Hi, I'm in the middle of rooting a Milestone for a friend and can't get past the part of the guide where the device is booted into recovery mode and the volume up and camera buttons are pressed as the volume up key on his handset is broken. Is there any way to get around this? Either a software method to get around the volume key being pressed, or a way to actually fix the keys?
Well if you get the phone into bootloader you can adb reboot into recovery hope it helps

My wifes hero has stopped booting. no biggie, I was going to put CM6 on it anyways. The problem, though, is that she managed to break the volume down button somehow. I dont know how to get it into recovery now. I cant hold volume down and power it up, and I cant force it into recovery from the ROM itself.
Are there any other methods?
Edit: Ignore this, I managed to get in there with a razor blade and pop the volume down button up. Seems as though it was jammed. Are there any other methods for getting to recovery though?
You can do it via adb if you are at your computer or if you download Rom manager it has the option built in.... also, quick boot from the market can do it too

Home key + power takes you directly to recovery.
Or terminal emulator. Just type reboot recovery and hit enter.

I changed my splash screen using the herc.img method - The only downside I see to this is not being able to boot into recovery mode by pressing the volume down key and the power key at the same time - I can obviously boot into recovery mode via alternate methods - like if I am already powered up by using Quick Boot or if my phone is off, I can use adb reboot recovery and that works -
but I'm thinking more along the lines of if I need to get into recovery and I am not at home and can not get to a computer -
any other ways that work?
you can't get into the hboot screen?
You can access recovery by pressing POWER and holding the HOME button.
But if you can't access hboot/fastboot screen...that seems like a much bigger problem to me.
Should have nothing to do with the splash screen. I changed mine, and can access fast boot and recovery fine

I'm trying to rom my brothers captivate for him I have used odin to put back to 2.1 and am at the point to reinstall update in recovery mode but it will not go in I have been trying for awhile holding both volume keys and power it on but it never goes to recovery just boots normal
What is the build number? Did you have the three button recovery before flashing back to 2.1? If not, you used the wrong package, you want the one with the three button fix.
Search for "how to use adb." Once you set it up plug in phone with development turned on and then run adv reboot recovery or download and it will get you there.

Turn off the phone and turn on holding the power and volume down key, then release the power button you'll get to original recovery then restore. See if it helps

Go into settings and turn off 'fastboot mode'. I think its in power settings ? Been a long time since I looked for it.

You want to go into recovery mode?
make sure fast boot is unchecked in power settings
turn your phone off
take the battery out to make sure its off
put it back in and hold volume down + power for about 4 seconds until you come to a white screen
And provided you have a custom recovery installed, use volume and power buttons to go to recovery
hope that answered your question

A simply Google search would provide you with the answer. ClockworkMod and 4Ext are 2 of the options you have.
You also could have found the information by simply reading the sticky posts in the section and the Development section.
You can use this method without disabling fastboot option in settings. Just click "reboot" and wait all lights are turned off. On the time, press and hold "volume down" immediately and wait for three android at the bottom on the screen. If you saw them, you suceed. Reboot option is fully turn off the phone and turn on with a fresh workspace for the booting. Just like a computer.

Easiest way to get a recovery is to download rom manager from the market/play store and flash recovery from within the app
you need to be rooted though
