Cant select anything in recovery mode

Hello!
I really need your help, I'm stuck!
I'll try to explain what happened.
I decided to change my Samsung Captivates ROM, did all stuff which was listed in tutorials 1:1.
Downloaded Clockwork recovery manager, created that update.zip file using it.
Moved my new ROM to sd card. Then selected an option "Install rom from sd card" in Clockwork recovery manager.
Phone rebooted...
And that's all, know I can't do completely nothing, I mean I just cant use volume and power buttons to select items in menu. It's just frozen.

I found similar topic, maybe this is reason?

Anyway, I need you help, as that topic didn't helped me, as I dont know what people were talking about there.
I can view internal memory files using Droid Explorer, but I can't view sdcard's data to remove that update.zip...
What can I do in this situation?
Many thanks!

that is just worst day for me. After applying older version of Clockwerk, I was able to select in recovery menu.
I selected format user data, and after selected to install Fenix rom.
During installation, some kind of error occurred. And only thing i can see, it is At&t flash logo on my screen.
If I try to enter into recovery mode, power button (select) isn't working, only up and down buttons are working...
just one question:
What should i do? damnit...

installed in download mode.
Thanks to this guy, his screencasts 're just epic.
maybe it will help someone else

Sounds like your system is corrupt, and there is an update.zip left over from an OTA upgrade. When the stock recovery boots, it always installs update.zip then shuts down. Unfortunately the OTAs don't get deleted after installation, so if you ever get a problem, you can't enter recovery.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Download http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~grm08/ideapad/cwm-5.0.2.7-rev3-ideapad-a1.zip
2. Rename this file to update.zip, and copy it onto a micro SD card.
3. Boot up into recovery again. You'll see it do the same thing where it installs the update.zip and then shuts down, but this time it will install Clockworkmod Recovery.
4. Boot into recovery again. The Clockworkmod recovery won't automatically do an install then shutdown, you'll be given a menu instead.
5. First, try using the volume keys to scroll down to "wipe data/factory reset", and press the power key to select it. Try booting up normally again - this may have fixed your problem.
6. If this hasn't fixed the problem, get the 2643 zip file for your region from http://download.lenovo.com/slates/a1/OTA/ - copy this file on to your SD card, boot up into recovery, choose "install zip from SD card", then "choose zip from SD card" then choose the zip file that you just downloaded from Lenovo. It will install a fresh copy of the system, which should hopefully work after you reboot into the normal system.
If this doesn't fix it, or you get stuck, please post back with a description of what you tried and what happened.

In this situation you wouldn't expect the recovery to "work" in the normal way. After you've installed the Clockworkmod update.zip you'll have a working recovery again.

You didn't mention here but I saw in another thread that you attempted to use the leaked ICS installer which has messed up your A1.
If that is what you did, then you can look at these instructions for producing a bootable SD card that will allow you to boot into clockworkmod recovery and flash an OTA to get everything back to stock.

bootable SD card= linux required???
Can you help me?
I don't have linux - i install linux via virtual box
VFAT (extended fat)=FAT???

Yeah, you're going to have to install linux in a virtualbox. VFAT is built on top of the FAT filesystem.

How format SD in linux?
Computer->(My SD Card)->right click mouse->format?
or

If you read those instructions I gave, you'll see that there's a script called omap3-mkcard.sh that partitions and formats the SD card for you.

OK, thanks

Root help

Do you have a recovery there? Maybe try making a backup and flashing a root binary from a different device (galaxy for instance). I heard it sometimes works and if not you have a backup.
BTW - How is this device? Seems solid?

CWM RECOVERY and ROOT!
---

I'm getting a 'Download Warning' on my PC
It says:
Not ALL images are correctly loaded, which may cause boot up issue!
Do you still want to go on downloading anyway?
Any ideas what to do from here?

Thanks for the offer. I've sent the phone back
3G didn't work at all. I'll wait until the next one arrives and start the process again.

CWM Recovery & Root
I have successfully flashed a CWM recovery and root script on this phone. Everything works. Here's how its done:
Here is the "About" under settings on the phone that i have done this on:
First Download This:
http://www.mediafire.com/?eq9b28ua89wh8d1
This RAR Archive contains everything needed.
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS ON JELLYBEAN. [4.1]
1: Installing CWM Recovery
Extract the downloaded zip and run the flash tool. (Flash_tool.exe)
In the flash tool, click where it says "scatter-loading", and browse for "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" [It is in the: \CWM_recovery_4.1\recovery folder that was included in the downloaded archive]
Now, before flashing, MAKE SURE "RECOVERY" is the only thing ticked in the list of things to flash.
(Mine had two things ticked by default, just make sure the only thing that is ticked is the recovery.)
When the scatter file is loaded and only recovery is ticked, make sure your phone is off and the battery is out. Also make sure it is unplugged from the computer.
Now in the flash tool, click the download button at the top.
*Note: If you get: "Not ALL images are correctly loaded, which may cause boot up issue!
Do you still want to go on downloading anyway?", Just click "Yes"
Plug in your phone with the battery out and wait for it to finish flashing. If the flash tool doesnt detect the phone, it means the drivers probably aren't installed. install the drivers [included in download (MT6575_USB_VCOM_drivers)] and wait for it to finish flashing
When it flashes, you will get a popup window with a circle, showing that it has completed. you can now unplug your phone.
CWM recovery is now installed on the phone. Time to root!
2: Rooting VIA CWM Recovery
Copy the "CWM-SuperSU-v0.93_tirannozaurus.zip" to your phone's SD card.
Boot the phone into recovery. [hold volume+ and power while the phone is off]
Choose "Install zip from sd card" [using volume and power buttons] and navigate to "CWM-SuperSU-v0.93_tirannozaurus.zip"
Flash it, and then reboot the phone. You should now have root:
If you follow all of this properly in order, this should work! i am not responsible for anyone bricking their phone. Doing this is all on you.
*NOTE*
If your play store is not working [If it says there is no connection], Goto your phone's settings and set your date and time. This fixed it for me.
Also, credit to the original authors of the files. I have simply taken the required files and archived them for your convenience.

[Q] Nandroid backup

I made a nandroid back up and copied the file onto my computer, after have a screw while installing a rom I have erased everything on my phone. Now i cant work out how to install my back up. Its 2.8gig and i have copied it back on my phone but cant get my phone to register that there is a back up on it. Any help guys? Much appreciated.

If u have any custom recovery installed on your like Clockwork Mod then just switch off your phone --> press power button then when logo appears->> press the Volume down button rapidly then a screen will appear then use volume down button to scroll down to Backup and restore option --> press power button to select then browse to the last backup made
Its done
If u want to put the backup file to your phone make a folder in your sdcard namelyClockworkmod and copy the backup file to it
pls hit thanks if u think my reply was helpful

The phone is not registering the back up file. It is essentially just a 2.8 gig file doing nothing.

That has sort of worked. The back up is in there and it can be seen. But when i tell it to restore it its just goes to the standard boot up screen. and when i restart the phone its back to were it was before.
Thankyou for your help so far though.

try to wipe everything and than restore

Pretty much it's just booting normally, rather then in clockwork recovery.

I'm sorry that I can't help you more on this,but thank you very much for giving me 'thanks '.
Actually I am also new to android,just on November of 2012.I joined Xda few weeks ago.I know little about android.Will you be my friend?

[Q] Stuck in Fastboot. Please Help!!

Okay, here's the situation. I had the first version of the Skydragon 5.0 Lollipop ROM on my Verizon HTC One M8. I saw that there was a new version of Skydragon that had 5.0.1, so naturally, I wanted to update. I downloaded the ROM and flashed it through TWRP, which I already had installed. I rebooted, and the standard fastboot menu showed up without me pressing Volume Down and Power at the same time on my phone. I thought this was weird, because I didn't tell the pone to boot into any sort of menu, and the only options on the screen were HBOOT, RAMDUMP, REBOOT, REBOOT FASTBOOT, and POWER DOWN, as shown here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I selected the "reboot" option. I got rebooted into the same menu. I then selected "reboot fastboot" and the same thing happened. I then selected "hboot" and for a split second all of the normal options, including "recovery", appears, but I am unable to move the selection. Then it shows that there is an update and it asks me if I want to start the update, as shown here:
If I press the Volume Up button to update, this is what is shown after about five seconds or so:
If I press the Volume Down button to not update, this is what's shown:
Any way I try to do it, whenever it asks me to reboot, I get stuck in exactly the same situation with the same options and the same limitations, and I'm at a loss for what to do here. Can anybody help me? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Eject your SD card.. Boot to recovery (option will now work) . Once in recovery put SD card back in. Flash rom. And oh by the way, delete that 0P6BIMG.zip from your ext SD so you stop going nuts!
