[Q] Home button not working anymore after flashing JPC

Hi.
I was on JP3 and tried to flash JPC. Everything went fine, but my apps go crazy untill I did factory reset. BUT! in recovery mode (volup+home+pwr) I was not able to select data wipe/factory reset, was no reaction after I hit home button on menu. So, I did factory reset via android menu.
Soon I realized that there is huge problem with Home button even after factory reset . And right now my Home button does not work at all (althouth, I think this is not mechanical problem, because it "clicks" properly).
Tried downgrade to JM7 -- same results.
Tried again JP3 -- same results
Quick search here and other all web does not gives any results ;(
Any thoughts?
Ir happened to me also. Try doing a full wipe and formating the internal card . Then flash the jpc again and everything should go fine.
How I can do full wipe if in recovery menu I cant select anything by hitting Menu button?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In the phone format internal sd.
Put it in download mode flash with odin using re-partition
Done
I'l give it a try in few minutes... That will be quite strange for me if that helps.. But at least I have a hope now..
nope (((((((((
Tried to flash JPC with 803 pit file and using re-partition. Home button still not working at all (neither in android, neither in recovery menu).
Tried to do factory data reset in android -- also, nothing .
Also I have noticed what I can go in Download mode just by hitting vol-down + pwr and in Recovery mode by vol-up + pwr. Without hitting Menu key! Is that normal?
Well, nothing helps
I even tried to flash JPC with 512.pit and using re-partition (somebody said that *.pit file is responsible for mapping devices?)
No result. No action after clicking Home key at all.
Seems to be hw problem.
Button didnt worked 2 days. But today completely suddenly (I even didnt reboot my phone!) start working! Not sure it works perfectly now, but very close to.
wondering will it stop function sometimes in the future or not .
sounds more like your button was stuck down.
Yep, now I tried -- download mode requires 3 buttons as well as recovery mode. While button was not working - just pressing voldown+pwr allowed me to get into download mode.
Anyway, I'm again able to apply upload.zip... yeeeeeeeeeeeah!!
OP how did you manage to get it working again ? i have the same issue but tried many atempts and it did not help
mind to share ?
tia
Id was fixed without my attention at all. I just managed it worked again once a morning.
Personally I beleive it was HW issue. For me it started worked again after 1 week or so. Thus, try wait a little . If it will not work -- visit SC.
thx op. i hope mine will "magically" work again. if not then i might try to buy a home button and crack open my sgs wohooooo
i went all the way to flash a stock jm1 and then the upgrade to 2.2 and loaded the super kernel but along the way no luck for me so i just gotta wait.
ah maybe you guys might laugh at me i also did the hairdryer trick but did not workout for me

[Q] Stuck in Recovery mode

I have a Samsung Captivate (I897) but I accidentally installed the I9000 firmware on it. Now my home button acts like the back button, The 3 button combo doesn't work, and the back button doesn't work at all. I tried to get it to do SOMETHING and somehow I got it into recovery mode but now i cant get it out and get it to boot up. It shows the normal recovery mode options and i can scroll down and up but I can't select anything because it says use the "select" button but there is no "select" button on the I897. All I need is to get into download mode and i can probably fix it from there. I want to flash it back to factory settings so my fiance can use it. Can someone please help me? I've been searching the forums for days trying to find the same issue but to no avail.
What I9000 firmware? If it was a gingerbread build the button combo for download mode is vol down and power, otherwise it should be the same both volumes then plug in ausb cable... or make a jig.
And just for the hell of it try using the menu button to select something in recovery.
Holy F man you are the man!! i used the volume down and power button and its now in download mode. Now I can try to flash it back with Odin. Thank you soooooo much!!
ok so i tried that and now it wont even turn on at all. idk whats goin on with it. i may just have to send it in to samsung...

[Q] Power reset or unknown upload mode after flashing CM10

Hello guys!
While flashing to CM10 from CM9, my phone rebooted and stopped into screen "Power Reset or Unknown upload mode", no keys are pressed while booting. Any ideas how to fix this? I discharged battery completely and put it again but still this screen shows up.
any idea?
try to enter download mode it seems that kernel is broken
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
Enter download mode, and then using odin just install any custom firmware or a stock firmware !
Hope it helps ! :fingers-crossed:
i've tried home + vol down+ power button
only logo of Samsung showed up, after that annoying message "Power reset......"
any idea?
Are you able to boot into CWM? if yes, ask someone if he can take your sd card and download a CWMflashable zip to it. The plug it into your own phone and flash... :fingers are crossed for you:
------------------------------
working on:
SuperRom64 (2.3.6)
Project Stock (4.0.4)
whatever i'd press, all the time i see samsung logo and after 30 secs an error message.
1. Switch off your mobile.
2. Now, press and hold the volume up key and the power button. Leave both buttons when you see the SAMSUNG logo.
3. After "Galaxy S" splash screen you will get a white box and android logo image like below,then press menu soft key and wait some second.
4. If you boot into recovery, then wipe everything and then flash the ROM.
And it seems that you have managed to brick your mobile ! But try this I hope it solves your problem.
Doesnt work ;/ will try with jig
