Hi I flash the latest cm7.2 official Rom and everything was fine except for 1 thing the home button isn't working. Every time press the home button it only light up the soft keys but doesn't go to home screen. But when I flash SGSII after flashing cm7.2 my home button works fine any suggestions? Thanks in advance

That's a issue with the gapps of the rom.
Download the ROM Again. I had that problem too, just re-download and flash again.
Oh thanks so it's the gapps? Cos I did not flash gapp.zip be4 I used the rom

Also had this problem with CM7.2 on my Galaxy SII, not sure if the two problems are linked but they could be.
My lockscreen was disabled too, and I was getting no sound.
It's really easy to fix.
I reflashed the latest Google Apps (twice) then rebooted. The home button + lockscreen were still not working. I then shut off the phone, took out the battery, waited about a minute, put the battery back in, and switched back on again.
Everything was back to normal. Never got the problem again.
Try it and see if it fixes it.

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
Miui
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 .

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.
Hi folks,
While this morning my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 was installing an (auto) update from an app (unfortunately I do not know which one), the phone rebooted. But it got caught in the start up screen (Samsung S animation logo). After a while the phone vibrates like there is an app which crashes...
I don't know how to solve this problem, as a factory reset (startup with volume button pressed etc.) did not work out...
Does this issue sound familiar to anyone of you? Thanks for any help...
Regards,
EJ
"as a factory reset (startup with volume button pressed etc.)"? i haven't heard of that one... do you have clocworkmod recovery? Try Volume Up+Home key+Power when/if you get into recovery try a factory reset wipe cache dalvik cache. Try to flash a new rom using odin... to bad that this happened from an app update...
Done that, didnt work.
now fixed though after using the Video Guide of Darky's Resurrection Edition v9.2 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940671.
My SGS is back into business, seems to be working even better then before I bricked it. Thanks Darky!

Hi guys,
Today I rooted my phone by following the procedure of Dr.Ketan to root the galaxy note. Everything went fine but for some reason some stuff went very wrong even if I didn't do anything that wasn't in the instructions. I'm now on stock gingerbread 2.3.5
First I got some forced closes (solved that with Factory Reset in CWM) and when I type with the samsung keyboard I get only "null null..." in textfield. But when I use Swype theres no problem.
My biggest problem is:
I have no longer a lockscreen! So when my phone goes to the black screen after 10 minutes I can't turn in back on. The two soft keys light up for a while just as they should but there's no waking up when I push the power button, and neither does it when I push the home key, which by the way gives me an black with green pixels coming up - screen.. When my screen times I can't wake it anymore and I have to reboot the phone by pressing the power key very long... this is so anyong because I can't use my phone just every 10 minutes
I'm desperate right now. Can't figure it out. What's the solution to this?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Download your stock firmware and flash using odin and re-root.
You can find link to stock firmwares and instructions in this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
(thanks to dr.ketan for this)
The "Null null" is a known issue.
You can get rid of it by flashing the CSC again I believe.
But your best bet given the problems you're having (as mentioned above) is to flash the Stock ROM back through via PC Odin and start again..
Reflash another version GB.
Re-wipe.
You will be fine.
Regarding NULL issue..open mobile odin, select cache and select the ROM you installed..
Null issue will be nullified.
Thanks guys! I flashed the rocket rom over the abyss kernel and it works now!
i followed the below thread and i have flashed the latest[27-1-13] stable release of CM10.1 on my galaxy mini.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085347
I appreciate the great work the developer did. Anyway
1) I am not able to open my default web browser. It shows a white screen for less than a second and disappears.
2) The home button does not show recent apps on long press nor goes to home screen on single press.
3) The phone does not lock at all.
Another small unimportant bug is the settings icon in the quick panel does not work.
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
wipe everything and flash rom, don't flash gapps, reboot.
S5570 to CM10.1
Like me when I flash version Jan-08. So I come back stock 2.3.6. Stock is best ever.
