I saw this only once, as part of cyanogen rom but I was wondering if there is a standalone way of setting up a reboot button as part of the fly-out menu that comes up when i hold my power button?
I tried searching but all results seem to deal with general power button problems.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone? Just point me in the right direction or something.
i have not heard of a way to add this. but you can install quickboot from the market which is what i use so i never have to touch my power button in fear that it will fail on me over time. quickboot will reboot your phone, or take you right to recovery, etc.

I tried looking through all of the threads, Google, & every other method i could think of to find the answer to my question, but i can't seem to find anyone else with my issue.
I was in the process of trying to put the Honeycomb build on my internal memory, when i realized i was never able to get Clockwork Recovery working as it's supposed to. Whenever i select AND option, all i get is a blank screen (image attached). I have tried reflashing the recovery, both manually & through ROM Manager & even flashing it to the SD card (as stated in the Honeycomb tutorial) i'm still getting blank options.
I know my way around Android devices (never had any trouble rooting/flashing my EVO but this seems to have me stumped for now. Don't need anyone to hold my hand through it, just a push in the right direction would be a huge help.
~Thanks in advance.

download the clockwork mod only sd card image
burn the image to your sd card via winimage
mounts and storge format boot/system/data(may crash, just hard reset)
now you should be able to reflash the image of your choice.
EDIT: Didn't see the picture until I logged in. I don't think any of my original post below is helpful for this problem.
Are you using the power key to select and turning the screen off? I've done that on my phone--used power instead of camera, and it turns the screen off. If you hit power again, it toggles the screen back on. Of the top of my head, I don't remember what the select button for the NC is, but the only other option we have is the "n" button.

Wow i feel stupid. I thought Clockwork on the nook worked the same as on the EVO, with the power button being Select.
FYI to anyone that comes across this with the same problem: Power will clear the screen & the 'n' button needs to be used to select.
Thanks robjective
So here is the situation:
My power button is non-functional. This happened before, and I was able to press very firmly on the power button to access a shut down menu and turn off the phone. From this, I was able to enter download mode (pressing volume button while inserting USB) and go back to stock, which surprisingly, fixed my power button. I thought this nightmare was over.
Now, my power button has stopped working again (ICS hacksung 5.0). No matter how much pressing, prodding, whatever, I cannot get the power button to turn off the phone.
I cannot find any adb commands to turn off phone.
"adb reboot download" simply restarts the phone, no download mode. (adb does recognize the device)
If I take out the battery, as soon as I put it in the phone boots up.
If I am pressing any of the volume buttons when I put the battery in, I can access recovery mode (But cannot select anything because power button is still broken)
Any ideas? I doubt my phone is still under warranty (1.4 years old) and I do not have mobile insurance.
Thanks for any help in advance
Depending on what recovery u have (cwm or ?), U can use the capacitive buttons, while in that revovery, to navigate and select the power off option.

Thats a neat tip that I didn't know about, but I can't find any option to power off? Sorry for being retarded but I have given this time I promise
cwm recovery is what I have installed atm
Reboot to CWM and Power off option may be at the bottom of the 1st screen that u come to. That is dependent on what version of cwm u have though.
Quick boot from the market, you can place a poweroff button directly on the home screen

The ICS ROMS CWM recovery doesn't have power off choice, so he can't do that.

Unfortunately the quick boot "power off" option simply froze my phone, or restarted it.
I let my battery drain so that I could get a dead phone (that part worked), but when I hold my volume buttons and plug in the USB for download mode it goes to the "battery" screen or (if both are held down) recovery. No download mode.
In recovery "key test" the power button fails to register any key press, but it is not spamming either. This seems like a hardware problem, but I am not sure how it was fixed when I flashed back to stock before if that is the case
I will next try making a download mode jig, I'll let you guys know how it goes...
My cousin had the exact same problem less than a month ago.
I see you tried reboot download through adb, have you tried it using the same command, but using android emulator from market? That worked for her phone so worth a shot.
its a far shot but odin is now available for use on the phone itself and works on our phones. maybe you can find a kernel thats had the buttons reconfigured. i know darky has one somewhere.

the phone simply reboots. Same thing happens in "Quick Boot" 's "Bootloader" reboot option. This phone just seems broke as hell.
Firstly, this power button problem is a lot more common than you would think. It is most often a hardware failure - I mean the button mechanism (springs etc. just dies). Google it to see how common.
Your post suggests a clue: If just putting the battery in reboots the phone, then the power button may be stuck in the "in" position.....so it is always getting "pushed". Then anything you do would mean ht epower button is already being pressed. If this is the case, you will never get a software solution ???
Also, I absolutely do not mean to be nasty. But if you search both Q&A and General sections there are previous threads with this button problem. Many other solutions have been posted and it will be difficult to list them together.
Finally, you can actually replace - yes, replace - the button yourself. Google/you tube has it.

Hope this helps !
I've been using CM9 on the touchpad for a long time without any problem. but recently, whenever I tried to reboot the pad by pushing the power bottom, instead of showing the power menu, I got the volume up menu. I can still use the power button to turn on/off the screen. So, it seems the hardware is still OK. I already updated to the latest nightly, still the same problem. Anyone knows what's going on and how to fix it? At least, is there another way to reboot the pad?
Thanks,
Why is there such a mode in this device and when can we use it?? I held the power button and after the power menu showed up I just decided to hold on shutdown section maybe it restarts that way but instead a new menu popped up asking me if I want to reboot in safemode???

I too have had this today but after another reboot It was not there. Any clue how this SAFEMODE comes about?
EDIT:
I have come across this:
Downloading loads of Apps is great, but sometimes they can cause havoc with your phone and a boot into safe mode is necessary.
To do this, long press your Power button. Then long press on the Power off option. You will then be asked to reboot into safe mode.
When your phone restarts it will not load any Apps allowing you to disable any troublesome ones.
For the most part, I haven't had any issues with my phone after lollipop. I'm liking the new features and the new pull down quick access buttons. For some reason though, when I boot into recovery mode, I can't seem to get the menu to pop up. I've tried every combination I can think off with the power button and volume buttons but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
I've recently had to wipe the cache on my Turbo and the recovery mode does seem to have changed. With the phone powered off, hold the power button and volume down button until you get to the bootloader. Use the volume keys to navigate the menu and press the power button to select. Select recovery and you should see the Android icon laying down. Hold the power button FIRST for about two seconds and then tap the volume up button.
Yes, if you're wiping the cache it will take a long time. Do not freak out! :good: The ETA should be about 20+ minutes.
I've done it before on kitkat and know that it takes forever. The first time I did it though I was flipping out cause I thought it was deleting everything haha.
I did finally get it to come up using that method, and your right it has changed. You have to be really accurate when holding the power button and using the vol up arrow because I was trying that before and never could get it to come up.
Anyway thanks for the help.
After lolipop update it is reversed. Hold power button and tap on up volume... For sure
