I own a generic tablet with either CWM on TWRP. However for both versions of recovery the touch screen does not work.
Previously I was able to navigate through recovery using the volume buttons. However, in a rather unfortunate turn of events, I broke the volume buttons and now I am unable to navigate through CWM anymore to flash my roms.
I did some reading on sideloading zip files but that would still require me to toggle sideload mode in CWM which would require the use of the volume buttons!
This device cannot boot into fastboot mode.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can flash a rom?

Please forgive if this have been answered before.
Is it possible to enter CVM Recovery directly in boot.. Not via CWM Manager?
Like on Xperia X10 you can press multiple times on the back button to enter xRecovery.
The reason I am asking this ridicilous question is that I am feeling ready to try a custom ROM, but if I mess something up, i.e. bootloop, phone stuck, etc. it is nice to get into recovery and install a backup (I NEVER install a custom ROM without a new backup - did it once - never again ).
Power off and then power on again whilst holding home and volume up. That enters recovery, or clockwork recovery if you have it.
Do the same, but with volume down to enter download mode (for flashing with the likes of Odin).

So I installed this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200985) a few days ago w/o much trouble. Today I updated the ROM to version 2.4 (first used wipe.zip and then the rom). When I rebooted my tab I got stuck at a bootloop (the ROM's logo keeps showing up) and it seems I'm unable to get into recovery.
AFAIK, I should get into recovery by pressing the VOLUME UP & and the power button simultaneously, but nothing happens when I do this. Getting into fastboot isn't a problem, but I just can't seem to get into recovery mode.
Can I access my recovery menu through the fastboot via the SDK manager? Did I use the correct buttons to get into recovery?
Thanks in advance
You should push on both Power Button and Volume Down buttons. Right after the Samsung logo shows, you will see two menus, let go of both buttons immediately and choose your recovery boot. i hope this will help your problem
Hi,
I had rooted my phone and was using a custom rom with android 2.3.7. Since the phone was lagging and slow, i though of downgrading to 2.1 OTA.
I flashed a 2.1 OTA file via the recovery mode. Now the phone is not booting up and also not entering the recovery mode. While trying to enter the recovery mode, a RED TRIANGLE and an exclamation mark is what is showing. At this point, if i press volume up button and power button together, its going into the Android system recovery mode.
Also i'm able to get into the FastBoot Mode by pressing volume down and power button together. But i've no idea how to use these modes (FastBoot and Android System Recovery).
Please help me out in recovering my phone..
Thanks in advance
Make a goldcard, find a way to flash the stock rom with a goldcard, there are a few tutorials here...
Edit: I figured this out... I had to hold volume up and down at the same time while powering up. Also the phone needs to be unplugged. IF its plugged in it will go to Download mode instead of recovery.
Hello,
I recently Went from the stock ATT rom to CM 10.2, and then to Omni.
I can not access CWM recovery by powering the phone on while holding volume up... Ive also tried holding the soft home key.
The only way I can get into recovery is to open ROM manager and choose reboot to recovery. This scares me because if my rom goes haywire I may not have any way to get back into the recovery.
I have already tried re flashing CWM
any ideas?
Quick Boot
You can download the app "Quick Boot" from the Play Store, which has the option to reset into recovery (and many other options)
Hey guys,
I have a problem since 2 weeks now and it seems there is no answer to is...
I installed TWRP and also installed after the CWM recovery for trying purposes...
Here is my problem: After installing either of the recovery mode... Normally I switch off my phone after I "simply" need to press volume up button and power button simulatiously.... BUT it blo**y does not work.
So I wanted to ask: What am I doing wrong?
I have the TWRP-2.8.6.0_S90 and/or CWM_6.0.5.1
Help is much appreciated!
I tried something unconventional. I pressed the volume up and volume down key simultaneously while power on the device and twrp recovery booted up. Try yours.
