[Q] Menu & Back touchkeys not working - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone ,
Yesterday I finally got tired of the problems with blocking BACK and MENU keys on Froyo, so I decided to update the touch key FW with the *#2663#.
The initial reported version was :
Phone's Touch key FW Version: 0xa9
Part's Touch key FW Version: 0x4
The FW was updated to version 0xa9 and now I have only 1 working key - HOME. Both MENU and BACK are dead!
People who reported fixing this, flashed an older 2.1 firmware, run the touchkey FW update and restored a previous version of the tp FW.
However, I' m not so lucky.
I started from JS2 and flashed back JP7, JM6, JM1, JG5, ... arabic JG8.
The FW update always reports:
Phone's Touch key FW Version: 0xa9
Part's Touch key FW Version: 0xa9
It seems that the phone's touchkey firmware is not updated when I write the stock FWs with Odin ...
Any idea how to fix this ?

Camera Fimware Menu (Who has the latest one so we all flash it!)

To enter the Camera Firmware menu, in the dialer press:
*#34971539#
This are the options displayed:
- Phone/CAM FW Ver Check
- Phone to CAM FW Write
- ISP Ver Check
- FW Write Count
- CAM FW Cal Check
- CAM to Phone FW Dump
This is what comes when i click on Phone/CAM FW Ver Check
[ SESBDE14:SESBi?27:NONE]
ok seems i downgraded with the new JP2... cause i flashed (Using phone to cam fw write) and now reads (camera still works!):
[ SESBDE14:SESBi?14:NONE]
i made a dump before, gonna look where is it stored
PS: im not responsible for any kind of damage to your phones, so be careful!
So far then (thanx for the collab):
JM5 : SESBDE14:SESBi?27:NONE
JM6 : sesbde14:sesbde14:none
JP2 (New) : SESBDE14:SESBi?14:NONE
JPC : SESBDE14:SESBi?14:NONE
JF3 : SESBDE14:>?SBi?07:NONE
JH2 : SESBDE14:SESBDE27:BDE
So far Its clear it begins with SESBDE14... then there's the BDE and Bi? with a number, and one finishes with BDE
need more info for more insights
Maybe posting the build date of the roms?
If this is like old Samsung were... like D600... E900, then each firmware has their Camera Firmware included, but it's not flashed automatically...
i'd like to know about other Galaxy S users... maybe we can get to determine which fw has the better CAM FW
Camera is pretty ok.. but they need to add image stabilization

is image stabilization not anti-shake?

I upgraded to the new JP2 and I still get SESBDE14:>?SBi?07:NONE like in the JP3
i suppose we need to dump those fw's and compare
make a cam fw to phone dump, it takes approx 2min and label it, then you can upgrade to newer ones with phone to cam fw write, but we should check what's really inside before blind flashing that I suppose.. otherwise SESBDE14:SESBDE27:BDE is prolly "newest" oO

yeah if you have not flashed it via this menu, you'll have the camera firmware of the phone firmware it came with originally
What will flashing the newest one improve?
Image quality?
Pictures are pretty blend...especially in low-light conditions (artificial lighting present)
here's mine

I9000DTJG4 gives 'SESBDE14:SESBDE27:NONE'
I've done a firmware dump... but am unsure as to where it created the dump file(s).... any insight?!
Don't know if it's firmware or hardware, but my Camera don't work correctly, after some Odin Flash and some Camera FZ Flash.
Any ideas?

I9000 Menu and Back key not working

I have somehow disabled the menu and back key on my I9000.
Gone back to the orginal ROM, still not working. Was using Darky 8.0, might have done something in SGS tools. Can someone please help!
Thanks
Try flashing stock firmware of your phone
Then update the touchkey firmware
Ive Flashed to orginal but not go, Tried several versions but not luck. Where do I find the touchkey firmware?
HI Everyone,
Im getting really desperate, I cant find how to get the menu and back keys functioning again. I have look hard on the forums but no real answer.
What I know is I went into SGS Tools in 2.2.1 ,I pressed an update touch screen I think.
please help!
Cheers

HI,
After I did a firmware upgrade I F*&d out. Must be software

Parts TSP FW - 22

+1 same here, I could not fix it
what version of phone you got?
I *just* had this issue.
Started out with my back key hanging on me after getting a custom ROM installed.
So I attempted to update my firmware for the menu and back keys and lost them both.
This seems to be any custom ROM, cannot handle the touchkey firmware update.
How to fix:
Grab ODIN and your stock 2.2.x firmware.
Disable lagfixes if you need to.
Flash it.
Update your touchkey firmware ( *#*#2663#*#* in dialer)
Now reflash a CWM kernel with ODIN
Re-apply your custom rom from sd.
I used the wipe option whenever possible so I would recommend the same.
My touch keys are once again working perfectly and Darky's rom is screaming fast.
I found the issue and fix after noobproof tipped me off to search out this thread:

I have samsung galaxy s vibrant, model is gt-i9000
I flashed the phone with odin. in the pit i have 502, and jpy for the pda.
after flashing, i update the touch key fireware by pressing the numbers that brings the update menu. and pressed the the update button.
after updating, the back key and menu key are not working.
then i rooted the phone then install darkys rom 9.2 extreme.
after installing the rom, the keys are still not working.

phones touch key fw version: 0xa9
parts touch key fw version: 0xa9
phones tsp fw version : 22
parts tsp fw version: 22
tsp threshold: 70
if anyone has different method please let me know
thanks
still nothing
this is killing me. Ive flashed back to 2.2.1 and tried all the other steps. The only problem is that my phone orriginally came with 2.1. I wanna try everything with my original firmware. Does anyone know where i can download a copy 2.1. from?
I had exactly same problem with damn 'return' softkey. I have searched and tried a lot of methods and no chance, I recomend you to go to samsung repair center. Aparently they replaced motherboard and screen to repair this issue.

i took my phone in for work today as ive tried everything and cant get it to work. Ive flashed almost every bit of firmaware i could find and and i could not get it work at all. When i took it to them they said that they've had a ton of problems with the new firmware frying the soft touch buttons. If you cant get your buttons to work i would recomend taking it to where you bought it and seeing if you can get warranty or even just send it out for repairs. Although sometimes it is just an issue with the firmware for the touch screen. Please let as many people as you can know that its a really really really bad idea to update the touchscreen firmware when you have flashed your phone with any roms other than the stock firmware that came with your phone. Have fun! I know i will waiting 4-6 weeks to get my phone back and sitting with a blackberry 8330, oh well, better than nothing.
Hey guys,
When I flashed my carrier stock rom I did not use any PIT options.
If JPY was the rom your carrier issued you then that should be the one you use.
Basically, the touchkey firmware update worked for me on a stock, carrier issued 2.2 (not 2.1 or 2.2.1, though those may indeed work) rom.
Once touchkey was re-updated in the stock, unrooted rom, I flashed back to custom roms as normal.
It looks like you did some pit repartitioning and used a JPY rom not issued by your carrier.
Also, my gt-i9000 is bell issued, so I've got to be wary when repartitioning not to kill my sbl.bin fix and introduce sd corruption issues; so I flash a stock rom with a bootloader update if I think a custom rom may have wiped it out.

you said you have a vibrant and you flashed back to jpy.
if you have a vibrant the product must be GT-I9000M
if you have a vibrant (gt-i9000m) you must flash to your carrier's latest rom-as far as i know bell's latest rom is jh2, search the forums for that- then update your touchkey fw.
hope this helps.

Then click Touch key FW update and my back and menu button was broken.
So I flashed back Eclair 2.1 re-ryped *#*#2663#*#* Then click Touch key FW update and my buttons was fixed!!! So you can flash again any ROM you want.
Let me know if it works for you.

[Q] i9000T Soft keys

Touch Key FW & Product Code

I am having problem getting my back and menu keys back functioning after a bad flash attempt to Darky ROM 10.1.
Basically i am trying to work out if there is any relationship with the touch key FW version and a devices product code.
It seems that some people can load up a stock firmware and keys are fixed others try every firmware under the sun to no avail.
Thoughts?

Questions regarding the *#2663# USSD Code.

Is it generally safe or desirable to update any of these firmwares? Does it in fact update them with a downloadable newer firmware or does it
just refresh the same installed firmware from a safe backup?
Also I'm noticing that the 'Bluetooth Version' listing at the bottom is showing, 'Error'. Is this normal? If not, what should it be.
Also under the Bluetooth Version subsection:
CC/PDIC Module FW Version: 32.00
CC/PDIC Binary FW Version: 32.00
If these are abnormal, I would love it if someone could post a screen grab of theirs.
Thx!
**UPDATE** Okay, turned on BT before I ran the code again and I got:
BCM4361B2 Crown 1QW ANT1 [Version:0110.0230]
