I have been using some custom rom's around here, Doc's and some Darky's and they were perfectly fine.
Some days ago, I started the SGS Tools application, and got to the "Secret codes".
I was just curious about it, and I got into the "Touch key firmware version"
So there was 2 options, to upgrade the Touch key, or the touch screen.
I pressed the touch key, and then the screen said "PASS" and boom !
The touch keys stopped working.
I tried everything, wipe all, flashing back to 2.1, then back to Darky's, and Darky's Odin. Nothing is working.
It's a driver problem as it seems, can anyone, anyone please help me?
Thanks, I will be so greatful!
I came across a thread in another forum that discussed this touch key problem while I was trying to flash Darky's 9.2. You will need to flash to a stock rom. While in stock, go to your dialer and type the following:
*#*#2663#*#*
Then click Touch key FW update.
The touch keys become unresponsive if you try to update the firmware after a kernel change other than stock. Hope this helps.

Hey mate.
Thanks alot! but it doesnt work.
I flashed about 3 rom's. 2.1 rom, original from my country 2.2 rom,
and allways did fw update, but none working.
What can I do?!?
Did you do a complete clean install of your stock rom? What I mean by that is you wipe data/factory reset before and after you flashed your phone's stock rom. As the guide I linked utilized a carrier stock 2.2 rom, try flashing the carrier stock 2.2 for your phone. Wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode, and try the firmware update again via dialer *#*#2663#*#* and select "Touch key FW update" . Reboot your phone.
I have the Bell Mobility I9000M model, as the guide is intended for, but it should work on the international version as well (I'm assuming you are from Asia or Europe?)
Hopefully your touch key issue will get resolved, if not by me, then someone else with more expertise in this forum.
Yes, I have tried all those, but nothng helps.
Someone can help please? thx
help please?
help? please
I have exactly the same problem.##Help
help guys.. please
I have also this problem : (
Has no one any other solution for this problem ?!
Lot's here got this problem, please if someone know's how to fix the problem, please help us all. I tried all, I tried any 2.1,2.2,2.3 rom out there, the JM9 [that shouldve fixed my problem] but non helps.
I finally managed to solve the issue by reflashing to a stock 2.2.1 and using the ##code thingy.

The ROM in question was: I9000UGJH2
Sorry, I had to get home to look this up as I only used this ROM to solve the issue and went straight back to Darky 9.3.
I hope this helps

man
thanks you
so much, I really dont know how to thank you.
I will open a thread that will explain to all that this problem happend to them too.
THANKS!
Ditto, I had the same problem, bought the phone from a guy and it already had a custom firmware on it. I screwed up the menu and back keys by upgrading the touch key firmware.
I eventually found this thread, upgraded (or rather rolled back) to the original firmware (in my case I9000UGJL2) and re-applied the touch keys firmware upgrade and voila now my keys work again after a month or two of pulling hair.
nice work and lots of thanks
After a painstakingly long search (upwards of 5 hours, gee thanks SOPA) I finally got ahold of original firmware, flashed and followed the post, worked great Thx! BTW this was for a Canadian Bell GT-I9000M, which I flashed to KC1 to get to work if anybody has similar original firmware finding issues, (took a few trial and errors)
I have the same problem on my galaxy mini, anybody know a galaxy Rom that fix my problem?
Hi there,
the proximity sensor on my i9000 isn´t working anymore. Everytime I place a call/get called the screen turns black and freezes. I have to pull the battery and restart it.
Testing the sensor on the LCD-test the screen turned green and the i9000 startet vibrating. Here, too only pulling the battery made it stop.
Here is what I tried so far:
- flashing different stock fw (Android 2.2 / 2.3.x)
- applied handicapped settings
- Using Proximity_Screen_Off App and Sanity-App on stock fw
- blowing air into the USB jack/vacuuming the jack
- opened the device to mechanically clean the sensor
All of the above failed!
The only way I can get it to work is when running android 2.3.7 Joker´s MiUi and run the Proximity_Screen_Off App.
Are there any other suggestions as to what can be tried?
Else I will have to get a new motherboard, because wouldn´t want to be restricted to using only one particular rom.
Any input is greatly appreciated
Thanks Christine
if i recall good (but kill me ive drinked some atm) the greensih issue was showing with voodoo color kernels and all the sensor peoblems came with badly assembled kernel.
so i would advice you to reflash pure 3 file firmware (repartition pit and all that jazz)
and if your sensors still would not work just reflash to your carrier or stock formware for your region and push it to repair center with proper dwscription (do no mentions miui or other crap)
Thanks for answering!
I flashed 3-part firmware, pretty much everything available and a CF-Root kernel.
So it couldn´t have been a bad kernel.
Can´t take it back to service, no warranty left.
I just flashed 2.3.5 and CF-Root and now I am fooling around with it some more.
I just think it´s weird that it would work with that and only that MiUi.
impossible unless youve got some other galaxy variaant than i9000

Hi,
this sounds like my problem.
I have it on 2.3.6 after replacing the keypad because of water damage and wrong cleaning off the home-button...
I am searching for a solution quite a long time.
It would be great if you could post the problem solution here.
Thanks a lot.

yeahaa... after 3 days of testing and testing i finaly made it ....
Well the trick with *#*#2663#*#* works only on froyo and not on any other stock rom...
So just get Froyo and after flashing it do a full wipe within the recovery menu. Afterwards boot and enter *#*#2663#*#* and update the TouchPad FW.
greets nears
Anxious to try FroYo
Same thing happened to me a week ago, the four touch keys across the bottom of my T989 suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason.
When I bought my T989 in Nov2011, I got it from a guy who bought it for his son, but his son decided he wanted an iPhone instead, so it was brand new BUT already rooted (juggernaut v3.1, CMR). It was running flawlessy until now. I hadn't done anything to it and was still running the same rom.
Over the past week I've gotten up to speed and I wiped it and flashed stock ICS 4.0.4 UVLH1 rom after which the keys functioned normally UNTIL Kies said there was newer firmware, and so I updated to that. I tried wiping and reflashing ICS in hopes the keys would work again and skip the Kies update, but this time the keys didn't work at all. I've had the phone apart to examine the hardware and (without removing the screen) everything appears perfect. I am still holding out hope that it's a software thing, not a hardware thing.
I tried the *#2663# code trick and pressed the "Touch Key FW Update" button, but it just stayed busy for the four hours I let it grind away (obviously not working).
So, noob question, does anyone know where I could find a stock Froyo rom for the T989? I've only seen it for the T959. I really want to try this and see if it gets my touch keys working again.
Thanks in advance.
hi friends need help .
Last night i rooted my galaxy note with cwm.tar recovery and superuser.
everything was working fine until i downloaded rom manager and did something, i dont remember (perhaps flashed rom ) and my device restarted after that my capacitve back button and menu button stopped working and lights are showing on always even i tried to disable it from setting. I flashed to stock rom ics and jelly bean but still problem not solved please help me friends. i sure its not hardware issue any suggestion ?
galaxy note shve160s.
OK here's you're first problem, this is not the thread for your device. Second you may need to use Odin to flash your original stock ROM. Your stock firmware can be found at www.sammobile.com or samfirmware.com. If that doesn't work it maybe a hardware problem. Next time search XDA for your phone's model number. This thread is for SGH-T879. Good luck. P.S. don't use ROM manager to flash CWM If your exact phone isn't listed. You're lucky you didn't brick your phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T879 using xda app-developers app
thank you it didnt solved my problem perhaps its hardware related problem.. unlucky me
hi there! my Current rom is JB 4.2 after flashing any roms that 4.4 and higher my menu and back button dont work i tried a lot of rom but only JB 4.2 works i think theres a problem with my phone and im hoping that you can help me! im so problematic in the past few days. thank you very much. sprry for my english.
Hello, had the same problem yestarday, my phone is bricked with boot loop and no download mode. Installed Cyanogen, user about 2 hours, then installed google apps, phone switched off at some stage. Now during booting both menu and back button are blinking fast. I'm wondering if it's hardware problem, or software signaling for kernel panic, like linux do with num-lock and capslock diodes.
