[Q] Home Button broken on SC 2.9 - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just flashed SuperClean 2.9 (with voodoo) this morning and, so far, it appears that the only issue I'm having is with my home button. I can use the back button to eventually get to my home screen, but the home button itself seems useless.
When I press the home button, the light flashes and the haptic feedback activates like it is working, but nothing actually happens.
If it matters, my process was as follows:
Upgraded to DL09 through Odin
Installed CWM Red through Odin
Installed EB01 Modem through Odin
Installed Rom Manager (Premium)
Used "install from SD Card" option for SC 2.9v
Wiped data and cache during install
Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks.

Wipe data, cache, dalvak, and re flash rom. I had the same problem

[Q] Problems downloading older CWMs ROM Manager 3.01.0

Has anyone figured out how to get past this "An error occurred while downloading your recovery." I have a older CWM.tar version that works but doesn't seem to hold as everytime I do it and then I reboot into recovery it reverts back to the lastest Orange version. Please tell me that somebody really knows what to do!!
I tried numerous times to get it to downgrade in Rom Manager but it never worked. What I did was delete every "update.zip" on my sdcard (I had several from all of the newer, improved versions coming out). I then unistalled Rom Manager (you can reinstall it later but its really not of any use to us right now....and if you do, don't flash a new recovery yet). Then I got Jt's CWM-Recovery-All.tar file and flashed i in Odin.
Hope that helps.
I'll give this a shot tonight when I get home. Is there anyway to boot into cwm without going through Rom Manager??

A couple of ways. If you've installed a theme most of the ones we have now have custom shutdown menus. These are nice and make it very easy. If not, you can still just turn your phone off, hold the vol+ & vol- and power button down and when SAMSUNG name comes up release the power button.
Hey That worked for me after using Odin to get JT's version of CWM on my fascinate. Thanks!!!!
Hey no problem. Glad I could help.

Getting Stuck on doing a factory wipe Through Red Clockwork Recovery

Yes, first i had flashed the Evil Fascinate Rom. Which was running smoothly and all. I decided to flash the Black Alien Version 4.0 Theme. had several errors and force closing through that. So what i was going to do is go back into recovery and re flash the Evil Fascinate Rom. Well when i try to a factory reset/wipe, it starts formatting everything but when it gets to the Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure, it just sits there? never takes this long. Im not sure if its frozen or what but everytime i go back to the recovery menu, it does this same thing. I mean, i can restart the phone and go back to running in the Evil fascinate rom with the alien theme but thats not what i want. Please someone help. Did i flash something incorrectly or what? lol
I had to put my card in my computer and wipe the files from android_secure before it would work

From what I read, it's a bug for the red CWM. It actually finishes the wipe. You could hold down the +/- volume buttons and power button until it reboots to recovery again.

Can't get into recovery.

I can't get into recovery. I flashed community rom 2.0 with the ed01 modem. The phone will start, and it will even show the launcher and a bunch of icons. Then it vibrates really fast three times and restarts. It will do this until I remove the battery. When I re-insert the battery to try and get into recovery (3.0 RED) I am unable to get in. Does anybody know what the problem is and how to fix it? I used odin for the .tar from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021 but I still cannot get into cwm. What do I need to do to get into CWM? Nothing happens if I hold Volume down and the power button, it just starts the phone, and then restarts.
Did you flash a new kernel as soon as you odin'd recovery? If not that's why you can't get to recovery cause as soon as the phone boots with the stock kernel it will over write whatever you just odin'd
I'm not home right now but if you can reply with some base info I can help...what rom and kernel are you on now, and what are you trying to go to...let me know that and I should be able to walk you through what you need to do to get rid of your boot loop in a lil bit

Well, I flashed the community 2.0 rom with the included kernel. Ontop of that, I flashed the 2.1 patch to it and that is when the problems started happening.
UKB 2.0 with OTB 1.5 Voodoo Kernel

Hmmm...I had some issues with ukb 2.1 also..not the same issues but it was enough to make me flash back to 2.0 until cm7 is complete! if you were able to get comm romm on there then at least you how to flash...use odin and what not...what I recommend is to go to the development section look at the stickies...there is one that lists all current roms, kernels, mods, and recoveries...it was written by nitsuj...I may have the spelling wrong on his screen name..but in that post there are links to newer recoveries...some you can flash, some you have to odin. I would odin one of the 3.x.x. Ones...i used the red one from otb..but I have also had good luck with the one by times infinity also. Try one that you have to odin...boot right into cwm via three finger salute..if that works..i would reboot..and try going into cwm again to see if it stuck...if not I would re odin recovery and then re flash your comm rom file right over with out wiping and see if that will get it to stick...if not then I'm not sure what to try...hopefully someone smarter than I will have the answer you need...good luck!

Stuck in bootloop after ODIN back to stock

Ok...so I was screwing around with my MIUI theme layout on my phone, and all of the Gapps I had on my home screen disappeared from the phone. Not a big deal, a new version of MIUI is out anyway so I figured I'd just flash that. So I did. I flashed the newest MIUI ROM (yes for the I777) and went to boot up. Launcher kept FCing, so much so that all I could do was jump into the messaging app from the lock screen and use the toggles menu to reboot/shut down. I tried pulling the battery and using the two button combo to get into recovery, but that didn't work. it just kept booting up normally.
So from this point I used ODIN to flash back to stock per this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
Everything went fine during the ODIN process, however now it won't go past the AT&T boot animation. Any ideas?
EDIT: Solved problem by booting into 3e recovery via 3-button press. Wiped cache and user data, booted up fine.
Lol was going to suggest that
Glad you got it worked out though.

Power Button Dead

Hi Guys,
Last night for some reason my GT-19100T running CM9.1.0 wouldn't lock by pressing the power button, the button itself seems to be working. I can press the button down but nothing happens. I left it for the night and came into work this morning, I thought it might be a bug with the rom, i managed to boot into recovery via the "Rom Manager" app and was going to flash to CM10. My problem is now that i am in recovery, I can't select anything as the power button is not working. I can scroll through the recovery menu with the volume buttons but cant select anything, and now soon as the phone turns on after removing the battery, it goes straight to recovery mode and i cant get around it.
I have tried leaving the battery out for about 3 hours and same thing. I can boot into download mode, But at the moment that doesn't help me.
Any suggestions on what i can do? I'm not worried about warranty so i may pull the phone apart and clean it tonight. Thanks in advance.
Update:
After much playing around with the button i can get it work, it is very temperamental and requires to be pushed in the right way. Was able to flash with Touch recovery and am now updating to CM10 nightlies. Thanks all for your help on my first post.

Hi!
First, have you tried flashing a stock firmware? If that does not help, you can try cleaning your hardware.. it may be dusty or something.. be careful! I hope you get this sorted out.
Also, i hope my suggestion will help you out, cheers!!

I am currently flashing back to xxlpq via odin and see if that changes anything. Will post back with results.
Thanks.

Okay, Flashed back to stock ICS rom, Got a little bit further but still no go. It gets the "S" loading screen and stays there, Still cant do factory reset via Android Recovery as it also needs the power button to select. Someone suggested installing CWM touch recovery but i cant find a .tar version of "recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2" downloaded from CWM website. Any suggestions on how i can install this without using recovery? Thanks.

I guess you have to flash them with odin..
1. Flash a stock firmware to get you out of bootloop
2. Flash the latest siyah kernel cause it's a touch recovery via odin as well
Do you want me to post the links or will you find it yourself?
I hope this helps, cheers!
