hey guys, how are you doing?
i'ld like to ask some questions.
my phone bootloop, it only show cm9 boot screen. i can't access cwm by holding home + volume + power button.
so? how can i fix it?
What do you mean by "can't acczss cwm" is it fastboot?? If not, maybe you're pressing wrong buttons!

You have to press power and volume down, not up

LOL, that was happenning to me recently (sometime yasterday). I thought that was it, the end of my Inspire, and I did VOL UP+POWER , I even trying to hook up to pc and redo the rooting, wouldn't work at on. Then google is my best friend , VOL DOWN+POWER got me back to Recovery mode, I will remember for the rest of my Android phone's life
that takes me into regular recovery not clockworkmod
Do you see an option that says Recovery after you get into hboot?

Also, make sure you don't have a PD98IMG file on the root of your SD card or it will always try to install that and not let you select recovery from the options. ( this happened to me multiple times before I realized what was going on.)
I've got a curly one. I lost super user app so I was doing a restore through EXT4 boot as I have no working volume rocker.
The program got stuck and screen went black.
Upon restart , I get to the HTC screen of death and nothing else.
I cannot hold down volume and power button as volume button is shot.
Is there a way to connect through USB and fire up a recovery screen ?
i've got somewhat of the same issue - due to some water damage, my vol - button does not seem to function anymore. i would like to keep flashing ROMs, but am afraid of getting into a bootloop and not being able to access hboot. is there any way to bypass the vol- power button combo for getting into hboot?
I've got a faulty vol+ button here. No clue why.
ADB reboot recovery
My vol down is starting to go hmm I wonder what the fail rate is ? I smell a design flaw.

Did a lot of reading on ADB recovery ... Installed Android SDK and rebooted into recovery where I was able to do a reinstall off the SD Card.... Happy chap here .... Thanks all
Installing ROM Manager from the market will also allow you to reboot your phone to recovery.

Yes but you have to be up and running to use it.
I use 4 ext boot which allows me to use recovery with out the need for a volume control. Just need power, menu and home . buttons.

4ext is based on cwm. Cwm can use the soft buttons too.

Then??after that???
The rom pre installation dialog will come up and ask you for various options like wipe dalvik cache
And then just click OK
But I can't guarantee you that this will work!!
How did you broke your power button

I know of a method to remap your Power key to one of the volume keys, and one of the volume keys to the Search key. However, this remapping only sticks when the phone is booted into ICS. AFAIK the remapping won't help you once you're in the bootloader and trying to access recovery. It also requires root, which you said you don't have...
If you're still interested in this, PM me, and I'll edit this post with the aforementioned method.

Huh??I dont know....woke up from sleep...I cant use anymore..so sad..nexus s super fast phone
mine just crapped out too! what rom/kernel were you using? I recently installed pixie's and glados. The weird thing is that I can turn on the phone using the power button, but once on the power button does nothing.

to turn off your phone use screen off from market..

seems like my button just died completely. I was using stock for a while and the power button was acting up. Then I rooted and went with pixie, and this solved the power button issue. Then just yesterday it acted up again and today it was really erratic. and now it's pretty much dead. if you google "nexus s power button" you will see many people affected by this in the past few days.
i have the same problem, my power button is broken also cant bring it to the repair centre because i imported my phone. But as long as you already have clockwork recovery working properly, you can do pretty much anything: installing custom roms etc etc, in normal usage i use the app "fix broken power button" and that works flawleslly even on ICS.
and if you havent got clockwork recovery, i think there was a way to install it via adb fastboot, not sure how though....
Any idea how to root without power button??
Anyone willing to help me??
I can help
I too have a broken power button, and for me fastboot does not even work!
I have found a solution a made a script that all you need to do is launch with your PC! (credits to saurik for the exploit)
Hope this will help you
All you need to do, is run the script! Then, plug-in your phone (needs to be on with USD ADB DEBUG ON) and done!
You can download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?qhefhtgs20fdtsd
This will root your phone, and then you can afterwards flash ClockworkMod from the market and then reboot into recovery =)
A work of advice though, make sure to install CyanogenMod7 which has an option to unlock with volume button!
Peace be with you
Alright I'll start off with my phone stats and what I've done and then ask the question. Build Gingerbread, model SGH-T959V , Frimware 2.3.6, kernel 2.6.35.7-antsvx v1.1.3
You will notice that I'am using AntonX kernel which was a cake walk to install thanks to you guys.
Now I've noticed on one of the rom tutorials its says ''Must have pre-installed kernel with clockwork recovery!''
Does AntonX have a clockwork recovery built in? or does this mean that I can now use clockworkmod? everywhere I've readed its says to avoid clockworkmod like the plague.
I've readed about booting into recovery so I know how to do that just wasn't sure about the clockwork thing.
Thanks for your help!
Hi Tunderpimp
Clockworkmod = recovery
AntonX kernel has it.
To get to CWM/recovery - power off your phone, keep pressing both volume buttons (+ & -) while pressing power button. When splash appears, leave the power button but keep holding the volume buttons until you see a text menu.
For further info please read the wiki.

Hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME UP' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 5 seconds and nothing?
