Dear guys,
I have a t-mobile g2 device and as I wanted to apply update.zip is saw that I need a keyboard in the menu to select the option because it doesnt work with trackball.
There are 3 options:
reboot (Home +back)->I can select it since I have that 2 button, but it doesnt work with trackball
apply cdcard:update.zip [alt+S]
wipe data / factory reset[alt+m]
There is also a text down"e: cant open /cache/recovery/command/ but I dont think it matters
Could you help me on how to select it with no alt+s button?
normally it works with trackball. make sure you dont touch the screen while trying to select an option. if it still dont work try another recovery...

anyway there is no touchscreen support in recovery mode (AFAIK)
Some of the buttons move the cursor too, possibly volume down goes down but i cant remember. I use the trackball.
I can move the cursor but the trackball "enter" doesnt work.
"Enter" is the Home button?
no:S i tried every combination ..
i want to do this too! any ideas?
Ohhh god !!!
u can move selection by trackball and press it to enter. NOTHING ELSE my dear friend.
Use volume up and down to move up and down and home to select.
If these don't work your recovery is broken so flash it again using method described in the AmonRA recovery topic.

Hi - I have the same problem; no trackball click/enter for recovery menu. Any more detailed ideas anyone?
Is this a recovery fault or what? Any ideas? Thank you.

Tried the volume buttons?
It sounds like you ain't added the recovery ROM????? Your using the stock one provided by HTC/T-Mobile.. or I could be wrong.. probably flash again as already suggested
I think that you are using the g1's recovery so it's for the dream which have a keyboard..
I have just upgraded my hero from official 2.1 to froydvillain 1.7.0,
I used ROM Manager to finish this upgrade. Everything gets fine.
And now, I decide to update to 1.7.1 and 1.7.2.
The problem I am now facing is...
when I click "Reboot into Recovery"...
my phone will not reboot into Recovery anymore, but only stop at a screen with the word HERO...
Anyone could help? I successfully enter Recovery Mode when my first time of upgrade. I dont know why I cant this time. So I cant do any upgrade or flash another rom. Please help. Many thanks.
I think there are two other ways to enter in recovery mode.
1. Press and keep pressed HOME button while powering the phone on.
2. Enter in HBOOT (press and keep pressed vol down button while powering the phone on) and select Recovery option.
I hope this helps you.

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried these 2 methods but cant help.
(1) is what i did before and sucessfully flashed a customised rom for the first time. but after that, i did the same but cant enter recovery mode. its so strange. just stop on a screen in black background with HERO logo.
(2) I tired this too. I saw a white background with green text. But i cant find Recovery option.
Any other suggestions? Many thanks.

Hey all, I just got a new phone. First off, I'm really confused here... When I boot my phone it says GT-I9100 but according to XDA the AT&T version should be the i777. Please move this post if it is in the incorrect place.
I successfully rooted my phone using Odin, installed ClockworkMod, tried to make a backup before making any changes, but now while in recovery mode I can use the volume buttons to scroll around but cannot select anything from the menu. What button is normally used to select in CWM for the Galaxy S II that has the 4 touch buttons, not the big one in the center?
When I try to reboot my phone or pull the battery I get this:
-- copying media files...
successfully copied media files.
# MANUAL MODE #
--Updating application...
Successfully updated application.
--Applying Multi-CSC...
Can't access to '/system/csc/ATT/system/'.
Succesfully applied multi-CSC
Then the phone is stuck on a "reboot now" screen.
HELP PLEASE!!! Literally just got this phone, please don't tell me it's just an expensive paperweight now!

Volume to move selection, home to select, back to go to previous menu.
Tried using the power button, nothing. Home button is the same.

That's what worked for me.
Thanks for the info guys. It's good to know at least that I'm pushing the right buttons. Now I just need a fix since they're obviously not working. My phone will not boot past this. I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this issue or if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix it?
Have you tried to go back into download mode? If you can then I would get entropy's stock rom and reflash back to stock and try to start over.

Power button will not select options in ClockWorkMod
djbiker24seven, Was this ever resolved?
I'm having a simliar problem. I booted my phone into ClockworkMod 4.0.1.4 to install cyanogenmod and I can navigate just fine using the volume up/down buttons, but the power button will not select anything. If I press one of the soft buttons on the bottom of the phone, the screen just shows a fedora graphic. If i reboot the phone it constantly boots back into Clockwork and I can't break the loop. I can't get back into download mode either.
If anyone has any insight it would be appreciated.
Samsung Galaxy S II for AT&T (SGH-1777)
Home button for enter, Back button for....... well back. If that's not responding try reflashing a CWM kernel in Odin and try again from scratch.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesnt the SGSII require CM5+?
Yeah it does
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823
In theory, someone could release a kernel with CM4.x for the I777 - but no one has.
If you're in CWM 4.x, I have NO clue what the hell you installed - it sure wasn't for your device.

Easy fix, hold down the Volume Down button untill you see back menu button enabled, same thing happened to me. Hope this works for you like it did for me!:good:
Stepping back, What method did you use to root?

I'm the stock att rom on 2.3.4. I had my phone for a while but never backed up my ROM. I performed a permissions fix and rebooted. I selected backup ROM and it rebooted. The phone tried to reboot but got stuck trying to boot to recovery menu. I hit the volume button and got the Rom M. recovery menu. None of the options work. It just shows an icon and does nothing. If I hit the volume button it goes back to menu. I've tried to reboot several times and it keeps on booting to a non functional Rom Manager menu.
I'm done my searches and I'm no luck. Is there a way to recovery without completely wiping the phone? I'm hoping there's an easy way to recover the boot using Odin?
Here's exactly what I did in that situation .. take the battery out and leave it out for about 2 hours.. this will totally deplete your phone of any kind of power.. after your done put it back in and it should boot up perfectly! If not try to take it out for longer

Depending on which version of cwm you are booting into...what button are you using to select? Most of them its either power or the home button. Try the home button to select.

Thanks for the response but I don't see how this would fix the problem as it boots from internal storage and not the memory. I'll try it while I'm doing research and waiting for more responses.

Much Thanks!!!!! Karashta. Selecting the home bottom to select instead of the power is the proper way of selecting the menu's.
Thanks for making my day.

No problem man. That freaked me out coming from my captivate where power was select. Glad I could help

As the title suggests: I cannot select any options in CWM because my power button is broken. When cycling the battery CWM still appears. How can I just make it boot up without going into CWM?
Thank you so much for your help, in advance.

I fixed this issue by taking out the battery, plugging up the phone, then replacing the battery. This got it booted. I still am unable to unlock my screen. I need to remap my volumeup+volume down button to power or "unlock screen". Does anyone know how to do this?
