Hello Forum!
I have a nasty problem. I installed CM7 on my girlfriend's Galaxy Mini, but for any reason, the menu and back key's don't work anymore. They don't even turn on (I'm talking about the light). Without those, the phone is practically unable to use. I tryied to flash stock, chocobread and cm9 without any luck. Several factory resets, wipes and everything, but any luck.
Can you guys please advice?
Thanks in advance!

are you sure you flashed the correct rom? that happened to me once when i accidently flashed a galaxy ace rom on my galaxy mini
also did you wipe cache / wipe data / wipe dalvik cache?

There is light?
Sent from my GT-S5570 using Tapatalk 2
I think u r on the wrong forum...galaxy mini has no backlight for buttons...check the model no. in settings if u hav a doubt..
OK! My mistake. As I said, it's my girlfriend's phone, not my. I have a SGII, that's why I was thinking about the light in the buttons. She just confirm me that they don't light up.
Anyway, they don't work! First, I tryied CM7.2 RC5.7, later, CM7.2 RC1, later Chocobread 3.0.1, finally Stock on 2.3.4 & 2.3.6... nothing!
Yes, I did wipes (factory/cache/dalvik) between all the changes...
Please, help!
wow weird problem....
if you have tried everything and it doesn't work, I suggest you to go to the service center, maybe it causes by hardware problem
The problem is that they were working before!
As soon as I flashed for the first time, they suddenly dead. First, I thought that was a CM7 problem, because the phone was working right but I wanted to flash to have more options. But then, I changed to Chocobread, but nothing, finally to stock, without any luck either...
Try update through KIES?

Flash a firmware which has four files not a one package firmware !
If still it does not works then Care is the answer
It simply is hard problem. Maybe 2 button have been broken!
Please flash stock ROM, then unroot and bring it to samsung center to make them fix it or change a new phone for free ^^

Flash a stock ROM via odin make sure repartition is ticked
Hey,
I have a nexus, but my mate has the note. He is having all sorts of problems with it when it comes to flashing ROMs. I was hoping u smart people here might be able to help
What the problem is, is that only about one in 10 ROMs will install. He flashes the usual way... wipe everything, etc but either gets in a boot loop, or just Samsung comes up on the screen, it disappears and then comes back and this repeats. He has to then pull the battery. Another weird thing is that a ROM that may not have worked a few weeks ago, he tries it again and for some weird reason it works. So far he has never been able to flash an ICS ROM.
Any ideas? I've suggested to him to start completely afresh and use fast boot, etc again, but I'm no expert myself. I've never had any dramas myself with the nexus so this has me completely stumped....
Thanks
Dean
Swiped on my Gnex
Edit: sorry guys, he used Odin, not fast boot.
Maybe he dont follow the instructions correctly

What method is he using to flash? If using pc Odin does the flash get stuck at factoryfs. Img?
Was he on ics stock and did he perform any factory resets on it?
If answers are yes, it's likely he's got traces of damage on his emmc chip, but we need to know where the flash is failing to understand further.

No and no.
His phone came with GB. He downloads the ROMs using his computer then transfers the zip to then flash using CWM recovery.
He has tried lots of different ROMs. He tried to install a new ROM the other day but before doing so he deleted a few ROMs he still had on the SD card. He flashed the new ROM and it didn't work. He freaked coz he didn't do a backup first, but he tried installed the ROMs that were still on the SD card and found them all but one to work, and the one that worked was a ROM that he had tried before but didn't work then, but this time it did work...
What is happening? Is there something he can do?

Try flashing rom with pc odin instead of cwm.
Check out Dr ketan sticky thread in rom development for directions on how to use pc odin. It's simple.
Let us know how you progress.

What?????

Sounds very odd - only though is he's not following instructions correctly..
I would be ok with this if it wasn't almost every time the phone is left alone.
i thought maybe installing CM would help but it still does it, went back to stock firmware (S5830DTLKI4) with no resolution.
It appeared to only be doing it when it is put to sleep, but after i unlocked it and tried to send a text with my Bell Canada sim card the phone restarted again.
It certainly isnt a SoD, because it is turning itself back on.
wifi is off, GPS is off, Bluetooth is off, and it is doing this on a 100% stock install; no market apps installed, no google account even linked.
so it appears to be restarting when i let it go to sleep, and when i try and send a text using a non-Koodo sim card. (although i dont know the effects with a Koodo sim; never had one)
I went to samfirmware and downloaded a md5 for the UK network Orange, but it didnt fix anything as far as i know, i didnt unlock it but it was still restarting itself.
Im wondering is this a software issue (if so, what is happening and is there a way to fix it?), or is this a hardware issue (perhaps there is a faulty capacitor somewhere on the board that isnt filtering voltage spikes and causing the device to reboot because of that)?
i couldn't find any references to this problem ever really being addressed.
help would be greatly appreciated.
The stock Samsung firmware for a Koodo S5830D is unstable, often when I was using it I would get reboots and freezing and a NO SIM CARD error constantly. If you have it rooted and want to install a custom ROM that won't reboot itself, I would recommend taking a look at CM9.1 RC4.1 by Wayland_ACE. I have never experienced a random reboot on that ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868121
Although of course you have to choose the right ROM for you. If you want to stay on Gingerbread, the official CM ROM (or an unofficial version) for the Ace should do the trick. If you don't care as much about stability experiment!
If the firmware is unstable (as it is with Koodo's stock ROM) it won't matter if it is locked or unlocked, if you want stability, change your ROM.

i tried installing the rom you linked to but im still getting the reboot problem; is there something im doing wrong?
i wiped the user data, cleared the cache, and wiped dalvik, then installed the rom you linked, using clockwork 5.0.2.6
however it still seems to want to reboot, what is going on here?

In CWM go into mounts and storage> mount /data, /system, /sdcard. Should fix bootloop.

its not a bootloop though, it's booting into CM and then once the screen goes to sleep the phone restarts itself, just like it did on the stock rom.
i already tried mounting data, system and sdcard, but it didnt help any.
Last resort... After flashing via odin, reboot into recovery & do a factory reset. If the problem persists, stop posting here & rush to service centre with the unrooted stock rom on your phone.

i was hoping id get a better answer than that, but ok then.
ive always hit factory reset and clear cache before using a stock rom, else it will boot loop.
i suppose i'll reload the stock firmware and take it in to the nearest mobile center, i dont know how much good itll do though, the phone is from anther carrier and i got no warranty papers when i bought it off a friend.

Since you don't have the warranty, you'll have to pay for the service anyway. Just be sure that the phone serial no. that's on the label after taking out the battery is intact & you are all fine to get a clean service. There's nothing much you can do by yourself as it doesn't appear to be a software problem. But it might quite happen b'coz of a faulty battery. My friend's galaxy y had the issue & a replacement killed it. So may be it with you. Anyways, before buying you can try it out with your friend's battery & hope to see if the issue is solved & then go buy one. If this doesn't help, head for service as said earlier.

Hi
I just noticed that my n7000 gets stuck on the logo every time it goes flat or the battery is pulled out...sometimes a lil bump and the phone turns off (must be loose battery) but every time I turn it on again it gets stuck on the logo...I've flashed the latest official 4.1.2 rom (rooted) from following the instructions from rootgalaxynote.com. I've been getting out of the "stuck on logo mode" by reflashing the rom but it gets annoying having to do it each time my note is either flat, battery pulled out, or phone bumped...tired of reinstalling the apps over and over...
is there a fix for this?
Thanks to anyone who can help me

Try install the latest Philz kernel (with bootloop fix 2); it seems to work for me (2 days without bootloops now!). Besides, it's super fast too!
