As soon as I turn on my Galaxy S II on it boots directly into recovery. WOrst of all the power button. CWM won't let me choose reboot or anything when I press the power button. HELPP!!!
So can we get a little info as to what you were doing before this happened, such as were you rooting/flashing a rom?
Also the power button is of no use in CWM, use the home button to select items
And finally this is in the wrong thread!
Softkeys

Here you go, this is the best solution to your problem:
CWM Recovery Menu buttons layout.
Home Softkey = Selects
Back Softkey = Go Back
Vol+/Vol- = scroll up and down
Good luck!
Power button is now for BACK
use Home to select
When /system does not contain a working ROM, the phone boots to recovery. Just adb push a rom to internal SD and flash it.
Not development...

Can anyone of you help me because i think i need to do a factory reset, but now it stuck in boot loop and it does not have a key combination to go into recovery mod. Help
Noone answer till now...
There is a key combination. Search it on google. How to boot lg optimus (your model) into recovery. Once in wipe data then wipe cache

From searching other forums and google I found the following:
You can enter update mode by removing the battery, then while holding down the VOL + button plug in your usb cord(i assume while it's connected to your computer).
Then you can search the forums here and find:
[LG P970] Upgrade Kit 3.5
(the title is longer than this i just didn't put it all in here due to laziness)
This should help you in your quest of retrieving your phone from light up paperweight status. I don't really know though. Since I've never used your phone. Good luck.
recovery mode
you need to press the home button,volume -, and power,
to enter to the recovery mode.

To get into Recovery mode :
Press and hold Volume down + Home key

The Home key is actually the touch key on the Optimus Black..it's not a button but a touch input
The combination is the same as above :good:

Doesn't work when you power up your device with those keys.
Power on your device before you press the key combination.
Took me a frustrating half an hour to find out...

power up your phone, then press and hold vol down + home key and then also press and hold the power button until the phone restarts. then it should boot into recovery.

power up your phone, when the buttons start to blink (or the cm logo appears or whatever boot logo you have) press and hold vol down then press power button (home key is not really needed like the video ) . it also works on stock rom if you have a recovery installed.
note that it won't work at the early bootup when the lg logo appears or when android is booted and ready.

It takes me in safe mode, i'm not even sure what it is (I guess is something similar to window's? It has less apps when I am in safe mode!
I'm not sure what to do, I tried to reboot in recovery mode with the ROM manager but it doesn't work (nothing of the ROM manager works actually).
Any ideas on what safe mode is?
Thanks!
UPDATE:
I tried this app to reboot in recovery mode
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&hl=en
It rebooted the phone, the android robot showed up with some stuff turning in the stomach (like this: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Android_Update_Screen.JPG) and then it turned on normally except that all my data now is gone (which is not a problem since I wanted to wipe it from the recovery mode, the problem is that I still can't get into recovery mode!
P.S.: it wouldn't let me post normal links because I'm a new member, I hope I didn't break any rule posting them like this! (after all it's not spam!)
My 5.0 player is in Android system recovery mode and I am just trying to wipe data /factory reset. I can scroll down using the vol keys but I can not select the option. When I try to select the option by pressing the power button nothing happens. I know this seems really lame but it is driving me crazy. Please help.
Does the CWM menu just disappear? If so, I've had that problem a few times. Just reboot (forcibly) and try again.

When I press the power button nothing happens. If I hold it down it shuts down. When restarted it goes right back to system recovery menu.

stock recovery uses the home button not the power button for select.
Update: also newer versions of CWM (vers 5.x.x) can use both power button and home button.
Hi, I installed new rom ([JB] [P4--P4WIFI--P4VZW] 4.1.2 AOKP), but i didnt canceled the security of lockscreen with PIN. After install old PIN doesnt work and i dont have access to my tablet. Version of my recovery is: Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) - 2.3.1.1.
holding power and volum down button redirect me to download menu
holding power and volume up button just reset tablet
what i must do now?
pls any ideas how to get to recovery menu?
It doesn't make sense that you wouldn't be able to access recovery on a hard reset unless you're using the wrong key combination.
Hold Power and Volume down which is right next to power, and keep holding them until you see the Galaxy tab logo. Then let go of Power ONLY and keep holding volume down. That should result in two options...recovery on the left, and download on the right. Let go of volume down as soon as you see the two icons, then press volume down once to select recovery, then volume up to select it.
Good luck!

Download a ROM for your S3 that you know will work (Stock Samsung or CM10 or something stable) from the S3 Android Development section (Should be a zip file).
Copy it to your SD Card and reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery.
Then backup everything by selecting "Backup And Restore"> "Backup".
Then select Format Dalvik and Format Cache, then go into Mounts and Storage and format your /System.
After this return to the main menu and install the ROM you downloaded earlier.
Is there a way on how to flash ROM on Huawei Ascend G525? I had just done rooting this phone. Also, I don't know how to navigate to the recovery of this phone, I did try to press the power on button with the up and down volume keys but it did not go to the recovery. Is there any solution for this?
If you want to go to recovery mode or CWM, press and hold the back key + volume down and press the power button.
When the screen flashes, let go.
And it's done, try it.
Hit the thanks button if it helps.

i tried your way but I failed, it did not rebooted to the cwm. i think there is no hard back key in my handset, it will not work/function when a phone is turned off. keys that would work are only the power button and the volume up/down keys.
Disable Fast Boot for Recovery
Hi, It is as you wrote earlier, volume up and down keys and then press power, But for this to work you have to either disable Fast Boot from settings > all and 2nd last option, or you can remove battery for two seconds at least to force mobile complete shut down.
Hope this helps

Actually there is no clockwordmod installed on G525. Let us wait for developers to work on it. Currently, I found a Chinese language custom recovery available in the internet. You can try that if you want. Just searh on google "G525 CWM".
