How can i get into recovery without a working volum button.
My phone is currently stuck at the startup screen, flashed the wrong language pack for SCI-MIUI.
Tried adb during startup....
Any suggestions?
adb is your only hope look here

You can use the capcative buttons at bottom of your phone

Another option is to use an app like "Quick Boot" which allows you to reboot your phone directly into recovery without any hardware buttons.

But you need a working rom, other than that you are correct

I'm just trying to enter recovery console. I have tryed EVERY button combination & used a computer to just did use SDK. Any help would be GREAT ! Thank you
Just to make sure: you need to release the button at the right time.
Turn off your phone and take out the battery for 5 sec then put the battery back. Then hold power+vol up + vol down together and once you see the Vibrant logo, release the power button immediately WHILE pressing vol up+vol down.
That didn't work tryed 3 times.

Have you tried via adb:
adb reboot recovery
I had difficulty getting to recovery when I reflashed the stock ROM via ODIN. But once it was rooted and I got Clockwork Recovery back on there, I haven't had an issue via the button combination t get into recovery.
I will try that thx for the info.

I was on the same boat as you. I just gave up and did the one-click root process. It wasn't exactly one-click, but it was simple enough. Now I've got the Clockwork ROM manager, which will let you boot into its recovery through the application itself.
I downloaded the one click lag fix app that roots your phone & fix the lag but I just can't get into recovery mode.

I was in the same boat then read to do the 3 button thingy but do not let go of anything until the 2nd time the word vibrant comes up then let go of everything...after hours of frustration,i can't believe how easy it was....not sure why this tip is not in a sticky or easily found on xda.

that does not seem to work. I am pretty sure the newer models have this disabled somehow.
Not true, I just bought my vibrant yesterday and I can get into recovery console just fine...

are you rooted?
Download a terminal emulator from the market.

su

What date code is on your vibrant box? I am on my second phone both built in august and the buttons do not work on either. I had to root via adb recovery. The earlier built phones are rumored to be fine. Dosent seem to matter when you got the phone more when it was made.
My first Vibrant got into recovery no problem, I received a replacement phone which would not get into recovery using the hardware buttons. I called T-Mobile and told them of the problem and they sent me out a new phone. This last one boots into recovery first try. I know there is a common problem with some Vibrants out there not booting into recovery, thankfully T-Mobile will exchange if it won't.
Let me check when I get back home. Is this a t-mobile acknowledged issue with vibrants now?

When mine gets finicky, I just plug it to my Windows machine, Enable USB Debugging, open the command prompt, and type "adb reboot recovery" without quotes. Works every time. You can also use "adb reboot download" to get into download mode.

For what it's worth, this helped me.
Hold volume up, volume down, and power all together, wait for Vibrant to come for the second time, then let go of the power button but not the menu button. After another second, I let go of the volume buttons and instantly went into recovery.
Good luck.
I tried terminal and it said it was not permitted

Someone on the I9000 boards posted that recovery can also be invoked by heat! He used an oven, but suggested a hair dryer to be safe.

I agree with this one. My Vibrant has a date of 8/14/10, and for the life of me it will not button into recovery. I really have read every thread on the topic here as well as other android forums, and tried every combination (over and over).
Rooting was a no brainer with one touch, and with that, I can get to recovery easily. The problem I see, is in the event of a miss step somewhere down the line.
I can't tell you the relief that I felt doing a battery pull to button recovery with my G1(many times). When you are in a bootloop or the like, and nothing else will work, you just need that capability.
Sadly, my Vibrant will be going back because of this. I don't understand why they would hobble the devise this way. I'm sure they will get many more phones returned because of it.
You need to type su first.
From terminal:
su
reboot recovery

Welcome,
is it possible to install Android on HTC HD2 without using HOME button ? My HOME and PHONE buttons aren't working so I can't start Clockwork Recovery from clk. Is it any other way to do it ?
Or I need to pay for repair ?
Hmm.... i think it is not possible

But my phone/call button doesn't work too.
1. Press the 'Volume Down' button to goto Option 5: USB Flasher and press the 'Call' button (far left of the 5 hardware buttons at the bottom)
Edit: Isn't it possible to flash different parts of a ROM using fastboot?
Maybe you could flash a ROM like this :
Copy the files (your rom .zip) into the same folder you have the “Fastboot” program.
After flashing cLK and installing recovery, Open a CMD Window in your PC, and go to the directory where you have the “Fastboot” and the files you want to load into the phone.
Now enter the command as follows:
Code:
Fastboot erase system
Fastboot update Rom_Filename.zip
Reboot the phone
Code:
Fastboot reboot

Im not sure if this will work or not, it's just a theory, but you have nothing to lose

lol, cLK & MAGLDR are secondary bootloaders, there is no way to brick.
How about using your brain before making posts?

If you're using CM or other CM based rom then you can unlock using menu button.
You need to enable it from CyanogenMod settings.
nope im on carbon v1.1
Also i have cynogenmod 7.1 in my sd card but i can't control anything in CWM recovery coz the power button is not working.
Try twrp recovery. You can flash it via terminal and in that recovery the home soft key acts as the power button.
Good luck

use rom manager to reboot your phone in to the CWM re install your cm 7 also you can add lock screen in your power widget to lock the phone. and use wolume rocker wake in cm settings/input to wake phone.

The clockwork recovery also functions with soft keys.
Menu and home for up and down and search for select.

Ok thanks.
go to the market and download Fix Broken Power Button
its that simple. it'll solve all you're problems
no need for hacks!
If you use WidgetLocker, you can set it to wake on volume key press.
thanks for the info guys.
Dunno about nexus s, but ns4g can use the softkeys for CWM 5.0.2.0.....no need for power button
So do you resolve?
Yep as of now i am using CM7.1.0.1 but fix the power button app also works properly.
@hp420 even on the nexus S we can use softkeys in CWM.
So i seem to have a strange problem, i downloaded CM 10.1 flashed with the latest GAPPS however upon boot i get "Unfortunantely the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" whenever i click ok i get "unfortunantly , setup wizard has stopped". I am unable to access power the power menu or do anything besides click ok. I can access the files on my Nexus however due to not being able to cold boot into recovery I am stuck. Whenever i use a toolkit and try to reflash to stock it sticks on "waiting on device" anyone have any advice

Isn't it just a good idea to have it on the charger while flashing? Or does this have a negative effect?

If TWRP is an option for you you can install it using the GooManager app, install the GooManager app, open it press the menu button go to install openrecoveryscript it'll say this will download and write a recovery image to your device. Press Yes.
It then asks you if you want to install openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-find5.img, this is the latest version made by Kamma and Dees_Troy I believe.
This should help you out.

Alright There is an issue with a find 5 that i tried to trouble shoot. The owner of this find 5 is able to boot into fastboot but not into recovery. No matter how many times I tried to flash recovery, it always did but the phone refused to enter recovery. First, it doesnt even start without a power source. whether it be a connection to the computer or power outlet, it needs as a power source, and when it doesn, holding the volume down + power it goes from the oppo screen to a black screen. Anyone have any idea? I even flashed the rom though fastboot (which i didnt know could be done but apparently it can) and it still didnt turn on and still had the same issues
