The method is working. Don't know if it matters, but I press the home button first and then I press vol down for a short time.
@tarunagg:
I did already knew it, but good to know for others. Thanks.
Is it for you the same that with this method the phone is usable again faster than with the button in the power menu mod?

@tarunagg, please change your post to say "home button" instead of "menu key", and thanks for the tip!

flies don't get corrupted, they get squashed
I haven't found any corruption in my files yet.
Cool... it works!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing. Have tried this a few times and it worked for me. On the stock ROM you can get a screenshot as well by pressing the menu and then the back button. Has anybody tried that?
Yes I know that also

Hold volume up and home buttons and power up to boot to recovery.
I did not discover this, just found it buried in a thread somewhere and thought it should have higher visibility.
Awesome find. Thanks!
Great job

On another note the menu back button is not working for me in cwm. Is anyone else having this problem?

Yes, for some reason CWM is not recognizing the button mappings. It is on my TO-DO list

I hold the volume up and home key and then power till the samsung logo comes on, then release power. About 5 sec later I release volume up and home and it boots to CWR.
Hope this helps

If you scroll through the menu 3x it will enable go back. Once you select an option it will show up on the menu
Thanks OP for this info. Was able to test on a friend's Charge and it worked. Scrolling through the menu 3x also enabled the Go Back option in the menu.

Hello falks..
my HTC one x phone won't respond ..
this happened when I maybe disabled one of the system features by the Carot app ..
Now when I open the phone, I get a BLANK screen .. and I can't access any of the phone features .. and when I press the power button, it just restart and the same thing happen again and again.
I couldn't upgrade the system through my computer, because when I plug it, it says CHARGE only ! and I can't change it.

Can you get into TWRP?
Hold the power button for ~10-15 seconds (lights should start flashing) and hold down volume down.
You can let go of power when you see the HTC screen, but not volume down

What ROM were you on? I suggest reflashing the ROM.
don't forget to flash the boot.img, then the ROM

No yo just press them and you wait about 2mins and then it will reboot automatically. This will make factory reset and if it works well your phone will be like a new one

pressing thanks is easier than saying
Title pretty much sums everything up. Was trying to mod it following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36348097 and unplugged the cable while in CWM like an idiot. Now the device will not shut down, nor will it be recognized by the computer. Battery pull is not possible with this thing either, unless I want to disassemble it while it's running. Pressing the power down button in CWM does nothing, and none of the other options work as well. Do I just have to wait a day for the battery to die, and will I be able to even use the watch then?

No worries at all. Every phone is different. I would google it but I would try holding the power and volume up buttons. IF that doesn't work google motoactv download mode.

Indeed it did. Having a new issue though. Stuck in a bootloop when I tried the first instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28179638 and can't seem to get out. Above command doesn't work.
EDIT: Fixed by waiting for the battery to drain, allowing me to boot into recovery, and used the adb commands to do the mod.
