So I've seen this problem in several posts and on various forums, but I've yet to find a solution.
Basically the camera button works fine on the device, but when I'm in Clockwork Recovery, the camera button does not register a click. I've also scrolled through the list until the "Back Button Enabled" message appears, it also does not work.
The power, Menu, and Home buttons toggle the screen on and off.
The Back, Search, Camera buttons do nothing.
I was on .621, ended up SBFing and rerooting using the Linux bootdisk method.
I have root, and can get Rom Manger to reboot and make a backup, but it fails on updating the rom, so that doesn't work either?
Any suggestions on what I'm missing or doing wrong?

so i was about to install the 2.3.15 leak. i bootstrapped than recovery and went into clockwork like usual. the problem is, when i press the camera button to select an option, it just goes into a black screen and does nothing. when i press the power button again it goes into the menu. i cant select anything cause it just goes into a black screen . ive tried to do a search and cant really anything. what is going on and how do i fix it?
i have a motorola droid x with the froyo 2.2 leaked version.
It might be worth a shot flashing an older version of Clockwork recovery then back to the current one. That has fixed alot of problems for me.
Hi,
I just tried flashing new ROM and now the Clockwork Recovery does not work anymore. I can go to Bootloader then select Recovery to be in Clockwork but at there whenever I select a menu such as Wipe data or Install zip, etc.. I get a blank screen, it totally not work.
So please tell me how to re-install it or even remove it as well. Any helps appreciated!
Thanks.
make sure you're not pressing the power button when selecting something, press trackball, lols.
on the first menu when you select "recovery" you have to use the power button to select something.
in the next menu the track ball is used instead.
this is confusing, but this is usually explained in all tutorials, so next time just be careful with reading
ahhhhh Thank you guys for the replies. I have used this tool so many times but don't know why I forgot it, It just was the stupid of mine, the power button is just back
Thanks again!
I don't know if this is in the right section, but I've tried searching everywhere, and have been searching for quite sometime trying to some sort of solution and haven't found any yet. Here's the issue:
I rooted my friends Droid 2, wanted to put the Liberty ROM on there, got ROM-Manager and installed Clockwork Recovery, attempted to use Rom Manager to go into the Recovery and go from there. Instead it booted into the Bootloader, attempted to use hold 'X' and the Power button to get into the recovery. The backlight came on, and it never went into the recovery, just sat at the bootloader. Now to turn the phone on it needs to have the camera button and power button held, but will never go into the recovery. Alas I connected back to the urb cord, and it doesn't read the connection. After looking around, found out, that when I have the phone connected to usb all the drivers show up as unknown......
Ok, so as I was typing this, the usb/drivers suddenly decided to start working(no idea how), but when I try and get it into the recovery console it shows the droid/exclamation point, but no menu.
Any help would amazing, just wanting to get Liberty ROM installed, Or if anyone knows of a ROM that is closest to CyanogenMOD would be even better.
You need to use Koush's Bootstrap for recovery before you even attempt to install clockwork via ROM manager as this is an e-fuse locked phone it's not like the D1 or other HTC droids etc. (Please read a D2 ROM install before flashing anything as it will save you headache and time!)
If you want to get into the stock recovery just hit the search (magnifying glass) key on the keyboard after you get to the android screen with the exclamation mark, this will bring up the menu. You can use the volume keys or the keyboard directional arrows and select with the camera button or the "ok" button.
I previously updated my phone with the update.zip. It worked for a while and then started giving me grief. I backed up the SD card and then tried the simple root. After a few tries, it appeared to be successful. I formatted my SD card and then replaced the backed up files. I then backed up my phone with Titanium backup.
Here is where the trouble lies: I powered down the phone and held the volume down/camera/power button until it booted into ClockworkMod Recovery. I selected "wipe data/factory reset" and pressed the home key. The screen went black but the led stayed on and the keys on the bottom stayed lit up. It stayed like that for at least 10 minutes. I tried pressing buttons, powering on/off, nothing. Finally I did a battery pull. After the battery pull it allows me to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery, but won't let me reboot or anything. Anytime I make a selection, it goes to a black screen.
Now what? I'm freaking out here!
This has got to be a troll right? You don't use the home key to make your selections. The home key MAKES the screen go black, that's what it does.
You should be using the camera button to make your selections.
No troll, I sincerely thought that you used the home screen to select. I'll try the camera button now. Thanks for the info!
my guess is he's on stock recovery... not clockwork
I was trying to do a factory wipe. It is my first time to root a phone and use CMW. The camera button did the trick. Thank you!
If memory serves me correctly you do use the home button to make a selection with stock settings.
OP you may want to just use the Samsung utility to flash back to Stock EB13. After that you can root or do whatever you like.
I also used the update.zip to start with, and even though I didn't have any of the serious bugs that we have seen. I went ahead and flashed it back stock anyways and noticed an improvement.
You should be able to find a link to the samsung tool here, I'm sure its still on a mirror.
If not let me know.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Don't use the power button to select. Use the trackpad

Well first off, you should ALWAYS make nandroid (ROM manager) backups before flashing any ROM, addon, patch, etc.
That aside, you have a few things to do here. If you didn't make a nandroid backup you should download a ROM.zip file from the Dev section (your choice), and put it on your SDcard. Enter the boot loader (from off) by holding vol. down+power, then selecting 'recovery'. Once in recovery, wipe data/factory reset, and then go to 'install zip from SDcard' and select the ROM.zip. Then flash any associated .zip's or anything that the ROM maker suggest. Reboot, and you're good to go in a working ROM. You can now go from there.
Remember, when in recovery you need to use the TRACKPAD and BACK BUTTON to navigate the CWM recovery screen. Using the power button / camera button / menu button will just show/hide the menu or turn the screen off. You can scroll and select with the trackpad, and go back with the 'back' button. Only use these 2. Nothing is wrong with your phone, you're just using the wrong damn buttons.
Your phone is so far from bricked its not even funny. Just follow some basic knowledge on how the recovery and ROM manager works and you'll be back to 100%.
thanks alot guys. i was really high so i started getting paranoid about my phone lol BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH
Power Button just shows the wallpaper, trackpad is where you select for our phone
