[Q] URGENT CWM button not working

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

Any idea ?

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.

[Q] Factory Restore - Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

I reallllllllly need your help here guys. I need to factory restore my Samsung Galaxy Tab, as the lock pattern was set to something that I do not know so I have zero access to the device. I have followed so many suggestions that my eyes crossed, well not literally but it sure did feel that way. lol:cyclops:
Here is what I've tried so far:
I have tried plugging in via Samsung Kies - no luck because I cannot unlock the device for the computer to recognize it.
I have tried using "Run" command on the computer and typing in a huge "command" that is supposed to over ride the lock pattern. That doesn't work because I can't get past the first line of the command without an alert starting with "path cannot be found."
I have tried holding the combination of "Vol Up+Power button" and receive the following alert :
"WARNING!! A custom OS can cause critical problems..etc"
I follow the steps that state to proceed and then I get "downloading" with the little Android guy, and then nothing happens. The other advice state I should be provided an option to "wipe" or "restore" but I do not get or see that option. I have tried different combinations but it doesn't help.
Please someone shed some light on this mystery, otherwise I have an overly large paper weight on my hands.
Cheers!

Hey,
If you just want to restore it you can just hold down volume up and power button. That should get you to the recovery where you can select wipe data/factory reset. Make sure you are hitting volume up as it seems that you are pressing volume down because you're going into download more. Hope this helps!

Thanks so much for your help!
So I doubled checked that I was in fact holding down the volume up button while holding the power button. I can confirm that it still does not work.... That is when I receive that alert about "WARNING!! a customer OS system may cause critical error" I tried the volume down button, and nothing at all happens.
Someone said there may be a pinhole reset option? Is this something you are aware of? The only thing I can see that looks like a pinhole could well be the mic.. don't want to destroy anything further lol.

So new twist! I don't have a "home button" lol... or at least not that I'm familiar with. The only physical buttons on the device that I can see are the power button, and the volume buttons.....It's a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1

Oh lol. You're posting in the wrong forum this is the Tab Pro forum so that's why I was assuming you have the home button.
I was reading how to get to recovery mode try doing this:
Power it off
Keep pressing power and vol + button and let go when you see the samsung logo

[Q] **HELP!** Well, I think that I just soft bricked my Tab 10.5

I was attempted to factory reset my tablet because I was almost out of space. I flashed the T800XXU1ANJ6_T800XAR1ANI1_XAR through ODIN and now I can't get past the Samsung screen. Help me!

Use the three button combo to get into recovery, do a data wipe.
If it still doesnt boot then:
Use the three button combo to reboot into download mode.
Reinstall via ODIN.

Easy fix this has worked for a few people in the same position as you, try pressing power +vol down and up together+home and then as soon as screen goes dark/black press power+vol up+home hopefully that will get you into recovery and once there do a factory reset and wipe cach and then reboot. It may take a while to reboot.

That got me up......found the post about it as well.....

You can't do it with stock Samsung. It requires root and the only apps I've seen that can make that mod use Xposed framework (I use the Xanam app), which may mean we'll be SOL if going to Lollipop until the Xposed stuff catches up. I haven't really researched how Xposed for Lollipop is coming along yet.
