I'm having an issue that when you press and hold the extended menu for "Reboot", "Power Off" etc isn't showing, instead it looks as if it's rebooting the phone as I see the boot animation then then desktop comes up again.
Anyone have an idea why this is happening?
sounds like you flashed a mod on it, that wasnt made for it....

Just download this SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar
and flash it with ODIN: http://www.multiupload.com/QQKN7NJAFT
After its done and you reboot the phone pressing the power button will
bring up the extended menu which includes "recovery" (cwm recovery).
I had that problem after I flash certain things to the rom after installed it. For example after I had flashed the circle battery icon in cwm it did that. But all I did was flash the TV animation again and it fixed it

You right it's the circle battey that I added afterwards.
I'll try flashing the tv animation and see if that resolves it.

I just switched my phone on this morning (Samsung Galaxy Fit) and it went straight onto the Android system recovery screen and it keeps going to that when I press the power on/off or take the battery out and back in.
Looks like this:
Android system recovery
Samsung Recovery Utils for BML (used to come up but not anymore)
(in blue)
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
test redbend fotal[FS]
(in yellow)
--Applying Multi-CSC --
multicsc : opera mini[li] reset
Applied the CSC-code 'XE'.
I can use the volume up/down keys to move down the list of options (in blue) but can't actually select anything - enter/ok key doesn't work, or anything else. Can anyone help? I've had a quick look on the Internet and tried using Odin but that doesn't seem to be helping. I can't seem to access anything.
Can you get into download mode? (Press middle Key ( Home key ) + Power + Volume Down)

Yes, I can do that and have tried using Odin, etc in download mode but it makes no difference

Try pressing home when you're on the reboot option.
Or for download mode, remove battery, hold both volume buttons and plug in USB.

When you are in download mode and you try to use Odin to flash a rom, what happens?

Well, everyone appears to go fine on Odin, the 'pass' notice comes up. However my phone just returns to the Android system recovery screen and I still can't select anything.

Could be... going to take it to a repair store tomorrow anyway, hopefully will get some idea of what's wrong.
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

Hi guys,
Late last year i sold my GS2 to a guy at work. Rooted and with a custom ROM installed (Cognition V1.5.1 - yes i know its old but its not my phone )
I've attempted to install RC1 for CM9 this morning however, I'm falling at the first hurdle. I've booted into Clockwork recovery (4.0.0.2). The menu buttons work fine i.e, up/down and power as enter but when i select anything it goes to a black screen with the ROM Manager logo on it (the gog and the hat) - but no options.
Do i need to install a newer version of Clockwork on the device? If i do whats the best way to do it? Do i use ROM Manager to update it as i cant access any of the menus in recovery (other than the top menu)
I've not seen this problem before as normally people are kept in boot loops or cant get passed a splash screen.
EDIT - i've just managed to get the phone to boot and its now running as normal. I'm just concerned that if i go back into recovery i might not get it back up again.
Many thanks

You're pressing the wrong button lol... use the power button to confirm and the volume buttons to move up and down. The home button does nothing.

hold power button along with volume +/- when you see samsung logo release only the power button, then once logo disappears release volume buttons..that should get you into CWM. once you have it all set up, you may want to try TWRP instead of CWM.
TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647575
Also ...
Depending on the version of CWM..it uses the double tap style to function ....making you push each area twice to toggle it ..
Then to go back to the previous screen you use the back arrow at the device bottom ..
The koush touch method is only one touch ....
Good luck brother ...
We're here for ya ...g

here's my problem,
my phone keeps on restarting whenever i reboot it.
ive tried full wipe, wipe partition and wipe dalvik cache.
ive also tried flashing custom rom via cwm and stock rom in odin which is I9100XWLS8_I9100FOPLS3_FOP
in cwm, power button isn't working..
when trying to choose a zip file, pressing power button
isn't working but touch function works well.
in odin just flashed stock rom this morning, but when it tries to boot, same problem occurs, it keeps on restarting..
i hope someone could help me ..
What you have, is a bootloop, which occurs when you don't do a full wipe before flashing a new rom..
And maybe the cwm you use doesn't support the clicking of the power button..

Maybe POWER button is faulty.Try to flash DorimanX Kernel.
i have manage to boot my phone,
turn on phone, while booting, i have to hard press the upper button of powermenu.
when it booted, i try to lock my phone (screen off) using powermenu and it wont work. powermenu option didnt showed up too..
but when i tried to screen off using the icon in dropdown toggle, it works fine.
yesterday after work i went to a technician, he said nothings wrong with it, and the only problem is the program.
but i already flashed it in stock rom and custom roms, i did full wiping to flash a clean rom.
this morning, i was thinking that the problem was the efs folder, but when i look into the efs folder in root system there it was.
i hope someone will help me..
When in recovery try the menu button.

in recovery all keys are working except for the powerbutton .
And what happens when you select an action and press home?
Siyah v6 works that way.

pressing home button works fine too.. the only problem is the power button key, ive tried a keytest and it dont really work.
Does it work as normal. If you push power will it turn screen of and on? You could use twrp as It dont use buttons edit: I read power button dont work at all?? Go to a better tec.
Also that efs bit is lock screen not power button. If it was gone it would still turn screen on and off and work just no lock screen:thumbup:
