Hey guys! I hope you can help me D:
My Galaxy S:
CM7 latest update #57 or so
Kernel: glitch v11 (also doesnt work with standard kernel)
Since today my homebutton isnt working correctly. It only works for getting into recovery and into download mode.
If i press it in the keytest in cwm recovery it isnt recognized, same when the phone is booted :-S
I reflashed the update with deleting the cache but that doesnt work D-:
Have you guys any idea? :-/
Thanks

I'm sorry, but I think that's your only choice.. To me, it seems like a hardware-related malfunction..
Hmmm yes i think youre right.
I just tried to get into recovery only with volume up + turn on button... thats working
"
I will flash samsung original firmware, maybe it works ^^

If it does: great!
If it doesn't: RMA must be the way..
you have to send your phone to Samsung services it'll be best solution i think.
Dudeeee, what on earth man? RMA should only be treated as a last resort. Don't give up so easily. He hasn't even tried flashing back to stock roms.
He already said it works for getting into recovery and download mode, which indicates it's working to some degree.
OP, flash that stock firmware and tell us what happens.

If you read my post correctly, you'll notice that I've suggested to flash the stock-firmware _before_ sending it as a RMA to Samsung..

Again, read his post correctly - he was pressing "Volume Up" + "Power On" and did _not_ mention any press on the Home-button..

So how do you think he has access to recovery???.......He mentionned he was able to go into recovery mode,basically,the home button works.
I'm pretty sure it's a software related problem.
Go with the stock rom first and tell us the result.
Nope.
Im on stock rom now..
The home button is not working
I got into Download mode with Volume down and Turn-on-button
I havent touched the home button at all
Dont know why thats working ^^...
Tommorow im bringin it to the Shop for RMA
OR do you have some Ideas
It is as though your home button is stuck to "on".
I fear that the next step is to rma.

I'll help you out: at first, you paint me as a fool, because you're too blind to read my post correctly.

Result: read first, think second, think again, _then_ - and only then - post, but stay polite at _any_ time!
Had the exact same issue with the button working for booting into recovery and download mode.
Sorry to say this is hardware related and I hope your rma is accepted.
I took mine to the repair centre and they told be it is water damaged. I never dropped it in water though.
Also the home button is glued to the whole freaking screen. The samsung part comes as the whole lcd assembly with the buttons with it so I was quoted 245 dollars.
You can buy the button online but I digest you to have a look on YouTube for the dude that disassemble the phone. You will see how hard it is
By the way, my button stopped working for recovery as well although now of o press hard on it it does work (for booting and in the OS).
last but not least, you will learn how to use the phone without the home button
Good luck with the rma

Ok guys, I feel this is just the end of the games... I was flashing back the Roto JME fw with the swype keyboard issue fixed that I have just made, when I accidentally unplugged the tab while starting flashing and in downloading mode.
Now all I get is a logo with a phone an alert symbol and a computer .
Windows as well as Odin see it, but I can't do anything, as Odin hangs on waiting for connection, or something like that.
Is there anything I can do?? Or do I really have to take it to the warranty? And if I will have to take it to the warranty will they see I have previously flashed a beta rooted image on it??
Here's what I am talking about
Please I need some help..
Thanks

I've heard plenty of goofy stories about bricking devices over the years. You must conclude the following:
1.Flash your device in a locked room to avoid your wife/ child pulling cables or pressing buttons.
2.Don't touch anything while you're flashing. This is why many people that could help you will ignore you after reading about 'accidentally disconnected' wires - they just assume you're a moron not worth helping.
3.Read instructions carefully and write the procedure out in your own words if its your first time.
I've been flashing for years and haven't had a brick yet. Not crossing my fingers either because it has little to do with luck and much to do with care. In this way its a lot like making babies...

Good advice.
My only semi-bricks (that involved an hour or two of trial and error to unbrick) resulted from some manner of overzealous cable unplugging.

Well, first of all thanks for ur nice words. Let me just say that I was about to disconnect another device from the hub where the GTAB was attached and flashing at that time, and yea, I accidentally unplugged the GTAB instead of the other device. I may be a moron, thanks, and thankfully not everyone believes themselves as god, which is a good reason to not help other people who are in troubles, even if for stupid things sometimes... If everyone were thinking like u we were probably still at the age of 1400 ...
Mate it wasn't a barb directed at you personally, but you weren't exactly careful were you?
I'm no god... but I've never bricked a device either, and I've been flashing for over five years now. To top it off I've almost never owned a device which could be taken back to the shop (90% of them come from other countries, not my local retailers). Perhaps this has taught me to be careful.
In any case, what I said holds true, and if you ask around I'm certain you find most will agree.
Dude, you have the best avatar! I can't keep my eyes away! Good luck, and don't worry about mistakes - that is one reason this forum exists.
Cannot start my Gtab after trying update JMC
...Hello everybody,
I am really worry about the fact my Gtab doesn't want to switch on after trying to flash it. I tried all process to put it on download mode or recovery but nothing work.
Do you have any idea about it ? Is there a specific procedure to switch on (eg : press power for 1 minutes + blablabla).
My provider doesn't want to take my Gtab in warenty before my contract is activated (the 4th of february).
Thank you for your answer

I also had a semi-bricked VZW Tab, with the phone-triangle-computer warning graphic at start up. (I flashed a new boot loader, and failed to read the instructions closely enough. Either the file was incorrect for my device, or the drivers were not loaded correctly, but my tablet was borked.)
Using heimdall 1.3.2 (with the correct drivers, on a 32-bit windows system), I clicked the "close pc screen" option to clear the warning.
I then held the power button until it turned off, then held vol+ and power to re-enter download mode. Once in download mode, I used heimdall 1.1.1 to flash the zImage from SCH-I800-Stock-Rooted-2.3.5. My tablet (still unrooted, and still stock?) booted, but sat at the SAMSUNG logo for ten minutes or more. (It announced its progress, telling me periodically "five minutes remaining", etc.)
Once it finished, my tablet was revived. I will now follow the above advice and read all instructions very carefully, re-writing them in my own words to ensure I understand what I'm doing, before I try this again.

...like REALLY bricked
bumping this old thread in hopes that someone can point me in the right direction...
Got my p7510 (10.1" wifi retail) stuck pretty badly when trying to restore stock ROM coming from Overcome (it came rooted from ebay). From what I gather from the forums, seems like my bootloader is still locked.
whenever I attempt to flash a BOOTLOADER, PIT, or PDA using ODIN it connects, initializes, and gets stuck on "Flashing boot.img"
I think the recovery partition is damaged. When I boot using Power + Volume Down, I can get to the screen where you select recovery mode or download mode but recovery mode will not load. The screen flickers when I select recovery, but goes nowhere. Download mode works.
I tried using nvflash to force the right software onto it but I get error 0x4 (usb write failed).
There has to be a way to restore the stock bootloader and get this thing running again. Tablet will not boot android at this point. I have been searching the forums for about a week now, anyone have any ideas?
Hi guys, My galaxy note isn't working properly.
I can't see anything on the screen. (Black screen) but touch works.
I can still see the lights on menu and back button. Phone itself works fine. I called the phone and slide pick up even though I can't see the screen, I can talk.
So basically screen has stop show images.
Any idea what it is?
What did you do?
Honestly I didn't do anything. I left my phone in my bag then couple of hours later it stopped working. Works fine in the morning.
Can you elaborate your Note's configuration? Which ROM, kernel, etc?

Phone is rooted, Running rocket ROM. Been running rocket ROM for almost 1 month. I didn't do anything before this happen.
and fyi, when I boot up the phone, still can't see anything, even with recovery mode.
Probably an SOD. Have you tried rebooting? Which kernel do you use?

When I rebooted my phone, I can still hear my unopened text messages notification sound. Buttons and touch are responsive.
and phone is rooted, doesn't that void the warranty?
this has happened to me a couple of times..

i wonder what this problem is??
thankfully it only happens once in a blue moon...

Do you have custom binary counter increment and/or yellow triangle?
Well if you can't see anything on the screen, they won't either, provided it is a hardware malfunction.
I bought this phone on eBay, and it's overseas seller. Do I contact Samsung or the seller?
You should contact the party responsible for the warranty of your product.
Well, if they find out that you are on custom ROM they could deny warranty.
Since it looks like your screen went off, PC odin should still work, unconditionally.
So just boot up the phone in download mode (vol down+ menu+ power), connect to PC odin and flash stock firmware relevant to your country and you are good to go.

Hey this does not mean that your screen works, sorry for my misleading reply.
That is just to be sure that you get the warranty.
still doesn't work. Gonna have to send it for warranty i guess...
and could this be like a loose plug/connector inside a phone?

Be careful..it might brick your phone completely as the power button is linked to motherboard. This has happened to my friend's mini, when he gave it in so called samsung service center....even they failed to repair power button and bricked his phone...they gave him a dead phone..

Dude, virus cannot affect your hardware. But still if you think then make a full.format
Go to cwm - mount - format system etc
P.S this will format your OS too u then need immediatly flash a rom.
Or
Open your galaxy mini
Clean power button
Re close it
It's simple YouTube it.

There's no such thing as virus can affects the power button.
Really, Android malware isn't exact thing as Window's malware. Android's virus needs permission to make your power button not working.
This is a hardware problem, I believe. Try to send it to SSC.

I managed to fix the button. How? I dont know
but I'll tell what happened.
I installed the Miui rom v4 by magmini, a couple days later I was watching a video and turned the phone upside down.
and the button is working again, I'm still trying to understand what happened.

Well good for you to figure it out.
Hi..
Facing this problem with my phone..have tried a lot of googling but couldnt find anything..was just able to install the drivers for qualcomm msm..phone is not going beyond this screen after starting..any help is appreciated..
Well, that's less bad than what happened to *my* T899M... Have you tried hitting the Windows button to start recovery, as the screen suggests? Alternatively, you may be able to do a boot-time hard reset (the kind done by holding some buttons - I forget which ones, but it's documented online - while turning the phone on) since you were able to get as far as the Windows bootloader.
Without knowing more about what in particular has died, I can't really help.
hitting windows button doesnt do anything. although i was able to enter into something by holding the vol up+ power..but dunno what to do after that..
hard reset doesnt work either..im not able to reach the "exclamation" screen.the phone just vibrates and goes looping the windows screen..
any suggestions please..?? seems like a paper weight in the making..

First : start explaining when this happend ?
did you update the phone with the Cortana alpha firmware ? ( the last update on preview for developers)
if you did that then you can sent your phone back because there is no rom for your phone , only repair center can help you with that.

Hi,
So i thought i knew what i was doing and tried to root my 6gb Alpha but apparently i didn't know what i was doing and now i'm stuck in a bootloop with the phone complaining it is in redstate and insecure. I have tried the stock recovery and both cleared cache and factory reset and still nothing. The phone isn't rooted(obviously) anyone one with more knowledge on this have any ideas? I'm about to tear my hair out.
Would advise you flash the old stock ROM. You can find instruction on how to do that in one of many threads in Maze Alpha section of this forum.
Thanks, I tried that with flashtool,now when the phone powers on the backlight comes on and that's it oh I can adjust the volume and it clicks as if the phone is locking when I hit the power button but that's it no images on screen.

Sure you flashed the 6GB rom and not the 4GB one?
Maybe try it again and check if there are no errors visible during the flash.
Just found this on the Gearbest blog, which is worth trying first if you flashed the correct rom : https://www.gearbest.com/blog/how-to/solutions-to-maze-alpha-4g-phablet-problems-2018
If the problem still exists, try resetting your phone in the following steps (Note: back up all your important data on the phone, or the data will be wiped after the factory reset):
a. Power off your phone. Then press the Volume up key and Power key at the same time until it navigates to Recovery Mode.
b. Use Volume up/down key to select "Wipe data/Factory reset".
c. Use Power key to confirm.
d. Use Volume key to select "Yes - Delete Alluser".
e. Once the resetting is finished, your phone will reboot automatically. It will take a few minutes to recover. Please wait patiently.
Unfortunately I can't factory reset without a screen. I'll double check the Rom pretty sure it was the correct one, I think it may be a return and play dumb job.
