Hi I was using the liquid roms and i tried to install the google apps pack from clockwork mod and then my phone wouldnt let me boot into recovery mode. (the x button, volume button, camera button, etc or whatever you do) When I press those buttons to try and do a hard reset or change a rom, it shows up with an exclamation point and a picture of a phone beside it. ive searched everywhere but i still dont know how to do it. i think i need to reflash my recovery or something, could someone help me?
Im using a Motorola android Gen 1 btw
thanks

hey guys,
as i already wrote i got an issue with my milestone and its recovery mode. Today afternoon i decided to flash a vulnerable recovery on my phone and then try G.O.T. open recovery out for the first time. After flashing the vulnerable recovery I tried to enter recovery mode by pressing camera button while pressing power button and then (when the triangle appears) the camera button with the volume up button (the way its always done to get there). This worked out pretty well and i was able to do a nandroid backup, root my phone and install the G.O.T. theme (just to try sth out). Later i wanted to flash a custom rom to my milestone, but since then i couldnt even enter recovery mode, i'm always stuck at the point where the triangle appears. I pressed camera+volume up for 2 min and nothing happened, even entering "su" and "reboot recovery" from a terminal app didn't work. everything else is working fine, could somebody explain me what i'm doing wrong or how to fix this? thanks a lot in advance!
EDIT: Ok, i'm really sorry for causing any inconvenience, i figured my mistake out by accident. i pressed camera + power, released both when the triangle showed up and pressed camera and then volume up, while it should be the other way around i guess, cuz now it worked out fine...
got same problem, stuck on triangle and no reaction on volumeUP + camera…
bump
Is this for the milestone or the vzw droid they have different systems. i know for the droid its power + X for 10 sec while the M logo is up. Im sorry im not to familiar with the milestone A853
i forgot my home button does not work, there is something wrong with its hardware, but that is not the point,
tried to make a backup from rom manager, (clockwork mod recovery)
then the phone booted into recovery, and now since there is no way i can press home button my phone keeps looping boot into recovery,
i can't boot into download mode, it automaticly goes into recovery so i cant use odin or hemidall, or any other soft known to me
is there a solution or i have to fix my home button (hardware problem) first?
help
first repair hardware key.........
ask on darkyrom seen this asked there there is a fix cant remember look here

It would be worth getting a usb jig either from ebay or making one yourself. It is future planning and very easy if you find yourself back in this situation.
Also you can use ADB to boot into download, many tutorials youtube and here... Also many other websites..
I have a Motorola milestone (second hand) and tried to load a update for it then i noticed the following problems:
- boot looping at the android logo
-when i tried going into bootloader i get a blank black screen
-when i go into recovery and try to update using "update.zip" i get a EOCD error and another time i get a authorization error
WHAT TO DO????
Come on dude,
Just search EOCD error, I think you will find at least 15 topics.
You lost root, Nedd to flash vulnerable recovery sbf. You will find latest instructions on nadalbak site.
You can find site inside his cm7 topic. Milestone android development.
Sent from my Milestone using xda premium
i'm fairly new to the milestone side, the version that is on the phone is 2.2
Everybody's instruction is to put the phone in bootloader mode and connect to the pc but i only get a black screen and then the phone restarts hence rsd lite not picking it up
Put it in recovery and try to flash another sbf, it should work.
Trough rsd lite.
try that just now and still no response on the pc, and i know the usb port is working because i charged the phone
Are you sure your drivers for phone are correctly installed?
Explain correctly installed?
yeah so what about when i try going into boot loader and get a blank screen?
In the early development of moto driver's phone wasn't recognised by rsd lite.
I didn't hear of that problem anymore though. The solution was to reinstall / install drivers again or try on another pc.
Cable could also be a problem.
Are you trying to enter bootloader with the cable connected to phone? If yes try without and after connect it.
The cable isnt the problem, im sure of that and i tried on two other laptops but they are 64 bit windows 7 but anyways why when i press "power+vol up + camera" i only get a black screen and not black screen with other milestones?
I'm thinking thats the problem or reason why rsd lite not picking up the phone cuz its not in bootloader mode
Ahhh
It took some time since last used bootloader.
But I think is power + x for bootloader.
==== update ====
my bad that's for recovery
oky just tested:
it's power + up key from keyboard
now when i first pressed the power i got a black screen, so i pressed the power again while holding the up key .. and voila:
bootloader 90.78
battery ok
....
good luck ..
when this happened to me i was shocked so much , but then i got it fixed so yay
sigh was trying that from lastnight but no luck
Does anybody have a video to how this done because i'm wondering if i'm doing it right cuz i'm still getting black screen when trying to go into bootloader, i pressed "power + up button on DPAD" and then pressed the power button again but still black screen
While the phone is off, hold the up button on the D-pad and press the power button. Do not let go of the up button until the bootloader screen comes up.
while the phone is off? i can't turn off the phone because its just looping so i take out the battery then put it in and press up and power button so is that the right way?
Yes,
If it doesn't work, for pre 90.78 bootloader I think it was another combination of keys.
Google it
Got it all wrong, the problem was that a app was installed and then the phone was restarted then the looping start at the android sign
no luck, the ways i see is the same as urs

about the video:
found this on youtube:
bootloader:

recovery:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3Vl9NbU6Ag&feature=related
if you enter recovery try wiping everything / factory reset and see if it get into android.
other than this i haven't got any other idea,
it is possible to reboot it with adb if you got a rom that supports adb at boot. ex CM7. cm6 and froyo rom not sure but this is a long shot.
so yeah, I'm trying to flash CM7.2 to my friends Mini, but her phone has a broken Home button... so... I can't even get into download mode so I could use Odin to flash CWM to the device.
I got as far as getting it rooted, then I thought that I'd be able to flash CWM via RomManager, since I did that on my other friends Desire that had problems with some other button. But in RomManager when I choose to flash CWM it asks me to confirm my phone model, but doesn't show a option for the Mini? I checked on CWM's homepage and there they got a recovery for the mini so why isn't it in RomManager?
So anyone of you got any idea of how to flash CWM without that damn home button? Something as ADB or something?
Please help, this is so damn frustrating!
EDIT: SERIOUSLY NEED HELP ASAP! I thought that if I managed to get into the stock recovery I might be able to flash something from there, BUT APPARENTLY the stock recovery uses the Home button instead of the power button to choose an option, so now I'm stuck in stock recovery, can't choose anything, and when rebooting the phone boot back into the recovery! what the **** samsung? I can't get past recovery without a homebutton? not even pulling the battery helps!!! The phone is practically bricked now
Do not even think of using ROM Manager. It is responsible for many hard bricks for galaxy mini users.
Maybe you should get the home button fixed. :| Without that how you gonna multi task? Soft keys? Better fix it or sell the phone. Not worth keeping it without a working home button.

I know that the homebutton is rather important but it's not my phone, it's my friend's phone and she doesn't care if it works or not as she doesn't use the phone that much for multitasking.
oh by the way, I managed to get ONE successful home button press while in the recovery I placed a pen on top of the button and applied all of my super-human strength on that sucker phone rebooted normally, didn't get it into download mode though tried multiple times but no luck, just that one single press... might crack this phone open and see if I can fix that stupid button, or atleast see if I can short 2 contacts while the phone is open and get a home press that way
and I guess there isn't a way to flash anything on this thing without that pesky button
search on google for an application called CWM.apk it does work on our mini and it is a kind of rom manager
in command prompt type
adb reboot download and you will be in download mode
I wanted to reboot my phone, oneplus3t, into recovery mode to wipe the cache partition. So I pressed the combination that I knew from Moto X Style i.e. power + volume down (my bad, I know).
That brought some weird chinese menu. I couldnt read it. I pressed power on some random option and a file manager menu came up in english. But I cant go back from it. I can only go deeper into the folders.
Now my phone is displaying the oneplus logo at the top and nothing else. How do I boot my phone back to the home screen?
Please help urgently. Phone is hardly 2 days old and completely stock.
Never mind. Found the solution here: https://www.androidexplained.com/oneplus-3-recovery-mode/
