well, i would suggest ebay for a replacement if you are confident enough replacing it yourself, or send it for repair at a local repair shop
thanks for your answer.
my problem is my HOME button not working.
i can install firmware without home?

yes, if you have CWM installed:
open cwm manager > under reboot choose Download mode > use odin to flash official firmware
If you are rooted you can use button savior on the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey
It will give you a virtual home button

You don't need ROOT for Button Savior if you need only the home button, power off ...[other options may need the root]

i was under the impression that you are not on stock?
if the home button is not working physically, i would either replace it or take collingall's advice
if you still want to flash official firmware, the third option will be a "usb jig"

How to use usb jig??you need ROOT?
JUST now i try to restart my phone and i press volume down and something happent...
''Warning!!
its say something to restore to custom firmaware!
can i install the official firmware like this?or ''maybe LATER 'i must USE home?
Buy a USB jig. Its a dongle which, when plugged into the phone, forces your phone into download mode. From there you can flash any official firmware (via Odin) for your model. You don't need root permissions for it.

OdinOdin is a piece of software that allows us to flash anything we want to the phone. The file is attached to the bottom of this post.
It is perfectly safe IF USED CORRECTLY!
This is a general guide for using Odin, take a look at this picture (thanks to screamworks):
To get Odin to connect to your phone, you need to boot into 'download mode' by pressing volume down, home, and power keys at the same time, and connect your phone to your PC via USB.
Everything in red:
NEVER TOUCH

1. Just download the firmware version you want
2. Reboot your phone to download mode.
To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key+ Home button + press the power button .
You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar or .tar.md5 file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Anyone ask about .pit file is a moron
Should look like this screenshot

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
If the package has 3 files it should look like this:
Regardless of firmware version it's still the same methodology
6. Connect the USB cable and wait for the ID:COM section to turn yellow
7. Click start to flash
8. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the device, it will reboot when it finishes.
It will not wipe your phone if you flash as recommended

i need know the number of the counter before execute triangle away.
Thx
Hi,
Vol Up + Home + Power = CWM
Vol Down + Home + Power = Download
how did you manage to get into Download Mode without Home Button?
Do you use jig?
What do you exactly want anyway?
*edit*
does anyone see this pic - somehow it is blocked for me lol
greetz
Mr. thx for reply.
I manage into download mode through of CWM.
I select option download mode and reboot.
I need the counter number to execute triangle away.
Umm, sorry what counter number do you need (i really dont get it)
Do you wana flash to Stock before sending it in?
I used to use this for the Triangle & Couter at the beggining:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.triangleaway&hl=de
When you flash Stock counter doesnt increase - but i dont know about the count b4 the stock flash..(omg my grammar)
greetz
Yes i need come back to stock rom.
Its necessary counter # equals in both situations download mode and triangle away.
Can brick the phone if i execute and the number is different.
Ah ok now i get it.. lol never checked if those are equal - lucky me
So you cant see the Counter in Download beacause you only rebooted in Download Mode.. and you wana know if theres a way to get there without Home Button, right? (wow I took my time...)
Well um idk - if you dont dare to use Triangle Away without this check I would just flash the Stock. The Triangle might disappear (did this only once-so..) but i dont know about the Counter, sorry.
*edit*
Is this the first time you flashed a Custom?
So the counter should be 1 LOL
Triangle away never has been wrong for me. I can't see how it would be.
Anyway if he flashes back to stock the triangle will go away but the counter will be there.

So i don't remeber how much rom's i installed before this.
I afraid execute remove counter without know the number.
Do you know other way?
For example bash code echo > something path + file
Anybody, plz?
There is no other way, with no home button.
Just use triangle away, and see what it says....
Triangle visible .... I think it is
Counts = some numbers
Just do it. I have yet to find a single person who bricked because of triangle away.
My charging port broke so similar situation. i had CM9
Flash to STOCK ICS using mobile odin then root it then use triangleaway to remove counter then then use mobile odin to flash ICS again without agreeing to use everroot

Ok.
But if brick what's necessary to re-live?
I don't have time yet to study the development, but i'll try.
But i think, if i put galaxy s2 like emulator and send commands by eclipse or another ide, like i said i didn't study yet. Can be possible by terminal execute KEYCODE_BUTTON(vol up + vol down + home) to reboot in donwload mode.
I repeat this is just a assumption.
Thx man.

Why don't you use the usb jig method to remove your counter? You don't need to know it and it takes 2 seconds
I don't think there is a way without the home button unless you try ADB to reboot into download mode but I've not came across it on the S2 forums. I use adb to get into recovery for my HTC DHD because the volume buttons are broken.

The Jig will get you into Download mode but to get into CWM you will probably need to use CWM app or Rom Manager

Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help me.
I got a TF201 recently and it was rooted so I decided to try and flash it back to factory setting, I went into recovery mode and found there was a backup on there from when it was first made so I restored it to that.
I then clicked the button to reset the system and it gets to the Asus logo but doesn't go any further.
I tried booting into recovery again (power and vol down key) and all I get to is a menu that says "wipe data" or "fastboot USB download protocol", but no matter what I do I can't get past that screen!
Have I properly bricked it? or is there some way I can save this?

You are still on ICS bootloader.
I would advise you doing the nvflash process before leaving ICS because with them files backed up you can never hard brick your prime.
http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/
What rom do you want to install on there?
Here is a quote from another post I made.
Ok, you are on the ICS bootloader at the moment. The first thing we are going to do is flash a version of TWRP recovery on there which will allow you to install a rom off the external SD.
Power off the prime and put yourself into fastboot mode by holding power button and volume down the same time until a few icons appear on the screen. At this point press volume down to go over to the usb icon and then press volume up. It will look like the prime has frozen. Plug the prime into pc and make sure you have the drivers installed. If you do not please install them from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502
Next follow this post to flash ICS twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34477681&postcount=5705
Only use the file in that link to install it while on ICS bootloader. Later on you are going to flash hairybean 1.3 which will take you up to Jellybean Bootloader. If you use this file after that you will brick your tablet.

When you go to the bootloader where the icons are and you plug the prime into PC it should show up in device manager. If the drivers are not installed it will show unknown device in device manager. If they are installed they will be up the top somewhere under asus or android devices saying something like asus bootloader interface.

Oh wait.. You are on ICS.. It's been so long.
I think the way to get into recovery on that is to hold the power down and volume down button to turn it on and then press volume up when the message appears. I don't think you had the recovery icon on ICS.

Well I have some blob files here that should take you to either the 4.1.1 bootloader and a custom recovery or the 4.2.1 bootloader and a custom recovery but when you upgrade to them you will lose the ability to ever make your nvflash backups.
It all depends what rom you want to go to and if you want to go this route.

When you switch the prime on now where is the NVIDIA logo this time. If it is bottom right it has definitely updated the bootloader.

I Tried to go to CWM Recovery to format the system and try to flash the stock firmware again. but no way
So I Tried to ROOT My "GT-I9300" AGAIN to get CWM Recovery
______Let us begin______
1. Download the TAR CWM recovery file , ODIN zip file and unzip the files , SuperSU zip file
http://www.mediafire.com/download/5fc53nyacjxubi9/Root_Galaxy_S3_on_Android_4.3_4.4.2__
2. Power off Galaxy S3. Then hold down Volume down, Center Home, and Power buttons together until you see a warning screen. Let go of all buttons.
3. Hit Volume Up to enter ODIN Download mode then connect a USB cable from your S3 to your computer.
4. Double-click on “odin3v1.85.exe” to start ODIN program.
5. You should see a yellow-highlighted box with a random COM number. Once you see the yellow-highlighted box you are ready to go, hit the “PDA” button.
6. Find the TAR CWM recovery file you downloaded earlier in Step 1 and choose it.
7. Hit “Start” and it should take about 5 seconds for ODIN program to flash CWM Recovery to your Galaxy S3 and you will see “PASS!” when it’s done. Your phone should reboot.
8. Once your phone has rebooted hold down Volume Up, Center Home, and Power button together.When you see the Samsung logo, let go of Power button but keep holding down Volume Up and Center Home buttons.
9. You should now be in CWM Recovery.
10. Make this step:
-wipe data,cache,dalvik
-format system, preload, internal sd
11. Repeat the steps 2,3,4,5
Once you see the yellow-highlighted box you are ready to go, hit the “PDA” button and Find the Stock firmware and choose it and Hit “Start” you will see “PASS!” when it’s done. Your phone should
reboot.

Can i ask why you have come here for support when you disagree with all the help that has been given?
You have given us little to no information like odin logs, process you have taken or file names etc when requested besides a worthless picture that hasnt been seen on the i9300 before.
I agree with boomboomer, you could try the rescue firmware it maybe you last hope you can find it in the stickies.

I cant flash stock rom
I can ONLY go to download mode, there is no recovery.
When I try to boot normally I get this screen
I read all threads before i start a new one but no luck
=====================================================================================================
I Tried to go to CWM Recovery to format the system and try to flash the stock firmware again. but no
way
So I Tried to ROOT My "GT-I9300" AGAIN to get CWM Recovery
______Let us begin______
1. Download the TAR CWM recovery file , ODIN zip file and unzip the files , SuperSU zip file
http://www.mediafire.com/download/5fc53nyacjxubi9/Root_Galaxy_S3_on_Android_4.3_4.4.2__
2. Power off Galaxy S3. Then hold down Volume down, Center Home, and Power buttons together until you see a warning screen. Let go of all buttons.
3. Hit Volume Up to enter ODIN Download mode then connect a USB cable from your S3 to your computer.
4. Double-click on “odin3v1.85.exe” to start ODIN program.
5. You should see a yellow-highlighted box with a random COM number. Once you see the yellow-highlighted box you are ready to go, hit the “PDA” button.
6. Find the TAR CWM recovery file you downloaded earlier in Step 1 and choose it.
7. Hit “Start” and it should take about 5 seconds for ODIN program to flash CWM Recovery to your Galaxy S3 and you will see “PASS!” when it’s done. Your phone should reboot.
8. Once your phone has rebooted hold down Volume Up, Center Home, and Power button together.When you see the Samsung logo, let go of Power button but keep holding down Volume Up and Center Home buttons.
9. You should now be in CWM Recovery.
10. Make this step:
-wipe data,cache,dalvik
-format system, preload, internal sd
11. Repeat the steps 2,3,4,5
Once you see the yellow-highlighted box you are ready to go, hit the “PDA” button and Find the Stock firmware and choose it and Hit “Start” you will see “PASS!” when it’s done. Your phone should
reboot.

Finally I Get My Precious "SG3_GT-I9300" BACK :laugh::good:
Yesterday I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S2 with the help of this video: How to Root Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 Jelly Bean Android 4.1.1/4.1.2! on youtube ( since I'm new to this forum I'm not allowed to use outside links in my thread ).
It told me to go to Downloading mode by pressing the Home-, Power-, and the volume down buttons .
Then I downloaded Odin3 and a jeboo kernel just as said in the video, I did so on the 1st link in the video's description ( again can't use the link but it is the first link in the video that I mentioned before ) .
On this website I scrolled down a little a found the two links for downloading Jeboo Kernel and Odin3.
So I started Odin3 and connected my phone to the PC, that one space on Odin3 went yellow so it seemed to be connected to my phone.
But there was no PDA button as mentioned in the video so I downloaded the version he used in his video (Odin3 v1.85)
opened the file, connected it to my phone (the bar went yellow) and clicked on PDA .
Then I chose the Jeboo Kernel file as said in the video, the two bars went green just as it should and I clicked on START.
The next thing happened was that my phone started, but without a yellow triangle as it should and stopped at this screen like this : ( deleted link of an photo of the start up ) . I couldn't do anything to stop it so I was waiting for it to shut down by it self .
So my questions are: What did I wrong? How can I remove the Jeboo Kernel from my phone and get the normal kernel back? Or If possible how do I root it properly? Is my phone bricked?
Sorry for not that great english!
Btw I had Jelly bean 4.12.
And I'm a noob in things like phones and stuff so please try to explained it in easily understandable words Ty
Hi @Lokeen
So it stuck on "Samsung Galaxy i9100" screen? If yes -
1. Take the battery out and back in after a few seconds.
2. Hold volume up, home button and power button together until you see start up screen and let go all three
3. It should boot into recovery mode. What recovery version do you see(if any)?
If you can get to download mode go there then connect to pc with good usb cable (like samsung which you get with your phone) and flash this kernel again. Btw in newer versions of odin pda is pa now. I rooted my phone using this method and everything went quite smooth. If you want to go back from root and this kernel go to samware.com (something like that) download right version for you country and flash it with pda/pa (ofc it is good to clean phone before it)
That's how I would try to do this.

After a few seconds of clicking home-, power- and volume up buttons the screen turns black until I stop, then it goes back to the Samsung galaxy S2 screen. Also I'm not sure about the file I flashed on my phone even was a kernel.
I just chose the winrar file I downloaded. @noppy22

From phone completely off, try the three button combo until you see the samsung s2 screen then let go. What happens? If that doesn't go to recovery mode, try taking the battery out to turn the phone off, put battery back in, then hold volume DOWN, home, and power buttons. Does this give you download mode?(It will say "downloading now, do not turn off target", or something similar)

Nothing happend after the first three button combo, then took the battery out, put it in and tried the other combo .
In both cases it remained at blackscreen. @noppy22

@keithross39
Hi I'm back, I finally got my Samsung Jig and it really get's me into download mode .
I don't know what to do from here on, could you please give me an step to step instruction on what to do now ?
Thanks :good:
Ok....so you need to go to either sammobile dot com Or samsung updates dot com (we're not allowed to post links to those sites on XDA) and download the correct firmware for your device/region/carrier. Then you need to download Odin for your pc/laptop.
1) put phone into download mode.
2) open odin.
3) connect phone to pc/laptop via usb cable.
4) wait for phone to be recognised by odin.
5) load firmware into odin and flash to phone.
Instructions on how to do this can be found on the firmware download page or anywhere on XDA......
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
Thanks, I wanna be sure that I don't do any mistakes so I have a question: I downloaded this version http://www.sammobiledotcom/firmwares/download/5879/I9100GXXLPY_I9100GDBTLP3_DBT/
(I replaced . with dot ) and the file is called: I9100GXXLPY_I9100GDBTLP3.zip , is this the right file to flash ?
@keithross39
@Lokeen do you have the 'G' variant of the device?
It would appear that the linked firmware is for that variant.....
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
@keithross39
Yes I got the G variant.
I got Odin3 v3.10.7, how do I choose the file ( I mean through BL, AP, CP or CSC )?
Do I choose the file I downloaded or do I need to unzip it first?
You need to unzip it once I think until you see a tar md5 file.
As for flashing the firmware.....
I *think* you select AP to load it into odin....I don't know for sure as it's been a while since I used odin.
There should have been flashing instructions on the firmware download page........
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
So shall I choose only the .tar.md5 file or combined with the other one ? @keithross39
So, you've unzipped the download, what files do you see on your pc/laptop screen?

I see I9100GXXLPY_I9100GXXLPV_I9100GDBTLP3_HOME.tar.md5
and SS_DL.dll .
A dll file has normally got something to do with Windows. ....
I'd leave it alone (just in case windows needs to access it) and concentrate on the tar md5 file.....that one is all that Odin needs......

This is what happened to me also but finally i've managed to get my device back on, you can try the emergency software recovery and initialization from smart switch from your pc/laptop (i've tried to flash official firmwares with odin but got no luck)... all you need is a good internet connection and write down your device S/N where you can find this on the back of your phone (beneath the battery).
PS: You will lose all of your data and apps on your internal phone memory

You're welcome mate...
My 910C running DN7 soft bricked too using the white note 7 zip. The white note 4 zip worked fine. Thanks to KnG-Iking for recovery method. As previously mentioned by others the phone after SB only goes to download mode but you cannot Odin anything. A computer will be required to fix/restore boot. So be careful because even with a backup you will have a lengthy restore process. To the Op, I had exposed installed if that helps troubleshooting the zip.
