So this is my own fault, and to say it simply, my phone was in a pool (small one) of water. Every single thing works fine, EXCEPT for the home button. (the center button)
I just flashed Darky's ROM 9.5 on, and nothing changed.
Haven't tried wiping yet, but just don't want to do that yet..
Any suggestions? I wanna know if the button still works or not. If its a hardware (permanent) problem, or a software... since entering recovery still works...
Thanks guys
If you flashed a rom then guess would be hardware . You could try factory reset . Darky rom = no warranty .

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?

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.

Are you saying only load PDA portion in Odin and flash that? I'm using Darky's 10.1 Extreme right now...
same problem
I jav the same problem. Hope thos works
it seems to flash for me but then it keeps rebooting over and over again... I applied a 512 pit file + tar now it just loops and reboot...
Is there a more complete package of JH2 with CSC+PHONE+PDA files...?
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 all. (pardon my english)
I've been looking through this forum for a few hours now and I think I couldnt find a solution to my problem. My phone wont boot. In order to make this easy for you guys to diagnose. Ill brief as much as I could remember of what I did to my phone
I followed this instruction on how install froyo from this link androidadvices dot com/update-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-to-froyo-xxjpy-2-2-1/
I have a samsung galaxy s I9000. As I recall before I did any modification it was on eclair AND yesterday I installed one click lag fix which I downloaded from the android market which meant i've rooted my phone.
TODAY, I tried installing voodoo (for the lag fix) and from the link above it states that I need to have my phone to run firmware XXJPY. I installed ODIN and when asked for a PIT file I've entered the one from the downloaded .zip file (which is the wrong file I think!?), still it says "pass!" and after that I couldn't boot
Oh one more thing. What happens if I fully bricked my phone? If send it to the seller, what will the seller do?
I've tried the 3 combo, 2 combo and 2 combo button with usb cable but still wont work. Can anyone help pleaseeeee.......
Looks like you have lagfixed your phone .
I installed one click lag fix
You then failed to remove the lagfix before flashing your phone breaking phone .
Try via Odin reflash with pit 512 and repartition checked .
That fails do the same but use 2.1 Eclair
You cannot have two lagfixes One Click Lag Fix and Voodoo lagfix .
Oh one more thing. What happens if I fully bricked my phone? If send it to the seller, what will the seller do?
REJECT it broken warranty if they can prove unauthorized modifications but that does depend upon the symptoms it shows a dead phone may just get a correct flash from service centre .

correct me if i'm wrong but based on what i read i don't think he did any unauthorized modification. just tried to go from eclair to froyo.
ok here's an update, I managed boot it to download again and installed the proper 512.pit. Odin says "pass". On tutorial link I given it says
"So, now once you see the above screen with a Green box showing PASS! in the Odin then it means that your device has been successfully installed with the new firmware XXJPY 2.2.1 stock and is now safe for you to remove the USB cable from your phone and now you need to boot your device. Now after successful installation of the new firmware its now time to optimize your device with new firmware so that your phone becomes faster and zippier. First turn off your device, long press the volume up key, press Menu as holding both the buttons press the power button to start."
the difference with my phone is that its switched off instantly after downloading (right after it says "pass!"). When I press volume up + menu + start, it wont start Hope this could do some help.....

Not through any Samsung channels .
As i said looks like you installed a rom with a lagfix enabled and that has broke your update .
Now after successful installation of the new firmware its now time to optimize your device with new firmware so that your phone becomes faster and zippier. First turn off your device, long press the volume up key, press Menu as holding both the buttons press the power button to start.
Dont know where thats coming from at all its nonsense in respect of rebooting an updated phone .
Update via Odin installs pass then phone should reboot if not take out battery for a while then press on button wait until boots .
The forum is littered with the correct instructions but its the lagfix that breaks an update lagfix off before update .
As i said flash to Eclair with repartition and 512 pit should fix the problem .
jje
It might pay you to go back to the forum you got these instructions from .
Or as i said download and flash according to XDA

Flash it with Eclair XXJM1 with 512pit. Remember the three boxes must be checked. i.e. Re-partition,Auto Reboot & Force Reset Time.
Then Flash with Froyo 2.2.1 (XXJPY) and this time No Pit & No Auto partition.
It will hardly take 15mins for both.
You're done!
I has problem D:
galaxy S i9000 wont boot anymore. Ive tried everything. i think. any suggestions as to what I can do?
Link to video explaining the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4tgIWcCSBg
Before I begin I know I'll be slammed for loading an incompatible ROM for my phone, dumb on my part, especially without a clockwork backup.
I was running a leaked 2.2 rooted, which when loaded removed clockwork so i could no longer take backups. I then followed pathikshah.com/blog/install-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-on-samsung-galaxy-s/ which I know says don't use for captivate, but I didn't read that.
I am now running 2.3.3 but my back button is not operational, it flashes when pressed as normal but completes no action. My home button however acts as my back button. My menu and search buttons are normal.
I do not have the 3 button combo capability as i once had before, the screen just stays black and the buttons light up and it stays like that till i battery pull.
Other than that and some crazy screen distortion of colors when it boots it runs fine from what I can tell. But I'd like to at some point get back to a stable/compatible ROM.
Please let me know how I can somehow get to stock or a stable ROM. Thanks in advance.

You only option may be to buy or make a jig to force download mode then you can flash the stock ROM using Odin.
erm, im not 100 % sure because i havent tried this yet... but if i read it correctly, your rom is still (somewhat) operational. So try installing rom manager, flash cwm, then reboot into recovery.
From that, you can install the 3 button fix. Then i would suggest going into download mode, flash back to stock 2.2 using the odin back to stock. Then you can begin the process of installing 2.3.3
Also, the problem with yours is, you installed the i9000 version which for some reason has that button mapping problem. There are 2 versions of 2.3.3 on this forum (Cyanogen Mod 7 and MIUI). You can use either one of those, the buttons work perfectly and i dont see anything wrong with it.
Oh and, as the above person said, if my method doesnt work, you can either buy a jig, or build one yourself. There are threads in this forum about both . Also, please refrain from using I9000 stuff unless you fully know what it does. Im not much of a modder myself which is why i only download stuff from the captivate dev section.
Hope i helped
P.S... youd only be slammed if you didnt know what your problem was and blamed someone else for it. This forum is to help people
Try volume up and power, or volume down and power

This video helped me to go to downloading mode on my i9000 that had its 3 buttons bug:
youtube.com/watch?v=D0aoabVtPJ8&feature=feedlik
you need to buy a 301k or 300k resistor and it will work for 100%
adb reboot download!
also see if odin sees the phone when the screen is black, if you say buttons light up the phone is on, could be a problem with the image used in download mode. i once had this happen after a bad crash on the old manhatten project kernel. the splash screen images got corupted and it wouldn't boot passed a messed up lookin splash screen. thought i fried the video chip and went to flash back to stock. the screen stayed black with the 2 button + usb cable combo but odin showed the yellow box. so i started flashing and halfwat through the little guy with the shovel poped up. i was in download mode but my screen was black do to corrupted splash screens. phone took a flash and went back to normal.
success
Thank you all for your help. I ended up building a jig out of 3 100k and a 1k resistor and an igo adapter. Tore it apart and built like jig and like every end to a Macguyver episode the crazy contraption worked like a charm. Funny thing is I loaded stock 2.2 ROM, which in turn bricked the phone. I got the phone ! computer logo. So I used the jig again and got it flashed to stock and up from there to Cyanogenmod 2.3.3.
Thanks again everyone.
So im on an i9000.
I was on Darkys Rom 9.5 for months. It was raining pretty hard here and my phone got wet for like maybe <5 seconds. The menu and back key began to stop working. I dried phone and thye began to work but then my phone wouldnt turn off it would flash on/off. After taking out battery and putting it back in that fixed itself, but then slowly the home button stopped working. I did a factory reset, still didnt work. But I then tried going to download and recovery using 3 button method...and I could. But I couldn not get response from home button while the phone was on in normal usage mode. I flashed Darkys 10.1 still same problem.
Darky rom your problem as always kill it flash stock rom with pit and repartition checked .
jje
I think you flashed the false rom, i think you flashed the rom for the cappy or the vibrant
reflash the right one for your phone in Odin.
I have a i9000 16GB European version Galaxy S
The menu and back buttons stopped working after I flashed a custom rom. They light but they won't respond to touch at all. I have since went back to stock firmware but the issue persists. I have opened up the phone to see if any flex cables became lose, but the only flex cable there is for the home button (which is the only button that works btw). Can anybody help out? Thanks!
Try to:
1. Factory Reset;
2. Flash Stock ROM with re-partition.
