could this be a result of me having a custom rom on my phone. tried to flash a stock rom so i could send it back to tmobile but ofcourse yu need the home button to flash. feedbackwould be gladly appreciated! thx
If they're not even working on bootup/in recovery mode, that sounds like a hardware issue. Not much you can do about that unless you'd like to tear up your phone.

I'm using Itje's Touch it v7 ROM, and I don't know, something f***ed up with the rom, don't know how. anyway, hardware keys on my X1 don't work, except the power button. Volume keys also don't work. Hardware keyboard won't type, I have to use on-screen keyboard. Tried to hard reset, but nothing happens, all the same. I can't even load the boot (multicolor) screen, to upload another rom (guess, it won't load because volume keys don't respond), using my power key and volume down key. Won't even hard reset while holding down power key and two silver keys....
any solution please?
thanks in advance
Dude Turn the phone off, Take the battery out for 30 seconds, Replace the battery and try entering the boot loader mode again. If Its not letting you do that then it will be a fault with the hardware not the rom. I think when you enter the boot loader mode, that does not rely on the rom.
I don't say it's the ROM, but I don't know what it is... No, taking battery out for 2 mins didn't help
try flashing using SEUS?
everything worked fine, i flashed a few roms, before I decided to use Itje's one. flashed via memory card method
as Fards was trying to tell you: try the other (SEUS) method to flash again. This way you don't need to use any of the buttons on your X1.
will try that, thank you guys

or alternatively any customRuu.exe
if you look in most custom roms install folder, they have several files including an app called "enterbootloader.exe"

tried using sony ericsson update service, but the program asks me to hold down the volume key and power key, which doesn't work, so I don't really know what you mean...
will try this enterbootloader.exe thing...

Can you still boot into fastboot ? (remove battery if needed to power off, put it back , hold back button and press power )
no i cant. i cannot boot into any menus.
you cant boot into fastboot or into recovery?
sorry man..... brick. at least as far as i could think.
the wiki says theres a way to fix it, does anyone know who wrote it? maybe i could contact them?
Seriously? So you can't access adb/fastboot shells from your computer?
Fastboot is not a menu you access, You need to have the android-sdk setup on your computer, and need to reboot your phone into fastboot:
Take out the battery.
Put battery back in.
Hold the Back Button
Press power button and continue to hold back button.
Device should boot into bootloader, and if you have the right spl fastboot will be enabled.. (i believe thats correct)
Also, did you flash the wrong radio and then continue to flash spl?
If so, your device is bricked. But if you only flashed the radio and it's compatible with your spl you should be ok.
dude, send me your phone, im a professional repair man , i'll even fix it for free XD
The fix way of doing it you may find hard lol but it's called JTAG ^^ read on cyanogenmod wiki
where would i have to send it out too? and some type of insurance would be nice but id possibly be willing to send it out

I only flashed the radio, and then the CM6 Rom
The radio i flashed was the g1-radio-2_22_23_02 but i flashed it on EBI1 not EBI0
i tried to boot with every key combination i can think of such as camera + power Volume + power Back + Power
EVERYTHING
but it always hangs at the rogers screen

Why are you holding down all those keys ._.
hold camera while booting and give us a definitive answer on whether or not it loads a screen.
It does not work.
it stays at the rogers screen
so yeah, I'm trying to flash CM7.2 to my friends Mini, but her phone has a broken Home button... so... I can't even get into download mode so I could use Odin to flash CWM to the device.
I got as far as getting it rooted, then I thought that I'd be able to flash CWM via RomManager, since I did that on my other friends Desire that had problems with some other button. But in RomManager when I choose to flash CWM it asks me to confirm my phone model, but doesn't show a option for the Mini? I checked on CWM's homepage and there they got a recovery for the mini so why isn't it in RomManager?
So anyone of you got any idea of how to flash CWM without that damn home button? Something as ADB or something?
Please help, this is so damn frustrating!
EDIT: SERIOUSLY NEED HELP ASAP! I thought that if I managed to get into the stock recovery I might be able to flash something from there, BUT APPARENTLY the stock recovery uses the Home button instead of the power button to choose an option, so now I'm stuck in stock recovery, can't choose anything, and when rebooting the phone boot back into the recovery! what the **** samsung? I can't get past recovery without a homebutton? not even pulling the battery helps!!! The phone is practically bricked now
Do not even think of using ROM Manager. It is responsible for many hard bricks for galaxy mini users.
Maybe you should get the home button fixed. :| Without that how you gonna multi task? Soft keys? Better fix it or sell the phone. Not worth keeping it without a working home button.

I know that the homebutton is rather important but it's not my phone, it's my friend's phone and she doesn't care if it works or not as she doesn't use the phone that much for multitasking.
oh by the way, I managed to get ONE successful home button press while in the recovery I placed a pen on top of the button and applied all of my super-human strength on that sucker phone rebooted normally, didn't get it into download mode though tried multiple times but no luck, just that one single press... might crack this phone open and see if I can fix that stupid button, or atleast see if I can short 2 contacts while the phone is open and get a home press that way
and I guess there isn't a way to flash anything on this thing without that pesky button
search on google for an application called CWM.apk it does work on our mini and it is a kind of rom manager
in command prompt type
adb reboot download and you will be in download mode
Hi guys
I have my old Note 1 but I can't seem to get the lockscreen working after flashing any tw ROMs at all. I mean it boot straight into home screen and not setup comes up before hand. There is not lock screen even if options are in settings. Any help or explanation would be appreciated. Tried flashing numerous stock ROMs via recovery or Odin and still same. ROM boots up and goes straight to home. Also power button doesn't bring up the options to reboot or power off etc the phone just turns off right away. Thanks
hi i think there is no power button options on stuck rom.

Mate you still get options when you long press it like power off and reboot.....the problem I have is that soon as I press power button phone goes off and I have no lock screen at all. After Odin flash or via recovery I don't get Samsung set up it just goes straight to home screen
ok bro. i dont know about this. maybe you can try to install a stock based modified rom or anothers. maybe works

Have you as a last resort tried using Odin and a pit file so it relays and wipes clean EVERY partition just in case its a setting gone wrong in a location that standerd flashing doesn't cover?
Hi im new here. I have big prob. My gt-i8190 power button is broken. When the button was still ok i was able to upgrade my rom to omnirom 5.1.1. I was really happy with it until the power button got broken. My prob is now cannot boot to recovery so i could install supersu. Hope u could help me.. (By the way is there a way to disable the pull down menu while the phone is locked? Coz often times the flash light opens by itself while its in my pocket.)
