General :: Can't Access Recovery Menu (black Screen)

Jan 18, 2014

I recently bought a Chinese Mediatek 'pbablet' phone/tablet combination; running Android 4.2.2 Model: MTK6572. Due to it being cheap, it was ideal so I thought, for flashing and development, however I maybe wrong.

However I cannot get it into recovery mode. It won't display the menu when holding down volume + and the power button when powering on.

When pressing these two buttons together on start-up, it actually remains a black screen, and it won't turn on after doing this, and I have to keep pressing the tiny reset button on the side of this device every time I attempt to enter recovery, to get it to turn on as normal again.

Pressing and holding volume - and power at the same time on start-up brings up "Factory mode" (in Chinese) and has no options available for flashing/ROM/ functions, except 'testing' the devices' hardware. This phone doesn't have any other physical buttons except power, volume + and -

I am able to successfully enter CWR by flashing it with MTKDroidTools and rebooting into the recovery mode (while powered up and in the android OS) however I still cannot get into CWR or any recovery mode at all while powering up with power and volume +

I just want to be able to enter a recovery mode on this device, to ensure no future issues and doubts upon the unfortunate events of a permanent brick. My idea is to flash this phablet with ParanoidAndroid; or cyanogenmod, and I could try doing this with a software reset, but then what if the ROM is incompatible, and totally bricks it? Then I have no way in hell to revive and reflash, because I can't access the recovery mode anyway.

I have came to the conclusion that it maybe due to the filesystem, potentially due to it's fbifs, that is the cause to no recovery mode, but what if it's ext4, does any of this make a difference.

Is there any way to make this device open the recovery menu while powering it on?

When I attempt to enter recovery mode while powering up with volume +, the device is basically a brick, until I press reset. It doesn't respond at all. The only way to enter recovery menu is by booting into android resetting the device into recovery mode via an app.

Sprint HTC Hero : Can't Get To Recovery Menu

Sep 15, 2010

I have a Sprint Hero CDMA which is like half-rooted?

It was not rooted, was running on the Sprint 2.1 update. I dropped it back down to .5, got through the rooting aspect, have SuperUser in my app tray, but now it won't let me boot into the recovery menu!

Every time I try, it just pops up a black screen with a phone on it and a big red Caution symbol over it...

Any ideas how to fix this so I can finish rooting my phone or even use the recovery menu options?

well I successfully have my phone rooted and was finally going to get around to installing a new ROM on my phone today. However when I tried to make a nandroid backup my phone wouldn't start up into the recovery thing to let me make a backup, instead it would just sit at the white and green HTC page indefinitely until I would pull the battery at. Any ideas on how to fix this?

HTC Incredible :: On Call - Screen Turns Off When - Waving My Finger - Near The Notification Bar

May 12, 2010

Anyone else notice when you're on a phone call if you move your finger near the little dot to the left of the verizon logo the screen will turn off? It's annoying when multitasking because that functionality remains regardless of whether the phone call is the active screen or not. If you are watching the Google Navigation screen and you're on a call, move your finger near the little dot next to the verizon logo and the screen turns off.

Android :: How To Access An Activites Menu Programatically

I'm writing unit tests in a class derived from ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2. I know I can access anything defined in the applications XML using findViewById(), but this application defines its Menu programmatically. I'm trying to access that menu so I can fire click() events to it in my tests the same way I'm doing with Button Views etc.

To illustrate, this works fine and shows I can control/test various Views:

Android : 1024x600 Emulator / No Access To 'menu' - Other Buttons?

Sep 2, 2010

We are building an app for a device that will have a 1024x600 screen at API level 7, 160dpi (which, by the way, is going to be very popular very shortly with the Samsung Tab and other tablets coming on the market). When we start the emulator, the touch surface takes up the entire window, and we no longer see the emulator keyboard, hard buttons, or (most importantly) the menu button on the right. The emulator's window does not scale, so it is not simply a matter of making the emulator window larger, unfortunately.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get these very important buttons to appear in the emulator?

HTC Desire :: Flashing ROMs / New Recovery Menu

Sep 22, 2010

I'm currently running Froyo after running the RUU: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.
32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
as per teppic74's thread over here: Froyo RUU update available

My desire has HBOOT 083 - which I know can be problematic when flashing. My question is:
Is the unrEVOked v3.21 method of getting the new recovery menu the best/easiest/most reliable way to enable me to flash new roms on my phone? Are there any caveats? Anything I should be aware of beforehand? According to teppic74's thread, this version of Froyo cannot be rooted at the moment, which I'm not bothered about anyway. But, it would be nice to try some of those lovely new roms.

HTC Desire : Unable To Enter Recovery Menu

Sep 21, 2010

I tried installing OpenDesire 4 on my rooted Desire earlier, which didn't work. I ended up seeing the flashing Android logo on a black screen when trying to boot and can't get past it.

So, as I have a nandroid backup, I figured I could use that to recover. BUT, when I hold the volume down button and boot the phone, it just goes to the HBOOT screen. I cannot get into the recovery menu. If I select recovery from HBOOT, it just goes to a black screen.

I have tried reflashing using unrEVOked3 and the recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd image, but it didn't fix this problem.

Motorola Milestone : G.O.T Recovery Menu - App2sd Works

Aug 17, 2010

I rooted my milestone yet with G.O.T recovery menu, my first question is how this app2sd works? I read somewhere I shouldn't install busybox. (but I installed it) in open recovery menu I have 5 options to choose:

1- split SDCard (will erase all your data on SDCard)

2-Install App2SD

3-Install Boothack Only

4-Install App2SD (symlink edition)

5-Install Boothack Only (symlink edition) "
which one I have to install, or I have to install all of them...

My next question is, as soon as I rooted my milestone successfully I took a nandroid backup from all my phone with the same open recovery menu, but now when I needed to restore my system, it restore only OS files & I don't have my own Launcher & apps to use, can anyone help what should I do?
I also have another old nandroid backup which I took it with my computer, which is (I think) making backup with old nandroid (backup from unrooted system)

No Standard Menu Button In 3.0+ / How To Get Access To It

Oct 12, 2012

I made my app compatible with both pre and post 3.0. Before 3.0 most phones had menu buttons which led to settings or other menu options. Since 3.0+ the dev guide has depreciated the menu button so phones don't need it. ICS and JB don't use them.

So how do I let users access it? In Gingerbread a user can press the menu button and then select the "Settings" link. Everyone knows what I mean but I feel I need to explain it: here's the dev guide anyway.

So if one of my users is on a 3.0+ device how can I let them get access to the settings page? I don't want to use the Action Bar like the dev guide suggests. That's a huge UI change just for one settings page.

I mean it's just one page and changing my UI to add a settings imageview would change the overall layout of main.xml which at the moment is just how i want it.
