Did you flash a froyo radio through Odin? I would try flashing a modem/radio first and if that doesn't work try flashing the rom again.
i'm sort of having this same issue. i just restored to full, stock froyo. what i've figured out:
if i boot the phone in airplane mode, no home or menu button response. if i turn airplane mode off and reboot, home and menu buttons work again.

Problem:
When i tried to turn on the phone it will show the Samsung I9000 and Vibrant screen and turn off .
If i have it plug to the charger I will see the battery image turn on and off on the screen.
I can get the phone to download mode by VOL UP + POWER. VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER just boot the phone i a loop.
There was a time that i was able to get into "android recovery menu" but it doesn't work properly (vol up will scroll down, vol down will scroll up, power button (for selection) doesn't work)
Thing i tried:
using odin3 v1.70
flash pit 512 + PDA T959UVJFD.tar (flash was sucess but still got the same problem)
Is this a hardware problem that can't be fix or software problem that can be fix ?
Please help
Im not entirely sure but its seems to me your hardware rom is corrupted. Hope im wrong.

thank you for your reply, can someone else please confirm if i have a problem with my hardware or not ?
If the hardware rom is corrupt could it be fix with jtag ?
thank you
Just a suggestion, but when you flashed with Odin, did you select "repartition"?

i did it with and with out that option and still getting the same result!
When you're powering the phone on with volume buttons, are you releasing the power button (but still holding the volume buttons) at the first Vibrant screen?
Edit: Nvm, I just read about button problems in recovery...

have you tried using the toolbox
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
If you can still get into recovery. The LED buttons on the bottom of the phone work the options as well. The menu button is Back and the back button is SELECT or OK. Maybe that will help

My phone is stuck in some kind of a boot loop... i can get it into download mode but cant get it into cwm. I have tried flashing lots of stuff via odin but it doesn't make any difference. Is there any way I can fix this?
weird O.O do you mean bootanimation is looping cause you can actually get into CWM before the bootanimation
nope clockwork mod has disappeared D:
After installing new ROM did u again wiped cache or data?? If so reinstalling would be better,,
I reinstalled using odin
try to reset factory settings and clear cache after installing...

By flashing via Odin with a stock rom, you'll loose CWM. You have to flash CWM again to get it back. But as you described it, you can't even get into Recovery mode (blue Samsung recovery screen with HOME+Power button combo)?
^^

If u can't get to recovery mod then flash a new firmware from sammobile via Odin

I had this problem also.
I reloaded a new stock rom from sam and loaded it with odin, after the install I turned the phone on with the power button + the home button and did a factory reset and wipe catch.
And that worked.
u need to hold the power button + home button till you get in the menu.
I came from cm7.1 and went to stock rom 2.3.5.
Hope get it. Otherwise post your steps from which rom you came.

or...
when phone is off, hold power button and home button in the same time.
when the phone is showing samsung, you can release the power button, but keep hold the home button until recovery menu showed
I own a Samsung Galaxy S II. Everything works on it, the phone boots up, i can use power to boot it up just fine. But i'm afraid to root it because when i hold down volume up and power to get into the stock recovery it gets there just fine. But once there i can only scroll up and down using the volume keys but i cannot select anything with the power button. I believe it's stock the recovery version is (e3). PLEASE HELP SOMEONE! Thanks.
Try upgrading cwm through Odin instructions search you must.
thanks
Turns out with my phone it was home key that you used to select things when stock, once rooted I could select things with power.

It's always home button except if you are using CM9/CM10 stock kernel.

Lol!
You are a super - newbie
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
here's my problem,
my phone keeps on restarting whenever i reboot it.
ive tried full wipe, wipe partition and wipe dalvik cache.
ive also tried flashing custom rom via cwm and stock rom in odin which is I9100XWLS8_I9100FOPLS3_FOP
in cwm, power button isn't working..
when trying to choose a zip file, pressing power button
isn't working but touch function works well.
in odin just flashed stock rom this morning, but when it tries to boot, same problem occurs, it keeps on restarting..
i hope someone could help me ..
What you have, is a bootloop, which occurs when you don't do a full wipe before flashing a new rom..
And maybe the cwm you use doesn't support the clicking of the power button..

Maybe POWER button is faulty.Try to flash DorimanX Kernel.
i have manage to boot my phone,
turn on phone, while booting, i have to hard press the upper button of powermenu.
when it booted, i try to lock my phone (screen off) using powermenu and it wont work. powermenu option didnt showed up too..
but when i tried to screen off using the icon in dropdown toggle, it works fine.
yesterday after work i went to a technician, he said nothings wrong with it, and the only problem is the program.
but i already flashed it in stock rom and custom roms, i did full wiping to flash a clean rom.
this morning, i was thinking that the problem was the efs folder, but when i look into the efs folder in root system there it was.
i hope someone will help me..
When in recovery try the menu button.

in recovery all keys are working except for the powerbutton .
And what happens when you select an action and press home?
Siyah v6 works that way.

pressing home button works fine too.. the only problem is the power button key, ive tried a keytest and it dont really work.
Does it work as normal. If you push power will it turn screen of and on? You could use twrp as It dont use buttons edit: I read power button dont work at all?? Go to a better tec.
Also that efs bit is lock screen not power button. If it was gone it would still turn screen on and off and work just no lock screen:thumbup:

Hey guys,
I was running the newest Paranoid Android 3.60 with DoriMax kernel and decided to switch to the latest SiyahKernel. Unfortunately after installing the kernel through cwm and rebooting all I got was a blank screen after the SiyahKernel logo.
Now heres my problem, normally I would just boot into cwm and reinstall a working kernel, however, I stupidly forgot that my home button is not working! So now I have NO way to boot into cwm and the phone will not boot,
What are my options here guys? The phone is dead?
Cheers
i only see a jig as a solution, which forces your phone into download mode

No,there is a way to enter Download mode.You can try something.....turn off phone,and pull out/re-instert battery.Don't turn on yet!Now start pressing and holding the VOL DOWN button only.With phone turned off,and pressing the VOL DOWN key,put in charger.Keep holding the button,until you see Download mode.
