I have a strange issue.
I followed this method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18576627&postcount=1
Now I have CWM recovery v5.0.2.3 on my phone.
HOWEVER, The options are there but they do nothing. For example, I choose the power off option and I see this black hat and orange circle. I hit the power button again and it just goes back to the cwm menu. I tried wipe cache and still it just shows the black hat and orange circle.
The only way it seems to get out of there is to take the battery out.
Please advise on what is going on? how do I resolve this?
Home button to select, back button to go back

Ok Thanks!
I am relieved it works.
I thought it was the same as my samsung vibrant. up and down vol to choose and power to activate option seemed to work on that cwm.

I am a NOOB. Just got my gtab and installed clockworkmod according to instructions on this site. The instructions said the tab should reboot itself after the recovery shows in top left of screen. Did not happen. I shut down the tablet and turned it back on VOL+ & POWER (yes I did hit VOL+). The recovery message pops up in the top left but it does not go to the ROM manager.
Please help!1
thanks, Kevin
Try power and volume up again but when you see the words recovery mode on the top left on the bird screen, keep holding on to the power and volume up and the screen should go black with the cwm menu. At least that was how I did it the first time I installed clockworkmod and it worked that way.
What instuctions did you follow where it says to use ROM manager?

Thanks that worked fine. I may not have been patient enough. Sorry to take so long to respond.
Thanks, Kevin
Have a problem.
Phone will only boot into clockwork recovery. From there I can not get it to do anything. Reboot and power off just go to a rom manager logo and sticks there.
If I hit the power button.........it goes back to clockwork.
Please help. I was just trying to use the one click root before this happened..
Remember that the power button acts as a "back" function. You have go use the home key for menu selection.

Hey guys,
I have a big problem when my phone ran into a problem where the home button does not work. I have read that I can potentially solve the problem by re-flashing the firmware on the phone but I am unsure how I am going to wipe the cache on my phone without the home button. I can get into recovery mode fine but I can't select anyone since the home button doesn't work.
Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks!
Well, I dont know you, but when I'm in CWM recovery mode, I use the volume button to navigate and the power button to select.

It depends on the version of CWM you have, some versions use the power button as a "go back" button, and ohers as a select button just as the home button.
Can you get into download mode? because if you can you could try flashing stock firmware via odin, re rooting and then enter CWM again and see if it's fixed.

Didn't know that... I'm using 4.0.0.5... Hope he's too
Sometimes the power button works as back button, but I don't know why. Maybe I long pressed the power button and it changed, dunno...
So since I couldn't wipe the cache I loaded the stock firmware in, now I'm stuck on a bootloop
What do I do now?
So I got the phone back up and running again but still no home button.... Does this mean my home button is permanently done even though I can still get into download and recovery?
Any help is appreciated here. thanks guys
Hi have you fixed your problem out? I have a dead home button and ended up flashing stock rom viva Odin but still not working. It was partly working before it became dead. Is this a hardware problem or a software one. I'm going to Hong Kong in a few days and see if anyone can fix/replace the button, but if its a software problem it might be more problematic.
I did strip down the phone but couldnt get to the button, realised I have to remove the digitizer just to get there which I am not too keen on.
Any suggestions would be great before I take it to repair or end up selling it and get myself a new phone.
I have searched and could not find an answer to my problem.
I have not rooted my Atrix 4G. It is stock. I am selling for a friend on ebay and cannot complete the hard reset.
When I attempt to go into recovery mode by holding the down vol button and power button, it allows me to select Android recovery, however, once the Yellow Exclamation mark pops up and I try to tap bottom right corner...nothing happens.
I cannot seem to get the following menu to pop up so I can complete the reset. I have tried multiple times and no success.
My goal is to wipe the phone to Factory.
Any ideas?

It was my understanding that Gingerbread changed the menu location; instead of tapping the corner of the screen, you press volume up and volume down simultaneously to get the recovery menu. (I've replaced mine with romracer's recovery so I can't double-check, but pretty sure I read that somewhere here.)
That Worked
thanks for the help. Since I was locked out of the phone because I did not have the original SIM, this method worked.
Hey guys. I made a video showing what I mean but that didn't work out. I'll try and explain it the best I can.
So I have an HTC Evo 3D rooted with Revolutionary with S-Off. The phone was working fine until recently. I have ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.0
When I go into CWM (power + volume down), it loads fine but won't let me access any menus. When I scroll down and select any option, the list just goes away and the CWM logo is all that's on my screen. If I click power again, the menu comes back. No matter what I select, this happens, even power down. The only way to reset my phone is to pull the battery.
Any ideas as to why this is happening? If there is an issue with the version, is there a way to upgrade/downgrade versions?
I would really like to load things from my SD card again.
Thanks in advanced,
Kyle
You pressed the power button to select options?supposingly you should use the volume button to scroll,power button for back and home button for select...

I have exactly the same problem with my ZTE Blade, CWM5.0.2.0
I can navigate through the home menu OK, but selecting any option only results in a blank screen with the CWM logo in the middle.
A button press takes me back to the home menu again.
Any ideas anyone?
