Hi,
Is it possible to install a rom on my N1 from the computer? ( like we do with winmo)
The power button of the phone is broken, and I can't copy the zip file into the sdcard.
plz help me
your power button is broken and you can't mount the SD card?
I used dropbox to install a bunch of stuff a few times when I had broke kernels.
So how do you get to recovery? rom manager?
I've nothing at this moment, my phone is turned off ( the battery was removed);
so I can't boot the phone or get the recovery mode.
I don't know if there is a solution to get something from computer.
Search the forum (and Q&A section too), the way to power on a phone with dead power button has been discussed.
Once you're powered on - you can use reboot commands to get to recovery, etc.
I've really tried to search, but I didn't find an answer (probably because my english is poor).
If you know where to find the answer, could you plz give the url, I will follow the discuss on that thread.
thanks a lot

Thanks for the link,
I've tried all day but my phone will not turn on.
I dont know what to do now.
My phone is bricked ?
Plz, can someone help me ?
I've tried to boot the phone ( like described here in different post) but it doesn't
work for me. The phone turn on except the screen which is still turn off.
I hope there is e solution to boot my phone.
You can power on the phone by plugin usb cable, wait until led goes on, immediately pull of battery and wait until led goes of, then plugin battery back and phone should power on.
After that you can boot to bootloader by pressing trackball and from there you can go to recovery or install new rom using fastboot.
hi houmles,
thx for your help. I've tried exactely like you said, but the screen is still turn off.
I've pressed the trackball but nothing happend, just tthe sensitives keys backlight turned on.
Maybe I'm do it wrong.
You should try this application called droid explorer

If the soft keys turn on the phone is on......is there a light in the upper right of the screen The charging light? Have you opened the nexus? Possibly the connector is off or lose for the screen? Or the screen is broke from dropping or water?

hi guys... so i don't know how i got this vibrant soooooo far gone .. im afraid i have gotten it too far...
i was doing a odin back up and odin froze!... i did nothing for hours!!!! finally i shut off the program.... the phone rebooted into a screen with a picture of a phone with a triangle then dots to a computer!!!
omg!!! so im freaking out.. anyone know if there is a way back from this?? i can't even get back into recovery mode!!
please any help will do......
there was a thread about that issue, turn off your phone, unplug the usb cord, plug the usb cord. hold vol up and vol down and the power button. it will come on but when it goes off release the power button and keep holding down the vol up and vol down. should go into auto download mode. then u can reload it via odin.

this is normal just continue to download mode as normal.

you can save your device through odin, plug your phone in to your computer and try to go into download mode may take a couple tries, and flash the stock ROM you can find on these forums
i have already tried the sequence to get it into download mode... it doesnt work... tried adb and nothing registers....
anymore ideas? looks like im going to have to do a warranty exchange.
The only way I can reliably get to download mode is: power off, remove battery, replace battery, hold both vol buttons, plug in usb. works every time though.

are you using a .pit file? and if so is it the right 512 .pit file?
if both those are yes, delete the one on your system and re-download it.
I had this same exact problem a few weeks back Odin would hang on the pit file, just redownloaded and it worked like a charm.
and just a quick reminder of everything out for the Vibrant right now
Only stock firmware use the 'PDA' option a pit file, and re-partition
froyo firmware use the 'PDA' option and a pit file, no re-partition
JACs kernels use the 'CSC' option and no pit file, no-repartition
i have a Bell Vibrant and all the methods don't work. i tried the 3 button (remove batt,place in batt, plug USB, wait for the the ''star" to appear, hold VOL+/- and POWER and wait for the screen to turn off, release POWER, but it just goes back to recharging screen. tried it 40 times
tried the power off, remove battery, replace battery, hold both vol buttons, plug in usb. no go as well.
ANything else? I'm stuck at the boot screen (the 'S' glowing part).
This is what always works for me.
Unplug your USB from your phone
Makes sure ODIN is ready to go on your PC
Hold down the Down Volume and Power until the download screen comes on
Then plug your USB back into the phone
fire up odin
pull your battery
connect phone to pc WITH THE BATTERY OUT
hold volume up+down and power
put battery in while still holding those buttons
the screen will light up with....something. Wait for the screen to blink and then release the buttons.
You are now in download mode!
i will try those methods. Thanks.
crap, still no. just keeps showing the battery charging. i remember rescuing my htc magic so many times, but no go on this guy.....
Odin all fired up when doing this......

Did you make sure that the USB was unplugged when you used my method of holding down the volume down button and power button together until the download screen came up?
If you are familiar with ADB. You can also power your phone on and then plug in the USB and then type in the command line:
adb reboot download
to get it to reboot into download mode.
You can also use this command from the recovery console if you are able to get to it.

Dude, the Vibrant is new to us all. None like it. So dev wise its harder to explain and understand when we are used to coming from a one press method, now were using Odin, and Thor's hammer to flash our phones, which is god awful, no pun intended.
Dont flame your fellow Vibrant user cause he doesent understand the 613 steps it involves, and every other way to do so. Help the kid.
I am also in this position, just using a finger in the socket method, if its on it'l shock me, know what i mean. Just try it all. I have a feeling its getting harder and harder to brick phones because the manufacture is not retarded, they fix them right back, and ship them back out to customers who need replacements. I know this as a friend works at an AT&T shipping warehouse.
So cant we all just hit a bong, or get a long? And help?
If someone could explain all this 512PIT, PDA, and CSC, and Phone. It would help so much, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Just sayin.

Yeah man, i'll try it again!! And when do I start typing (sending out the adb command) when the power turns on? Thanks.
Question is: when i press power+vol Down, the boot splashscreen comes on (Galaxy S etc etc).....
I am sorry you have a Bell Vibrant, it is a little different than my phone. I found this hope this helps
HOWTO GET INTO DOWNLOAD-MODE:
- Turn off your Phone
- Hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons
- While holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons press POWER Button until you reach Download-Mode
- Release all Buttons
I also read that some of the Bell Vibrants had their Download/Recovery mode disabled.

As far as the adb command I would start as soon as it powers on. It will say "error:device not found" at first, but just keep on hitting arrow up and hitting the enter in the command window until it accepts the command.
Good Luck
Hi there,
I´ve a Vega and I installed de vegacomb build 7. Discovered that once it was power off it stucks in the vegacomb logo endlesly. I updated to build 8.1 and the same problem came across.
I found a GTab rom and as the tablet has multiple names (mine´s is actually called dvc p10 P10AN class 3G version) I installed it by error.
Now there is no way to plug it to de PC in recovery mode again and it doesn´t start at all, the screen seems to get on, but nothing happens.
The power-back button combination doesn´t work any more. Any suggestion?
Thnx a lot!
make sure the tablet is fully charged and plugged into the
Mains when you try to enter recovery. It should get there in the end.
Please post questions in the general section. This is for development only!
Mods please move this thread.
This sort of happened to me, try this.

I had similar problem i followed this
Make sure the charger is UNPLUGGED.
2. Hold The power button for 6 seconds and make sure the backlight is off.
3. Now insert the charging cable and the USB cable from the PC to the Vega.
4. Hold the back button for 2 seconds.
5. While still holding the back button ton hold the power for 2 seconds.
6. Then let go of the power button still holding the back button when is hardware wizard

Sorry if its not the appropiate section. I posted here because brick mostly happens as a result of a failure of a ROM issue. Move it if you thinks it´s not the place.
I´ve tried B1scu1T method and still nothing.
Regards
In your Windows desktop make sure you're looking at the device manager to ensure you can see if a device is detected. Also make sure you have sound, it helps to know when a deviced is plugged.
Fully charge the Vega.
Make sure the charger is plugged into the Vega
Connect the USB cable from the Vega to a tested USB port directly on the PC (not into a USB hub)
Press and hold back and then press power on the Vega.
Hope it works!
I´ve tried the back-power button combination as I always do, the thing is now the device is not recongnized by de PC. Nothing appears.
Don´t know if anyone has another combination of buttons or solution.
Thanks again, when this is solved we can go back to the enless logo at the start, but now I have this previous problem.
sometimes it doesnt show anything on the screen.
so your Vega will have black screen. follow procedure to put it in recovery mode then execute DEFAULT EXE from Vega website it will open CMD window and tell you that device is not connected or just start installing.
if it says not connected then try again to put it in recovery mode etc till you get install running. It will work AFAIK recovery on Vega + hardware buttons makes it brick proof but i might be wrong there is always first time
Goomy
After millions of tries it finally works!... Now we can go to the problem with the endless logo loop at the start up of the vegacomb 8.1.
Thanks a lot!... and never try a rom from other tablet!
See you in the ROM forum!

Thanks this did the trick for me. Tried quite a few blind alleys
My trusty SGS stopped working.
Battery is ok
When I power up, nothing seems to happen, after a short time the menu and the back button ligt up and some time later it vibrates.
No screen, no sound.
Anyone knows anything? Or is it finally dead after 3 years? I now hav to use a HTC Wildfire and well....that's a pain!

Try this solutions for bootloops from My Android Solutions
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card...make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.
and try for download mode and connection to PC with Odin running

Most people can get download mode by holding down Volume Down and Home, then Pressing Power.
Download Mode and a Bright Yellow Triangle will display on the screen if you're successful.
If you have a Custom ROM installed (seems unlikely given your question) and therefore have Clockworkmod, you could try getting back into Clockwork Recovery by holding Volume Up and Home then pressing Power and keeping the Volume and Home buttons depressed. You can restore a backup from there, reflash the rom you're currently running, and best of all, you can mount your internal SD Card on a PC and recover any essential files.

sorry mate, I am not the one who is seeking advice here, its the OP, so read his problem again
OK, I managed to really really screw my phone up!!!
I installed a 4.4.2 rom (crDroid) and everything was working fine.... USB debugging on and rooted.
Next I started playing with LCD Density settings and managed to get get a device that won't show anything past the LG logo.... just a blank screen.
I have tried connect it to my computer and using adb to push a new build.prop to fix it, but I can't seem to get this thing recognized via adb anymore.... all I see is an "unauthorized" device and I can't see the screen (b/c it blank) to make any changes to actual device.
I am really really worried that I have completely borked this device.... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
Another thing I should note.... I have tried many many times to boot directly into CWM (which I have installed version 6.0.4.4.). Unfortunately I think the LCD problem is killing me here.... I hold down the power+vol-down and then press them again when I hit the LG logo, but at this point the thing just goes blank.... I never actually see a CWM screen.
Again, thank in advance for your help... I am very very desperate and really have no idea what to do at this point.
OK, sorry for the freakout... I got this sorted out... it turns out I was following the wrong instructions on how to get into hardware reset mode.... for the vs980 you need to do the following...
1. press and hold power + vol-down
2. as soon as you see the LG Logo...
- release the power + vol-down buttons
- then immediately re-press only the power button
This should do it... some people were (I'm guessing for the other versions of the G2) were saying you needed to "re-press" both the power and the vol-down button and this was not working for me.

Because recovery takes longer to boot thus it will reboot before it enters recovery.

For fix it?
I just open the casing of the device, and bring me to 'motherboard' and all components of the device,
And then I'm force to press the power button myself, with low power,
