My power button is showing symptom of Dying anytime soon. without having to risk an unresponsive screen after a press on power button, Im looking for another route to access Recovery WITHOUT having to long press the POWER button..
Urgently waiting for reply.
Regards.
EDIT:
Mod please consider close this topic to save XDA's bandwidth.
if you use clk instead of magldr, you can enter recovery using rom manager (i think? never used it myself)
dont try rom manager from magldr, it will destroy your recovery install.

if you download terminal emulator from the market and type:
SU (enter)
reboot recovery (enter)
it will also work.
But i believe you must need root access. cause you will get "operation not permitted" if you arent
Secondly, there is always ADB. If you are on windows its easy as pie to set up. just look here and then type "adb reboot recovery" and that will work as well. good luck!

Yup that actually works! The only downside was need to input selection everytime i reboot the phone. But that's better than having to risk the power button failure!

There's no need to be rude. First of all, he clearly helps people judging by the fact that he has OVER 800 THANKS. You can hardly do that without being either a recognised dev or someone who really knows their stuff and contributes. You clearly don't understand what trolling is judging by your last post, and have you ever thought of the simple explanation that he came to the thread to give that specific advice, saw samsamuel's post and just decided to confirm that what he said would work? Now, you're undoubtedly going to call me a troll as well, despite having no knowledge of what trolling is, but I'm not. I'm simply a person with some common sense.

Hi Nigeldg, Does the "what he said lol" phrase does help in any sorts of way? To my knowledge OVER 800 THANKS user doesn't have any privileges to be on top of anyone and simply replied "what he said lol" without even trying to help. Now that really doesn't make any sense and with your common sense, I supposed that you are clearly understand the situation before you trying to help someone.
Whatever it is, I'm a happy man now with problem solved.

Think about it this way, people often will reply to a solution which they have tried with '+1 to this', showing that they have tried it and it works. Same goes for 'what he said lol', it shows you that that solution works. I never said that having 800+ thanks makes you better than someone, but it most certainly shows that a person is probably worthy of posting in the forums, and that they probably know what they're doing.
Anyway, glad to see you got your problem sorted out, and I realise I'm a bit behind here replying to an older post, but I just thought I should make myself clear as well

Cyanogen is saying its a bug. Tmo is saying its a feature. which one is correct?
If it is indeed a bug how would tmo go about fixing our phones? mass recall? sweep under the rug?
If its a feature, is it a precursor to what future phones will be?
Either outcome isnt very good for the consumer and may lead to lots of lost customers for tmo. Specially after tmo releasing a statement that its a feature of the phone.
I love this phone, the very first smartphone i ever had, and was really looking forward to hacking around with it but its hard to justify such a device that locks you out of such features. I hope cyanogen and all the other great devs work out a solution to this problem. I dont want to send it back.

People are being jerks for sure, but OP, you should search better cuz your question has been answered in several threads. The short of it is NO. It is not a bug in the sense you are thinking. It is an intentional bug which tricks linux (android os) into thinking writes to the system files during root are being made when in actuality, the writes are only being written to cache. Once the cache is cleared during reboot the root access is erased because it wasn't actually written to the system in the first place. It's not a bug that needs to be fixed. It's a bug that was placed there to fool the system and make permanent root more...challenging.

There is a very informational Wiki out. Check it out. It will get you up to date with all the work that has been done towards root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2
The important part of the question.. for me.. is whether the Z has the same bugFeature.
I see one random user saying that they flashed a G2 rom on a Desire Z and nothing more. Have I missed something? Kinda hard to say yay or nay based solely on that.
"Intentional Bug" ????
If it's intentional, it's NOT a bug.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Thank you XfooYen for the info. I did a quick search before I posted(the posting page even searches similar post before you publish them) and found nothing similar. I will make sure to search more thoroughly next time.
I am familiar with the current situation with root, I just though that if a well known developer like cyanogen thinks that its a bug that maybe the readers of xda might want to discuss his possible ratonale for such a statement, then again that may not have been what he was trying to say and got it misrepresented by the media. Instead I saw nothing but irrelevent and pointless posts. For a second I thought this was gizmodo or engadget.
Thank you again. Its good to know that xda has readers who actually know what they are talking about and not just the average troll.

Agreed. This is XDA. In the years I've been here, there was never this much flaming and douchery as there has been lately.
My buddy just got an X10 - I'm very familiar with other android phones, but this one seems a little unique. I also noticed he is running 1.6.
What suggestions would you guys make?
Root possible? If so, what is the best method and custom ROM?
Are there plans for 2.1+ in the near future?
Any must have apps?
What are the safe apps to remove if root is possible?
You guys get the idea.. sorry for not browsing too much, but I can't learn a new phone in such a short period, especially when it's not mine.

Did you miss the first reply in this thread answering your questions...?
Whatever you do, if you root, don't delete system apps. (IE: Timescape, Mediascape, Dialer, Browser).
You will all take the level of importance of this question as your own but I have had a query burning in my mind for a while.
I know that currently the Android OS is a BUILD and it takes a wm ROM to launch off, but I was wondering is there a way for the HTC LEO to run DROID ONLY and never have to associate itself or use WM ROMS ever again. Essentially I am asking is there a way to create a ANDROID ROM for the HTC LEO?
Note: Can the answers be open minded and not fuelled by programmers knowledge as most programmers I know will only give answers in the current boundaries of technology, but I do urge you to remember that at one point Computers were impossible...but they did it. I hope the programmers here do not take offence to this, I just want to know is it theoretically possible.
Thank you in advance.

100% agree with this (i often say it too), with a few exceptions tho

Alot of people are asking how to flash cyanogenmod and/or complaining about not havig google apps. So here we go.
If you want ext4, get cwm3, it is alot simpler that way.
1)download the rom, kernal for the file system you have and gapps and put them on the root of your sd card
2)boot into cwm
3)wipe data/factory reset 3 times, wipe cache 3 times and finaly go to advanced and wipe dalvik 3 times
4) go to install zip from sd and choose the rom, not the kernal or gapps
5)choose install another zip and choose the kernal (your screen may flash)
6)choose install another zip and choose gapps
7 )reboot (may take a while on first boot. Five minutes max.)

Yes, just what we needed, a vague tutorial with awful grammar.
EDIT Well, without bumping the thread: amazing I got jumped on for this. There's a difference between "being a ****" and commenting on obvious facts.
OP clearly wanted to make a tutorial for installing Cyanogenmod... but doesn't care enough to use the shift key, format the text, or explain the steps. Most of the confusion comes from not knowing how to execute these broad individual steps, so why not clarify them?
I was only less than nice when posting because I felt like the first is not much different than the other threads. It is not the result of hard work, but looks more like a slapped-down response by someone tired of explaining the same thing over and over.
I could have been clearer, but don't regret what I said. If this minimal effort justified a whole thread (especially if it's to be stickied) there would be 1000 halfassed tutorials covering the first few pages by now. I appreciate the intent of OP, but the result shows he doesn't really care.
It's weird, because I'm not one of the "should have searched instead of making a new topic" hater... but seeing a new thread that aims to deliver without taking the time to do it right did bother me.

Sorry but our 4g is a bit different than the Evo, and is going to take some time to work out. Some of the best where working on the Evo to make it work and it took almost 5 months to get it semi solid and with 2.2 we can only hope for the best with 4g with Cyanogen.

Is there any way to get 4G working yet? I checked the search box and came across a few people that said ti was in the process...

Unfortunately there's no 4G yet. Someone can correct me but I believe the devs need the froyo source first.

Yeah.. I seriously agree.. We'd be a great community if there wasn't so many negative people.

I can understand flaming/negativeness towards OP's with less than common sense post, but "i'm more forum OG than you/more technically inclined" attitude some of these not so new members are replying with is deconstructive/emotionally immature.

Rather than bash people who don't measure up to your personal standards for contributions in this forum, show them how you do it.
was thinking about giving cyanogen a go,guess its pretty stable now,no reason not too

I don't think I've ever seen you contribute.. so instead of being a troll why not post useful info or just don't post at all?

Alright, There is a lot of useless posting in this thread. I'm going to sound like your Grandmother but, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"
Now, everyone be nice or I'll start handing out bans.
Thank you.
Have a great day.
Hello people! My friend has an Evo that is still on 2.1 and she wants to update to 2.3.3. The OTA isn't working (saying that there isn't an update) and when we called sprint tech support, they said that they would have to create a trouble ticket and go to the store. We called the closest store to her, and they are back up until tomorrow. I told her I could flash it manually (without rooting it)....but i should have kept my mouth shut, because I cannot find a normal 2.3.3. RUU, and am not sure if I should first up her to 2.2. then to 2.3 anyway (oops).
So now I'm on the hook, lol!
So, where can I find STOCK, NON ROOTED RUU's (I've checked the wiki)
And should I upgrade her to 2.2, then to 2.3?
Root is an option, I just didn't feel like doing it (I see Unrevoked would work for 2.1 still)
Thanks for any help guys!

Thanks, good to know that the job of a** hat is still available during the recession. Too bad none of the results answered my questions.
Thanks dude. I also found the RUU's over here.
I still don't know if I should step her up 2.1>2.2>2.3 or go straight to 2.3 though.

Maybe you should take your own advice. Read what I asked. Look at the "help" you gave me. Thanks.
Try lithid's method....search.

Seriously, when the EVO 3D and GS2 came out, did all the brains leave this forum? What part of "Stock, Unrooted" RUU is so difficult to comprehend....?
1. None of the links in his "search" had what I was looking for.
2. I found my own answer above (see post #5), and updated her hours ago.
3. Thanks to Tropicalbrit for actually reading my question....god.
Edit: Seriously, thanks Tropicalbrit. The XDA I once knew was better than this.
Some of us are still here, being adults

Then there are a couple teenagers like me, filling in for adults
HipKat, teh roxxorz, Lithid, dased14 (who mostly hangs out in Themes and Apps), and several others provide great help. They've answered plenty of my questions before.
Lithid did SalvageMod and Freedom kernel, dased14 makes dozens of flashable zips with themes and mods, HipKat and teh roxxorz have made guides for subjects of all sorts. Everyone has their own personalities though so its something to get used to.
Believe me when I say the Evo 4G forum is one of the better ones. I frequent basically every Sprint / Verizon phone forum and I cannot stand all of the whining and fights. We have a strong developing team and plenty of people qualified to answer questions.
I'm just here to fill in the cracks, my knowledge is limited. The forum is a bit confusing at times, but you'll get used to it. I'm here to keep the peace and help out as much as I can.
Okay. I got off-topic, I don't see relevance in this post anymore. Glad your problem is solved

I actually have no problem helping people, it's just people like you who piss and moan and yell at the people trying to help when they don't get exactly what they need in the first response. If you don't like the answers we give you, feel free to go do it yourself. Think the 3D forums are so great? Go buy and 3D and hang out over there.

Piss and Moan and Yell? Really? You did not just see lithid try to be a smartass, and ended up looking stupid?
You don't see yourself looking stupid along with him?
I don't care about "who's who" and "who did what", I'm not a Stan, and cheerleader is not on my resume. If you treat someone with respect, you get respect, point blank.
Look, I'm done. I solved my own problem (that I spelled out quite clearly I might add), and one guy actually read and understood and helped out too, for which I am grateful. Take care.

Only an RUU. An RUU is a .exe which wipes everything off your phone and returns the phone to bone HTC stock, that's all
