I searched the whole forum and find nothing.
The machine Rom has been updated to recent 3.14, and I just found I lost the volume control.
The VOLUME UP or VOLUME DOWN button on the left panel of the phone does NOT adjust the volume anymore. these two buttons have been signed to scroll page up and down.
I do not know if this problem was caused by Rom updating or some crappy cabs that i had installed. Any idea of how can i get my volume control back? thanks.

First I would try uninstalling cabs one by one and if that doesn't work, reflash, hard reset after flash and then install cabs one by one until your problem returns (if it does). Then you'll know what the culprit is.

I have a problem. My volume up was not working very well for a while but it worked if you pressed it hard enough so I didn't go on about fixing it, because I was controlling volume within the settings. The problem got worse all the time and now it isn't working at all. And on top of that now my phone can't boot probably cause of some bad zip I was flashing while trying some mods for my rom (I am using Omega v51), and the phone stays on the omega droid walking screen and doesn't boot. Usually this would not be a problem because I would boot into recovery and reflash the rom, or wipe davlik and cache or fix permissions or whatever. But now with the volume up not working I can't go into recovery. I can't go into download mode either, to flash rom via odin, because, despite volume down button works ok, when you go into download mode you still have to press volume up to "continue".
Any other way to get into recovery or download mode without the use of volume rockers?
I even try with adb commands but they don't seem to work when the rom is booting...
PS. I don't think it's a problem of the volume rocker, rather it's a problem of the volume switch on the cable, because i removed the back panel and removed the volume button, and pressed the switch manually and it doesn't work either. I can order another cable from e-bay but it will take a while to arrive and in the meantime, I am stuck without a phone, so any help on getting in the recovery or download mode is appreciated.

Thanks for the answer. I thought of that but I don't have one and if i order one from e-bay it will take a while to arrive also. I am hoping for a solution that doesn't involve waiting that long
Just un update. Finally i got into download mode and stayed in the screen where you need to press volume up to go into download mode, removed the volume up button and pressed the up switch with a screwdriver hoping that at least one time it will be pressed and go into download mode and finally i was able to do that. So i reflashed the rom via odin and it booted into the rom. now volume up still not working, but at least I have a working phone until the parts from e-bay arrive to replace the faulty button and/or switch
Thanks for the help.

i recently updated to jellybean the samsung galaxy s2 and im having issues with bluetooth, wifi and volume buttons. both the wifi and bluetooth do not turn on and volume buttons dont work at all... i tried to find a way to flash it again and install either stock or custom rom but as the volume buttons dont work i cant boot in recovery or download mode. i cant use kies to update either as its having the latest update already...any experienced or experiencing same? help will be greatly appreciated ..thx
If after switching off the phone, you are not able to put it in recovery/download mode because of volume buttons then your volume buttons(hardware part) are gone. Updating the ROM to JB could have affected the volume buttons but that should not stop them from working after it is powered down.

Thanx mate...i also expected it to be hardware....thanks though.
I read somewhere you can make a screenshot bij clicking volume down + power. This doesn't work on my phone (maybe I disabled it while trying to root it, in which I succeeded in a way I can not reproduce).
Anyway, I searched this forum, didn't find a solution, stumbled upon a setting that does work for me:
Settings - Smart Assistant - System motion. Enable "Three fingers screenshot"
You have to hold Volume down + Power, not just click them. It has worked for me for all the custom roms I tried here.
Thanks, I know, holding it a few seconds should do the trick. Not for me.
Installing Win 10 USB-drivers, flashing TWRK-recovery and SuperSU should be a piece of cake too. SuperSu kept telling me the binaries were not properly installed. Flashing the Darksense-rom wasn't a succes either, apart from getting SuperSu installed in some miraculous way.
And on top of that I can make 3-finger screenshots now
Why is it so hard to find correct information on this? Several options haven't worked including holding down volume down + power button. Also, there is no "Smart assistant" in my "Settings" folder.

I'm on Eragon v4.8 rom now. That includes 'System motion' at the settings-tab - Enable "Three fingers screenshot" ...
hi I hope this is posted correctly... I have a nabi 2 running kitkat that was rooted with kingo root and no twrp, everything stock besides that... I deleted something I shouldn't have and when I restarted the tablet it booted fine until it got to the home screen. as of now I have no lock screen to swipe and no home screen. The home button and back button still show and also make a click noise. so I figure to do a factory reboot and everything would be fine... well I was wrong... it still boots but still no home screen.... at times the background will flash and the time and battery will pop up.
So I downloaded nabilabs thinking that would be able to help me and I believe it will but as I found out when I did a factory reset it turned off usb debugging and will not connect now. so with out screen controls how do I turn usb debugging mode on? is there a line I can send to it to connect? thanks for the help in advanced..
I did search around and found a bunch of great software and roms for it but I really haven't found a similar issue or realized that I found something close to my issue.
Do you have a photo? That would make it easier to know what you’re describing
Your firmware may be corrupted.
I put the link to a new ROM here. If you click click the hyperlink it will be at the top of the screen. Use Fastboot to flash that.
Put Fastboot Protocol on by holding down both the volume buttons and the power button, then when the letters on the top left (held in landscape) of the screen pop up, click the volume - (down) button and then click the volume + (up) button. Your computer will now recognize the device in Fastboot. Then you can flash the ROM.
See if that helps.
On screen "Virtual" or "Soft Key" Home and Recent button not working
I have context media 32inch wallboard that I've successfully unlocked and functioning more like a tablet. It's one of those informational screens you see in some doctors offices/exam rooms now. See thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/unlocking-32-inch-wallboard-outcome-t3936524 for details of the unit and steps taken to unlock.
The only headache now is the on screen Home button and Menu/App switch button doesn't function. They keys light up when pressed but nothing happens. I've tried serveral key remap programs, editing the keylayout .kl files in /system/usr/keylayout/ folder, but no success so far. (I've made backups of all these files of course.)
I do have a TWRP recovery, and I'm not opposed to flashing a new ROM, but I have not found one available, and I have alot of research to do, before trying to port one over myself.
I've also tried the methods linked below:
Enable soft keys: https://www.technologyhint.com/enable-soft-keys-android-phone/
Rerun Setup Wizard: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70343231&postcount=5
Any help or guidance is appreciated
Can you plz send me a link to the backup that you made as i have one also and tried to install a different rom and the screen is just black... but it will connect in loader mode on rkandroidtools 2.3.5...
