[HTC Desire S] z33m:
I have an HTC Desire S with a broken power button. I manage to power on the device by using quick battery in-out trick, and unlock screen with an unlock app. I want to root the device and install custom rom.

The problem is that i cant select items on the Bootloader menu since the power button doesnt work. Is there some way to select items without the power button?
[HTC Desire S] uarepeople:
How is the power button broken? You might be able to fix it if you can take the device apart which is quite easy, I've done it. However, that would have to be a risk you're willing to take. I'm not sure if you can navigate the bootloader without a functioning power button. But I know you can access fastboot from the command line. Is your device S-OFF? Is the bootloader unlocked?
[HTC Desire S] z33m:
The power button became lesser and lesser responsive over time. i had to press multiple times before the screen would unlock. Eventually it just stopped working. I have taken the device apart once, with hopes of fixing the power button, but it seems that the power button is a tiny button surface mount directly to the main board. I cleaned eveything out, but no luck.

The device is S-ON. I havnt done anything other than installing the Official ICS upgrade. How did you fix your power button?
[HTC Desire S] uarepeople:
I should've explained why I took mine apart, I took mine apart in order to mod the unibody thing. I've seen websites that sell replacement parts so if you feel confident about repairing it yourself then you could always consider that.

Back to your initial question. You will be on the most recent HBOOT due to being on the ICS upgrade. Follow this guide by skanob in order to downgrade your HBOOT. Then use Revolutionary to S-OFF and install a custom recovery to your device. Then you should update your HBOOT to 7.00.1002 so that you have no difficulties with any custom ROMs.

Remember to read all the guides in full and make sure that you know what you are doing and that you are prepared before you start doing anything to your device. And make sure you are willing to risk damaging your device. Every device is different, personally my DS had no issues with any of these things I used as you can see in my sig.

Good luck.
[HTC Desire S] z33m:
This is the procedure that i am following. Step 1 itself is to unlock bootloader using htcdev.com/bootloader . This procedure requires me to select HBoot from the bootloader menu, which i cannot, since the power button is broken.
[HTC Desire S] uarepeople:
Unlocking the bootloader doesn't require you to select anything. The guide tells you to type some code into a command line. Your PC will do everything for you. To get in to the bootloader all you do is connect your phone to the PC, open a cmd box and type:

It will then turn off your phone and boot into fastboot.
[HTC Desire S] z33m:
I have done this. But im now stuck at the final step, which is a yes/no confirmation prompt on the phone, where i have to press power button to confirm.
[HTC Desire S] uarepeople:
Usually the yes/no prompt is selected by the volume up/down buttons.

Could you please add the 'format sd-ext to ext4' functionality in this, it is a really important feature that is missing from regular cwm5, will make setting up sd-ext more easy and independent from the computer.

Does format sd-ext to ext4 work?

Wysyłane z mojego GT-S5830 za pomocą Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SpaceCaker:
i have not tried sd ext yet

since i currently only have a 251MB sd card in my ace and dont have enoug memory to create partitions ith enough size

so i currently do not know

but think it should work though

or it would be converted to ext3
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] tomaasz:
any recovery for Ace has format to ext4

only to ext3

only PSN toll format to ext4

so many people will use your mod if you will make it possible.

I will try it but for few days.

At the moment I have 2 days old Mardons 4.2.2. and no time to install new rom.

tomaasz
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SpaceCaker:
will try And check in recovery sources to change ext3 to ext4
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] sauron82:
It doesn't sound like you have an SD at all; I'm pretty sure that's the total internal capacity of SGA.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] tomaasz:
I tested. It format to ext3. Could you fix this ? and make possible format to ext4 ?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
Is anyone using this alright instead of CWM? is it stable / able to make and restore nandroid backups easy? can you format individual areas like CWM, or format the SD card (ext4 yet?)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SpaceCaker:
i havent looked yet for sd-ext4 yet

but ext4 system etc all functions work ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
Well I flashed 4.0 and it seems to work fine, going to install a new ROM with it. If I don't report back, assume everything is running fine.

Edit: the background could do with being a blank colour so the text is easier to read instead of an image.

Hi paradoxiumwind,

you could try this tool:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ullasmanju:
it is best partition(or format) your sd-card through windows . .. . . its a much safer way
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] romuleta:
Have you heard about S5830B stock recovery that only accepts update.zip filename?

I've installed root by renaming AceGingerRoot.zip to update.zip. Installation successful! I could see superuser in app drawer.

But when I did it (rename) with PX Recovery, I've got "Install from sdcard completed" from stock recovery, but now I can't enter Recovery anymore. It shows only samsung logo.

I've installed root and recovery successfully in other two S5830B, but their stock recovery accepts any filename with .zip extension.

Maybe a protected stock recovery?

Sorry my English! :o

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] BajoPrimate:
Hi DutchArjo, I've installed it just today and all goes fine for me, and yes, you can restore your old CWM backups with PX, I've tried it and it works fine (right now I'm on my phone with a CWM backup restored via PX) . Good luck---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------[SIZE]

Hi Android_Number17, no, it won't.

You should install PX recovery without wipe anything, so, your sd-ext will not wipe itself for installing PX recovery. Good luck.

Thanks bajo! ill flash a new rom later do i need to wipe my SD-Ext etc? im using int2ext+
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] BajoPrimate:
Hi Android_Number17, you're welcome, if you flash a new rom via PX or via CWM , you must follow the usual procedure: follow exactly the instructions of the author.

So, normally you'll do the three wipes, then install the rom, (reboot), (reboot recovery) then mount system and data, install int2ext+, format sd-ext and reboot (then perhaps install some mods). Good luck.

yea i missed some steps haha! im rebooting via odin now :) , are you using script? which is better int2ext+ or int2ext4+?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] BajoPrimate:
Hi Android_Number17, with PX recovery you can use your favorite scripts, there is no problem. The scripts depend on the rom, the other mods and scripts,... (but not on the recovery). BTW, I'm on a stock based rom with int2ext+, you could ask about this in the script thread.

last time i tried modding the file

it caused Sd card to be not findable on pc or other tools

even on phone

so i am not sure if i can still add properly

I think we have the tool by psn which really works & also note that cwm recovery can't format sd-ext to ext4.Get over it BRO its not a big issue.I always use PSN Tool for ext 4.

Its not a big issue space that's what I think ,we have PSN EXT 4 format tool which works like a charm.I think tomaasz will understand that it is difficult to implement this feature & also it can cause problem to our phone as you have just mention.

One question tho... why is there only B (as Byte) shown when I enter Advanced/Info/Disk/sd-ext? As no numbers are shown. The same for /sd-card... ?

I'm just investigating why a certain ROM just won't install properly, and this is a thing I noticed :)

Oh, and - does Ext4 really format to Ext4?
