Hello friends, I have a SGS I9000B Brazil, it installed a custom ROM JPD, this perfect, but would like to optimize the accesses more often here on XDA see several screens of the phone options that appears when you press the power button for February 2, see it outside the four options I have in my (Silent Mode, Network Mode Data, Offline and Off) that has seen some menus on some topics that have a few more like: Reboot, Recovery Mode, Download mode . The question is? How do add these additional options in my Froyo too?
they come part of a custom rom or theme.... the rom your running at the moment doesnt have it included. you can flash another rom, or just do the 3 button combo
because it can not find a customizable for JPD ROM

I would suggest that you ask/search this post as its a Brazil I9000B specific post .

Hi guys,
i flashed my sgs with super optimised kernel 3.7 from 3.6 .... = bad news ... i realised that my home button does not work anymore so i have to use the back button instead of home button it took me many hours to figure and fix my sgs but still no home button working but at least my sgs did not turn into a paperweight.
below are the series of events that happened (i tried to put it in order as much as possible)
- home button stopped working
- alot of FC'ing
- sgs kinda like jammed or stuck
- did a full reflash from step 1 [HOWTO] Froyo FW I9000XXJPM: Upgrade via Odin, Root, Recovery 2e, Lagfix! several times !
- flashed a couple of times but when phone enters recovery mode after 1st flash i cant select wipe data/cache cos home button not working so phone was turned off and entered download mode then flashed JPM.
- also tried to flash in 3.6 version kernel couple of times to overwrite 3.7
- here are some stuff i saw along the way :
--there were occasions i see a mobile logo with arrow pointing to pc (just like the background pic of recovery menu but no menu till i unplug usb)
--after reflash when it enters recovery mode automatically it will then not show menu and android logo with a caution sign was seen but when usb cable is unplugged recovery menu comes back but still no luck to wipe data/cache cos home button not working
--instead of seeing recovery 2e , 3e was shown but then again i cant select wipe data/cache due to home button not working
i'm sure many reading this is figuring how i managed to enter recovery or download mode without the home button ???
-- just hold vol up/down + power button home button is not needed in my case !
while in recovery menu, i cant select or do anything with home button except moving vol up/down button to highlight selection but cannot "enter" with home button so i turned the phone off and continued flashing JPM and it works.
but while inside the 3.6 or 3.7 kernel, i can move up or down using vol switch and how did i manage to "enter" selection without home button ? i discovered that the power button does the "enter" !
home button was working intermittently but it comes with double click where you bring the last 6 used apps and task manger selection .. but now it does not come up anymore. still can feel the click on the home button but no response as for now.
also flashed several times as mentioned with re-partition ticked to try to wipe everything but still same results.
so now i have ended up with :
PDA : I9000XXJPM
Phone : I9000XXJPM
CSC : I9000 OXAJPM
Build info : 2010.10
Baseband : I9000XXJPM
Kernel Version : 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #19
Build Number : FROYO.XXJPM
i have also tried many ways such as formatting sd, system, basically almost every menu in the kernel ! basically i wiped out previous data (my guess) but all the apps + data are gone. it was a PITA process.
now it is just the freaking home button does not work anymore ! but nevertheless quadrant still shows 2216 ! and the phone is still blazing fast .
hope someone could help out i have tried to do the search function but not much luck related to my issue.
i have the same problem .... my home button is dead as well -.-'
Flash back to an Eclair firmware. See if that changes anything.

Build
Froyo.XXJPO
I am trying to install darkys rom V7 which looks pretty promising.
I have found out I need to install a kernal which has 2e recovery to which I found out I need to use the 3 button download mode?
I have tried every combination of button presses to get this working and nothing works
How do I enable the download mode? I Cannot find any answers in any posts just questions and more confusing jargon with no real explanations
any help would be appreciated

Some SGS sets have their 3-button recovery / downlaod modes DISABLED by the manufacturer. IMO the carriers ask the manufacturer to do so for them because carriers don't want us to install / flash new ROMs.
You need to modify the secondry bootloader of your SGS, if you want to permanently enable your 3-button recovery / downlaod mode.
To change the secondry bootloader of your phone, you need to put your phone into download mode, use Odin to flash the modified bootloader and you are done.
You will wonder how to put your phone into download mode when your 3-button recovery is not working !!
The solution to this problem is by using ADB (Android Debug Bridge). It is a piece of software which communicates with your phone at low level and can force the phone to boot in Download mode.
Well this is the overview what you need to do. For a step by step guide, you can search here or pm me. I can send you links on how to do it.
I have tried every combination of button presses to get this working and nothing works
Hold down Home button that's the middle button + Hold down volume down button that's the bottom end not top .With these buttons held down press and hold the power on button until the Samsung logo appears .
Release Home Volume then Power button .
If you do not now get the yellow download mode icon you do not have download recovery .

Hello ppl..
I got a strange problem. My phone is able to go to recovery mode and download mode after I power-off my device. It's ok till this stage.
But when I long press the power button when the phone is running I got some options like silent mode flight mode etc.. and reboot,recovery and download mode. When I choose recovery or download the phone just reboots and does nothing. Do u got any idea about what's wrong with it? Ty for your help..

Can you write more about ROM which you use?
As far as I know there isn't any options which allows you to go into recovery or download mode from running OS (but I might be wrong). CPU detects signals from buttons: vol up, vol down, home, power and decide in which mode run phone (download, recovery or standard boot).
Do you really need recovery and download mode working from power menu? Do you flash your phone so often?

Its the extended power menu application that is faulty .
You have installed it so reinstall or reflash the rom it came with .
jje
Im using insanity v.0.5.3
I never installed extended power menu app. Yeah im flashing my phone so often Kernels new roms etc. I think I broke something on root but dunno what..
If you have more than the stock power menu then its from a cooked rom .
jje
Reflash the rom mate.
The power menu you are using is a part of the rom you are using, its obviously not working properly.
I tried to reflash, installed another rom (doc's rom) but it wasnt working on the other rom too..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Probably broke something wipe the lot and go back to basics .

Hi every one.I have a captivate.When i buy,this captivate is on phoenix rom.Anything is allright but problem is : when i have a text message.If i don't see this message,the light of 4 button is always on.I try to isntall spendi rom and the problem is too.My question is my captivate have the problem or every captivate have the same problem.Thx!
Only a few ROMs have that feature built-in. Not really sure how to turn them off at the top of my head though...
look for either BLN or Blinky in your app folder, then disable it.
it's not a problem, it's a kernel feature called "bln" or "back-light notification". there should be an app on the phone to manage it but they dont always work. you can always find a kernel that does not have bln at all if it bothers you.
Holy moley! I totally forgot about BLN/Blinky. Thanks for that, I've just learnt something new as well!

go into recovery mode there must be an option in your rom just hold your power button several seconds when you see the extented power menu just select recovery once in recovery select the advance kernel options you have(like advance speedmod ) using up and down volume button to select once in there you will see BLN just select it again and disable it and then reboot your phone.
note: up and down volume buttons to navigate selections power button to select.
I was running Android 4.0 ICS custom rom on my Galaxy S I9000 (international version), and everything was okay.today, I turned it off, and then I tried to turn it on again normally, but it kept showing the vivd colors screen without continuing. I remembered that the same problem occurred with me before on 2.3.3, and the solution was a simple odin-flashing of just one file. The problem now is that I couldn't remember which exactly of the 4 files in odin this one is (it's the one responsible for mounting the sdcard), and I connected my device while in downloading mode and recklessly flashed only PIT file (with other fields empty). Now the device doesn't boot at all, as if there is no source of energy within. Can the Company's customer support here fix it anyway or is this its end?!!!!!!
Remove te battery and put it back in. With the 3 button combo go to download mode and flash a 3 file firmware.
Try to boot in download mode (vol down + Home + Power) and flash CWM again!
