Hey guys! I hope you can help me D:
My Galaxy S:
CM7 latest update #57 or so
Kernel: glitch v11 (also doesnt work with standard kernel)
Since today my homebutton isnt working correctly. It only works for getting into recovery and into download mode.
If i press it in the keytest in cwm recovery it isnt recognized, same when the phone is booted :-S
I reflashed the update with deleting the cache but that doesnt work D-:
Have you guys any idea? :-/
Thanks

I'm sorry, but I think that's your only choice.. To me, it seems like a hardware-related malfunction..
Hmmm yes i think youre right.
I just tried to get into recovery only with volume up + turn on button... thats working
"
I will flash samsung original firmware, maybe it works ^^

If it does: great!
If it doesn't: RMA must be the way..
you have to send your phone to Samsung services it'll be best solution i think.
Dudeeee, what on earth man? RMA should only be treated as a last resort. Don't give up so easily. He hasn't even tried flashing back to stock roms.
He already said it works for getting into recovery and download mode, which indicates it's working to some degree.
OP, flash that stock firmware and tell us what happens.

If you read my post correctly, you'll notice that I've suggested to flash the stock-firmware _before_ sending it as a RMA to Samsung..

Again, read his post correctly - he was pressing "Volume Up" + "Power On" and did _not_ mention any press on the Home-button..

So how do you think he has access to recovery???.......He mentionned he was able to go into recovery mode,basically,the home button works.
I'm pretty sure it's a software related problem.
Go with the stock rom first and tell us the result.
Nope.
Im on stock rom now..
The home button is not working
I got into Download mode with Volume down and Turn-on-button
I havent touched the home button at all
Dont know why thats working ^^...
Tommorow im bringin it to the Shop for RMA
OR do you have some Ideas
It is as though your home button is stuck to "on".
I fear that the next step is to rma.

Do you find the inconsistency? No?
I'll help you out: at first, you paint me as a fool, because you're too blind to read my post correctly.
Just one post later, you suggest what I was suggesting since my first (or second, can't remember right now) post.
Result: read first, think second, think again, _then_ - and only then - post, but stay polite at _any_ time!
Had the exact same issue with the button working for booting into recovery and download mode.
Sorry to say this is hardware related and I hope your rma is accepted.
I took mine to the repair centre and they told be it is water damaged. I never dropped it in water though.
Also the home button is glued to the whole freaking screen. The samsung part comes as the whole lcd assembly with the buttons with it so I was quoted 245 dollars.
You can buy the button online but I digest you to have a look on YouTube for the dude that disassemble the phone. You will see how hard it is
By the way, my button stopped working for recovery as well although now of o press hard on it it does work (for booting and in the OS).
last but not least, you will learn how to use the phone without the home button
Good luck with the rma

Now you are a funny one, huh?
Anyways it doesn´t look too good. Seems you´ve crushed the bootloader, which is a very bad idea
Try to take out the accu for about 2 hours.
If still not even a single picture can bee seens, it´s a very bad sign.
- btw. does the loading picture/animation show up when trying to load?
- try starting Handy with download-mode (down)
- try starting Handy with CWM (Mode) (up)
I´d sugguest (re-)flashing a bootloader, but since you reported Odin doesn´t find a device...it still just doesn´t look to good...sorry mate
hi , thank you for replaying , ok in case i crashed the boot louder , do you think if i gave it to sumsong as its still under warranty they will find out ??

What did you try to flash with Odin ? ICS rom, stock ?
No idea about the warranty - theoritically you have no right to flash anything yourself using 3rd party software, but since oficial Kies uses similar methods, if you tried to flash stock ROM they might not find out.
But first, try the method proposed by DJ-Tumor, press volume down+home+power and see if it turns on into download mode.
He already said he can't boot into download mode.
(Now you are a funny one, huh?) May be Tumor really got a tumor in his brain.
You'll have to get a Jig and try to boot with it.
thank you for your replay , I tried usb jig and it's not working .. when i tried to change the system it was an official one wasn't custom .

thank you for replaying , I have tried to get into the download mode but the phone Doesn't turn on do you think if i crashed the boot loader , can i fix it somewhere or that's it i lost the phone ??
maybe you've selected the wrong PIT file.
Is your phone a 16 or a 32gb note ?
Hi everybody, I searched everywhere for a solution but no luck
i love my note so much that if i couldnt fix it i think im gonna kill myself.
let me tell you the whole story, maybe you can revive my note again.
im a daily rom flasher, sometimes even 2 or 3 roms a day,
i wanted to flash ics stunner rom so i went into cwm recovery,flashed the zip file and wanted to format data\factory reset, but while the phone was formatting i accidently pressed the power button, the phone was stuck and didn't complete formatting, i took the battery out, put it back in and powered the phone, it was stuck at the bootscreen GTn7000 Galaxy Note.
I got into download mode and flashed a stock rom, but it was the same.
i downloaded and flashed other stock roms but it was stuck at the bootscreen.
then i wanted to flash a stock rom that came with a Pit file, i did everythig correctly, and Odin was stuck at the partition thing, for more than 15 minutes.
i unpluged the phone i pressed the power button, NOTHING!!
i officially bricked my phone which i worked so hard for months to get it.
i tried everything,even the jig thing, i couldn't buy so i had to make one.
maybe i did somethig wrong with the jig or maybe because i didnt solder it or the usb plug im using isnt working.
this may be relevant, i pluged the usb OTG in the phone and in the OTG was a bluetooth peice for computers, the piece had a light, and the light was ON.
Another thing that if i leave the battery in the phone for a while, the camera area in the back gets a little hot, my phone always did that meaning its still alive.
i may have written too much, forgive me but im really desperate.
Thanks in advance.
You probably end up going to Samsung. Pay €200 and get a new motherboard.
Good luck.

WOW...
the problem is that i live in a fu**ed up country and we dont have samsung here.
all phones come without warranty and by smuggling from other countries
You mentioned killing yourself. Bro it's just a phone... Hang in there!!!

First thing donot flash Ics now untill you are craze about it.2nd donot use CWM as much as possible.Read this.
Ok to the problem now.Since you say it gets hot,it might be still alive.Remove the battery and insert it after 10 secs and insert the jig and after few secs press vol up button.Now connect the phone to computer and see if its detected if it does try flashing abyy's kernel.I dont know which kernel for sure.Somebody might help you.People were able to get into DL mode when there screen were not showing anything.
There are situations when your phone is working, but your screen is black.
Let's hope yours is one of those...Try this:
1. Don't flash Abyss. Download a stock GB Rom instead.
2. Charge your phone for a couple of hours. You need your battery for the
following steps.
3. After charging, take out your battery and wait 1 minute
4. Put it back in
5. Boot into Download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power) (you will see only black screen)
6. Count to 10
7. Press Volume Up
8. Count to 10
9. Start your PC Odin
10. Connect your phone to PC
11. Wait untill PC installs the necessary drivers
12. If all goes well, your PC Odin will flash the yellow light with COM info in it
13. Flash your stock GB Rom
If this doesn't work, you'll need to think of the ways of getting your phone JTagged or where to get a new motherboard.
Dude, if you have no way of repairing a bricked phone in your country then stay away from flashing custom ROMs!!!

Your phone is pretty much dead I'm afraid
Why didn't you bother to read stickies first?
It has been known for several weeks now that doing a wipe from CWM in a leaked recovery (I.e all ICS ROMs except cm9 official) will lead to a corrupted emmc drive ,thus a dead phone
And no ,you pressing the power button had nothing to do with it being stuck
The moment you hit wipe from ICS stunner's recovery your phone was dommed.
Anyway what's done is done ,now find an unofficial repair shop and replace your motherboard.
I hope this makes it clear ,and good luck to you.

OK, how much will it cost me ?
by the way i forgot to mention that before i bricked the note, it had a charging problem, saying voltage too high,charging stopped,and when the phone is turned off the battery icon keeps appearing and disapearing, could it be that the jig is not working because of that??
Try a different USB cable?

You're not going to like this: I had to send my phone back to Samsung to get that fixed. Basically the charging port was shorting out, happens when stuff gets inside it (dirt, moisture, etc, from what I read). You could try cleaning it, but for me the port didn't break, it just acted like it was charging when there was nothing plugged in. So the JIG will work if it's supposed to.

Just out of curiosity: Are you in the US and had to send your international Note somewhere? I am wondering how one can get a support for an International Note if you're in the US.
I don't mind sending it to another country, but which Samsung center will accept it?

Give it to a repair shop (Where they repair your phone). This is the only way as you have tried all methods. Yet it costs some Rupees

Be careful..it might brick your phone completely as the power button is linked to motherboard. This has happened to my friend's mini, when he gave it in so called samsung service center....even they failed to repair power button and bricked his phone...they gave him a dead phone..
This is not the right section to post your questions/help....you should post this kind of questions in q/a section.

Dude, virus cannot affect your hardware. But still if you think then make a full.format
Go to cwm - mount - format system etc
P.S this will format your OS too u then need immediatly flash a rom.
Or
Open your galaxy mini
Clean power button
Re close it
It's simple YouTube it.

There's no such thing as virus can affects the power button.
Really, Android malware isn't exact thing as Window's malware. Android's virus needs permission to make your power button not working.
This is a hardware problem, I believe. Try to send it to SSC.

And its better to visit phone shops so may check your phone problem.

I managed to fix the button. How? I dont know
but I'll tell what happened.
I installed the Miui rom v4 by magmini, a couple days later I was watching a video and turned the phone upside down.
and the button is working again, I'm still trying to understand what happened.

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone could help me. On the Samsung ATIV Odyssey I have, when it boots, it will show, Windows Phone, Samsung screen then just shows the spinning gears..this will go on forever. I tried to reset and "tried" to hard reset it but could never get the "!" To show up.
Is there any way possible to recover this phone or am I stuck having to send it out to Samsung?
I have not been able to get anywhere with this phone and can't find recovery software like Nokia has for their phones for Samsung models....
Thanks in advance!!
Can anyone help with this issue ?
I ended up calling Samsung, the phone is out of warranty (of course) but, they say they will do a free one time flash to attempt to recover the phone. The provided free shipping and will flash it and return the phone to me at no charge.
Nice, didn't know they offered that....

You can try to flash the fake wolfROM with the customwolfROM.csc(or mbn, I don't remember) for Odissey (You'll find it in the first thread i've linked you)
OF COURSE FOLLOW THE GUIDE NOT TO BRICK MORE YOU DEVICE.
If you have any problems you can ask.
Thanks, does the Odyssey (SCH-I930) can be flashed with the roms for the ATIV S ? Interesting, If I can get this phone up and running again, I might try to go the ROOT route if I can. That is if it can be recovered.
2 computers would not even detect this phone because of it being a reboot loop. So even if I had a rom or something else for it, the computer would not even see it.
Not my primary phone, so no big rush if I have to wait for a week...

NO IT CAN'T OF COURSE BE FLASHED WITH OTHER PHONES' ROMS BUT IF YOU KEEP READING ALL THE PAGES OF THE THREADS I'VE LINKED YOU YOU'LL LEARN THAT WOLF MADE OTHER CUSTOM CSCs(the smallest,editable part of a WP rom) SPECIFIC FOR YOUR DEVICE AND HOW TO FLASH 'EM
(I wrote with caps lock in order to let you get the importance of the point )
It's normal that every pc doesn't see your phone:something in its os is missing.I would advice you to flash another csc -description in this the customwolf rom thread I've already link to you -(see the specific combination of your model in order to know if your phone turns on in download modus and you can try to flash again it)
EDIT----
Sorry man,I just Thought now to it: You could simplify your life just trying first a Hard reset from buttons combination (I think this is the correct one,but you can search for yourself for the specific combination of buttons of your phone).
Alternate Method
Step 1
Turn off the phone and wait 15 seconds.
Step 2
Press the "Power" button. Press and hold the Volume Down button until an exclamation mark appears on the screen.
Step 3
Press the Volume Up button and then press the Volume Down button. Press the Power button and then press the Volume Down button again. The screen goes black and then the reset process completes.
In this way you should be able to HR your device without turning it on and risking to damage it more with flashing

It's normal that every pc doesn't see your phone:something in its os is missing.I would advice you to flash another csc -description in this the customwolf rom thread I've already link to you -(see the specific combination of your model in order to know if your phone turns on in download modus and you can try to flash again it)
EDIT----
Sorry man,I just Thought now to it: You could simplify your life just trying first a Hard reset from buttons combination (I think this is the correct one,but you can search for yourself for the specific combination of buttons of your phone).
Alternate Method
Step 1
Turn off the phone and wait 15 seconds.
Step 2
Press the "Power" button. Press and hold the Volume Down button until an exclamation mark appears on the screen.
Step 3
Press the Volume Up button and then press the Volume Down button. Press the Power button and then press the Volume Down button again. The screen goes black and then the reset process completes.
In this way you should be able to HR your device without turning it on and risking to damage it more with flashing

Thanks again for your help here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The hard reset is not working. I tried this MANY time before posting (after about a day playing with it, at the point of giving up hope). I can try the key commands but, at no point will I EVER see the exclamation mark. No kidding, I must of tried this 40 different ways, with different timing, I can 100% confirm that something is screwy with this phone.
If I do the Power plus volume down (to try to get the exclamation mark), as soon as a let go of the power button and holding the vol down, the phone will go in a reboot loop.
The phone does not get to a point where the PC will detect it, it will start to boot up and it will show on the display Windows Phone, then Samsung logo, then it will just show the spinning gears(like it had a failed update). It does this for ever (I let it go 24 hours before pulling it). I can do the soft reset but, that is it...
It's packed up ready to go but, I'll hold it for a day, do you think I could actually recover this phone with a rom ?

I really don't know because I don't have the phone in front of me,so I can't 'think' to anything.
I just know that People flashed the custom csc..who knows,that could be Your solution-but could be not-.
I recommend you to read very well and many times the procedure.
Good luck and let me know.

Yea, I tried everything I could find in google and Bing...No luck, I'll send it back to Samsung to see if they can recover the phone....
Thanks again for your help. When I get it back, if it's running, then I will try to interop it....

You're welcome
When the phone will be perfectly working you 'll be able to interop it with wolf's custom csc (the thread I've linked to you)
Cheers
BTW, I have the custom rom for the Odyssey, its definitely got some odd bugs.
Verizon stores can reflash it for you too for free, just need to hit up a Verizon CORPORATE store. Apparently they have the tools and the ROM, instead of waiting for it to be mailed and come back.
Well I used the wolf custom rom and follow the exactly instructions but my phone now say is corrupted, and instead of boat show me a message telling me that!
So, I got another one and now has the same problem, so, somebady knows if there is at day an original rom available?
Still no public Odyssey ROM yet.
