[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knaphih:
I've got a nexus one with a broken power button and a corrupt OS. It rarely successfully manages to boot. Since this is the case, I'm not able to turn on USB debugging to follow some of the tutorials here..

My next try was fastboot.. I downloaded these two files:

recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img

update-cm-7.1.0-N1-signed.zip

But it seems like I wont be able to flash a recovery file if I have "s-on" displayed on my hboot or fastboot screen..

How do I gain "s-off"? And is it possible to flash a stock rom via fastboot?

And yes, my phone's got stock gingerbread 2.3.4 rom.

HBOOT 0.35.0017

MICROP 0b15

Touch panel SYNT0103

Radio 5.08.00.04

Please help me with this matter as I have been trying to accomplish this task for over three months now.. :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Read Nexus One wiki, section "root", and section "recovery".

You don't need S-OFF to flash anything, if you unlock your bootloader. This is Nexus.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troby86:
Boot into fastboot, plug into your PC, open command prompt wherever you have the fastboot command in Windows, most likely in android sdk under platform-tools, run "fastboot oem unlock" from command prompt, your bootloader is now unlocked. Attempt to flash your recovery now."
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knaphih:
My phone's power button is broken so I'm not able to select the recovery option :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knaphih:
It's already unlocked, as there is a small open lock displayed at the bottom of the boot screen.. and fastboot displayed it as already unlocked as well.. still.. i need a way to go to recovery without the power button
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If you're in the bootloader - "fastboot reboot recovery".

If you're in the OS or while the OS is booting and ADB daemon is already running - "adb reboot recovery".
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knaphih:
fastboot reboot recovery doesnt seem to boot the phone to recovery..

should the OS be completely booted up if I want to use the adb command? because it displays the error "error: device not found" when I try to "adb reboot recovery"

Might this be a problem with my computer? I checked and confirmed that the drivers for the phone are successfully installed...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troby86:
Do you have the fastboot command on your computer?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knaphih:
Yes, I can fastboot works ok because I can flash recovery image and reboot phone through fastboot. But since my power button is broken, I need to reboot to recovery through the computer...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troby86:
First try: "adb reboot recovery" or "fastboot reboot-recovery"

If that doesn't work, give this a good read to see if it will help you:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Fastboot

If you are able to flash the recovery via fastboot, then I see no reason why you should not be able to reboot into recovery via fastboot or adb.

OR

http://www.yamihoshi.nl/tech/tutorial-google-nexus-one-power-button-soft-fix

Both are the same, the second one is easier to follow.

OR

Put your recovery .img file into the same folder as your fastboot command, and run this: "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-passion.img"

^^^^^USE YOUR RECOVERY NAME...NOT THE EXACT ONE ABOVE^^^^^

I've attached an image showing proof that I've tried your method but still kept on failing to reboot to recovery..

When i try the command "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img", the phone simply restarts and goes back to the 'X' boot screen and gets stuck there.

Could anyone please find me an genuine unedited gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM so I can PASSIMG it? ... I've downloaded several rooted ones.. but all seem to need the "android-info" file
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
fastboot reboot recovery

No "reboot-recovery".

And if you still get stuck on "X" when you reboot to recovery - it means that your recovery is corrupted/unusable too, and you need to PASSIMG everything.

Generally, booting the recovery through "fastboot boot" should have done enough - if your phone can't boot, it might probably be a HW problem preventing it from booting, and in that case - nothing will help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knaphih:
I've attached an image trying out "fastboot reboot recovery" fastboot doesnt even seem to send that command to the phone..

Could anyone please provide me with a genuine stock gingerbread 2.3.4 or higher PASSIMG file? i've searched a lot but all i see are modded or rooted ones. :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Yes, you're right. Fastboot can't reboot to recovery, only adb.

Oh well, in that case you're out of luck. You can't PASSIMG without power button, so if "fastboot boot some_boot_image" doesn't help - there's not much left to do.

You could always disassemble the phone and fix the power button...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troby86:
Here's the 2.3.6 PASSIMG zip file link. Follow the directions. If you can get into BootLoader, your phone should automatically boot this if you have it named to PASSIMG.zip, and on the ROOT of your SD card:

Yes troby86 it works.. but after successfully completing the PASSIMG process and reboot, my phone gets stuck in the 'X' screen.

My phone is acting really weird. Maybe it's a hardware problem.. but I'll just download the file again and give it a try (just to rule out the possibility of it being a corrupt file).. My ISP has limited my bandwidth as i have exceeded the download limit.. anyways.. i'l see you guys when I'm done with this... :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troby86:
Ok, before you reflash the PASSIMG, ensure your phone is charged more than 50%. After flashing the PASSIMG, it could take 10-15 minutes for the first boot, I've even seen it take up to 20, so just let it sit for awhile without touching it. THEN, if it's still stuck on the X, then yes your phone is probably toasted.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troby86:
His money was refunded. That's why I'm not sure why he is still following me around these threads. By the way, he opened a case on me in PayPal ONE day after he made the purchase, not even giving me time to explain why I had not shipped the phone. So I decided if he wanted to act in that manner, then I would let him wait until PayPal resolved the case to refund his money. Kind of immature on my part, I know. The case is now resolved, and he has been refunded. Please move on mally2. Thank you.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeartFan40:
Communication is the difference between resolution and a Paypal claim. From what I've read, you didn't communicate with Mally. You had his money, but never bothered to communicate. You made no attempt whatsoever. I would have filed a claim too. The fact that you made Mally wait for the claim (tying up his money), instead of willingly refunding him on your own, and blocking his PM's, makes you look like a scammer. Internet deals are risky to begin with; making communication a vital part of any online transaction.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranjb:
Hello All

Spent the last few weeks looking at custom roms for the Galaxy SII and hope to install one soon.

My phone is already rooted and I use Titanium backup pro to do a backup of all my app and system data.

Once my new rom is installed I would like to restore my phone back to a state where it has my apps and information e.g. text messages, whats app contacts etc I already use backup to gmail and sync my contacts with my google account so not too worried about this.

Any suggestions on things I should backup before I install. Is it possible to install a custom rom and preserve the data?? I doubt not but thought I would ask.

I installed a custom rom when I had a HTC Desire and that was pretty much straightforward. Seems ever easier on the SII but are there any gotchas I should be aware of?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:

Should it be in the general forum?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kh0rdan:
Yes, it should be in the general forum as this is for development only... ;)

Doesn't mean I can't answer your question anyway! :p

Installing a custom ROM whilst keeping you current System's "state" is possible in theory. I absolutely don't recommend it, though.

In custom ROMs, there's often a lot of changes compared to an original ROM. That means you CAN use Titanium Backup, etc., but then errors and FCs might happen. Even when installing a new custom ROM over another, it's ALWAYS better to wipe everything and re- download your Apps from the market (If you have the option ticked, your device will even reinstall all apps automatically after you logged in with your Gmail-Account... ;) )

So, in a nutshell, I'd highly recommend not to restore old saved settings, Apps, or anything else.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilsido:
I use to backup apps /w data with titanium backup and sms with a sms backup app. I has worked fin every time. I do not recommend to backup settings though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
If your phone is rooted and you have cwm recovery, I would suggest you boot into recovery and backup that way. At least if you aren't happy with the custom rom you can restore the backup and your phone will be exactly like it was before.

BTW, I've rarely had problems restoring user apps and data on new roms via titanium. Generally system apps etc give you errors.

For contacts I backup to SD card, and for SMS, apns, bookmarks and call logs I use market apps.

Also, I would suggest a no-wipe custom rom because most data is preserved anyway. They generally recommend wiping this or that first but I never do and havent had many problems in the past.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranjb:
I have tried to backup using the Nandroid backup. I have ROM manager installed and if I try to reboot into recovery or create a backup it doesnt successfully work.

It comes up with an error when in recovery which says

'failed to verify whole-file signature'

signature verification failed.

Please help.

I have made sure that my rom manager is up to date and have installed CWM

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Don't use rom manager. Reboot into recovery manually using the 3 button method : volume up + power + home.

If you don't see backup there you don't have cwm recovery (I suspect you don't). I would recommend then to flash cf-root via Odin to get it.

Edit: rom manager on its own will not give you cwm as it can't flash it on a stock kernal. You need a custom kernal with the required recovery - 2e I think. So flash cf-root.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykadoura:
Am sorry if am posting this question in the wrong area but i cant post anything in the development section yet :)

I am trying to flash a new ROM (checkROM rev HD3.1.1) and I am currently using a custom ROM (CM7.1). In CWM 5.0.2.7 I see a lot of wipe options and don't really know which one i should do. Correct me if am wrong please, but i should do 'wipe data/factory reset' and 'wipe cache partition' from the main menu, and 'wipe dalvik cache' 'wipe battery stats' from the 'advanced menu'?

what about all the format (ie, format data/ format cache/ etc.) option in 'mounts and storage' menu, is this for an external sd-card?

thanks alot
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranjb:
Thanks for that. Any instructions on how I would go about doing this flash cf-root. I dont really get that if I be honest.

All I can tell you is recently I upgraded to 2.3.5 via kies for my galaxy S 2. I then had to re-root the phonea and now I am runnin the following:

Android version - 2.3.5

Baseband version - I9100XXKI4

Kernel version - 2.6.35.7-i9100XWKDD-CL161513

build number - gingerbread.XWKJ1

When I looked at all the different flash cf-root options I didnt know which one was the one I should use for my phone. The process within Odin I'm fine with...

[Android Apps and Games] danielson84:
I went over Market and internet search...

I am looking for side slider, something like Widget Locker, but for answer/reject call. Also for end call... The reason is, because it easy to push on screen button, then still easy to slide up/down. Side slide is at most hard to slide.

I use to start new call, after old call is finished by person on other side. After call phone throws me to dialer, while I was going to push End call button, suddenly it changes to Call button and I did call - last call - It works on htc senese caller like that. I had to replace it with go dialer which does not behave like that (First I have to push who am I going to call, then call button will call). But, I like HTC sense more, also, GO dialer is a bit slow on my HTC Desire phone.

So I am looking for slider solution, to put control elsewhere and make it hard to use it accidentally.

Wold be GRAT if combine apps functionality like Caller ID and Widget Locker. And truly replace, or at least put beside original caller. If I use Caller ID, I still see original caller to blink over.. and If I am fast on my phone, with combination of GO dialer, my phone use to go crazy during call, until call is finished...

But my point is side slider as caller.

Once I had to try dGB ROM, and, i think, there was something like this, or it was only lock slider? ... I am not sure I don't remember.

[7 Mozart General] albahr:
please help me, i will flash my Mozart with DFT- Rom but it shows neither serial nor usb ( see picture). Thanks
[7 Mozart General] pitoxman:
Hi,

I think that your problem is due to your bootloader version which is 5.10. To install a DFT rom your bootloader version must not be 4.XX or 5.XX. If you are in that case you have to downgrade your bootloader

Further more, it seems that for the moment it's not possible to downgrade a 5.XX bootloader.

You have to wait for the moment, i'm in the same case of you...
[7 Mozart General] albahr:
OK, how can I change bootlader if I have no usb connection, that is the problem. Thanks
[7 Mozart General] pitoxman:
As far as i know, the only way to downgrade a 5.10 bootloader is by using a gold card with an old ROM version (which as an old bootloaderversion).

You can found some informations here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893152

[7 Mozart General] albahr:
hello, the problem only exists in the bootlader-modus but not in the normal modus. Thanks
[7 Mozart General] AndrewSh:
Your main mistake was that you had made the official update to latest mango.

Or you bought the phone already updated by someone.

The latest official software updates bootloader to version 5.10.

This bootloader will not allow you to flash any custom rom (including DFT). Also you cannot downgrade the bootloader version in any way. No GoldCard or whatever will do that.

So - just use only official roms or sell your phone away and buy the new one, but check boot version while buying.

The current state of your phone is "half - brick". You can normally use the phone and you are able to install official rom updates if they appear. But you can not install any custom rom.
[7 Mozart General] winzzzzz:
Here, open this link and read carefully before you proceed: 18 Branded hTC Roms

* Yeah, ones who replied earlier are true. I wonder, how could you use SPL 5? mine is 1.26 and running Mango..
[7 Mozart General] expressions104:
I've got mine with 5.11 bootlader then I use Goldcard. If I'm not wrong Goldcard is the method which requires y-cable, USB card reader, and microSD.

I'm so lucky I successfully downgraded it from 5.11 to 1.32.

I'm using a custom ROM right now.

So I think it's not true that you can't downgrade 5.xx to lower versions.

Just follow the instructions here at XDA and read it carefully.

It's just a little nervous to do.

When you turn on you phone at usb-host mode ( turn phone off and hold camera + volume down button and turn phone on. You are going to be in usb-host mode. you can downgrande your spl by using gold card method.
