I spent the last hour trying to find out How to use Recovery, I know how to boot into recovery... how do I actually choose an option?? I can scroll up and down (volume button)
What button do I use to choose an option? (I know it sounds retarded lol)
Power button
thats the first thing I pressed... =( it wouldnt work time to try it again
Depends on the kernel. It might be the Home button

Hey guys, I have my phone rooted and the shell installed, but when I turn off my phone and turn it back on holding the home button, the recovery menu doesn't open. I have even tried to hold the power and the home button at the same time and that still didn't work.
It does work if I do reboot recovery in a terminal app or adb so I know I that it is infact flashed to the phone.
Any ideas?
I actually end up doing the "Volume Down" button and Power button...it gives me a menu and then I hit the Home button to go into the recovery ROM.

thanks, I'll try and see if that works.
Edit.. That doesn't seem to work either. Maybe Im pushing the buttons wrong or too late? Was there a file i was supposed to keep on the SD card?
Edit... NVM I wasnt holding the buttons before I turned the phone on. I always pressed them right after I turned the phone on.
On my I9000 - Andrid 2.1 - home button not working, that I bought it from a friend. I was curious and I used AndroidSDK and went into recovery mode. Now I can not get out. No way. I took out the battery but nothing. They can move across the volume keys but can not confirm "reboot system now" button for home that does not work. Please, how do I get out of recovery mode? Please...
I'm sorry for bad english

When the volume keys to select the option "reboot system now" and press the power button nothing happens. Nothing happens even when I press the home button, which I did not ever worked. When I hold power button for 10 seconds the cell phone turned off, and when I hold a few seconds, the mobile restart and back into recovery mode.

if u guys just like to get the phone back to work, it would be the best to just flash a new ROM via ODIN. After that, the phone boots normally.
But I dont know if this is an option!
Hope u are still able to get the phone to downloadmode via 3-Button-Combo?!

Home button isn't working -> no 3 button combo
try using a jig to get it in download mode and flash a stock rom
In recovery mode, you also can boot system with power-button.

but that depends from the installed Recovery!
I have a Samsung Captivate (I897) but I accidentally installed the I9000 firmware on it. Now my home button acts like the back button, The 3 button combo doesn't work, and the back button doesn't work at all. I tried to get it to do SOMETHING and somehow I got it into recovery mode but now i cant get it out and get it to boot up. It shows the normal recovery mode options and i can scroll down and up but I can't select anything because it says use the "select" button but there is no "select" button on the I897. All I need is to get into download mode and i can probably fix it from there. I want to flash it back to factory settings so my fiance can use it. Can someone please help me? I've been searching the forums for days trying to find the same issue but to no avail.
What I9000 firmware? If it was a gingerbread build the button combo for download mode is vol down and power, otherwise it should be the same both volumes then plug in ausb cable... or make a jig.
And just for the hell of it try using the menu button to select something in recovery.
Holy F man you are the man!! i used the volume down and power button and its now in download mode. Now I can try to flash it back with Odin. Thank you soooooo much!!
ok so i tried that and now it wont even turn on at all. idk whats goin on with it. i may just have to send it in to samsung...

You are either doing it wrongly, or the volume-down button isn't working. It's as simple as that.
To diagnose, make absolutely sure that CWM is properly installed by following steps 1-3 in this guide.
EDIT: Actually, if volume-down isn't working, you won't be able to start the phone in NVFlash-mode either.
Then try to start recovery again (also by doing it exactly like the guide says.) If you still can't access CWM, then you know for certain your volume-down key is broken and you need to get the phone repaired.
Maybe a "quick shot" but why not to ask: do you keep power and vol down keys long enough? You have to keep them pressed both for quite a few seconds before CWM mode is activated and CWM menu appears. So, just power off your phone, then keep power and "vol -" buttons pressed until the LG logo changes a bit or the CWM menu appears. On my phone it takes about 15 seconds, so no hurry

Press and hold all the three buttons(Volume up, Down and power button) together for ten seconds and your phone should go to recovery mode.
