Well, not sure if there are any other options for our phone, but issue one would be the fact that we don't have any physical buttons on our phone.

Turn on your phone, restart, or hot restart > as soon as you see boot animation hold down volume down button. Keep it held until you get a long vibrate. After the vibrate you can let go. You should be in safe mode then.
To get out of it you can hot restart.

I think he means on the face of the device. Like, the old HTC Hero has physical buttons for home, menu, etc and a trackball .

A WORD OF CAUTION TO ALL ...
I tried this when I was having trouble connecting to my SDcard via USB and it did work, BUT... for some reason, it completely wiped out all of my widgets and home screen shortcuts.
Maybe this is an isolated problem with my phone, but be aware of this possibility before you proceed.

Did you have that issue after you exited safe mode? I remember that after I exited safe mode on my thunderbolt everything returned to normal.
I booted into safe mode once by accident, same thing, everything on the home screens was almost like a factory default, rebooted and it was fine again, everything came back to normal... Pretty sure Safe Mode on the Rezound is just like in Windows, it essentially just skips a bunch of custom and non-essential startup configuration parameters.

All the widgets and shortcuts were gone after I rebooted into normal mode. The same thing happened once before but I was in the middle of trouble-shooting some issues so I dismissed it as a system glitch.

I have officially flashed Amon Ra onto my 1.49 Bootload Eris. However, once the recovery menu appears, I gave no access to change the menu selection. Neither the volume buttons nor the trackball will change the highlighted menu item. As such, I can not select anything except restart. Any thoughts? I am sorry if this is a double post, I have had some trouble locating any information on this issue. Thanks!!
Its been a very bittersweet evening...
I think it is trackball issues. Test this out when you reboot.
I noticed my trackball doesn't go down anymore rendering Amon's Recovery useless.
Just got root a few minutes ago too lol.. FML

were you having trackball issues before ? (my phone has them) if so it makes it hard to use amon ....but it will usually work if I do not have the usb cord plugged in
I've searched but can't seem to come up with any other way to control the recovery without using the trackball..

Tried unplugging the USB and rebooting.. still can't get the trackball to go down.
I'm having the same trackball control issues. My trackball works fine once booted into "normal user" mode. Several reboots have not fixed the problem.
I've been searching to see if I can do everything from the adb recovery shell. All of the commands seem to be there (wipe, flash_image, etc) I just need to find the right usage of the scripts.
EDIT: I take that back, I AM having trackball issues in normal mode. I rarely use it.

Did that too... Its funny that we've gotten so far on this root, but now are stuck with a useless recovery image. I have rebooted several times, USB in and out, and all have resulted in the same end situation.
I am continuing to search it out, and will keep this posted on any ideas.
I know there have been some issues with alternate recovery images, but have there been any developments? (its something I have not been entirely following)
Edit: So this may be completely ridiculous, but I noticed when I leaned on the USB cable, the cursor moved down. If you continue to "jiggle" the cable a bit, it will move down. This is most certainly not a permanent fix, and most likely a sign of some damage but it got the job done. More detailed, I pulled the cable out a millimeter or two, and tilted it downward. With some practice, I could move it the three clicks down and initiate the root.
Additionally, I found this, but haven't tested it myself yet

Thanks but this won't work. Does any one know of anyway to push a root ROM through ADB while in recovery? There has to be a way to do this..
Ok, so I can load ROMS using Clockworks recovery using the Vol Up/Down to navigate.
I cleaned mine using a piece of paper and shaking it up and down on the paper.

i have the same issue as well but i use my USB cable to fix it. Try holding at different angles while scrolling until you find the right one. "I Believe" that the trackball issue is from moving the phone too much with the charger plugged in. Once i noticed while my phone is plugged in that it would go haywire i realized that had to be part of it.(from my experience at least)
I also have the trackball issue
I have found 2 work arounds: 1. Jiggle the usb cable.
2. Apply pressure to the left of the trackball, between it and the call button, with your left hand and use your right hand to move the trackball. In other words, pinch the phone in that spot (thumb between call button and trackball, fingers on the back of the phone).
Weird, but it works.

If you can get the trackball for even a little while, go through with this:

I had the same problem. I jiggled the cord till it went to backup/restore then trackball worked when i was at my backup list. replacement phone will be here tomorrow so I'm returning this one to stock before i send it back. Not taking any chances

screw all this crap
flash the 2.1 ruu (will lose root and put phone back to factory) and take your phone back and get a new one

sometimes my trackball in amons recovery is sluggish or doesn;t move at all. If I wait a few seconds it'll eventually wake up and start working. boot into recovery again, wait a few seconds then see if it starts moving. Also i found having low battery didn't help things. Make sure your charged up!
ive searched for things such as "sleep crash", "sleep bug", "screen wont turn on" etc. but can seem to find anything that tells me anything other than turn off wifi (which i tried to no avail). My issue is that when i press the power button for 1 second to turn off my archos 70 screen it will not turn back on. Same thing happens when i let it fall asleep. If i leave it plugged in and not allow it to turn off screen i have no issues. My apologies if i just don't know what words to search for ... i tried. In on the .4 firmware (latest) with no mods. This has happened through the last 3 firmwares from archos. Any ideas?
Have a you tried a full reinitialization (in settings > repair and formatting) and then reinstalling the latest firmware? If you have just been updating the firmware, the problem may have been deeper.
Thats strange... I have a similar issue with my 101: when i leave my tablet asleep for more than 20min, I can't turn it back on without doing a hard reset. Now it only happens when I simply shut off the screen and leave it alone. If I hold the power button and use deep sleep though, it works just fine. When I can't get it started I notice the little power light is on, but the screen stays black... any suggestions??
I have read somewhere in this forums that re-calibrating your screen from Settings might help, but I still didn't tied - if someone try please post results.

i had the same problem on my 32, albeit not that frequently. Downloading the FW and reflashing it seems to have made the problem go away.
You know what? Strangely enough after I replied to your post I downloaded the latest fw (2.1.4) and the problem seems to have gone away no special flash no repair I just installed and rebooted and so far no prob... I will keep testing this and post results
Edit* Ok so far so good... no problems. I'm actually surprised I'm getting better response from the device despite everyone's warnings about 2.1.4. But that's another topic. I think its just a bad install of your current FW, but I'm just guessing... My device has had the issue since I got it, I just decided to live with it but like I said the latest update fixed it... So it HAS to be the FW

err I'm afraid that I spoke too soo. My device keeps getting stuck and won't awake from sleep. This seems to happen most after switching wifi on or off, specifically whilst the device is playing music.

how are you installing the firmware? maybe im doing it wrong. I let the device update to latest 2.1.4 and then i wiped it via the settings and repair menu in android.
Edit**
like this??:
Step 1: Download the android 2.2 firmware for your archos tablet from here,you might a get a false positive notification from your browser as they are unaware of .AOS format, so ignore that and download it.
Step 2:Go to Menu > Settings > Device Storage & USB connection > USB connection mode of your tablet and set the connection mode to Mobile Media Device (MTP) and now connect your Tablet to pc.
Step 3:Now when the tablet is detected you will see a hard drive icon,double tap and open it and copy and paste the firmware (.AOS) file into the hard drive(make sure you dont copy it in any folder inside it like Music,Videos etc).
Unplug the USB connection and the Archos device will automatically locate the update file and will prompt you for the update,just follow the screen options and you are done,if it does not prompt you for an update then you might have accidentally misplaced the file in one of the folders,just locate the .AOS file from the file manager and and open it to start the update.
No no it wasn't that complicated... It was actually the simplest fix for a difficult problem. My device when I got it was running 2.1.2 out the box... Even then It had the screen problem. When I got the chance I installed 2.1.3 OVER THE AIR. Straight from Archos. Still had the issue though, I figured it would have been fixed but was greatly disappointed... Then I sort of just lived with the problem for awhile... I saw that the 2.1.4 update was released but was wary about downloading it because sooo many people are having issues. Just the other day though, the device cut off on me again and I figured to hell with it... So I downloaded the 2.1.4 OTA as well... no website, no manual install, I just let the device run its course on its own. After the update, it rebooted normally and it's been working great since... Sorry to hear not everyone is so fortunate... I really hope this helps somewhat
Whilst in download mode, my S2 makes a clicking sound!
Anybody else get this? Or am I going mad
Your not going mad, I've noticed it as well. It seems to happen when using an app like quickboot or CWM Manager to reboot into recovery/download. Using the extended power controls theres no clicking.

Yes, I think you are spot on! Used CWM Manager to get into download to flash a new fw, and heard the clicks. Used manual method to enter download mode to re-apply cf-root & didn't hear it.
Guess I can't phone in sick at work tomorrow now then due to dementia! lol
Cheers mate
i heard the same thing. i thought it's the static somewhere near the usb connector. was gonna send in for service until i saw this post. can we get rid of it somehow? it's very annoying
Yes even I hear the sound while booting to recovery mode from CWM Manager. But i think its nothing to panic since S2 has no moving parts like HDD. Its some static produced through speakers I guess...
Nope, not static! Just clicking. It's fine, nothing to worry about. It's just lots of little gnome workers wearing tap shoes having to change direction each time you decide to change ROM. Think little relays resetting - why should it be annoying? It's rather endearing to me! Like an old analogue power station...
the clicking sound is actually the camera shutter that's programmed to open at every boot; the sound is normal and nothing to worry about
Hello,
About two months ago I factory resetted and fully recharged my Acer Liquid MT.
Didn't use it for quite a while, but recently I wanted to but apparently the battery was empty meanwhile.
Charged it for hours but it didn't go on anymore (tried most basic stuff: changing battery, reset button etc)
Didn't show 'any sign of life' however. No screen, no sound, nothing at all.
Yesterday I did hold the Power Button and both Volume Buttons for a few seconds and it quickly vibrated a few times + one (normal) vibrate afterwards.
I think it isn't completely bricked since it did vibrate.
However, how am I going to be able to get this thing working again?
Many thanks in advance!
PS: Rooted, no custom ROM.
Edit
Forgot to mention, but my PC doesn't detect the phone anymore when connected to USB ...
i'm sorry...
it sounds your phone is bricked... i don't know how u could fix it

It needs good charging as the battery has drained completely and will take time , may be couple of days. If it doesn't fix the problem then take it to a mobile shop and ask them to power charge it. It will fix the problem. I had the same issue with this phone...

Or just hit the Windows Key (next to Alt by the Spacebar) + the letter R together then type : devmgmt.msc and hit enter.
When the Device Manager is open and you plug in the device, you should see it blink out for a sec and reload and show you the device - probably will see a yellow warning symbol next to it - if so that means the PC sees it, just not loading the correct driver.
I have a stock LG Power. I recently factory reset my phone. After I finished the initial setup, my home and recent app buttons didn't work, and my notification bar wouldn't pull down. I researched it a little and found out that the reason was because the phone was still stuck in setup mode. So I force closed the Lgsetup, and everything worked except the home button. So, I rebooted the phone. Now it just brings up the setup every time the phone reboots. Everything is still entered, I don't have to do anything other than hit next. I don't know what else to do, help?
