Hi
I just put my android backup on the phone and when i was trying to put a new SPL on something happened. No the phone starts and gets immediately stuck at the vodafone splash screen. Even if I remove the battery and put it back in.. it starts automatically and gets stuck again.
Please help!
Remove battery, disconnect from SUB, then insert battery and see if you can enter fastboot with volume down + power

1. unplug usb cable before you put battery back in
2. with phone off press home+power to see if recovery come up- blue or green menu
3. if no then boot in fastboot mode(back+power)
4. plug phone to pc
5.command prompt - navaigate to tools dir- fastboot boot recovery-image file you used when root
6. should say on dos prompt - bott okay and reboot device
shoul;d bring up green/blue menu - depends on what recovery image you used

ok should still get into fastboot menu.............. try vol down+power see if that worrks. hold down till boot splash comes up............. also wen you do home+power combo it takes a few to see recovery splash menu. remember phone has to be off before doing combos
If your G1/HTC dream's home button stops working, here is a fix (kinda). Whenever you turn your phone on it takes you to recovery (Home+Power=Recovery), here is a fix I found after an hour of Googling and ****.
Method number two got me back into my phone, but if it turns off I need to be at a computer using fastboot to turn it on.
It's better than nothing, Rogers is pissing me off. A week after the 1 year warranty and this breaks on me. Anyone know any permanent fixes or is it a hardware issue.

I have the same problem with the home key being stuck after humidity entered my phone. Which boots me straight to recovery mode. I have managed to recover my phone with the following steps:
YOU MUST HAVE ADB AND FASTBOOT INSTALLED IN YOUR PC!!!
1) If your phone has the home button stuck, you can't update or confirm anything with the Cyanogen Recovery! Because you need the Home button to confirm. So you must revert your Recovery back to JF's Recovery to use the recovery properly in this case.
2) I have tried for weeks to make the system bypass the recovery and have succeeded. YOU MUST REBOOT YOUR PHONE FROM RECOVERY TO BOOTLOADER. So use ADB to reboot in to Bootloader mode ( adb shell reboot bootloader ). Now that your in Bootloader mode, use the FASTBOOT commands ( fastboot reboot ) and voila, it bypasses the recovery.Make a script on your Winbows or Linux to make it as easy as one click!
If I have helped, please say Hi to my Android or give me a link to a replacement Daughter board...

I seem to have a similar problem.
But some how, it boots up properly once in a while. But even after it boots up, I cannot go anywhere except the home screen.
If the home button is stuck, this is expected right?
Dont you have this problem?
I suggest you take the phone apart and replace the broken button.
Another thing that might be a little EASIER (without actually *fixing* anything) is to write your boot.img into your RECOVERY partition. If you need recovery, you can always "fastboot boot recovery.img". Having the regular boot image in the recovery partition *should* make it boot normal with a stuck home button. This way you don't need fastboot to normal boot the thing.
I tried opening it.
I opened the screws on the back side. But I could not figure out how to get to the home button from inside.
For some reason, I can boot in properly. (It goes into recovery sometimes. But if I switch off and wait for sometime, I can boot normally.)
My main problem is that once I boot, I cant get anywhere from the main home screen.

That makes sense, since as soon as you launch anything, the stuck home button will return you to home.
You may want to try harder to take it apart. You need to remove the circuit board in the "chin".
Do you know how to get access to the chin?
I could not figure that part.
When I opened the screws on the backside, I could not see anything that would lead me to the chin.

Here's the service manual:

It will walk you through a complete disassembly and reassembly.
Thanks a ton!!
I will try and see if I can do something about the button
Is there a better way than opening up the phone? The home button on my G1 stopped working, so, I unrooted the phone, but now it's stuck on the Triangle/Exclamation point screen. I've been able to do Alt S, (Alt+w doesn't work, I think the w is also broken), but I can't reboot because it asks for home and back button to reboot. Any other suggestions?
Ok guys, this is not a pretty solution but what you can do is re-map your phone so the camera button acts as a home key and home key does nothing. It's a hack but it's a simple one and sure beats the hell out of replacing the whole phone.
Here's a thread with directions.
I tried remapping my home button to the camera button and once in the os it works, but still boots into recovery everytime and doesn't let me wipe, flash,etc with the camera button. It aborts....
Also, a quick tip I learned......If u keep booting into recovery just go to console and type reboot android. It'll boot normally.
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App
with the remapping the keys make sure you push all the .kl files and if you want to remove the home button from working at all remove the home button line from the .kl file.
You should also make sure that you re-map your home button to do nothing, otherwise it will not work.
Thank u jj972 for that quick tip atleast I can get out of recovery mode....
HOW DO I enter downloading mode!
i press volume button down, home screen button, lock screen button i let go of lock screen button after i saw the screen on and i continue to press it as long as i can hold and it just gets stuck at downloading screen i cannot go to select anything what can i do???
huh what? you want to get into the download mode? well the downloading screen is the download mode... its what you use when you've messed your phone and you need to flash it using odin.
Now if you mean the update/boot mode where you can apply update.zips, then thats volume up + menu + power.
instructions are on the wiki
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/GT-I9000
with big pictures too
Just so you don't feel silly for asking, you don't need to let go of the power button to enter download mode.
You are in the download mode, you can't do anything with it from the phone, you put your phone into this mode in order to load a rom onto it from your computer. To get out of the dl mode just pull your battery.
You can just hold down the power button to restart the phone.

have you tried just taking the battery out? waiting a few minutes and then putting it back in?...
I stucked the same way in recovery mod, take out battery then back after 15 minutes and boots back to recovery where it not allows accept anything.
With adb command i was able to reboot into bootloader mode, and phone works.
But i dont have working recovery mode, cannot enter download mode, and the phone not rooted.
Yes, I know, everyone knows how to enter safe mode, bootloader, and recovery.
I found there are some inconsistencies to entering and using recovery depending on your which software you are running. In addition there are multiple ways of entering stock recovery.
Also I always see people asking this question because somehow the keypress order is not intuitive.
Entering Safe Mode
Tablet booted and running Android
Press/Hold Power button until power menu shows up
Tap/Hold Power off option
Choose OK to reboot in safe mode
Tablet powered down
Press/Hold Power button until Google screen shows up, RELEASE Power button
Press/Hold VolDn until Android has booted up
If successful, you will see Safe mode overlayed on bottom left of screen.
Entering Bootloader (ie fastboot mode)
Tablet booted and running Android
From adb
adb reboot bootloader
can also choose recovery from menu after bootloader comes up
From app
Use Quick Boot from Google Play
Tablet powered down
Power+VolDn while booting to enter bootloader
Release buttons after you see bootloader screen
Entering Stock Recovery
Tablet booted and running Android
From adb
adb reboot recovery
From app
Use Quick Boot from Google Play
Tablet powered down
Power+VolUp while booting to enter recovery
You can release buttons after you see Google on screen
When Stock Recovery starts you will see the Android fallen down screen
To bring up the Recovery menu
Power+VolUp to show recovery menu
Must be this sequence Press/Hold Power, THEN Press/Release VolUp, release Power
Within menu
VolUp to move up
VolDn to move down
Power to select
In addition, I found an inconsistency with JSS15J stock recovery that wasn't in the JWR66N recovery
While at the Android fallen down screen if you mistakenly press
VolUp
instead of
Power+VolUp
you will still get the Recovery menu.
However, VolUp will no longer function. It will instead become a toggle for switching between the Recovery menu and the Android fallen down screen
Android fallen down screen
VolUp to toggle recovery menu
Within menu
VolUp does not work since it toggles recovery menu
VolDn to move down
Power to select

I don't remember if there are two images one with and one without the triangle. I think I've only seen the image with the red exclamation point.
I've never seen anything to indicate the red exclamation mark is something you need to pay attention to.
Now if you apply an update and there is an error, then that is something I would pay attention to.

It doesn't load the stuff you added.
It is similar to safe mode on a PC, used to diagnose whether the issue is in the stock ROM or is in something you introduced by installing some app.
I Have a probleme

oh sorry i was panic so i searched in every thing
Bootloader
If none of that works, try the command with a dash "adb reboot-bootloader" Depends on your device sometimes, sometimes unplugging your device right after you enter this command will keep it from getting stuck at the boot logo screen. If that doesn't work, hold the power button to power device down and then boot it into recovery instead using the button combo. Then you can wipe cache & start all over again.
I'm not even able to get into Recovery. I can get to the bootloader, then I select "Recovery mode" and it shows the Google logo, but it never goes into recovery. I have let it sit at the Google logo for a couple of hours, and end up just holding down the power button to shut it down.
I have tried Skipsofts toolkit, as well as Wug's, to try to unlock the bootloader. This ends up with the device hanging at the "Unlock bootloader" screen after selecting "Yes". Again, I have left it in this state for well over an hour with no change.
Here's some info on my 2013 Nexus 7:
KitKat 4.4.4
Never rooted
Never unlocked bootloader
HW version rev-e
Bootloader version FLO-04.02
I suspect my Nexus knew I was supposed to go on travel next week and is faking sick.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi guys i have a google nexus 5 and it is locked state. It is getting booted again and again but it jiust reaches google logo and again restarts. Safe boot is also enabled so i cant enter in recovery mode also. Please help me ASAP.

When you try to go in recovery mode keep pressed longer volume up and home, release power when screen is on. I had this issue and worked for me this way
