[Q] Cannot select options in ClockworkMod AT&T Galaxy S II - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hey all, I just got a new phone. First off, I'm really confused here... When I boot my phone it says GT-I9100 but according to XDA the AT&T version should be the i777. Please move this post if it is in the incorrect place.
I successfully rooted my phone using Odin, installed ClockworkMod, tried to make a backup before making any changes, but now while in recovery mode I can use the volume buttons to scroll around but cannot select anything from the menu. What button is normally used to select in CWM for the Galaxy S II that has the 4 touch buttons, not the big one in the center?
When I try to reboot my phone or pull the battery I get this:
-- copying media files...
successfully copied media files.
# MANUAL MODE #
--Updating application...
Successfully updated application.
--Applying Multi-CSC...
Can't access to '/system/csc/ATT/system/'.
Succesfully applied multi-CSC
Then the phone is stuck on a "reboot now" screen.
HELP PLEASE!!! Literally just got this phone, please don't tell me it's just an expensive paperweight now!

Volume to move selection, home to select, back to go to previous menu.

Tried using the power button, nothing. Home button is the same.

That's what worked for me.

Thanks for the info guys. It's good to know at least that I'm pushing the right buttons. Now I just need a fix since they're obviously not working. My phone will not boot past this. I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this issue or if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix it?

Have you tried to go back into download mode? If you can then I would get entropy's stock rom and reflash back to stock and try to start over.

Power button will not select options in ClockWorkMod
djbiker24seven, Was this ever resolved?
I'm having a simliar problem. I booted my phone into ClockworkMod 4.0.1.4 to install cyanogenmod and I can navigate just fine using the volume up/down buttons, but the power button will not select anything. If I press one of the soft buttons on the bottom of the phone, the screen just shows a fedora graphic. If i reboot the phone it constantly boots back into Clockwork and I can't break the loop. I can't get back into download mode either.
If anyone has any insight it would be appreciated.
Samsung Galaxy S II for AT&T (SGH-1777)

Home button for enter, Back button for....... well back. If that's not responding try reflashing a CWM kernel in Odin and try again from scratch.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesnt the SGSII require CM5+?
Yeah it does
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823

In theory, someone could release a kernel with CM4.x for the I777 - but no one has.
If you're in CWM 4.x, I have NO clue what the hell you installed - it sure wasn't for your device.

Stuck Booting to Rom Manager Recovery

I'm the stock att rom on 2.3.4. I had my phone for a while but never backed up my ROM. I performed a permissions fix and rebooted. I selected backup ROM and it rebooted. The phone tried to reboot but got stuck trying to boot to recovery menu. I hit the volume button and got the Rom M. recovery menu. None of the options work. It just shows an icon and does nothing. If I hit the volume button it goes back to menu. I've tried to reboot several times and it keeps on booting to a non functional Rom Manager menu.
I'm done my searches and I'm no luck. Is there a way to recovery without completely wiping the phone? I'm hoping there's an easy way to recover the boot using Odin?
Here's exactly what I did in that situation .. take the battery out and leave it out for about 2 hours.. this will totally deplete your phone of any kind of power.. after your done put it back in and it should boot up perfectly! If not try to take it out for longer

Depending on which version of cwm you are booting into...what button are you using to select? Most of them its either power or the home button. Try the home button to select.

Thanks for the response but I don't see how this would fix the problem as it boots from internal storage and not the memory. I'll try it while I'm doing research and waiting for more responses.

Much Thanks!!!!! Karashta. Selecting the home bottom to select instead of the power is the proper way of selecting the menu's.

GS2 wont boot passed recovery

Hi guys,
Late last year i sold my GS2 to a guy at work. Rooted and with a custom ROM installed (Cognition V1.5.1 - yes i know its old but its not my phone )
I've attempted to install RC1 for CM9 this morning however, I'm falling at the first hurdle. I've booted into Clockwork recovery (4.0.0.2). The menu buttons work fine i.e, up/down and power as enter but when i select anything it goes to a black screen with the ROM Manager logo on it (the gog and the hat) - but no options.
Do i need to install a newer version of Clockwork on the device? If i do whats the best way to do it? Do i use ROM Manager to update it as i cant access any of the menus in recovery (other than the top menu)
I've not seen this problem before as normally people are kept in boot loops or cant get passed a splash screen.
EDIT - i've just managed to get the phone to boot and its now running as normal. I'm just concerned that if i go back into recovery i might not get it back up again.
Many thanks

You're pressing the wrong button lol... use the power button to confirm and the volume buttons to move up and down. The home button does nothing.

[Q] Galaxy Exhibit 4G ROM

Hello all, I'm very new at rooting so bear with me please!
I've been trying to follow the instructions to boot my phone into stock recovery in order to flash clockworkmod for the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G. One of the steps is to reboot the phone into "stock recovery" by holding the volume up and power buttons at the same time. My phone will simply continuously restart itself while the power button is held. There is no screen that appears where I can click the button for updating my sd card to install the clockworkmod software, though this is what all the forums are telling me to do in order to boot into stock recovery. I've tried several times, and my phone always just restarts as if I'm not trying to do anything fancy, just goes right to my main screen with no changes. Help please?

I believe the problem your having is that your holding the power button too long. You only need to hold the volume up and power buttons until you see tiny blue or other tiny text in the upper left hand corner of the screen saying the phone is entering recovery mode. This should take you into the stock recovery. Let me know if you still have questions .

Yeah I gave it a shot. When the phone restarts, the first thing on the screen is the Exhibit 4G logo, there's never any tiny text in a corner or anything like that :/
Even if I only hold the buttons briefly, the phone either turns all the way on to my main screen, or doesn't turn on at all if I don't hold the buttons long enough. I really wanna get into ROMing after seeing how great rooted phone apps were. I'm not sure what's blocking my phone from getting into the stock recovery.

Yes since Macs use OSX which is based on Unix it should work. Just make sure you follow this guide to setting up ADB and fastboot on Mac if you haven't done so already http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237.

So I need help again... I downloaded the file "cwm.6012.t679.zip" and dropped it on my sd card. When I booted the phone into stock recovery, I tried to apply that update so I would have clockworkmod recovery. Keeps saying signature verification failed. Any other suggestions?

If you can post the link to the guide your using I can try and take a look. Also try removing the extra periods from the file name so instead of "cwm.6012.t679.zip" try "cwm6012t679.zip".

I found some posts in the forums on my phone's model number. (SGH T759) Further research indicates there may be no clockworkmod recovery available for this device. A combination of various root apps have made this phone a powerhorse, so it's a shame there were no further developments for this phone in particular. I appreciate your effort to aid my case.

Has the phone been stock right along? Or has it ever been flashed with custom firmware? I suppose one of the updates, maybe even the latest one, could have installed a different secondary bootloader, which is where the button configurations are stored. But anyway, the odd button configuration is most likely why Phalanx7621 asked if you have the I777.
I don't have a clue why the power button won't select items in 3e recovery. Have you had any problems with the power button otherwise? Power button failure is not too uncommon with this phone. Usually it doesn't fail catastrophically, but little by little. Of course, there can be other explanations.

Guys what would you suggest me ? I have no clue i called ATT they tried to help me and Samsung SUPPORT, they said i need to reflash it?
You need to flash the phone back to stock. Go to this thread and follow the instructions, except instead of using the download link in item 2a or 2b, which is 2.3.4 Gingerbread, go to the download repository and use the download link for 4.0.3 ICS stock, which is in the last section at the bottom of the post.

[Q] HELP! I think i hard bricked my S4

Anyone's help would be FANTASTIC!
I downloaded and installed LiquidSmooth 2.6.5 on 06/15/13 wiped everything necessary, went to reboot and it said i wasnt rooted would i like to install SuperSU, i installed it and it rebooted to a black screen and wont go any further. all it does is vibrate every couple of seconds. Is there ANYTHING i can do to get back into TWRP recovery? stock recovery? flash the stock image with Odin? it wont boot into TWRP, or download mode.
Please help, might have bricked my hard earned Verizon S4
Hi,
I've recently just installed the TeamWin Recovery Project.
my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 has been rooted, and I even checked with some application on the Google Play market, and it has indicated that it indeed was rooted.
But I still kept on getting the annoying "some application need attention blah blah blah..." in the notification bar, and when I click it it gave me options reboot now or reboot later.
Of course I clicked "reboot now" and after a while, I messed up on my cyananogen mod I guess and I recovered using TWRP through a back up that I have already made prior to flashing the CM 10.1. And it was working normally.
Then I some how went to the TWRP again and it said that my phone wasn't rooted any longer! So I swiped the "root the device now" knob thing and ever since then it has been stuck in the "samsung" screen with the unlocked labeled as "custom" underneath.
Even if I try to do Volume Up + Power + Home button it doesn't send me back to the TWRP screen, rather I see the indication that TWRP has been initiated, but it just crashes and turns my phone off.
When I do Volume down + Power + Home button I can get to the Download mode, but it doesn't seem like my computer can recognize the device.
After the Download page and I push the Volume Up button for the actual download mode on the top left it says
Odin Mode
Product name: SCH-I545
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
CSB-OEM_Config-LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: Enable"

And when I do get to this point my computer does recognize the phone and I know this by hearing the usb connection sound that a computer makes.
How do I get my phone back to factory state so that I can maybe once again trying rooting it again?
Thanks in advance.
and I apologize for so much information even if the rules say that I should be brief as possible, but it felt like the details were needed. (correct me if I'm wrong).

I downloaded and installed LiquidSmooth 2.6.5 on 06/15/13 wiped everything necessary, went to reboot and it said i wasnt rooted would i like to install SuperSU, i installed it and it rebooted to a black screen and wont go any further. all it does is vibrate every couple of seconds. Is there ANYTHING i can do to get back into TWRP recovery? stock recovery? flash the stock image with Odin? it wont boot into TWRP, or download mode.

Hi,
I've recently just installed the TeamWin Recovery Project.
my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 has been rooted, and I even checked with some application on the Google Play market, and it has indicated that it indeed was rooted.
But I still kept on getting the annoying "some application need attention blah blah blah..." in the notification bar, and when I click it it gave me options reboot now or reboot later.
Of course I clicked "reboot now" and after a while, I messed up on my cyananogen mod I guess and I recovered using TWRP through a back up that I have already made prior to flashing the CM 10.1. And it was working normally.

I'm having the exact same issue. Just rooted today and then using CWM I formatted and installed liquidsmooth. After rebooting it just vibrates. I tried going into Odin by pressing volume down+up+home+power and it just vibrates. Have I ruined the phone?

I can't get into the download/odin screen. When I press power + home + volume down it just vibrates.
I don't understand how I could have hard-bricked the phone just by formatting.
Just before rebooting, CWM prompted me "saying root access might be lost" and I hit ignore.

Boot phone into ODIN mode (power off the phone, then press and hold Vol Down + Power then press Vol Up). I think you might have done it wrong.

Thanks DarkMenace. I was able to restore my phone. For some weird reason it refused to go in Odin mode if I didn't have a USB cable plugged in.
I used the stock image, just wondering if I'm still rooted?

If you use a Stock Image you lose root and have to do it gain.
What is the fix?

I have the same issue after flashing Liquid-JB-v2.5-OFFICIAL-d2vzw yesterday 6/19/13. Wiped everything, factory reset, hit reboot, it said my device appeared not to be rooted and asked if i would like to install SuperSU. I said yes to install it. When my device rebooted, I got a black screen and my phone won't go any further. It just vibrates, every 2 or 3 seconds. I can get it into download mode. I tried to flash the stock firmware back onto it but when it reboots after, it goes back to black screen and vibrate. Thanks.

Just curious on something.... Not trying to be a jerk. Why are you sending pm's instead of replying in the thread? If your pm is helping this person I'm sure it could help many people if it was in the thread. Unless your a Verizon employee with secret unbricking files or something

Responded to you via PM as to not start any issues here.
I am in a similar situation, I am able to get into Odin mode, though my model number is SCG-I545 if that makes a difference.
