hi there, I have the same issue with auto-rotation, it does not work anymore (even if auto-rotate toggle is on).
I dialed your code, and as result, I have a black arrow pointing up, with written below 'Accelerometer Senor Test'.. how can I understand if it is actually working? Thanks for your time.
Update: here's how test works, http://dc442.4shared.com/doc/L_8P0YtP/preview.html
For me, the arrow does not move.. so, what should I do?

first try to reset the phone and test.
if not, flash stock firmware and test.
if it doesnt work, it means you have a hardware issue (sensor broken)

I see, but, do you know is there any other option than hard resetting? Elixir 2 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bartat.android.elixir&hl=it) detects my accelerometer (by giving detailed informations), but it is like it is stucked / frozen.
I wonder if there is a way to 'un'freeze it.

Okay, TY, I see if I can find alternatives, I'm going to update this thread soon.
EDIT: finally fixed.
Here's how (for my s3 mini 4.1.2, modded stock TouchWiz):
1) enter Recovery
2) wipe dalvik cache and cache
3) update kernel (in my case, with Virginity's one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550392): it is a modded version of AMJ3 kernel, for me, it works fine).
G-sensor aka Auto rotate aka Screen rotation now is back working fine.
Previously, I had already wiped cache and dalvik cache, so I can only guess that I needed a cleaner kernel.
PS. For future needs, if you have Fastboot on your device (s3 mini has not got), you can also check this out:
Here is a description of the exact process I used to adjust the sensor:
1. Power down phone.
2. Hold volume down button down while turning power on.
3. Wait for black screen with light blue text with yellow text as highlight with blue background.
4. Screen title: Factory Mode with selections, Full Test, Item Test, Test Report, Clear eMMC, Version and Reboot.
5. Select Item Test using the volume up and down button then push the Home button.
6. There is a very long list of items: selected the G-Sensor Calibration > home button.
7. There are four items: Clear Calibration, Do Calibration(20), Do Calibration(40), and Exit.
8. Select Clear Calibration > Home button.
9. Lay on flat surface and do not touch while calibrating.
10. Select Do Calibration(20) > Home button.
11. Select Exit > Home button
12. No selection on this screen used Back Button.
13. Select Reboot > Home button.
14. This reboots back into regular interface and complete.

i had a custom froyo 2.2 rom (cant remember the name) and decided today to install gingerbread 2.3.
i went for cyanogen rom, downloaded the most recent one and copied it to the SD card.
then i went to recovery mode (an old CWM version that was installed the time i installed froyo). wipe everything, install zip from SD card and everything went good.
2.3 is installed and working, but cyanogen doesnt include google apps so i had to download an extra .zip that includes google apps (market, maps, etc). so i rebooted into CWM (now a new version that was installed with the rom v4.0.0.5) but now it doesnt work!
any option i choose from the CWM menu just doesnt do anything and goes back to the menu. if i scrool down the last option (to return to the first option) he writes "back menu button disabled" and if i go again it writes "back menu button enabled" but still doesnt do anything.
i search the forum and the web and found nothing, please help me because im getting scared that the phone might be broken..
thanks in advance.

Use the vol + and vol - buttons to move the menu selection cursor. You can cycle through the entire menu wrapping 3 times or you can move backwards from the top choice to the bottom choice then forwards to the top choice again, etc. the source code waits for this "wrapping" to occur 3 times before it enables the back option again.

Thanks a ton . The issue was solved by selecting with the power button for some reason. I'd been trying that earlier but pressing it alongwith the menu button so nothing had happened. Anyways, thanks again for your help and I hope this helps some future noob!

why does it do that??

+1. What's the rationale for it?
I think it was originally to work around some broken hardware on an old phone. There may be comments in the source code, but i haven't looked in a long time.
EDIT: /bootable/recovery/recovery.c says
// Some users with dead enter keys need a way to turn on power to select.
// Jiggering across the wrapping menu is one "secret" way to enable it.
// We can't rely on /cache or /sdcard since they may not be available.

And you have to "wrap" 3 times to get the back button to be enabled/disabled.

Thanks Chezbel, you're my hero!
Saved me too, thanks!
i had this problem once, can't remember how i unlocked the back button but i think i pressed both volume buttons at the same time and it unlocked.

I have a i9000 16GB European version Galaxy S
The menu and back buttons stopped working after I flashed a custom rom. They light but they won't respond to touch at all. I have since went back to stock firmware but the issue persists. I have opened up the phone to see if any flex cables became lose, but the only flex cable there is for the home button (which is the only button that works btw). Can anybody help out? Thanks!
Try to:
1. Factory Reset;
2. Flash Stock ROM with re-partition.

I already did that but it still doesnt work
Can be sensor hardware related problem then...
Hi,
I downloaded a JB 4.2.2 CyanogenMod ROM from the original development's thread. I tried a couple of similar ROMs previously, but my home button doesn't work correctly on apparently any Ice Cream Sandwich + ROM. Essentially what happens is, when the screen is on, the home button is completely useless. Pressing it down, waiting for a few seconds - it just doesn't respond to any command. There are almost no options in the phone related to hardware buttons, and if I, for example, select an option to make holding down the hme button bring up the multitasking window, it still doesn't do anything. The only situation where I observed it doing anything is when the phone's screen is off - pressing the button instantly wakes the device up. I tried flashing the badass kernel, though it didn't really do much. Other hardware buttons seem to be working just fine. I had no such problem on CyanogenMod 7.2 and when I restore a backup with this system, it still works correctly. I don't have problems with getting into recovery either.
Another thing with this ROM is, the lockscreen doesn't appear, no matter if I set a security pattern, set it to slide or whatever else. Pressing the wake button or home button instantly wakes the device up.
I'm not sure whether it's a ROM-specific problem or what, but regardless, as a new user, this is the only forum I can post this problem to. If anyone knows a solution or if such a problem was solved previously, I'd be happy to learn the fix.

Edit: Home button does not wake up when it is in deep sleep. So, it is useless. I am sorry We need another fix.
This is an old unofficial version. Please go to THIS thread for the updated, official version.
All information below this line pertains to the old, unofficial version. Use the link above to get the official version.
Updated (v2) Slow recovery bootup fixed.
This is an unofficial version of CWM Advanced/PhilZ Touch recovery. Main thread located HERE. Go to the main thread to learn about all the features.
It uses the zImage and ramdisk provided by @ketut.kumajaya with a few tweaks to get it working made by myself.
Please take a moment to say thanks and/or donate to @ketut.kumajaya for helping us out.
It takes a few seconds longer for CWM based recoveries to boot than the stock recovery, so be patient.
Credits go to:
@Phil3759 for the advanced features
@ketut.kumajaya for the working zImage
and of course Koush and the CyanogenMod team
Link to kernel source https://github.com/kumajaya/android_kernel_samsung_lt02
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the on-screen menu doesn't show, hit one of the up/down buttons at the bottom to get it to appear. This is the same issue seen with CWM recovery and is caused by booting into recovery with the key combo. I highly recommend using the Quick Boot app or another software method of booting recovery.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Instructions:
1. Download ODIN on your computer.
2. Power off the device.
3. Restart in "Download Mode" by holding the "HOME" button, "Volume Down" and "Power" all at the same time (for about 5 seconds).
4. Hit the "Volume Up" to enter download mode.
5. Start the ODIN exe program. Un-check Auto Reboot. See notes about ODIN below.
6. Connect the device via USB to your computer. Verify the device shows as "Added" in the Message box. If it doesn't show then you need the Samsung USB drivers (just install KIES to get them).
7. Select "PDA" then choose the recovery file you want to flash.
8. Hit "START". Wait for Odin to finish (~10-15 seconds). The message area will display "RES OK" when finished.
9. Wait for device to restart. Skip this step if you unchecked auto reboot.
10. Restart directly to recovery mode before rebooting into OS.(Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen).
11. To get the Internal SDcard to be recognized properly, choose the Advanced option; then touch the "Storage set to" option. It should change from "/data/media/0" to "data/media/". Then reboot recovery using the "Power Options".
I also recommend adjusting the Menu Height to a smaller value using the PhilZ settings option.
Notes about ODIN
--Make sure that "Re-Partition" is NOT checked.
--Auto Reboot can be un-checked if the recovery doesn't flash correctly on your device. Some have reported that un-checking Auto Reboot fixes this issue. If you un-check Auto Reboot, you will need to reboot the device yourself (refer back to step 10).
Instructions for recovery flashable version:
Boot into your previously installed custom recovery.
Select the Install Zip option.
Find the recovery zip.
Flash.
Reboot recovery.
Enjoy your new recovery.

I'm not sure what you mean about the time. It is not supposed to be in the status bar on the lock screen, and that has nothing to do with this recovery.

In regards to it reacting slowly, since you complained about that with TWRP also, I believe that is a problem with your tablet. I can't imagine it working any faster on mine. Every selection is immediate.
Keep increasing the gui height until it goes to a lower value (around 100 it switches).

Hi, i have a t217A tab 3 7.0 and it has a msm8960 cpu not the msm8930 you mentioed earlier, which shows up under cpuz as a Krait 1.73 gighz
when i boot to recovery it says encrypted and the flash fails. im guessing i need a diffrent version. is there a current build for the touch screen recovery for this version already made and in place ? if so could someone link me ?
and i had a q , you mention that this should be flashed via already flashed recovery , is this mandatory or can i flash the touch version via odin straight away ? do i need to flash the regular non touch recovery then flash the touch or can i get away with directly flashing the touch recovery without first flashing the non touch?
I have rooted already , the method on this forum worked for the t217A
thanks

Hello everyone I tried looking up this problem and maybe I am not using the right words but I could not find a solution. I ended up installing the wrong TWRP recovery from the app to my Note 4 910T and now the touch screen is way off calibration. I ended up installing TWRP 2.0.3.0 Edge / Now that I was able to get the right one the screen still doesn't work right. I have to click almost middle of the screen to select bottom buttons. Any suggestions would help. Thanks
Tried re-flashing N910TUVS2EPK2 (Came with recovery) via ODIN and nothing. I also tried installing the recovery by itself via ODIN and nothing as well. I tried reflashing TWRP 2.0.3.0 and even tried CWM and nothing. I also tried installing these recoveries via ODIN, N910TUVU1ANK4, N910TUVU1ANIH. I tried the BL on its own "N910TUVS2EPK2" . No luck yet.

So..I did that... and it just flashes something too fast to read, then says "mmi complete" and the problem continues..
....and now... i feel like an idiot.... I was not typing the * ... just #2663#.. it worked when I did it correctly.
I just thought I woudl point it out, in case someone else misses it, like I did .
ALSO.. you MUST have an active sim card in when you do it.
