Does CWM recovery use the home button? I thought it uses the power button for confirmation instead.

no its the home key just tryied it im sure

The easiest way is to find a touch recovery that can be flashed using odin. Otherwise ask around in the kernel threads and see if any one of them use the power button instead of the home button.

Vol down button broken, other methods of flashing/rooting??

So my vol. down button has broken on my captivate. In stock recovery it wont allow you to cycle through the menu by hitting volume up(the volume button that works). In order to root typically you have to scroll down one selection and select re-install packages to install SU, but seeing as how my volume down button is broken I cant do that. . . So are there any other ways to get root so I can flash back to cm7? Or even a method of simply replacing stock recovery since CWM recovery allows you to cycle through the menu by hitting volume up? As of now I'm a slave to stock, and it's no fun
I am not 100% sure... But can't you use the adb console and do what you need?

Thank you for confirming this for me. I was away from the computer and haven't had to use ADB in a while.
For anyone who is wondering. I found a way to root without the use of the volume buttons. By using a very convenient application. Here is a link to the site on how to do it.

[Q] Boot directly to recovery

Instead of doing the usual VOLDOWN + PWR and then waiting a couple minutes to get into the bootloader and selecting recovery, is there any button combination to boot directly to recovery?
i have AMON-RA 2.2.1 if that makes any difference
Nope.
Couple of min? It's 2 sec to bootloader, and another 10-15 sec to recovery.
If you're rooted use Quickboot

Rom manager, a number of roms also come with 4way reboot mod which gives us the option to reboot to recovery on press of the power button
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
pretty much rom manager is the way I do it.. There should be a way to do it like you say op
You could go with a rom manager. I know CWM does it. Also if you don't mind you can use the cable and adb (assuming you have the sdk-tools) from your computer.
PHP:
$>adb reboot recovery

Broken Power button

Hi..
One of my friends has a Note but his power button is broken. He hasn't really contacted service center for repair coz he didn't really miss anything about the button..but now if he wants to root...flash rom etc..is it even possible to do that without a functional power button?
Any guidance would be appreciated! Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
there are mods for ics .. like a toggle for reboot .. which when u press gives 3 options (reboot / recovery / download).
but i dont think it will be possible to boot in to recovery without the power button if the phone has a bootloop or stuck at startup.
You can flash roms but it would be really dangerous
If anything goes wrong after flashing a rom and got stuck,you cant enter recovery or download mode

No you wrong,
If its Custom Rom may you can use RomManager And Reboot into Recovery Mode,Then Advanced,Reboot into Download....
its possible to enter recovery, download mode without that button, but if you get bootloop you will need it so send it to repair

He's talking about when the rom won't boot up to access those apps. If is boots up, plenty options are there anyway

No recovery Mode

Anyone know how to get into recovery mode, seems there's no way to get in there. Tried vol-up Home & power button but nothing works.

Fore Recovery mode Use
C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies\External\FirmwareUpdate\GT-I8190\adb-windows.exe
command "adb-windows reboot recovery"
/Antte
Hey thanks' a lot.

Can you explain more details.
No adb-windows.exe this directory.
And what we do?
Read the build file damn.. we have full access to recovery .. on a powered on phone... forget the recovery ..
# Enable RecoverySystem to emit "factory-reset" reset string
# instead of "recovery" when doing a factory reset. This is
# useful when implementing factory reset without the entire
# recovery framework.
ro.factoryresetwithoutrecovery=true
Sry my harsh words
Recomend wiping phone before flashing anything to avoid errors , fc and bootloops from the settings meny.. there is NO button combination
Sent from my GT-I8190 using XDA Premium App
If you do the adb reboot recovery just once you should be able to boot into recovery by holding Power + Menu buttons.
Are you sure?
Well I'm not a 100% if that's what you mean.

Another method
1. Up the new rom that is rooted by odin. That's mean your phone has rooted
2. You install quick boot app from the market play. Then open quick boot and hit recovery
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
yeah, it also works with rom toolbox (-> rebooter -> reboot in recovery) and rom manager (-> reboot in recovery).

You need ROOT

Lost touch ability in CWM recovery.

Hi guys, really stumped here!
For some reason i cannot use the touch controls in CWM recovery. I am 100% using the CWM touch 6.0.31 . Any ideas what i've done/ how to fix this please?
Did you reboot or power off and on? If reboot try power off.

Ive tried reboot recovery and also power off then hold power/vol down. Both times i can access CWM touch recovery but can only use the vol up/down buttons to move up/down. This is fine for the most part but leaves me stuck when using ROMS that require AROMA install.
Also, does anybody know if this problem has happened before.. Because I can't find anything on it!! If anybody knows how to get through aroma without using touchscreen that would be awesome too..
Yeah the same happened to me, use 6.0.3.3 instead

Stock ROM, CWM Recovery
Hi there, thanks for the replies. Managed to use fastboot to flash 6.0.4.5 which is now working! =D
