[Q] Cannot Boot Into Recovery - Samsung Galaxy Mini

I cannot boot the device into Recovery mode. If I attempt to the device stays on the Samsung boot screen. Since I have gotten the device all I have done is rooted the device and it is running android version 2.2
When I put the device into download mode it is not recognised by my computer (tried using Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 build 9926) and Odin (v4.38) does not register that the device has been plugged in. In Device Manager I get Unknown USB Device (Device failed Enumeration). Re-installing drivers and the device does nothing to fix this.
Any assistance with this issue would be welcomed.
~Edit - The device is not booting at all now. It is stick on the Samsung Boot Screen.
~Edit - For some reason putting the device into Download Mode then plugging it into a my laptop and allowing Windows Update to find the drivers worked and allowed ODIN v4.38 to detect the device.
Then by following this guide I was able to flash CWM to my device. After doing this I was able to boot the device normally and I was able to boot it into the custom recovery.

The best way to boot to recovery in case you aren't able to.
The best way to boot to recovery in case you aren't able to is using ADB. Use the command adb reboot recovery and for sure you will either know what the exact problem is, or will be taken to recovery.

[Q] Stuck on boot screen... how to use recovery mode?

My I9000 is stuck on the boot screen, after trying to install EZbase (was stock eclair). Odin/heimdall don't see the phone in download mode. I CAN get into recovery mode.. i have Clockwokmod recovery 2.5.1.0 speedmod ULFK on there. I have tried a factory reset, but this didn't help.
So what do i do here?
I am under the impression i need to flash with an update.zip; but i don't have a clue what should be my update.zip.
Sorry if this has been asked many times, but i searched and have read many threads and got nowhere.
ok well download the android SDK tools and isntall all the USB drivers. Unplug your USB cable and change the port from the one you are using, boot your phone into download mode, once in download mode fire up ODIN v 1.7 and plug your phone in, it should find it in odin, once you can see it in odin you should be able to continue flashing EZbase and then onto Cyanogen if that is what you were trying to do
Once you get odin to recognize your phone in download mode you need to flash a Kernel/Rom

do you mean Android SDK Starter Package? Or?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
This is what i downloaded; what do i do now? Do i have to run SDK Manager.exe and install java (i would like to avoid this, if i can)??
Thanks for your help.
ya unfortunately you have to install java. so maybe your phone isn't being recognized because your doing it in the wrong order....try this before you install anything, unplug the phone, boot into download mode, fire up odin then plug the phone in. you should see it on some com port on the top left
Ok; Java installed, ran SDK Manager and added Google USB Driver for Windows, Revision 4. [ as developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html ], which is in \android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver
The directions provided by google (url above) suggest plugging the phone in first. This installed the samsung drivers automatically, however.
Odin3 1.7 now showed a port; but the flash stalled at 'SetupConnection..'
I tried using 'update driver' via Device Manager, but all that i see is;
Modems -> SAMSUNG Mobile Modem
Universal Serial Bus controllers -> SAMSUNG USB Composite Device
Neither would update with the drivers in \android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver
[Also, Yes, I am opening odin and booting in download mode before connecting the USB cable]
Ok try flashing just a kernel go to the Dev section and find a kernel from hardcore it is called speedmod kernel. That should flash in 20 seconds or so. Flash the froyo one he has one for gingerbread so don't use that one they are separate threads so its easy to tell which is which
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
..now if i try to turn the phone on it shows a phone and a PC with a /!\ warning symbol between them, and i can't boot in to recovery mode. I CAN boot into download mode, and the PC makes a noise to acknowledge something has been connected, but Odin doesn't see it.
EDIT: I reinstalled Keis, and selected 'install drivers' on the menu from within the app.. this meant Odin was able to see the phone and i have sucessfully (apparently) updated the kernel to speedmod froyo. The phone is back to the 'Galaxy S' screen again. Now what? How long should the phone take to boot if it is sucessful (ie. how long should i wait before restarting?)
EDIT 2: Ahh, EZbase flash worked too! .. thank F, a working phone!
So i guess the key was to get the drivers (again) from the submenu in the Keis App NOT the android SDK.
Glad it worked out, sorry it took so long to reply, ya after you get a kernel on there then you need to flash a rom again, which is exactly what you did later

[Q] My phone halfway bricked. Cannot boot and recovery.

I have tried to flash a rom (Android Revolution HD 53.0) for my One. And after I finished flashing, it asked me if I would like to fix root. I pressed yes.
Then the phone go stuck between the boot screen and the recovery screen. It cannot enter the recovery mode (It got a flash of the clockworkmod, but it seems likes some error occurs). And now, I put my phone into Fastboot mode and plug it to my computer. The phone has turned "FASTBOOT USB" but when a use a fastboot command, it says "waiting for device" for a century...
And when my open up the "device manager" on my computer, it can recongnize "my HTC" but it's marked as an unrecongnized device.
I'm using Windows 8.1 on the Lenovo y510p, I think the Win 8.1 is the problem causing this...
I have tried to install the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver as mentioned here, but my USB then goes out of function.
Also, the fastboot won't work even though I manually install the HTC Driver from the device manager.
I have got HTC Sync, ADB and fastboot all installed on the computer. Still got no luck.
Anyway to solve this?

What is your bootloader version? What recovery are you using and what version?
in the meantime I suggest you to use Windows 7 or boot a live ubuntu 12.04 32 bits version cd or bootable flash drive and use fastboot from there.

[Q] Stuck after flashing with Semaphore

I have samsung galaxy S GT-I9000 and Android 2.1.
I was trying to install CMD 10 and as a preparation to install CMD recovery I flashed Semaphore_2.7.4 with ODIN.
Since then, my phone has been going in reboot loop as soon as samsung logo comes. I am able to access Download mode but not the recovery mode (shows error "Forced upload by Key Pressing"). I've tried flashing using Heimdall but it gives me libusb error (tried everything from uninstalling samsung drivers, changing usb port, changing usb chord)
How can I install CMD 9/10 despite the fact that I only can use download mode?
Can anyone help me here?

have you tried to connect via odin & flash stock rom? which custom rom were you trying to install, have you installed other custom roms before?

[HELP] Samsung Galaxy S Plus (GT-I9001) won't boot into Cyanogenmod or Recovery

Hello Community,
The last days I've tried to renew my Samsung Galaxy S Plus for a friend.
I realized that the phone stuck into bootloop.
The phone boots up the Samsung Logo then it starts to load Cyanogenmod but fail and goes into TWRP boot screen.
But the TWRP boot logo always bootloops and won't start.
I want to fix the phone now and could enter:
DOWNLOAD MODE
RAWDUMP MODE
The next problem when I connect the phone to my PC, with Download mode the message appear: "usb device not recognized"
I have also installed KIES from this Page: "http://www.samsung.com/de/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/" it is for Devices until 4.2.2
I tried some things from this page: "https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307292"
When I open Odin and select start, after adding every file it says that "A Phone isn't connected"
I want to unbrick the device and dont know how :/ re there any other solutions or did I something wrong?
INFORMATIONS:
I am using a PS4 cable to connect the phone it's the same as any other and I don't have another cable.
I am on Windows 10 64bit.
On the Device is CM installed but wrong and I dont know which one cause it wont boot into it.
I've installed TWRP Recovery but it's broken like I said.
