When you say that you keep pressing, do you mean holding it down or press, release, press, release, press, release....? You should do the last :laugh:
I realy hope you one day succeeds. Maaaan your handset is under an evil spell :fingers-crossed:

I don't think so. The okay is the power button..... At least on the Vibrant. On other phones it's the okay or enter button on the keyboard but never the home or back buttons. As a matter of fact the back button does what it's supposed to. Just my 2 cents.

The OP might be screwed at this point. Unless you can remap the keys in recovery?

Dude, did you not read his entire post or do you just not understand ebonics?
HIS POWER BUTTON IS GONE!!! If you have ever flashed a rom before with clockworkmod, you would know that the "Power" button is the Ok button, which he doesn't have anymore.

Have you done anything to the file systems? Do you think it will still boot with just a hard reset? You can reset if its been rooted with adb. Do you have the sdk installed on your computer? If not, install the android sdk from the code.google site, and find an adb tutorial on this forum with the search tool..

I can 100% fix this for you. I have a few extra buttons in stock. If you send me the phone, I can solder you on a brand new one. You are not screwed...
Just PM me if you are interested....
Hi all,
I would like to know how to restart or reboot SGS2 like what we do in windows phones. I am not talking about factory reset just restart...

Flash a rom which has advanced power menu then select reboot after pressing power button. (most roms have this)
Or there is an app called quick boot or fast boot something like that. You can reboot using that as well.

a million thanks, that's what I was looking for.
I have tried it. The phone was off but it never boot again. Just stay off. Am I making any mistake? Whenever I press and hold the power button, on the screen will appear several choices, one of them is the power off. But I just ignored it and keep pressing the power button.

+1, the phone does not reboot, just switches off. Need to power up again!
Push and HOLD all together: Volume up, on/off and Menu Key.
After some seconds it reboots (still hold the keys) and it runs in a selection menu. Here you can select " Warmstart" or clear cache before and then do a Warmstart.
Nothing will be destroyed, because its NOT a Factory reset (Coldstart).
???? Some crazy suggestions here.
Anyway, get SwitchPro widget (from the Market). There's a reboot button in it that pops up a menu for reboot, download or recovery.
It needs root to work. Any software method of rebooting your device will need root.

Okay, in that case, you need to use the power menu that you have to turn the phone off, and turn it back on again.

Which phone are these options on???
Warmstart ?? or do you just mean reboot which is the same as powering phone off and then on via power button and avoids recovery menu .

Hi.
I was wondering if there is a way to boot into recovery, or get into the recovery when the phone is off. I've done a lot of searching, but the ways described will not work (power on with left and right key under the display pressed down)
Does anyone have any solid knowledge on this? It would be much appreciated.

U have to turn on phone and (if u have doomkernel) keep pressing back when blue led appears. If not just keep pressing back when u turn on till it appears (it's not back and menu at same time it either or and menu won't do anything unless u have doomkernel
Sent from my X10 using XDA
I could be wrong but as I understand it you must have power from the device in order to access recovery as recovery is either in kernel (ubl) or on nand,, both can only be supplied power from the handset, you cannot use them like an external drive.

Laneyofdeath: thank you, it worked. Strange that this information is so hard to find. Anyways, i appreciate it
And for the other reply, i know i need power, but i wanted to boot into recovery from off status. Perhaps i did not explain myself good enough.
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Not sure what u mean pal. Do u mean boot to recovery whilst device is switched off?
Sent from my X10 using XDA
There are just no button combinations for recovery for the X10.
The only way to get into recovery is to spam the back(xrec)/volume down(cwm) when the kernel boot screen lights up.
What i meant was to get into recovery from when the device is off. And power + hit backbutten when le wild blue light appears worked ;-) thank you guys for your help

solution for Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10i with Recovery menu
turn off the phone then turn it on and keep toggling between the up and the down volume button
works for x10i
For those users that are unlocked, this app will give you a boot menu.

Long pressing the power will do a hard reboot, used if phone were to become froze and unresponsive.I can't answer your question on how you would change that function.

I guess I mean medium press? The one that brings up the menu of what you'd like to do, shutdown shutdown and restart, etc. Well before it just shuts off from holding it down.
Works perfectly!

You know, like on all the aosp and cyanogen ROM's. Push the power button and you get the option to boot to recovery, download mode, restart, shut off, etc...

I have been using this app for almost 2 years. Grab the app "Swipepad" and its probably the quickest way to reboot or boot to recovery

I disagree, if you are using The Base this is the quickest way to reboot to recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035273
Hey guys, I just got my rooted and S-Off'd DNA! I checked and it has root and I checked and it is S-Off. The phone came to me with Torrented's ROM on it. But when I hold the volume up button and the power button, it won't boot into recovery. I get the white HTC splash screen and then it reboots again into the splash screen again. If I let go, it will reboot into the phone like normal.
Am I doing something wrong? There should be a custom recovery installed already correct?
Thanks!

That worked, thanks a ton! Damn, I feel dumb lol.
I also noticed that if you have the fast boot/shutdown option checked that it is harder to get into the bootloader.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
For anyone else coming through, you should disable fast boot to get into recovery. Also, when in doubt, use adb: "adb reboot bootloader"
Booting Into Recovery
OOR, you can turn off phone completly, then turn back on as you hear the first vibrate-let go of power, then hold Volume down. (Sameo Samo...:fingers-crossed
Or, he can get a Note2.
I have fastboot selected and access bootloader everytime by holding power button, capacitive buttons flash and pop up counts down to reboot, as soon as the pop up comes up continue to hold power down and press and hold vol down till bootloader is displayed
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
If you have adb set up, a simple way to do this is to just run "adb reboot recovery"
