Hi Captivators!
The power button (lock button) is not working. the phone only turns on when battery is re-inserted or when it is plugged in for charging. I cant manage to flash any ROM on recovery because of that. Any way i can re-map the buttons so the volume button responds to powering on/off?
thanks
There are several threads in the general and q&a about this problem....
But also.... Boot into the recovery (and since ur power button is messed up) u can navigate through the cwm recovery with the "capacitive" buttons on the captivate. --- Menu= Down, Home= Up, Back arrow= Back, Search button= Select

Here's my dilemma. I flashed CM7 RC4 to my n1 last night, now it is stuck in a loop of the boot animation and will not proceed any further. I'd boot into the bootloader, but my power button's been dead for a month, ADB won't recognize my phone to reboot-bootloader. Am I boned?
Pull the battery, connect your phone to a charger then hold the trackball while re-inserting the battery. Make take a few attempts, but it should eventually boot into fastboot. You could also hold volume down instead of the trackball if you just want hboot...

Now i'm getting the battery indicator flashing green/orange. I can mess with it until I eventually get it charging solid. Is there any quick workaround for this?
Now I'm in fastboot. Is there a way to get into recovery without power button?
Is your bootloader unlocked?

yes. indeed it is. If it helps, I have the latest CWM installed.
Place a copy of your recovery image in your sdk tools folder, connect via fastboot and type:
fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img
(use the real name of your recovery image)

What steps should I take to force recovery mode if I have an EVO? I've tried holding volume up while power but it vibrates three times and does nothing. I'm stuck in the boot loader screen.
*-**EDIT
I was able to fix it doing a hard reset.
Turn the power off. If your HTC EVO 4G is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
Hold the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO

In most versions of CWM (if not all), you can make selections using the Search capacitive key.

Hello dear all,
Yesterday i installed CyanogenMod 7.2 on my HTC Hero (Sprint) CDMA. - It was awesome and worked great!
and today, i wanted to update my radio. I just found it from my folder. (It was downloaded some days ago)
I copied the file (update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26-signed) to SD card root and reboted my phone with recovery.
Installed from sd card and it just stucked while updating radio.
So i waited so long and nothing happens.
Then i put my battery out and inserted it.
Tried to power on the device but NO POWER ON. Even no power on LED when it connected to charger.
I just want to mention that IT WONT WORK IF I PRESS (VOL DOWN + POWER/ HOME + POWER/ MENU + POWER/ VOL DOWN + GREEN + POWER )
When i press Power button + VOL UP, it vibrates 3 times
What can i do to get my phone back to normal?
Please help me.
Thank you.

Hold volume button down and then press power button. This should load fastboot and allow you to either install stock image if loaded on sdcard or get into recovery menu.
Hope this helps.

Looks like you flashed a "hero," not a "heroc" radio? They always say the only way to really brick your hero is to mess up flashing a radio :/

Is there any way to re-flash this?
Unfortunately not, without hand flashing equipment and a bit of engineering knowledge your phone is a brick. There is no way to recover it.

Hi!
I've just upgraded my Galaxy S Plus to the official 2.3.6 Gingerbread. Everything seems ok, maybe a bit slow though, I'd like to do a master reset but I can't be able to access the Recovery mode by pressing Volume Up and Power, Nothing happens. It just starts up normally.
I can't find anything regarding this matter.
Hopefully someone can help me.
Thanks :cyclops:
Odp: Galaxy S Plus no recovery mode
The correct combination to activate the recovery is VolUp+Home+Power.

Have you rooted the device?
You need to do this to get recovery - CWM

press volume up + power until you see samsung logo, wait a couple of seconds then release power and then volume up. you should see an android out of the box, press menu. you shuld be in recovery now. you don't need root to do this, and you can root your sgs+ from stock recovery (i have an sgs+)
it worked

Hello all, a friend of mine is having some trouble getting into recovery, holding the key combos then letting go of power and then pressing it again, blah blah blah but it always boots into hardware control mode with no options to boot into recovery, we've tried several key combos with varying speed and no matter what we do it goes into that mode. It seems that other people have had this problem.... the device is on stock 4.4 and is rooted and the freedom flex app with TWRP installed, booting into recovery from android works fine and recovery is booting properly from there, any help is greatly appreciated
thanks

All I have to do is hold down the power + volume down and it goes straight into recovery mode. Have you tried pressing and holding volume down+power until logo appears then press and hold again? The only other solution is using adb.

Press volume Down+power as long as you see the logo. Released both buttons and immediately press again..
If that's not working the after the logo press Volume Up or Volume up+volume down...
