options left. Either be on stock or get your phone fixed.

"Simulate secondary displays" gives a bootloop for all of us. To fix it, goto safe mode (hold vol up, vol down while turning on)
and uncheck it.
