I found in clockworkmod recovery after you flash you dont get the option to Go Back... but if you click your volume up buttong 6 times real fast it will say back button enabled. then select aany option in the list and then you will have ++++ Go Back++++ so you can go back as many times as you want.
Great tip! just used it. Thanks
Thanks
Great tip - thanks

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'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?

Hi guys,
I forgot the pin-code to my Galaxy S2, not to the sim, to the phone.
I can't go into recovery mode or download mode, due to a broken home-button.
Is there any way I can like hack the pin, or reset the phone without having to use my home button?
Maybe by using my pc or something?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Man I thought it was impossible to get into download mode but you got me there!
Unfortunately I do not see the "Clear Storage" option.
The volume down button gets me into a reboot.
Volume up gets me to downloading.
Is there any way I can get into recovery? Or download something to the phone that resets it?
And eh, multitasking, that is kind of hard with no home button.
The back button gets some more use since the home button has died haha

If you want to get yourself into recovery mode try something simpler
A cwm manager app
It has the option boot into recovery

Problem is, I cannot acces my phone so I can't install apps
I'm thinking about flashing another rom, only I can't wipe cache and factory reset before doing that.
What are the risks of that? And is there a big chance of this going wrong?

Mate, if you can enter download mode then use odin to flash
I am not sure you can enter recovery mode without home button though you can with a jig
But haven't tried it
Search xda it if you have a jig

Thanks, flashing right now.
Had flashed a few hours ago, but still got asked for the pin.
Though then I had to register the phone (name, language, that stuff) and after that I was in the phone, and did not have to enter the pin.
Doing that again right now, hoping to get to settings and then get to factory reset
Thanks for your help so far.
Then another question popped up:
To get another kernel I need recovery mode right?
And to get rooted I need a rooted kernel?
So can I root my device without home button and without recovery menu?

Hi guys, as known as, we now can install the bump recovry with autorec easily and it has worked very well.
On another side, i care about how to enter rec by using hardkey. I have looked at 3 ways to do its on 4rum and some Source , but not working (they tell that hold down vol- & power, then release power/release vol-/ both...and push down again..bla ...bla).
They all not work on my case
And finally i found a right way to do. and i want to share for anyone like me, can't go recovery like some guide have known before.
1. Please shutdown ls990 completely.
2. Hold down (Vol-) and (Power) togrther.
3.DON't release any thing-it's diffierent.
4. When you see "recovery" showed on the screen (after LG booting screen), now release both of button.
Now you will know what you want to do.
Thanks for reading. Hope it will helpfull for you, however.
I can't boot to recovery by this way, I had to press Vol (+) and POWER to boot to recovery... weird
