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.

My power button is broken too.
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.

Dear sir,
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453617
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
recently my htc often reset but still work normally. yesterday, it went to bootloader and stucked in bootloop. i have tried but it doesnt work. the problem is when it reboot, it shuts down automatically( does not appear anythings ). i had to use power button to make it go to bootloader again.

Are you root? Do you have a custom ROM? Do you have a custom recovery?

hi, i try to boot into recovery, but i get only green android with red triangle, i try via bootloader and via press VOL +/- and POWER button, but in either case I can not access.
I flashed all the latest factory image via fastboot [boot, system, recovery, cache, bootloader, userdata] but the problem persists; the phone works well, i can use it normaly but the recovery is the only part does not working.... some advice? thx
When you see the dead android screen, you're holding down the power button and pressing volume up button?
It looks like you are booting into a stock recovery. Which would happen just after flashing the latest factory image.
What are you trying to achieve?

Device- Xiaomi Redmi 4x(Santoni)
ROM- Havoc OS
Custom Recovery- Red Wolf (Unofficial Version)
I'm having trouble booting into custom recovery. I have already flashed custom recovery, disabled stock recovery replace. Power button+volumed down button boots me into stock recovery. But if booted into recovery from advanced reboot then I can perfectly custom recovery. How can I make my device boot into custom recovery by just pressing power button+volume down button?!
Please help.
Thanks.

It would help if you posted which device you have, we can't give you an accurate or definitive answer if we don't know what device model number you have.
On most devices, typically, it is volume up+power to boot into recovery.
Volume down+power typically boots into bootloader mode, download mode or some other type of flashing mode intended for flashing stock firmware on the device.

Press volume UP+power, when you see the Mi logo, release the power button but continue holding the volume up button, do not release volume up when you release the power button.

If it didn't work, you probably have some kind of issue because the instructions I gave you are correct for your device.

I figured it out. Tried volume up+volume down+power button and booted successfully into custom recovery. Didn't know about this. Thanks for your help, mate.

Strange, that combination is usually used to boot some devices into safe mode.
But, at least you figured it out.

if i successfully installed twrp and xiaomi.eu will twrp remain as my recovery or will it return to miui recovery? im just making sure cause if someone accidentally go to my recovery then they might brick or wipe my phone?
meaning if they press volume up + power button will it be the miui recovery or the twrp recovery?
TWRP will remain
