I accidentally clicked the button circled, and TWRP would not allow me to create any backups
I then had to restart and go back into recovery and backup worked fine
I really can't find a userguide anywhere on the web, so can someone please clue me in on what this button does?
I'll hit the Thanks button for anyone who clues me in...thanks!

I believe it brings up the script...it can show you what you flashed or did while in the recovery session. I just tap it again and it goes backup to where I was

what it did exactly was
"updating partition details...
Running boot script..."
what the heck does that do? and if i pressed it again..it just did the same thing
it wouldn't allow me to create a backup until i rebooted back into recovery....so what does that exactly do? Thanks

I believe it's just saying that it ran the bootscript (for the recovery) to boot. I don't know the proper terms to define it but that's what think it is. When you press the button you circled in the picture, it didn't take you back to the TWRP menu (with Install, Wipe, etc.)? I tried it right now and it took me back to it and everything is functioning

So I did the step by step rooting of my Sprint Hero
I get to the part where I flash the image in the shell and it is almost instant to get back to pound sign prompt
I then reboot recovery and the phone shuts off and powers on again with the HTC splash screen. The screen goes away after 1 second and the phone doesnt do anything. No recovery console at all.
What do I do? I want to install the custom rom but i I also want to backup the phone first.
Try this:
Turn the phone off. hold in the volume down button and the power button. When fastboot loads up press the home button and let us know what happens.
If it hangs at boot, reflash the recovery. Sometimes it gets corrupted during the download.
yeah, for some reason, when I try that way to it does nothing.. so i generally use the flashboot/hboot method

When I press the home button using this metod, the phone just has the "htc" logo on the screen and hangs there indefinitely.

Make sure you're flashing the correct one.

This happens for me as well and I am using the correct version with the "c" in it. Is the file actually 3.19MB? Also, when using the flash command, is it supposed to provide any feedback or create a file or directory on the SD Card?

It doesn't give any feed back that I know of. But there's a program called flashrec (Direct Link [.apk] ) that I use to flash recovery images right off the phone. And you don't even need to have a rooted phone.
this happened to me as well. i had to load up the stock sprint ruu, and then go through the rooting process again. the recovery image gets corrupted somehow during the flashing, and even if you try to reflash the image, the corruption remains on the phone. gotta start from scratch.....
for some reason it is not booting uo it is stuck on X does anyone know how to fix this
Stock or rooted/custom?
If the latter, do you have a recent Nandroid to restore from?
Have you installed anything since your last boot?
Gotta give us more detail.

Boot pressing trackball and power button. Select with volume up/down the bootloader entry and press power button. Again select clean up storage and select it, same way. Reboot and should work. WARNING clearing storage will delete any on your phone's memory. Your memory card content will NOT be deleted. Hope it works!
i have tried numerous sites and i still cant get this. I have full root, and clockwork recovery with full rom manager. When i go to backup the phone restarts into a screen with a phone and red triangle. when i press up and power there is no option for backup. am i doing something wrong or missing a step. Please help

Just boot the phone up again and reinstall Clockwork recovery again. Some times it takes 2 times to get it to work.
If I helped you hit the Thanks button below!
What this means is you still have the stock recovery. Did you root? Are you s=off? If yes to all, try to flash the CWRecovery and it should go through. I rooted, backed up, and flash my wifes mt4g with no issues.

If your going into the stock recovery everytime... then I dont think you have clockwork installed. just because it says it installs doesnt mean anything. Which way did you go about rooting?
Please post questions in Q&A section.
I am having issues with this as well and ive installed and uninstalled rom manger 4 times now
this might be a dumb question... for those who are having trouble are you remembering to select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" before selecting "Reboot into Recovery" or "Backup Current ROM"? if you don't select that then nothing else will work right

thank you. this worked
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.

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
