Hi there, I got my Transformer about a week ago and the Powerbutton was somehow not ok, it took some power to lock/unlock screen etc yet i didnt really care. now it wont function at all (to turn it of i had to push it against a damn wall).
So i understand its a problem with the button and not the software and I want to go and replace it, problem is that two days ago i flashed modaco's rom. is there any way to return to STOCK WITH the broken powerbutton? how can i go to recovery in that case anyways?
also, maybe i can remap the button to "both volume buttons pressed" or something of the sort?
thanks in advance!
Connect to pc/mac with the android sdk install. Send these commands to it.
Adb reboot recovery
Or
Adb reboot.... It will reboot hold down volume button and it should go into recovery.

I see, now remains the problem of how to flash it to stock firmware.
I think you can put the stock update zip on the root of your sd card and flash it in recovery.

But the problem is when choosing what to do in recovery mode. The choice is made by pressing the power button.
When you reboot into honeycomb with the update on the root of the card you should get a notification of a system update. Try that.

Are you sure it safe to just apply an update on a custom ROM? I don't wont it completely bricked.
Oh your rooted. Didn't know that. Kinda don't know now.

Flash the attachment, reboot your device. This will give you stock recovery
Next you need to download one of the FOTA update (any version will do) from ASUS's site and rename it EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and put it in the root of your MicroSD. Now you need to boot into recovery and press volume up within 5 seconds so it'll flash the recovery ROM.

So I am trying to install update.zip to root my vibrant but the power button is broken with JI6 z4mod patched kernel. I am trying to root the phone and I have the update.zip in both sdcard and sdcard/sd folders. I am looking for a way to install update.zip in recovery mode without power button.
Is this possible using ADB on a nonrooted device? I have already tried this without success....
Also, I can't use adb remount since I dont have root access.
Code:
adb shell recovery --update=sdcard/update.zip
Anyone out there found a solution to this? The power button on my Nexus One is completely shot, and luck would have it that I voided my warranty to replace a smashed digitizer shortly before it started to act up, so no love from HTC.
I get by with WidgetLocker, which allows wake-via-trackball, so I haven't yet sprung the US$50 to buy a replacement power button/upper circuit board on eBay. I wanted to apply the Gingerbread update.zip to my phone, but I haven't yet found a way to do that without having to use the power button somewhere in the procedure.
Advice?

Thanks!
you don't "install a update.zip"
You leave it on your external SD Card that you mount on your computer. and thts that.
Okay read your question one more time..
Here's what you do.
This rooting method doesn't require you to go into Recovery at all.
Use a program called "super one click root" it some-how which idk, puts a superuser app on your app drawer, and if the superuser app is there, your rooted. so try that. I'll edit this post if i find the link. hold up.

That will work to get into recovery, but then how does he select anything in the menu?
Ahh, so simple, yet I neglected.... This seems tough
I am not familiar with this mod z4 kernel... Is there not a revert?
Why don't you root with super one click, then use rom manager from koush to install a new kernel?
No power button needed. (I think)

Is the physical power button broken, or is it software broken?
If it's software wouldn't an odin to jfd fix it? To access d/l mode without power button, run "adb reboot download".
If its the physical button...i don't know if this works on stock recovery but I was able to use the back button to select in clockwork red. I didn't have the stock recovery long enough to remember if it works on it.

Yeah, if you are stuck on a kernel with bad button mapping then you should probably just odin out.

Agreed, I think through ROM manager you have to select flash rom or something to that effect, but it will let you flash any .zip including a new kernel

Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Download the 2.3.4 update found on the General Section of the Nexus One thread, rename it to Update.zip, and boot into recovery by holding down the volume down key and the power button. Select Recovery from the Hboot screen and when you see the Android bug/mascot, hit the volume up and poet key together. When you see the options list, select "apply update.zip". Make sure the update.zip file is on the root of your memory card.

You wiped before install 2.3.4?? I was having some problem because I didn't wipe the device before install the new firmware. So I advise you to trying wiping and then install 2.3.4.
You can wipe you nexus doing this:
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap Privacy.
3. Tap Factory data reset.
4. Tap Reset phone.

hey guys, Im new to the forums. I have an HTC Desire HD on Telus, joined to ask some genreal questions about rooting, Cyanogen Mod 7, etc.
Anyway, I recently got Cyanogenmod on my phone, and installed the Telus kernel thing at the end (following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954997). Anyway, the guide wasnt perfect here:
"2- Copy Telus Kernel.zip to your SD card from the "Step 2 - Telus Kernel" folder.
3- Run Kernel Update Utility (in the "Step 3 - Kernel Update Utility" folder) and click "Select a cwm zip", then click next, then click Go to fastboot, wait for the white bootloader screen on your phone, then click Flash. Once it's done, it'll reboot back into Android."
I wasn't sure what to select as a cwm.zip...so I chose the telus kernel zip in the "Step 2 - Telus Kernel" Folder. everything went fine until boot up. It just hung at the HTC turn on screen...and I couldnt even get into reboot recovery. Sent it in and now I have a new one...Still want CyanogenMod. Just dont wanna screw it up a second time. Thanks for any help

What you should of done is hold vol- and power button and that would of took you to recovery.
Anyways, from personal experience i've flashed different kernel to try out a number of times, my advice is to copy the kernel into your sd card and boot into recovery and flash the kernel as you would flash a rom..
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
hey, ya I tried the down volume plus power, it did nothing. anyway, maybe Ill try it that way. boot into recovery and flash it from there. The Telus kernel is so that I can hear out of the earspeaker correct?
That's right.. Boot into recovery and flash the kernel. The utility is just an automation of that process as far as I understand.

So why did my phone brick then? And can you tell me the process once in reboot recovery? Like what I should do before actually installing it? Such as wipe the cache, etc.

Technically if you phone booted into the boot screen , it wasn't bricked. whatever that was flashed caused a boot loop.
1. Hold Vol- and power button, wait for it to boot and release the keys.
2. select the option install zip from sdcard
3. Find the kernal and select it.
4. Once flashed select reboot system now.
All done
So that is for the ear speaker then?

What's it for then? Why would I have to put it on after I get cyanogen mod? When I had it on my last phone (before it got fixed) just the phone feature didn't work...texting worked though...i don't understand what it is meant for...i know it's a total noob question, but I have to ask lol

From your initial post
I wasn't sure what to select as a cwm.zip...so I chose the telus kernel zip

you flashed a kernel to your recovery partition, which will have at least stopped it rebooting into recovery, what you should have done is returned to fastboot and flashed clockwork recovery and all would have been working.
Oh...so I should just do the whole thing from sd on the card in reboot recovery?

I've been having this issue but haven't said anything about it because I can get around it....but when I select back up current ROM or boot into recovery the screen goes black like its going to boot into recovery and the hard buttons at the bottom front of the phone all stay lit up and it stays like that unless I pull the battery....it happens in this latest version of ROM Manager and in the one before it...like I said I can still work around it and boot into recovery using the power button but it bothers me a little....I been on the latest version of VU....

Currently my phones volume rockers do not work. I've been running on an old ROM that seems to be slowing down,requiring me to reboot more frequently. I'd really like to update to a newer ROM, but I'm worried if I have any issues I can't force my phone into recovery with the power button + volume down combo.
I am very close to just doing an insurance claim on this though. I have a crack on the bottom right of my phone too. That way I can hop on the T-Mobile Jump program
Adb reboot recovery
will let you get into recovery without using the volume buttons.
There are also several apps that will let you reboot directly to the recovery if your already rooted
Such as quick boot (reboot)

I think I was more worried about if my ROM install didn't go well and it won't boot all together. Before I could still just go into recovery and re-install. If that happens now? adb recovery?
Hmm. Thinking more. As long as a rom boots you are ok. But if you got stuck at a boot loop before you can use adb, you are screwed

Unfortunately I do not believe there is a way to boot into recovery without the volume buttons unless you are booted into the system. Have you considered restoring to stock and trying for a warranty replacement?
