Rooted several its OS versions or on cyanogen, doesn't matter, bootloader shows list of commands but when you scroll and attempt to execute list disappears and nothing happens. I can come back to list of commands screen. To reboot I must take out battery. What the ..ck?
Hboot main menu uses power button for selecting and then other menus use the trackball for selecting.
" Tomorrow .... its a brand new Today "
Yes yes. And selection makes screen blank or with clockwork logo only, no selected action performed. Power button pressed again returns back the main screen. I can't wipe, can't install from boot, nothing. SO I decided to come back to factory newest RUU Froyo.
Press the trackball to select, not the power button........
Its not rocket science and if you can't figure that out maybe you shouldn't be messing.

You shouldn't need to keep them pressed. For me I just hold vol- and as soon as I've pressed the power button (and it's obvious it is powering on - normally instant) I let go.
Just as a by-the-by comment, being someone that looks at a lot of posts I see more issues with RCMix ROM than any other especially about recovery or flashing (even taking into account the popularity or it).
As the title already says,
I'm stuck at an endless boot loop of the HTC logo and the volume down + POWER button doesn't get me into recovery again, like the option gone. So I'm stuck and I can't flash the boot-up FIX image since I can't access Clockworkmod recovery as I really only used this to flash images. Any help would be highly appreciated and it's rather urgent to me.
Thank you.
Turn the phone off
Click in trackpad. Hold
Click on volume down. Hold
Click on power. Hold everything until you see tge white hboot.
Press vol down to RECOVERY

Et voila.

For some strange reason that doesn't work either. I will keep on trying your method until someone gives another solution... Well my volume button wasn't always sensitive so I needed to click hard, I will try though. Thank you as for now.

OK, another method:
1. Switch your phone off
2. Keep pressing the Back button
3. Power phone on (Power button) while keeping the Back button pressed
4. Check if "BOOTLOADER" is marked", if not select it by using Volume up/down buttons
5. Press Power button
6. via Volume up/down select "RECOVERY"
7. Press Power again
You are in Recovery and ready to flash / restore / backup etc.
EDIT: if you volume down button is out of function you can "scroll" with the vol. up button as well. If you reached the top of a list, it will jump to the bottom automatically.
Settings> applications> fastboot. Untick.
Power down. Power up+volume down.
Fastboot location might be different though. It is in applications for me.

I had a similar issue, but I wasn't stuck in a bootloop. Couldn't access recovery using vol-down at all, I could access it using ROM Manager, but it loaded the bundled version (3.0.0.5) not the installed one (2.5.1.8). Weirdly enough, selecting 'reboot recovery' in the 'temporary' recovery rebooted me into the installed one
The two posts above fixed it for me though, just unticking 'fastboot' wasn't enough - it just stopped it switching off (it would always reboot immediately!), but holding 'back' while it was rebooting got me into HBOOT.
I did discover that if I pressed and held vol-down while the htc white screen was showing it would start in 'safe-mode' - That was a shock, thought I'd caught Windows
It started right after I installed a new ROM, I don't really understand how that could affect it but I'm going to try a different one now to see if the problem goes away.
PVT1 S-OFF (Alpharev)
CWM 2.5.1.8
HBOOT 0.93
similar problem
Hi, I'm new and also noob, so sorry
I have same or similar problem...
I made update from A2.2 to A2.3.3 official ROM from HTC for HTC Desire and than I found custom ROM with Sense 3.0 - Cool Sensation v7.
I made S-Off and I have HBOOT 6.93.1002 now. Tried to instal custom ROM, everything installed good, but after rebooting system is still in boot-loop and a can not instal boot-fix because I still get error regarding some error about edify...
Some like this:
"amend script(update-script) is no longer supported
amend scripting was depreceated by google and android 1.5
it was neccacery to remove it when upgrading to clockwork mod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery.
please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
installation aborted."
Can someone help me? Thx.
Okay here's the run down. I'm on JB and rooted, and was about to apply the new FreeGee bootloader unlock, when I wanted, out of sheer curiosity, to check to see if I could get into the stock recovery by holding powering off and then holding Vol Down + Power. Ever since I rooted it didn't seem to work anymore, but I didn't have a need to boot into since manually applying the JB update.
Anyway, neither Vol Down+Power of Vol Up+Power worked, the phone just booted normally. So, I decided to use ADB to boot into recovery using "adb reboot recovery". It worked, and the stock recovery loaded up. I can scroll up and down using the volume keys, but for some reason cannot select any option by pressing the power button. If I hold the power button down, the phone will appear to restart, but it boots right back into the stock Android system recovery, where again, I cannot simply select any choice with the power button. ADB doesn't list the device since I'm in recovery, and I only have fastboot installed on my lapton running XP which isn't available at the moment (I'm on OSX 10.6).
I'm thinking pulling the battery may work, but I don't have my torx screw driver handy. Anyone have any ideas? Perhaps where to get fastboot for OSX (it appears to still be missing from Android SDK). Thanks.
EDIT: SOLVED - Turns out in stock recovery, the soft menu button (the one on the bottom right) is used to make the selection, not the power button like in the custom recoveries. Still not sure why the Power+Vol. Down doesn't work to boot into the stock system recovery.
Use the menu button to select now.
what dm said. they wont be lit up but they still work
Yeah, I figured that out almost immediately after posting this (feel dumb now). Thanks though.
Any idea why the key combo Vol. Down + Power no longer works to boot into stock recovery? Seems odd that it worked before when manually updating to JB.
Hello. Can you tell me another solution. I have similar problem. Stuck in recovery mode with faulty power button, and can't get out of there. It's not working with menu button. Is there a way to do it with SD memory card? Thanks.
So I had clockworkmod installed andworking beautifly but now the update for the ouya is messing things up. It goes to update and install then during reboot it boots to clockworkmod and no update is installed. I cant cancel the update and do anything with the ouya because of this. Anyone have any ideas? also The cwm looks funky again http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369317 as seen here from another thread of mine. I was able to get it to look normal with a manual flash of cwm but when it does this update and reboots cwm looks like that.
Thanks in advance
I ran into the same problem with the last 2 updates with clockworkmod, and ended up plugging in an old USB keyboard. When it booted to clockworkmod I could then navigate through a messed up looking screen and pick the correct option to accept the update.
The latest update didn't work like that, though. It came through 12/3 or 12/4? It would reboot and I kept losing video, then would power back up and redownload with the video on and off. To fix that I ended up following these directions and doing a reset. Then it did the update, and )I believe) reloaded the stock recovery. At least it works now, though...
forums.ouya.tv/discussion/1380/recovery-mode
HOW TO RECOVER:
This is a hack, an unintended sequence of events that results in recovery mode; what you need to do is crash the startup using sysrq.
For this you'll need a usb keyboard with the sysrq key, this is usually the printscreen button if your keyboard isn't labeled. As the OUYA starts to boot, hold down the alt-sysrq keys and press i, wait a few seconds and then repeat. This key combination is kill-all-tasks; thanks to whoever left this enabled in the kernel. Each time you kill the tasks the init process will restart them, after about 5 or 6 times init will print a warning on the console that one of the processes marked critical has been restarted too many times -- this then triggers an automatic reboot into recovery mode.
Unfortunately it's not always obvious when the ouya is in recovery mode. You might get screen with the ouya logo and a large red exclamation mark, or the screen might be entirely black; usually I got a black screen. Press the home button on the keyboard to bring up the recovery menu; it's actually a toggle so feel free to press the home button repeatedly until you see the menu since the timing isn't otherwise obvious.

A friend gave me their Sprint LG-LS970 claiming it won't boot. This is a non technical user that hasn't tried to manually update, root, or otherwise modify their phone.
It's booting to the recovery screen ("Android system recovery <3e>"). I have four options reboot, apply update from ADB, wipe data, wipe cache, apply update from cache. I can scroll through the list with the volume buttons, but I can't select any of the options. I've tried pressing in both of the volume buttons at the same time, tried the power button, and also tried the three hardware keys that aren't illuminated at the bottom of the screen.
I tried to connect to my PC, but Windows isn't detecting a device. I've tried two USB cables and an 8 and 7 PC.
I downloaded the LG PC Tools Suite and attempted to do an "Upgrade Recovery" but it, like Windows can't detect the phone.
The only time I hear Windows detect new hardware is when I hold down the power button for while (like 30 seconds). If I keep holding down the power button I hear the Windows hardware sound go off over and over again. Once I let go of the power button and the LG logo comes up, I can't find anything in the device manager related to the phone or unknown.
I don't know what my next step should be. Perhaps I'm just really ignorant and don't understand what "enter button to select" means on the recovery screen.
