I'm using JF 1.42 RC33 and went to the recovery and cannot leave. I've tried Home and Back, Talk, Menu, and Power, and typing exit. Nothing has worked please help.
hold hold+back....or remove battery
Do you mean recovery console or recovery mode? in recovery console, which is what you get when you hit alt+x, type reboot to exit. In recovery mode, if home+back doesn't reboot, try pulling the battery.

why are people pulling the battery? there is no need to pull the battery.
here is how a flashing procedure should go:
1. Download spl-update.zip, place on phone as update.zip
2. Turn off device, go into recovery mode (HOME+POWER)
3. ALT+W to wipe, and ALT+S to update the SPL
4. WAIT until it completes. (It will ask you to press "HOME+BACK" to reboot).
5. press HOME+BACK
6. DO NOT TOUCH THE DEVICE ANYMORE
6. It will quickly spit out "Writing hboot.." then reboot and you will see a chip and an arrow facing up (image attached), it will reboot again, and boot you into recovery mode.
If you do NOT get taken into recovery mode, your phone is bricked..
If you are taken back into recovery mode, you are successful. Proceed.
7.
Code:
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb shell rm /sdcard/update.zip
adb push 6.0-signed.zip /sdcard/update.zip
8. Press ALT+W followed by ALT+S.
9. LET IT COMPLETE (you will be prompted to press "HOME+BACK")
10. press HOME+BACK
11. enjoy.
[Q] HELP!!! Cant access recovery mode & WiFi isnt connecting at all [MIUI 1.11.25]
After I upgraded to the new MIUI rom, I noticed that the Gmail app and the Email app where crashing all the time so I thought it would be a good idea to to wipe the Dalvik cache, do a factory reset and reinstall the ROM...
I wanted to clear everything and start new... so I wiped the sdcard, sd-ext, data/cache, dalvik... then i flashed the Miui rom and made a new sd-ext3, made it 1Gb... the phone restarted normally, i installed the a2sd on the sd-ext3, everything was fine, I started re-downloading my programs. but then I restarted the phone and all the program I had installed were gone... and the a2sd+ partition was showing 0.00B of space while myy sdcard was showing that there was 1Gb missing... worse, the gapps (gmail, market etc) were gone... thought another factory reset would solve the issue, so I went into the settings/system/about phone/factory reset... it brought the gapps back but the a2sd was still showing 0.00B of space. not only that, but I couldnt connect to my wifi anymore (it keeps saying "obtaining ip adress")... also, ever since, I cant factory reset anymore... as soon as I do, the phone restart and is stuck in a bootloop... so I have to take out the battery and put it back to switch it on properly...
I tried to reboot it in recovery so that i could both reflash the MIUI ROM and re-install the sd-ext3 with less memory this time... but I couldnt get into the recovery mode no matter what. it was amon ra v2.2.1 recovery... I downloaded Rom Manager from the internet so I could switch recoveries, and I switched to clockworkmod, but still couldn't access the recovery. I thought Rom Manager wasnt not working properly so I tried flashing new recovery image through adb and fastboot, but it wouldnt even let me do it... looked for ways to bypass the recovery mode and flash the rom but it still wouldnt work... So now im stuck with the phone unable to go into recovery mode.
The phone otherwise still works, I still get and can make phone calls, but I cant connect to the internet unless using my credit, and even that for some reasons does not allow me to connect to google servers, meaning that I cannot use the Market...
How can I get My phone to work properly again?
I know you might have done this but I gotta ask the following:
- Did you pull out the battery, put it back in, and hold POWER + Trackball + Volume Down until you got to fastboot. Then select the recovery option?
- Can you please tell me what exactly it said when you tried to flash a new recovery to your phone via adb? What commands did you use to flash it in the first place.
Please provide more details so we can help you.
Is your phone unlocked? If so, the easiest way is to just reflash a recovery image using:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "C:\location\to\recovery.img"
Then you can boot directly into the new recovery by changing the flash command to boot.
Code:
fastboot boot recovery "C:\location\to\recovery.img"
Then I would wipe the /system partition and reinstall MIUI.
Start a fastboot mode:
+ Download the fastboot http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8180983/N1/fastboot.zip
+ Extract the contents of fastboot.zip to some directory of your
preference
+ Download the su.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8180983/N1/su.zip
+ Copy to the root of SD * Do not extract the contents, simply copy
to the root of SD *
+ Turn off your phone
+ Press and hold the trackball, press the power
+ The phone will connect in fastboot mode
+ Plug the USB cable
+ You will see a highlighted message "USB fastboot"
2 Unlock your bootloader:
<WARNING - This procedure below deletes all your
SETTINGS!>
+ At the command prompt / terminal, go to the directory where you
Drew fastboot.zip
+ If rWindows:
+ Go to Start> Run> cmd
+ Use the cd command to access the directory where you extracted the
fastboot.zip
+ Type-windows.exe fastboot devices
+ In the list will show your device
+ Type fastboot-windows.exe oem unlock
+ If it is Linux:
Run the + terminal of your choice
+ Use the force, become as root (su -)
+ Go to the directory where you extracted using fastboot.zip
cd
+ Enter. / Fastboot-linux devices
+ In the list will show your device
+ Enter. / Fastboot-linux oem unlock
+ If Mac, use the same steps as replacing the Linux
for fastboot. / fastboot-mac
+ Confirm unlocking
+ Now your phone will accept any customROM
3 Install any custom recovery:
- I used ClockworkMod, but there are others, such as Amon_Ra's.
http://mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-passi ...
+ If linux:
+ With the phone connected to usb fastboot mode and type:. /
linux-fastboot flash recovery <caminho/ para/ o/ arquivo/> / recovery-
clockwork-2.5.1.4-passion.img
+ If windows:
+ With the phone plugged into usb mode and type fastboot: fastboot-
windows.exe flash recovery <caminho/ para/ o/ arquivo/> / recovery-
clockwork-2.5.1.4-passion.img
+ If MAC:
+ With the phone connected to usb fastboot mode and type:. /
fastboot-mac flash recovery <caminho/ para/ o/ arquivo/> / recovery-
clockwork-2.5.1.4-passion.img
+ Okay, you installed a custom recovery and now has several
features such as nandroid backup / restore and etc..
- Accessing the custom recovery
Press + power and return to the bootloader menu, you will see an option
called RECOVERY, select it using the volume buttons and press
power to start the customrecovery
+ Will load a black screen with an exclamation point, press power
and the volume +
+ You are on the menu, scroll using the trackball or the keys
volume, to select, press the trackball

I could get to the fastboot and was selecting the recovery option, but then it was stuck in a bootloop. When I was trying to flash using the command prompt it was saying that there were errors. but Dont worry, I fixed it. Turns out the errors were due to the fact that the command couldnt find the location of the image...
I am trying to boot my samsung captivate into the boot loader. I've tried the physical key combos mentioned on XDA with no luck.
I tried using ./adb reboot bootloader but the phone does a regular reboot.
I am able to get a splash screen with that says "Download" and has a picture of the Android shoveling, by pressing both volumes and plugin in the power.
But if i do this, the device is not visible when I used ./adb devices
I am also able to boot into recovery using ./adb reboot recovery but I still cant see the device. I can also reboot into recovery with "One Click Root."
It says : Your phone is now in recovery mode. Select "Apply sdcard:update.zip" using the volume buttons and then press the power/home button.
But i don't see this as an option. my options are:
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
formate internal sd-card
The question is how can i get this to reboot into the bootloader preferably from the terminal so that I can unlock it and install CWM.
Any advice would be much appreciated!

As far as i know, u can't reboot the Captivate into the bootloader.
But u could use Heimdall to flash a kernel that has cwm recovery built in.

Once I get into the recovery mode, selecting reboot to system, keeps booting me back into the recovery mode. I have to press the Power button and Home button for the screen to go blank and then quickly hold down the Power and Vol Down button to see the moboot menu. From there, the default option is Cynogenmod and I can boot into Android.
The /boot/moboot.default app has only one line and it's "CyanogenMod" (without the quotes). When I reboot the TPad, it reboots just fine. It's just when it's rebooting from the recovery mode, that it can't escape.
Any idea how to fix this?
As in title - How to check if I have recovery partition installed?
I already flashed FTF with TA update by Andropax, but its doesnt work for me...
Any idea?
Thanks
Try do 'adb reboot recovery' or select reboot from recovery from power menu if you have any of those advanced power menu mods installed.

Won't work, the new recovery partition doesn't work with adb and so won't work with power menu mods either. Normally, POW+VOL DOWN and releasing POW on vibrate takes you to the recovery, if you've installed a recovery using 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' , but I find that inconsistent with Stock ROMs. If you're running an AOSP based ROM, that should work and it will directly take you to recovery.
so you mean the only way to check if i have the recovery partition is by actually flashing the recovery in fastboot?
If you are rooted you can download terminal emulator from play store. Run it, type in su and hit enter. grant super user access. Then type reboot recovery and hit enter again.
Your phone should now reboot into recovery if there is any. Otherwise the phone will just reboot to its system.
