Trackpad Not Working - Desire General

Can anyone give me any advice.
After flashing Carbon ara theme V2.5.1 over a previous version and Leedroid 2.3d, I have noticed by OJ has stopped working. I have tried editing sms message using it but it is dead.
I then went into Clockwork recovery but is doesnt work there either. I managed to restore to a previous version using Rom Manager but the OJ is still dead. I am unsure if this is a hardware issue or I am not getting a full wipe using Rom manager.
Also as it doesnt work in recovery my options are limited as I cant select any options!
Help!
Update
My phone now has no rom and I cant get trackpad button to work to accept install zip in recovery. Is there another way of installing a rom without needing the trackpad button.

Send it in for repair. I am sure that you can use fastboot. Search the forums.

ah...can you click track pad buttom?
and if the buttom doesn't work, i recommend you send to manufacturer.

Trackpad is only functional inside custom recovery.
Use volume keys marked with + and -.

Thanks guys. Got the phone going again but still no scrolling. The click does work though.

Maybe not the answer that you are looking for, but there is a free widget in the Market called 'SilentMode OnOff'.
Once installed, you can add it to your desktop(?) as a widget (1x1). It is a button that has 3 states:
* Normal (not silent)
* Silent with vibrate
* Silent without vibrate
It's like a mini version of the stock widget that allows you to enable/disable wifi/bluetooth/GPS/sync/etc.
I find this easier than using the volume buttons on the side to make it silent before bed. Those buttons don't feel like they'll last very long anyway...
HTH,

It is possible to have the options you are talking about, I have them in my power menu, but you need a deodexed custom rom to get them.
It comes standard in leedroid and rcmixhd, and is an optional addon for android revolution.

Just hold down the vol- button. It will go to silent mode first, followed by silent with vibration.
There's an HTC widget called Profiles under Settings in the widget list. Does the job for me.

Yes custom ROMs such as the latest LeeDrOiD 1.3 / 1.3a have the power menu you describe when you hold the power button however be warned if you are flashing it make damn sure you have Radio S-Off using One Click Radio S-Off. You will need root access and Eng S-off using Clockwork Recovery but be sure you get RADIO S-OFF as if you don't you'll loose full super user access and get other restrictions that come with the latest 2.2.1 build by HTC that there is currently no fix for. believe me this is how my phone is now as this wasn't made clear on the guide on the LeeDrOiD page.

[Q] Help

I'm not sure, if I'm right here. I use this site for the first time.
So, I have a little problem, and maybe you can help me.
Yeah, it's right: I've a HTC Wildfire S.
Now:
You know the phone well I think. My english isn't that good. At the top of the smartphone there is a button with which you can unlock the display/screen. But right there is my problem. This button doesn't work anymore. And HTC won't to that for free.
My question is: Could somebody of you - if it isn't difficult - make a ROM or something like this to change it? So that I can use something different for it? Like the buttons on the display or the loudspeaker buttons?
And there is another question: How I could lock the screen, if this button doesn't work?
I hope you can help me!!
In fact this is not only lock/unlock button, but the power on/off button. If ever your phone gets off, it's dead.
It is not possible to remap the hardware buttons. don't you have guanrantee?
Yes, I know that. But with changing the battery the phone could power on..
Do you mean that you cant do something like I want?
Yes. It is not possible. There is a way to wake up your phone with vol. buttons in a custom rom and locking can be done automatically in the security settings. but when your power button does not work you will not be able to flash a custom rom.
Thanks. That's not that what I hope. But better than no answer
To the guarantee question..normally yes..but they say it's my fault..I dropped it...but yes I dropped it but after 3 weeks the phone doesn't work..can tsomething like that be?
Try claiming on insurance for accidental damage.

Root using GUI on xda, install cwm recovery by alquez, install rom manager using insinks workaround then using rom manager install Henry's Hensemod that allows you to wake by volume

Did you try to put off the button and see if you can "fix" it manually?
I mean, if a small piece of plastic is broken, you should be able to stick it...
I don't know the exact condition, I'm just guessing and trying to help you.
since wfs has only 3 buttons, u broke the third of your phone.... and to make things worse, its power button ...
why dont you go to some phone service, and see if they could fix that button, it shouldnt be expencive, i did that on my htc tytn II....
First of all, I want to thank you all !

Thanks, benjamingwynn. I'm waiting 24/7.
Okay 5 days later I come back. I'm sorry for the lateness but I never normally go on XDA on my PC so getting links = problem. Here's step by step instructions:
1) IF YOUR NOT S-OFF - Use HTCDEV and unlock the bootloader.
2) IF YOU DONT HAVE CUSTOM RECOVERY/ARE NOT ROOTED - Click here, sign up, click on resources then click testing resources. Download the Auto-Installer GUI. Run the installer (Windows?) and then install cwm recovery and root.
3) Download Rom Manager from the Android market
4) Download Hensemod here, flash it using rom manager.
5) Enjoy Henry's wake by volume feature his amazing sense rom.
Any problems then DON'T BE AFRAID TO CONTACT ME! I will always reply even if it is a few days later.

Useless after factory reset (not "bricked" tho)

did a factory reset on my rooted (zerg rush method) R800x.
everything was fine after reboot. the set up prompts for Google Acct. etc, even activated OTA & the phone and receives calls. only problem is the launcher is toast. so nothing works...
i cant find a way to get in to settings or anything so i cant install a laucher or really do anything else for that matter. i can get USB storage to work but the PC will only see the SD card. i can pull up the KB by holding the menu button and holding the home button will bring up the last used programs (but there arent any). volume rocker adjust the vol correctly. its like everything works there just isnt a launcher?
dont really know what to do here. im assuming i removed something i shouldn't have on the previous install in the quest for free space and now after a reset the phone wont work right with out that file, or somthing...
tried to "repair" the phone with the Sony tool thing and NOTHING on the Sony web site seemed to work.
is there any way to flash the stock Rom back to the phone? i dont need a custom Rom but if thats my only option im up for it. i just need to get this thing working again.
any words of advice are greatly appreciated.
figured it out. used flash tool and the file: R800x_4.0.2.E.57_Verizon.ftf
successfully flashed to 2.3.4 :victory:
Or you could just email yourself a launcher apk.

[Q] No response from Clockwork Recovery

Hello,
Yesterday i tried rooting my phone for the first time, following the Cyaogenmod wiki for Desire Z. And everything worked without any problems, until
i arrive at the Clockwork Recovery mode step. I get no response when i try to select an option, all I get is a picture of the Clockwork logo, and nothing happens.
I have been googling for a solution, but seems like it is a quite rare(?) problem, and since im pretty new in this rooting business im not sure of what to try.
I have however sucessfully "installed" the Andromadus Mimicry ROM using the Rom Manager app.
But since i have to flash Gapps to be able to use market, im still stuck because of the need for Clockwork to work.
Does anybody have any idea of what i can try to do to fix this?
P.S. pardon the english, not my native tongue
Best Regards
Are you using the power button or the trackball to select in clockwork?
Also consider updating to a touch based recovery, 4ext is amazing but at least go fo clockwork touch

Wow...is this for real..?
I've been using the power button all this time, so i tried using the trackball like u suggested and it works!
Feel like such a moron...
Thanks for the help(and the fast reply)!
No problem, it happens to many so don't worry about it
I do still suggest an upgrade though, life will become much better, here's how

Rom install problem

Hi,
I am trying to install the viperone m8 rom onto Sprint Htc One M8. I have rooted, TWRP and S-off. When I try to flash the rom, the touch screen stops working and I have to use the hardware keys, blindly hoping to hit the quit installation button. Every video I watch, the touch screen works perfectly. What am I doing wrong???
Running 4.4
TWRP 2.7.0.2
Thanks in advance!

Using Sprint... I believe it's an issue with aroma and the Sprint version of TWRP. You're not the only one...

Thanks for the reply. Anyway to work around the problem?
There was something about this on a different twrp port on the portal I think. Moto E maybe? Either way their fix was to just hit lock twrp then unlock it. Power button locks it as far as I know. If that don't work maybe a hardware key designed recovery will suit you better until this is fixed.

Awesome I'll look into it. Thanks for your response.
I am having the same problem with my sprint m8, any fixes yet?
