My phone is fine but cant put it into recovery - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hello everyone,
Since I updated the CMW to the touch version I cant put on my phone into recovery mode. when I restart my phone and hold on the the up and down volume buttons with the power button, my phone keeps vibrating without booting into recovery mode. I tried to downgrade to the previous version of CWM with no success.

Did you try releasing the power button after the first vibration?
I like my Roms the way I like my women..... Clean and smooth

did you try rom manager?

Try actually going into the app from your app drawer and choosing reboot into recovery from there.. Generally you hold vol up + vol down and then hold power all together at the same time until you see the samsung logo pop up, then instantly release all. That should do it.
Good luck hope this helped.

No recovery mode?

When I try to start my phone in recovery mode it stalls with the screen and samsung galaxy s on the screen.
Download mode works fine, but it hasn't stalled on recovery screen before. I have rooted the device, do I need to install anything additional?
What is the solution? to factory reset the device? reflash?
to enter recovery mode

you have to briefly let go of the power button and immediately hold back the power button
when you are doing the 3 button combo to go into the recovery screen

Can't enter ODIN dl mode

I have a galaxy s2 and I cannot get the phone into ODIN download mode. When I plug in the USB, while holding the down and up volume button it goes into recovery mode A3 but no DL mode. I can't get a USB connection to the computer for the phone to be recognized so I was trying to get into ODIN DL mode to see if I can get a connection this way but no luck

Are you trying to recover from a bad flash? Did you already root your phone? Did your try to wipe cache/factory reset from recovery? Is your phone unable to boot?
No
I've never flashed the phone before, it's not rooted and there is only the built in recovery mode. I have factory reset once but its when I first got the phone.

Did you try turning off your phone, pulling out the battery for a couple of seconds and then, press power + vol(+) + vol(-) and release the power button when it vibrates once?
Yep

Basically, with the SGH-T989D, pressing both volumes buttons at the same time while loading will bring you to the recovery, but it's not supposed to be the same with the SGH-T989... Did you tried booting while holding only 1 volume button, bottom or upper?

1-use ODIN to flash cwm (clockwork mod) & root your phone First
2-after that u flash any custom ROM while in cwm.
How:
1- your pc has to have samsung usb drivers (one way to do that is to downlaod samsung Kies)
download to your pc these files:
“recovery-cmw-hercules.tar”
CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip
get them from here http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/how-to-root-icsgb-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/
Now, to put phone in download mode: Turn phone off- take battery out Then put it back in- hold vol+/- down & plug usb cable in phone
screen will come on- move vol up -----> u in download mode. (at this stage only usb cable or you following steps can make this not work)
Start ODIN........u can see the rest from link above.
After phone is rooted and has cwm installed Now u can copy any ROM to scdard and flash it through cwm.
to put phone in cwm (recovery) same as above except Hold vol+/- & power button (no USB cable) samsung will show up on screen Let go of power button and keep holding vol+/- ----> now u are in recovery ....install your rom + gapps and reboot
Two importand thinhs: after rooting and installing cwm ------back up your current rom & make sure make sure you flash ROMS for your device (Hercules) only ....u flash a rom/kernel for another device YOU WILL brick your phone,
after the first time....its super easy
Hit thanks

Pull the battery, plug the cable into the phone, Hold the up and down rockers, put the battery back into the phone and power it on while holding the rockers. A yellow screen with a warning will come up. Pressing the Up rocker will get to DL mode. Pressing down will reboot the phone. But unless your phone is connected to the computer/power, DL mode is difficult to get to. Hope that helps
when do you put the battery back in?

When powering up the device, hold down the volume and power buttons. When you get to the bootloader screen, use vol keys to enter recovery mode. Then restore in twrp as per usual.
Alternatively, if you have an app like Rom Toolbox Pro and still have root on the CMB rom....just reboot recovery.
Cheers!

There is help, how to enter Recovery mode:
Simultaneously press and hold the power and volume down buttons.
When the LG logo shows up, release the power button only.
Now press and hold the power and volume up button while keeping your hold on the volume down button.
When the factory reset screen appears, release your hold on all buttons.
Press the power button to continue.
Press the power button again to confirm if you’re sure you wish to continue with the reset.(NOTE if you are the newest TWRP recovery it should not wipe but if you are on the old version everything will be erased!)

Can't boot into Recovery?! [SOLVED]

Right out of the RetailBox (with stockRom) I couldn't reboot into recovery using the "VolumeUp+Home+PowerButton" step...
Even now after installing a custom rom and twrp recovery I can't do the hardbutton action ("VolumeUp+Home+PowerButton") to get into the "recovery"
so whats the hiccup here? someone plz
thx

I just flashed a root... and then downloaded twrp through playstore and always rebooted with Newstart chosing reboot into recovery.... so it was fine till now..
now though, after installing IronRom .zip through twrp, it won't reboot anymore, it is stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy Tab S powered by android" starting screen.
Now I want to simply to the hardbutton reboot into recovery step, since i cant access it otherwise... but it doesn't react.
so whats the hiccup here?
thx

I would also like to know this, I recently installed the PAC-MAN (unofficial) rom and things went weird. I tried to flash official Samsung ROM through Odin, things went well but got stuck in Samsung booting logo (not the one that says powered by Samsung). The logo that comes after the Samsung jingle.

So there is no way to get the HardButton way to work?
(My customRom already has multiple shutdown and restart option... thats how i've been operating.)
But once one is stuck somewhere and can't get to the system level (like boot loop or whatnot) it would be great to enter the recovery anyway... thx

You can enter recovery any time you want, you just need to do it right.
Hold POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN until the screen goes blank then immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons until recovery boots.

Holy Damn... thanks a lot!!!! that was really bugging me. I never found anything apart from just holding home+power+volumeup
I just tried this after trying other button combinations found on the web to try to get it to hard reset but nothing happens with my Tab S...it still stays stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S startup screen. Any suggestions as to why that is?

Just signed in to say thanks for this, but for some reason I had to do it slightly differently. I was on stock 5.0.2 and trying to boot into recovery (Power+Volume UP+Home would start Samsung splash screens and then go black without ever booting into Recovery) so my solution was:
Shutdown Tab S, then hold down Power+Volume DOWN+Home (as though to get into Download mode) and then immediately after pressing that initially, I pressed Volume UP while still holding Power+Home.
Problem solved.

Someone please help me! I downloaded the apk above, chose "Boot into Recovery", gave it root, but it just took me to the "Downloading Do not turn off target!" screen & pressing Home + Power + Volume Down doesn't fix it! I'm using a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 SM-T800, stock Lollipop 5.0.2 and I used the combined TWRP & CF-Auto_root package on XDA to root it. Is all hope lost?

None of these work for me so...I have a feeling for whatever reason I locked myself out of recovery. Yet to try adb recovery but have little hope.

Reboot to EDL/BROM (search for right key combination) and reflash ROM using SP Flash Tool. Then flash latest Magisk
I have let the phone run down battery, pressed vol up and power, but still nothing.

@hainguyenthao helped me out. Showed me how to get into downlaod mode without pressing power and vol down!
Let the phone power down, leave it for 30 mins or so. then press vol up and vol down and insert USB cable.
OR if phone is in bootloop, press vol down and power till phone reboots, then VERY quickly hold down vol up and vol down and plug in USB cable
Dude, To put device in download mode - Press Volume Up & then Press Volume Down (Keep holding both) and connect device to PC with USB cable.
But for your problem you have to put your device in recovery mode then flash ROM. Still the problem continues, you can try this download link
I've the same problem with my Note 10+... Was on Dr. Ketan Rom and update with magisk app ends in a boot loop, I couldn't break -.-
@vinokirk could you solve the problem?
Edit: Thanks to @starpandi2004 - on the first try I can break the bootloop, but just to the first screen. After choosing download mode, it comes bootloop again -.-
Is it worth to try to lock bootloader and factory reset phone? What will happen? Is the original rom somewhere packed and would be installed again by factory reset?

Bro what about TWRP recovery? can you able access it...
if yes then dirty flash KETAN ROM..it will solve...
just had same same problem.
i connected mine to the pc and use power+up volume until twrp appeear and them restores from last backup
I got the simplest solution for this issue!
If u r stuck on Samsung logo, then try this method.
Turn off the phone by pressing vol down and power button. Once the phone is shut down, release and press again the vol down and power button when u see Samsung note 10 plus screen, then release the power button but keep pressing vol down. Once u see the "Samsung" logo, immediately release the vol down button and quickly press vol up button.
This will boot up without any problem!
