Hey Guys,
READ THE WHOLE TEXT BEVORE POSTING SOMETHING PLS!
my friend gave me his GNexus, cause he has a lot of trouble with it,
first off all, o friend of him, just typed in the wrong code again and again, so his phone got locked, afterwards he tried to login to
his google account which didnt worked, he changed his password, tried again, it isnt working,
on the google side on his computer its working, but on the handy not,
it would be easy to restore the handy if he had an download mode, but thats the second problem,
the volume lower key is broken, so it is not working, any advices how to unlock that phone?
Thanks in advance

fix the broken button, wipe data/factory reset from the recovery, then go from there.

he could try a jig to force ODIN mode... but yeah best bet is to fix the volume button.

yea, i thought of that too, but am very unfamiliar with it. fixing the volume key should be fairly inexpensive thankfully.

would this work?
// repairing the volume button is not possible, the sendet it already to a few handy repair guys, all sayed its to expensive to repair it, >200€

Do it yourself. If you can't figure out how to repair a volume rocker you don't have any place trying to use a jig.

How can i perform a hard reset without power button`s?
I have tried a reset with the buttons but it doesn't work for me.
Can somebody tell me how it works maybe with adb please?

You have to spam the switch a few times, once doesn't usually work to start factory reset, move it back and forth a few times. Timing is everything.
Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - PAC v22.1.1

Okay, no it`s working!
Timing is the key thats right.
Thanks guys!

[Q] Few questions from a Noob

Hello, since I had my sprint lg optimus g, I played a lot with it, because we don't have sprint here in Venezuela, so I had to set the phone to be used here. It seems that i play too much whit it and bring it to a hard brick, the phone does nothing, not even recognized by the pc. So I wonder if this can be arranged in any way? If the screen of this model can be put to the international model with no problems? If the logic board of the international version can work with the rest of the hardware of this version? In advance thank you very much.

What happens when you hold volume down button and power together? It should bring up the factory recovery and you should be able to do a hard reset. Press power again to do the reset.

I have the exact same issue there. Originally my phone was on AT&T rom and i changed it for Panama rom. It worked correctly for 3 months and now the home and back buttons doesn't works. More specific: They are working on the wrong way. For example when i touch the back button, the phone think i touched the screen above. So if i'm in the apps menu and i touch the back button, it loads the first app above the button in the screen's bottom-left corner. Factory reset doesn't helps

So what should we do now? Because if i'm not alone with this problem, it should be maybe just software problem, and maybe a rom re-install can help. Some people told me that it's a hardware isssue but i dont find the point because i used the phone carefully, it newer was dropped. The buttons stopped working this way, while i used the phone for web browsing.

Guys I had the exact same problem, thought it was software problem. Later I took it to lg service and they changed the whole panel which would have cost me Rs 8000. Fortunately I had it under warranty(although rooted I unrooted it first before taking my phone to them ) So I assure you this is a symptom with our G Pros. The screen gets really hot and this causes the problem, its a hardware design fault. For temporary solution u can use software keys which can be downloaded from the playstore

Your in the stock recovery pal. Hold down the power and volume keys and you will eventually get some options on the screen. Once they come up use the volume buttons to scroll and power to select. Btw, i suspect you have a htc wildfire S not the htc wildfire. So this would be the wrong forum for you if your phone does not have a trackpad at the bottom of the screen (looks like a circle with a dot in it) then you have the S model.

HTC Wildfire
Thanks for Replying back Its not letting me to run recovery and on the top of it if the phone boots up it take almost 20 minutes to get to the home screen and it hang sup their itself you can't even do anything on it and i am trying to unlock the boot loader to run recovery and install custom rom on it but nothing working out. I do have a trackpad on this mobile and i checked over the internet also and its Model number is A3333. So Please help me what all option that i can use on this mobile right now as i am totally new to Flashing Android Mobiles.

Okay, pull the battery out. Then put it back in after 5 seconds. Hold down volume down, then power and keep both pressed down until a wite screen with some writing comes up. There it should say hboot, a version number and s-on or s-off. What does yours say?

Ah ha! Fantastic whoever else had this phone before you has done most of the hard work and security unlocked the bootloader already. http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.c...zip?key=kzoSRLwAaSgJsyXiuKJS4A&ts=1431506306 download this and place it onto your sdcard. Reboot into hboot and your hboot should request you to update the recovery. Select yes with volume up. After this you should reboot back into hboot without the sdcard in. Then select recovery from hboot and boot into it.
Once your in recovery you could either:
1. Wipe the data, cache and dalvik cache and then reboot the phone. This will reset the phone and hopefully fix and voot related issues.
2. Wipe the phone entirely and install a new rom. Cyanogenmod 7 is a good lightweight rom. Please look at the development section for all the roms available.
Just one question though, that screen damage looks like bad. Do you know what happened?

Hello Bro
Link that you have shared is not working so please share some other link and please help me to get the best rom for this mobile and please provide me step to step instruction to do it.

Ok

Already Tried
Well Bro tried that and its now working no option i am getting in recovery and just a phone logo with red mark that what i shared in first screenshot in this thread

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?398dklf1uzss5f6 Updated link.
As I have said I recommend Cyanogenmod 7. Read the thread here Its a custom version but its more recent.
Now your screen, I suspect that those marks are from heat damage. Most likely from whoever else had the phone overclocking it. This could be a telltale sign of hardware damage through excessive use and it may never boot properly. I thought I should mention that.

Well i thats case would like to ask one more thing we will be able to fix it or not or its not worth it.

Depends, this phone is an old model as far as mobile phones are concerned. the cost of a motherboard and new lcd + digitizer could be the same cost as the phone in a used condition.
I work it out as £23.13 as the cheapest you could get the parts but then you would need to do a full tear down of the device in order to replace most of it. I mean basically your only keeping the frame, trackball, camera and some rubber bits.
Cheapest I can find to buy it in the uk is £25 ( with you needing to sim unlock it).
But I would add that you might as well try get cm7 on the device. The only thing it will cost you is time and you never know, the phone might be usable with CM7 on it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

OK bro let me first give a try with the cm7 rom and see if its work and hoping for the best

Sorry, i forgot to mention, the controls for the recovery are different from hboot. Push trackball to select items, power is now the back button.

let me give a try and see if its work i installed the rom from Sd card ad restarted the mobile and hoping this will work now

I tried to install stock rom that i have downloaded from HTC Website and that is not getting installed lets hope CM7 will work i can see the ultrabeam revolutionary Logo on the screen right now its still thinking up
