hi everyone,
I want to install modaco desire rom my nexus one but my trackball is broken and not able to be repaired.How can i install rom without trackball. my english is bad sorry for that.
Best regards
I'm not an expert, but you can flash roms with the computer, you only need to conect the phne to the PC and start in fastboot, no use of the trackball. But i'm not sure how to flash roms with PC
Install a recovery that allows you to work with volume buttons and/or touch buttons instead of trackball. Try the latest CWM of 4EXT.
easy:
1) root your current rom (if not already rooted)
2) install rom manager from market or koush's webpage
3) download custom ROM to SD card using browser, USB, whatever
4) flash CWM recovery through rom manager
5) flash custom ROM through rom manager, rom manager will reboot to recovery and flash rom for you
thanks to all for help i install clockworkmod recovery v3.0.0.5 its open but i can't any processing just waiting. what can i do ?

Thnks for the reply dude .. Can I directly go to point G and H ? Does this phone has an unlocked bootloader ??

Yes you can go back to original stock ROM any time by flashing via Odin
Sent from galaxy ace running S3 beta 3.1 evolution
You can go directly to steps G and H after rooting. Step C is for flashing the stock firmware, thats our safety net, whenever things go wrong, we flash stock firmware via Odin and the device becomes brand new.
There is no bootloader issue here, you can directly install custom recovery and get flashing. Just stay away from the ROM Manager app, its incompatible with this phone.
Simple Guide for getting Cyanogenmod working
Hey
I got this phone a while ago and can share my experience on it with you.
first off: DON'T TOUCH ROM MANAGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!
I have seen too many people go down the bricking route to sit and watch another person go down that route...
Anyway, why dont you flash CM 7.2.0 cooper? Ive been using it for a month now and its great! Its the latest stable release, i didnt want to go any higher since I don't have the cash for a new phone, and have no use for a paperweight its quite simple really,
1: download cooper (i havent posted 10 yet so take away spaces) [get. cm / get / 2K8]
2: download CMW recovery (attached: couldnt find file I have online)
3: put the files in your sd root
4: boot into recovery (power+home)
5: install CMW recovery by clicking on (with home button) apply update from sd card and locate the zip file
6: reboot again into recovery (now CMW recovery)
6.1: (OPTIONAL, but recommended) make a full backup under backup and restore
7: Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and in advanced, wipe dalvik cache
8: install zip from sd, pick the cyanogenmod zip and apply. HAVE FUN
Just ask if there is anything I can help you with
NOTE TO SENIOR MEMBERS AND THE LIKE: I know there is an official thread on this but he made a post on being new to the phone and I'm trying to help...
Hello All,
I am on stock v4.1.2, flashed myself.
Now I want to move on to custom ROM.
My current stock ROM is rooted, and I have also unlocked my bootloader.
Now when I want to install custom ROM, I need to flash CWM, and when I do (tried v6.2.8 and v6.0.3.1), and install any ROM, my WiFi becomes unresponsive (failed to turn on). When I flash V20A back, everything turns normal.
I also gone through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180138&page=43, and install the unsecure boot image after installing CWM 6028, but this make my custom rom hang on startup (on bootload screen).
Kindly help me out.
I have search a lot in the P880 forum, and didn't find any help regarding to this problem.

i dont understand what the recovery has to do with the wifi. recovery is just an interface to easy install something, copy paste , edit , change permissions , etc , things we do using adb commands. it is just an environment. its something else u are doing wrong there.
<EDIT> yea i saw the thread on your link. others seem to have same problem but with the unsecure boot. why do u need unsecure boot if the bootloader is unlocked ? just install teamwin recovery or cwm recovery and the rom u want.

Well, I did. And it all went fine, and I am able to install various custom ROMs, and after I install custom ROM, my WiFi becomes unresponsive. I am completely at lost. I also tried MIUI v5 which is non-CM10.2 based, and it also showed the same issue.
Here are my steps to install a custom ROM.
- Currently I am on my V20A stock ROM.
- Root the stock ROM using the All-In-One-Toolkit v1.4.1
- Flush the CWM 6031 using ADB as
Code:
su
cat /mnt/sdcard/recovery.img > /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
sync
- After reboot, my device has the CWM.
- Copy custom ROM zip files to my device, and reboot to recovery
- Wipe out by data and cache
- Install ROM
thats it
And when I boot into the new custom ROM, my WiFi do not work.
Please help.

not exactly.
And here are my steps to install a custom ROM (if currently I am on my V20A stock ROM)
1. Root the stock ROM using the All-In-One-Toolkit v1.4.1
2. Unlock bootloader using All-In-One-Toolkit v1.4.1 or manually like this.
3. Flash the CWM 6.0.4.5 or 6.0.4.4 or TeamWin Recovery
4. Reboot the device in recovery.
5. Enter ADB sideload and install custom rom or using ADB bootloader or using ADB copy the rom in sd card and use install in recovery.

I did wipe the data and cache after installing the custom ROM. But the result is the same; No WiFi response.
However, I always copy my custom ROMs by mounting my phone through USB to my Win8 laptop, and then copy the ROM file through windows explorer. And then install the ROM from the CWN recovery. Thus do not use ADB for copying files, or installing custom ROM as mentioned above. If this is the main issue reason, then advice.
Also I haven't tried TWRP till yet. Will do now. Till then, what else I can do.
Thanks for the quick replies.
i dont know what else you may doing wrong then. one was the insecure boot which is useless since u have unlocked the bootloader and the other that u had flash older version of cwm recovery. maybe compatibility issue with that version of cwm rec ? test and see.
format system also, when installing a new rom, not just data, cache & dalvik

One piece of detail I missed to mentioned in my case previously was that, I unlocked my phone using the method mentioned in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263627 as I was unable to unlock using the official method.
After I unlock my bootloader, I have flashed V20A KDZ several times, and each time the SW Upd mode show me that my bootloader status is unlocked. Thus after first attempt of unlocking, I never came across need to unlocked my bootloader again as each time when I do the KDZ flash, I get the bootloader status as unlocked. And after each flash of KDZ, I was able to install CWM and custom ROMs, and boot into them successfully.
Is this something causing the issue?

Now, I have repeated using CWM 6.0.4.5 and TWRP, and no breakthrough .... Starting to lose hope ... Help !!!
sorry , personally i dont know what else u may doing wrong there . and no it doesnt matter which way u unlock the phone, but since u unlock it , it stays that way until u lock it.
at least stock rom is working fine ? if that works fine there, then just install only custom kernel, do your tweaks, install another launcher and then delete the default, etc. u can do any modification u like to the stock one to make it look and work the way u want it.

Does it help if I installed a custom kernel on my custom ROM (with WiFi issue). My understanding is that the WiFi driver is compiled inside the kernel. So changing the kernel might reduce the issue. What do you think? If yes, then kindly advice me on which kernel should I install on my till now custom ROM MIUI v5 http://en.miui.com/download-79.html.

a developer would never release a rom in public with wifi issues by default and since i have already tested all roms available before i end up to one, i can say that they all worked , but only had small bugs on homescreen. really i dont know what you are doing wrong and not even a teamviewer connection wouldnt help in this case. but on stock your phone works fine ? only in a custom rom u have this issue ?
<<EDIT>> did you also do a full format before going to another rom ? there is a choice in teamwin recovery ( dont know if its in cwm also ) to format data. careful i dont mean to wipe everything you see because you will remove the recovery too and u will have to flash it back. the format option deletes everything besides the recovery. if you dont format before you go to a totally different rom, then you maybe have issues. especially when going from stock to custom, differences are huge. you must format before flashing. and dont forget the gapps, if they are not inluded in rom. ( in your case miui there must have them inside, because i see its 256 mb+)

YES. When I flashed stock V20A, I never had issues with Wifi. Its when I install custom ROM, and any custom ROM.
So I suppose, either there is something wrong in my installing method, or in my stock ROM that won't allow WiFi to work on any custom ROM. But how much influential will be the stock ROM if it is being replaced by a custom ROM?
Well, I haven't formated before I install any custom ROM, as it was not instructed in the forums. But I will do that now, and let you know the results shortly.
Thanks again for the replies.

yea some informations are always missing from the instructions generally , but this is a developer forum , so it doesnt always include informations that are 100% well known to be done. So format and install again and tell me if its everything ok.

Can you direct me how to install a custom ROM using ADB? Since when I format my /data, all of my custom roms that I copied will get deleted. So the only remaining option is to copy them using ADB.

What?????
Why would wiping your /data folder on internal storage delete your custom ROMs? Surely you keep them on your external SD-Card?

you dont need to copy it . u can open adb sideload from recovery and on pc use command : adb sideload [path/filename of rom.zip]

So you are saying that, I copy them to external_sd, and then do the data format. Ok ... Will do and let you know.
BTW, I also found V20B. I will start with this stock rom instead of V20A. This might improves some thing.

AT LAST .... FIXED ...
I did two things, V20B, and format /system, /data before installing new ROM. So my steps were:
1) Flush V20B instead of V20A
2) After rooting, and installed CWM 6044 touch, copy custom ROM MIUI to external SDCARD
3) Reboot into recovery, and format /system, /data, and /cache partitions
4) Install custom ROM from external SDCARD
5) Wipe data and cache
6) Reboot into the new world
:good: formatting did the work sorry i didnt think of it earlier.
Hello friends,
I need urgent help !!!
Yesterday one of my very close friend gave me his Note to upgrade to JB (he was on ICS. LF4 if I remember correct)
So I did following :
1. Downloaded couple of Custom ROMs and PhilZ 6.26.6 on to his phone (External SD)
2. Tried to boot into Recovery and voila.....his HOME button is not working. Anyways I booted and adb reboot recovery
3. Then I flashed PhilZ and it flashed successfully. Since I couldn't boot into Recovery without Home button I did Reboot System.
4. Stuck in N7000 Blackscreen and adb shows Device Offline
What I am planning to do now
1. Put device to DOWNLOAD mode through USB JIG
2. Flash Stock JB (Here's 2nd problem - download links are not working for Stock JB at least not Indian one Can somebody with fast internet plz upload it on dev host or Mediafire and share with us. Thanks !!! )
3. Reboot into Recovery and flash PhilZ
4. Flash Custom ROM
Am I doing things right? Is my direction correct?
I would still prefer if I somehow could boot in current OS, put some Custom Recovery and flash Custom ROM. Saving Stock ROM flash path and ODIN.
Plz help and advise !!!!!
Thanks !!!
You installed a kernel that doesn't fit to ICS. So it's no suprise the system doesn't boot. Install an ICS kernel and at least the system should start again.
And after that: give it back to your friend and let him repair the home button first. Don't risk being the fool who ruined his device.
Update: just read again and saw that right now you don't get a connect with adb. So yes, it seems to be the only solution to install an stock rom with Odin. After that I still would give it back for repair.

Can you give me link for safe ICS kernel ? Will this work http://www.mediafire.com/download/32ik5mg6bgg8q1d/PhilZ-cwm6-XXLRK-XEU-3.99.tar.md5
I need to boot in the current OS once to take backup of EFS (I heard JB wiped off EFS of few).
Thanks for coming forward to help !!!
Yes this is an ICS kernel with Philz recovery. Should work and give you the chance to reboot into the OS.
And a backup of EFS is a very good idea (after a repair in Thailand I'm using a developer imei).
Good luck.
