Quick question, might be kinda dumb, but I haven't yet figured out how to reboot my ZL from the power menu. Only thing I can currently do is shut the phone down, and then power it back up again.
I'm not rooted so I don't have ClockworkMod or anything like that that gives me different options in the power button menu..

Yes, as far as i remember the stock rom doesn't have reboot option but you will get the reboot option if you install modded rom.

No stock Android ROM has a reboot function... Only 'Power Off'. Only custom ROMs will give you the extended power menu with the ability to reboot into recovery, etc. You also have the reset button in the rear of the phone next to the microSD slot which is essentially like pulling the battery.

I don't know what to do because my device is currently not booting. The device is stuck at the HTC logo for a very long time (both when booting normaly or going in to revovery). The device finaly is finished booting in like 10 min. , but when it is finnished booting the touch on the screen doesn't work, it keeps a black background and it says no service. In revovery on the otherhand the optical trackball doesn't work anymore, the hardware button does tho because the first option "Reboot system now" does work.
What should I Do???

Have you tried using the volume up / down buttons for moving around the menus and power button for select in recovery?

The volume up/down buttons dont work in recovery
Now its just stuck in a bootloop .
And there is no way of wiping the device, because the trackball isn't working.
hep would be greatly appreciated
The first thing I would try is to remove the SD card and see if your phone boots.
If that doesn't work. Have you tried putting fake flash on your SD and booting into recovery on that to test your trackpad?
Why has it started playing up in the first place? Did you have a bad flash? A wee bit of the history of your device might help to find out what's going on.

the trackball isn't working in the fakeflash. The whole problem didn't happen after a bad flash, but it just went in a bootloop when i tried to put it on this morning. I was running Defrost 1.4
You don't need trackball in the fakeflash. You navigate there using volume up and down. It should work. Try .
How about resetting it by doing the following.
Switch it off, or remove battery > Hold volume down and power button > wait a few seconds > use volume to go to clear storage > power button to select. This doesn't involve going into recovery so your buttons might work there.
Can't you get into the bootloader mode with vol. down + power and wipe it there?
Edit: Few secs too late heh

You need the trackpad to select the option after choosing it with volume up/down.

No, it says clear...... and then it just restarts the bootloop
The fake-flash worked!!!!!!!
I deleted everthing there but now, when I boot up the device it boot up straight into fastboot
You could try now using an ruu to flash. Or try getting into recovery and see if you can use the buttons now.
I'll try a ruu, but the recovery still wont work

The Ruu doesn't boot past the quietly brilliant signiture.
Now the official RUU is doing a bootloop...

Not the greatest most useful first post I've seen.
Im having the same issue. Phone locked up pulled the battery and phone stuck on HTC boot logo. Can get into recovery but no buttons are working so i cant recover. That actually happened before but i could get it sorted by flashing using rom manager as i could boot the rom.... Where can you get fake flash?

version I currently have, maybe not the newest (0.14), but works just fine.
I really need some help, I'm in CWM right now but whenever I press the power button it just turns the screen off, when I hit it again the screen comes back to where it was before.
PS I also don't think I have a ROM, because I just did full wipe, though I selected the new zip I don't think it fully installed because I didn't see it.
What should I do!
EDIT: Didn't want to take the battery out for obvious reasons however that seemed to have done the trick. Booted back into CWM, put the ROM on and it's all working now
If you scroll down through the menu 3 times it will enable/disable the power button to select. So you know for next time.
Sent from my Motorola Startac running Android 3.0 Honeycomb.
Currently running CM7.1rc1. I've got Clockworkmod 3.0.0.8 flashed.
I'm trying to reset my battery stats, but when I reboot into recovery, whether it be directly out of CWM, or by choosing reboot > recovery after holding the power button down, or by holding power + volume down while the phone is off, CWM is unresponsive. The initial menu comes up, but when I select an option and hit the power button to select it, all I get is a black screen with the ROM Manager logo showing. Pressing the power button again will return me to the initial menu, but nothing else happens. I have to remove the battery to reboot the phone.
I have tried flashing older versions of CWM, which don't work, and I've also tried reflashing the lastest CWM. I have "erase recovery" checked in the settings menu. I've tried flashing the alternate recovery, but that fails.
Any thoughts on what I can do?
You need to press the trackball instead of power to make selections.
Man, now I feel like an idiot. Thank you.
yeah, was gonna say you use the trackball to make selections in CWM.
i did the same thing lol

Lmao OMG I feel dumb phones my girls I'm tbolted
My Xperia Play has had a few problems out of the box, mainly that when I switch it on there is no boot animation, just a black screen. This means I can't access Recovery through the normal method of holding down on the volume or the back button etc. I've installed CWM through the CWM Xperia installer so I know it's there. I also ran the Auto-Magic Nandroid through that app, which caused my screen to go black (as it does whenever I choose to reboot through an app). When I looked on my SD card though there is now a Nandroid folder, so it's probable that the device does go into Recovery; I just can't see it.
So my question is this; is there any other way of getting my phone into Recovery so I can install some sweet, delicious custom ROMs? Maybe through ADB or similar? Or is it possible to install a ROM via another method?
Any help at all would be appreciated!!
If it wasn't working right right out of the box, I would have sent it back.
Can't you boot into recovery from the CWM-installer app?

Sadly that wasn't an option, it was the only one they had and I wasn't about to send it back for another type of phone, I've wanted this thing for ages
I've just clicked that option in the app and it's just rebooted the phone normally.

Turn on the phone, and when you see the notification light turn blue, press volume down for the locked bootloader cwm, or the back button for the one in DooMKernel.
Sent from a Galaxy far, far away
I've not yet tried installing DooMKernel, I'm worried that if I can't get into the normal recovery in won't be able to get into that one, then I'll be stuck with a boot looping phone.
Pressing down on volume on the blue led comes on doesn't seem to do much, simply stops the boot process from completing fully. I left the phone for 5 mins and got nothing. Pressing the power button again started the boot process again and it loaded up normally (minus any animations of ciurse)
It seems like stuff is happening, but I just can't see it. I doubt this is a hardware fault as the screen works perfectly all other times, so what the heck could it be!?
The recovery in DooMKernel is already built in, so it's different than using the Xperia CWM installer. By the way, the back button will get you into DooMKernel's recovery.
I'll give it a try and see what happens. Thanks for the advice guys!
Hello,
i can't enter my recovery mode, when i power on the phone i pressed the volume rocker down, but it doesnt work!! can someone tell me whats wrong? i have a custom rom flashed called super jellybeam and when i power up my phone it says FUSION instead of Sony Ericsson.
Please help me
Thanks in advance
Stefan
U can change kernel
Fusion is a custom kernel and should have a recovery. If you can't access it then use a different kernel.
僕のLT18iから送られてきた
but the thing is, i was already in the recovery... are there any other button combinations known which i could try before changing the kernel?= im a bit of a noob and everytime i do sth like flashing and rooting
No, only one button takes you to the recovery.
How did you flash the kernel? Describe with details.
down-volume rocker
restart the phone and still pressing the down-volume rocker
I'm having the same problem. I have previously (6months +) flashed the stock Android 4.0 with the rootable kernel. I recently chose the factory reset option within the settings and it bootloops between Sony and xperia screens however no combination works to go to recovery, fastboot etc. I see that normally the led changes colour but it doesn't flash at all. I cannot force fastboot through adb as the phone bootloops before drivers load. I have tried powering off pressing the down volume, also l separately pressing the up volume, also the menu and finally the back button. I've also tried combinations of each too. Any ideas?

Sorry for the slow reply. Yep, tried that and no difference. I'm sure the led lit up at some point under gingerbread, but there doesn't appear to be any change with ics. That's when I thought you had to press the combination. Here, I've tried spamming all buttons and tried holding all buttons. Nothing seems to work. The phone just doesn't seem to boot enough for the flash tool to recognise it, so no hope though that method either.
Any ideas (to the many geniuses on here) ?
