Hey guys.. Ummm.. I had a completely, perfectly, fine rooted Galaxy S. [I don't know if it's still rooted or not]
I'd installed Darky's ROM [5.6], and was gonna put in 6.0.
I decided to do a completely clean install for some reason [I don't know, I'm stupid.] and there's where I made the mistake. The phone got flashed n all through Odin, but now my 3 button combo doesn't work.
I searched for a fix, and it requires adb if I'm not wrong. Problem is, adb itself requires busybox and superuser. I don't have superuser in the phone [I suppose I can find it in the market, haven't checked.] but I was installing busybox, and it said that my phone's rooted but something's wrong [something about a nand or something] and that busybox can't be installed.
I want that ROM and I want my 3 button combo working again
Can someone please help?

Which ROM do you have now? If its Darkyy's, its pre-rooted, & has busybox.
Umm.. I don't think I know.
I just flashed the thing with this.. 'h t t p : // w w w. multiupload . com / XWDSKCPGTD' and the JM1 CSC file..
But it's certainly not Darky's..
Though I DID put in the 6.0 .zip file in the internal memory. Haven't installed it though [more like CAN'T install it ..]

Download Tuxility from the market. It has a Thread here in Dev too. You get options of normal shut down, reboot into recovery & into download.
Hope this helps.
I tried that
It doesn't start Force closes
Have you tried Quick Boot from the market?
Yep. I installed it, opened it, pressed Recovery.
Nothing happened
[in the description of the app, it said that root access is needed for it to work, and since the buttons weren't working, I think the phone's not rooted anymore]
I even pressed Download. Nothing happened there either
2.1 ROMs have a different way of entering into recovery & download. You press Vol up + menu + Pwr keys, & you get the splash screen, release the Pwr button for half a second & again keep it pressed till you go into recovery.
Otherwise, there is manual way of installing the superuser & busybox, you need to search the forum.
Umm.. It says it's 2.2
Still think I should try what you said?

For 2.2 you keep holding all the three buttons till the flash screen blanks & comes on, on the second blank screen, release the pwr button. If that doesn't work, try to do it at the third blank.
I pressed the menu and volume button simultaneously while the animation was going on, and I got this screen saying 'FORCED UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING' and a bunch of values on top [in red].
Apart from that, nothing

Oh oh.. One more thing. The power button does NOT turn the phone off! It just restarts it! [so I have to pull the battery out if I wanna turn the phone off]

Up or down volume button? I always press the combination of buttons before the phone starts and wait till I see the download/recovery screen.
Power + up + home => Recovery.
Power + down + home => download.
By the way, this thread is in the wrong forum.

Good luck!
If you want to reflash a clean install but having problems getting to recovery or download, try the homemade jig. I used it when I thought my phone was dead and it worked fine.
Basically, once you have the jig, power off the phone (battery pull in ur case) and insert the jig in the socket. After 2-3 secs it should boot to download. Then you are free to flash with odin. At this stage I recommend repartition etc to ensure a fully clean install.
Enjoy

Try this workaround, it worked for me:
First, root it with z4root, just download it from the market. Then install Clockworkmod from market. From that program flash clockworkmod recovery. Now you can enter recovery from menu in Rom Manager. Once in recovery, there's an option somewhere to go into download mode - and you can flash whatever you want from there
reflash your phone by odin.
Hello ladies and gents,
I ahve a very simple question, i want to follow the CyanogenMod thread to change roms on my milestone because it is acting up on me and it def. needs a refresher, but my main problem is that my power button does not work anymore, and i'm afraid the only way i have for it to turn on is if i connect it to a computer...when i just connect the phoen to a wall it just shows me charging...but as soon as i connect it to a computer it officially turns on.
So, do i need my power button to be able to complete the rom change, AND, is there such a thing as a rom or an app that would allow me to turn the phone on with a different button????
Thanks for your help peeps it is greatly appreciated!!! :laugh:
Did u tried alt+shift+del button combination on phydical keyboard to reboot?

Since my power button is broken, if ever it shuts down or needs to restart and doesn't automatically, i don't want to have to unplug it and/or temper with it...so basically well, that was exactly my question; will i ever need my power button while flashing/changing roms on the device?
If not then i will go ahead and do the rom change.
My 2nd question was, since my power button is broken, my screenlock/unlock is also unfunctional and if ever my phone shuts off i can't turn it back on unless i connect it to a computer. Is there such a thing as an app or a feature(from a specific rom) that would allow me to configure the phone to turn on with a different button? Same thing for the screenlock/unlock.
I hope i explained myself better
Thanks for your time!!

Can't help you for the first question... Think it's impossible to boot without power button nor plugged USB.
But for the second, it's known that all CM (at least since 7) have this option : wake up with volume buttons
Some other ROM include it but can't tell you which one. Sorry.
What scoutme saying is correct, when the mobile is turning on and if u have pressed the camera button, it will trigger boot to recovery mode.
One more suggestion, why don't u use quick reboot widget, it has option to reboot to recovery. It does all what physical power button does. Try it out...

I've been dealing with this problem for about 6 months or so, if you are about to start from the scratch like sdcard partition and sbf and applying stuff I guess there's' no way you can do it...
All I did was downloaded the required ROM and placed in OR and I got a app for getting to recovery which is "Quick Boot"
Search on play store, its free ;which has got 4 options in it namely reboot, recovery ,boot loader and power off ...did it that way
Hope this helps

To wake up the device (booted device, that has a locked screen) you can slide out the keyboard. CM7 indeed has a setting to wake it up with volume keys. For CM9 I do not remember and CM10 does not have that option yet as far I have noticed (I could be wrong, though).
What ROM do you currently have? Motorola stock? CyanogenMod? What version?
If you have non-moto it is rooted and has a busybox installed. You can execute
Code:
reboot recovery
form Terminal emulator which will take you to recovery. You can also connect it to computer, open Command prompt/Terminal (depends on your PC OS) and execute
Code:
adb shell
reboot recovery
Ccommand
Code:
adb reboot
to reboot the device or
Code:
adb reboot recovery
to reboot directly to recovery should also work. I'm unsure if it works on moto stock.
(Make sure you have enabled USB debugging in Settings.)
After that you should be directly in open recovery menu. Or press Volume up + Camera button if "stuck" on triangle screen.
Keyboard key combo, Left shift + Right alt + Delete reboots the device.
No matter what method you used to turn on the device you should be able to boot to recovery: while device is booting press and hold the keyboard X (needs to be done early in the process) to boot to recovery if you have bootloader 90.78. For previous bootloader vesions the camera button should do the same.
To boot to bootloader you need to press and hold D-pad up while the device is booting. Afaik, command
Code:
reboot bootloader
will boot to fastboot mode which is of no use for flashing sbf files (I can only assume that 3rd party apps and widgets use that method to get to bootloader/fastboot). You need bootloader mode to flash vunerable recovery, if not done already.
As minor side note, you have posted a help request in a Development section. Plus, all of this has been discused already. It is mostly scatterd around but not impossible to find.

I get into recovery by plugging it in anywhere, PC or wall, then hold X while its booting, once the recovery screen shows up, unplug, let go, and press whatever buttons you need. If its not X that you have to press, press whatever you need to when its booting.

For your question 1, please install this in your phone: http://www.mediafire.com/?wvw2sde2eldw2x4
there will be two icons in your phone afer installed, one for power off (can reboot into Recovery)
,another one is screen off.
For the second, all CM6(cm7 not sure) have this option : wake up with volume buttons (setting>cm setting>input setting>volume rocker wake)
By the way, if the PowerLock.apk doesn't switch you to recovery, you may need to copy this to your phone:
http://www.mediafire.com/?kvq45p4nscjwf88
How to use 60autoboot_or :
1) copy it to your system floder first
2) change permissions as:
VVV
VXV
XXX
3) then move it to system/etc/init.d
4) REBOOT

My milestone is still on custom rom, which is why i wanted to change it!
i'm trying to follow the guides on how to do it but holy sh*t do i feel like a noob. i used to customize the **** of my old windows phone and i've been out of the cellphone game in a while so im confused as ****.
Nonetheless, you clarified some good points, i thank you a million times for your time and patience; i'm gonna go ahead and try to install CM mod on here and hope it resolves all of my problems lol (gl to me ...)
oh and the reason why i ''lol'ed'' is beacuse all the terms he used in his post i was unfarmiliar with, so it was foreign language and i was confused as **** lol
Hello
You know, I appreciate the work of the developers.
However I have been trying to install a number of ROMS but AROMA just freezes either at the start, middle, end... it seems almost random.
Other times the screen flickers and returns to CWM 6.032.
I hold down the Power and Vol Down keys for 60seconds plus and nothing happens. Then a few minutes I try again and again and manage to exit the frozen mess AROMA has left me and start in bootloader only to try again!!
What is the problem here?? Really this is crap!
Is there something else I need to do to get a ROM flashed?? So far tonight its been a pain in the arse just to flash any one ROM.

Wait a little bit before beginning your install once aroma loads, also use the volume keys to navigate and your power button to select options and move forward. This also needs to be in the Q&A section
First of all,
Questions go in Q&A
Yes Aroma is a buggy mess.
However you can minimize lockups ny using volume buttons to step through menus and the power button to make selections.
AROMA cont.
Hi
Yes have done all that... use buttons, wait, press gently, breathe in...
What has just worked (or was it a fluke??) was to go to Fastboot erase cache - that fixed the issue so far.
Pain over - for now anyway.

AROMA is known to be buggy. I personally do not use roms that use it.
I decided to try the the rom provided by Null, but I can not get into recovery mode for my life.Held power button, but pressing it again 5 after power off screen, does nothing.
It will either open svoice or back to clock.....
Just a note, I tried rooting yesterday and did all the steps but explorer never gives me the option to have access to everything, so probably, not rooted yet. Don't know why.
I just got the gear yesterday and been playing with it.
Used an older version of manager and got it to connect to my S4 for now with limited functionality....
So I don't know if I am missing anything, if it's region specific or what, any help would be appreciated..
Any other way to get o recovery mode for now ?
UPDATE : DONE! not as simple as guide, thanks to someone that posted detailed instructions I did it. Thanks

sorry, was answered in the other thread, never thought to paste it here...There you go : (from another guy that posted the help)
"Step 1ress and hold power button for 2 secs
Step 2:Tap restart
Step 3:Tap ok
Step 4:Immediately hold the power (you will see the Samsung emblem with a blue halo)
Step 5:Release the power button when you see the Samsung Galaxy Gear with "rebooting" underneath
Step 6:Immediately rapidly press the power button 5-12 times until the next screen appears "Select boot mode"
Step 7ress power button once to change to Download.
Step 8ress and hold the power button on desired selection to choose and enter the selected mode
"

Have you as a last resort tried using Odin and a pit file so it relays and wipes clean EVERY partition just in case its a setting gone wrong in a location that standerd flashing doesn't cover?
