[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sconsylman:
Here's the deal:

Did some interesting modifications to my sgs4g lately.

I've been overclocking for gaming with Tegrak (1.3g) lately, works fantastic with Raver's Unnamed RC2 rom. Been doing this for a while, testing many of the fine work from the mods here (Thanks!). I also currently run AdamOutler's Unbrickable Mod on my motherboard which got me out of a hard brick a while back (Thanks Again!).

So, sometimes heat would build too much during gaming forcing the processor to reboot, so i decided to install a heatsink. Problem is, the cpu is wedged under the sim/sdcard board negating a direct heatsink, although it would still probably work ok in general, better than the rear cover plastic.

How about a fan? A fan you say, why Ikoinu, that is the stupidest idea I've ever heard, a fan would never fit on our phones!

Don't be so quick to judge, my good friends. What if one could find a fan of, say, 15x15x4mm? That might work?

Wait a minute Ikoinu, you are in fact a genius of the highest order! Except the electrical draw of such a fan might negate our Juice Defender?

Perhaps a draw of 0,148 W from a 3.3v unit might be not-so-bad? (our batteries run 4.4v or so).

Why yes, for limited running that might in fact improve our OC induced temperatures. Again, we'll reiterate our initial statement, you are in fact a genius!

Well, lets not go that far just yet. I mounted said fan up top between the loudspeaker and the camera, where it fit nicely. Rather than pressurizing, I reverse mounted it as an extraction fan which should keep the dust out. I pulled the smallest pressure switch I could find out of a Ps2 controller (there are 3 on each stick) and wired it in to the negative lead as a manual control button, and ran the +&- leads to the battery.

I had to do quite a bit of modification to the inner case to fit, and cut the rear cover for fan and switch ports. End result? Works fantastically. It should, it's a 10,000 rpm fan! Now if it comes apart it will probably send mini shrapnel flying taking out a small crowd, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. (Plausible Deni-ability!)

Which brings me to my current problem: Power switch is not working anymore. I don't think it shorted, as I measured voltage on it and it is functioning just fine (it's a negative switch). Without said power switch, I can still get into CWM Recovery, and go up and down to my hearts content, but I can't select anything in it. Which means I can't flash roms, modify, brick my phone, I'm handicapped!

My solution is CWM touch, which can be installed with this maybe?: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481228

I can't currently flash anything without a power button though. There is no Odin or Heimdall or OneClick options for our phones with CWM touch, as I can use all three still. With CWM touch installed, I have recovery back. That is if I can get it installed. I also have been fighting with flash_image to do it but it just will not work, neither in Better Terminal Emulator on the phone or adb on the computer. Now if it could be installed in a OneClick or one of the others, it should work.

Anyone smarter than me have any ideas?

P.S. I hope you find my embellishments entertaining!
