Hey guys.
I ruined my touch keys at my I9000 a month a go and I was so fraustrated.
This phone without the back key is so unusefull, and none had the fix for this.
Untill duckbill22 helped me in my discussion I opened to fix it, and there I saw lots that have this problem too..
Fixing:
1. Get your phone to download mode.
2. Download pit 512, and the I9000UGJH2 Rom.: [Pit isn't included]
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/ZNBT2RY5Y0 - Pass: samsung-firmwares.com
3. Flash it through odin [pda= I9000UGJH2-PDA-Kernel-Bootloader-CL490514-Low]
4. Go to dialer, *#*#2663#*#*
5. Touch key update.
6. HAVE FUN!.
I had the same problem...serves me right for pressing things I don't know. God only knows how I haven't bricked my phone yet...
I followed your directions, though I had a stock I9000UGJL2 rom that I used instead, with success.
Thanks for the tip!
sheitmar, does your touch keys activated alone?
I have this issue with my phone. Sometimes the menu or the back key activates it by it self and it's very frustrating. I'm sure I haven't pressed it, nor touched with the palm of the hand. In fact even if I leave the phone alone on the desk it may happen.
Do you think that using the method on the OP would fix this?
Back key randomly firing

I have this issue as well, had it when it firmware was stock but it went away, I've upgraded to Gingerbreak on my Galaxy Captivate and now it's back.
I can temporarily disable the keys by going into *#2663# and starting an update (which never finishes) and then hitting the home key. But then the next reboot the issue is back. And until I reboot I have no working back or menu keys.
Has anyone managed to fix the random firing issue?

Pull out battery, close Odin, put your Galaxy into download mode and open Odin again and try to flash once more.

Go into recovery mode and hit factory reset.......wala!
Fix the dead soft keys! (it works i9000m)
hello you all after hours and hours of looking for a solution to fix the soft keys on canadian galaxy s vibrant i have come to an answer that works!!
if you did the touchscreen update in gingerbread.gkg3 and after that your soft keys died its easy to get them back up.
first thing you need to do is get odin and be able to use it.
second thing youll need to use is gt_i9000m_ugl2 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1102881
once downloaded flash phone,pda and csc.
when youre done that reboot and let the 3e recovery do its stuff it might take some time.
boot into android and go to your dialer and type *#*#2663#*#* and press touck key fw update.
voila after this you should be able to get them to work.
if you need any assistance feel free to ask.
i spend days looking for a solution.
i dont know if it will work in any other i9000 devices as this is only for i9000m form bell.
Froyo
Every hosting of Froyo I can find has been subject to take down, or the domain is gone. If you still have Froyo, could you host it somewhere? Please let me know, my phone is little more then a brick without it.

Hi!
I was trying to upgrade my Galaxy Captivate following the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783403
First I tried the KIES option, but ended in the phone stuck on a black screen after 2 minutes of the S logo on it.
So, I then tried with ODIN using both package, first with the original, but ended getting an error "E:Can't mount /dev/block/stL10 (Invaild argument)"
And then with Richthofen's integrated package which seems like fixed that issue. indeed did it, but not fixed the original issue, after this one I ended in the same stage than with the KIES upgrade.
I can enter on recovery mode and move using the volume up and down button, however, the "power" button to select any of the option do nothing.
I tried to connect with adb and indeed see it (when is on recovery mode)
adb devices
List of devices attached
10004cb6cc04 recovery
But can't do anything on the phone, not even reboot it with adb, the process get's stuck and the phone is not rebooted.
Anyone have any idea of what I can do now? send it to Samsung is not an option since I bought this phone in USA and I live in Argentina, this phone is not available in the country yet.
Thanks in advance.
Thread moved to Captivate Q&A.
You used a rom with a kernel for Samsung Galaxy I-9000, I went through this also. The I-9000 has a "hard" home key and the kernel is telling your phone that it does also. Are you sensors acting backwards; up/down = left/right?; if so you need to flash back to stock with Odin 3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
I was able to get into download mode by using the vol key like it says but I repeatedly tapped "menu" and "Home" when the little triangle kept popping up (I mean really fast tapping) and it worked. It's really hard to brick these, thought I did more than once myself.
Follow the instructions, it works great. I've had too use it more than once.
Lesson here, don't use any package that's based on a kernel for different hardware; especially the I-9000; unless specifically stated that it has been modified specifically for your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 saved my life! I was so angry with me for being such an idiot!. I lost all the contents on the phone, but at least got my phone working again.
By the way, to put it in download mode what I did was, remove the battery, put it back, press volume up + down and plug the phone to USB.
Thanks a lot Tazman171
No problem, just passing on info that was passed to me by helpful people at this sight. And yep, the way you did it was right, I was thinking of the recovery menu and selecting reinstall packages option, I actually was able to do it with the way I described above.

Hey right now my phone is "bricked" because of a botched JPC Froyo ROM install and I have no way of getting it into download mode. None of the methods on the "One-Click Stock ROM" work, and a few other ones suggested don't either. I'm curious as to how you did it with tapping menu and home, etc. Would you mind posting up some instructions?
Sorry about the late reply, it was recovery mode that I got into, not download mode. You might have one of the phones that won't support the 3/2 button methods of getting to the download/recovery menus. It worked for me because my phone does support that method, it was just the I-9000 had switched my buttons around.
Hi Guys.
I was turning on my captivate, and now when I turn it on, it does the AT&T screen, and Galaxy s Screen, and just gets stuck there, and then goes blank.
Help, please,

Probably not a development question.
What did you do to make it do that?
I was trying to flash a rom, and it was taking long and not working,
So I stooped it, and tried turning it back on, and now it won't work.

Use ODIN3 to reflash. And you should post problems in the ROM's thread, not start a new one. And do a lot more reading...
Sounds like a bad flash. Down load the Odin one click JF6 and falsh back to stock. Once the phone boots up, put into USB debugging mode, master clear, root and install CWM. From there just install the ROM you like by following the instructions of the Dev. Hope this helps!
That's the thing, the phone wont boot! It goes to the Galaxy s logo, then goes blank.

FYI-If a flash is taking a long time it usually means it is installing a LagFix option. Dont ever stop an install before it is complete. This will cause the phone to become inoperable until you Odin back to stock.
So, will you guys show me what to do?
I'm sorry I'm such a noob.

Do this
1) GO to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 . Download I897UCJF6 - Odin3 One-Click Downloader:
http://www.thevod.org/misc/captivate...l-OCD-REV0.rar
2) Shutdown phone. Remove SIM and External SD Card.
3) Run the exe you just downloaded by Right clicking and then selecting "Run as administrator".
4) Put the phone in download mode. See instructions below
Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one
Insert the battery
Hold both Volume buttons (from i9000 just down, don't touch the power button)
Plug in the USB cable and continue holding both Volume buttons
5) Confirm that the phone is indeed in Download mode. You should see Yellow Triangle
6) Click Start
7) Wait for it to complete. You are now back to stock ROM.
Extra: Flashing to stock ROM will disable your ability to go to recovery/download mode using button combo. Please apply 3 button lagfix

What are you talking about? This is massively incorrect. You only lose your 3 buttons ability to enter recovery or download mode depending on your particular phone. i have always had it working, have flashed back to stock countless times, and have never either lost my 3 buttons ability or needed the "3 button fix".
Look under your battery. There is a # on the sticker, i believe beneath the serial #. It is 100x.
1006=fine, no probs.
1007=iffy, some good and some bad.
1008=3button fix REQUIRED almost every time......

I have 1008. I lose 3 button combo everytime I flash to stock. Anyway there is no harm in reapplying it so why not recommend it? I don't want the OP to lose the ability.

Although you are correct that the one-click doesn't kill the button combos on all phones, it does on most batch 1008 phones and maybe all newer phones. It's a good idea to point people to the flasher that you know won't disable the combos, particularly when the person you are trying to help is pretty clueless about how all this stuff works.

+1. if you cant take on the responsibility of reading and basic comprehension, you deserve an iphone. let steve tell you how to use your phone.
Howdy,
1. I have a AT&T Samsung Captivate and it was modded with CyanogenMod 7 for the past few months. Everything has been working fine until last night when I tried to update to a more recent nightly. Long story short, my phone is now frozen. Meaning, when I power it on it stays on the AT&T World Phone start screen.
2. Yes, I've searched for other threads for a solution but can't find any that resolves my issue.
3. Yes, I tried to boot into Recovery mode. When I hold down the two volume buttons and the power button, the screen powers up like normal and the AT&T World screen flashes three times. Then I release the buttons but instead of going into the recovery screen it just stays on the AT&T screen.
4. Yes, I have that thing that goes into the USB port and forces the phone into Download mode and it does but it stays on that screen indefinitely.
5. I have to remove the battery to get out of each of the scenarios above.
6. I'd like to simply get back to Stock mode so I can wipe everything from my phone and start from scratch.
Anyone up to helping out a desperate, unemployed father of two who needs his phone desperately to look for work?
Thank you!
First, since this is a question is should have posted in the Q&A section.
Second, if you can get into download mode then you can recover via Odin or Heimdall
Just be careful depending on which bootloaders you have on your device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134443
If you can get to download mode, that's great - you should be in luck (btw, it's supposed to stay on the download screen indefinitely).
First, go here and get the one-click back to stock Odin.
Once you have it, get into download mode, fire up odin, and plug in your phone. Assuming you see a yellow COM:4 (or similar) message, you should be good to go.

Be careful - that link takes you to the odin with 3-button fix - if you flash that first, you could end up in a bad place.
Generally you should only flash the 3-button fix after going back to complete stock with the odin one-click to stock, and only if you need to repair a nonfunctional 3-button setup.

Yes I know I say that in the post, that you CANNOT flash the 3 Button Fixed Odin straight from GB Bootloaders.
YOU MUST flash Odin One Click first to get the Eclair Bootloaders, then that 3 Button Fixed JF6 to get your combo back for the unlucky people that lose it like me.
But on the thread note please stay with me, I posted the thread and the MegaUpload said it should only be another 10 minutes, then bad weather came through my area and froze the download link.
The download link for the full JF6 3 Button Fixed.tar file should be up in about an hour.
Sorry for the inconvenience
Thank You ! ! !
Guys,
Thank you all for sharing your knowledge that allowed me to fix my issue. I'm all set and running again in stock. You guys rock!!!

That's great to hear. Good luck on the job hunt.
Hi guys,
Today I rooted my phone by following the procedure of Dr.Ketan to root the galaxy note. Everything went fine but for some reason some stuff went very wrong even if I didn't do anything that wasn't in the instructions. I'm now on stock gingerbread 2.3.5
First I got some forced closes (solved that with Factory Reset in CWM) and when I type with the samsung keyboard I get only "null null..." in textfield. But when I use Swype theres no problem.
My biggest problem is:
I have no longer a lockscreen! So when my phone goes to the black screen after 10 minutes I can't turn in back on. The two soft keys light up for a while just as they should but there's no waking up when I push the power button, and neither does it when I push the home key, which by the way gives me an black with green pixels coming up - screen.. When my screen times I can't wake it anymore and I have to reboot the phone by pressing the power key very long... this is so anyong because I can't use my phone just every 10 minutes
I'm desperate right now. Can't figure it out. What's the solution to this?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Download your stock firmware and flash using odin and re-root.
You can find link to stock firmwares and instructions in this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
(thanks to dr.ketan for this)
The "Null null" is a known issue.
You can get rid of it by flashing the CSC again I believe.
But your best bet given the problems you're having (as mentioned above) is to flash the Stock ROM back through via PC Odin and start again..
Reflash another version GB.
Re-wipe.
You will be fine.
Regarding NULL issue..open mobile odin, select cache and select the ROM you installed..
Null issue will be nullified.
Thanks guys! I flashed the rocket rom over the abyss kernel and it works now!

Don't know if you still need help but assuming you never replied to the other person's post eh I'm assuming you figured it out. If you didn't though I should first say that the galaxy exhibit 4g and the galaxy exhibit are two different phones. Also the official stock firmware for our phone hasn't been released by samsung for some reason so there's no way to go back to complete stock unless you make a backup. Here's a link for a pre-rooted stock rom though that you can flash through odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489238
