Recovery Mode Samsung
Aquilino Neadstine
Hi Guys, I seriously am in a desperate situation regarding my S21 Ultra. Apparently I forgot my screen lock password, I am currently locked out. SMARTTHINGS find decided to no longer being SMART, Remote unlock is no longer available, Erase Data is not working (I can ring my phone through SMARTTHINGS). Google Find My Device, also doesn't allow me to erase the device, but to worsen the situation, it looks like recovery mode is not working as well.
I have read almost every possible way to load recovery mode, watch countless of youtube videos, but doesn't seem to work. I am pretty sure I am doing the right combinations but it seems I am still missing something
@Verpz: I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue with your Galaxy S21 Ultra. Did you make sure to power off your device prior to your attempt to access Recovery mode? With your device connected to a PC/laptop via USB cable, Recovery mode should be accessible by pressing and holding the Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously until the device powers on, and the Recovery mode menu is displayed. If the problem persists, then please head to samsung.com > Scroll to the bottom of the screen > Contact us, and get in touch with our Support Team via your preferred contact method, and an advisor can arrange for an engineer to unlock the device for you. Please be aware that proof of purchase/proof of ownership will be required, as your query relates to a security feature on the device. I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you.
@BreeTheMouse You will need another Device if you do not have a computer, can also plug in USB-C Headphones if available. Are you wishing to wipe the cache partition, repair apps or something else? Anyway a bit about the various options here -to-use-android-recovery-mode/
I have Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000) and I've installed Cyanogenmod 10 M2. I can reboot into recovery from Cyanogenmod (Hold Power button, select Reboot and Recovery). However, I cannot boot directly to recovery holding Volume up + Power or Volume up + Home + Power when the phone is powered down.
Do I need to do something to the phone hardware to get some button combination to boot to recovery mode? As far as I know, the button combination I've tried is the correct one for this device. I can boot to download mode with Volume down + Power.
If you fail to release the power button before the second boot display, you cannot get it to go into the recovery mode. Instead it will enter the normal boot sequence which seems to fail if you keep holding the Power button. On the other hand, if you don't keep buttons pressed long enough, it will enter the normal boot sequence, again. I haven't figured out if holding the Home button is really required but at least it does not prevent entering the recovery mode.
This is the most common and the easiest way to boot into recovery on your smartphone as it doesn't need any additional tools or software. The process may differ slightly depending on your device manufacturer, but it should generally be the same. To enter the recovery mode on an Android phone:
Some devices, including the Samsung Galaxy phones, will require you to hold the volume up and power button instead of the volume down. If your Samsung Galaxy phone has a Bixby button, then you must hold that down as well.
Once you are in the Recovery mode, you can use the volume buttons to navigate the menu options and press the power button to select. You won't see the same set of options in the Recovery menu of each phone, so don't go in expecting to see a barrage of menu items. Some phones like the ones sold by OnePlus only have a limited number of options, whereas Google's Pixel phones, for instance, have the option to enter fastboot, etc.
If you have a rooted Android device, you can easily boot into recovery using apps like Recovery Reboot. You just have to open the app and grant root access, following which you'll find the option to boot into recovery. Many custom ROMs also offer the option to boot directly into the recovery mode from within the power menu.
Is there any way that I could alter the recovery mode on my Android phone using Ubuntu? I'm wondering because my rooted LG Spirit H422 phone crashed when I tried to convert KingRoot to SuperSU, and I can't boot into recovery mode. After it crashed only the LG logo is appearing, so I tried factory reset, but it doesn't work. Now I can't open recovery mode, even by pressing Volume Down+power buttons. How to recover it in Ubuntu?
