My power button is no longer working and I need to unroot in order to get repaired through sprint. With no power button I can't flash through recovery. I'm not familiar with adb push but I have used button remapper to gain access to my reboot options and to wake the phone. Can anyone help me please???
Update*** seems the power button works to select in bootloader but still not in recovery??? Need to find a way to get S ON without recovery
ISSUE RESOLVED I USED ROM MANAGER'S INSTALL ROM FROM SD FUNCTION AND PICKED THE S-ON ZIP AFTER THIS INSTALLED I PULLED THE BATTERY AND HELD VOL DOWN AS I REPLACED IT THEN USED HBOOT TO INSTALL THE PC36IMG FILE WOOT!
The button is just a cosmetic cover for a micro switch. Can you stick a pen in there or do you need to take it apart to gain access
Wat I would do is report it as lost or stolen make a new story or tell them that some one dropped in the toilet its still going to be one hundred no matter what

my power button just stopped working, i need to unroot to see if sprint will fix it, im rooted with the kingdom virus b1.3 rom, i have a custom splash screen which i was told i need to change back to the original before i unroot, i found an app that allows me to reboot into the bootloader screen but once it does it always freezes and it never ask me to update the pc36img file or whatever...is it because on the virus rom i had to partition the sd card or something? is there a manual way or something to change the splash screen? also if i can get the splash screen back to stock how would i go about unrooting with no power button?
thanks
I am having the HARDEST time getting my phone to S-ON. My power button is also not working, prohibiting me from using recovery to flash anything. I used unrevoked3 to root my phone and I am trying to get S-On with the S-ON zip to no avail. I do the same as you and flash it through ROM manager, it flashes the zip but doesnt go back to recovery, instead it restarts the phone on its own and back to my ROM. I then go to the bootloader and still says S-Off. I've done this about 3 times with still the same S-Off in the bootloader. I don't want to run the PC36IMG until I KNOW i've achieved the S-On. Where am I going wrong here? It has me frustrated to no end...
Hi my screen went out and i am doing a warranty replacement so i want to flash the recovery blind can some one walk me through the steps if i have the file on the root of the SD?
I think all you would hav to do is get the pc10img on the root sd, hold down plus power then let go of power and keep holding down for another second. At this point it would bring up the bootloader and be scanning for the pc10img. I can't remember if it scans for the img IMMEDIATELY, or if you have to hit volume to have it select the BOOTLOADER option and then it scans, try it both ways. After let's say 30 seconds to be on the safe side, hit volume up to confirm u want to install the image. Don't touch your phone for awhile. They way you will know if it is working is, in the middle of the process you should feel a vibrate, cause when restoring a full pc10img, it has to reboot halfway through the process then continues. Fyi, pc10img won't get s back on. U would have to temp root stock rom and use gfree to turn it back on. Good luck!

thanks man ima try it right now.
So while trying to unroot my Droid Incredible, I managed to brick it. Basically, I used what was on theunlockr.com and it didn't work out. I did this process:
How To: Unroot the HTC Incredible | TheUnlockr
Basically, I downloaded the PB31IMG.zip file and placed it on the root of the SD. I then rebooted into HBOOT, ran the update, and rebooted. Now the phone won't turn on. I try going into HBOOT (volume down+power) and just regular boot and neither are working. After pulling the battery and replacing it, I press and hold the power key to have it do a quick vibrate one time, but still nothing happens with the screen.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

If you cant get into hboot, and you cant boot normaly, im sorry to say you have bricked your phone.
You could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825960.
Also try reformating your sdcard fat32, then put a stock PB31IMG.zip on the sd. Hold down power and vol down for 10 secs then release and wait for 10 mins then press vol up. After a couple secs the phone may then reboot, wait another 15 mins and press vol up again. Hopefully then it will restart and boot like normal. It basicly blind flashing an ruu, it may work if the phone is on and responding but you just cant see screen output.

which screen type do you have amoled or slcd? sounds like you might have flashed the wrong one.
anyways. try the ruu.exe method instead
http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-...mplest-instructions-ever-windows-xp-only.html
no need to see the screen if you let the pc do the work for you.
Thanks! I completely forgot about this posting. I'll have to give these methods a try.

Hi guys,

and then installed this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531218
I got all the way to flash a new ROM in clockwork mod, then i got to the very end, said reboot now. I did now it hangs on the HTC screen, then vibrates once, then fahes into a dark brown screen, then just a black screen.
Any ideas?

HBOOT
FASTBOOOT
RECOVERY
IMAGE RESET
SIMLOCK
IMG REC
when i press the volume keys nothing happens, then about 5 seconds after it changes to a different screen
with this..
Checking SD
pd98xxx.zip
etc etc
then says parsing....(SD ZIP)
then do i want to start the update?
It seems that its doing something like unlocking the bootloader or something, im actually confused!

Above where it says FASTBOOT and such, there should be some other identifying information. It will say S-ON or S-OFF. However, if you used AAHK, you should be S-OFF. What happens if you say no to the update and choose RECOVERY? (Use volume keys to move up and down.) Does ClockworkMod start?

After you refuse the update, try to navigate to RECOVERY. If that works, you can then flash your ROM from inside CWM Recovery. It could just be a bad flash. If that still doesn't work, the download is probably bad. Just redownload it and reflash.

If i refuse update, the only option that i can press is press power off for reboot. Thats it, there is no way to press recovery, unless i can go back to the first screen? but there is nothing visual that lets me do that.
I think im going to cry haha

My bad, I forgot that happens. Hey, don't worry. If I can't get it working, there's hopefully someone here who can.
Try moving that zip off the sdcard root. You should be able to do that with adb, which you should have with AAHK. ADB instructions are at the thread in my signature. Or, if you have an sdcard reader, use the to get the zip moved off the sdcard root. Place it in a folder in the sdcard.

I'm being startlingly stupid. Try removing the sdcard altogether and boot into HBOOT. After it boots, replace the sdcard and boot into recovery. Does that work? From there, you should be able to move the zip.

Hi, when i remove the sdcard I can now move the vol buttons up and down and i put the sc card back in before pressing recovery, same thing happens goes to htc startup then browns out then black screen, tried again without putting it in and same thing.... so do you think i just need to remove update.zip?

I think moving update.zip will at least help you figure out whether you have a working recovery. I'm not sure if you're getting into recovery; if you aren't, try booting into recovery before inserting the sdcard, then mounting it in recovery if it doesn't do so automatically.

Try entering recovery before putting the sd card back in.

Just so I'm clear. You're rebooting while holding power+volumedown without sdcard, getting into HBOOT, and selecting RECOVERY. It then goes to the HTC splash screen and fades to black. Is that accurate? You're never getting into recovery?

The only thing I can think of is that you need to flash a recovery using the hack kit. When you ran the hack kit what happened?

I should have asked this first. I just assumed that since he was S-OFF and had gotten into CWM that AAHK ran fine. Sorry about that, OP.

When i used the hack kit. It was fine, i was on a higher software version, so i used the hack kit to downgrade, then used it again, and did everything, set the phone up, installed clockwork mod, then downloaded a rom in the original post, then went to update. seemed to update fine, after the rom installed it said press install success, press power to reboot. then thats it!
