[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
If you already got WidgetLocker for your Trackball wakeup "needs" you could always launch it and have it set to a low timeout period, say 15s. Then you'd launch it and it'd then turn off in 15s. I think it'll go as low as 10.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyl4me:
You can get the "lock screen widget" (free) to lock the phone (just like push the power button)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elio:
:) You are right, I use it myself, but I was thinking about an application which could use the trackball to turn off the phone while only on home screen.

I tried "lock screen widget" but for some reason it disables the trackball wake up that "no lock" permits.

So for now I'm using a combination of "no lock" with "lock 2.0".

Problem remains when i need to reboot the phone using the broken power button...

Thanks all again and again.
[G1 Android Development] Dootuz:
Hello,

I have a G1 and I just installed DeathSPL on it (after installing the radio of course and I have a PVT board). I've been looking around and trying to find how to go back from DeathSPL to something like HardSPL. I am pretty much trying to revert the phone back to it's original state. Any help would be great. I could not find any information on this in the FAQ.

Thanks!

Dootuz
[G1 Android Development] Wolf61477:
just flash the spl you want to revert back to. just remember, when flashing the spl it will wipe the current rom off of your phone. so after flashing the hardspl, youll need to reflash whatever rom you want to use after.
[G1 Android Development] Dootuz:
Thank you, I could not find this anywhere. :D

I swear to God 80% of all posts on XDA are people replying to other people, telling them they are posting on the wrong forum (without even telling them where they 'should' be posting) Very Hilarious but also far far more annoying then the supposed misplaced post itself. p.s. please reply to this telling me I'm posting in the wrong forum, it will make my day.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adanedhels:
Really?

Ok first drumdude are you a moderator? Have you done any development ever? Do you post anything other then nasty remarks? If I were a moderator I would ban hammer you not the person offering to help.

Seriously people just because you have anonymity behind your user name doesn't give you the right to be rude. Stop jumping on a post and yelling at the poster, if the moderators have a problem they will move the post you are not the police and all you are doing in potentially scaring off help!!! Which correct me if I'm wrong a development forum is DEPENDENT on.

I for one have been taken aback and offended by some of the blatant rudeness on this forum.

We never know who is new or who is posting something. What if a HTC dev was posting a question with the intent to leak info to us and you blasted him like this? Do you think he would want to help after that? Or what if someone who was posting a question also happened to be at HTC legal and got pissed enough to force all our nice developers to stop using anything HTC with a cease order (which they can legally do whenever they want) all because of some rude poster.

Please people be responsible and think before you speak the world and this forum will be better for it.

Good luck with that! You may have just ruined your chances.

While you can update from a rooted phone to a rooted 2.2 ROM, stock FroYo (what you're installing right now) cannot be rooted as of yet. So you're hoping someone can root it, and that may or may not be possible.

How to do froyo 2.2 update

ok i found the solution.

1. rename the file (make sure you dont add ".zip" instead just rename to "update" thats it. this is very important)

2. press and hold power and volume up button together.

3. select 'bootloder' mode and going volume down and then pressing power to choose it.

4. click recovery mode.

5. you will get a black screen with a weird sign

6.click and hold power and volume up togther again.

7. now choose update.zip by scrolling volume down then click power.

8. thats it. wait for it to complete
[EVO 4G General] gigadigit:

[EVO 4G General] kbone213:

[EVO 4G General] batichavez:
Awesome. Thank you. It worked.
[EVO 4G General] marcog42:
He probably doesn't have file extensions showing in his file explorer, so if he names it update.zip he really ends up with update.zip.zip. As far as I can tell it should be named update.zip.

Still can't get it to install though. Do you need to be running unrooted for this to work?
[EVO 4G General] nhutpham:
I was rooted and then unrooted and applied the froyo update (I'm returning my phone whenever they get it in stock because of a dead pixel, so didn't care about losing root)

My PRI is still 1.34_003

Baseband version:

2.15.00.07.28
[EVO 4G General] kbone213:
I'm thinking the same thing on both accounts.
[EVO 4G General] midhun:
yes just put the file name just to "update" not "update.zip"

if case your file explorer messes up the extension you will know because your zip file icon will go away in windows.

well this is what i did which made it worked. before that i tried many other things. but i think this is the main problem of error.
