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.
I bet you flashed gapps...

Yes. Wipe data, reflash, wait until boot, then go to recovery and then flash gapps.

Perfect! Thank you very much. :good:
(it works after flashing gapps)
Edit: Home button does not wake up when it is in deep sleep. So, it is useless. I am sorry We need another fix.

hold volume down, home and power buttons together for like 12 sec then the system should enter into recover mode.scroll by volume keys and reach factory reset and press home key.i thick this will resolve the issue.

go to recovery and wipe data flash rom then again wipe data
Your phone is bricked. You'll have to reflash a ROM and wipe data.

No, he isn't bricked yet. He just stuck at ANDROID text. So maybe half-bricked. If he can enter Recovery Mode then you are in good luck. If he can't then bad luck, but if he can enter Download Mode, then lucky come to you ! (then if he can't, congrats... you have a trashed phone.)

Agreed. If you can enter recovery and/or download, just go and reflash another rom or the stock rom through CWM or ODIN.
Maybe one click unroot?

oh my, that's a big problem... go to recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache, then format system, flash rom again, and reboot...
Lol...don't be afraid nothing has happened ...since it uses aroma installer you should not wipe data before flashing miui...
Here is what you can do...
Flash a new rom may cm7 or anyother (not miui) ...then again boot into recovery and flash miui without wiping data ...afaik you will be ok...

Take the back off, pull the battery. Put it all back, turn on the phone holding the POWER and the -VOL to boot into recovery.
Did you fix the permissions..?

I think the problem was I tried flashing cyanogenmod from a custom rom, or I wiped the OS. I can't turn off the phone or get it into recovery/bootloader. If I hold down the power button it the buttons light up but it never turns off. Am I going to have to wait until the battery runs out? It was at like 66%.
Yep just wait till battery runs doqn then go into recovery mode and flash rom from there, its not a good idea to flash a rom wile running your rom.

Thanks for the reply, after I flashed the zip, I wiped dalvik, cache, data, and system in TWRP. Did I wipe too many things? Usually I wipe these before flashing a new rom, but the guide mentioned wiping after flashing.

I'm pretty sure you would only need to wipe cache/del cache after flashing
Use the file attached to see if you can get into recovery and sideload the rom again
Press shift and right click inside the folder and choose open cmd window here
then type adbreboot recovery
that should get you to recovery

I am not sure what you mean by pressing shift and right clicking for the cmd window, when I shift and right click in the folder nothing different happens than if I just right click.
After you flashed the Rom, you erased it by wiping system...you do your wipes before, never after. The zip should still be on internal, unless you wiped that too..

Found the cmd window option, couldn't edit post. it says "adbreboot not recognized as internal command"
the zips should still be on the internal, didn't wipe that.

my bad adb reboot recovery
For what its worth, I've ran into the frozen hard boot issue and read in the international forum that if you hold it over/under a bright light while holding down the power key or power/volume key it will then work. I tried it after being hung up and it worked for me. Just wanted to put that out there in case anyone runs into that issue in the future.

Interesting, I locked up my phone once and it was doing same thing as op. It would just never reboot. I had to wait till the battery died.

Ya theres your issue when you wiped system you wiped your rom. That shouldn't be done unless your about to flash a new rom but my best bet is to drain the battery then charge it for a couple minutes and reboot your phone and flash your rom since system only wipes your rom not your files.

I can vouch for this as well. I tried every other method out there to get it to reboot (adb, button combinations, and the like). Went outside and pressed power and volume down in front of my car headlights, BOOM reboot. Weird, but useful knowledge, I feel like it should go in the FAQ.

WOW that worked. I was stuck on boot screen and thinking I am not liking this phone very much If i cant pull that battery when things go south...... and waiting for a full battery to die is ridiculous.
Thanks man!!!.

Hi,
I use s3 mini and maclaw's cm11 with twrp. But now i cannot do anything with my phone. Cant delete any file, cant setup or remove any program, cant setup any cwm. Like deepfreeze software when i reboot system all changes gone.
i try odin with 2-3 different roms. i says pass but when i reboot nothing changes. Again cyanogenmod 11 starts. I delete a file from internal sd card, everything seems ok, but when i reboot that file is here, nothing happens to that file, no delete. I remove a program, everything is ok but when i reboot nothing happens to that program.
what can i do?
Sorry my english
Hello!
It's not clear... it worked for a while with cm11 and then you have this issue all of a sudden, or this issue happened when you installed cm11?

it worked for a while with cm11 ( one month ) and then I have this issue all of a sudden
I had an issue with Odin/cm11. Device was recognized by Odin & flash went OK/passed but nothing changed. All apps n settings were intact. Every time I used Odin before resulted in factory data reset.
Why did this not happen on this device?
I'm using latest Odin & latest cm11 from the geniuses at maclaw studio.
Any ideas??

Try flashing stock ROM (No root) reroot, and see if the problem still exists.

Could be hardware fault? Since when did this start happening?
By any chance before flashing a custom rom did you turn button backlight off? If so, flash a stock/based rom, turn them on and flash your custom rom.
At least this solved for me 2 days ago which happened for the first time.

Thanks for the tip but no unfourtnately i didnt - i saw a topic after i posted that there are problems on some phones with these rom/recovery. :crying:
I posted this in the TWRP recovery topic:
I was on the CM11 rom and it is the same with any rom based on anything other than stock rom.
They blink a couple of times in the recovery and don't work at all in recovery but there are softkeys. In the rom/system it will take 30 seconds to a minute to work and they will blink until they work randomly.
I got it to work by flashing everything stock again (i had a wrong stock rom i think).
After i flash the TWRP or any other recovery the buttons will act weird and take about 30 seconds to a minute to work in the stock rom or any other stock based rom.
The buttons don't work in any other nonstock based rom on my I8190N.
Is there a fix to this?
