[HELP] Can't Install CWM Recovery!! no Download Mode only Factory Mode?

[DevilMind007]

Can't boot into DOWNLOAD MODE.
when ever i press [Vol Down+Home+Power] i always land in FACTORY MODE.
i want DOWNLOAD MODE for Installing CWM Recovery or any custom recovery.

please someone help

UPDATE: 1
i have Rooted my mobile via one click quick Root Genius.
But still can't install CWM Recovery or enable DOWNLOAD/ODIN MODE for flashing by rebooting [ Vol down + power + home button (all at the same time) ]

UPDATE: 2
i also get error on TERMINAL APP for efs folder fix Factory Mode because there is NO folder named "efs" or "FolderApp" in root of my Android.

UPDATE: 3
tried ADB. it does detect my phone.
on command "adb reboot download"
it does the simple reboot, Does Not reboot into Download Mode.

my phone specs are:
model: gt-i9082 Grand Duos
Made in Vietnam by Samsung
base-band: ZTAMH1
Android ver: 4.1.2 Original Stock ROOTED (but it says Ice Cream Sandwich when i tap it)

I had similar issue ... solved.

PROBLEM: Every time when i flash cwm recovery through odin everything goes normal. still unable to boot in recovery mode.
SOLUTION:
1. restart phone in odin download mode by vol-down+power+home. connect to odin uncheck auto reboot in odin while flashing recovery image.
2. flash cwm recovery image and wait until it finishes.
3. remove battery and place again.
4. boot in recovery by pressing Vol-up + power + home
5. select install from sdcard and install supersu or superuser ( this step will root phone and prevent cwm recovery menu to be replaced by stock version)

<--- Dont forget to hit thanks

Using any explorer go to the root folder of your grand. Is there any folder named 'efs' in it ?

odin not detecting i9082

brother i have same issue , not even going to recovery mode , but going to download mode and when connect via cable to run odin , odin is not detecting it , installed samsung drivers but no luck at all , still not detecting .

i suspect it this is korean phone (made in vietname by samsung)

Please tell us any solution so we can flash custom roms and even factory reset from recovery , as when i reset from setting it restarts and straight goes to screen , not observed that next next for language , region , etc .

Try search USB jig, it could boot your device to dload mode, maybe you'll get luck, Odin detect it again. BTW, did you try on other PC, change USB cable, try other USB port? Worth to try.
