Hi, I booted into the stock recovery by holding down vol- / power and once I saw the Android box screen, I pressed the home key.
I can move through the options but I can't select anything. Anyone know how to select?
Power button?
That's the first thing I tried.
The home key again?

The search key selects in clockwork, try that.
Thanks for the suggestions, but none of them work. Maybe that's why the stock recovery is useless? I did find that holding power / vol + will reboot your phone. The home key just seems to hide/unhide the menu selection.
Also no matter what key combination I try, getting into the menu always requires a format, wipe of data, wipe of cache.

Same here.. there isn't even any confirmation before it happens. Pretty lame.
Well I wanted to make a nandoird backup....BUT when I boot into clockwork recovery, the volume up and down, move the option, but the power button makes the screen black out and nothing happens.
If I press the power button again, it turns the screen back on at the main menu.
Tried double pressing, etc.
I tried all the other face buttons, but no joy.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
I've had the same issue at times and getting to clockwork recovery through rom manager fixed my issues. How are you trying to access CWM? Powering off first then power button and volume down key? Try vice versa and see if that fixes your issue. Let us know...

I was rebooting into recovery through the rom manager into recovery.
When I boot up through power and VOL DWN I get a whole different looking interface...the mech interface and it tries to do an update.
UPDATE:
THEN I realized that the update file is in the sdcard dir....
I am so dumb....
I deleted it, then it went into the mech, interface, did recovery, then it went into the orange clockworkmod menu, then I could backup....
Thanks for the response!
Yep that'll do it! Remove that puppy!
Hi
I have a Samsung Nexus S for past 5 months. I recently upgraded to the ICS. Last week, I was listening songs on my phone and all of a sudden out of nowhere the phone re-started.
After couple of minutes, saw a message on screen saying “encryption unsuccessful, you have lost all your data. This phone will now need to rebooted”.
Underneath this message, there was only 1 option of REBOOT NOW. I had to press the button since I had no other option.
After this the phone restarted but never went past the start up animation screen. After couple of days, I gave it another shot and after going past the welcome screen, it gave me the option to register the phone again. But as soon as that screen comes up, I get all these small messages saying, email has stopped, music has stopped, android process has stopped, calendar has stopped................ at this point the phone virtually hangs itself and I can’t do anything.
Can someone please advise what is wrong with my phone and how can I fix it?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Try this, power the phone off, now press and hold the volume up & power botton at the same time, a menu should appear, now use the volume up/down buttons till "RECOVERY" is highlighted green, now press the power button, the phone will now reboot and in to recovery and show an android on the screen, at this point you need to press and hold the power button then press volume up briefly, a menu should appear, use the volume up/down buttons to highlight "wipe data/factory reset" and press the power button, now use the volume up/down buttons to highlight "Yes -- delete all user data" once this is done select "reboot system now", this process will wipe the phone and put it back to factory settings, it won't delete usb storage though so you may need erase usb storage once you're up and running again.

I would wipe cache while you're in there too.

I think that you have to push clockworkmod recovery image like when you root your device.

yeah, try using clockwork recovery.
that's much more usfeul than the stock one
i tried doing clockwork recovery, I cant unlock the bootloader, i did all the steps ie installed android drivers, went to command prompt, typed the command, I can see the option of unlocking bootloader on android but when I select yes, it still says locked. I guess I will have to give up on this phone.

Hello I accidentally put a pattern password while being half asleep. Well that doesn't matter but I want to remove it. I tried going into Clockwork Recovery v6.0.2.7. I get in to the menu and I use the volume rocker to go up or down. Also the menu/home button also goes up and down. The power button doesn't select neither does the search button. The back button doesn't do anything.
I am using LG Optimus T (p509) and using Cyanogen Mod 10.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096721
I have been trying to either figure out the password and trying to use Recovery.
Please and Thank you.
I would give this a shot:

Well the thing is I stupidly tried to use KPZ and put it back to normal but its always giving me Upgrade Error 500. If I pull of the battery and turn it out like normal it will go to the Tmobile Stick Together logo then reboot back into the Clockwork Recovery v6.0.2.7

Well the thing is that was the first thing I tried but I guess the volume rocker is to go through the menu. Also, the menu and home button also can be used to go through the menu. Only two buttons left is the search and the power button. Neither can be used to select/enter.

Im trying to factory reset a fake GS4mini labeled GT-I9190 under battery, which is locked because too many incorrect patterns.
Unable to sign-in to google account, because there is no Data Access point created.
Then I tried to factory reset the phone by accessing Android system recovery, which i could by pressing volume + and power key. But nothing happen when i click to 'wipe data/factory reset', instead it only show the warning sign page.
Appreciate if someone could help me on this.

Which button did u use to select the option, whether the home button or the power button?
Try the alterate button for selecting (i.e. If u tried to select using power button then try home button or vice versa)
Hit thanks rather than typing it now Free

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried lots of combination to access Recovery mode and to select options from menu.
Nothing happen when pressing the power button, but when i press home button the screen shows only the warning sign, again i press the warning sign i can see the menu. I can navigate though the menu by pressing Volume + and -, but when i Select an option (by Home button, Power button does not work) only the warning sing shows.
Is there any other alternative method to reset the phone, like using odin or any other tool.

If u had enabled debugging option in the settings and have necessary drivers of ur device in the pc, try the following commands using the adb:
'adb reboot bootloader'
'fastboot devices'
(in the above command u'll have ur device in the list if everything is alright)
Atlast
'fastboot -w'
