Exit recovery mode - home button not working

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.

How to enter recovery mode?

Well title pretty much says what my problem is. I know there are topics that are pretty similar to this one and I read them, tryed them all and I still cannot make recovery mode on my phone work. My best guess is that network from which i bought the phone locked that somehow?
Here's what I've tryed:
Recovery Mode:
With the phone powered off
Turn phone on, while holding power button and pressing back button as shown in video below (start at watching at 0:40)
/watch?v=kReGHJw0elo
I dont think this way (below) is a proper way of entering recovery mode. Anyways i've tryed it:

nevermind.
I used this method and resolved the problem. Thanks
Recovery Mode:
With the phone powered off
UnPlug the USB cable.
Turn the phone on it’s side and use both thumbs to hold (left thumb) Vol Up and (right thumb) Vol Down
Press and hold the power button with your right index finger til you see "Virbant" release the power button and it should be on the recovery screen.

I also tryed with battery out and cable on but all other things that I've tryed sounds more like witchcraft than anything else. So is it possible that network disabled recovery mode and what do you guyz think I should do? Tnx in advance.

Recovery doesn't come preinstalled with phone! You have to install it via flashtool!

First, you need to have root access.
Then,you can install a recovery, I´d recommend you to install Dual Mode Recovery (use the search button, because then you can have both recoveries.
After that, you can enter CWM recovery with touching the screen repeatedly while it´s showing you the white "Sony Ericsson" logo, and you can enter xrecovery by pressing any button repeatedly

Kernel
I have rooted my Xperia X8 and flashed kernel nAa on it, but I can't get in recovery mode no matter what I try..

press back button for few times to enter CWM Recovery in nAa's kernel.
note: you can't successfully flash kernel into your X8 when you only have rooted your device. you need to unlock bootloader! read these threads!

for first u can't boot up to recovery. cause sony doents have default recovery. u must install manual, xrecovery/cwm recovery. u can install it with x8tool, flashtool, or manualy pushing to /system/bin folder.

Use search before posting anything. X8 recovery has two or three types. Dual mode is to either tap the screen and back button. Most recovery is back button.

I've found that sometimes going to "advanced-->reboot recovery" and then "reboot phone" sometimes fixes this. Everything seems pretty hit-and-miss though, you sometimes just need to mess around and flash the hell out of it.

[Q] I think I bricked my phone :( :( - PLEASE help!

Hi,
I tried the regular fastboot method to load CWM recovery.
Whenever it got to the point of loading the recovering, it would just say "flashing recovery on the device...".
Then, when restarting bootloader and clicking on "recovery", it would just shut down the phone.
I decided to experiment to try fix the issue, and I came across this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928551
I downloaded the ZIP file and I ran the root.bat
It flashed some boot images and now my phone wont start
It is stuck on the "warning bootloader unlocked screen" and will not go any further.
Please help . I'm so scared that I've bricked my phone. Is there ANYTHING I can do?
Thanks in advance for the help!

The methods u used can't brick your phone
Reboot in boot loader by pressing the power button and volume - button at the same time. Just at the moment the phone shuts-down/reboot release the power button. It will boot in boot loader. After this flash cwm or twrp again and with the volume down button go to recovery. Select recovery with the volume up key and u are done. Cwm/twrp is flashed and will boot in the recovery.
In recovery I would install the ROM from Omar. It will restore your system and boot.IMG so it will work. Don't forget to wipe data.
If this doesn't work flash the home made fast boot files somewhere in the development section

Thanks - I tried that. I do let go of the buttons as soon as it starts to reboot itself, but it doesn't start the bootloader - it still just shows the screen "warning bootloader unlocked". I can not get back into the bootloader

Do u reset the phone with the 4 buttons and just when it resets does your phone reboots immediately?

If I hold all 4 buttons, the screen goes blank, and the green light stays on. My PC then finds hardware called "MEDFIELD" but wont find drivers for it.
Does this help at all?

The above applies when connected with usb.
If I press all 4 buttons without USB connected, it just reboots and gets stuck on the "unlocked bootloader" message again

Just of curiosity - which button you used to select recovery - power button or vol.up button?

You should let go only of power button and hold vol.down button (at least for me)
If your PC finds hardware - can you do fastboot devices to check whether it is actually recognized properly?
And last thing - which method you used to load recovery (and were you on ICS\JB)? You were rooted and used automated methods or you unlocked bootloader and wanted to root afterwards (manually through fastboot)?

You are a GENIUS!!! A LIFE SAVER!!! I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am. BOTH of your points fixed the phone.
I could never get into recovery becuase I was pressing the power button. I could never get into fastboot becuase I was holding both the power and volume down button.
So, for anyone using a RAZR I... please note the following SIMPLE things:
1) In the bootloader menu, the power button does NOT select the option. The VOL UP button selects the option
2) To boot into BOOTLOADER : Hold both power and vol down buttons until the phone restarts, and then RELEASE the power button, while still HOLDING the volume down button! It will then load the bootloader.
Again, THANKS so so much for reviving my phone for me. I was going crazy without a phone!

I was going through everything you've faced yesterday. So yeah, glad I was of help to someone else as well)

This has never happened to me before but don't stress one bit because nothing ever permanently bad comes from this. You can forget about it being destroyed. These aren't iPhones, haha. You can get it going again pretty easy I hear. Just don't stress because there is no point and you WILL get help. Just listen to what these experienced dudes are saying and you should be back on track. Good luck!

UPDATE: Nice! Glad to see you got the help you needed and everything's back on track!

Nice that it is solved. I gave u the solution on my first post, but nice that someone els did a better job in explaining it
There is almost no possibilities to brick your device if u only flash things like the boot, system, recovery or data partition. They can he solved very easy. If u flash the other partitions like the radio u can get a problem.

Does your phone boots on recovery?
If yes, try to flash a custom rom.
If you don't want custom rom search for your country's stock rom and use odin to flash it.

i try flash the new recovery, but when i get into download mode its just only 10 second after that its restart.. i cant do anything anymore

Try just keep holding the keys to get into recovery for several loops, eventually it should go into recovery and then start getting stock rom flashed. If this doesn't work, try j-tagging (only last resort tho)
Current phone: rooted Samsung galaxy mini 2
Current rom: cm 11

I use CM10.1 improved 07 / 07 build and CWM v5 , probably due to a weak battery and phone suddenly turn off and turn on again but what happens after that is constantly vibrating , black screen and the phone fails to boot . First I tried to remove the battery and put it back the phone turns on its own without pressing the power button , then just like the above , continuous vibration ...
I tried other things , removing all installed on the phone and silence for 1 day . Replacing the battery , try to enter download mode , recovery , could but after a few seconds that happens is the same.
One thing , when I try to press the power button continuously , the mobile phone can boot successfully , and I try to enter download mode and flash a stock rom by pressing the power button continuously until the process is completed but did not help .
My conclusion is that the power button problem , or it may damage the IC associated with it . Any suggestions ? please enlightenment , gan .. thanks

SOLUTION
I have the same bug. And I mean that when I try to enter in the recovery mode, nothing happens.
If you have the same error , please continue reading this , if not, do everything else.
To force the phone to boot into recovery, you should be able to enter , first, in the download mode.
Please flash before , clockworkmod recovery. (I recomend 6.0.3.3)
Before you have flashed cwm, go to download mode again.
At the first screen, you will see an warning message. Now is the time to press some keys... see bellow (TIP: please do not skip the message with the volume up key ! )
Press the home button + volume down + volume up (home+down+up)
Note: You need to press the up+down , and hold it at the same time with the phone vibration.
Release the keys on the samsung logo screen. If you see under the ,,samsung galaxy mini 2,, an logo with clockworkmod. The problem is solved.
If you see the RAMDUMP mode, instead the recovery, go there to see my solution > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707219
IMPORTANT! > If you still see an black screen , instead samsung logo, please repeat all steps. It worked for me 100% after some long time.
