OK first off.. Cool for XDA to have a similar threads when type the name of this thread... Unfortunately like searching It did not give me any results. SO on with the question.
I have Emothers rom now and when I press my power button and hold it I get the power dialog that asks if I want to reboot and if so to recovery etc...
Now then I would like to if I can flash this over a plain stock rooted rom. can this be done? If so how and where do I get the files?
TY In advance!!
Would you like to try a freeware "Quick Boot"? I think it gives what you want..
it's on Android Market
Yep Its what I have been using. I just wanted to avoid the using an Icon in a clean stock rom.
My trackball is broken (parts on order) and my 2.3 rom is failing miserably. What recovery can I use that I can make selection with power button so I can use my phone again? Thanks!! Was on clockwork, tried Amon 2.0.

Those are the only 2.
Are you asking someone to develop you one?

Not at all.
I use "reboot manager", once installed you can press and hold the "search" buton and select reboot manager to get reboot options, reboot, recovery, fastboot.

He's not asking how to get to recovery, he needs a way to navigate it. Unfortunately, at this point there are no options for him.

Can it be done with ADB?

Not directly.
I think you *should* be able to do it using fastboot flash to flash the individual file system images (*.img files, often inside a flashable *.zip), and then adb push to push remaining files to the appropriate directories.
I don't know 100% if this would work, but it might be something to try. Consult adb help and fastboot help for more information on the syntax of those commands.

1.) Hold volume down to get boot menu
2.) Then press volume down until you see Android Recovery
3.) Press volume up to select.
4.) Once you see the Android logo, click the on the screen just above the search button.
Use volume up and down to navigate, and press the screen above the menu key to select. Should be self explanatory from here. Just make sure you copy the update.zip to the root of your SD Card. Enjoy!
**Sorry, but I guess I should have specified that this is for the AT&T branded Atrix Only.

Very cool. Next time I dork up my phone I'll give it a try.
Does this work on the Bell Atrix? If not, you should precise it in your first post.

No!!!!... do not flash this on the bell atrix its the ATT OTA update
And tech the firmware version alone 1.2.6 should tell you that its not the bell firmware to begin with...
Thank you sir very helpful to keep on my drive instead of hoping to have wifi when I may need it.

Sorry, but I assumed that most folks knew that Bell doesn't have a 4.1.57 release. Correction made. Thanks!

Worked perfectly. Takes a little while. But not insanely long. Only a panicky is the damn thing working long.

Mirror.
Sorry to bring this back up but, since it is in the form of update.zip, is it possible to flash via CWM recovery instead of the normal recovery?
EDIT: keep getting failed whether do it with stock recovery or clockworks.
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?

Anyway: you can use the cable workaround to flash any rom, by pressing camera button while connecting to pc

Maybe 'reboot recovery' through adb or terminal emulator.

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
Welcome.
I have a problem with my Milestone (A853) and so when I go into recovery mode (power + x) gives me a triangle with the phone, everything like it is oke but when I press the key combination vol + and camera (I tried various combinations of vol-and camera, vol + / - together and also there) I do not know what to do because I want to upload Softa but I can not enter into the menu? Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor English
PS If this is the wrong forum, please move
If I understand you, you want to flash a new version of Android on your phone.
If so, then follow the guide in my signature, it describes everthing you need to know and need to do.
What are the instructions? I read your post recovery but I noticed that the recovery menu is done? And I was in the menu, I can not enter
Please, use simple english because I dont really understand your posts.
Anyway, >>THIS<< is the guide I was talking about.
I downloaded it already but no effect. Once again, sorry for my english
Can you take a photo from the screen where you stucked?
