I was wondering, is there anyway to access recovery from my phone without my computer hooked up. I was just wondering about flashing a mod, and didn't want to have to use my computer.

Pull ur battery, put in back in, wait about 15 sec the hold power and volume down at the same time. Select recovery from the list of options

Or since you're on a custom ROM with the power menu... Just hold Power until the reboot menu pops up > choose Restart > choose Recovery.
No battery pull necessary.

Fast boot is turned on for me and it still works... I haven't turned fast boot off, and I've booted into both bootloader and recovery from the reboot menu in the OS.

If a custom rom, just hold power then select restart..then recovery . Otherwise, pull battery then reinsert and press power while holding volume down.

Already posted that, and since his XDA app sig is "sent from ViperRez" I assumed he was already on a custom ROM that has said menu .

Hi all i think i have bricked my aria, the power button doesnt work and my cm7 rom crashed and i dont know/cant get into recovery i can get into the stock recovery but to use it you need to use the power button to select options. any ideas? thanks
If you have CM7 installed you don't have stock recovery anymore, you have Clockwork Recovery instead. What version of Clockwork are you using? Newer versions use the trackball to select, you could try that.
Maybe you're confusing "stock recovery" with the bootloader screen. If that's the case, try installing the Android SDK w/ ADB on your computer and using the USB connection to run the command adb reboot recovery.

It must be since the stock recovery is erased with CWM in order to be able to flash the rom.
Have phone off and plug into wall USB. Should go into cwm, right?

It can't be stock recovery you got into. It must be CWM recovery you got into since the stock recovery is erased once CWM is flashed. This had to be done for you to install CM7. Have you experienced problems with your power button before your rom crashed? And how exactly did it crash?

Yes. So he has version 2.5.0.1.
Hi thx for all your help. Yes it is the bootloader sorry i was confused, the rom crashed a long time after power button broke and im unable to get into cwm do you normally hold down and power on?

I'm still a little confused at to your situation. Is your phone currently off or on? If your power button doesn't work, how did you access the bootloader?
Anyway yes, normally holding down and power on will take you to the bootloader, at which point you can select recovery. If your phone is currently off and the power button doesn't work, you have two options:
1. As andrew.cambridge suggested, plug the phone into the charger. That should bring up clockwork unless you have an off-mode charging version
2. Use ADB to send a recovery command from your computer

Don't edit your post to say something completely different when you realize you were wrong. At least use strikethrough and add the correction.
sorry what is strikethrough? what should i have done? i can get my phone on by plugging charger in then putting battery in but it goes into the bootloader i think but it has an option for recovery but i cant select it
What you need to do is turn off the phone completely (do a battery pull or whatever you do to turn it all the way off). When off, put the battery back in (if it is not in already). Then plug your phone into the wall charger while it is STILL OFF. This should prompt it to go into ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM).
I would redownload your whatever ROM you are planning to use and the correlating version of gapps (Google Apps) to your computer. Unplug your USB from the wall charger and plug it into your computer. In CWM, use the trackball to go to the mounts and storage option and press the trackball to select, then go down to the mount USB tab and click it. This will mount your SD card to your computer. You can then transfer the zip files of your newly downloaded ROM and Gapps to your phone. Once finished transferring, click the mount USB option again to unmount it from the computer. Then you need to click go back.
Now you need to do a full wipe. Click wipe data/factory reset then yes. Once done, click wipe cache partition, then yes. Once done, click on mounts and storage and you need to click format system, then yes. Once done, click format data, then yes. Once done, click format cache, then yes. Once done, click format sd-ext (if it exists), then yes.
Now you need to install your ROM and gapps. Click install zip from sdcard and navigate to your ROM zip file, click it, then yes. Once done, do the same for your gapps zip file.
Now you need to click the reboot system now button. It will take a little bit for it to boot, so give it plenty of time. This should get you back on your feet.

Also, STAria was referring to the user Theonew, with regards to the strikethrough and add correction statement.
Thanks for your reply, No luck with that unfortunately when i do that nothing happens. If i plug the charger in then put the battery in the phone turns on but just goes to the cyanogen screen and stays there

That's the bootanimation. Have you tried letting it sit there for like 10 minutes?
Does it ever actually boot into CM7?
Ok. Try connecting your phone to your computer and use ADB to boot your phone into recovery.

When you say it gets stuck, do you mean that the arrow stops moving and it just stays there or the animation just keeps going and CM7 never actually loads out? Anyways, this happened to me before and all I had to do was a full wipe/reset and reflash the rom. Everything went well after that. Did you follow ALL the instructions given in post #11? This should have fixed the problem.
it stays on that screen forever if i let it, also all i get is cannot find device when i try and adb into it. What state does your phone need to be in to use adb?
Do you have the phone drivers installed on your computer?

I applied the steelblue theme from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042365
After applying in CWM, I rebooted, but I am stuck on the reboot screen.
What do I do now?
If it helps, I accidentally ran the theme on 2.3.4 when I'm pretty sure it was meant for the older version of android.
I only realized until later, and by then it was too late.

Are you able to boot to recovery, and flash a backup?.....hopefully you at least installed clockwork and made a backup first.

Power off phone > hold power button and volume down button together and hold it until "fastboot" appears > as soon as you see "fastboot" appear ..use volume rockers to scroll through list and select "android recovery"...IF you made a backup ..install your back up. But since you're asking how to get into recovery...pretty you didn't make a backup ..did you?

Actually I just did.
Just now, my atrix randomly booted into recovery mode(looks like this: http://atrix4ghacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/atrix-4g-clockworkmod-recovery-6-300x257.jpg) , so the first thing i did was make a backup. But is there any way to just boot into the normal unthemed state from here?
I tried to select rebooting, but it still booted into Steel Blue. So i took the battery out and turned it back on and did some random stuff until it booted back into CWM. Can I somehow unflash the Steel Blue theme and boot back to the normal state? I know, its probably a stupid question. But I'm pretty new, so I dont really know what I'm doing. :|
I bought this phone a couple weeks ago, already rooted and on a stock rom , the radios and everything else is flashed for cricket.
My question is, how can I find out if I have an unlocked bootloader and a recovery installed?
May sound like a stupid question, but I'm still new for Motorola, so I'm not used to having a locked boot . My thinking is that it must be unlocked if the phone is fully flashed to cricket.
Turn the phone off and turn it back on. At the top it will say unlocked if it's unlocked. To find if it has a custom recovery turn the phone off and hold the volume down and power until you see fastboot. Then use the volume down button until you see android recovery then press volume up to enter recovery. If it goes to recovery you're good if not then it doesn't. But it will only have a custom recovery if it was unlocked before.

If you have CWM recovery you shouldn't have to hit up. You should be able to just hold power and volume down and it'll boot straight into recovery. :]

Unless somone makes a flashable zip, currently no. Until I flashed a custom rom I used terminal emulator for 'su' then 'reboot'.
A lot more work but it gets the job done.

Stock Nexus ROMs never had a reboot option. You can only get it via a ROM or some mod.
There is a reboot option on stock. You need to press and hold power button for about 6 seconds.

I meant in the power menu. Is that method a safe method? I feel like it's the same as holding the power button for 10 seconds on a PC. It turns off but it doesn't save anything.
It is the same only without a widget or something else xd
