I need to flash a new rom, i was using MIUI but my phone is now stuck on the torch screen (even after pulling batter, it goes right back to torch). My issue is that i can flash a new rom or load a nanodroid because my volume rocker does not work. I can get into CWM through the power options on the phone but i can navigate inside CWM. Anyone have any suggestions?

If there isnt a custom touch recovery for your phone, you can always grab the screwdriver, open up your phone and see if there is crud built up inside the volume rockers. Happened on our landline phones, some numbers wouldnt work, so my dad opened it and cleaned it out. Worked really good

I just rooted my Samsung Vibrant and the guy who rooted it put Froyo 2.2 rom on it. When I try try to boot into recovery using rom manager or 3 button , the green clockwork recovery does not work. The buttons do not do anything and I have to get my cellphone charger out just to get it to log out of recovery. How can I fix this. I was thinking of using SGS kernal flasher and flashing the voodoo kernal. Then going from there. The green recovery is all that shows up. And it does nothing you can't click on any of the buttons. How can I fix? Thanks
So you did flash the voodoo kernel with kernel flasher app? or you havent yet?
Either way, I would almost want to say that if you are having that kind of issue, it might be beneficial to just go back to stock with ODIN (flashes completely to stock), then look into putting a rom on yourself. it sounds like you already know how to in a sense.
and when you say you cant click anything, I'm going to assume you dont mean touching the screen, but you are using the volume up and down to scroll and power button to select it, right?
just wanted to ask to make sure you know you cant use the touchscreen there. You probably already know this though, so sorry if my assuming made an "ass of u and me" hahahaha love that joke
ps. also try posting in the Vibrant forum on the main forum screen ( http://forum.xda-developers.com ) rather than just general.
Help fixing phone.
when I am in the green recovery none of the buttons work, I can't use the volume buttons, or the camera buttons, none of them work. It's like it's there but you can't do anything in recovery. I was thinking of using the sgs kernal flashing and flash voodoo, then I think I can use the voodoo clockwork recovery to flash a new rom, or reboot. It does not matter if I use rom manager, or I hold the two volume buttons down, it's both green. I don't even need to push the power button, just holding the two volume buttons boots me into the green recovery. then I am stuck and the only way out of it is too hook up the charger and turn the phone off and it will go back into regular mode. If I don't hook up charger your just stuck in recovery with no way out.

Do you know how the guy rooted it? What kernel he flashed, if any?

Sounds like something was flashed wrong or was corrupt.
What you should do is just boot up your phone and get "Titanium Backup" app to backup your apps (only 3rd party ones, not stock ones)
1. Then plug it into your computer and copy over some files like the titanium backup folder, your contacts, pics, videos, etc.
2. Then use ODIN v 1.7 to flash back to stock. (its very very easy. its like a one click thing.)
3. Get SuperOneClick Root. its a computer app that roots your phone. (again, super super super easy.)
4. Then choose a rom you like. I'd reccommend going with a 2.2 rom because they are the most reliable at the moment. (I use Trigger Rom 3.1 under the ~~Einherjar Dev Team~~ section in 2.2 roms. very good rom)
5. Flash that rom using the Rom manager / Clockwork recovery mode
6. then of course, plug the phone into your computer and add all your stuff back on and get titanium backup again and put all your apps back on as well
pretty much all custom roms are pre-rooted and de-bloated and everything. so you'd have everything you need.
EVERYTHING you need is in This Thread. that thread has all the links to ODIN, SuperOneClick root, and all roms and the how-to guides!
Do all this, and you will be quite happy with your custom Vibrant
recently soft bricked my new AT&T S2.I have clockwork recovery installed (4.0.0.2), and the only buttons that work are home (goes back to the first menu), volume up/down, and power to hide the menus. I can't select anything at all, it seems like I have the international version of the recovery, not one for the S2.Anyways, I can't get into download mode by holding down the home + Vol up+ power, and Odin can't seem to connect to my phone if it's in clockwork recovery and not download mode.Would the jig work? Or is having no ability to boot into download mode pretty much a killer? I can access my phone through ADB, I just don't know my way around adb as well as I would like.Is there any way to flash a different recovery via ADB? Any other solutions to get my phone up and running again? Because right now it's not booting at all.
EDIT: Managed to get back into the system. It's running the International ROM instead of mine though, so the buttons are wonky. Does anyone know where I can find the ODIN files to flash back to stock AT&T S2?

:facepalm:
First off, that's not how you get into download mode. Turn the phone off, hold both VOLUME BUTTONS ONLY, and plug in the USB cable.
With my phone, If I hold down both volume buttons and power on, it goes to clockwork recovery. If I turn the phone on holding the volume up and the home button, it goes to download (now).
I fixed that issue already though, the problem at hand is that I have the i9100 boot and firmware on here, and need the stock Odin files to fix. Can't find the files though. : /

WOW DISREGARD - too stupid to realize soft buttons work with CWM recovery. They didn't before...very premature post, my apologies
For the bootloop, I selected Advanced in CWM recovery, and then selected "Fix permissions" then I installed update from SD card. Now it works! Back to being a noob and hating my life.
-----------
I seem to have bricked my phone too...I was using ROM manager to install cm9 update (yeah, I NOW know I should not have used ROM manager). I used ODIN to re-flash cwm recovery enabled kernel. I can go to recovery, but it does not let me select any of the menu options. And when I boot the phone, it still sends me into a bootloop.
One time it did say "signature verification failed" but it doesn't say that anymore, it just doesn't move. I've read around about signature verification issues, but I haven't found anything that gets me anywhere.
I know this is pretty noobish, but I really appreciate any help!
HELP!!! I installed shostock rom that worked well for sometime….however yesterday when I went running, I was listening to audio and at the same time I was using an app called Mapmyrun, The phone then suddenly just died. No matter what I pressed it wouldn’t come on. Eventually it did come back on after I pressed the volume up button along with the power button and the home button together and at the same time putting the battery back in. Since then I can’t make a call without using the speaker and while trying to play audio, the audio sticks. I decided I needed to reinstall rom or even try a new one but discovered the phone will not boot into clock work mod. When I try the phone just goes dead again and I then have to do the whole volume up button along with the power button and the home button together and at the same time putting the battery back in again. How do I get CWM again so I can wipe?
So holding down the power button doesn't pull up the boot to Recovery option?
What version of Shostock are you running?
XWLP7-SHOstock2-v2.2.2
Now I've actually got it to go to cmw by holding volume up and down together while pressing the home button and replacing the battery simultaneously. When Itry to reboot however it just goes dead and I have to do the whole process again. How do I get it to reboot?

What phone do you have?
EDIT: XWLP7? I9100?
You're flashing a I777 rom on a I9100?
Alright, you get closer.
At first you said you lost CwMR, then you described how to get into CwMR a totally wrong way, then you got in CwMR eventually.
I suggest you spend time and read more on those threads created by creepy. He shows you everything from how to get into the Download mode, how to get into the 3e, .......
Also, fundamental thing, do list your device info if you want more useful help.
Back to your stage, you said you got into CwMR successfully, then reboot???
Have you done anything when you got there? reflashing? wiping? ...... or just got there and reboot and did nothing else?
So I decided to go ahead and root my player. Then I found this custom rom and followed their instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517194
It keeps on bootlooping my device, and even though installed steves kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377771
(which contains CWM) I cannot boot CWM recovery from boot.
It booted up a few times in CWM recovery, but now it doesnt want to. Since then ive tryed flashing steves kernal sveral times to see if I can get it to work. It hasn't.
I really just want to get my device back to stock, I have a stock rom but it still gets stuck in a bootloop.
Help!

I figued out how to get into recovery mode (power button + hold up volume). Now to figure out how to fix the bootloop....(I tried followign th instructions here but to no avail: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660596)
FIXED
OK i managed to fix my own problem. I installed steves kernel, cleared the cash and the dalvik-cache. Then I flashed the stock rom and wiped all data(reset the factory settings) and then cleared the cashe.
Then my device booted up properly. :good:
Glad to hear you fixed it

You get into Clockwork mod by turning off the device. Then Hold power, Volume up, and the settings (the one to the left of the home button) at the same time. Sometimes you have to let go when the samsung logo appears and then hold it again

could you give more incorrect info, the CORRECT steps for entering CWM (or stock if not using a custom kernel) is to power device completely off, wait for the vibrate to indicate shutdown. Then press and hold volume up and the power button, once the samsung logo comes on release only the power button, do not release the volume up, continue holding volume up until CWM loads.

On my 4.0 US I don't hold the volume any longer than the power button to get into CWM--i.e., I let both go at the samsung logo, and it goes in.

That's how I always entered CWM or the stock one lol. It works for me. Also another way I did it was wait until the samsung logo appears and then hold power + volume up at the same time. I didn't let go of either the power button or volume up button, and just waited for it to come on.
Next time for a better result Go to a stock rom and Flash a kernel with odin. best way to Install CWM perfectly.
like Terra Silet, i have Gplayer 4 and Rooted This Kernel One Milion time
So, I unlocked and rooted my phone earlier and was looking for a rom to install. I downloaded one and installed it, but then it would get stuck on the boot screen of the rom. I realized after that, I had gotten it from an ATT forum for roms and I have a Verizon phone. I've tried to hold down power + volume up, power + volume down, power + volume up + volume down ... I've tried it on just the battery and with it plugged in, but it continues to just go to the boot screen and sitting there. Is there anything I can do?
This can be deleted ... Just found out it needed to be power + volume up + home key.
Ok .... Still having issues
I have tried multiple roms and I'm not making it past the boot screen on any
LiquidSmooth - The "Galaxy 2" initial screen would start jumping around everywhere and then just go black.
JellyBeans - Wouldn't even install.
Jedi - Just sits on the boot logo
Downloading MeanBean now.

Do you know which recovery and version you are using? You may want/need to upgrade...worth a shoot anyways
I'm sure you already have tried this but I am not going to assume that you have. Did you wipe EVERYTHING, excluding external sd card?
Or, a better option my be to download a stock verizon rom, flash it with Odin and then reunlock and reroot.
