Hey guys,
I have recently broken my incredible S screen and sent it to get fixed, when I got it back from my carrier (OPTUS) they reflashed their rom onto it and for some reason or another the volume up key doesn't press in.
Because of this I can't reinstall CWM to flash the roms I want.
I was wondering is it possible to flash a rom without using the up volume key?
NOTE: All I want to install is CM7.2 or ICS 4.04 Farewell edition.
Thank you all,
If you need to only flash a Rom, I would use 4ext. It's touch screen.
I need to reroot my phone and reinstall CWM - without the volume up key
have you uncheck fastboot?under power settings

You don't need to use volume keys to root your phone or gain superuser access. So once you do that boot into your phone as normal and download the 4ext app and install 4ext touch from within the app. When you go into bootloader you'll just have to press the volume down key to get to recovery.

Have you contacted optus about this issue? You should be getting your phone functional before modifying it.

Hi, guys,
the power button of my Nexus one was broken. I am thinking to root it and install customed ROM. it is currently running stock ROM, and it is unlocked.
I read a lot, but I still have a question: can I root it and install customed ROM without power button?
I asked, because i am not sure if i have to use power button to enter recovery, for example, to Boot into Amon_Ra's Recovery.
thanks
JD
I saw the application, Fix Broken Button. does it work well?
thanks,

If you're referring to the bootloader being unlock than you can use fastboot
to install a custom recovery I think.
You can boot into recovery via adb:
adb reboot recovery
thanks for the reply.
which ROM supports using trackball as power button?

CM7 has trackball wake and trackball unlock.
There is NO ROM that will power on the device with trackball.
Hello,
Today i flashed my incredible s, to the new android revolution HD, but i overlooked that and installed the desire hd rom. Now my recovery mode isn't working anymore to flash it back! Now i have downloaded the correct clockwork recovery file and renamed and updated it, but the phone still doesn"t go in recovery mode! how do i fix this?
thanks in advance!
Hmmm sounds like your current rom has a fastboot setting enabled which is not allowing you to go into your recovery but without being able to boot your phone up to disable it you might be bricked. I assume you are using the method of holding the volume down and power buttons together?
Take out the batter and put it in again, then try and hold power and vol -
Problem solved, downloaded the original rom, and then updated.
hello
I'm on CM 7.2 rom and my nexus one got the power button broken :-(
therefore I need to send it to htc assistance.
Which is the procedure to bring it to stock rom without root ?
Morevoer, since my bootloader is unlocked and I've heard that, beacuse of this, htc assistance in italy could not recognize my guarantee, is it possible to lock the bootloader again?
thanx for the replies

^^Ignore this, just booting while holding volume down button, it will take you straight into HBOOT.
hi everybody
I bought this phone and the home button not working
first i want somebody to tell if have a custom rom or is the original ICS (See attachment)
Second, how can i check the button, like before boot
victorlht88 said:
looks like its running on stock rom.
you can try flashing another rom via odin, i've faced the same issue before when i removed certain apks in custom roms before flashing.
else boot into recovery mode and see if your home button can function when you make the selections.

how can i boot on recovery?
the phone is not rooted
Stock Recovery !
The G-Note has a stock recovery function as well. Just turn off your phone and hold the volume-up + Home + Power to enter into recovery. if this is successful then your home button functionality is good.

if you talk about this (downloading mode) i can do it only with restart and volume down
with volume down, home button and power it's only power up my phone (normal function)
how can i root my phone if I'm not able to run in recovery mode?
only in download mode
is any tools like superoneclick for Samsung note?
thanks
nobody have a solution for this?
thanks

it might be a hardware fault go check up wid service centre.
I'm Pretty Sure Its A HardWare Fault Cause You Said you didn't flash any, rom or kernels Maybe you Could try flashing the stock rom with Odin again?

i didn't flash any but the item i bought it's second hand, in first post it's a picture with initial specs from phone. And the counter in download mode is around 16 and i only flashed 2 times
I'm back with my question:
it's any way to root my phone (with a custom rom already rooted) or anything else?
i can't restart my phone in recovery mode since y home button doesn't work
i want to root and after try to flash many rom's maybe it is not a hardware issue with home button
thanks

it always ask to use home button
thanks to everybody
It's a hardware issue. I'm gonna open a new thread for this
SOLVED- changed the home button cable (not so easy)
I have the t679 on tmobile and qm qttempting to get root/install cwm.
I do not have access to a pc qnd so am unable to get into stock recovery the 'easy' way.
I saw instructions on holding down the up volume button qnd power buttin, then releasing the power button after the first white samsung logo appears. i hqvr tried this many times to no avail.
I will not have access to a computer for the forseeable future. Does this mean i am stuck on stock 2.3.5 or is their actually a way to boot into stock recovery right from the phone?
Thanks !

I have a quick question about this. I have never done any of the holding buttons down while you reboot nonsense to get to recovery. If I hold in the power button I get a menu. I can shut down, restart, go into recovery or start the bootloader. I just select recovery and hit restart. It boots into TWRP. Am I missing something? It seems to have worked fine with my latest rom. Maybe this situation explains the trouble i was having loading AOIP.

Once in recovery factory reset and clear dalvik flash rom and gapps
I did that. Cleared everything twice and flashed the ROM. Did not flash gapps, as everything was buggy.
