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
The Phones TSP FW - 22
Parts TSP FW - 22
TSP threshold - 40
Touch key FW - 0xa9
Parts Touch key FW - 0xbf
+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:

FOr gods sake, everything was going fine until i started poking around sgs tools "oh what's this? touchscreen firmware update yes please!" doh..

Very Very thaks.
Works fine for my, it took the same problem as that as an idiot from a custom rom touches in update touch keys and they stopped working.
Thaks really

unfortunately, this method seems not working for me, please correct me if i did the steps wrongly.
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.
here the version of the touch key firmware:
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.

it did work !!
appreciate much brother
hey!
I had the fu***** same problem, so this is how I solve it.
First i had Eclair 2.1 then update to Froyo 2.2, I typed *#*#2663#*#*
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.

I have replaced the front panel of Galaxy S, later menu and back button didn't work. I thought lcd is broken but update firmware of the lcd helped.
Hi I flashed my phone using rom kitchen but before i did it i backed up my phjone using CWM, I believe o2 are starting to roll out the official 2.2.1 upgrade so i restored my phone using CWM, now my phone says it is
pda jp6
phone jpy
csc o2ujp3
but when i connect it through kies it says its
csc jp3(XEU)
and it cannot be updated
so, can anyone tell me how i can get kies to read it as o2ujp3 instead and if so how, i have read about spoofing kies but dont know what to do or what to put in where thankyou
Flash back your original rom that you saved which you have done i would then factory reset .
2.2.1 O2 Uk I wont bother wait for Gingerbread .
jje
Really need some help if there's a friendly Guru out there. Basically I flashed my Samsung Galaxy S with supercurio's Voodoo kernel (amazing) but after using the phone for a week or two I realised the microphone was dodgy (sounded like I was constantly in a toilet). So I need to send it back to O2 without the modified kernel but I can't find the kernel for the original O2 ROM :-(
I've disabled the lagfix and it's back on RFS by the way.
Here are the details of the phone, if anyone could point me in the direction of the best firmware to flash it back to so when I return the phone they won't say I've invalidated my warranty
Service Provider = O2
Country = UK
Language = English
Baseband version = I9000ADJP3
Kernel version = curio carton #Voodoo_stable_5.4.1
Build Number = FROYO.ADJP6
Thanks in advance for any advice you could give.
to get back to the stock kernel you will have to flash the ROM again.
Did you make a backup of your ROM ??
if not get onto www.samfirmware.com and download it from there.
if it doesnt have your firmware, any 2.2.1 (froyo) ROM will do, if questions are asked (very unlikely) say you updated thru KIES.
O2 firmware you get only from O2 via Kies .Unless you saved a backup of your rom as been said . Stock rom flashed via Odin will not give you the O2 firmware .
Stock rom flashed and the phone updated via Kies spoof method is about the best way of getting O2 firmware .
Stock = Samsung firmware before its handed over to O2 and has been said many service centres do not bother about it . However non O2 firmware is not covered under warranty if O2 want to be picky .
The key to all this is nobody bothers to save the original rom in the headlong dash to flash anything. That means no stock of custom network roms .
jje
Unfortunately I didn't back up the stock ROM :-( been to SamFirmware and think this is the closest I'm going to get.
I9000AOJP5
Says it's O2 branded and has english version, the download includes 3 files, so I guess I can't just replace the Kernel I have to update the whole ROM:
GT-I9000-CSC-VIAJP3.tar.md5
I9000AOJP5-REV03-ALL-low-CL713698.tar.md5
MODEM_I9000AOJP3.tar.md5
I'm assuming I can download the .pit from the main page but there are 3 versions
Galaxy S / .PIT File: DOWNLOAD. (512)
Galaxy S / .PIT File: DOWNLOAD. (513)
Galaxy S / .PIT File: DOWNLOAD. (803)
Any clue what the difference is or can I use either?
512 unless stated otherwise on samfirware .
jje
Just found my stock O2 uk firmware uploading now it will take a while .
This method worked and installed the correct network addons for O2 UK .
From downloaded rom open with zip program and extract to desktop MODEM bin file Then drop the full rom tar on the desktop as well .
Example saved rom is JP5_JP3_U_JP3.tar Modem.bin is inside that fail extract and place together with unopened JP5_JP3_U_JP3.tar on desktop .
You will also need odin 512 pit if its not with Odin .
Open Odin
- make sure you UNTICK Re-Partition Checkbox (which is the default choice)
- Choose "s1_odin_512pit" as PIT
- Choose " the tar file you saved as PDA
- PHONE Use MODEM.bin
- Leave CSC blank
- Start Phone in Download-Mode (see image at bottom)
- Connect Phone via USB
- "Start" Flash using odin
- Goto Recovery mode (see image at bottom) and do Factory Reset / Data Wipe
- Reboot, and wait for full start up. Unplug phone from USB.
- Close Odin.
Its the MODEM file that contains the network extras .>dont want them then you could try just flashing the saved rom tar as it installed Froyo with no network add ons for me .
Thats how i did a recovery to Froyo O2 last year

Darn it, wish I'd read this before I started going gung ho into things.
Tried to flash the I9000AOJP5 ROM using the 812 pit all from samFirmware, they stated to use this pit and that the ROM was an O2 branded 2.2 version. This caused my phone to fail on boot with the following warning:
E:Can’t mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid Argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can’t mount DBDATA:
So I tried the earlier version of the ROM I9000AOJP4 with the same results (still on the 812 pit and repartitioning). I read that a lot of people had not had success with the 812 pit so I looked for 512 version and compatible ROM.
Decided on I9000XXJP3 as this seemed like a lot of people had success with it and seemed common enough for me to send the phone back with and not raise too many questions (fingers crossed).
After flashing the ROM and all appearing successful it now appears that the phone can no longer enter download or recovery mode. So I've factory reset it, wiped everything and am not sending it back with my fingers crossed for 2 weeks that they replace the entire unit and I get a nice new O2 ROM to mess up again
Thanks for your help guys, all this flashing of ROMs mallarkey seems far too complex and troublesome for me, why can't Samsung just produce a ROM that is as fast as Voodoo and then we'll all be happy!
Cheers again

what happened did you get a new phone?
Hi if someone can help id really apprteciate it. Dunno why this is confusing me so much.
Anyway I want to put stock uk firmware on my galaxy s so I can sell. Pretty sure it was the unlocked stock firmware.
I tried doing the reg hack on kies - it finds update and then says device version wrong.
I tried using spooffw - for some reason it updates the pda ok but doesnt update phone/csc (click ok and it reverts back to whatever it was on before)
I tried installing JM1 from samfirmwares and whent into kies and again says cannot update on this device.
Can anyone tell me what I need to flash onto this bloody phone so I can get kies to upgrade to the oficial fw.
I would like to put on a 2.1 rom and then have kies upgrade then I know its stock. I downloaded jf3 but that didnt come with phone or csc ? where would I get them?
first of all its not a bloody phone
then why you want to use kies? you can flash a rom by odin easily, just do some study for how to flash a rom and proceed,
kies sometimes have strange behaviours, personally I never used kies after I tried it once
I take it you want not the stock rom but the rom provided by the phone provider .
Two routes one replace the original rom you saved .
two flash stock rom lower version than current rom on Kies . Use a method of spoofing the correct codes for the original product .
Kies only updates if the correct codes for product firmware device and hardware are showing . Once you go the unofficial flashing firmware route Kies may not find these codes until you find the correct codes .
Stock = Samsung firmware Original = network branded that came with the phone .

Hi flashing a rom isn't the problem but flashing a rom that makes my i9000 appear un tainted by custom roms etc is where I'm having the difficulty. I wanted to do the final update via kies then I would know that kies thinks my phone has genuine firmware. If it wont update via kies then this is a clear message that the phone has been tampered with and I may not get the money from the company.

You are right I want original firmware. Main problem is I have no idea what this would have been. I didn't make a copy as my first upgrade involved doing a kies reg hack before there were any custom roms and I stupidly didn't take note of what I was currently on. What I do know is that my phone has never had any operator logos or software on it. (unlike my gs2)
I have tried doing the reg hack on kies 2.0 but apparently thats not properly supported yet (can I use an older kies 1.5 or something? or will it ask to be upgraded?)
I have tried using spooffw but step 3 (where you set phone and csc) doesnt work, when you press ok is reverts back to whatever it had on before no matter the value you enter.
Does anyone know of an o2 stock firmware that has been uploaded somewhere? ideally with pit, csc modem and pda. then I can hopefully use odin and then confirm that all is ok in kies?
Or if I am going to go the spoof route (probably with kies 1.5 as 2 is not playing ball) does anyone know what values I should use for each?
Thanks
well on www.samfirmware.com there is a list right at the bottom for provider FW, maybe one of them is o2 firmware, check it and see if any of them stand out as the one you had firstly.
why do you need o2 firmware specifically ??
you can sell your phone with JPY 2.2.1 stock and no one would be the wiser .

jpy? so is that a firmware you could actually get on a device brought in uk? which specific download should I choose? Once downloaded and flashed if I connect to kies will it be able to do future updates?
EDIT woohoo I did as you said and used UK JPY found here
http://www.multiupload.com/PZNPALHVDW
and its now being picked up in kies saying latest firmware installed. Excellent now I can sell it without worrying.
bit sad it was definately the best phone ive owned and there still doesnt seem to be much out there that can push it to its limits (let alone the s2) still the extra screen size and better pixel layout are definately worth the upgrade.
Thanks everyone for your help.
If thats not it i uploaded O2 JPY within the last month linked in two posts .Dont know where though .Its probably mine on Sammy anyway .
Flashed direct as PDA via Odin . If problems after with modem . Unzip file extract modem flash file again as PDA and also the modem file is what i did .

Hi,
I flashed my SGS to CM7 and don't really like it. I have downloaded the firmware ( I9000DXJF4 )from sammobile and flashed it. However, I am unable to upgrade the firmware using Kies to the new firmware available thru Samsung.
My current version is as followed
PDA: I9000DXJF4
PHONE: I9000DXJF4
CSC: I9000OLBJF4
From the look of my phone, everything seem to be back to its original setting, with all the singtel (my telco provider ) apps. Now I am trying to upgrade to Froyo 2.2 (I think) using Kies. Kies prompted that it is unable to update the firmware. I tried the latest version of kies and also version 1.5. Both are unable to do so.
Anyone can kindly advise?
Try changing your CSC code to XEU. I encountered some issues with KIES updates when having CSC code KOR.
Hi,
I tried to change to XUE but this option is not available. I go into CSC by *#272*HHMM#. Is it wrong?
*#272*???????????????# (??????????????? it's your IMEI, it must have 15 digits)
or try https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nfye.insanity.toolbox
Hi,
Thanks for your help. I got my IMEI code. It pop up in a small window. Then I tried to change the CSC using the method u mentioned. But nothing happen. When I press the call button, it say "USSD code running..." then follow by "UNKNOWN APPLICATION"
I also tried to install the software, but it is only for android 2.2 and above. I tried to find the crack version for the premium version but cant find any. Do you have the premium version? Can upload to mediafire and send me the link?
Never try to install via KIES ..
Install via ODIN the Firmware you want it's simply better, even if ODIN is unofficial.
Introductions you will find by googleing I think .. it's easy.
Good luck and have fun
Hi,
Ya, using Odin now. But still prefer Kies over Odin. A lot of stuff become automatic with Kies.
I just flash to DXJG4 hoping to be able to link to kies but it failed.
I read that once the lagfix is fixed, there will be problem with kies. Am I fixing the lagfix in anyway thus leading to this problem?
Did you get solution to your problem? I had the same problem with a Galaxy Wonder... when i tried to upgrade via kies i got this screen..
That I cannot post actually because the forum prevents me from doing it...
BUT...
I tried OTA upgrade with perfect results... And the funny thing is that I NEVER before could start OTA...
BTW everything's fine now and I bumped to 2.3.6 ggbrd

You can download all the recent firmware from sammobile and you can flash it via odin. Flashing stock ROM via Odin
