Anybody know how to get into Bootloader mode on the Inspire 4G? I have tried holding the Volume Down button while restarting and all the phone does is vibrates and reboots normally. Am I missing something?
You're doing it right (Vol Dwn + Power)
Just make sure to hold volume first before you hold power.
Make sure you have fastboot turned off in sense.
I press volume down, then select "restart". Keep holding power down until you get into bootloader.
I take the battery door off to power off, then slap it on real quick then hold volume - down, then hold power button. It can be a little tricky to do. Then ull be in bootloader and have four options to choose from. Ive only done it manually this way because i was in boot loop. Was scared ****less the first time i got boot loop, cause i wasnt sure if there was a way to get to recovery manually lol.

Are you guys booting into clockworkmod? When I hold down volume and power it goes into that.

If you manually do the volume button and power button trick it should put you in bootloader mode then you can choose to boot into recovery, ive never had my inspire boot right into recovery unless i choose it in rom manager.

i tried doing that but it just goes to fastboot the reason that i want it to go to bootloader im trying to re-flash it back to stock...
Power your phone off. Now that your phone is off hold the volume button down and tap the power button. Now you should be in bootloader mode. If your trying to get into recovery mode download rom manager from the marketplace.

be sure you have Fastboot turned off in Applications.
Another thing you can do is download Quickboot from the market...then boot into bootloader from there. Quickboot>bootloader
Is it really that difficult??lol, for me when I hold the power button while phone is on, it gives me multiple options to reboot , including bootloader and recovery...
If your phones off , then just holy the vol down and off key .
Oh and I have fastboot on and I have no problems.

That's because your running a ROM with an extended power menu. Other people might not be.
A lot of the people that are having problems are probably running sense roms and have fastboot on. I got confused by this at first because with fastboot on it doesn't actually shut off so the down and power method doesn't work

You can download quick boot from the market. Makes so much easier booting into recovery.
yeah Im trying to do that I am able to boot in where it shows Hboot and then you have other options to choice from but Im not all able to select anything it just scans and then go to the scan mode and ask if i want to update
I was thinking about installing the gingerbeast. Has any installed that?
I did a nanadoid back up went into Rom Manger and clicked flash C/W-R and I made that..and I did that backup current ROM also.

You can delete it either using a file manger app like astro, root explorer etc or you can do it by connecting your phone to your PC.
As to flashing a rom. Place the file in the root of your SD card to make it easier to find. I prefer to do my flashing manually. Boot into recovery either through rom manager or through hboot. Scroll down to wipe data/factory reset. Select with power button ans confirm in the next screen. Next go into advanced and select delete dalvik cache. Confirm. Now select go back and choose install from SD card. Scroll to gingerbeast rom and select and confirm.
And yes you'll be able to reads your wallpaper

awesome man thanks Ill give this a shot and see what its about now i did see online about the android 2.3 gingerbread htc inspire did anyone try this?
Hello, I would like to start by writing that I have been searching the web and forums for 2 days attempting to figure out how to restore my phone.
I have rooted my g2x with super one click. Then i installed rom manager and flashed clockwork mod
I did a back up.
I then attempted to flash cyanogen nightly. Installation went well, then rebooted and here we are. Stuck,
When rebooting and entering the recovery menu there are 4 options and i am able to scroll using the VOLUME keys. Here is where the problem starts, I cannot select any of the options using the power button or any other button that i have tried.
The android is sitting next to the white box and this is what it says
FORMATTING DATA
FORMATTING CACHE
FORMATTING MISC
This is all that happens. Once again the menu options do not work, but i can scroll and highlight each one.
So i pull the battery and try it again and the menu options in recovery are simply not able to be selected. So i get stuck on the LG boot logo or stuck in an unresponsive recovery menu.
I cannot find out how to use any advanced tools for my device. I do not want to do further damage to my phone.
Any help from this forum would be appreciated. Thank you.
they wont help you, they are too "advanced" I wish I could help but like you, I followed verbatom instruction and wrecked many a phone...
Have you tried to reflash CWM with Rom Manager?

I am having this same problem
It depends on what CWM you flashed. So which one? It may be expecting you to use the soft keys or it may be expecting the power key for selection. If all else fails download the one click installer and start completely over. I have flashed mine (GS II and GS II SR) several times and rooted it with no issues whatsoever.
I am stuck at this stage as well. I have attempted the steps in sites listed, however when I hold the volume up+volume down and then plug in the usb, my computer is not reading the g2x.
Help?
Ok. Here's what happened, I installed ROM Manager which includes ClockWork Mod. When it prompted for a device I had to choose the LG Optimus One P500. I think by choosing this device instead of the P506(Thrive) it caused my phone to loop on the boot screen. Read a post on XDA by someone who had the same problem.
When I press Vol.up +Power+Home keys I get into ClockWork Mod but it looks very fuzzy and when I select options nothing happens. Can someone please help me get back to stock. Thanks very much in advance.
Few days back I flashed my phone with stock Rom GB using Odin. I only uploaded PDA file ,as I red procedure given on some website. After that it says following and not going to download mod.
Android system recovery <3e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
Enter: OK Key, Select: Vol UP / Vol Down
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
# Manual Mode#
The only buttons that do anything are the volume/arrow keys. If I press the power button, the Samsung logo shows up, but then it comes back to this screen. Same thing if I take the battery out.
Any ideas what button(s) will let me select one of the options?some one to put me right .thanks
Sounds like you need to put it back into download mode and reflash stock if you are in a recovery loop.
To enter download mode: pull the battery. replace battery. Hold down volume up and volume down simultaneously and connect via USB to your computer.

I've had this happen before. Just use volume up/down to select "wipe data/factory reset" and press the power button. After that, select "reboot system now" and push the power button again. Your phone should be fine. If it doesn't work, you can always try using the Heimdall One-Click in the dev forum to go to stock Gingerbread.

same problem
i am experiencing the same problem. I had installed passion ics custom rom for sgs4g and the phone kept rebooting so i managed to boot the phone in download mode and install the stock rom in odin now phone only boots up in recovery not allowing me into the android rom no matter how many times i reboot. also ive attempted to install other roms i had on my sdcard that worked before through cwm and i get the same problem. If anyone would happen to have a solution or any info on this problem it would be greatly appreciated thank you
I accidentally flashed a wrong CWM to my Broadcom BCM23550 device. And when during the course of flashing it got stuck on Installing system update screen which got an Android Icon on it with open chest and a progress bar stuck on 1/3. I tried to pull out the battery and booted it again but nothing happened the same thing is happening again and again CWM is appearing when i press volume rockers but when I reboot it gets directed to the same screen and I can't scroll properly in CWM too... Please anyone help me to fix it.
Well perhaps it is because the update was not completely installed. Some updates can take longer than expected. If you're still booting to CWM, try using the volume rocker to navigate up or down on the menu. Press the power button to enter or select an item or option. Look for "reboot system" and see if it will boot properly this time.
