Try back or power button.

The hardware power button on my captivate finally bit the dust. It just stopped working. This would be okay if I were rooted and could install the button remapper app, but its a non market app. I'm on stock firmware and I can't apply root because I'm unable use the power button to press okay to reinstall packages for root. No root means no remapped power button.
Is there anyway to either allow non market apps without root, or to be able to root without going into recovery?
Edit: Looking for a solution that doesn't include replacing the power button
Edit2: If you lose your power button do not go into recovery and expect the search key you remapped into a power button to work. I finally got superoneclick to root and Sideload Wonder Machine to install the button remapper apk but I'm stuck on stock unless the power button is replaced. What an adventure.

Can you share what you PM'd? My wife also has a faulty power button but is rooted I remapped power to the volume button but it's sort of flaky.
Thanks Roger
Check your pm
why the 'secret' pm's? It doesn't help anyone else searching that way.
basic outline of on stock / bad power button
enable usb debug
adb reboot download, or DL jig
use heimdall or odin to flash a cwm kernel ( I use CornKernel )
reboot
adb reboot recovery (can do this 1st if you already have cwm)
vol key to mount usb storage - one of your capacitive keys will be enter
copy rom into sdcard
unmount and flash via zip on sdcard option per rom instructions
like I said, basic details how to do it, for details - is posted elsewhere and there may even be a simpler app option out there. This just works for me on my captivate that has no power button at all - I removed it.
worst case is having to redo stock / kernel flash if boot loops prevent recovery mode option.
We are pming where he can send his phone to get the button replaced, links to outside services are against the rules.
Studacris thanks for replying but I was able to fix it without sending it out for service. In another thread someone recommended cleaning the button with CRC QD Electronic Cleaner and that did the trick. I had to clean it several times but its working now, I just removed the back of the phone and sprayed it I did not completely disassemble the phone.
@dashingport
Here is the link make sure to use "CRC QD Electronic Cleaner" it made for electronics. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20910029&postcount=17

ahh, thanks for the clarification
Okay so, is there a chance to remap the volume button to work as the power button? I have one in here with that same problem and if the phone turns off i have to flash it again so that it will boot up... I know i can use it as a wake button but what if the phone is off? Is there any chance... Oh! And by the way the power button solder points are damaged. So i cant solder a new button to fix this...
so yeah, I'm trying to flash CM7.2 to my friends Mini, but her phone has a broken Home button... so... I can't even get into download mode so I could use Odin to flash CWM to the device.
I got as far as getting it rooted, then I thought that I'd be able to flash CWM via RomManager, since I did that on my other friends Desire that had problems with some other button. But in RomManager when I choose to flash CWM it asks me to confirm my phone model, but doesn't show a option for the Mini? I checked on CWM's homepage and there they got a recovery for the mini so why isn't it in RomManager?
So anyone of you got any idea of how to flash CWM without that damn home button? Something as ADB or something?
Please help, this is so damn frustrating!
EDIT: SERIOUSLY NEED HELP ASAP! I thought that if I managed to get into the stock recovery I might be able to flash something from there, BUT APPARENTLY the stock recovery uses the Home button instead of the power button to choose an option, so now I'm stuck in stock recovery, can't choose anything, and when rebooting the phone boot back into the recovery! what the **** samsung? I can't get past recovery without a homebutton? not even pulling the battery helps!!! The phone is practically bricked now
Do not even think of using ROM Manager. It is responsible for many hard bricks for galaxy mini users.
Maybe you should get the home button fixed. :| Without that how you gonna multi task? Soft keys? Better fix it or sell the phone. Not worth keeping it without a working home button.

I know that the homebutton is rather important but it's not my phone, it's my friend's phone and she doesn't care if it works or not as she doesn't use the phone that much for multitasking.
oh by the way, I managed to get ONE successful home button press while in the recovery I placed a pen on top of the button and applied all of my super-human strength on that sucker phone rebooted normally, didn't get it into download mode though tried multiple times but no luck, just that one single press... might crack this phone open and see if I can fix that stupid button, or atleast see if I can short 2 contacts while the phone is open and get a home press that way
and I guess there isn't a way to flash anything on this thing without that pesky button
search on google for an application called CWM.apk it does work on our mini and it is a kind of rom manager
in command prompt type
adb reboot download and you will be in download mode
My home button has stopped working on my TP. I'm currently stuck on the mobot 0.35 screen. volume rockers work to move cursor up and down to select webos or Android but home button to select wont work. Seems I can only wait for the battery to die and then let it reboot naturally since holding the power button and the volume rocker doesn't seem to reboot in Mobot screen.
Going forward I'd like to restore home button functionality. it stopped working some time ago. Should I open up HP TouchPad and see if I can fix the issue with the contacts of the home button? Don't know if thats easy or if I'm capable of. Or is there another way to install a newer Android version for me without a functional home button? thx!

Android should be the default boot option for moboot. You could try using the older install methods with the ACMEInstaller5 here if you're desperate to get android working again. Try using a newer rom below.
Download Android 4.4.4 Kitkat install files(Rom, Recovery, Gapps):
Rom:Download the latest Lineage11 build
Recovery:TWRP-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140612b.zip
Gapps:gapps-base-arm-4.4.4-20170902-1-signed.zip
Note: Do Not unzip the files.
Repairing the actual button could be tricky but there's an iFixit guide here HP TouchPad disassembly guide on youtube here
Hi im new here. I have big prob. My gt-i8190 power button is broken. When the button was still ok i was able to upgrade my rom to omnirom 5.1.1. I was really happy with it until the power button got broken. My prob is now cannot boot to recovery so i could install supersu. Hope u could help me.. (By the way is there a way to disable the pull down menu while the phone is locked? Coz often times the flash light opens by itself while its in my pocket.)
