The home button on my G1 stopped working, so, I unrooted the phone, but now it's stuck on the stock recovery (Triangle/Exclamation point screen). I've been able to do Alt S and alt+L, (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 on what i can do to fix this?

First off, i would appreciate any help. I've had my girlfriends phone rooted and running gingeryoshi rc4 for the past few months. She dropped her phone from about a foot high and it turned off on her. When she turned it back on, it booted into recovery.
I'm running amon recovery on it. I've tried running a recent nandroid, and it say it completes, but when it restarts, it boots back into recovery... I've tried fresh installs of different roms, other nandroids, partitioning sd card, and clearing everything. All the installas say they work, but they boot back into recovery.
Now, what I notice that is weird, is that when you have to confirm your actions in amon recovery, and you have to press the home button to confirm, i dont have to press it, it does it automatically. But then, sometimes it doesn't do it automatically and pressing the home button doesn't confirm that action, but the menu button will confirm the action. Other times the menu button will do what is supposed to do, and abort its task.
Oh, and I was able to boot up once after a fresh install of gingeryoshi rc7. But the setup wizard crashed and there was never any launcher or home screen, but there was a status bar and lockscreen. Sometimes I think it boots straight into recovery because the home button is stuck? But it's actions don't make it seem stuck
Sorry for making it so long, any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks.
Hi all,
I succesfully updated my Droid Pro to Gingerbread and rooted it. Then played around with it, and now the launcher (home) crashes (dont ask). So I am basically caught in a loop. Cant undo the damage, coz whenever I click force close, the phone tries to relaunch the home screen and --- bam -- crashes.
So I decided to wipe.
I pulled the battery. Powered up, while pressing power + r + m. Sure enough, I boot up in recovery mode. Triangle and little droid. And then --- I am stuck. This is where you are supposed to press "@" and then you get the recovery menu. But the phone does not respond to the @ key. It does not respond to ANY key.
Now what?
Help would be appreciated.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Press both volume keys at the same time..;D
Thanks a bundle.
Edit: and thanks again. Got everything up and running smoothly.
By the by, for those who wish to learn from my mishap: I am in the Netherlands and decided, just for fun, to see if the phone would support the locale nl-NL (Netherlands - Dutch). So, I downloaded more locale2, added a custom locale and ---- the home screen crashed.
So guys, if you want to add your own locale, make a backup first.
Hi guys,
My Mrs. Orange SanFran has all of a sudden decided it doesnt want it's screen touched anymore. All the hard buttons are working and can not see any other issues. Seems there are several people who have experienced it but it seems to resolved itselfon a restart but her's isn't, no matter how long I take the battery out or pressing the reset under the battery cover I can't use the screen making it useless.
Any ideas? I stuck a custom Rom of 2.2 on it when first got it but can't remeber which one, maybe modaco Kitchen R12 Rom.
Cheers
Reboot to recovery, Wipe both Dalvik and normal cache, and restart. If that doesn't help, do a factory reset / wipe data, and restart. If that doesn't help re-install the rom.
Thanks for the tip, but I tried to enter recovery by holding down volume key when powering up but a screen breifly loaded that had the small text "android" written upsidedown but then just goes on loop of the screen and the standard screen, can't do anything.
Holding up volume whilst powering on doesn;t do anything and because I can't use the touch screen I can't access any recovery apps through the phone OS.
It's weird cause I've used to recovery mode on phone boot before as first ROM didn't work, so I know the recovery module worked before, no idea why not now. :-s
Could be either bad flash/root or faulty hw. Google "de-bricking a ZTE Blade".
Thanks again. Came across a very thorough article on modaco but unfortunately the phone won't do anything than a normal startup when holding the up volume or up and menu, so can't try any of the suggestions.
The volume buttons do work though as moved the volume in the OS
Just to be sure: you did first press & hold the volume down button, and then press & hold the power button? You have to hold them both down until the recovery menu pops up. I can take even 10 seconds or more.
If everything fails, try TPT flash. It should solve if there is no hardware issue.
Hi all. I was tinkering around with my device, and this is what happened.
I tried to install the MIUI rom found here, but didn't flash loki. So I got the message upon reboot that ATT Found unauthorized software or whatever, and wouldn't get me get past the screen. Booting into recovery didn't work after that as well, so I proceeded to look for a solution. Someone had posted to get into the download screen, press cancel, and hold the volume up to get back into recovery, and bam that worked.
So now I'm back to using the backup of the rom I was using before, but now I can't get back into my recovery by the old method that I was using. However, that workaround I found works fine. Any ideas?
Edit, so whenever I boot up all I have to do is press the volume up button and it goes to recovery from there. I'm fine with that as long as my phone isn't broken or anything??
Hello
I updated the phone to pie when it was released. But after the update i cant lock the phone with power button, Volume up key also not working anymore. Also if i press long press the power button to reboot it gets stuck in fastboot mode. Screen gets blank if i go to recovery. I had to reboot around 10 to 15 times to get back to the system. this is my fathers phone and i dont want to root it yet. Is this a soft brick or hardware related issue. all the buttons work (key combinations work to boot into fastboot and recovery.) volume up and power key becomes unusable only when i reboot back to the system.
Kindly help me what is the procedure flash which stock rom to get the phone back to normal.
