Home, Talk buttons non-functional.

In addition to the home and talk buttons not working. The phone will not lock when I hit end, it just puts into a sleep mode.
Holding end only gives a reboot and shut down option. This problem surfaced after installing the new SuperD mod. I did a wipe and reinstalled it two nights ago and the problem was resolved, but it has resurfaced tonight.
Anyone have any thoughts on the matter? Should I go back to the old version?

Which new version? The beta or 1.10.2? If it's beta - then you def should go back to stable. If it's 1.10.2 - then you most likely have a hardware problem. A lot of people run Super-D with no problems.
Further more, sometimes your trout-keypad-v3.kl (located in /system/usr/keylayout/) can get corrupted and cause that. It's extremely rare but you may try either re-flashing or just pushing that specific file.
Word of advice (which you may already know): if anything goes wrong and you want to rule out software problem - install a base rom (like the defanged from Cyan's wiki), complete wipe and min options (no Apps2sd, no swap, etc) and see if it fixes the problem. If the problem is gone - you're in lock and something went wrong with the rom. If problem is still there- start looking for a new phone.
Good luck.

I did a fresh install. I repartitioned the sd card, reinstalled all apps. did a factory wipe, reinstalled the base defanged, then did super D. It wasn't the beta, i had upgraded to 1.10.2 and experienced the problems.
It would work fine for two days, then if my phone would shut off (battery has weird contacts) then it would boot back up and my settings would be all messed up, and the keys would work. I would try re installing the ROM, but no fix.
A wipe remedies the problem. I went back to cyanogen last night to see if the problem appears on this rom, so far it hasn't.
I never had this problem until i upgraded from 1.9.3

Strange Captivate issue

OK.. First of all I want you to know that I'm not a n00b and that 99% of the cases I know what I'm doing with my phone but this is a weird one
Problem no.1: The simcard keeps on "disconnecting", resulting in disconnection from the network. Since the first seconds I start the phone it does this. Sometimes it doesnt even accept my PIN as being incorrect, but in the notification bar the SIM+! icon disappears for a moment. This is after I screwed a ROM and returned to stock using the OCD JF6.
Problem no.2: It wont master clear! No matter what I do, it wont do it. I tried since the first second when ODIN detects the phone. I tried it when it fully loads the ROM, it just wont go.
Background: Before, I had installed Froyo JPA i9000 ROM with Reoriented kernel 2.1.2 (voodoo lagfix+color,bln). Everything was soooooo fast on that ROM (with around 100 apps installed) but I wanted to theme it. So I tried to deodex it using xUltimate. I followed the (logical) instructions found in a post here and it didnt want to boot anymore... well, it did but in a FCs symphony.
I did what I believed is right and I returned to stock but I forgot to pull out the SIM card... then these problems appeared.
Gimme a hint what could I do. I'm asking first here because a working PDA without a SIM is .. acceptable but a totally bricked one is worse so before I take any steps further I need your opinion.
Thanks a lot.

No one?

Problem 1: can probably be fixed by reflashing stock with the SIM card *not* in the slot (that's about my only guess, never seen that).
Problem 2: master clear must be done with the phone turned on *NOT* download mode. the phone must be fully booted with adb debugging enabled in settings.
xUlimate: it's a poorly written application and it's success ratio is probably about 50/50, another tool to look into is auto-deodexer. Also, both the framework AND the system apps need to be deodexed to have everything play nicely (gtg taught me this one)

id experiment. from what i gather you were able to flash jf6 but it was a bad flash. does it still have download mode? maybe try to flash again and then try to master clear? maybe try to flash another rom, then try to flash back to stock?
this doesn't sound like anything anyone has seen before so your best bet is to just try something.

Thanks a lot for the replies guys!
The master clear was tried from all phone statuses (booting; finished booting; after the phone operated for a while) except download and recovery (i know is not suppose to be done from there).
I did reflash to stock without the SIM, same issue.
I will try flashing again some other rom. I'll try more and ill post the result here

OK, so, it seems that for some reason, after stock restore there were still remaining of XEE CSC in the phone..
I loaded the JPA back and now is all fine.

I am having the same issue, unable to clear with CWM or odin, or within the OS in either the stock rom or axura 4 or 5...
Can you please elaborate on your solution?
CSC looks familar to me, thats an ODIN file right? If so, what part of the phone would that be (kernal, modem, OS)?
What do you mean by load JPA? Odin package or CWM? WHole rom or specific parts.
thanks...this has got me stumped

Well, my issue is that I cannot use 2.1 anymore (any 2.1, tried stock Captivate and JM8 from i9000), I don't understand what is wrong but my first bet is that the /efs partition got changed in some way when I loaded JPA i9000 ROM.
Froyo works fine, any ROM I load give me full functionality but on 2.1 the SIM gets disconnected all the time and after a while the phone reboots by itself. Just to make it clear, I never had the usual Captivate reboot issue, it started when this SIM problem appeared.
Note: my product codes are fine, in both nv_data.bin and nv_data.bak the product code is finishing in ATT and my IMEI is available in both 2.1 and 2.2 and is correct, so no IMEI corruption here.
Could someone give me a hint?? Would flashing to stock with phone EFS clear help?

[Q] Darky's ROM v9.5 - It isn't stable for me

My starting point...
This was loaded with PIT *512, Odin 1.7, and PDA 20110318_ZSJPJ.tar (ASIA) with repartition selected
Wifi, APN, phone, android market, auto sync, and camera – working
*#1234# PDA I9000ZSJPJ PHONE I9000ZSJPG CSC I9000OZSJPG
*2767*3855# Device rebooted normally after factory reset. All settings lost, the device start appears to be fresh and clean.
Android system recovery 3e
Automatic time updating has never worked for me. I unselect automatic and manually choose Beijing +8.
Darky's ROM v9.5 Installation
Followed instructions found here:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...rkys-rom-on-2-2-2-2-1-i9000-i9000m-only.1041/
Setup Darky’s ROM Configurator
Flashed Dark_Core_1.0.tar with Odin 1.3
The Dark Core kernel does not work on my phone. Still Android system recovery (3e)
Revised ROM configurator to skip kernel as per alternative kernel method
Flashed speedmod-kernel-k13d-500hz.tar with Odin 1.3
I skipped backup step. Fresh phone so no reason to backup
Completed efsbackup
Through recovery, wipe data/factory reset completed
Through recovery, Darky’s ROM v9.5 flash completed
Selected reboot device through recovery screen
The rest of the story...
This is a list of every action I took after completing what seemed to be a flawless installation of the ROM.
Updated phone settings…. Language, time, wifi password, google password, etc.
Sync of gmail, google contacts, and google calendar completed without problems.

Opened home switcher app. Set homeswitcher to ‘Launcher’
Checked camera. Pressed home key and phone went back to original setup wizard screen, the one you see when you wipe your phone. I continued to press next to get through the sequence. Home screen switched back to ‘TwLauncher’ appeared to be the only change.
Pressed home button. Ticked box to set default. Selected ‘Launcher’
Tested camera again. I pressed the home key to get out of the app and the home switcher option came up again. Once again, selected to tick box to set the action as a default and picked ‘Launcher’.
Tested camera again. The home button properly went to the default this time.
The Places app does not launch.
Modified some settings inside Spare Parts app. Animation and wifi sleep policy.
Changed faster fix app to show China.
Opened Gmail app, rec’d ‘stopped unexpectedly’ message. Force close.
Tried to respond to an SMS message, rec’d ‘stopped unexpectedly’ message when I tapped the box to bring up the keyboard. Force close.
Opened Messaging app and tried again to respond to SMS message with same result.
Went to settings, modified input method to ‘Touch Input Chinese’, the device shutdown immediately.
Restarted phone. Unlocked screen and rec’d message ‘Process system is not responding’. It stayed there momentarily and then did a very quick reboot. I unlocked the screen and rec’d the same message.
I selected force close. The home screen was black with no wifi or phone service. Touching the applications button opened the list of app icons but the phone eventually the device did its very quick reboot.
I held the power button down for several seconds to force the device to turn off. I pressed the power button in hopes of it starting up normally… with the exception of having no phone service, it did seem to start normally.

Rebooted device. No change in status from note immediately above.
From power off menu, selected recovery. Installed Darky’s ROM again from SDcard.
No personal information was lost. No change in status of phone service.

Flashed stock ROM and returned to starting point noted at beginning of the post.

Please forgive the post above if you find it offensively long. I have spent the past week reading anything I can as it relates to Darky’s ROM and can’t find anything that seems to relate to the problems I am finding. Admittedly, I am a n00b and this is my very first experience with custom ROM in the android OS. (I made the switch from iOS a month or so ago where the game of JB and unlocks became to frustrating.)
I have installed Darky’s ROM many times over the past week and cannot get anywhere near what I consider a stable platform. Events such as ‘force close’ and system reboots are so frequent, surely that can’t be the norm. Is this to be expected?
From the description in the post above, have I done something wrong? It seems like the most frequent response and solution is to flash the ROM again. I have done that and never seem to get the same response.
I realize this is a custom ROM. I just don’t hear others mentioning the issues I have described so I am guessing they don’t exist for anyone else.

You should tell Darky .
Majority of helps posted on this forum are for Darky roms fact not fiction .

@jje Thanks for your advice. I will take this question over to Darky's forum. I was hoping that the larger pool of potential readers here would be able to offer some advice.

Possibly if you hang around a bit someone may come up with an answer .
Not an answer but you can build your own rom .

This is not an answer, but for me Darky's ROM v9.5 wasn't stable either. It just stopped working every few hours, just turned off my phone without notice etc.
I'm not sure what the problems was but I think there are some unresolved issues with v9.5.
After flashing stock JVK + darky10kernel + Darky's ROM v10.0 RC3, all my problems were gone tho and my phone has never been smoother. But v9.5.. I just don't know.

quite weird how so many people say 9.5 is good, and so many other people say 9.5 is bad
i upgraded to 9.5 from 9.2 about 4 hours ago and so far it seems fine
I did a no-wipe upgrade and am using dark core kernel 1.0 that came with the mod itself
not switching to 10.0 because it requires a wipe cant be bothered till 2.3 goes official
Try flashing kernel 1.2 darkcore

9.5 not rock solid, but not that bad either
I'm running 9.5 for a couple of days now, and although I ran into some minor problems, I cannot say it is that bad. It hang once, sometimes I have a small problem installing apps from the Market, but apart from that, it's OK. I think 9.3 had less problems, so if you want to go for a more stable Darky's ROM, go for 9.3. Or wait until 10 is official released.

Go through resurection
One more tip: I noticed you started from a non-Darky ROM. What you can do (and it's what I did) is install the Resurection edition of Darky's ROM. It's essentially the 9.2 version and you can flash it with Odin. After doing that, you can be sure to have a clean Darky environment. You can even see how that one works, I know a few colleagues who are still on 9.2 and fully happy with that. But if you want to upgrade, it's much easier from there. Just use Darky's configurator after you copied the ZIP file to you SD card. It's easy, and like I said, for me it is pretty stable!

Flash 9.3 first then flash over that with 9.5. I have used a lot of Darky's roms and never once had any major issues with them. 9.5 is a good rom

Told them out of the thousands at least one has a good user experience .

I want to go backwards (I am on 9.5 and battery life sucks).
How do I go from 9.5 to 9.4? Can I just download 9.4 and use the Darky's Rom Configurator and install it the same way I went from 9.4. to 9.5?

9.4 was deprecated due to heavy issues. The previous stable one is 9.3. You can install it with Darky's configurator, indeed.

Bugs will be fixed step by step ....
But I prefer Ultimate v8.2 with Tegrak Kernel ...

[Q] My most interesting problem ever

Hy everyone!
I have found a very interesting problem regarding my kaiser130 and android...or maybe the problem is in the user?
Anyhow my problem is that no matter which android build i try,no matter which kernel and which radio i dont have working wifi and data connection.
At first everything worked fine but then i had some problems and i didnt have time to fiddle around with android because it wasnt too stable and i had many FC-s so i had to go back to winmo.I had 6.1 on it before,have put on hardspl3.34 then started flashing android and after that i put back winmo from a shipped package with ruu . Now i have more time and i started to experiment with android again.I wanted to use cyanogenmod 6.1.2 but had the wifi-error problem but as i saw many other people had the same so i thought i'd go back to another build,namely incubus26jc's super froyo rls16 i used that for days but then when i had to use the apn or wifi it didnt work...or actually wifi worked but only with static ip,i tried switching kernels from a base one downloaded with atools to clemsyns and scoots but nothing worked for me better yet it even got worse it started producing the wifi-error again.I use the most recent radio tried both the emo version and the atw to no success tried installing both to nand sys on nand data ext2 data.img but nothing seems to be working and now no matter which build i try everytime i get the wifi-error and apn isnt working.Can it be that my bootloader is tarting to fail?Or is my kernel getting corrupted?
Oh and i always applied the appropriate module updates for each kernel.
Can somebudy suggest something useful or i was thinking that is it possible to very hard reset the phone i mean to put it back the way it was?Format the nand put back a normal spl,i dont mind trying thing again but i need the data connection and the wifi.
Oh and i forgot to mention the most interesting thing,when i turn on data it actually turns on and in the modem i can see that it even gets an ip address from my phone provider.

sgs gone crazy

hi there
getting straight to the problem : i got my sgs (international I9000) 3 months ago and tried to upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2 but failed many times. then i accidently flashed a vibrant rom (eugene one) in my phone and i couldn't get to dl or recovery mode so i gave it to a local store here that helped me get back to stock 2.1 but i didn't know how he did it .. probably with a jig
everything went fine and i was able to enter both modes but then NUMEROUS force closes appears whenever i open most of apps (google apps and other 3rd party apps but others like massege, phone, contacts, players works fine), can't delete or put anything in the sd card . I tried to fix it with flashing to another stock roms i even tried 2.3 , the flashes were ok but force closes kept coming. I also tried wipe data and factory reset from recovery but to no avail. also when i change settings, delete files, etc .. and then reboot everything goes back to how it was before i did the change
i read many threads that my phone internal might be corrupted from all this @*&* and i thought i would ask here before sending it to samsung hoping i would find a solution here
regards and sorry for bad english

I flashed a vibrant and captivate rom on the first day i got my SGS and promptly soft bricked it.
Was able to get it back and running though, no force closes.
I suggest backing up all your phone internal data SD data (On your computer) etc. And send it to Samsung and just replace all the data afterwards.
I'm not experience enough to aid you (Sorry) and and the problems are a little ambiguous.
Hope i have helped. Good luck getting your phone back and running again
