Root Galaxy Ace won't enter recovery mode!

[stevano]

1 - turn phone off.
2 - hold down home button.
3 - whilst still holding down home button hold the power button down to turn phone on.
4 - when you see samsunbg logo let go off pwoer button but keep holding home button.
5 - when you see recovery menu can let go of home button.

hope this helps.

This worked a charm for me, I was gutted thinking my phone was bricked and there was nothing I could do, untill I found this answer. Thank you so much! - Now I can charge other people and fix theirs too..xxx

Hi Guys, I have just bought an Ace and I can't get the phone to enter recovery mode to root the device!

I have tried the hold home + power button till i see a samsung logo and also holding vol down + home + power button but still cant!

My phones first and only logo I get is the samsung ace logo but most guides seem to say this is supposed to be the second of 2 logos and the first is a simple Samsung logo??

My phone is running gingerbread XXLB1 and came with that from the shop.

Thanks.
