[Q] Recovery & Download Button Combo?

I did a search but couldn't find anything. Are there any button combos to boot into download mode or recovery mode or is ADB my only option?. I tried what worked on the GS2 but not luck.

Depending on the rom, it should be volume down + power. Hold both until the samsung logo flashes then comes back the 2nd time and let go of power, keep holding volume down and it should boot into recovery. You can also try alternating with volume up + home button + power, same method as above.

Unable to boot into cwm recovery...

Hi,
I've rooted my phone and flashed CF CWM into my phone. I'm able to enter CWM recovery via the CF CWM manager app, however when I tried to enter into recovery via the physical keys (powered down the phone, so press and hold vol down + home key while powering up), my phone just starts up normally and never entered recovery.
Anyone knows what happened?
Thanks.

First, the three button combination for CWM is Volume up + Home + Power.
Volume down is the download mode.
Are you able to get into CWM when not shutting down the phone?
Just hold Volume up + Home + Power for about 10 sec and hold the buttons until you see the Galaxy Note screen.

its working now, i pressed the wrong button combinations LOL.
Thanks for your help

S5830i - works normally but cant get any mode (download or recovery)

Hi!
I've tried all of metods, home + power, volup voldown + home + power, any combination of them. All I get is samsung la fleur logo blinks for 2 secs, turn off for sec and just boot normally. Any idea to get recovery mode?
EDIT: looks like vol buttons doesnt working, but why I cant get recovery mode?

Connect via odin to see whether it recognizes it while in download mode.Sometimes your phone goes into download mode but the screen doesnt appear..press vol up+down+power for 6 secs and then press vol up.Should be good to go after flashing a stock rom.

Here the right guidance:
Download Mode: The Middle of the Volume Button (IMPORTANT!!!) and On/Off Button.
The S5830i has a special Button sequence.
Recovery Mode: Volume up + Home Button + On/Off Button (hold this 3 Buttons till you see the Bootscreen for a second time)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Recovery mode = Vol Up + HOME + Power button.
2. Download mode = Vol Up + Vol Down + Power button.
If your vol buttons doesnt working, that mean you cant get to both mode because both combination require vol buttons.

It can be also that ur phone is going into download mode..bt u cannot see..(happened with many)
Press the button required to go in downld mode and connect to pc..
And c if odin is recozing ur cell

how to boot to recovery?

Hi! I just flashed blissrom 12.x. I'm coming from latest stock rom. Once I flash the rom, I can't go to twrp with button combination.
I tried power button+volume up button once mi logo appears,release the power button. After that it just shows the boot animation and boots to system.

By three combination keys, Vol. Up + Vol. Down + Power.

M31 recovery mode

Hello,
I recently updated my M31 and wanted to clear cache, but I'm not able to access recovery mode.
I tried (vol up+power) and released power while holding vol up when samsung + android logo appears but after some second phone vibrates and shows a samsung only logo and it starts.
What am I doing wrong, I tried enabling the OEM unlocking option from developer option but still no luck.
My samsung m31 is in stock (one ui 3.0/android 11) & not rooted.

Hi
Connect your phone to a computer then try to reboot it with key vol down +power pressed for 10 seconds, when the screen goes out, revert to volume up key+ power, release the power key when the samsung logo appears but maintain the vol up key pressed until the recovery pops up.
