ok, instead of using the hardware buttons to select an option, itshould let you use the capacitative buttons on the bezel.
If you use the volume button to highlight your selection, then i think its either the menu or home capacitative button(the ones on the screen bezel), which will make the selection for you.
Hope it helps.

I have a Samsung Captivate (I897) but I accidentally installed the I9000 firmware on it. Now my home button acts like the back button, The 3 button combo doesn't work, and the back button doesn't work at all. I tried to get it to do SOMETHING and somehow I got it into recovery mode but now i cant get it out and get it to boot up. It shows the normal recovery mode options and i can scroll down and up but I can't select anything because it says use the "select" button but there is no "select" button on the I897. All I need is to get into download mode and i can probably fix it from there. I want to flash it back to factory settings so my fiance can use it. Can someone please help me? I've been searching the forums for days trying to find the same issue but to no avail.
What I9000 firmware? If it was a gingerbread build the button combo for download mode is vol down and power, otherwise it should be the same both volumes then plug in ausb cable... or make a jig.
And just for the hell of it try using the menu button to select something in recovery.
Holy F man you are the man!! i used the volume down and power button and its now in download mode. Now I can try to flash it back with Odin. Thank you soooooo much!!
ok so i tried that and now it wont even turn on at all. idk whats goin on with it. i may just have to send it in to samsung...
Hey guys,
My friend asked me to flash his phone cause he thought it was messed... but after flashing a few roms i think the phone is just buggered...
the home key for some reason activates the search key.
i used the remapping app to make the search key the home key which makes the phone usable..
are the capacitative buttons just screwed or would a restore back to stock fix it?
i've been trying to get into download mode but the damn thing just won't do it.. i just get CWM recovery or at&t splash logo's constantly...
anyone with any advice?
Use a jig to force the DL mode.
A flash to stock may help. Pull the battery and the SD card, put the battery back in, hold both volume buttons, and plug the USB cable in (don't touch the power button). You should go into download mode.
If that doesn't work, try just the volume down button and press the power button.
If that doesn't work, a jig is in your future.
[Edit] Which bootloaders are you on eclair/froyo, i9000 gb, or i897? To get to download mode on i9000 gb bootloaders you need to hold volume down button and the power button. For the others hold both volume buttons and then plug in the usb
^^That's not correct.... I9000 bootloaders are:
Vol down and power = download
Vol up and power = recovery
Op...are you sure you're using a kernel and ROM built for the captivate? Cause using a straight up I9000 kernel/ROM on a captivate will do that...is autorotation 90° off?

Oops on thx. ...which stock firmware did u flash ?? i9000 or i897 & which firmware ??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
my capacitive started going erratic a while ago and I fixed it with a simple cleaning as follows:
removed screen protector.
used a toothpick and fingernail to clean the very small seam between the case and the bottom of the screen and along the sides. then I took a microfiber screen cleaner cloth and firmly, pressed a corner of the cloth into the seam and dragged it along the seam. the cleaning removed a little bit of greasy/oily debris that had been in the bottom seam.
then wiped the entire screen clean with microfiber cleaning cloth and installed a new screen protector.
no problems since then.
It doesn't take too much debris to change the location of the capacitance from your finger or your stylus.

I've flashed the i897. But as I've mentioned before, i solved in some kind of way with buttonremapper. On the back button i've put search and on search the back button.
so yeah, I'm trying to flash CM7.2 to my friends Mini, but her phone has a broken Home button... so... I can't even get into download mode so I could use Odin to flash CWM to the device.
I got as far as getting it rooted, then I thought that I'd be able to flash CWM via RomManager, since I did that on my other friends Desire that had problems with some other button. But in RomManager when I choose to flash CWM it asks me to confirm my phone model, but doesn't show a option for the Mini? I checked on CWM's homepage and there they got a recovery for the mini so why isn't it in RomManager?
So anyone of you got any idea of how to flash CWM without that damn home button? Something as ADB or something?
Please help, this is so damn frustrating!
EDIT: SERIOUSLY NEED HELP ASAP! I thought that if I managed to get into the stock recovery I might be able to flash something from there, BUT APPARENTLY the stock recovery uses the Home button instead of the power button to choose an option, so now I'm stuck in stock recovery, can't choose anything, and when rebooting the phone boot back into the recovery! what the **** samsung? I can't get past recovery without a homebutton? not even pulling the battery helps!!! The phone is practically bricked now
Do not even think of using ROM Manager. It is responsible for many hard bricks for galaxy mini users.
Maybe you should get the home button fixed. :| Without that how you gonna multi task? Soft keys? Better fix it or sell the phone. Not worth keeping it without a working home button.

I know that the homebutton is rather important but it's not my phone, it's my friend's phone and she doesn't care if it works or not as she doesn't use the phone that much for multitasking.
oh by the way, I managed to get ONE successful home button press while in the recovery I placed a pen on top of the button and applied all of my super-human strength on that sucker phone rebooted normally, didn't get it into download mode though tried multiple times but no luck, just that one single press... might crack this phone open and see if I can fix that stupid button, or atleast see if I can short 2 contacts while the phone is open and get a home press that way
and I guess there isn't a way to flash anything on this thing without that pesky button
search on google for an application called CWM.apk it does work on our mini and it is a kind of rom manager
in command prompt type
adb reboot download and you will be in download mode
Searched around quite a bit and couldn't find anything relavent.. [reader rolls eyes here]
I have a Galaxy Tab SCH-I800 that I bought that had issues -- the same I'm having now. Upon boot, I get the samsung logo, then verizon logo w/ sound. Verizon logo stays up for a little bit then the device reboots.
Using Heimdall 1.1 I have flashed two different roms.. galaxy cubed 3 & a "2.3.5 stock root... both of which do the same thing.
In recovery mode, I can switch options using the volume u/d, but I am unable to actually select anything.. is the select key the power button, or actually the "home" button. I've tried the default android home button but nothing ever selects. If it is the default android home button can I assume that the digitizer is possibly the issue, or is there some other cause?
Just further notes here.. I was under the assumption that the galaxy cubed 3 pack included CWM, which I flashed with Heimdall, however after the flash when I go into recovery mode, at the top it reads "Android system recovery <3e>" ... hopefully this can help.
Thanks much guys!!
Ok, well I finally got clockworkrecovery on this beast, and can now select using the power button. Now I just can't find a stock update.zip to get this thing back to stock. Any help?
Hi guys
I have my old Note 1 but I can't seem to get the lockscreen working after flashing any tw ROMs at all. I mean it boot straight into home screen and not setup comes up before hand. There is not lock screen even if options are in settings. Any help or explanation would be appreciated. Tried flashing numerous stock ROMs via recovery or Odin and still same. ROM boots up and goes straight to home. Also power button doesn't bring up the options to reboot or power off etc the phone just turns off right away. Thanks
hi i think there is no power button options on stuck rom.

Mate you still get options when you long press it like power off and reboot.....the problem I have is that soon as I press power button phone goes off and I have no lock screen at all. After Odin flash or via recovery I don't get Samsung set up it just goes straight to home screen
ok bro. i dont know about this. maybe you can try to install a stock based modified rom or anothers. maybe works

Have you as a last resort tried using Odin and a pit file so it relays and wipes clean EVERY partition just in case its a setting gone wrong in a location that standerd flashing doesn't cover?
