[HELP] Power/End, Call, Menu, Home and Back Buttons not Working on G1

So, this didn't happen until the other day, but suddenly, my Power/End, Call, Menu, Home and Back buttons aren't working on my G1. The only way I could get the phone to power up was to plug it into a USB, and then place the battery in to force a boot. I can't reset anything, leave screens, accept calls, or do anything really because of this issue, and it's debilitating.
Before you tell me to search, I'll tell you that I've already searched multiple times. I know the rules of the forums, and I wouldn't have created a new thread if the issue had already been solved by a previous thread. However, if I missed a thread that could help, rather than saying "SEARCH FOR CHRIST'S SAKE", I'd appreciate a link.
Thanks, guys. XDA has always been useful to me, and I really just want a solution, since the G1 has been the best phone I've ever had.
If it matters, I'm using Cyanogen 4.1.11.1, with the 2.6.29.6-cm41 kernel. I'd upgrade, but I can't, since my home button isn't working.

Try wiping, enter terminal or use adb shell "reboot recovery" to enter the reboot screen. Once you have wiped or reflashed, use "reboot"

I can't wipe or flash, because I need the home button.

I know, to enter recovery without using the home button user adb shell reboot recovery

Yes, but how do I wipe from there? When I select wipe, it asks me to press the home button.

Oh my you really seem to have dug yourself into a hole here... not good. Hmm. Try wiping from the Settings on your phone, there is a factory reset on there.

"No reset was performed because the System Clear service was not available."
Is there a way to wipe from the console, or adb shell?

Now thats a right proper one mate..anyway how do you tuen her on if the button doesnt work?

You can use fastboot to clear your data partition (userdata). But this doesn't sound like a software issue if the buttons aren't even working within recovery/bootloader, it sounds more like a hardware issue. I would take it up with T-Mobile or HTC.

I was able to turn it on by plugging in the battery while it was plugged in via USB, but now that doesn't even work. I have a feeling that I just wiped the entire system, as I can only access the fastboot, and when I try to boot normally, I just get stuck at the white G1 screen. So it seems I have two issues now. Any solutions for either? Unfortunately, my G1 is 5 days out of warranty, too.

If you can access fastboot, then you can flash RC29 and start from the beginning again or you can flash a nandroid backup that you can get from your sdcard to your PC.

Any idea how to flash a nandroid backup or downgrade to RC29 if I don't have working power, home, menu, or call buttons? Like, is there a guide?

Nobody has any solution that doesn't require me to get a replacement phone? I'm willing to pay for a solution. I'm in dire need of this phone. I hate the Blackberry Curve so much.

I think your phone is pretty shot. Even if you do manage to get into a ROM, it seems unlikely that your buttons will come back to life. Without being able to use the home or back buttons, you'll be stuck in whatever application you opened until you restart your phone.
If you want to try it out, you can flash an old nandroid backup by first, copying system.img, data.img, and boot.img from the nandroid folder and pasting it in the same folder as your fastboot. Then, boot into the bootloader and type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot reboot
which will restore the nandroid backup.

SOLUTION
I found a fix for this problem on another Android forum, essentially you install "Anycut" from the markey and create a shortcut to the "setup wizard", I had a three setup wizards, the third one worked for me and ran all the way through the phone setup, the others just exited as soon as I selected SKIP. It works, prior to that my HOME, MENU and CALL buttons were not working. I think that a faulty update.zip must have caused permission issues with the software, I had installed some new fonts and straight after I lost the buttons!

N1 wont boot into bootloader! Instead goes to OS

Facts:
Ive searched the site multiple times, cannot find the same issue elsewhere
Ive unlocked my bootloader and rooted my N1, so I know how to access the bootloader/recovery
When I hold down the rollerball and hit power to start the N1, it boots straight to the OS, not the bootloader menu
The OS is: Android 2.2, Build FRF50, Kernel [email protected] #5
The OS doesnt show a cell signal
The OS has lines through moving graphics
The OS crashes to the X graphic with the moving colors about every 30sec to 2 minutes
I can access abd-mac commands via usb, but ./adb-mac reboot recovery just reboots my phone back to the OS again
I tried http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/RE-recovery-img
but the last step of ./adb-mac shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
comes back with "error opening /sdcard/recovery.img: No such file or directory
Im sure the recovery.img is on the sd card
in the gui of the OS I tried looking at the available space of the sd, and it states sd- unavailable
available space - unavailable.
Any more ideas?

I can think of three options:
boot to fastboot by holding the trackball while turning on the phone (you say this doesn't work)
boot to bootloader by holding volume down while turning on the phone
if your OS is stable enough, try installing "Quick Boot" from the market (it requires root). That app has the option to reboot to either bootloader, or recovery

just follow this guide forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636795 no such file is because you have to put the recovery image in the root folder of the sd card in other words it should'nt be within another folder when you open and view your sd card.

Thanks slickynice, but recovery.img is on the root of the sd card.

Thanks pikipirs. vol down while booting doesnt do anything for me either. I cant access anything with market. Is there a way to manually install the "quick boot" app with abd-mac?

Try something like rom manager or quickboot and see if they can get you into recovery?

Hold on, I'll find the APK for the free clockworkmod rom manager.

Actually he hasn't posted an APK, why can't you get it from market again?

My OS isnt stable enough, I have no radio, so I connect via wifi. When I go to the market, it says Loading.... and then the OS crashes to the X graphic with flying colors.... and the market is closed again.

Does ADB work?

Yes, adb-mac command works, but ./adb-mac reboot recovery or ./adb-mac reboot bootloader doesnt boot into the recovery or bootloader, instead it just restarts the phone back to the OS.
Thats why if I can get something to install via adb, I can do it that way, and hopefully get it to the bootloader to install a working rom.

is it stable enough to try to run an app?

amazingly trivial suggestion here, but have you attempted to reset to factory defaults from inside the system? Perhaps this will give you just enough stability to accomplish a recovery load so you can get your phone back to a happy state.
Of course, I have no idea why that would resolve your issue but nobody has suggested it yet and your situation sorta sucks
Best of luck!!

Thanks for your suggestions. Yes, it freezes up when I try to do factory defaults again. But I did a factory default before I put the bad rom on it, so its pain without any apps currently. Some apps will work like the browser for a few minutes. Not many other apps to use, since it was wiped prior.

Well, looks like Im going to send it to HTC. They said it will be $196+ to fix it. They have to replace the main board which, if its the only issue, is $196. Ill be shipping it out tomorrow. Anyone with any last suggestions before I bite the bullet on $200? I guess it beats buying the phone again for $580!

Try volume down and power to boot?

Tried it, just boots to the OS still.

Try safe mode? Turn it off, wait for the X and the unlock icon, then hold trackball until it boots. Should say "Safe mode" in the lower left corner. Might be able to get it running stable and fix from there.

I am able to boot to safe mode.... but Im not sure what I can do while in it that I cant do while in the OS otherwise.

[Q] Hard reset screen / reboot loop

Symptoms:
Phone boots to the 3 Android boot screen with Fastboot bootloader. It will not load regularly.
I cannot make a menu choice until I push the trackball. This is not how the menu screen worked before.
I was doing a hard reset because the digitizer was acting up. I have not used this phone much until recently. I purchased it on ebay last year (for the accessories) but have only used it the last three weeks.
Hard resets were becoming less effective resetting the digitizer, which would act up more quickly with each reset.
I may have changed the default bootloader. I was using "clear storage" under hboot, but the phone now starts in fastboot. I have now pushed all number of combinations of menu options.
The phone has never been rooted (as far as I know.)
I cannot mount the phone to the computer via usb. "USB device not recognized...." but "fastboot" does become "fastboot usb" The command adb.exe devices lists no devices.
I have installed sdk but no usb drivers were installed in any of the packages.
So my question is: what do I need to do to have the phone start normally?
Bonus question: I was going to replace the digitizer, but is the digitizer a problem or a symptom of a bigger problem (and thus a waste of time replacing)?
Great welcome to the forum video. My apologies if this question has been asked a dozen times before, but I didn't find an answer. And of course,
"Thanks."

Well, now, thats quite a predicament The N1 digitizer has always been quirky and I've encountered many an occasion where I had to turn off the screen and turn it back on to continue typing.
I have a few questions on this :
a) Are you sure your phone wasnt rooted and a custom ROM wasn't flashed on?
b) Are you able to access recovery from the bootloader screen?
Since you are able to access fastboot, you can:
1) unlock your bootloader
2) Flash su (gain root if you dont have it)
3) Place a custom ROM (CM7 preferably) onto your SD card and flash it.
Hopefully, this should get your phone back on track.

A--I am not sure that the phone wasn't rooted, I bought it on ebay, but I own another N1 that I've used and the OS and functionality seemed identical. I believe that the seller said it was not rooted. I'm not sure how to root a phone, but perhaps I did something after getting into the menu.
B-- I am able to access recovery, I think. When I press the recovery option I get a vibration, the four colored star, a blank screen for a few seconds and finally a robot and a warning symbol. I'm not able to do any further.
1--I'll have to read up on unlocking the bootloader--I'm not sure, but don't believe I can unlock it at this point. I do have the option for either fastboot or hboot, but choosing either one and restarting leads to the same result.
2--I don't believe I can flash SU, again I'll need to read up on the procedure, but...
3--Windows responds when attach the phone via usb, but says it recognize the the device. I cannot access the SD card from explorer. I thought that maybe I need additional drivers, but don't find any that may be of use. Because Windows can't read the SD card, I don't think I can flash with a custom ROM.
However, there may be procedures I'm not aware of.
Thanks.

You don't need to have your phone connected to the USB of your computer to transfer data. Remove your SD card, place it in an SD Card adapter/reader and connect it to your laptop/PC. Copy your su.zip and custom rom zip file and place it in there.
Now, use standard instructions to do root your phone:
http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/16/how-to-root-the-htc-nexus-one/
a) Download the latest Clockwork Mod recovery to your PC
b) Now boot your phone in HBOOT mode ( the only option possible )
c) Since fast boot is working, unlock your bootloader using the instructions given in the link above
d) After this, reboot into HBOOT again, and this time, flash on the recovery.
e) Now reboot into recovery, and first flash su.zip ( to gain root access )
f) once that is done, flash your ROM. (wipe everything except SD card)
Hopefully, this should get the good ole N1 back.

Resolved--hardware problem--trackball
Coincidentally, another user had a very similar experience with his N1 at the same time. He determined it was his trackball. I tore my phone apart, disconnected the trackball and the phone now works again.
Thanks again to those two people who responded.

[Q] LG L90 D315 bricked without recovery access etc

So this is my first xda thread. I spent hours searching without finding a solution for my particular case.
I am using a LG L90 D415 (T-Mobile version) and I got bored of it and so I started playing with the system (not the first phone I'm doing that with, so I know a bit about that sutff). So I tried to install the new Android L home launcher from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2796019
I did everything like explained, installed it and changed the build.prop like described. But after I rebooted my phone, expecting a new home launcher, the phone boots, I am at the lockscreen, but after like 4 seconds I receive multiple errors (like gapps stopped working) and than everything freezes and it reboots.
Unfortunaly I didn't install a recovery or unlocked fastboot. So I can access download mode, but that's it. My computer doesn't see my phone (because usb debugging deactivated?) and so I don't know what to do. I think that's a pretty tough case but I hope some smart person can help me
Thank you

No custom recovery and no fastboot? Factory reset is your only option. See this post. Scroll down to Q14. Even though it's titled something else, the same button presses apply for your device in it's current state, ie; no recovery, no fastboot

First thanks for the fast answer. So I figuered that I only need to delete the build.prop file and replace it with my backup file. Isn't there any way to rescue my files and/or access the /system folder? I'm an exchange student now and I don't wanna lose my picture memories
And btw I know that I build the perfect worst case scenario right now
Oh and in the L90 faq it says that when you flashed a recovery and you navigate to factory reset it won't reset but boot into recovery. Does something like this work even without recovery, so I could try doing stuff with adb?

Unfortunately, no.
Factory reset will not erase your sdcard. It will however erase internal data. It will return the phone to the state it was in the first time it was powered on.

Bricked my myphone uno using Android One Toolkit

After having issues with the low 4GB memory of the myphone uno, i decided to try rooting the phone using some online instructions using Android One Toolkit. I ended up bricking it. Now when i turn on the phone, its stuck with the 4 animated circles.
I am a noob when it comes to android phones, but i do know how to install windows xp, vista, 7. I have used online instructions to clone my pc HD using clonezilla. I believe that if someone were kind enough to give step by step instructions on what files to download(like the original "OS" / "image") and where to get them. And how to use the software, i can get my myphone uno back to working order. So please anyone out there, can you help?

First download a custom kernel zip (recommend thunderzap 5.1)
Then SuperSU 2.54 zip
Move this to files to your phones sd card
And again go to the menu which I told you during recovery (power and volume+ buttons at same time holding) then navigate to fastboot and enter ....you will se fastboot mode in the last line of the menu .
Now connect your phone to pc and open toolkit and press root.
You will see philz recovery loaded on your phone (philz recovery written on the top).
Then tap on wipe option and then factory reset and confirm it.
After factory resetting tap on install zip and select thunderzap zip
After successful installation of thunderzap select SuperSU zip and after installation of super su ...reboot now .......it will take 10 -15 mins......

Just hit thanks!!
I went to Android mtk website ...then I knew where was the problem.
Note : SuperSU zip is used to root a phone via custom recovery (twrp,philzz) ...but in marshmallow you can't root your phone just by installing SuperSU zip ....you need to install a custom *kernel* first ....remember next time??

i take it that this step Then tap on wipe option and then factory reset and confirm it. fixed the bricking of the phone
and these steps After factory resetting tap on install zip and select thunderzap zip
After successful installation of thunderzap select SuperSU zip and after installation of super su ...reboot now .......it will take 10 -15 mins......
rooted the phone right?
One other thing is, whenever theres a system update, during the rebooting it does an error and i have to remove battery to restart the phone. Does rooting the phone cause updates not to work?

You took a bit ....if you have rebooted your phone after just factory reset .....you may have got bootloop again.....(stuck on boot animation).
About your second problem ....
When the error happens in between these steps of installation .......you tap on reboot and install and your phone goes to recovery and after successful installation your reboots .
What's the error ??
Yeah rooting your phone changes system which causes problem while installation of the original update...??

i get the prompt about an update ready for install, i click on it, it does the prompt to reboot so i choose to reboot. During the rebooting it tries to install updates, then the robot image comes up with the word "error". Stuck there until battery is removed. Afterwards the phone will turn back on.

HELP
My cousins Myphone Uno is not turning on when pressing the power button, but if I put in a charge the screen turns on after a few minutes showing the battery but I don't know if it is charging. after a minute the display will go out and the screen flashes a once or twice then off and screen turns on and display the battery it will be on a loop, I can still get to boot option when screen flashes starts,
it shows:
[Recovery Mode]
[Fastboot Mode]
[Normal Boot]
[Normal Boot +ftrace]
[Normal slub debug off]
but when I select any options or not to ,the phone will turn off. Can you help me find a way to make this phone work again? thank you in advance!
PS: If I connect it in my PC it wasn't detected and the the loop will go on and on.
Usb debugging mode is also turned off
