I apologize in advance if this has been covered in a previous thread. I am currently having issue with touchscreen not working while on recovery mode. Whenever i try to use either TWRP or CWM touch version the touchscreen doesn't respond and the only way to navigate is using the physical buttons. This issue doesn't happen in normal operation as screen works perfectly. Any help would be appreciated.
Use volume keys for up and down and power button to enter.
They never do, unless the recovery is a touch based recovery. Use volume buttons to navigate. Home or power button to enter.
I am currently using the volume and power buttons to navigate in recovery mode. Issue is related when i try to use a complete touch based recovery for example TWRP and i cannot click on the on-screen options to navigate the menu.
Weird. What twrp version are you running? Latest would be 2.7.1.1, AFAIK.
Yes..... I grabbed the latest version from the website. Only reason I'm asking about this issue is because I wanted to use Multirom but since TWRP is the only recovery which supports it I cannot run it. But as I said it is weird since I have no problem with touchscreen on daily use.
Yes its weird. Its not hardware related, yet if you're using official, it can't be software related either.

Ok, so maybe this is a stupid question, maybe it isn't. Can someone please explain the key differences or strong points between the two methods of activating Clockwork Mod?
Will one method allow it to work properly and more reliably than the other?
And in the case that this IS an obscenely dumb question, I give you my apologies. ;D

the clockworkmod you install via rom manager can only be accesssed thru rom manager. the hardware key combos will bring you to stock recovery. aka fakeflash. the nvflash kind is bootable thru hardware key combos.
Yeah I found that out the hard way lol
Thank you for your input.
Anything else?

That is more or less it. The main advantage, and it is a big advantage to flashing via the NVFLASH method is that if something does go horribly wrong and you are unable to boot up your phone, you can still get to recovery using the hardware key combo. If you do not have this option you may be left with a brick.
even if you couldn't get it to boot fully, would you still be able to go in via adb and hit 'reboot recovery'?
When I'm in recovery and have what I want highlighted, how do I select it and make it do what I want? I'm coming from an Inc. and I would just press the track pad to make the selection.
I know this is noobish also, that's why I put it in this guys thread.
Wow I didn't know the Rom Manager version wouldn't boot via hardware keys. Since the hard way came out first, I figured it worked the same.
Weird thing is that I flashed the hard way, and it won't "Reboot to Recovery" from Rom Manager, I just get normal boot. I HAVE to use the hardware keys.
@Above = Power button selects, Volume Keys scroll.
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.
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.

I recently flashed a Paranoid ROM (nightly build v1.991, Aug 21) downloaded using GooManager.
All worked fine initially, until recently the power button stopped responding/working.
I tried rebooting the phone by taking the battery out (I did not have to press power button, since it auto-starts), but it did not help.
I could enter the fastboot mode while rebooting by pressing Power button + Volume up button.
However in fastboot mode, the volume rockers (which work everywhere else, eg: recovery) along with power button, were not responding , also "fastboot devices" command did not recognize any device.
Now, to re-flash the Paranoid ROM or a stable ROM, I needed the power button in CW Recovery.
So I was left with a single option of flashing the Touch-CW recovery without fastboot mode.
I managed to do that using Terminal app (the one that opens the shell from the underlying kernel) from the ROM itself.
Now I could flash ROM using the Touch-CW recovery.
I tried re-flashing the Paranoid ROM, flashing a stable CM ROM but none helped.
Latter, I tried various drivers (PDAnet, Samsung, raw adb drivers from Android SDK) and toolkits to get the fastboot mode working but to no avail.
Note: The "adb" commands work correctly when the Nexus S is connected in USB debugging mode.
But no matter what the fastboot mode and the power button do not work!
Please help!
Details of device:
Nexus S, I9023, (SLCD version).
Kernel: 3.0.38-CyanogenMod
Jelly Bean v4.1.1,
Paranoid Android v1.991.
Update 1:
Recently I have updated to paranoid 2.0 (September 7) build. The problem still persists.
Update 2:
Nexus S has been bricked, I suppose!
It now does not start and gives no response to pressing of any combination of the keys(hard and soft).

That's normal, because your power button is broken, that has nothing to do with the ROM. If you take a moment and search the web you'll see it's a very common problem for Nexus S.
Send your phone for repair if it's under warranty or if you're ready to afford the repair from Samsung. Otherwise you can fix it yourself if you have experience with small electronics, although I would advise against it.
Thanks for the quick reply. However, I'm able to start the phone in fast boot mode by holding down the power and volume buttons.
Also, any thoughts about the buttons not working in fastboot mode?

Again, known problem. With a quick search you're able to find answers to these questions.
Whenever the power button breaks, often enough it will stay stuck as pressed in thus activated. Fastboot can only react to one button press at a time thus will act as if the power button was being held. The volume rocker will not be able to work as long as the power button is "held". And since it's broke, it's continually held, so you can't scroll.
You can technically and in practice live with the power button not working. Many people manage to do so.
-From within Android, you can reboot to recovery using either an app or an embedded menu in many custom roms. Using a touch recovery such as CWM 6.0.1.0 or 5.8.0.2 you can use it without any problem.
-To wake up your phone from sleep you can use volume rocker wake embedded in some custom roms.
-To put it to sleep you can use shortcut apps/widgets, a notification bar shortcut, let the timeout do it's work or use a proximity/light sensor app.
Thank you once more.
I am already doing well without the power button, by using volume rocket to switch on the display and touch CW recovery.
To clarify that power button is functional, I tried to enter fast boot mode by only holding down the volume up key, but couldn't enter it as power button was not pressed.
Also the volume rockers work properly in recovery, hence if the power button was continuously being pressed , they would malfunction.

Does it work properly EVERY time (and I mean that) while in Android?
Fastboot and recovery are different beasts though. I've not heard of problems in recovery when the power button was stuck, unlike fastboot.
It's possible your power button hasn't failed you completely yet. They tend to be flaky at first then one day just out right stop working. Sims22 on these boards has one that works if he smacks his phone a bit, to give you an example.
yeah they work every time as I described.
Actually I'm trying to put back stock ROM in it , with stock kernel and everything else stock.

I'm also having this issue. I'm able to get into boot loader. But volume cursor doesn't seem to work. It how ever works fine however in another other time.
I want to Odin. Since I restores everything completely to stock. How ever I cannot get into download mode at all. Tried adb. Different apps. And hold volume up/down while plugging USB

I also tried ODIN and Nexus Root Toolkit. But was locked in fast boot mode. Then I pulled off the battery to reboot, and that was the last time the Nexus worked.
I recently opened up the nexus to verify that the power button is functional, it is working correctly.
I guess time for the Samsung service center guys to work on it.

Hey everyone
My tf101's power button has completely stopped working which is causing me a few problems such as no apx mode, cant access power menu and cant navigate recovery menus etc. I realise apx mode is a lost cause so my main issue is navigating the recovery menu to be able to flash roms etc is their any recovery that can navigate by the keyboard or even an onscreen keyboard? im stuck with cwm 6 atm. My last question is is there any app that can activate the power menu?
Many thanks as always.
I have to press my power button down with the hard part of my thumb to get it to work. Asus really put a cheap power button on this device.

install goo manager from the app store, from there install TWRP. Reboot to recovery, and TWRP should be the new recovery replacing CWM. TWRP uses a touch screen interface.
Clean out the gunk around the power button, that often times fixes the issues with stuck / failed power buttons. DON'T MASH IT SO HARD!

Good idea. Also, if you're warrenty's still good, flash sock Asus firmware and send it back to them.
Firmware Download: http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download
Good luck.
