[GUIDE] How to get into RECOVERY & Download Mode

[RavenY2K3]

I couldn't find any information about how to get into download mode using any method other than using ADB and thougth to myself, "There has to be a key combination" so I had a play around and there is.


DOWNLOAD MODE:

1) Power down the camera.

2) Whilst holding down the Shutter Button press an hold the power button.

You will then see the following screen.

Then just follow the on screen instructions.

In fact, you can do it using the zoom rocker too.
Now, I have been trying to find a combo to get into recovery, I have got it to flash up, but not stay, so it has to be in there, just a case of figuring it out.



UPDATE:
I've figured it out!

To get into RECOVERY MODE:

Make sure the camera is off first.
1) Press the shutter button HALF WAY IN and keep it held in that position.

2) Press the power button until you see it turn on then let it go, but keep the shutter button in the half way position.

You will then enter Recovery.

I keep doing this accidentally, so it wasn't hard for me to find . Must be something about the way I'm holding the camera sometimes when powering up.

Thanks for this! I'm trying to help someone recover from a bad stock update and we could find the info anywhere on how to get to recovery mode.

Ok guys. I tried all your suggestions and none work. I will tell you which one does. Download quickboot from play store and it allows you to tap on option to go into recovery. Works like a charm. none of this other nonsense.

You actually need to hold longer and it will enter the mode you want.

Hello ,
camera samsung galaxy EK-GC 100 asks for update and does botloop.
I was loading CF-Root and it did not help.
Flash -Odin and Z3X didn't help.
Can you remove the update from the system and make a flash? e.g. reverse enginering. Regards Michał
