[Q] Home button and recovery - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I have strange problem. My home button doesn't work but I'm able to go into recovery and download (by 3-button combo). I changed plenty firmwares with pit and repartition with no success. Anyone can help??

boot into recovery, try and 'fix permissions' and also there is an option of 'key test' or something similar to that.
what ROM was you on / flashed when this problem arose ??

On criscelo v.3.7 after aplying fugu kernel. I will try what you said and report.

fugu kernel, there you go thats your culprit
flash a different kernel thru odin or recovery and i bet you that fixes the issue.

But as I said I changed plenty firmwares with repartition. So I don't think I would help a lot...
Ok i tried to fix permisions and key test. On key test it doesn't show that my home button works - but still I am able to go into recovery and download with 3 button. So home button in some way works. However it doesn't work in recovery and in rom. So it's hardware related or I should try anything else?? But how it can be hardware related as I can go into recovery and download...

thats the mystery puzzling my mind too lol.
it most definitely cant be hardware related. does recovery and download mode work EVERYTIME without fail ??
what was the oldest firmware you flashed ?? may i recommend going way way back to eclair. something like JM1 with a 512PIT ??

Yes I can enter recovery and download always.
I can try even older than JM1 if it would help. But ok will try JM1. Just install with re-partition and check if it help or anything else??

yea but make sure it comes in all 3 files. phone modem csc. and add the 512 PIT, and make sure re-partition is checked.
then report back good luck i have my fingers crossed for ya !

It didn't work :/ What to do now. Mayby there is any code to fix home button firmware or something :/
It's really strange. I can try even older firmware.

i dont think that FW is going to be the issue,
this seems a little more complex then i originally thought
phone does still work tho right ??
try this app i have attached and see if you can fix it..
if not we gonna need some help from a nice helpful friendly developer lol.

Still no sucess :/
Probably I will give it on warranty...

oh dear !!
i really thought we would of cracked it by now.
i have no more ideas. i wish i could help even more.
its such sad news (for me) when a SGS has to be sent away for repairs.
i always feel as if its a child being sent into foster care, thats how it makes me feel

It was sarcasm or how I should get this??

It occurs that I have home button pushed all the time. So I can enter recovery and download without pressing home button. Is there simply way to fix this or only warranty?

No confused was the dazzler as he could not help .
My view is always flash stock Eclair rom with pit and repartition to rule out software/rom error leaving only hardware problem .

I initially had david rom v4 when this happened, so i flashed version 6. the screenshot i posted are of version 6 but as am typing this am flashing back to v4.
Okay, if you have flashed V4 back, do a hardreset after flashing. if that does not work either i'm afraid i'm out of options. You could try to install the drivers again to see what happens. Otherwise you should wait for someone who knows something else to try?
good luck

sORRY for the late reply...I put the phone in boot loader mode by pressing the down button and pressing the power button. then you can plug the usb cable then you can run the customrru.exe upgrade file.
ok guys, first off, I'm glad you (saayinla) got your issue sorted. But try and keep this thread on topic, i.e. phone stuck in boot screen etc. If this thread starts turning into a Q&A with all sorts of issues and people asking new questions after original question answered I'll close thread.

Just out of curiosity did you HSPLed you devide with the last version of HSPL? I've seen this screen once and it was because of old HSPL with 1.56/1.57 ROM used!
No i did not, i still have the HArdspl thats been on since january..Olinex something cant rememeber what versio...

Your described procedure to falsh a modem is fully correct.
Did you ever try to switch Airplane mode on/off in such a situation?
Even more did you see at all any network by using the search functionality in that case?

No network or Sim registered after flashing juwe's v.5
Hey! Hope you are all well. I'm quite desperate to find out what may be the problem I describe below could be.
I just flashed Juwe's Rom and all went well untill my phone had finished booting up. My Galaxy S i9000 doesn't register it has the sim inside. I've tried a number of times to re-insert it with the same result. I have the signal bar in my notifications with a little x above.
Any help would be very much appreciated as I desperately need this phone for business.
Thank you in advance
hey once the same happened to me when i installed sh 3.6.1, after i install my sim wouldnt register,going back to the previous version my sim worked...so i changed my kernel to fugu and flashed 3.6.1 again everything worked fine... try this might help u !!

[Q] I've done it

So let's assume that I flashed my Captivate all the way up to ICS. Only problem is, I flashed the GTi-9000 version, whereas I have a SGH-897. It works, however I get no audio output from my internal speaker.
This however is not my problem, as I cannot boot into any recovery/download mode. Button combos (Adjusted to what I've found the softbuttons to have changed to), ADB reboots, nothing works. I cannot get into any form of recovery.
I now ask for help, from you lovely folks. I know I done goofed, and I'm looking at performing the Unbrickable mod, once other attempts have shown to be fruitless.
So, is there any way to flash back to stock without being able to go to download/recovery mode?
Flash a stock ROM. Follow the sig link below to Mikes Safe KF1. Flash it, you should be back to stock I897 GB.

Well, the problem being is that I can't get to the proper place needed in order to flash anything. I've gotten as far as ADB atleast being able to interface with it, however.

Should get you going
On aosp Roms and reboot download doesn't work. You need button combos or a jig.
If you've flashed i9000 bootloaders then the button combos will have changed.
Volume up and power for recovery
Volume down and power for download mode.
This is how people hard brick... Did you not read or thought it would work out of the box?
Dear god, the method for inserting the cable whilst holding up and down actually worked. I had tried every single other one, only with negligence to that one. Thanks. I really couldn't believe this one when I got to the download screen. I had been brute-forcing almost every combo imaginable - except I hadn't tried slipping the usb cable in inbetween them.
edit:My problem was one of mis-reading, my eyesight is sometimes a little iffy. I downloaded a few different ICS roms, and then went to look through them to see which I wanted to install. I then went and copied it onto my phone, and mistakenly placed a copy of ICS meant for the i9000, instead of my i897. How I didn't realize that when I flashed it, beats me.
I now have the proper version installed however, and all is working fine. Still can't believe it! But damn, what a hearty little phone this is. An idiot can install entirely different firmware for it and still recover.

Don't delete it. You made a mistake and then recovered from it. You should be proud of that! Way to go!
I can sure empathize I flashed the ics "value pack" that was leaked. That was for a different phone to, and I recovered.

On a side note. i9000 icssgs can be used on our i897 just need a reoriented kernel
Agree with above

What i8190 version have you got. Regular or N/L version?
Have you tried stock rom with odin yet?
If you did use odin, did you flash stock recovery first, or was it included in the firmware package?
i have regular version

Try go to servicemenu. Somewhere in there there's a choice to restore/rebuild NV_Data. Don't know if it works, but it might be worth a try

I don't have stock rom now so I can't guide you through the whole menu, but lets get you started..
First open up dialpad and enter *#0011#
A screen with RF status or something will appear.
Now use your menu-key to bring up some uptions and choose "back".
Now I don't remember if that will take you to default servicemenu or if you have to go back one more time using the menu-key once again.
Anyway..I think option to restore NV_Data is somewhere under the debug menu..
You'll have to browse the menus back and fourth, couse I can't remember where it is exactly. I just know it's in there somewhere
when i pushed nv rebuild :
MENU NOT EXIST
PRESS BAC KEY
Current command is 3335
omg i didnt thought that such small drivers update is such a pain in a**
by now i have no more ideas how to bring back my baseband from XXXX to normal
but as i think modem.bin is responsible for that
DAMN!
So whats missing?
Do you have root so you can look for /modemfs & /efs-folder?
thread closed
tys0n RESPECT :good:
worked nv rebuild at 2nd time
phone said - rebuilded, pls restart.
again MEGA thnx
GREAT!
Can you please add [solved] in the title?.

NE3 (kitkat) which is easily rootable, which you can then go to lollipop (and keep root) easily enough from there, should you wish. MF1 is ancient, no wonder it's giving you issues.
Even if you don't need or want root, go with NE3. It's the most stable of the recent builds, and from there you can either stay on kitkat or easily upgrade to lollipop, with or without root.

DON'T use kies. Trust me on that. The download link you asked for. Extract all four files and use all four concurrently with Odin should look like:

I would strongly recommend using Odin v3.09 if you aren't already, I have it for you if you need. Yes I realize the picture shows 3.07 but trust me I've done this a million times
Alright I'm gonna do it right now hopefully no errors occur I'm gonna post to tell you what happens
Oh! I should mention, when you do this, your phone will automatically reboot on its own a couple times, and one of those times will be to the stock android recovery. This is completely normal, just leave your phone alone and let Odin do its thing. I say this because I've seen so many people freak out when their phone starts doing stuff on its own. Just let Odin go, it knows what it's doing. Good luck!
