So I have this really odd thing going on with my HD2. I am able to turn the phone on with the power button, but once Android boots, button stops working. I was using CM7 when it started, now I have switched to CM9, but the problem is still there. Any ideas about ways of fixing it?
[QUOTE/] Any ideas about ways of fixing it?[/QUOTE]No, but change your system to AOKP Icecreamtosti Milestone SE and activate the Navbar.
After this you can activate up to 5 softkeys with 10 options, include powerbutton.
And I think, better you change the bootloader to clk, than you can boot directly into the recovery, if you press the housebutton while booting.
AT last install the CWM touch recovery.

Hello!
I'm having a problem during the installation of the clockwork recovery, tbh its one of the first steps but here we go
atm Im using MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.6 and I would like to install the recovery but to do this I need to reach magldr which is not accessible due to the fact that I can't do anything except looking how my android autoboots ;/
every time I turn off the phone and hold the power button, it just boots to my android. I see magldr starting and booting my system, counting 123456, then gogogo but I cant do anything
help me
You need to keep that button pressed until you're really in the menu, you're probably releasing it too soon?
Are you keeping the power button down all the way thru the boot process, if you're not, keep holding it from power down til it reboots and keep holding it until it should switch to the mgldr options menu.

oh my god, that was so easy
works
thank you very much!
once you get used to it, you'll find you only need to hold power from just at the end of the first bootscreen until the menu appears, about 4/5 seconds. Not all the way from power on, about 15 seconds.
After a complete insatallation of TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.3.7[2.3.4][A2SD][tytung r10], everything works almost perfect, but when I boot my phone keeping pressing the power button, my phone is loading Android.
Did I miss, or accidenatally delete a file during the installation of MAGLDR?
How can I backup/restore or update this ROM if I have this problem?
(First post. Be gently!)
try= turn phone on then it vibrates then press and hold power button till magdlr screen appears
Obviously when you say 'magldr screen apears', you mean the screen with the 12 options and not the black screen with ...gogogo which is loading Android.
I missed the magldr boot so many times, just for 3 more seconds!
Thank you for the quick reply.
yeah the screen with the options is the magdlr screen anything past that and the phone is booting, and no probs just hit the thanks button if i helped
Hey guys,
So today the power button on my nexus s 19020A randomly stopped working. Whether i am in recovery, bootloader, or the os, the power button refuses to work. In addition, the volume buttons work fine in recovery and os but they don't work in bootloader. I have a nexus s 19020a with Brickmaster's MIUI. I have clockworkmod touch recovery as well. Please help me! is this a hardware of software issue?
Although I have not experienced it, from what I have read the ns4g has a wonky power button to begin with. There have been numerous threads here discussing the delicacy of said button. Good news you have touch recovery. Aokp will let you wake your phone with volume buttons. And I believe that the search button will select in recovery not touch based

well i have a nexus s 3g so thats not it. and this phone is less than a year old so im kind of frustrated if the power button is already broken. I know i can use volume buttons to unlock it but i shouldn't have to.
happened same thing to me about 2 weeks ago. I have the I9023 and the power button randomly stopped working, and the volume buttons didnt work in fastboot! I looked over and over and i couldnt find a solution. I finally sent it to Samsung and they rapared it for free.
I dont think you'll be able to fix it without having the power button working.
Good luck tho. And report back if you get it to work

i just responded in that thread, read what i wrote about what i do in the bootloader to get it to work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22692987&postcount=3
these are all viable work arounds but that doesnt change the fact that it should not happen. the phone is less than a year old for me! i hope best buy or samsung will replace it or fix the issue for mine.

Dude this is crazy, this just happened to me too!
I can't use volume buttons in fastboot and I can't restore to stock for some reason because my phone isn't recognized in fastboot...I think it has something to do with the volume buttons issue. What can I do to get it to look like stock so I can give it back to the store for repair?
im gonna flash back a stock rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664 and then use fastboot to relock my bootloader. where did you buy yours from?
[SOLVED]
I rooted this, installed clockworkmod, then went and got an cm7 dated april something 2012 u8160 rom from psyke83 website.
installed it through clockworkmod install from sd card option with success (also clicked option to backup everything).
yet when phone reboots it hangs on the blue arrow in a circle spinning around, sometimes reboots n repeats but it never goes past that.
I have tried going into recovery mode holding down volume buttons and power
and I get 1 of 2 errors:
with sd card in:
firmware update
step 1/2
unpacking
update failed
with sd card out:
purple screen.
I am a first time android modder, can someone please, please tell me how to fix this. I can access the sd card with a reader if need be to put whatever files on it that I should.
Thank you.
Start the phone by pressing volume up + power OR volume down + power. You should be able to boot to recovery with one of those combinations (other one boots to fastboot most probably). After that do the wipe data/cache and try to reboot once again.
What was wrong in the beginning was that you did not wipe data/cache. That made the CM use old OS's data files which obviously won't work.
The unpacking thing was caused by pressing volume up + volume down + power. That causes the phone to go to upgrade mode if there is an update package found.
Nope. still goes to the blue arrow circling then freezes then reboots....

You are right about me not wiping the data/cache though...
But in your phone forum, are there tutorials on how to boot to recovery? Do you have any other hard keys on the phone?
there is one other button but that didn't work either.
I cannot find a forum for Huawei model u8180 (

Hmm, would this work?
yay!!
it was volume up + power + cancel button (? maybe home button? not sure on what this button is but its the biggest).
wiped all data n cache n then it booted properly.
So the problem is solved? If you can, mark first post title with [SOLVED].

huaweiU8180 freeze on boot to recovery
I have tried all the solution but failed the problem is my HuaweiU8180 keeps on hanging wen I try booting to recovery mode now I can't format my phone and I can't install a custom ROM even when the phone is rooted and I hav ROM manager premium installed and I flashed CWM but still someone help me please
Ive used this hundreds of times and never had a problem, but now, I recently rooted and when I boot into recovery, the whole menu shows up but when i lick an option, its send me into a black screen rather then showing sub menus, I can get back to the regular menu by hitting the power button but none of the menus will take me into subs, meaning, I cant get into my install zip folder or anything like that. Anyone had this problem? Thanks for the help and time!
Edit: yes I have bootstrapped and all that and I am on .621. The only difference this time is the program I used to root, which is framaroot 1.6.0 apk that I loaded to my phone.
you are selecting with the camera button?

Like shadow said, try using the camera button. The power button toggles the screen to/from a blacked out state.
You can just push the power button again to un-black the screen.
I had the same problem myself.. when in doubt, experiment. CWM is pretty good about not letting you accidentally wipe your data.
