Clock work recovery buttons

So know in Recovery mode the menu button is used for the back button.
I used it before with my fascinate.
except today was the first time i wanted to go from AlteredBeast to just
stock deodexed ROM
so i went into recovery to disable lagfix but the menu button would not let me go back.
is this not supported yet on the charge or am i missing something.
i did get the ROM to run but there was no browser so i couldn't surf the web and the market wasn't letting me download a anything.
so i am currently flashing back to Altered beast as it is the only thing to work for me so far.
The only problem i had with altered beast was i kept losing signal, i would lose 3g then get 1x and sometimes nothing.
I wasn't sure if it's something the charge is dealing with or the ROM
thanks guys.

Which CWM are you using? The one from JT or the one I posted? The buttons don't work in the one JT posted, and it was a PITA to get them to work in the one I posted as the build didn't want to pull in the button mappings properly.

I am using whatever came with alteredbeast. I just went and find your "mostly working"cwm thread.
I suppose I flash that over alteredbeast and ill have a mostly working cwm? Cool thanks for the work.

The CWM that comes with Altered Beast is jt1134's along with his Voodoo Lagfix Kernel, his is red while imnuts version is yellow. I find that imnuts version does most of what I need but I know we cannot backup/restore along with no factory resest yet but its a work in progress and I know he is working on it.
I also know that Koush is working on updating his there was a bug in his CWM that ROM manager d/l's for the Charge.

ICS LY-F1 nandroid with gapps

Ok.. The manufacturer finally release ICS for this tablet, it initially does not have gapps..... you need to install CWM and reboot into recovery through ADB... like i said you need to have CWM already installed!!!!! this works on ALL my tablets i just checked it out... it has market, gmail, and superuser. once it is installed you can access recovery by holding down volume:up and power until recovery shows up... ( before It could not be done)
here is the link and instructions for CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378594
here is my nandroid:
http://www.2shared.com/file/HInNxhH1/2012-02-13143731.html
(i had to strip out google talk, it kept on giving me problems..)
on a side note you need a external card to access the nandroid, put it in /clockworkmod/backup/
i haven't tested anything else, ie can not load youtube app and not sure about video playback... netflix only plays sound not video...
if this helped you hit the like button.. i am poor and i only do this when i have time and out of love for this great device and OS.... i am not responsible if your wife leaves you or a natural disaster happens in your area or you brick that sucker.... flash at your own risk...
thanks goes out to everyone that made this possible... maybe i will see if i can port CM9 but don't hold me to that..

Good job, I was actually going to post this today as well until I searched to make sure no one else had already done it. CWM works great with this now that the capacitive buttons work, now to do some modding so we can get cm9 running on it. I still can't get netflix apk to stream, the sound works but no video.

ya i know! that sucks... i need to try to get a youtube app and push it to see if it works.. but i really love it... i wonder if i can try the momo9 cm9 and see what works and go from there.. but school and work keeps me busy as hell!!!

Google Talk works for me with "newtech25_for_ics4.0.3"- script

Google Talk does not work with anything I tried. Tried a lot of patches and versions. Any ideas ?

Try to reflash manufacture rom then newtech25_for_ics4.0.3 script.
i used this one http://www.sappasit.go.th/android/newtech25_for_ics4.0.3.zip
but if figured out there is bug in calendar sync with newtheck script. talk works also with video no problems at all

The gapps package I installed from clockwork mod had youtube in it and it works fine so I have no idea why netflix wouldn't work on ics when it was fine on the stock gb firmware.

what was the gapps package you used?

At this point two main issues
Market does not show system apps.
Some apps (google), even if installed from the Market gives a android system stop responding...
Update
Errors were due to Gapps not properly installed...
Small issue though Camera photos are up side down ?! Can anyone test it for me as well? as this may affect skype video calling ie.
Last thing to sort out Full market support and flash...

my camera works fine on mine, and i restored on 3 of the same tablets... i am working on finding a working google apps i guess... but everything works on mine. Weird, but i will lool for another ICS google apps and then do another nandroid. thanks for your feedback..

Use gapps v11 from CM9. Just flash them from CWM.

Thanks for the answer.
I'm on 2.3.4 from 20120107 when i press vol+ and power i only get a triangle with exclamation point inside and an android icon but nothing else.
So i need to flash ics first and then use cwm to flash the nandroid with gapps, right?

Hey I was trying to install CWM into my F1 and I cannot run the given scripts. It says permission denied. Any way to work this around?

It needs root. The easiest way is with Unlock Root.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

As far as I know, the device comes pre rooted. I tried to root it again with superoneclick and it says it is already rooted.

Proud new owner of a rooted G2X, but rusty with the recovery.

First off, thanks for stopping by to assist. Secondly, I just bought a used G2X off ebay and it came already rooted, with super user already installed. However, there's no rom on there and it's still running Froyo 2.2.2.
I haven't messed with rooting, recovery, or ROMs since my G1 so I'm quite rusty, leaving me with a few questions.
1. I know LG just released a Gingerbread update, yet I can't access it or any of the previous updates through the about phone update area. That's because I'm rooted right? I wouldn't mind just having stock 2.3.4 on here for now.
2. I don't know if the previous owner already put a custom recovery on here or not (not very talkative) so is there a way for me to check that? I was reading that if I boot into recovery without a custom one installed, the default recovery automatically starts wiping and reformating and I don't want that.
3. And just a general consensus question, coming from my horrible Samsung vibrant, GB roms are the way to go with this phone right, avoid the ICS?
Thank you in advance for all your help. Appreciations.

To check if you have a custom recovery power off phone and then boot into recovery mode via Power + volume down until you see 2nd LG logo, then release. The recovery type will be on top of the screen and bottom if I remember right. To update through Over The Air, I believe you need to be stock completely.
1. unroot, and most of what you need is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049154
2.That might be the case I'm not sure, I think completely factory resetting the phone is doable by holding power + volume down/up... Not completely sure as that is as far back as I can remember when the phone was 1st released a year ago. the least you can do is try if you plan on flashing a custom rom.
3. Personally I like CM7 based roms... or at the least 2.3.3 roms, that have been customized.
Overall this phone is cake walk compared to flashing the G1 with all the partitions and the gold card and what not...

That's what I was going to do, but then I read this:
To perform a master reset using the hardware keys, follow these steps:
Back up all necessary data. See: Prepare for a master reset and back up data on Android
Turn off the phone.
Press and hold the Power and Volume Down, key.
The phone will turn on and display the LG Logo
Wait 30 seconds and thephone will display the open box and arrow pointing towards the phone.
Release the keys, and the phone will reset back to the start up screen.
And so I'm catious about checking that right now because I don't want it to reset right now, kind of has used to use it right now.
I actually miss root, so I think I will stay rooted and check out one of these nice GB ROMS. Man, I have missed custom ROMS lol Now it's just a matter of deciding which is the best to use. So out of th eloop anymore on this stuff.
And yeah, the G1 was an adventure. Soft bricked it twice before.

Ummmm well either way if you do flash a custom rom, you are gonna need to wipe regardless. PM with any questions after you do some searching. All the links and questions you have should be out there already.

Thank you for posting an intelligent thread. Basically if you don't want to wipe then you need to install cwm through nvflash, then create a backup. After that flash a rooted froyo rom. If you flash gb over froyo you will most likely have issues if you do not wipe properly. You can try it...but more then likely issues will arise.

ICS roms are buggy and are awesome but if you dont want any problems GB shouldn't fail you. The first ROM I used were ICS but after months of not being able to record anything I had to try out GB and so far these roms are perfect. The ICS are still badass but I suggest you mess around with all of them though G2x has awesome devs.

I can confirm that if you hold the volume down and power until the second LG screen comes up you will factory reset the phone. I accidentally did it yesterday when I flashed the stock recovery back on the phone and wanted to check and see if it had worked. I'm a complete noob with flashing etc but like mt3g said all the info is here just look around for it.

You could have recorded videos by downloading an app called video cam illusion. It does the job.

I forgot about my own thread! lol But thanks for all the insight and help. Currently running into a mobile network/data drop issue so taking advantage and flashing a whole bunch of different roms. From MIUI to Kang Banger is like 2 opposite ends of the spectrum, but I love them both!

blaze unbrick won't boot into recovery

Hello,
I'm truly hoping someone can help me. I spent all night installing new roms on my phone. Ok let me back up. This is bout the tenth phone I've rooted. I rooted my blaze about 2 months ago using a one step(I think can't remember.) I never really installed a custom Rom until last night. The first Rom I installed was cm10, which I liked. Only problem was I couldn't mount my sd card because I am no where near a computer. So I decided to install the baked Rom. I was ecstatic to find that everything worked. However, the cm10 Rom seemed to be running at the same time. I found that very weird. So I tried to figure out a way to get the cm10 off my phone. For hours I tried wiping and reformatting different things from recovery. My problem is the last time I rebooted my blaze out wouldn't go past the Samsung screen. I've tried all combos of the volume up down and power key and it never goes past Samsung. I'm assuming I've bricked my. It will show the battery charging screen. 1st it'll show the stock screen then the baked screen for charging. Please help me. I've searched xda for help and can't find anything to help.
Ps. I'm not at a computer now but please list help for when I'm able to get to one. And yes I've only gotten about 3hrs of sleep in the last 20hrs from messing with my phone.

Assuming you'll be at a computer soon. You need to Odin back to stock blaze firmware. Using the blaze uvlh5.(I think that's it.) From samfirmware.com

[Q] Infuse does not boot into recovery when using power menu option

I am currently on beanstalk build 275 (android KK), but when I try to reboot into recovery via the power menu, it doesn't work. I am in no way blaming this on the ROM. Instead I am looking for insight. This problem has existed for me since I installed ICS I believe. If I remember correctly, it was working on gingerbread ROMs just fine. Anyway, what happens is the phone proceeds to reboot, but instead of going to recovery after the samsung screen, it proceeds to the boot animation. I have searched around on xda for solutions for rebooting into recovery via the power menu and it seems that in the ICS days, the only way to fix it on ROMs that had this issue was to flash the SGS kernel if I remember correctly in order to get the right recovery and also regain the ability to get into it via all methods. The only problem is that I know that most newer ROMs use scott's modified kernel if I am not mistaken since there wasn't much development for our phone in terms of kernels after ICS. This means that if I take another ROM's boot.img (which I know contains our recovery), it will not change anything since I am basically installing the same kernel. So my question is would I have to go back to ICS in order to fix the problem there first then proceed to flash JB and KK? Thanks for any help or info you guys can provide :good: I hope I can resolve this soon since I find it convenient not having to power off then doing the three finger salute all the time
P.S.: Already asked in beanstalk Q&A also, but I did not get an answer and also I do not believe this problem is ROM related anyway as I said at the start of my paragraph

sorry misread, wrong answer

did you download the ROM Manager app from Google Play and try to boot from there?
if it's not working then
I think I would:
put the 255 build and 275 build and Gapps of your choice into SDcard1
then wipe everything on the phone + format the 4 options in advance + format SDcard0
flash 255 + Gapps as per instruction
flash 275 + Gapps per instruction
---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 AM ----------
if that's not even working, then I put use the "SGH_I997 Entropy 4_4_2012-One-Click-Heimdall.jar" way
but lets not think of that much trouble - maybe you don't have the right recovery - my version is v6.0.4.7

Go to Developers Options and click on Advanced Reboot.

The advanced reboot menu is already enabled, what I'm saying is that when i click reboot to recovery, it simply passes the splash screen and proceeds to boot
up normally...

I'll try the rom manager part and reflashing the different ROMs when i get time and I'll let you know. I already have 6.0.4.7 by the way.

Ok so I've tried goo manager and also rom manager and neither worked. All that's left is to reflash the ROMs I guess or flash the heimdall package g-noob was talking about although I'm guessing that is a package made for ICS, so I shouldn't flash it with KK. I'll probably just flash back to stock and come back up to really check when the problem occurs as in which android version it starts in. Thanks for your suggestions though I'll report back later this week (probably on the weekend).

I installed it and tried the reboot to recovery option which didn't work either in this app. Thanks for suggestion also

Flashing back has worked so far
I flashed back to GB as I said earlier. So far all ROMs have indeed booted into recovery. I guess on my way up the other times, I hadn't followed instructions in detail since I have not experienced any issues that I used to get so far. Hope it keeps going that way anyway once again thanks to everyone for your help! If I have any problems, I'll let you know (currently on Helly Bean 4.2.2 which I just flashed). The real test will come when I flash JB 4.3 and KK which is where I used to have problems booting from power menu.
EDIT: Ok so basically my problems start occurring on jb 4.3. I noticed that going from 4.2.2 to 4.3, the recovery reports a status 7 error. I already know that means the recovery is "old", but the thing is, it allows you to do an install anyway which I usually do in order for it to convert the file system and install the newer recovery which it does. The only thing though is I guess it doesn't repartition correctly due to that status 7 error. So I guess my question would be how I should proceed to get a 4.3 recovery without flashing a ROM or if there's a way to proceed that I am not aware of? Do you happen to have any links @eZdubzitmk4 or @Judge Joseph Dredd or @g-noob ?

sorry, I can't help you as I encountered error 7 so many times and getting to CWM was just sheer luck on my part
maybe you should try flashing CWM community kernel (I am not sure what it does, but it makes me believe that my infuse is unbreakable

Haha thanks, it's not so bad anyway. At least I can get into recovery through the manual way (3 buttons) and at least the ROMs install like you said. I was just checking if there was a way to avoid the status 7 which is caused by incompatible partition layout (which is why you flash twice by the way;the second time it ignores the layout and just proceeds). I'll give the link a try by the way.
