A friend of mine rooted/unlocked/installed DlevROM on my Infuse, and pretty much set it all up for me. I wanted to move to the ZEUS ROM so I put the zip on my sd card, booted into recovery, and installed it on my phone. I guess I should have wiped everything beforehand because now my settings seem to be mixed between the DlevROM and ZEUS ROM's settings.
My big issue: I wanted to boot back into recovery, wipe everything, and do a clean install of the ZEUS ROM, but now I have one big problem:
When I hold down the button on my phone that normally gave me a bunch of options: Reboot, Recovery, Sleep, etc... I now only have 3 options: Silent Mode, Flight Mode, and Power off.
How do I boot into recovery since the option to do so is gone? Please help, I am freaking out here.
Power off hold volume up and volume down plus power until you see Samsung logo then release...if you flashed build 5 Zeus its just a stock base...you need to flash one of the 2 themes and it will have all the goodies and extended power menu

The other way around also, if you ever get in that situation,
(you need to be rooted)
download "quickboot" from the market.
when you run it, it will give you the EPM options also.
easier than wearing out your power button

Hello, I moved to TB from Fascinate.
I just rooted my TB and tried to change fonts (systems/fonts, DroidSans DroidSansFallback DroidSans-Bold files)
after I changed everything, I turned off the phone and am trying to turn it back on.
After the sound comes on, it froze showing clouds on the screen.
What should I do? Is there any Odin stock files something like that?
I see the posts on development forum with ADB things but the thing is I can turn my phone back on.
Please help!!!
Give it time to turn on. The clouds freeze. It's part of the boot animation. If that doesn't work hold the sound button down and power on and go into recovery and wipe data or flash a different rom thru cwm

I held the sound button down and power on and it straight went to bootloader instead recovery! after that I could turn on my phone but Rom manager doesn't work property. should I go back to stock and reroot it?

first hold down power and vol down, then once you get into the bootloader, hit vol down till your highlighting recovery, hit power, now your in the recovery. Download a new rom and flash that.
Im havinbg the same problem. i was rooted with S-off and had clockwork installed and i tried to flash a new rom on and after i did that i tried to boot and it stuck on the cloud for 45 mins. afte that i tried again and again to no avail. Finally i went back into clockwork and did a factory wipe, bt it STILL sit on the clouds. Am i screwed?
Try a different rom and do a data & dvlik wipe before you flash...
About to try a different rom now. I also tried to chage my kernel with clockwork. Could that do anything different?
OKay so i got it to load with DAS BAMF. Lightning rom didnt work sadly =( im hoping this reboots good lol
I was Removing Tmobiles built in Apps when I acidently deleted the telephony apk. I rebooted to see if the the devide would restore the file then it began to boot loop. i pulled the battery like three times then i tried to power on using both volume buttons and power and the device never turned back on. Is there a way to fix it? Please anyone who knows something can you help?
Try resetting your device. Turn it off then turn it on and keep the volume down button pressed.
The phone wont turn on now
Take out battery, hold both volume buttons down and plug usb cable in

About 47 minutes, until your screen rapidly starts changing colors.
first off wrong section.
not sure if it works with this works with this phone but you can try oden.
you will have to find a oden flashable rom and boot your phone into download mode.
or you could put your phone in a microwave for 10 secs and take it back to the store and tell them it wont work. they will replace it as long as the water meters arent red.
Look at the post for one click installing clockwork mod and do that. Then find the post with the stock nandroid (or eagleblood) download it either put the files on sd via a reader or boot to recovery and use adb push to get the files on the sd card.
Then wipe the data and cache and apply the new rom. That should work. Don't use Odin as that's only for Samsung phones.

Do you have clockwork recovery installed via nvflash? If not, you need to do that, then download the stock rooted backed that is posted in the development thread...Once you do that, download SuperOneClick and unroot your phone, you should not be messing with this stuff if you don't know what your're doing...After that, check out the stickies in the G2x forums and read the rules about what should and should not be posted in the each of the forums.
sorry about the miss posting never posted before and thanks for the help.
still no success i cant get the phone to stay in recovery to flash nvflash im pressing power and down volume but the phone reboots and begins to boot loop again
You don't go into recovery to flash nvflash. You hold down the volume buttons while plugging it into usb with the battery removed. Search for the thread on one click nvflash.

I have been running on the gb 2.3.3 rom (rooted) that I have flashed using odin back in summer and now decided to do some more upgrading . So I found a new rom that was very intriguing to me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305145 After doing some research I realized I needed to do a different type of flashing (cwm?), and not through odin. So I downloaded root explorer into my phone and followed the procedures in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122508 but every time I try to put my phone in the recovery mode (holding volume up + down + power) it wouldn't go into the blue screen. Instead, it would just restart, and restart, etc.. Any suggestions? Do I need to do something with the kernels?
p.s.hahah after messing around and looking through forums all day, I got a little impatient and flashed gb 2.3.6 using odin in the mean time

Try this.
Basically do what youre doing but instead of keeping on holding to it, hold on to Volup+voldown+power for 2 reboots, then on the 3rd reboot, the gs4g screen in the beginning lights up a slight lighter than usual. Let go of the power button, See if this works.

Download the Odin KJ1 version.
Just making a quick check. You ARE using a galaxy s 4g right? if so, then from that link, download the kg4.tar from the odin section. Then flash via odin. .

Hi I have the same problem but I still cant get into recovery, I go straight into Download mode. Please Help
It might be because your phone is connected to the computer? If so, try disconnecting it

This thread says the original GB rom changed the key mapping. Any ideas on where I can find a fix. I think thats what happened to me.
hmm I'm still relativley new to this kind of stuff as well, so the only route I know that you can do that will most likley fix the problem is to odin to a newer rom, perhaps the one I have linked above, then odin the kernal as well to get it rooted and follow the guide on how to do it if you're confused. Then turn off your phone, hold (volume up + volume down + power), screen should boot up then dissapear, boot up again, then disappear, and on the third boot up, just release the power button but continue holding on to the volume up + volume down buttons and just wait. The cwm screen should come up from what I experienced on two different sgs4g's. Hope that helps somewhat lol. I'm sure there might be a easier way to just fix the key mapping but I'm not to sure on how to do it. gl
I just verified that method works for me as well. I'm lazy, though, and downloaded Quick Boot from the app store as it lets you boot into recovery or download mode. Less fuss.
Hi all

Then i installed "ClockworkMod"
I tried removing the battery, holding the power+volume down for 30 sec
nothing....
any advice will be welcomed.
Thanks

Did you ever get anything on the screen when trying to power on again? How did you install clockworkmod, and what version did you use? Also what is the source link to the clockworkmod that you used?
If you can get back into download mode on your phone, you can find the stock roms/tools/directions at

>>Did you ever get anything on the screen when trying to power on again
Nothing, its Dead like a rock
Will USB Jig help? or 300K resistor?
Thank you!
Sounds like you will have to send it in for repair. I don't think that a jig will help you.
Where did you get CWM from, and what version? Was it for the T499 or for S5570?
The Phone is bricked. I killed mine too flashing the clockwork mod, it did not belong on this phone. I think the phone is not on the list because it is not supported. The only way to fix it is to re install the factory boot loading files thought the service pins in the back of the circuit board using a special tool. I'm looking at mine as I type. Oh well, it happens, I just went ahead and bought an used HD2.

Ok guys i have flashed near every rom this phone has ever had and never ran into a bootloop problem. So i had CH 10.2 on my phone for 2 days with no hiccups. Then today after letting my phone die completely "battery death" i pluged it in and now it keeps bootlooping and i cant get it into recovery if i hold down volume down + power it loops at the galaxy s 4g starting screen. If i let it go of the power button at the correct time it just bootloops. anyone have any ideas?

OMG YES!!! I have no idea what i did but i pressed the combo when i plugged it into my computer and it looped the battery screen twice then went straight into CWM recovery did not go through the splash screen like a normal CWM recovery start but whatever i got to remove the rom and flash the new Slim Rom . Anyone have any idea what could have caused this just so i know what to or what not to do in the future ?

To get to CWM recovery on this ROM, simply download 'Quick Boot' application and use it to get to recovery. It works.
Apex launcher crashes as well. I think issue is ROM related. Also, ROM is very heavy, I couldn't find why.
Edit: ROM is snappier after using CM performance features and letting cache do its work.

I got through the splash screen on 1st try.
You should check if you worked according to ROM instructions.
I usually always format system as well as wipe everything twice before flashing any new ROM.
I was referring to :
1. the lack of recovery button on power menu.
2. The inability to use hardware keys to get to recovery after flashing this ROM.
Heimdall One-click (in download mode) and try again.
You're right - I missed that option in developer features - it's called 'advanced reboot options'.
I'd suggest you get to download mode - one click heimdall and reflash this ROM after dowble wiping dalvik, cache, and format system.
I've flashed numerous ROMS to my phone before but have never ran into a problem like this.
-I went back to stock
-flashed CM7, as recommended from the OP
-downloaded and flashed CM10.2 but it gets stuck around 75%
I've been on this thread, and the rom thread as well as waiting a bit, hoping to find a solution or it figures itself out. Nothing! Is it unsafe to pull my battery when its at 'Installing update' (75%) for an extended period of time?
Also, i am on CWM 5.0.2.8
Thanks
I flashed it from ICS (Ultragen) and had no problem.
You can try that as well.
