Hey Guys,
Is there a way to shut the phone down straight from the recovery? I know you can reboot from the recovery into the OS, but that gives me second partition Link2SD problems, which results in various settings such as all my account and sync settings being reset, which is a pain to set up. Is it possible to press and hold the power button on the recovery main menu after you have completed all your operations so that it shuts the phone down without rebooting? Or is this harmful to the phone? What about a battery pull at the main menu so that is shuts down after you complete all your operations? Thanks in advance.

If you are using TWRP v.2.6.3.0 (touch) then under the main menu; you will find "Reboot" choose it, this will open the "Reboot Menu" there is a choice "Power Off":good:

If you have a removable battery, you can always yank it out. Just make sure that Recovery has finished whatever it was doing...or bad bad things can happen.
Thanks guys. I am using clockworkmod on my LG optimus 2X so I will be able to give the battery pull a try. Unfortunately clockworkmod does not have the power menu.

I tried posting this questions, but as it's my first it won't allow me to post in that section. So my apologies in advance.
I cannot turn the phone off completely, if I try to turn the phone off through QuickBoot, or though the native power/lock button and select Power Off, it still reboots. Also, if I plug into a wall jack and turn the phone off for faster charging, it goes into the recovery screen with options for installing a new ROM etcetera.
How do I uninstall Tenwar's CWM? Or is there something else I can do to get the phone to turn off entirely?
Thanks in advance guys.

When going into Recovery mode there is no option for Charge Mode. Here are the options available (version 2.5.1.8)
-Reboot System Now
-Apply SDCARD :update.zip
-Apply SDINTERNAL :update.zip
-Wipe DATA/Factory reset
-Wipe Cache partition
-Install zip from SDCARD
-Backup & restore
-Mounts & Storage
-Advanced - (no option for charge mode in this sub menu)
-++++++Go Back++++++
Please let me know where I can find this, and thanks again.
get into the phone. Make sure you have a home screen with your widgets/apps/shortcuts, whatever. Go to the app drawer, choose the app that says "System Recovery". Once inside the app, click "Charge Mode". The phone may restart. Problem solved.

There is no icon that ready "System Recovery" in the app drawer or in Settings > Manage Apps.
As someone rather new to Adroid and GingerBlur, is there anywhere else I should be looking? I have Titanium Backup and QuickBoot if that matters at all. I don't know if those affect the System Recovery at all.
if you have cwm installed you have that icon in the app drawer. If you uninstalled it, reinstall it.
Will do. Thanks!
Hey guys, I had rooted my Evo3d a while ago using the revolutionary tool. Hboot 1.4, S-OFF and all was well. I have the stock ROM and nothing done other than rooting it. Everything was fine for approximately a month...yesterday a member showed me how to remove the software update icon by un-checking the box in menu>settings>updates>...etc. I did NOT update anything though.
Now, this morning I wake up after the phone being on the charger and the capacitive buttons are lit, but the phone screen is blank. I try powering/waking it up and NOTHING. I pull the battery a few times and restarted it a few times and again, NOTHING. I tried doing the power+lower volume key and I get into the root revolutionary menu, but from there I am lost. Can anybody help? I'd like to recover my system settings and my information/files on the phone.
It's killing me now as I cannot access my phone/files, esp mid-week .
Thanks all!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
BUMP, and ^^ thanks!
Anybody please? When hitting power+low volume key>recover, it shows up as revolutionary cwm (clockworkmod??).
ps im an iphone convert, i know nothing about kernals/roms/etc. I followed a how-to on how to root using revolutionary, my andorid prowess ends there.
Was it unplugged when you pulled the battery?
Try removing the memory card, unplug, and pull battery. Then try to boot it.
Otherwise, I have no idea what you need to do. Other than a reset using the recovery...but that will erase your data.
Battery pull 30 seconds
Place battery back in device
Hold vol down and power hold till bootloader starts.
Use vol down scroll to recovery and hit power.
Let recovery boot.
Scroll to clear cache and hit power.
Scroll to yes with volume keys and press power.
When its done scroll to advanced and the wipe dalvik cache and hit power.
Scroll to yes with volume keys and press power.
Go back to main recover screen and choose reboot system.
Good luck

So I rooted my phone and was thinking I would flash to CM7. I decided to backup using Titanium Backup. I decided, stupidly, to "move to SD card" all my apps that aren't system apps. Now my phone keeps booting up, scanning for media and then rebooting constantly. What should I do?
Thanks for any help!!!

boot into recovery (phone off, hold vol up vol down and power until galaxy screen comes on, then release power until recovery comes up), wipe data/factory reset, and then flash whatever you want from there. you will have to re-install your apps (either fresh from the market or with titanium again, if you still have them on your phone).

Well that works, I'm in CWM but now when I try to click the wipe data/factory reset (using the power button right) it just highlights the background icon and everything else disappears.
Nevermind, home button is the correct way to do it. Thanks for the help!

that happened to me the other day. I kept rebooting then I after the 5th i was able to stay on the phone long enough to move all the apps back to the phone
I'm the stock att rom on 2.3.4. I had my phone for a while but never backed up my ROM. I performed a permissions fix and rebooted. I selected backup ROM and it rebooted. The phone tried to reboot but got stuck trying to boot to recovery menu. I hit the volume button and got the Rom M. recovery menu. None of the options work. It just shows an icon and does nothing. If I hit the volume button it goes back to menu. I've tried to reboot several times and it keeps on booting to a non functional Rom Manager menu.
I'm done my searches and I'm no luck. Is there a way to recovery without completely wiping the phone? I'm hoping there's an easy way to recover the boot using Odin?
Here's exactly what I did in that situation .. take the battery out and leave it out for about 2 hours.. this will totally deplete your phone of any kind of power.. after your done put it back in and it should boot up perfectly! If not try to take it out for longer

Depending on which version of cwm you are booting into...what button are you using to select? Most of them its either power or the home button. Try the home button to select.

Thanks for the response but I don't see how this would fix the problem as it boots from internal storage and not the memory. I'll try it while I'm doing research and waiting for more responses.

Much Thanks!!!!! Karashta. Selecting the home bottom to select instead of the power is the proper way of selecting the menu's.
Thanks for making my day.

No problem man. That freaked me out coming from my captivate where power was select. Glad I could help

Got the phone with rebooting problem: it got the rebooting after updated. The device restarted during Android app optimization stage so I just unblock with the AT&T stock file (pda-odin-att-stock.tar) after that the phone can boot up fine the problem still. It works but continuing reboot every 2 minutes. I tried to clear the cache, test redbend fota... but nothing works

First of all sorry about my English. I wish I can do better.
I got the phone with the rebooting and base on the owner of the phone he said it started rebooting after an update.
Not sure what was of update to but the phone I got always rebooting during Android app optimization stage ( when it updating about 90 files or so) but it got reboot when updating to the file of 57th (So it was not actually working)
I watched and followed the youtube (how to unblock/unbrick galaxy i717) which it used the pda-odin-att-stock.tar file with the ODIN3 V1.85 (I guess that original ROM of AT&T (android version 2.3)
After successful unblock/unbrick the phone the phone actual worked but the problem still. It works but only 2 minutes and the phone reboots.
2/ test redbend fota is one the options you can choose after hard booting the phone using both up - down keys and power key (other options are to clear the cache, or wipe the data..)
That actually happened to me while testing out Bean Stalk(which btw AWESOME ROM). It would do a Random Reboot and continuously do that every 2 minutes or so. The way I fixed it was by doing the following steps:
1) Power off your phone. If unable to power off, remove and reinsert the battery.
2 )Press and hold between both Volume keys and the Power key at the same time until the phone vibrates, then release ONLY the Power key.
3)Continue holding the Volume keys until Samsung appears on the screen. Then release both volume keys.
The recovery menu will display.
4) Press Volume down to move to option 3, Wipe data/factory reset, and then press the Home key to accept.
5) Use Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to navigate in the menu and select Yes- Delete all user data.
6)Navigate to highlight OK and press the Home key to select.
7) Select Reboot system now.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING INSIDE YOUR SD CARD AS WELL! SO DO A BACKUP BEFORE ERASING EVERYTHING!

Could it be a battery issue? I mean if its not software, it might be hardware. Please check if the battery is fine? If you could elaborate the steps you took or the update process you followed, that would be great.
Don't worry we will definitely figure this out, i know how sad it can be when you are without your phone.

No. Surely it is not about the battery. Battery is full and hold the charge pretty well. As I mentioned I was re-installed the original ROM of the phone and there was nothing much to say about this procedure. After reinstalled the original rom the phone works but the problems is still same (rebooting after 2 minutes), before the the phone didn't work and just was in the updating stage but I guess the time of the updating file was also about 2 minutes.
I believe this is about the software than the hardware issue. I am thinking that I may want to install the newest ROM to see it will work or not but I am in the middle of some works right now and have no time for it. So I am just wait to see if there is anyone had similar issue and follow their instruction. Thank you you all.
I am sure you either have hardware issue or in most circumstances it is a user issue.
Is there any possibility you have not read everything or something you are not understanding?
Those of us responding do so because our methods are tried and true. Nobody else is having this issue.
I just ask is it possible?
Have you confidently tried all suggestions with no shortcuts? Even the smallest deviation can lead to the biggest problems

Here is a suggestion:
Please go to stock rom. After Odin restarts the phone...do not touch. Let the phone sit there for a little bit. Then if it restarts u might need to format your internal sd card after formatting system, data, cache and then install rom.
I had to flash it

factory reset did not help me with this...I ended up having to flash CM 10.1. Its the most stable custom I have used on this phone yet....
