I know this does not really belong to development but I figured most of the people who want to do the update will come here... Please move the thread if you deem fit, mods ^^.
Anyway, I can't confirm if the method works since I'm rooted myself, but have found the following:
Hi,
I have found out a way to update the Nexus One to the new OTA that Google is pushing through, the one including multi-touch everywhere.
Go to the URL below:
http://www.mediafire.com/?rgnjl4hqmmi
and download.
Then save on to your sd card, not in any folders, and rename it update.zip (windows users just rename it update, .zip will come by itself)
1) Turn off your phone.
2) Turn on by holding down Power and the Trackball
3)Select Bootloader (Selection instructions on the top of screen)
4)Select recovery
5)An Android-Bot will come standing next to an open box
6)Press down Power and Volume Up
7)Select apply update.zip
8) Enjoy!

Hope it helps.
I can confirm this method works for non root users. The MT is awesome, to say the least.
When I select recovery it shows a picture of an android next to a triangle with an exclamation point in it. I renamed the file and put it in the sd card, what am i doing wrong?

Did you try pressing power and vol up at this stage? #5 isn't really a step, it just happens. I figured this was a given, but I guess not.

Ya I had assumed that after selecting recovery the android should be next to a box but i did vol up and power down. It is working so far!
I've downloaded the file twice and I'm getting a caution icon with the android-bot. Any ideas as to what could be wrong?
I've also use two different sdcards.
Thanks for any assistance.

I got the same thing...while at that screen, just did the volume up and power button and it gave me the option to install it.
hi Unicellular,
can you be more specific, i have also the same problem, and could not see any bot near a box, after selecting recovery first colored cross is seen then a bot with a triangle comes up.
Does this use the new kernel?

Thanks!! It worked.
I think I had the caution icon because of the following.
E:Can't open /cashe/recovery/command
System is back up with multi-touch goodness.
what do you mean?
"The one including multitouch everywhere??"
the multitouch for me only works in the browser maps and the gallery
is there on that includes a multitouch everywhere??
lazoman. I was at the screen with the caution and android-bot too.
It's not really a quick press of "Vol. Up + power button" I kinda just spammed both buttons until it worked.

This update took away the haptic feedback when I press the little dots in the main screen to go 'left' or 'right'. Anyone know how to get it back again?
Does this update also apply the new radio update?
Does this method void the warranty or violate the TOS?
What about rooted devices ?
Why can`t i use this update if my phone is rooted ?

Hey guys! I hope you can help me D:
My Galaxy S:
CM7 latest update #57 or so
Kernel: glitch v11 (also doesnt work with standard kernel)
Since today my homebutton isnt working correctly. It only works for getting into recovery and into download mode.
If i press it in the keytest in cwm recovery it isnt recognized, same when the phone is booted :-S
I reflashed the update with deleting the cache but that doesnt work D-:
Have you guys any idea? :-/
Thanks

No it doesnt.....
Should i send it to samsung? :-/

I'm sorry, but I think that's your only choice.. To me, it seems like a hardware-related malfunction..
Hmmm yes i think youre right.
I just tried to get into recovery only with volume up + turn on button... thats working
"
I will flash samsung original firmware, maybe it works ^^

If it does: great!
If it doesn't: RMA must be the way..
you have to send your phone to Samsung services it'll be best solution i think.
Dudeeee, what on earth man? RMA should only be treated as a last resort. Don't give up so easily. He hasn't even tried flashing back to stock roms.
He already said it works for getting into recovery and download mode, which indicates it's working to some degree.
OP, flash that stock firmware and tell us what happens.

If you read my post correctly, you'll notice that I've suggested to flash the stock-firmware _before_ sending it as a RMA to Samsung..

Again, read his post correctly - he was pressing "Volume Up" + "Power On" and did _not_ mention any press on the Home-button..

So how do you think he has access to recovery???.......He mentionned he was able to go into recovery mode,basically,the home button works.
I'm pretty sure it's a software related problem.
Go with the stock rom first and tell us the result.
Nope.
Im on stock rom now..
The home button is not working
I got into Download mode with Volume down and Turn-on-button
I havent touched the home button at all
Dont know why thats working ^^...
Tommorow im bringin it to the Shop for RMA
OR do you have some Ideas
It is as though your home button is stuck to "on".
I fear that the next step is to rma.

I'll help you out: at first, you paint me as a fool, because you're too blind to read my post correctly.
Just one post later, you suggest what I was suggesting since my first (or second, can't remember right now) post.
Result: read first, think second, think again, _then_ - and only then - post, but stay polite at _any_ time!
Had the exact same issue with the button working for booting into recovery and download mode.
Sorry to say this is hardware related and I hope your rma is accepted.
I took mine to the repair centre and they told be it is water damaged. I never dropped it in water though.
Also the home button is glued to the whole freaking screen. The samsung part comes as the whole lcd assembly with the buttons with it so I was quoted 245 dollars.
You can buy the button online but I digest you to have a look on YouTube for the dude that disassemble the phone. You will see how hard it is
By the way, my button stopped working for recovery as well although now of o press hard on it it does work (for booting and in the OS).
last but not least, you will learn how to use the phone without the home button
Good luck with the rma

Hi Guys! Just bought a phone from a friend and everything is working as it should (I was told about the volume down button being broken) , but I did not think that would bother me much.. Except.. The phone boots in safe mode, AT ALL TIMES, making me unable to install new apps and such, and that does bother me.. ALOT. So my question is.. Is the any way to remove either the safe mode function alltogether, or just disable the volume down key in any way? I know its broken, but I really dont need the volume down function, I just need it to not be in my way.
And I would like to do this at home, not sending it away for 4 weeks and then get it back, probably without the problem even beeing fixed, dont have much faith in the so called "pros"..
Thanks!
no way,i think.because it's a factory-configured default way to boot in safe mode with vol. down key
try to repair your phone

I saw someone on a swedish forum that had disabled some vol.tkr or vol.mngr or something like that, but I dont know how to do that and he just wrote that he had found the solution on some forum in english.. There should be a way since phones are more like small computers nowadays.. Just dont know how :-/

EDIT: That might work only at run-time sadly. If you want it to work right from boot, then I am afraid we need to make changes to the kernel. I can modify the kernel for you if you are ready to unlock your bootloader.

Hi! I understood nothing of that Do I download and install the app? The problem is that I cant install anything new, since the phone is in safe mode :/
How do I unlock my bootloader and can I lock it again afterwards?
Hi,
So i thought i knew what i was doing and tried to root my 6gb Alpha but apparently i didn't know what i was doing and now i'm stuck in a bootloop with the phone complaining it is in redstate and insecure. I have tried the stock recovery and both cleared cache and factory reset and still nothing. The phone isn't rooted(obviously) anyone one with more knowledge on this have any ideas? I'm about to tear my hair out.
Would advise you flash the old stock ROM. You can find instruction on how to do that in one of many threads in Maze Alpha section of this forum.
Thanks, I tried that with flashtool,now when the phone powers on the backlight comes on and that's it oh I can adjust the volume and it clicks as if the phone is locking when I hit the power button but that's it no images on screen.

Sure you flashed the 6GB rom and not the 4GB one?
Maybe try it again and check if there are no errors visible during the flash.
Just found this on the Gearbest blog, which is worth trying first if you flashed the correct rom : https://www.gearbest.com/blog/how-to/solutions-to-maze-alpha-4g-phablet-problems-2018
If the problem still exists, try resetting your phone in the following steps (Note: back up all your important data on the phone, or the data will be wiped after the factory reset):
a. Power off your phone. Then press the Volume up key and Power key at the same time until it navigates to Recovery Mode.
b. Use Volume up/down key to select "Wipe data/Factory reset".
c. Use Power key to confirm.
d. Use Volume key to select "Yes - Delete Alluser".
e. Once the resetting is finished, your phone will reboot automatically. It will take a few minutes to recover. Please wait patiently.
Unfortunately I can't factory reset without a screen. I'll double check the Rom pretty sure it was the correct one, I think it may be a return and play dumb job.

So screen doesn't come on at all? Ouch. then I would double check the rom and try to flash again.
I was planning to root my 6GB this weekend but these stories are no good.

Please, can you post information on where you downloaded your ROM from and got the instruction? The ROM posted in this thread link below seems to be for Maze Alpha 6GB.

From the maze gdrive I couldn't get their app to work even following all of the instructions for some strange reason. When trying to root my phone I hit the bootloop then flashing the stock rom from the gdrive with flashtool got me the black screen issue.

Does it detect the phone.

Hi how are things.
do you have root?
Magisk?
if you have magisk, from there you can start.
No root, obviously, otherwise there is a ton of apps for booting in recovery.

I understand that the equipment must be turned off.
1.connect usb cable to pc.
2.connect cable to s20 fe.
(wait for the battery percentage to appear.
3. press volume + and power at the same time (it will turn off after 2 seconds, keep pressing, until the s20 logo appears
4. done.
Thank you, worked like a charm. This is new, I mean, the connection to the PC. Thanks again.

if your team is business, it will not work.
There are variants that are blocked by companies.
If that's your case, you can't this way.
Several teams have already passed with that detail.

There are teams that your work gives you. (companies, corporations, etc.)
They send to ask for the equipment with Samsung, they block the access to recovery and download.
In my repair shop, Samsung equipment arrives with that block.
In your case, you say that it is not business, I don't know what causes your problem.

I put the cable into the PC, halfway plug the cable into the phone while it's turned off. then I start holding volume up plus power for recovery and then push the cable all the way into the phone immediately after.
Ok. Thank you both for the help. I'll try this method as well.
Found out why the recovery mode didn't want to turn on. The cable was just for charging :/ Plugged in another one and it worked like a charm. Thanks for all the help guys.
I just joined. I can not see where I start a new thread to ask a question.
Can someone direct me?
BTW - My problem is I installed Fire Toolbox, It ran once and now only open a gray box on the sceen and freezes. Rebooted , uninstalled - reinstalled, tried diff versions...?
