    Hey my phone is not going to recovery mod what shall i do its going in downloading mode but not recovery mode pls help i have never installed badaroid before

    • Make sure you have flashed BOOTFILES and FOTA properly and also “Zimage” file.
      if Zimage is corrupted then it won’t work, you might get red colored fota message with
      load size of image is zero that means loading image to buffer has problem,
      after pressing (end key + menu key + volume up key ).
      If it shows load size is “58588…etc” bytes then there are some possiblities that could work
      – remove battery and again re-insert it after few sec (make sure phone is not on charging).
      – and try it above key combo.

      See, all these are just possiblities you try it without loosing your patience.

    Hi, I tried all the below mentioned options but still I can’t boot badaAndroid….

    Boot Android pressing Call key + End key, (you will get FOTA file message then badaAndroid logo , Cynogenmod logo)OR Call key + End key +Volume Down key.

    I have repeated all the steps and still the same issue…..please help

    • It happens in some cases, i also faced same problem .
      you can try out one more thing is that as soon as it stucks,
      you remove battery for a sec and then again reinsert it,
      and reboot it by pressing call key + end key + vol down key.
      hope this will work for your problem.
