Boot Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in recovery mode

Posted on by Kim


power - vol down - vol up

Reboot your tablet into recovery mode, as follows:
  1. Hold 'vol down' and 'power' buttons on tablet
  2. Release 'power' when samsung image is shown
  3. Release 'vol down' when the two icons are shown
  4. Use the 'vol down' to navigate between the icons
  5. Highlight the left icon (box)
  6. Press the 'vol up' to select it and boot into recovery mode

I am loading a custom ROM. Where should I put the zip file and in what name? Thanks.

This method booted me into "safe mode" not recovery. I'm on the Verizon 4G version of the tablet.

Works. But you have to remove USB cable before trying. With USB cable connected, the device simply reboots.

Thank you Keto. Removing the power source before rebooting was the key that I didn't get from the SamSung help desk.

This does not work on the T-537A, however, I can get it into download mode another way; but the boot loader is locked - any ideas on that issue?

I had the same problem, and the steps listed above worked for me, BUT
(big BUT!)
When I selected "reboot" from the recovery screen, the tablet shut off and now the steps no longer work.

Now what?
