Hi,
I tried to restore my Nexus S (european, GT-I9023) which has a broken power button before sending it to Samsung for repair.
I just screwed my ROM flash using Clockworkmod and now my phone only shows a beautiful Google screen.
When I try to use fastboot screen (using vol+/vol-) nothing moves, and even if it moved I wouldn't be able select any option as my power button is broken. I can't also access Odin (vol+ and vol- pressed when the phone is off) as I can't turn off my phone.
What can I do to flash my rom? May I send it to Samsung anyway?
Thanks for your answers!

I am also facing the exact same problem. Can someone kindly guide us please?
Switch off. Press Volume Up and plug in the charging cable. Now, see if you tackle with the Fastboot mode.

I solved the problem flashing ClockworkMod Touch from Windows Terminal.

He might not be able to. When the power button breaks, it stays in a "on" state and that messed up fastboot as it doesn't let you scroll or initialize properly.

If your rom starts booting (you see a quick flash after initial Google logo) you might be able to ADB from there (while it's not booting and the rom logo is showing, I know weird but often works). Check it out.
Edit: Oh and if you get adb access, then what you want to do is "reboot recovery" to reboot to recovery, and then wipe/flash a rom and whatnot.

You are absolutely right. The phone thinks that the power button is pressed and doesn't let us move up and down using the volume keys.
Also, even if I get adb access after the Google logo, how do I use fastboot mode? I actually wanted to flash a recovery as my Power button doesn't work even in the recovery. Moreover, I can boot into recovery without adb, from inside the rom power menu.
So adb doesn't help here

What recovery do you currently have? All custom recoveries enable you to scroll with menu and home key, go back with the back key and select with the search key. So if you can get adb while it's "not booting" and reboot to your custom recovery, then you can navigate, mount usb and transfer a rom if needed or flash one that is on your phone.
Edit: Also, I was under the impression you couldn't boot your ROM. If you can, what is it exactly that you are trying to do??

I have ClockworkMod (CWM) 6.0.2.5 Non-Touch from this thread:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032337
I flashed this earlier when my power button was working. And I have tried all the capacitive buttons. None of them work with this recovery. That's why I was looking forward to flashing a touch based recovery.

From the same thread you can simply download any of these (highly suggest ClockworkMod (CWM) 5.8.0.2 Touch, one if not the most reliable) and flash them from within your current CWM.

Please understand. That's what I am trying to tell you. I cannot use power button or any other button to select anything in the recovery. So how will I install this one?

Ok let's get this right
What is your goal? Flash a different recovery? Then you can flash a recovery from within something such as ROM Manager if your rom still boots.
Yes sir, my goal is to flash a touch based recovery just so that I can flash new ROMs and kernels without the help of the power button.
Koushik charges for in-app flashing of CWM Touch which is otherwise free. So that's the main issue here. I guess I'll have to live with it

Ok.
You can use this Flash Image GUI to flash a recovery of your choice from within Android then:

It's free. Make sure to download the right recovery for your device and select recovery image in Flash Image GUI.

You sir, are my hero... Many thanks for this :highfive: :victory:
If you are flashing a touch version of CWM recovery, I highly suggest v6.0.1.0. The later version (up to 6.0.2.5) have a bug that will make you unable to mount the SD card within the recovery. Otherwise TWRP is very interesting, but backups made with CWM are not compatible with TWRP.
Thanks, I'll try TWRP this time
okay so i flashed cwm recovery 6.0.1.3 to my asus transformer infinity and it was put on there fine. i went into cwm and found out that the volume keys wouldn't toggle up or down. so i thought id try to factory reset the device and maybe that will uninstall cwm and i would be able to fastboot a newer version. so i clicked on wipe when in the mode before going into cwm with the 4 options (i think its 4 cant really remember) from left to right. once i clicked on this it went into cwm so i clicked reboot device and now when i reboot it shows it asus and in top left device is unlocked then goes back to cwm where i cant toggle anything except reboot. please help i dont know what to do
your help will be greatly appreciated :good: :good:

once you in recovery (see 4 icons), use volume down to switch to USB icon, then use volume up hit it twice, now your device is in fastboot mode. Connect your usb cable (make sure usb debugging and unknow source are checked in settings). From your pc now you can flash using script or manuall push it.

i dont think so i cant toggle down or up in cwm, is there some other way to flash it?
There used to be a flash binary that worked with adb (I.e. via recovery). I've not seen or heard of it for a while, but the fact that recovery can still be flashed from booted Android tells me it's still available. ROM Manager and GooManager both allow you to install recovery, so I would start with decompiling those...
First you need to access you tablet (while it's booted in CWM) via adb shell.
Second, you need to verify that the recovery can access the internal eMMC - "ls /dev/block/mmcblk0*" should list at least 8 partitions.
Then, you can put a flashable zip into and the installation command onto the cache partition - the procedure is exactly the same as the method to manually install incremental dlpkgfile updates.

Hold down the power button, as soon as screen went black, let go and immediately, hold volume down and power button, until it boot up again, see if that get you into recovery.

I rooted with Casual and selected TWRP for Custom Recovery. Everything seems to be working fine, but I have been unable to start TWRP. With phone off, I hold volume down + Power. The phone will vibrate every few seconds until I release the power button. Then it starts in normal Android mode. Am I trying to start this in the wrong way or is there something messed up with TWRP on my phone?

Until you flash a rom that has a custom menu to boot to recovery you have to hold volume up plus the home key while hitting the power button. Let the power button go but keep holding the volume up and home key then TWRP should start up.
Edit: You can also download Quick Boot by Sirius app from the play store and see if that gets you to your recovery until you get a rom on that let's you boot straight to recovery.

Thanks, but I already tried redoing TWRP with Goo Manager. Program ran fine & finished, but when I rebooted into recovery I got the dead Android Robot again. Don't know how to proceed at this point. May try re-running Casual. Still reading everything I can find on this situation before doing anything.
From a powered off state, hold volume UP, home, and power. Let go of the power button when the phone vibrates.

Done that multiple times, same result - Android on back. Tried redoing TWRP with Goo manager, also Checked on lock/unlock with Ez Unlock - got "status unknown". Did not risk pressing either 'Lock' or 'Unlock' and exited app. Not sure what to do next.
Phone is working. Can make calls, messages, use & install apps and change settings. SuperSU is working, TB Pro is working. I did TB Backups & uninstalled multiple locked apps (Bloatware) before discovering that I cannot get into a working TWRP Recovery.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It should. There's download mode and there's recovery mode. You are having issues flashing a recovery. I don't see anything in your prior posts about difficulty accessing anything else.

Your link above for the "TWRP Tar" goes to a page that instructs to go into odin mode on the 'device' by pressing Vol down, home and power. When I do that I get the Android Robot standing and a message that says "Downloading Custom, do not turn off device". At this point no buttons work and I have no choices do do anything and have to do a battery pull to get out. If I go in any other way I get the Robot on its back.
EDIT: You link was only for the purpose of getting the tar file, not a suggestion to use Odin Mobile. I think that all of the time I spent reading about this issue is affecting my brain.

Yes, you use Odin from a computer and boot your phone into download mode then connect it via usb to flash files. Based on your post, you haven't used Odin before have you?
Edit: If it makes it easier, this thread has a [HOW TO] for Odin and the process of flashing tar files as well.

Ahh, I see that now. Also, per your earlier statement about EZ Unlock. If you have v1.2, just tapping unlock does not harm the phone in any capacity. In fact, fact I encourage you to do so just before using Odin (from a computer) to flash TWRP or CWM. EZ Unlock v1.2 only unlocks the bootloader.

Did your suggestion and Ran Ez Unlock again and pressed 'Unlock', Status now says UNlocked. Now that it does I'm going to give Goo Manager 1 more shot at fixing TWRP before I run Odin with the TWRP Tar you linked to.

Ran Goo Manager, but no success. Put phone in download mode and used Odin to flash recovery with openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-d2vzw.tar. Odin ran through to end and showed "Pass" and rebooted. Used Vol UP, Home & Power keys to enter TWRP got the Robot on his back with a Red Exclamation mark with this message below:
# Manual Mode #
"...Applying Multi ...CSC
Applying the CSC Code: VZW

I have 6 choices on this screen.
1 Reboot System Now (I pressed power and phone booted normally)
2 Apply Update from ADB
3.Apply Updated from External Storage
4 Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5 Wipe Cache Partition
6 Apply update from Cache
So I still can't get into TWRP and the only difference is now the Red Exclamation Point.
Did you uncheck "auto reboot" and pull the battery and boot into TWRP like I said before?
Here's a third method if the above does not work. Download EZ Recovery from the Play Store. Once you've done so, you can use my prior link from Rootzwiki and download a TWRP img (image) and use EZ Recovery to install that img file. For this method, make sure to use TWRP.img. Do not use the "tar" file, for this method, tar files are for Odin only.

Got my new Oneplus One and rooted it. (CM Version 11.0 xnph25r?). But, when I press Vol Down + Power, it just bootloops into a never ending TWRP logo screen. When I press Vol Up + Power I get a picture of a small Penguin! If I press the Power button by itself it boots normally. So basically my phone works, but I seem unable to boot into recovery mode (which scares the heck out of me). Can anyone venture a guess as to what is going on?

Use fastboot flash another recovery, or redownload another TWRP recovery. Personally I use PhilZ Touch.
I also flashed philz recovery and it is working great, if you can't manually install recovery there are plenty of oneplus toolkits on these forums that just need fastboot.

Maybe you can talk with a Oneplus Rep and tell them you received a phone that would never boot up? I just read on a XDA forum that if you hold you power button for 30 seconds 5 times it will reset a certain chip. It actually worked for a couple people. I would give it a try if I was you.

The penguin IS the fastboot. So this is what u do (having properly installed ADB and have android SDK):
First in android SDK folder go to platform tools where fastboot.exe is located. Download the proper TWRP recovery and name it "recovery.img" and place it in this folder. Also In here hold shift and right click on a clear area, from the menu choose "open CMD here". Now turn off ur phone and after hold power+volm UP to boot into fastboot mode. Connect phone to PC and in CMD type "oem unlock" then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". This should flash the twrp recovery. Now turn off phone and hold volume DOWN +power to boot into twrp. U can flash w.e ROM u want in this recovery now.

as already explained in the other thread, u cant enter twrp that way. if u press power up in the start screen ull always end up in the erecovery, no matter which regular recovery u have flashed.
easiest way to enter regular recovery is to install flashify from the playstore and choose to reboot phone into recovery

When the phone is off, hold on the volume + & power button at the same time. When the screen flashes on, quickly remove your fingers from the said key presses and it should boot into twrp. If you hold them too long it will boot into erecovery. If you want to reboot into twrp recovery when the phone is already on, then you will have to get an app like quick reboot or flash a Rom which has that option.

This.
Power plus volume down does nothing, TWRP-wise. However that is whta's being said to press in 99% of the threads/tutorials.
Took me HOURS and countless re-flashing of TWRP to figure this out myself. (the up *plus* down thingy). Really annoying.

I cant use TWRP manager for this as it will not work until I have rooted my phone. SuperSu through playstore does not work. How will I proceed with rooting and installing TWRP. I am stuck !!
Is there any application like ODIN for huawei? That always worked, no matter what went wrong. Please help!!!!!!
I guess I am using the international version

Well, I have a question. What is the eRecovery, because I've seen this screen also and I dont know what it does. Also, there are three options in it: download latest version and recovery, reboot and shutdown. So if I press download latest version and recovery what will happen? Because I'm actually looking for a way to get off TWRP without having to lose any data (I want to install the latest OTA, but I've seen that TWRP doesn't support well those, and I don't want to mess up my phone)...
Please help!
easy: download a stock rom identical to your current version, extract recovery partition using the huawei app extractor from the rom's update.app file and then flash that through fastboot
and since u probably have no idea what im talking about, i suggest u use google and xda search functions before asking any further questions here dont be lazy and expect everyone to work for you and serve everything on a silver platter, do your due diligence!

Hi, simply press Volume up an down at same time when device is powering up...and hold it, until Twrp logo is on the screen. Works always for me.

Guys, volume-up+power goes to recovery
Volume-down+power goes to fastboot or bootloader

And just for the complete list:
Volume up + power AND USB plugged in goes into eRecovery (or TWRP, if you flashed TWRP to RECOVERY2 instead to RECOVERY)
Volume up and down + power and USB plugged in forces update via USB (indicated by a little USB-like icon in the recovery circle. The progess bar goes to 5% and waits for input from your PC)
True, when usb is attached

When the phone is off, hold on the volume + & power button at the same time. When the screen flashes on, quickly remove your fingers from the said key presses and it should boot into twrp. If you hold them too long it will boot into erecovery. If you want to reboot into twrp recovery when the phone is already on, then you will have to get an app like quick reboot or flash a Rom which has that option.

I can attest to this, i flashed twrp many times thinking it was not working beacause i am used to the mate 7 holding volume up + power long enough boots into recovery (twrp) but this won't work on mate 8
