Hello everyone
I own a Nexus s I9020 T-mobile. and I'm using it on Vodafone.
My power button stopped working a month back and I'm using widgetlocker lockscreen to unlock.
I did not receive the OTA for ICS last month and i would like to have it on my phone by doing the update manually.
Is there a way to do the update manually with a broken power button ?
Thanks
There is a clockwork recovery with touchscreen interface I can't remember where I saw it though. So you could use that to flash the ota. Or you could flash the boot and system images directly through adb if they have been posted somewhere. You will have to root your phone before you can use these methods

thanks .. but I think the touch based clockwork recovery is only avilable for Galaxy Nexus and more over I dont want to root my phone unless it is absolutely necessary .. because i'll have to re-install all my apps
is there any possible way to do it without rooting ?
The Clockwork Recovery you are looking for is named TWRP (latest is Version 2.0.0). Look at the offical site - http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 - choose your device (NS or NS4G) and install via adb
Good luck

Thanks mate
should my device be rooted for this ?
and after installing clockwork recovery how do I flash the update.zip file via clockwork, any guide ?
I have a new posted guide which should be useful for you, but you have to have it rooted first.

Thanks mingkee
will try it out .. just hope I don't brick my phone 'coz im going to root my phone for the first time
looks like you have gone back to CM7 from ICS
should I overlook ICS too, coz im pretty happy with GB right now.
You don't need to flash TWRP. In clockwork mod recovery back is back, menu is down, search is select, home is up.

even to flash ClockworkMod or TWRP, first you will need to unlock the bootloader right ?
for this again the need for power button arises..
Hello all. Im new to this particular forum. I own a Galaxy Nexus, but I am unlocking/rooting my buddies One S for him. I have gone through the loops already; unlocked the bootloader, rooted, and installed custom recovery (CWM) with no issues. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was a snap compared to his previous HTC Legend. Nightmare.
Anyway, forgive me if this has in fact been answered as I have been searching. After a custom ROM is flashed you still have to flash a boot img via fastboot? I attempted to install CM10 yesterday and get stuck at the HTC boot screen?? Luckily I made a nandroid of the stock ROM and easily reverted. Where do I find the appropriate boot img? Is it just the img that is found in the unpacked ROM? Couldn't find anything pertaining to this in the ROM write up. I know with my Nexus you flash the ROM via recovery and that is it. Strange that you need to also flash the boot img following the ROM flash.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello there, since you installed cwm recovery, you have to flash the boot.img via fastboot, if you have the twrp recovery you may not need to flash it via fastboot, it does it for you if you have an hboot under 1.14 but if its over that hboot your going to have to flash the boot.img for any Rom via fastboot. It still wouldn't hurt to flash the boot.img via fastboot but that's just me, well I hope I helped you and if I did then good, and if you wanna know more just ask...
If I helped then just press the thanks button

Hi,
I was using CM10 and now I want to revert back to my previously used stock ROM. However after restoring I'm still unable to boot (I'm using ClockworkMod Touch). Do I need to flash the stock boot.img too? Where I can find it?
Thanks in advance!

Its in the rom.zip just extract it. Also look for Flash Image Gui in apps section as enables you too flash a boot.img direct from your phone whilst booted in a rom and will even extract the files for you from the new rom.zip!

I can't find the zip file for stock HTC ROM
Anyway, I found the boot.img in the nandroid backup folder and it's all good now.
Thank you for the link! ^_^
I would also switch to TWRP. Seems to have less issues, if any, for most folks
Get it thru Goo Manager from PlayStore--
curious if there is something i'm missing here... i've unlocked my bootloader successfully but whenever i fastboot flash a recovery or flash root files in recovery nothing seems to stick... not sure whats going on... i've heard of having to flash recovery everytime on devices with a locked bootloader but i didn't think that would apply here... any help is much appreciated... (this is also my first samsung/nexus device so i'm more familiar with methods used on the EVO line)

Make sure you're using a perm root method. and make sure you have the correct updated SU application. My root wouldn't come through because I didn't have the latest SU.
Hopefully I helped.

By default, any recovery you flash on the system will be gone by the next reboot. This is a security measure the android os does I think.
1. You can flash a ROM. Anyone. I prefer aokp or cna. That way the recovery sticks (the recovery sticks on all the ROMs besides stock)
OR
P.S. You will need the latest cwm recovery
2. So all you need to do is to flash the recovery of your choice. I would recommend CWM for this short guide. Then once flashed go to the recovery make a backup. Then if it reboots flash the same recovery again. Boot into it and restore that backup. When you restore it and go reboot system now it should come up with a menu saying recovery flash fix (or something around those lines). Hit/navigate to yes and you should get a sticky recovery from there. BTW I have not tried this method.
You cannot blame me for bricking, damaging or done anything to your phone
Hope this helps.
Regards,
UselessSniper001
P.S. I don't know how root isn't sticking. I mean if you have flashed the su is the recovery already well then you are all set to go. Unless you haven't actually flashed the su in the recovery. Then flash the recovery from your PC boot into the recovery and flash the su files in the recovery. Reboot and enjoy. Then follow this guide above. Or follow this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875875&page=2
I finally figured out the SU and CWM I was flashing was ancient so I found the newest and they stuck with help of the fix ya mentioned inside CWM... Thanks

Hey guys!
I´m trying to get the hang of flashing on my HTC One S. From the beginning I just wanted to get a good deodexed ROM with Sense, but after trying 4.2.2 on a Galaxy S2 I would really like to have it on my One S.
Here´s my question...
I have found some great ROMs that I want to try. I have TWRP 2.3.3.0 and I´m S-on. I know that I have to fastboot the boot.img before flashing any ROM. But is the boot.img the one inside every specific custom ROM (the .zip) or what? Do I extract it from the specific ROM (the .zip) or do I go about it any other way?
I have asked this in one specific thread but no answer. This is really Everything I need to know Before I start flashing... I feel I´m rather comfortable with all other info I have...
Thanx in advance!
Well, if there is no mention of a seperate boot.img in the OP, flash the One inside zip file
If you're stuck in a bootloop, choose the appropriate kernels from kernel threads
So I was right? I extract the boot.img from the rom.zip if nothing else is mentioned in the OT? Then I flash it through fastboot?

Hi !
Just download from playmarket this app " flash Image gui" , with this app you can easy extract kernel, and modules from your preferred rom, and flash them. All this app does automatically, just choose your zip file.
But you can choose another kernel, and flash it over , I.e. bubba vn 4 on Liquid, or Holo black bean.
Just download kernel from dev. tread and flash with "flash image gui" all this is for a few minutes.
As long as I have a Nandroid backup I can use AllInOne tool to flash stock kernel, recovery and my backup, right?
The Kernel-thread you mention... I actually can´t find it. Or am I missing something.
Can I ask Another question? If I want to flash another Radio with S-on... can I do that while in TWRP recovery? I have seen this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684477&highlight=flash+radion
I already have openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-ville.img flashed on my phone... so as I understand I can just flash the radion from TWRP-recovery?

Here is the tread from "RMBQ"
And, I think you can flash with all in one tool, but I have no experience with.
About S-OFF , please read tread in development section.
Thanx guys for all the help!
All went well and now I have 4.2.2 on my HTC One S... sweet!
I have LG Nexus 5 Phone rooted recently. With Custom Recovery I have installed some Zips (Called Mods). One of the Zips is Corrupt and my phone is not responding at all. I want to remove the Custom Zip/Mod only as I don't wan to wipe off whole system.
Is there any way to remove that particular Mod using TWRP Manager or any other way without loosing my data/stuff on my phone.

I am not able to find any backup. I think I have not created it. Does this application creates backup automatically?
If in worst to worst case there is no backup, what are all other options I do have here.

This, yes... but I doubt he made a backup if he ask how to "remove" the mods...
@anshumangoyal, maybe the there is an "undo" zip file, a revert to stock zip file? What mod have you flashed?
Dirty flash your rom, no wipe, and you won't lose anything...
And no automatic backup, you need to do it yourself in recovery, first thing to do when you flash some stuff.

Boot in recovery, go to your rom zip file, flash and reboot...
Without more relevant info I can only say that...
Stock rom? Custom rom? Link to the mod you flashed?

It's Stock ROM I have Rooted to, I am not using ay custom ROM. So whare to download this Stock ROM. And also once this Stock ROM is flashed do I need to root the phone again.
I may be asking very silly questions, but this is what I was able to know in last 1-2 months and "still Learning"
Ok, it seems you don't want to post a link to the mod you flashed, or at least say the name, I asked 2 times and maybe we could do a revert zip file for you if we know what you have flashed (it depends of what kind of mod) then...
Take a look here to return to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701.
Or flash a stock rom via recovery? Maybe easier for you...
EDIT: stock roms, flashable zip file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52732041&postcount=4 (two first links), see above to flash...

Oops I am sorry, I was not aware of terminology here. If I see in System Setting I have Build Number: KOT49H and Kernel Version: 3.4.0-gadb2201
Is this information you are looking for. I had unrooted latest android software, which I rooted using wugFresh tool kit software on windows 8.
Model: Nexus 5, LGD820, D821
Android 4.4.2 KOT49H
I hope this will help out.
Nope, it's not what I asked but...
I gave you a link to some full stock roms (rooted) to flash in recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52732041&postcount=4 (use the first one for example).
Put it on your phone via computer, reboot in recovery go to the zip file you've just put, flash the zip file and reboot, the modified files from the mods you flashed will be replaced by the original stock files.
Use this link to "learn" how to use some commands (manually) and return to stock when you encounter a plroblem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701. Here you need to flash the system.img (I guess, since I don't know what you flashed), or "all"...
Maybe harder for you since you used a Toolkit the first time but with time and reading...
If it seems even too hard for you, then in your Toolkit is there an option to return to stock, reflash the system.img?
When I ask you what mod you flashed, I mean it's a theme? A kernel? A sound mod? A camera mod? Because if we know what you flashed, maybe we can do a revert zip file for you by replacing the files by the stock ones in the zip).
What is the exact name of the zip file, the last you flashed and gives you problem?
Read all closely and take your time...
