Hello,
am a new member here and need an urgent help in a complicated issue ( at least for me ;(,)
I have Samsung galxy Vibrant (T-mobile), I rooted it and tried to install custom roms on it.
I tried about 4 roms and every thing was fine.
the last try was the problem; I installed a gingerbread rom and it was good, then I tried to reboot it in system recovery mode as usual but this time the boot screen was different, plz refer to the attached image.
in this screen I have to press OK key to enter a choice, but what's the OK key I have to press???
I the past it was " press power key" and it was ok.
I tried all buttons to choose a choice but nothing works.
I tried to boot it in download mode but again no result, it hangs on recovery screen.
So please I need a help in this, how can I exit from this stupid recovery screen, or boot in download mode?
Thanks and sorry for this looooooong description

Depending on the ROM the recovery mode isn't working. For example I know Simply Galaxy 2.3 wasn't working. Did you read the whole post for the ROM? Can you post the link to the ROM you installed?
EDIT: Nevermind you can post links. Please post the name of the ROM you installed ex. Simply Galaxy, MIUI, CM7 etc
this is the link:

Hello,
after some research here is my problem in brief:
I have Samsung vibrant and by mistake installed a Samsung S rom.
now am stuck in the recovery mode and can not go out the reason is in Galaxy S you have to press Home key to select on option from recovery menu, in Vibrant there is no Home button like Galaxy S, so how can I get from this??????
Thanks

Hey all, I just got a new phone. First off, I'm really confused here... When I boot my phone it says GT-I9100 but according to XDA the AT&T version should be the i777. Please move this post if it is in the incorrect place.
I successfully rooted my phone using Odin, installed ClockworkMod, tried to make a backup before making any changes, but now while in recovery mode I can use the volume buttons to scroll around but cannot select anything from the menu. What button is normally used to select in CWM for the Galaxy S II that has the 4 touch buttons, not the big one in the center?
When I try to reboot my phone or pull the battery I get this:
-- copying media files...
successfully copied media files.
# MANUAL MODE #
--Updating application...
Successfully updated application.
--Applying Multi-CSC...
Can't access to '/system/csc/ATT/system/'.
Succesfully applied multi-CSC
Then the phone is stuck on a "reboot now" screen.
HELP PLEASE!!! Literally just got this phone, please don't tell me it's just an expensive paperweight now!

Volume to move selection, home to select, back to go to previous menu.
Tried using the power button, nothing. Home button is the same.

That's what worked for me.
Thanks for the info guys. It's good to know at least that I'm pushing the right buttons. Now I just need a fix since they're obviously not working. My phone will not boot past this. I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this issue or if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix it?
Have you tried to go back into download mode? If you can then I would get entropy's stock rom and reflash back to stock and try to start over.

Power button will not select options in ClockWorkMod
djbiker24seven, Was this ever resolved?
I'm having a simliar problem. I booted my phone into ClockworkMod 4.0.1.4 to install cyanogenmod and I can navigate just fine using the volume up/down buttons, but the power button will not select anything. If I press one of the soft buttons on the bottom of the phone, the screen just shows a fedora graphic. If i reboot the phone it constantly boots back into Clockwork and I can't break the loop. I can't get back into download mode either.
If anyone has any insight it would be appreciated.
Samsung Galaxy S II for AT&T (SGH-1777)
Home button for enter, Back button for....... well back. If that's not responding try reflashing a CWM kernel in Odin and try again from scratch.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesnt the SGSII require CM5+?
Yeah it does
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823
In theory, someone could release a kernel with CM4.x for the I777 - but no one has.
If you're in CWM 4.x, I have NO clue what the hell you installed - it sure wasn't for your device.

Easy fix, hold down the Volume Down button untill you see back menu button enabled, same thing happened to me. Hope this works for you like it did for me!:good:
Stepping back, What method did you use to root?

bringing up year old dead posts...congrats

There comes a point where i wish old posts were auto locked; or bumping them required a mod's approval first..
Ah well, one more to close myself...
I followed the steps for easy rooting and finished with one click root. Phone was fine then I flashed clockwork from rom manager because I couldnt get it to go into clockwork. Now the phone is in a constant clockwork recovery. the up and down arrows work but the power button that normally works like enter just shuts the screen off and shows a rom manager logo in the middle of the screen. How do I fix? even when I pull the battery and power up it immediately goes to clockwork again.
Home button for enter on this phone.
try the home button to enter. power button does not work with our model
forgot to mention that I can get it into download mode so I tried to go back and reflash in Odin like before and start over but it failed on the initial read and I didn't want to try again
You shouldn't have used ROM Manager, it causes problems like this. If you are able to, try just reflashing the stock kernal then CWM again. Using ROM Manager messes up our phones for some reason.

I'm a total noob. I just assumed that the power button was enter key like my old captivate. Thank you

I had the same problem (stock on clockwork mode with Rom Manager Logo). I have read lots of posts and crossed Heimdall. When installed it I ran it and received MSVCP100.dll error. Read README file on Heimdall and installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 and.....that didn't help. Absolutely accidently instead of pressing PWR button in the phone to chose a command I pressed (!!!) HOME button (soft key) and IT WORKED!!! Hope it will help someone and thanks to those who contributed their time and posted various answers
This is why you read the sticky that explains not to use ROM Manager and if you read it do not ignore it. This phone is truly easy to root and flash roms on if you pay attention and don't skip info and steps.
This issue seriously comes up WAY too much.

Dont bump old threads that were garbage to begin with... and dont use Rom Manager.
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.

I am pressing power.. What I'm saying is that when I do I only get a blank screen with the rom manager logo on it.

This may have been said before...but its a lil bit different. I have a new Note i717. Its unlocked...has ICS 4.0.4 on it. Not ROOTED. But..i can't get into even the Android recovery. No matter what i do. I seen another guy mention on here when he holds the crrect buttons down....it just goes buzz....buzz...buzz...forever until i let go...then it would boot up normally.
I put TWRP onto it recently...i put superuser into the internal card...but won't boot into it for nothing. What you guys think?
Edit:Can't Root This Phone For sh**. Dunno Why. My Other Note..I ROOTED In 5 Min. Something Aint Right.
Power off the phone. Then while holding down volume up and volume down press power. The phone will vibrate signalling that it is booting up. Let go of the power button and hold volume up and volume down until the first Samsung screen flashes on and off.

Doesn't Work. Nothing Works. Very Very Weird. I Had My White Note ROOTED Easily. For The Life Of Me...Can't Figure Out How To Get In This Mode. I Flashed The TWRP Recovery. Phone Isn't ROOTED Tho. I've Done All Kinds Of Ways. Nothing Is Working At All. A Factory Reset Wouldn't Help Any Right? Im Not ROOTED Or On A Custom ROM.
Edit: FINALLLLLLLLYYYYYY Got It To Work. The Lil Damn Things. I Guess Its Been awhile Since i Did All This ROOT Stuff. I Was Holding All 3 Down At The Same Time. Suppose To Hold Vol Up/Down.....Then Power...Like U Said Adonisd. Thanks Alot Brotha.
No problem. You are very welcome. Don't forget to add solved to your topic title.
