wait until the lil android dude appears mate.
it is volume down for recovery btw.

so what happened when i did it with volume up and it warned me of the risks of installing a custom o/s but still gave me the option although the phone isnt rooted (its unlocked/sim-free though)
is this normal???

With the phone off, hold down home and volume + first....then while those are held down hold power button until you get into recovery.

I've never seen so much confusion to get a phone into recovery. Both are started with the phone off.

Recovery-volume up, power and home. As soon as you see the Samsung on your screen release all 3 buttons. If you release too early it will boot normally. If you release too late it will boot normally.

Download mode-volume down, power and home. Hold all until you get a warning, then press volume up.

Everyone got it now?

 

[funkylogik]

yup
why is it givin me option to install custom firmware though?
im used to havin CWM installed

I am guessing it depends on the model. I know what works on the us models. I am guessing the international models are different. Lol....

Since we have everyone using this forum, perhaps questions like this should be posted in device specific forums instead of general.

I have an A13 tablet and it will not boot into recovery with any combination of vol+,vol-, power etc. The only way to reboot it into recovery is via the settings screen and this means that if you can't switch on in the first place it is impossible!

 

[GSDer]

Bill,
I'm not familiar with that tablet.
- who makes it
- what version of Android is it running
- is A13 the actual model
- how many buttons does it have
- have you read the manual
What do you need to get into Recovery mode for anyway?
