hold power button along with volume +/- when you see samsung logo release only the power button, then once logo disappears release volume buttons..that should get you into CWM. once you have it all set up, you may want to try TWRP instead of CWM.
TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647575
Also ...
Depending on the version of CWM..it uses the double tap style to function ....making you push each area twice to toggle it ..
Then to go back to the previous screen you use the back arrow at the device bottom ..
The koush touch method is only one touch ....
Good luck brother ...
We're here for ya ...g

ok i just got an atrix and im aa bit uncertain about booting into CWM. i know on other phones ive had, i had to boot up with volume down and power. i tried that and nothing works, boots up like normal. tried volume up and power to. my bootloader should be unlocked, the boot screen that says motorola dual core says unlocked in the corner. CWM is installed, i flashed gapps, cuz the person i got it from forgot to put them on. any idea on how i can fix this?
(Download Rom Manager & install the cwm from itif your cwm is not working?)
Power + volume down takes you to the options, there you need to scroll down (with volume down) and use volume up for choosing android recovery.

Strange.. Are you keeping volume down pressed until you would have seen the options, you're not letting go before that or so? Is the volume rocker still functioning ok?
Otherwise just try quick boot from the market.

im holding it in until i see the logo, and yes the rocker is working properly. and i know i can boot into recovery by other means while the phone is on but what if i get a bootloop. i wouldnt be able to fix it, unless i had a computer with me so i could use adb to enter recovery

Hold power and volume down, keep holding volume down until you see the word fastboot appear. Then press the volume down button (7 times I think), until you see android recovery, then press the volume up button.
That should do it!

I never see it say fastboot, it just says unlocked up in the corner. All the time, when I'm not even trying to boot to recovery. I'm assuming that means the bootloader iis unlocked. But I do exactly what you guys are saying and I never see fastboot or anything like that

Something must have gotten messed up when you flashed a rom.. I'd say try flashing a fruitcake and start from there.

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.

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:

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
my galaxy note is able to show "samsung galaxy..." wordings when booting up. However, the LCD then becomes blank screen. nothing shows..
i use it pretty normal. no ROOT, no flashing custom ROM on it.
the Note has the following characteristics:
1. it is able to light up when i press button "menu" and "back"
2. it is able to give sound "beep" when pressing "volume up/down" button
3. i try to enter recovery mode (press "vol down + home + power") , just show "samsung galaxy..." wordings , then blank screen again..
right now, i really don't know what i can do..
any suggestions?
thankx for all firstly...

Take battery out, put it back in, press power and volume down, when you see the samsung writing let go of the power button but do not let go of the volume down button. When you see that it goes to download mode let go of the volume key. If you are able to do this, you are fine. Use kias to flash the update again or download from the dev forum. Let us know if you can put your phone on download mode so we can tell you what to do next. GL

If you are able to get in to dl mode, then you are basically out of the woods. You can flash via Odin or Kies.

Hey everybody
A few days ago i rooted my phone with CF-Root and installed the Super Nexus Rom Stable 1. It run really
fast and worked great :good:
This morning I saw that the second version released. So I downloaded it and also the gapps again. But after installing i recognized
that the screen flashed and the rom didn't run smooth.I decided to roll it back with my backup.
But after starting the backup, the screen got black. I waited 30 minutes, then i took the battery out of my smartphone. As I put it back and started my phone
again, i just saw a purple screen. No samsung logo or somthing else. after 2 minutes i saw the status bar at the top, but the rest of the screen kept purple. I tried to bring it in download mode, but the screen is always purple and odin don't recognize the phone.
Please help me

No, i think i should buy one.
I think my problem is that the phone gets into the Download Mode. But at the s3 we have to confirm that we really want to get into this mode.
I think i just hang at this screen, but can't check the right box, cause i just see the purple screen
Get I immediatly into the Download Mode with a jig, or have i also to check the accept button?
charge phone via pc for sumtime then try to enter in downlaod mode
Just because the screen is purple/black doesnt mean that phone is not in download mode.
If you hold the combo buttons to get into download mode but cant see the screen where it says press up to go into download mode just wait a sec and press up anyway.
then plug your phone up to odin.....it may still be able to go into download mode even though you are SEEING the screen.

But instead to see any content the folder is absolutly empty. Bad sign??? Or good sign that i can connect it?
I start it again with the 3 key combo in Debug Mode. I think i'm in cause if i connect it again to the pc nothing happened. Odin also doesn't recognized the phone

You should return it to stock with a full flash give me a sec I'll grab a link this will restore everything. You then should go into recovery volume up middle button and power and do a full wipe to make sure you get everything out as odin doesn't do that it will only override what is there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
Download file from there and just to make sure we are talking international gt-i9300 CORRECT? The file is big like 750 megs it contains stock everything and will restore the entire device to stock. It will not erase the on board store partitioned for the SD heck it doesn't erase anything just overrides.

Doesn't sound like a hardware brick. After you flash the stock again if you still have the purple screen let me know and i'll find the button combo so you can wipe the data as there could still be something lingering that could cause that. And don't be to worried you have a colored screen that's not too bad it's when you get nothing no matter what that you should get very scared

Yeah that's what I thought so last thing
Pull battery
Hold Volume UP Middle Button and Power Button for ten seconds
wait like another 20 seconds then press volume down twice then press power after a min press power again with any luck this will do a full wipe for you. It is blind but I did confirm on my phone the times it takes.
Edit
After you volume down twice and then press power volume down three times and press power again then wait ten seconds and press power a last time. The third press is to wipe the cache which is the problem I bet.
Was there any info about GPU overclocking/volting on that custom rom you installed? I mean on that version 2.
For me this sounds like that your graphical chip on the phone might have damaged.

It could be but lets not scare the dude yet. I have had many phones do blue and purple screens just as he describes it is generally a bad flash or file or forgetting to wipe. I do not think at this point we are looking at a bad GPU. I have also had this phone give me weird colored screen flashed upon starting or going into recovery that had to do with a improper restore.
