Looking to port cwm to a new tablet (ideapad k1) i have compiled the cwm to the tablet and have successfully booted into recovery. However, there is no way to select an item from the menu. none of the buttons mapped to select. How can i manually change this? I have tried compiling with the has-no-select feature, but doing so inhibits my ability to bring the menu up at all.
(has-no-select changes the power button to select, but in order to get into cwm i must press the power key to access the menu. With the button changed, i cannot access the menu at all)
The ideapad has a "home" button that i would like to remap to select for the cwm. if someone could point me in the right direction i would be very appreciative. Thanks
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

You've stumbled into a bar on the wrong side of town, mi amigo!
Seriously, before you go trying to actually use any of these menus, you will want to read this post in its entirety:

That being said, here are some notes on how this works on the Atrix 4G.
Fastboot menu
- Power on phone
- Press and hold Volume Down key as soon as green power light goes out
- Wait until "Fastboot" appears on Motorola splash screen
- Press Volume Down key to cycle through menu items
- Press Volume Up key to select item
The three most important items in the Fastboot menu for Moto modding are Android Recovery, Fastboot, and RSD:
Android Recovery
- Enter Fastboot main menu and select "Android Recovery"
- Wait until Exclamation mark and Android icons appear on screen
- Tap lower right-hand corner of screen to open system recovery menu (for newer firmware versions, press the Volume Up/Down keys simultaneously)
- Press Volume Up or Volume Down keys or tap menu to select item
- Rotate phone to LANDSCAPE orientation and tap lower corner of screen near "OK" to accept selected item (or press the Volume Up/Down keys simultaneously)
Fastboot protocol support
- Power on phone
- Enter Fastboot main menu (as previously explained) and select "Fastboot"
- Wait until "Starting Fastboot protocol support" appears on screen
RSD protocol support
- Power on phone
- Press and hold Volume Up key as soon as green power light goes out
- Wait until "Starting RSD protocol support" appears on screen
- OR -
- Enter Fastboot main menu (as previously explained) and select "RSD"
Android Recovery is a GUI interface for wiping the phone/restoring to factory defaults and applying firmware updates. Recovery packages consist of a zip file containing partition images and a script to tell the recovery program what to do with them. It's common practice to replace the stock recovery program with ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery. For the Atrix 4G you'll need to use a special version - Tenfar's CWM Recovery Mod for Atrix 4G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
Fastboot protocol requires a USB connection to a command terminal on a PC. Partition .img files are applied directly to the phone memory. You won't want to mess with this until you've read and understood the N00B Guide at the link posted above.
RSD protocol also requires a USB connection. Commands can be issued via a terminal window or a Windows GUI program called "RSD Lite". RSD uses SBF (Single Binary Format) image files instead of the partition image files used by Android Recovery and Fastboot. You also don't want to mess with this until you've thoroughly studied all the info in the N00B Guide.
When you feel you have a basic grasp of how this all works, then here's the easiest method for unlocking your Atrix 4G:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
This all-in-one program will automatically unlock your phone, install Tenfar's CWM recovery, and install su for root access. You won't need to install ADB or RSD Lite or anything else on your PC except for the Motorola USB drivers. I used this one myself after lurking and reading here for about a month. Worked like a charm for me.
Good Luck!
Updating the thread to say... at this point the recommended Atrix recovery is romracer's version, posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1204500
romracer is actively maintaining this version, and it correctly handles backups and restores to/from both the internal storage and the external SD card.
After you run mramirezusa's unlock/recovery/root script (see link in previous post), you can use Tenfar's recovery to install romracer's recovery.
Just noticed that the OP appears to be posting from Brazil... (but then again, I'm not really posting from Antarctica...)
OP, if you don't have an AT&T phone then mramirezusa's script is not for you. Sorry for the confusion...
As soon as I turn on my Galaxy S II on it boots directly into recovery. WOrst of all the power button. CWM won't let me choose reboot or anything when I press the power button. HELPP!!!
So can we get a little info as to what you were doing before this happened, such as were you rooting/flashing a rom?
Also the power button is of no use in CWM, use the home button to select items
And finally this is in the wrong thread!
Softkeys

Here you go, this is the best solution to your problem:
CWM Recovery Menu buttons layout.
Home Softkey = Selects
Back Softkey = Go Back
Vol+/Vol- = scroll up and down
Good luck!
Power button is now for BACK
use Home to select
When /system does not contain a working ROM, the phone boots to recovery. Just adb push a rom to internal SD and flash it.
Not development...
Hi, I installed new rom ([JB] [P4--P4WIFI--P4VZW] 4.1.2 AOKP), but i didnt canceled the security of lockscreen with PIN. After install old PIN doesnt work and i dont have access to my tablet. Version of my recovery is: Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) - 2.3.1.1.
holding power and volum down button redirect me to download menu
holding power and volume up button just reset tablet
what i must do now?
pls any ideas how to get to recovery menu?
It doesn't make sense that you wouldn't be able to access recovery on a hard reset unless you're using the wrong key combination.
Hold Power and Volume down which is right next to power, and keep holding them until you see the Galaxy tab logo. Then let go of Power ONLY and keep holding volume down. That should result in two options...recovery on the left, and download on the right. Let go of volume down as soon as you see the two icons, then press volume down once to select recovery, then volume up to select it.
Good luck!

txh, everything is now ok, i was wrong with second step after restarting ...
thx again
I have a xt912 and the menu key has stopped working... I was wondering if there was a way to change the key that allows you to get into the ss recovery (menu key) to like the home key rather then the menu... Thank you kindly for your time...
My little bro drawn the unlock pattern one too many and now its locked with too many pattern attempts.
Unfortunately my mobile data was in OFF mode. So, couldn't connect using google account.
Tried to Factory Reset, with possible Select keys for Wipe Data/FactoryReset ::
1. Left and right touch keys simultaneously for some seconds (as listed in micromax website)
2. Left and Middle touch keys simultaneously for some seconds (seen in some threads)
3. Long press volume + key ( seen in some threads)
4. Or any other possible touch and keys combo...
doesn't work at all for my device.
SOS:: Any idea how to select the WipeData option in Recovery mode?
.
Downloaded Stocked ROM 4.2.1 and other needed drivers to Flash my device, listed in some threads in this site.
But device is not detected in SPFlash tool. How to make it detected?
Please Help *** Unfortunately there is no Micromax service center in my state ***

bro! u r doing it wrong here's the procedure....
Switch Off your phone.
Press and hold Power button together with ‘volume +’ and ‘volume –’ buttons on the side of phone until you get two options.
Now, press the ‘volume +’ button to enter into the recovery mode.
This will make a Android icon appears on screen, press power button.
This will get you the menu options, use the volume up and down button to choose the option.
To select the option, you needs to simultaneously press two touch sensitive buttons on the bottom of your device, left button which is for the Menu and right button which is for going into previous stage. You have to do this for about 3 seconds.
Choose the wipe data/factory reset then press the enter button (left button which is for the Menu and right button which is for going into previous stage). Now, phone will get switch off and brings to its initial stage.
press thanks if i helped u!
