on a xoom i cannot see the screen on...
Dropped my xoom today, and the screen is unusable..however it still powers on and functions.
Was wondering if some1 could take the time to give me a "blind mans" step by step tutorial on doing a nandroid backup with clockworkmod.
Id like to do a back up...boot it up and pull the nandroid file from it via usb and restore it on my replacement tab.
What i need is after you boot into recovery, how many vol presses it takes to get to the nandroid and what combination of presses needed to successfully begin a nandroid.
this would be greatly appreciated.
Which recovery are you using? As this will greatly affect your decision. Team Rogue, the old tiamat, or the newer EOS?

Hey There,
reboot your xoom,
As soon as you hit reboot, you should see a Motorola logo appear. Wait 3 seconds and tap the Volume down button and the words Android Recovery should appear on the screen. When you see that, tap the Volume up button and you’ll boot into recovery.
Now from Recovery, using volume buttons, up and down, you can navigate up and down. The power button is to select your highlighted option.
so, once you are in recovery, use volume down button to go to "backup and restore"
press power button to enter that option.
select again backup, activate by pressing power button.
perform the backup. you will see a progress bar in the recovery bot. once done. reboot your system via recovery. (go back and reboot system now).
boot into xoom, thru file manager you will be able to see a directory under /sdcard called cwm or something like that. inside, you will see your backup compressed files.
download airdroid on the xoom, free app from the market, use it to pull that backup over wifi to your laptop or use direct usb cable to mount your xoom as external disk on the laptop.
Hope that helps.

You are on the old tiamat. Crap. I'm on the EOS one now. If I can find a zip flashable for the old tiamat one I can help you. But currently I do not have a laptop to flash files like recoveries onto the device through fastboot. Let me do some searching. See if I can find a zip for it.
--Sent from GlaDos baked potato
Edit: got the zip. Give me ten minutes to flash it and see what you need.
So once in recovery here is what to do for performing a nandroid:
press the down button 5 times,
press the power button once,
then press the power button again (it is now performing a nandroid), I'd leave it 15mins or so to be safe that it's actually completed considering you can't see.
Then in order to mount it to your PC so you can get the files across:
Press the down button 6 times,
Press the power button once,
Press the down button 8 times,
Press the power button once,
Then on your PC you should be able to see all the files on your SD card.
To power your xoom off:
Press down once,
Press the power button once,
Press up once,
Press the power button once,
Press up twice,
Press the power button once,
Your Xoom has now powered off

Hi,
I have been searching for this through the forum and havent found it, seems like a very basic question.
I just rooted my TF, I am just trying to learn about all the things I have been reading about. I rooted it with BRK's batch script here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185104
so I should have ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1-solarnz-R3 installed.
My question is, how do I boot into it (normal recovery or CWM recovery)? or even know if it is installed? I tried using quickboot and I choose recovery but it seems it just booted back normaly.
thank you for any help.

Turn it off, then turn it on by holding the power and volume down button for a few seconds. Some text should appear on the top left that says, press volume up within 5 seconds to recovery. press volume up, and you're there.

Another way that is easier on those poor keys is to use one of those :
"reboot to recovery" type apps that are , I think , downloadable in the forums. I'll post it here if I find the link. I felt like those buttons were pretty fragile so started using that instead.
EDIT: http://goo.gl/RbyLo is a spot you should be able to load 'reboot to recovery' from. (credits to gnufabio)

I agree 100% about those buttons, I think about that every time I turn it on and off. that is why I downloaded the quickboot program from market but it doesn't seem to work.
thanks for the link!!!

Hello all! I was able to get CWR 4 installed on my Augen Gentouch tablet. I booted into it, but then realized I can't move up and down since I have no volume buttons on the device.
None of the buttons do anything, except the power button, which selects the first option (Which is "Shut down" or "Reboot" or the likes)
Any ideas? Is there a magic way to remap keys for this?
I can't even get the stock recovery program back on because CWR 4 has me stuck
Thanks for any help
Same issue!
Got a 8 tablet with samsung S5PV210 ARM A8 Cortex
Three buttons on the front, no volume buttons, so pressing the down volume button and power to get into recovery is not poss? Rom Manager just boots to stock rom even if i press " install rom from SD"
Anyone?
We cant be the only ones who got one of these lol
Cheers

I am using a version of Clockwork Recovery on my Photon that takes over if you have the charge plugged in when you turn it on.

would love to know the answer to this myself.
Solved!
But now i need a good rom?
2. Update your Tablet, using the recovery console
1.- shut down the Tablet
2.- Press the "HOME" Button, and then press the "Power" button TOGETHER about 2-3 seconds.
3.- The android system will start, and stop at a page with a small android robot, press the "power" Button about 2 seconds, and then press the "HOME" together.
4.- The screen will show the below 4 choices:
1) Reboot system panel now
2) apply update from /sdcard
3) wipe data/factory reset
4) wipe cache partition
Select option 2 by holding down the "Power" button, once complete reboot!

Yeah, that's coming. It has buttons on the screen for navigating the menus. I'm not sure if it's gonna be device-specific though, or if it will be generic enough to include regardless of your device.
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.

power button doesn't work either? I thought that functioned as the 'enter' button... Imnuts' post will work for sure, but I have to ask why are you in the stock android recovery? unless you meant CWM?
Thanks imnuts, what is the easiest way to adb reboot?
My screen is showing similar to the attached photo but the trackball statement it instead says: [Enter: Home Key, Select : Vol UP / Vol Down
Its asking me to use the home key for my enter but my home key is not functioning. But if you know of an alternative I am happy to hear what your thoughts are.

ADB (Android Debug Bridge, I think) is tethering your phone to your pc and pushing/pulling files or forcing commands to your phone using the command terminal... it doesn't work right away as you need the latest android sdk files, java/jdk files, and altered C:/ path directory (assuming you're running windows, I think thats how it works if anyone can help me out here )
does the power button work as a 'select' button though? also can't you just battery pull and restart the phone or does it restart right into that recovery? just an FYI that is the stock android recovery which you can't (or rather shouldn't) be doing anything in, CWM is recommended... I vaguely recall there being another button that would work like the search button but I'm not sure
Thanks for the advise anoninja118, I appreciate the help.
So last night I tried ADB but was not successful at it, maybe ill look into that more. Unfortunately my phone does not allow the power button to work as the 'select' button. Yeah and pulling the battery leads me back to the same recovery screen. What is CWM?

CWM is Clockwork Mod, its the custom version of that recovery that will allow you to flash files and change options: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112804
you can flash superuser (what gives you root access) easily in there and just reboot and presto you're rooted... I haven't seen any tutorials on how to use CWM since its fairly easy, to boot into it just hold power+volume up+home until 'Samsung' appears then let go of power and hold the other two until it comes up, then use volume keys and power button to navigate and select
Odin is required to install CWM first though and this thread gives a little info on that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160580

After flashing the CM9 ROM Revolver was released and I want to move over to it. I can't get into recovery using any of the methods I know about, I tried reboot recovery in TE, I tried the button combo, I tried using the reboot recovery in ROM Manager...Starting to get a little pissed off.
Any suggestions to keep me from losing my mind?
What happens with the button combo?
I found that the best button combo is to first hold the down volume only, then press power for 2 seconds and let go, then when you see the text hit the up button.
I used to start with both down and power but the text disappeared too fast.

Same thing happened to me ... where the text disappeared quickly what I did was I would try the button combo again immediately after and it would shut down and allow me to boot into recovery

use your ADB
Code:
adb reboot recovery
That should boot you into recovery.
power off - hold volume and down - hit up then you should be in cmw/recovery
or try installing a new rom with rom manager and see if it works
