Hi!
I accidently pressed "apply .zip from sideload" in Clockwork Recovery, and now I'm stuck on a screen saying:
Sideload started...
Now send the package you want to apply
to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"..
.
How do I exit this/reboot? I've pressed the power button for about 2 min, and nothing happens..
EDIT: I really need help now! The phones battery ran out when in this Sideload mode, now when I try to charge it, it's only an orange LED turned on, and I can't turn the phone on! It doesn't vibe and the screen's just black!
EDIT2: The phone's on now, I just had one of those panics..
If you ever get in it again by mistake, and you have a rom .zip you could flash, flashing that will work the same as if you had selected flash zip from sd card. Rather than get the .zip from the sdcard though, it will get the zip file from your pc via usb.
I have no idea why we can't cancel or hard reset/power off in this mode.
check my thread here for what happened to me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200359&highlight=sideload&page=2
It seems left over drivers from my galaxy s 2 were causing me issues on my first 2 computers, but the 3rd computer was completely fresh with no previous driver installations and worked a charm to flash the zip.

huh i have xperia neo, xperia t, xperia x2, sammy s2 (miss's ex-phone) and friends nokia c-something and ofc xperia z installed here and i have no problems with drivers
I'd never had any issues either, that includes rooting, flashing CWM, bootloader unlocking and using flashtool with it. For some reason it didn't like like fastboot mode (threw back errors for any commands typed, the device was recognized, but not useable, it wasn't showing as [sideload] like it was once on the fresh pc)
Accidentally did that before also.
to get out of this mode. press the power button and Vol+ button until you get a vibrate confirmation and the phone screen blanks. keep pressing on the button combination until you get 3 vibrate confirms that would hard shutdown the phone. press the power button until the phone give a vibrate indicating its powering on.

You sure it was on the XZ when it happened to you? No button combination for any length of time works. I tried power, vol up, vol down, power + vol up, power + vol down, vol up + vol down. All for 10 sec, 15 sec, 1min +. Nothing.
I've been there too some time ago and after short period of panic and holding power for various length of time, I eventually pressed power + vol up (can't remember how long but not long for sure) which did the trick.
power + vol-up is the RPM cpu signal to reset the SoC and if you continue to hold it power off. however, there is something else you can do too, the mini adb that runs for sideload understands adb reboot.

On razr i, press power + vol-DOWN till the cel reboot... and its down
Anyone who gets here with the HTC One: power + voldown under a bright light (light sensor). I spent an evening trying every possible combination (this was the closest thread to the subject) until I read the 'under a bright light' thing elsewhere which did the trick.
it's work for me (currently using SG SIII mini) with (power) + (volume+).. it let me back to CWM "homepage" (the main page)..

So.... Been playing with this for the last two days trying to root this phone.
I've rooted a few other phones, so I do have experience with the overall process, but I am unable to even boot this phone into Recovery. I have tried booting into recovery by holding down both volume buttons + power and from adb terminal "adb reboot recovery."
Neither method works. The phone will boot (or reboot from adb) and brings up the "at&t World Phone" screen and then nothing else appears. The first time I tried this it actually wouldn't boot up even after pulling the battery and trying to start normally, it still sat at the same screen. I let it sit all day today at the screen until the battery died. I was finally able to get it to boot up earlier.
If anyone can help, that'd be greatly appreciated. Let me know what info I need to add.
I usually just press and hold both volume buttons and power then release just the power button and keeping the volume buttons still pushed on the 2nd time the white at&t screen pops up... Works for me every time.

hold volume up+down and power key btw this is wrong section to post supposed to be in general
Oh sorry, didn't realize it was supposed to be posted in general.
I've tried the Volume Up/Down + Power and this does not work, as I stated originally.
I've also tried to do it from the adb shell, which also does not work.
Does anyone have any idea why I can't access recovery?
I"m having a similar issue. Holding volume up+down and power and releasing in any combination just boots the phone up. If I just hold volume up+down and power the phone alternates between the AT&T World Phone screen endless.
Yes u have to let go of the pwr button when the phone screen turns on

I've tried just about every combination of the Volume Up/Down + Power and no luck.
I've also tried the following ADB commands, with no luck, it just reboots the phone:
adb reboot recovery
adb reboot-boatloader
When I hold Volume Down + Power I get the a Yellow Triangle with a Android guy with a shove with the text "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!"
When I hold Volume Up + Power I get an Android guy with the following text: "POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE"
For kicks, I tried to to flash a rooted update.zip via the Volume Down + Power way with the Samsung update software, the same way I have done with the Samsung Moment. Wasn't sure if it'd work, but worth a try.
Any one else have any ideas or suggestions?
Phishie, do you have a final release version? Or anything special about the phone you have?
I just press the two volume buttons first (to make sure theyre pressed before you hit power), then press the power button, as soon as the screen turns on, I let go of everything and it works just fine, no need to have ridiculously complicated instructions.
The trick is to make sure both volume buttons are pressed BEFORE you hit power. Then release. Easy as pie
Also, if you guys are having too much trouble, just download the one click root/unroot. It will run, boot your phone into recovery, then all you have to do is scroll to install packages with volume key and hit power. Done.
Trust me, I am making sure I'm pretty the keys completely. I've literally tried it fifty times by now.
And I've also tried the One Click Root. This does not boot the phone into recovery either. It just sits at the AT&T World Phone screen forever and will actually get stuck here and will not boot up normal even by pulling the battery and powering it back up. It'll just get stuck at the for-mentioned screen. I have to connect it to adb and reboot it there to get it out of the loop it's stuck in.
that doesnt sound good. Maybe you need to try a factory reset? are you running stock rom and everything?
When I first got the phone I did a factory reset.
Yea, it's completely stock to my knowledge. But I have a different ROM than the final release version that everyone else has. This is a pre-production device.
same problem
I try all the combos as well, no luck, would the combos be different for 2e vs 3e recovery?
I try combo, it powers on, the same thing happens, the at-t comes up, goes for a second, then screen brightens, wait a bit and then the home row buttons light up, hangs there... doesnt matter which kernel or which rom I flash, same thing, adb and other stuff wont work as they need usb debugging enabled, which mine isn't.
Is there a way to mod the phone files and flash to enable usb debugging? Anyway to remap the buttons to 2 button vs 3 button?
Everyone post your methods for entering recovery please?
I have read over and over again that you hold down both volume buttons, and the power button, and it'll boot into recovery - but it's never worked for me. Last night, by accident, I let go of the 'up' volume button, only the 'down' was down along with the power button and low and behold - recovery mode. Is this proper procedure maybe only for certain phones? I was so frustrated, all that would happen with three buttons held down is the AT&T logo screen would flash on and off. I guess I'm just looking for affirmation here.

It's always been a fickle thing for me. I just use ADB for recovery.
Turn on USB Debugging, open cmd prompt in Windows, navigate to where you have android\tools, then adb reboot recovery
I prefer it because it is reliable. I know I can do hardware keys to recovery but I always seem to require 3 or 4 tries before I can pull it off right.
Thank you - I'm definitely going to have to get more familiar with ADB. I have it set up, but I've never used it. Reliability is what I want, I really don't like the panic attacks in the middle of a ROM install!
Let GO
I think you missed an important step of the process of getting into recovery.
After you see the AT&T screen the 2nd time, LET GO of the power button.
Some phones are quirky about which button to let go of, and according to some posts, european builds do it with just one volume button and the power button. (I think)
Anyway, glad you got there, but be sure to let go of the power button next time.
Out of curiosity, does download mode work?
I can get into download mode with Odin no problem, but not with just the buttons, unless I'm doing that wrong, too.
I did try letting go of the power button, but all that did was boot the phone.
These things are so tricky, and the panic swells when it doesn't work and you're trying to flash a ROM for only the second time in your life!
I know the feeling... when your heart starts racing in your chest..
Been there.

Hello everyone,
I cant use the 3 button combo at all to get to recovery mode. I've done the "Down Vol., Home, and Power" before and it worked. However, i am not able to get to it after i flashed Bionix-v 1.2, and 1.3. I pretty sure its not because of the ROM, but i just can't figure it out WHAT! I've tried the "Vol. UP, Down, Power" as well, but still not luck. Please help!
Thanks,
Yahase

Turn your phone off, and plug in the USB cable. That worked for me.
While your phone is switcher off, press and hold both the Up and Down buttons in the volume. And then plug in the USB.

Hi all,
My phone is EU retail, locked, unrooted. I updated from ICS to JB via manual download of the update and installation via SD card as explained in one of the more popular threads here. Now after the JB update, I want to enter recovery in order to clear the cache.
With ICS, I was perfectly capable to enter the stock recovery. Press power + vol. down for a few seconds, and the (fastboot?) menu appreaed where I could select recovery. Then the dead robot shows up, I pressu vol. up + vol. down and I had the expected options. Now on JB however, this does not work. It does not matter how long i hold power + vol.down, it always boots the system. When I press power + vol. down and keep holding the two buttons, the green LED goes on and off, then the phone vibrates, showes the red M and seemingly starts to boot. Then the screen goes off and it repeats the 3 steps (LED, vibrate, red M) but then goes on to boot up the system...
Is this supposed to happen?
Same here. It looks like there is no Recovery installed at all, so will try to flash one tonight.

Thanks, this releasing of the power button while still holding vol. down works reliable to get into fastboot. However, when I select recovery, the screen goes black? Something is not quite right with my phone...
Edit: I seem to get the hang of it. Now I finally get into recovery. When I select it from the fastboot menu, the screen gets black for a couple of seconds and then the dead robot appears. To get the options in recovery, I press both vol up + down at the same time twice. Initially, the layout in recovery is broken up. Just two blue lines at the top and a few characters in green at the left border. Once I press any of the volume buttons, the options finally appear.
Hmm I have not gotten into recovery on JB even once...can't get in.
help please!!
i have de same problem
when i push power button, the green led turns on for a few seconds and then the phone get off... i can not enter into recovery mode either
anyone know how to fix it or fix it already
thanks!! :crying:
The above tip doesn't work for me - either my timing is wrong or I don't understand the instuctions.
Someone else kindly explained it differently and eventually I got it working. That was posted in some other thread and I don't think it was directly related to recovery - I can't even find that post now!
I have found people saying they've got root on the RAZR M on locked bootloader Jelly Bean...but you need to access stock recovery which I can't do now.

That's the original post...I don't fully understand it.
I am grateful to that poster for trying help people - so I don't want to be misunderstood! :good:
If I were to describe the boot process to someone, nothing 'vibrates' - so I don't understand that. My phone doesn't vibrate when boot begins, and no 'i' vibrates either. Also, there are two 'i's. There is the i in Intel and in Inside. I'm guessing it's the first i. Believe me, I have tried 10 combinations like 50 times. I know it can be done, but can't do it using that post.
Nope, someone else explained it differently and I got it the first time. It wasn't a recovery thread so it's hard to find now.
Your Razr does not vibrate after boot? This is strange. Ok, let me try to describe the process based on my Razr i. (As simple as possible)
1. The mobile is turned off
2. Press and hold the Vol- button
3. Now press and hold the Power button and observe the green light. It turns on at the same time I press the Power button. The green light is on for approx. 2 seconds than it turns off.
4. Just at the moment when the green light turns off my Razr vibrates twice within 1 second.
5. I need to release the Power button before the 2. vibration and at least 0,5 seconds later the Vol- button. This is the point to get in the fast boot menu.
Without any vibration you should try to release the Power button just at the moment when the green light turns off - followed by releasing the Vol- button 0,5 seconds later.

Just keep holding it, it takes a bit. The capacitive buttons will flash for a bit but keep holding it and it'll go dark eventually, then try try again. I think it took my six tries for trickdroid with full revovery wipes in between each one...

I had this problem too. What you have to do is have the all in one toolkit and plug your phone to you computer. Then open the toolkit and press "reboot into recovery" it should reboot your phone back to recovery mode. Then proceed to installing your Rom. Remember to not use the touchscreen at ALL when using aroma or your phone will freeze up

aroma has a nasty issue right now where you can use the touch screen to make your selections for options and stuff, BUT sometimes(more often than not) the aroma app will freeze. even if you dont use the touch screen and use the vol/power buttons to make your selections it has more like a 15% to freeze. It has something to do with the way their database is setup i think. if all else fails and your phone freezes. hold down the power button for roughly 15 seconds. this simulates a battery pull. while holding down the power button you should see your back and home buttons flash. Once the flashing has stopped it means the phone should be off. at that point push the power button again for like .5 seconds and the phone should power on. if you want to get into the bootloader to access recovery hold down the vol down button while pushing the power button for the .5 seconds and it should load the bootloader and you can select to enter recovery.
someone else feels my pain. This happened to me Saturday. No matter what my phone wouldn't shut off and adb wouldn't work. I had to just let the battery die.

You need to hold the sensor in front of a very bright light source (did mine in front of a light bulb) and THEN hold the Power button for 15 seconds.
It will reboot. I can almost guarantee it. :good:

Holy! Thank you sir! flipped my light on, BANG thanks
Hi there i have a HTC One Mini 2 and i have forgotten the swipe password (as in the pattern).
So i turn phone off and hold power and vol down continuously and all it does is boot up (really fast).
I tried power and vol up for download mode and that doesnt work either.
So downloaded ADB, running that through command prompt (admin) and it says that my device is unauthorised.
So.....i am assuming that the usb debugging is disabled on the device. As far as i know its not been rooted.
The volume up and down work fine so its not them that dont work.
So my question is, is there any way to completely wipe the device? If so can it be rooted and it work that way?
For the record, when i connect the phone to Laptop it shows up, i have downloaded the google usb drivers, also the latest htc drivers. I turned off Anti virus and Firewall too.
Thanks in advance.
Try this: When android is up and running, press and hold VOL UP + POWER untill you see message about phone rebooting in xx seconds. Just as the screen goes black, let go of both buttons and immediately hold POWER + VOL DOWN. It should reboot into Bootloader without any delay or vibration.
