Is there a way for cwm to boot into external SD card? Coming from HTC amaze it was one of the options.
Also, hard boot into recovery via battery removal it's so painful - holding 3 buttons and inserting the battery at the same time is a challenge. Is there another way?

Rom manager has a reboot recovery option. Yoibcoild use adb reboot recovery. There are lots of other ways.

There's no need to insert the battery at the same time. Do that first. You can even put the battery cover on. Then when you're ready hold power, volume up, and home button at the same time. If you wanted you can even hold home and volume up before pressing power.

What about changing cwm so that when we boot into recovery you can flash from your external SD card?

This works fine under normal boot into recovery, but I just use quick boot app from market for that. The problem is when I flash a different rom for instance and forget to flash the matching kernel. The only way to get back is to remove battery trick, which is not easy.

Adb will still work.
Edit: If your gonna mess around in any way with your Android device, you should really learn adb before hand.

Tried that but no dice - no device was recognized, battery trick was the only way.

I really don't care to bother to make changes the phone in the framework begin to add new power menus and all that. I hussy need a command to make a shortcut to reboot my phone with the traditional shut down on all Android phones today for better results with my problems.

I'm pretty sure all those extra toggle reboot options all reboot the "traditional way"

You could always search the market for a power widget like this one:

Probably much easier than typing in a terminal command.
This is probably the nicest thing that could have been done. Thanx bro

The program if nifty buy i'm looking for a regular restart not the quick one. Meaning I like the restart when I hit power off and I world like it to go into a reboot instead of a shut down.

So you want it to restart when you hit power off, but you want it to reboot instead of shut down? Why? Why don't you just hit restart to uh restart?

Okay. I'd you use the 2.3.6. Roms like bluray or darkside the power menu has a reboot button which does not make a shortcut and closes out all the Android sessions and then reboots. I really like that style of reboot which make the Phone have better performance or sessions with Android. I really like to keep a much detail as possible when I can but I don't get how to describe what in looking for without mentioning others people power menus.

I am trying to figure out what you want. I think you want what is called the "extended power menu" with hot reboot?
No just a regular one with the shut down animation
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Menu is okay but a terminal command is better so I don't have to change the ROM I have, i'm using stock with streamline kernel and v6 tweaks and don't want to change the current power menu unless it won't happen any other way.

I would settle to flash a menu but I really don't want to mess with the ROM. I like the reboot on the power menus but i'm not willing to make changes to my ROM right now since its running so awesome. I just want to get a command like a terminal command for a reboot from the power menus which have the whole entire not a quick but a complete reboot instead of the quick one, that's all.

Today I went into recovery mode to fix permissions because my phone was running funny. I used the cache wipe script and when i tried rebooting my phone it wouldn't turn on. I decided to take the battery out for a few minutes to see if that would help. It finally turned on but it is stuck on the boot animation. I have tried to get straight into recovery after trying to reboot it but it won't let me. Could someone please help me figure out what's wrong and how I can fix it?
Have you tried holding down both vol down + up and power button same time then releasing power button when the phone vibrates?

I've tried that and nothing. I can turn it on now but it gets stuck on the boot animation. I cant get into recovery.
Edit: Finally got it into recovery now I'm going to flash a backup i made yesterday. Thanks for the reply.
Hold the vol up and down with power button at the same time. Let it vibrate once and take finger off power button and once Samsung logo comes on take your fingers off the volume rocker.

Your going to have to reflash your custom ROM from your recovery menu

Hey all I have a question about recovery on my GS2. My question is my phone wont power on due to a black screen and constant vibrating. It happened to me twice now and the first time I was able to fix it. My question is I made a recovery on my phone after I fixed it and I called t-mobile tonight and they are going to send me a replacement phone. My question is I have a backup and I was wondering if I could take that backup and restore to it on my new phone???
It SHOULD work. No guarantee though.

i think you can do a factory reset. it's in settings.
Yes, you can erase all info. Just wipe it all. Factory reset...cache....system...dalvick...etc. Your phone will be squeaky clean :fingers-crossed:
I cant power on the phone or get into recovery.
Holding power button and both up and down volume buttons don't work either? I mean hold all 3 at the same time.

so i had a gnex with a busted usb port. i was using my moms gnex battery in the meantime to send a few important tests before i went off the air, and then i got a HTC One (which is awesome btw) to replace it, but when i got the usb pcb to replace the busted one, i replaced it all and triple checked all connections before putting phone back together.
Basically the problem is this. power button wont do anything. the battery i have i know has a 50% charge on it. I tried the pull battery put in usb put in battery trick and that gets me to the charging logo for about 15 seconds and then the phone turns off.
Do i have a bricked phone?
any ideas?

Just tried that fix. went through the steps but it still wont turn on. im assuming its just a lost cause at this point?
can anyone confirm i should just put the phone in the phone graveyard and move on seeing that the omap flash didnt work? or?
I've been a good root user for a while but something isn't right after i used the Installer to flash CM 11 to my Galaxy S4 T-mo.
While i had stock rom i was able to turn my device completely off and reboot into recovery by pressing and holding in the exact order: Vol Up, Home, then Power. And CWM would pop up.
Now with CyanogenMod installed, i try the same process. It says in blue letters "Recovery Booting..." and then everything on screen disappears. I let go of the buttons and after a few seconds the same screen shows without the "Recovery Booting..." in blue letters and then i see the boot.img for CM and the regular boot works fine.
You should know however that if i hold the power button while I'm in CM and tap "Reboot Recovery" it boots into recovery fine. So basically with any root request it works. But the problem with that is if one day if i get a bootloop i cant flash to recovery and restore a backup.
I also tried flashing TWRP instead of CWM but that did not work, the same problem occured with a different recovery.
If anyone has this problem or better, has a fix please reply
Thanks, Essem G
Hold Vol up + Power at the same time (no home button) when you feel the phone vibrate, let go of power button. When the boot screen comes up you can let go of the Volume button

I know the problem has been solved, but out of curiosity, what gave you the idea of that button combo to enter recovery? I only ask because I've seen other questions involving the home button when trying to enter recovery and none of the guides here haven't mentioned using anything other than power+volume up/down for recovery/download mode respectively.
I saw this on galaxys4root.com and it showed a video of that combo working. The very next thing I did was try it myself and it worked. I never knew why or how it changed

It might have been carried over from the s3. Adding the home button doesn't do anything so in retrospect the s4 doesn't even notice. Power + Vol down will take you to Download mode (just an FYI)
