select reboot system now, then touch Home. Your device then continues to boot up.

1.With the device turned off, press the Power/Lock Key

and Volume Up Key at the same time until the device switches on.

2.Once the Galaxy Tab logo appears, release the Power/Lock Key while continuing to press the Volume Up Key.

3.Continue to press the Volume Up Key for at least 8 seconds, until Recovery mode is launched and the Android System Recovery screen is displayed.

4.Release the Volume Up key.
