Hey guys
I flashed CyanogenMod 10.2 and since today the power button isn't working. Means I can't lock the screen. Also the screen freezes one time a day and I have to take out the battery to use the phone again.
Is there any zip or apk to fix this or do I have to flash a new rom?

Power button could be a hardware issue. For freezes do a clean install, also see if clean install fixes your power button.

I couldn't start the phone if it was completly damaged or? I kinda think it's the software's fault.
What is a clean install?

go to recovery and wipe /system /data /cache /emmc and then reinstall CM10.2.
I'm flashing a new ROM, because also the Launcher doesn't work correctly seems that my ROM is unstable

OK you were right about the hardware damage. I can only go into the recovery mode if I shut down the phone before by taking out the battery. and the main problem: I can't select any actions at the recovery mode.

you can get the hardware issue fixed but if you still want to install rom, then flash philz kernel from download mode using the .tar file and then you would have touch enabled in recovery. from there you can install CM or OMNI. Omni has TWRP which is again touch based.
Edit: once you have flashed rom, lets say Omni, it has Sleep option in Quick Settings which you can use to lock your phone and always keep the option wake up by pressing home button.

I cant flash this it just wont work.
Its been a while since i last flashed a recovery but i disabled usb mount and enabled usb debugging i launched terminal emulator and typed
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img but it keeps saying it cant find it, i noticed when i used bluetooth file manager it says it mnt/sdcard so i tried that and its still the same, i even tried root toolbox pro and erased the recovery then flashed the new touch recovery and still it doesnt work i still have clockwork mod 5.2.0.
Wtf am i doing wrong this is doing my head in, it tells me the img file doesnt exist.
Are you sure you want touch CWM? You are aware of the cache-wiping bug right?
If you're not, touch CWM has a known bug when wiping cache. This bug somehow prevents CWM from rebuilding the cache after wiping it. Therfore you'll get force closes in many apps like Market.

I didnt know that, are they fixing it?
I don't know if they're fixing it, for now I think it's better to keep your current CWM version.

Hmmm... But with CWM 5.0.2.0, (from ROM Manager) you can also use the four touch-capacitive buttons to navigate through the menus. At least on my device...
The menu button: going down
The home button: going up
The back button: back (what a surprise... )
The search button: select

Other than to flash recovery I don't use rom manager and I uninstalled it when I found they charged to install touch recovery there are other apps that flash recovery for you so I'll use them now.

Keep the old one, touch recovery is too buggy for a daily use.

hi.. im currently using CM7 on my G1 and i tried to switch back to gingeryoshi. i've successfully install it but after i install it and reboot my phone. my phone always rebooting to recovery. what ive done wrong? i still have the RADIO-2.22.28.25 and hboot-1.33.0013d. how i can go back to yoshi ????
thanks in advance
strange, to get into recovery you must hold down the home key as you power on, this sounds as simple as a stuck home key. but thats unlikely if you have been using your phone without any issue until now (im assuming this)
what recovery do you have and what method did you take to get back to gingeryoshi

... or the phone boots to recovery due to an invalid / non existing boot image.
Edit: ... or the reboot to recovery flag is set in the misc partition and is not reset correctly.

i have ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7 and i use the common method.
wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition and then install the rom. at the 2nd attempt i wipe also the dalvik cache and at the 3rd attempt i use ohsaka-superwipe. but it all the same. after installing, it reboot to recovery. i don't know what the problem is. because i've already tried to install froyo by laszlo and even the AOSP 4.0.1 Alpha 2. but i get no problem going back to yoshi after trying those rom and i use the same recoverymod. and yeah i don't have any button problem at my phone. and here im using my phone again with CM7 because i can't go back to GingerYoshi. so i just install cm7 again. and i got no problem
it sounds like you are doing everything right. best guess is that you have a bad gingeryoshi update.zip - try going to the thread and downloading again gingeryoshi, then reinstall this to your phone.

Hi, dont call me a lazy person for not searching, because i did and didnt find, but can anybody tell me a hotkey combination to enter recovery, the latest-non touch version? I have currently no ROM installed i wanted to install a nightly upgrade but after a wipe an error occured and the phone rebooted into bootlooping. Thanks in advance.

So you had cm10 installed? If yes push power + volume down and hold it. Otherwise use smartflash to unbrick. Only kernel 3.0.8 includes this reboot to recovery option. Older ones dont have it...
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app
thats the problem i had CM10 installed but does it have anybody to do with it since i wiped my phone? im trying the power+volume down method but doesnt seem to work...downloading smartflash
just for sure do I press them simultaneously or one by one?
thanks for the quick answer by the way :good:
Plug in your charger and when you come to the charging screen hold vol- and power. (or maby on lg logo works to)
If you can't come to the charging screen use smartflashtool.
ok i seem to have a problem here. i use smartflashtool and everything works ok i enter recovery and install supeuser but my phone keeps looping, any idea?

Hi,
I downloaded a JB 4.2.2 CyanogenMod ROM from the original development's thread. I tried a couple of similar ROMs previously, but my home button doesn't work correctly on apparently any Ice Cream Sandwich + ROM. Essentially what happens is, when the screen is on, the home button is completely useless. Pressing it down, waiting for a few seconds - it just doesn't respond to any command. There are almost no options in the phone related to hardware buttons, and if I, for example, select an option to make holding down the hme button bring up the multitasking window, it still doesn't do anything. The only situation where I observed it doing anything is when the phone's screen is off - pressing the button instantly wakes the device up. I tried flashing the badass kernel, though it didn't really do much. Other hardware buttons seem to be working just fine. I had no such problem on CyanogenMod 7.2 and when I restore a backup with this system, it still works correctly. I don't have problems with getting into recovery either.
Another thing with this ROM is, the lockscreen doesn't appear, no matter if I set a security pattern, set it to slide or whatever else. Pressing the wake button or home button instantly wakes the device up.
I'm not sure whether it's a ROM-specific problem or what, but regardless, as a new user, this is the only forum I can post this problem to. If anyone knows a solution or if such a problem was solved previously, I'd be happy to learn the fix.

Yes. Wipe data, reflash, wait until boot, then go to recovery and then flash gapps.

Edit: Home button does not wake up when it is in deep sleep. So, it is useless. I am sorry We need another fix.
Whenever I boot into Clockworkmod Recovery, it wants to install a package. Clicking on Yes, No or Go back tells me 'install aborted' and reboots the phone making it inpossible to backup, install new roms ect. It also happens with ROM Manager.
The only way I can get around this is with CM Updater, which lets me update the phone no problem.
My Phone is running Cm10.1-20130725-NIGHTLY with Stock Kernel
Is there a way to fix this without having to go to Odin and reflash my phone from the beginning?
(sorry if its in the wrong section)
Edit: Fixed, ROM Manager was the reason it happened and I was using the wrong button conbination. I should have done more research
What combination do you use? the download-mod???
