Hello!
I could really use some help. I installed a rom from zip, and it finished. But it did not bring me back to the screen where it says "Reboot". so now I am stuck in Clock word recovery since there is no back button.
I can't even pull the battery since the tab has no battery to pull.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thank you!
EDIT: I'm using CLockwork V. 4.0.0.4
And, specifically, i went back into "Install zip" and i'm stuck in the -log/ folder.
Ok, I seemed to fix the problem. I held down the Volume up button and the power and it shut off, was able to reboot. I think the version of clockword recovery did not have a ***Go Back*** Button or something? I'm really unsure.
jest hold the power until the tab powers off

I am trying to reset my Vibrant battery by booting into recovery mode.
I press Vol up/down & Power while the phone is off & plugged in. I then release the buttons when I see the "Vibrant" screen. It takes me to the recovery menu, but when I select "Reinstall Packages", it looks for Update.zip on my sdcard. How do I get to the menu with the options for my battery?
Running stock with JI6 update.
I have read that I should release the buttons after I see the SECOND Vibrant screen... but what does this mean? I hold down the buttons, and the screen flashes "Vibrant"... I keep holding the buttons, and the screen then shows the Gear(settings) image... If I release the buttons after seeing this Gear image, I just get to the same recovery screen as if I had released the buttons after seeing the first "Vibrant" screen. What do they mean when they say to release the buttons after I see the "2nd vibrant screen"?
Thanks for the help...
you have to be rooted with clockwork recovery. then when you boot into the stock recovery and select Reinstall Packages it will take you to the clockwork recovery. then under advanced it has wipe battery stats. without root you cant do it.
that doesn't always work. I just tried it and I don't get to the recovery menu either. I did the battery reconditioning last night/this morning and had to restart the phone, choose clockwork recovery and boot into recovery. Then I could reset the battery stats.
Oh, thanks, but I don't have Clockwork or any roms or root or anything, just stock. Is there any way for stock users to recalibrate the battery?
I'm a total noob. My brother flashed paranoid android for me, and it was working for a while, but then when I rebooted, my phone stuck on the foods animation screen. I tried holding power and vol up, but that only took me to the animation screen again. Next I tried holding down power, vol up and vol down, and it goes to the htc screen repeatedly. When I held down power and volume down, the option to boot into recovery appears momentarily, but I was not able to select it. The screen then goes to some screen that says HBOOT and my only option is to start an update. Selecting no only gives me the option to reboot, and selecting yes carries out the update, but nothing changes. Sprint is my carrier if that makes a difference.
I don't know what else to do! I hope this made some sense, and your help is greatly appreciated! Sorry for my ignorance and thanks in advance.
Take the sd card out and put in computer. Remove the file PG86IMG.zip, put card back in phone. Volume down and power should work correctly and not try to update when booting into hboot. You'll then be able to get into recovery from there.
I'm a bit of a noob at terminology and android settings so try to bear with me...
I'm running a deodexed vzw CleanRom v1.6.5 and I've downloaded TWRP recovery via gooManager. (Yes I've installed the recovery script from it.) Back when I had a stock rom, when I held the power + the volume up button it would go into TWRP recovery fine. But now (I don't know if it's CleanRom's fault) when I start up the phone into recovery mode using the shortcut the blue text would appear but it would restart normally.
My stock backup was corrupted for some reason and it softbricked my phone so I had to odin flash and go through all that rooting process again before restoring from my CleanRom backup via TWRP. So I don't really want to go back to stock, but I guess I can download a stock one if I really need to.
I can still enter TWRP by going into gooManager and pressing reboot recovery from there. Any solution to this?
I'm also on CleanRom 1.6.5 and it works for me... Vol up+power

To get mine to boot to recovery while phone is off I have to hold volume + and menu key at the same time. Then hit the power button until it vibrates then let go of the power button. If I keep holding the power button then the blue writing is displayed but instead of going into recovery it just reboots. However if I only hit the power button and release when it vibrates and I am still holding the volume + and menu key then it will boot to twrp recovery.
Alright, I'm feeling pretty foolish.
It was a simple user error that I really hate to admit. If I hold down the volume up and the power button and keep holding down both, the phone restarts as normal. But I should be letting go of the power button when the phone vibrates, while holding down the volume up button keeps it loading into the recovery mode. Don't know why I didn't have that problem before. I attempted Travis' idea first then experimented a little without the menu button and it worked fine.
Thanks.
Glad you got it figured out. :good:

True and that is what he said he has been doing. However what if you flash something and you get a boot loop. You can pull the battery and try again but if it boot loops again you will need to be able to get to your recovery with a non booting phone. That is why it is important to know how to boot the phone into recovery with out the need of any apps.

Precisely my thought process. I knew that at some time I'm bound to softbrick my phone again and I needed to boot recovery from startup.
So here's the deal. Yesterday after being at work all day, I came home and unlocked my tablet. A bunch of errors popped up right away about the launcher crashing and a few other things. I powered it down and turned it back on...and that's as far as I got. Every time I try to boot it gets stuck on the boot logo. I was able to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery mode and flashed xboxexpert's custom rom...but still no luck. The stupid thing won't boot and I'm out of ideas. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Bump? I need help here guys.
My friend's tablet wouldn't boot he opened the back cover unplugged the battery and used a universal charger on it for a few hours then when he tried it again it worked. Although he wasn't rooted and on stock firmware. Have you tried holding down the power and volume up for a few minutes?

Not sure what that would accomplish. Did it anyway tho and nothing happened...just started to boot up then turned back off.

Did you try going into recovery mode by holding Power and volume up at the same time until recovery mode pops up?
in recovery mode use volume up/down to scroll and power to select just select "Reboot Now"

I use the ClockworkMod Recovery and yes, I've done it many times.
Really screwed here and need some serious help.
So I was flashing a new rom and I formatted /system in cwm and then accidentally rebooted :\ so now my phone cant turn on. All it does is that it proceed to the logo screen and then it dims out. To make matters even worse, I removed my power button previously to solve the perma power button pressed issue. [That the on button was constantly pressed so i followed a suggestion to entirely remove the power button]
Yeah. So I have no idea how to get into download mode or recovery mode... Any help is appreciated!
