Pretty much said it all in the headline. Updated to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328340 and since then, my power button won't work inside of CWR. I'm screwed cause I don't like this ROM, yet I can't change my rom no matter what...
yup one of the newer cwm started changing it to use the hardware buttons (home i believe) on the bottom but you can push the volume up button a few times to re enable the power button.

Yap, you have to use the home button with the latest version of cwm. The power button functions as a back button now. -Grand

I am new to the E4GT, just got it. I just rooted using sfhub's method and everything worked fine. Installed lastest CWM.
Now when I went to try and flash a rom I have the hardest time pressing home and getting it to register as enter. I can tap it a million times and it won't do anything. After about 30 min I was finally able to flash caulkin's but I'm afraid to ever go back into the recovery because of this.
Is this normal? is there a fix?
edit: actually, now that I booted up, my home button is still very wonky. hit or miss. Only began doing this when I rooted. should I take it in?

Hey, I am in no way an expert on this, but in CWM I never use the soft keys on the bottom of the phone. I use the volume rockers to navigate up and down and use the power button as "Enter." Hope that helps, if not, I'm sure someone who's more knowledgeable will help you out.

That is odd. Only time the power button goes back (for me at least) is when it's physically on the "BACK" option. Sorry dude, maybe someone else can help you out with this...
I found a video that shows how to enable the power button as an enter button. Got it figured out.

Hello all,
I install CWM following this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601663
But the power button didn't work when I want to select an option.
The vol up/down buttons work fine.
Any idea ?
Hold it

Had somting like that to, but taping power button dit the same as the option to go back. I had to tap volume down and up almost at the same time, then after doing this a few times the tablet put somting on the screen and power button worked as normal again. if you dit the taping of the volume buttons again, after a few times power button worked as go back option again..

Install TWRP recovery.
Nice 1 ZN..
I would run the script for the bootloader unlocker and when the door and lock pop up make sure you use the vol down button to select lock then the vol up button to execute. You need to do this before fastboot times out. Once you are sure the bootloader is unlocked go to the apps and theme section and look for the Acer Recovery thread, follow the link then download the Acer Recovery Beta app. Once installed select clockwork mod revision 1.7 and flash the recovery. Your recovery should work fine after this.
Does anyone know the hard button press to get into TWRP, I used to do vol up/down for cmw but that no longer works, not sure if there is a different way to get into recovery in case of a bad flash. I went on their website with no luck and I know many people use this now.
Thanks Rob
The combo is vol up + home. Reboot phone, hold those two until you see the blue text in the upper left corner, then release. Holding the buttons until recovery is booted is unnecessary.

Thank You
I have a friend that remapped his power button to the home button (his power button had become unresponsive due to heavy use). The thing is, a few days after that, his phone suddenly shut down and wouldn't turn on.
The question is, the usual way to reboot into recovery is volume up + power + home, but in this case there is no power button and the home button is acting as the power button, so essentially we only have two buttons to work with
I know its a long shot, but does anyone have any suggestions? Are there any alternative ways to get into recovery?
Thanks guys
I think you can by using adb reboot recovery. I can't remember the exact command. Google might be able to help more than I can in that regard.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
or you can download quick reboot or goomanager from the playstore and use the reboot recovery option
HI
my device is Xperia LT28h
when I install room (4.4.4) on it
after installing my phone don't power on.
Have you ever tried pressing power button and volume up button together?
Also I wanna remember you that after installing a new ROM the boot takes, at least I think so, hours. Press the two buttons so long til you get a vibration.

I don't mean that u should use the power button. Connect the phone to the pc and press the volume up button. (not the power button) if a blue light appears, then try to open a terminal and wipe your whole mobile phone. then try to flash the original android version.
I am not responsible for more damage. But i think this could work.
Wipe your complete mobile phone by tipping it in the terminal and install jelly bean.
Does your phone boot by pressing the power button and the volume up button?
Have you got locked or unlocked bootloader? If your ROM requires for example unlocked and you work with locked, than your phone is dead (sometimes ł
