[GUIDE] How to reboot in recovery
- Thread starter ppero196
- Start date
This "feature" almost surely depends on bootloader version and probably only the devices which shipped with preinstalled XXALJL firmware are affected. Question is if the important part of the bootloader which detects if buttons are pressed and decides about starting recovery mode is upgradable in some way..
I have XXALJL firmware (4.1.1) and NO, i cannot boot into recovery via button combo.
Altough i might be doing something wrong.

I can't enter in recovery mode...
I tried wipe file, if I don't use the file param, block on boot.
I tried quickboot, nothing.
Factory mode in setting, nothing the mobile block on boot...
If I don't use param, the mobile after each flash, block on boot... and block when I tried to reboot in recovery mode.

Not exactly. What I was suggesting was to detect inside boot.img (by the init process) which buttons are pressed, and if volup+home is pressed then reboot into recovery. This way, even if /system is completely borked it is still possible to reboot into recovery.
Hello guys,
I can boot into recovery, pressing, up, home and power for a long time. The "Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini"-logo comes two times, and I press the three buttons all the time, until an "Android" comes. Than I am in Recovery mode. I haven't flashed or rooted my phone now, but is it not easier root and flash it via cutsom recovery mode?
Sorry for my bad English :/ If you habe some questions about my phone ask

mine works to with the button combo
Well my Mini has the button option. When bought it , it had 4.1.1 and it worked ok (Vol-Home+Power). Upgraded to 4.1.2 and still there... Also mine is 8190N, which I think points to NFC capability. But wondering what are other models like 8190L???
L - Latin America model
T - 16 GB NFC model

Recovery + root
Hi all!
I'am a new S3 Mini user (moved from Galaxy Ace ).
I have following question:
Once I am in the factory recovery via the ADB method, can I directly root my phone from here? Or there is no such update.zip package which I can execute from factory recovery?
And yes, I saw the root methods described in general thread so please don't say: "Try methods described in general thread."
On my previous phone (Galaxy Ace) I was able to root the device from factory recovery. I did not need CWM or any other replacement for this.

Nope.
You must install CWM first then the root. If you want that way.
Or use rooted rom.
Samsung locked stock recovery to only accept samsung signed zip

So the only reason why flashable ZIP packages doesn't work from factory recovery is the signature, right?
Yep.
But if you check general section again a zip to root came out which can be installed via stock recovery.

You can root it from stock recovery with a zip recently launched. You can find it in General thread.

Let's say your phone won't boot normal for some reason. Then you can enter recovery-mode to clear cache, or even restore the phone with factory reset.
If you flash a custom recovery to the phone there will be even more options like backup/restore, fix permissions, and many more.

NEWS on the tre button combo not working:laugh:
Read from post 26.
You can enable the three-button combo by flashing Le Fleur ROM via ODIN. And if you flash a custom ROM over it as well as a different recovery the three-button method will stick.

Hi, I`m not ppero196 but how it works. Download this rar and extract on your PC. I always take the path to C:\Android\ . Then activate USB-Debugging on your device and connect your device to the PC. Open the cmd on your windows machine and type:
For download mode:
Code:cd\ cd Android adb reboot download
or for the recovery mode:
Code:cd\ cd Android adb reboot recovery
Have fun by the trying.
@ ppero196:
You write in the first post that:
Can you please fixed the command for reboot recovery? Thanks in advance.

And one more way, if you have rooted your phone, you can install an app like quick boot and use it for booting into recovery.
