Hi
Just got into recovery mode.... trying to flash ARHD ROM. Currently have LeeDroid.
Anyway, got into recovery, did a wipe data/factory reset, like I did when I flashed LeeDroid. Once it said, "Data wipe complete.", I must have pressed something and now it says, "Back menu button disabled.".
I can go up and down on the Recovery menu, but when I try to select something using the Power button, all I get is a white box with the little green Android jumping out of it !
can't power off, restart, cant select anything... and I dont think the phone is chargin when in Recovery mode ! Alas !
What to do !!
I should have all my zip ROM files still on SD card !

I faced this kind of problem few days back. Just take of your battery and again enter into ur bootloader and next recovery. Don't know more than this. Hope your issue will be solved

Try holding down the volume down button. I had this last week & holding the vol down button re-enabled it.

Pull your battery then hold the phone side ways & put it back in as soon as its back in, without even putting the side back on, hold the volume down button and power button and you should go into the bootloader. Now put the case back on without losing contact with the battery (bit fiddly) then look.at the screen & you'll see an option for recovery. Chose that using volume keys n power button. Then proceed as normal. Their may be another way but its happened to me after a wipe before n that's what I done

This is not working for me ......
A bit reluctant on taking the battery out just yet ...
Hopefully there is a way to get the Back menu button enabled without doing that !

Just press the volume button down several times, browsing through the menu.. down down down, and it should re-apear..
That worked for me, and other´s
Edit: Don´t hold the vol button down, press it several times
What does YOUR button have to do with development???
That´s true, should be moved to general...

I am a newb here, but what I have gathered so far is that all rooting queries/threads are in Android Development thread.

Nope, the development thread is only for rom´s, radio´s & kernel´s..
Questions like this can you post (and should post) in the general thread, just so you now for the future
Edit: All thread´s here is about rooting & flashing... almost any way
Adb reboot bootloader

i faced this issue more than once the method i used was start at top of menu press up down up down until it shows back button enabled
Hi. Isn't this question already answered & solved on page 1
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
This is my first post on the XDA forum. I registered only 2 try 2 have a reply 2 a problem that in my language (italian) is impossible to find out.
This is the best place for everything concerning android world so I hope to be lucky.
This morning my galaxy nexus, while I was playing @ paradise island, freezed and started to play several times a sound that was like an emergency (almost like the overheat processor beep in the computer cases - never heard that before). After this emergency beep the phone shutted off.
When I turned it on the Google logo appears but it start having gliches and reboot. This infinite times until the battery is removed. Sometimes it arrives to the colorful background but that times also it freeze (without gliches) and reboot.
Tryin 2 find out the problem I had a soft reset (battery off for 10 mins) but nothing.
I tried also an hard reset. The phone anyway after having selected RECOVERY MODE from the apposite menu start the google logo and when reaches the "red alert signal droid" the droid is gliched and the phone freeze and reboot. And start another time infinite reboots.
Someone know what kind of problem the phone have? It enters without problems in odin mode and the (I kind is called) bootload mode but don't start the recovery mode. I'm totally n00b, the phone is in fact stock, and I don't want 2 wait 1 month of assistance time if is a problem that can be resolved also @ home.
Please help me if you can and thanks for gifting me with your time.

Sorry to ask but I don't understand gliched, can you get in Stock Recovery (the "red alert signal droid" as you call it), push volume up and power at the same time and enter the recovery menu? Or not?

no I can't. The droid is gliched so the volume up + power combo doesn't work. The phone reboot some times. Some others times (like the trying I had now) the phone freezes.
Try flash the google stock images through fastboot, there are threads with instructions and links to everything you will need.
You should be able to fix whatever is wrong.

It MAY solve your problems, if they are software related.
If its a hardware problem it won't.

He is better off using fastboot and learning something.
Tool kits are the wrong way to do things, it is better to know what is actually happening when you pick an option in a toolkit.

the problem is that I don't know anything of this stuff. I don't know how to start.
The toolkit guide is huge and I think i should do only 2 or 3 of the all listed operation...
For now i took only the kit, the pdanet for win 64 and the yakju 4.0.4 from the google page. I don't know how 2 put them on and in which order.
.....
Oh, phone of my colleague has the same issue. We don't know what to do cause we can't connect Nexus to computer. When trying to do this Fastboot 2147483647 error occurs. Adb devices gives empty list.
Sounds like a hardware problem to me

Not sure if this is different on other phones but for me to get to recovery its not Volume up + Power. Its Volume up + volume down + power (i.e. hold both volume buttons then hold power button until it vibrates or the google logo shows up)

This gets you to bootloader, not recovery
Sent from my i9250
Ok, so as the thread title says I'm not a nooby at this, been here for 6 years modding every phone, sometimes flashing rom's almost daily on some phones. I also search before posting cause I hate being bashed for not searching, but I have searched, and tried numerous solutions, but am still in need of of guru help.
Situation: T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2, rooted, updated with new updates for LTE, re-rooted, so far so good, then decided to do some mods, multi-window - good to go and then notifications bar, that is where things went wrong, so went into recovery mode, flash recovery image, got the yellow triangle with phone and computer image saying bad firmware, connect with Kies and do recovery, well Kies never could recognize it, so opened up the Samsung Galaxy Note2 Toolkit, flashed recovery, then phone will not go into bootloader or downloader mode, all I have is a black screen with "Samsung Galaxy NoteII" and it does nothing. I can no longer use toolkit cause it says USB de-bugging needs to be enabled. And when I try to use Odin to flash the root66_TMO_T889UVBMB4 i get failed.
It's not like I've never had a bad flash, but I have always been able to recover, but with not being able to get into download mode, I am at a loss, does anyone know if there is a way to enable de-bugging from command prompt via the computer?
I am totally open to suggestions, otherwise I am left with a very expensive door stop.
Try pressing volume down+home then press power should put you in download ( the yellow triangle pc screen will still work)

Sorry for this very noobish question. My concern is, i cannot go to factory reset screen... No matter what i do, how many times i restarted and remove the battery, i cannot pull up the screen. Volume down + power button only makes my phone boot in safe mode... Im preparing to root my phone so im trying every possible way to save my phone if just in case something went wrong, I just want to make sure that it'll work before i begin rooting my device, but its not working... am i missing something?
resethard.com/lg/g3/
My device is LG-D855 EU/Asian 3/32gb version. Not yer rooted.
I just activated the developers option but didn't do anything or touch anything with it.
Uhm, just tried this kitkat thing when you tap 4.4 couple of times..
Used LG suit and ran back up for my device.
sorry i manage to solve my noob concern, didn't heard the "release and re-hold power button" after logo appears. should have watched the video again before posting here. wasted time composing non sense thread. xD

You have to press power and volume down, until you see the LG screen then let go and press volume and power down again.

Hold down the power botton +vol. up for about 20 seconds. When the screen goes black switch holding vol. up to holding in vol. down.
You should boot into fastboot.

If you're not on 4.4.4 firmware you should update to it. It's already a well known fact that running ROMs with out dated firmware WILL result in excessively long bootup times(10mins + ) .

Did it actually start up again or just shut itself off? if so you can still just press Volume Down + Power to get into bootloader.

Once it reboots you won't really be able to get in, well I couldn't when I tried. As soon as the screen goes dark you should immediately have the volume down key pressed, I'm talking about a second at most in between.
If the phone is completely off it's easy enough to just hold volume down and power for a couple of seconds until it goes into bootloader. When you do the hard reset you have to hold the power button and slide down to volume down quickly before it boots up.
You didn't still have fastboot checked in the settings did you?

OH SH*T! I still have mine checked. It doesn't work any more for me (normal boot times), but I haven't been unchecking it when messing with stuff because I'm not realizing/ forgetting that it is on.
I should probably fix that before I get myself into trouble.:good:

I'm just curious, was your phone fully charged when you were flashing the ROM? It sounds like a battery problem, but I could be wrong.
Always make sure you have lots of battery before flashing anything. The way it won't stay on is really weird. You could try the ROM's forum. Maybe you might find an answer there. Sorry.

Where did you download the ROM from? You can probably figure it out by reading your original post.
