I was attempting to install a new ROM and after performing a data wipe and wiping cache, a message came up saying E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] Back menu button Disabled
Dalvik Cache wiped.
Whenever I try to install a zip from sd card, the recovery screen goes blank and only the little box and android images remain.
What can I do to fix this?
You are supposed to use the power button to select the zip file. Are you?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
Yes, I am. I can move around the first group of options freely but whenever I click any of them the screen goes blank. Pressing the power button again just brings me back to the first screen.
Just reboot into recovery by Adb. You disabled the power button selection. Now it will only shut the screen off. I normally just cycle through the menu andbit will come back on. But a reboot will fix it

To you and the OP, when this happens, press both volume buttons at the same time to re-enable the power button to make selections.

This is great info. I have always re-booted when this happened to me. Luckily, it was never when trying to recover from a boot loop.

I think u have to keep pressing(not hold) volume up(or down) to reenable the selection key. It will tell u if it did.

I've quoted the OP here but didn't really see an answer to this issue. I am running Unnamed 2.2.1 and don't really have any problems with the rom itself. I just notice this if I clear the dalvik cache.
Anyone know what this is?
edit: oops, I just realized I was not in my phone's forum. sorry. Anyway. any thoughts? I searched to try to find a solution and this is the only thread I could find that addressed the issue.

hi all,
heres the deal. i rooted my defy with superoneclick, it worked great.
heres the problem and what i think is the cause but i need a solution!
PROBLEM: i switch my phone on, it starts normally
motoblur screen
then
T mobile screen
then
the normal swipe unlock
i ulnlock it fine but as soon as i do the wallpaper dissapears/goes black. i cannot access any apps. none of the buttons work (menu,home,return/back,search) but the info bar/ menur bar thing at the top that swipes down works fine and what ever is in it works fine i.e when i plug into usb im able to choose portal and tools and those other 3. but when i just leave my phone on lock then press power button/activate unlock screen. it will show normal background with time and everything looks normal.
the CAUSE ( i think )
i was installing apps and deleting motoblur stuff. but it it was one of those two, i isntalled an app and i deleted a file at the same sort of time. the app installed was some startup app killer or a firewall of some type. or it could have been that i deleted an apk file that had a real short name i think, like blur.apk
PLEASE HELP ME. I need a solution FAST its my first smartphone ever and i paid alot for it. if you need my phone info it was
moto defy android 2.1 uk version but then rooted with super one click
THANK YOU IN ADVANCED FOR ANY HELP
ps i have installed rsd lite and it is recognised by it but thats as far as i know what to do...
Did you get my PM lol saw you in the other forum.
try to do a factory reset on the phone from the recovery menu. if anything, reflash your rom or pick a new one. I had this issue with a few mods/roms/kernals aswel.

i sent you a pm too. thanks for being so quick to reply. but i dont know how to do that stuff im a noob this is my first androidsmartphone ever but im a very quick learner
all good. For my phone. ( droid incred.) when the phone is off i hold power and the volume up key. then i select recovery using the volume keys. I know the buttons to push are different on some phones so you might neeed to use google to find the right 2 keys to hold down while booting
i currently have it in boot loader mode, it says battery ok, ok to program, transfer mode, usb. and thats all it says. no recovery options at all
Ok, found this in another forum. this is how to get into your boot menu i guess:
The boot menu happends when you press the volume down key and the power button.
When it takes you to the triangle part press the volume up key and the power button this action brings up another menu on which you can reboot and other settings.
the first triangle with exclamation mark inside it with the lil andorid man comes up, but the second menu doesnt, im holding vol down and power to get up this image, the to get second one you say to do vol up and power...i tried it, held it for a while but still no joy
ok, give this a try
"If you swipe the bottom right corner when you see the triangle you will get a menu. From there you can reboot or reset"
Still looking for more
nope sorry still dont work. i really appreciate you spending your time doing this it realy does mean ALOT. thank you i hope the solution isnt far away!
Ok, this is from the t-moble forms:
One suggestion...
Pull the battery.
Hold down the volume down key and press the power button.
Continue to hold the volume down key until you seem something happening on the screen.
This should boot you into recovery mode, you'll see a little green Android stood next to a yellow warning sign.
Press the bottom-right corner of the screen, a menu should appear.
Use the volume keys to scroll up and down.
Scroll to 'Wipe DATA/factory reset' and press 'ok' (bottom-left of screen) - you may need to re-confirm in a sub-menu.
After the wipe completes, scroll to the 'reboot' option and press 'ok'.
If you do that, you completely wipe the handset, same as if you performed a full factory reset on the handset.
Obviously, this will get rid of anything you have on the handset but if your only other option is an exchange, you've nothing to lose really.

it says it worked that it did the reset properly but still same original problem.
it says first line....
E:cant open /cache/recovery/command
that is in the recovery mode / reset
do you have a rom that you can try to flash? any rom really just to rule out a rom issue. you can try to find a rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=855&order=desc&page=1
im going to give it a try ill get back to you to let you know how its going within the next 20 mins, thanks for all your help
here is an option for a factory reset.
1. Turn the power off on the Defy (if it's frozen, pull the battery out & reinsert it)
2.Hold the volume down button
3. Press and hold the button until the device turns on
4. You'll get a menu that allows FASTBOOK, RECOVERY, CLEAR STORAGE, and SIMLOCK
5. Select CLEAR STORAGE, by pressing the Volume Down button
6. Press and release the Power
7. Now just confirm your decision Volume Up for YES, Volume Down for NO
it says on rsd lite . fail flashing process. unable to retrieve initialization values from INI (0x07029);phone connected
isnt working for some reason
that menu...mine says
from top to bottom
Android system recovery <2a>
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
(then at the bottomit says...)
E:cant open /cache/recovery/command.
but yet it will still go through the process like it is working but it doesnt fix it
Did you try the top option. Android system recovery <2a>
i wish i had that same phone to replicate this problem
im sorry i didnt write it clear enough the top android recovery thing isnt an option, its like the header/title for the program or page its written in red. the options to choose are in blue
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.

With the information provided, you may be in a bootloop. You need to boot to recovery.
1. Hold the power button to force power down the phone.
2. Quickly release the power button and IMMEDIATELY press the power button and both buttons in the volume rocker simultaneously.
3. Hold all three buttons down until your phone boots into recovery.
4. If it fails to boot into recovery and continues to normal boot, start over at step 1.
5. If you successfully boot into your recovery, do a full wipe (factory reset), flash Avatar, gapps, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik (under advanced).
6. Reboot.
See if this works! Good luck!

Thanks, i gave that a try but no luck..might it be something mechanical? cuz like it just boots when i put the battery in even if i dont hit any buttons.. :S
Yeah, you have a faulty power button. Common problem, replace it and your problems will be solved.

If you don't want to spend money to replace it, you can simply slam the power button on any hard surface for a maybe 5 seconds and it will be fine. I have to do this every couple of weeks/months. If you have gotten your button fixed already, how did you do it?

Hi!
I have recently purchased a Nexus 5. On the day of the purchase, I received an OTA update for camera issues (it currently says build KOT49H). However, although I belive this install went through, as it changed Android version from 4.4 to 4.4.2, it didn't work as expected during installation. It froze during the Android robot screen, while it was installing. Bottom-line, now that I enter recovery, the first thing I see is a dead Android with a red triangle on it and the message "no command" underneath. If I press any button, the menu appears and I can choose the options. However, sometimes if I press volume up, instead of going up the menu, it closes it and shows the dead android background image only. I press again, and see the menu again, but can't go up, only down.
The phone is stock rom, not rooted, not altered in any way! I have attached several pictures in this respect.
Any clue about this issue?
Thanks!
If you reboot your system from recovery, you are stuck on "no command" screen as well?
Try wiping cache partition and rebooting. if it doesn't help, then do a factory reset and see if it helps.

No, the phone actually works if I reboot it normally. Only when I enter recovery I see this dead android robot. When I initially saw this dead android after update, I did to a wipe cache from recovery, as well as factory reset both from phone, as well as from recovery. Still the dead android in recovery remains, as wallpaper image...

That's the stock recovery and this is the way it should be. It's perfectly normal.

Thanks, I guess you're right! It's deceiving, however, that Google chose this image as default for recovery! I thought something went wrong...
However, I have reasons to believe that something is not right! When I enter recovery, I see the dead android, which is perfectly normal. In order to see the options (reboot, wipe cache, factory reset etc), I have to press volume up. If I press volume down, I go down the menu. If I press volume up, I should go up the menu. However, this leads to disappearing of the menu and back to the dead android background. If I press vol up, I see the menu again, with the cursor on the last position... I can't go up the menu. Is this normal behavior?
For instance, I had to select "wipe cache" and only after this process ended, by pressing vol up I was able to move through the options and choose reboot. Vol up in this case wasn't making the menu to disappear.
Thanks!
