[Q] Help with recovery mode!

---

When i enter recovery mode ADB will not list my phone, it lists it just fine however when my phone is on.. anyone have a idea?

I know it sounds stupid but make sure you have debugging mode on. Also when you mount your device (while its turned on) select the sync mode on your phone. I had to do that and then just play with it while loop is running pull the battery while usb is still plugged in and then power back on while holding volume down. I had to do that over and over and it eventually caught it.

I have debugging mode on, and while it is turned on and mounted as a disk drive ADB will recognize it. Ill try switching it to sync instead of disk drive.

Yeah it should recognize while in disk drive mode but it did not for me one time until I switched to sync. Could have just been a weird fluke but maybe not.

So you switched it to sync instead and while it was trying to sync you pull the battery out and hold the volumn down and the power button then put the battery back in? it will not catch it when i do this!

Not exactly. I switched it to sync and then let it do its thing for a minute. Then I powered off started running loop and powered back into recovery. Your computer shoukd make a little beep sound and the loop might hang up a bit when recovery loads. I then took the battery cover off and pulled the battery (loop still running and usb still plugged into phone) then hold vol down and put the battery back in. It will load into the boot loader from there you select recovery. I had to do that about a dozen times and finally it just caught on and showed my device in the loop as recovery.

Ill try this and post what happens thank you !

So far no luck, my computer will confirm that the phone is connected (by playing the sound confirmation) however it does not seem to be catching within windows or ADB

A thought occurred to me about this ... A couple people have said that it started working for them when they had a new/freshly installed microSD card in their phone. The card that comes pre-installed in the phone has doubletwist on it, including an autorun file. I noticed that until I removed these things from the memory card, Windows was identifying the card as "Media sync powered by doubletwist" or some crap like that. I took all that junk off and it started identifying it as just "Removable Disk." Now, I took off all this before I tried the rooting process, so I don't know if it would've caused any problems. Could it be that this has something to do with it? It doesn't seem likely to me, but I thought I'd mention it.

At any rate, try a new or freshly formatted SD card, see if that helps.

Restarting over and over again finally made it work. now have a fully rooted slide.
