[Q] Home Button Problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey!
First of all, sorry for my english there will be some failures in the text below.
Here we go, thats what happened:
1) I updated the firmware on my Stock Galaxy I9300 with Kies to Android 4.1.2
All works great the first day.
Next day the power-on button was nearly without function:
no menue appears (restart,shutdown, offline mode, ...) when pressing it and no screen off function. Only shutdown works by
pressing the button longer.
After restart, all works correct for short time (30min - 3h)
2) I read in the internet that a factory reset helps and after a update it is recommended to do this. So i pressed the volume up button + home
button + power off/on and made a factory reset in the menue.
Since i've done this, the power off/on button works correct (menue appers, screen of function works)
BUT
now my home button don't work anymore. Without any function. Can't wake up my phone or go to the Homescreen.
Yesterday the home button suddenly works correct for a short time (a few minutes)
Really strange is, that when i do something on the phone, sometimes the phone switch to the task manager menue short time (like i was
pushing the home button long time)
I don't know what i should do now, i made 2 factory resets and it doesn't help. (realy annoying to make all settings/apps again after reset)
I think there are more users with this problem. Some of them wrote a factory reset helps
Maybe flash with odin (But i don't know whether it helps and how to do this) And also flashing = no waranty
Please can somebody give me a hint to solve this problem?
Thanks for your answeres,
Best Regards

Please can someone help me.
Any ideas?
If not i've to flash or send in the phone (this means 3 weeks no Phone :crying: )

Download the same firmware from sammobile and flash it using odin. Factory reset, bit if the problem persists, I'd send it off to samsung

Thanks for your response.
My problem now is that i cant flash my phone because if i go to dowload mode then i am asked to press volume up to enter dowload mode or volume down to restart. If i press up or down it doesnt matter, i cant do anything. No restart no dowload mode :/ i stack in the menue till i restart the phone.
In the recoery menue the volume buttons work.
Nothing than troubles with my phone (had it already 1 time to repair)
I think i will use my phone from now on without the home button. Dont want to send it back and w8t another 3 weeks to get it back.

If you don't mind treading the rooting methods, install exynosabuse app from chainfire to root your device and try use mobile odin instead? I thought your buttons do work on occasion but can't say much else.
If you wish to keep everything clean, I'd say send it to samsung and see what they can do..

thank you for your help!
The way with exynosabuse app and mobile odin and then flashing the phone would probably help, but it is to risky for me.
I will w8t for the next KIES update.
If it solves my problems it is great, if not i will send my phone to samsung.
By the way, do you know when samsung releases a new update für the S3?
Now i've the 4.1.2

Won't be for quite some time I'd say.. though they have the LLA firmware, that's still 4.1.2..
I guess they'd update once they fix the sudden death issue.

why on earth the at&t Lineup of SGS family always getting the same
problem over and over again?
i used to have an sammy's captivate and the SOD problem was very annoying!
a year ago i was intended to change cappy for his bigger brother the infuse 4g
but i didn't because more SOD problems.
is this a curse or someone in the at&t lineup is jerking all over the
hardware? ?!

Never had a issue on a stock device ever.....once you root, replace kernels, and leaked roms.....well... like my 6 year old daughter says to me....."you get what you get, and you don't get upset".

I've never had an SoD of my phone unless I was messing around with something I shouldn't have in the kernel source code. (And no kernels along those lines ever made it to the public...)
So your saying that i should'v be Paranoid about the phone?
By the way is there any chance to put LTR Support in a rom?
Thats about it..
Many thankes!

With the LoC count where it is and the insane number of logical branches... I'm sure there's a few edge cases that still will result in it. It's unavoidable (and 100% understandable).

I never had SoDs with my Infuse either, except for the early days when I was unaware of the 800 MHz suspend limitation, or when I was too aggressive with undervolting.
SetCPU with a screen off profile that has a limit of less than 800 MHz = almost guaranteed SoD on unpatched kernels. But anyone who is rooted running SetCPU can install a patched kernel to fix that. The 800 MHz suspend limit issue doesn't affect anyone with a stock device.
I do recall that something about Widget Locker somehow causes SoDs (most likely because it mucks around with the lockscreen code), but again - that's not an issue with a stock phone.
i had SoD on stock firmware and i get it about 3 times a week on CM7.1 as well. it's the most frustrating thing about this phone. and that is saying something
Excuse my ignorance but what is SoD

It's Sleep of Death.
Meaning when you put the phone into sleep, it actually goes into coma .
You have to spank it a few times before it wakes up.
I had an AT&T GS1 that had major SoD issues. It's the most annoying thing ever.
Now my GS2 just has battery issues, where the Android system takes up to 80% of the phone's battery life sometimes.

Android System or Android OS? The latter is a known issue with the UCKK6 update.
Different SoC no prob. Check i9100 forums. Almost same phone and no problems with SoD

Reinstall using Kies Firmware Upgrade And Initialization
I did the following suggested by someone at At&T forum. It seems working. I am posting detailed steps here for anyone who is interested,
Please backup everything on your phone memory before you attempt this. This will wipe out your phone completely.
1. Open Samsung Kies as Administrator
2. Goto Tools -> Firmware upgrade and initialization
3. Enter the model name SGH-I777 (in all upper case letters)
4. Enter the Serial Number of your phone. This can be found under the batter.
5. Click OK. Then you need to accept the warning and it will tell you which firmware it is going to flash onto your phone. It will be 4.0.4. Accept that as well.
5. It will download the necessary files. At this point you can shut down the phone and remove the battery and re-insert the battery.
6. The while pressing the volume Up and Down keys simultaneously (Not the power button) plug the USB cable. Your phone should boot into download mode. It will display a message Downloading..... on the screen.
7. Start Upgrade button on the Kies upgrade screen should now be activated. If not, you may need to reinstall the USB drivers for i777 and may need to reinstall Kies.
8. Once you hit Start Upgrade button, it will start download the proper firmware from the web and then start sending it to the phone. You will see a progress bar in the phone as well. Sometimes it could give you an error similar to "DLL load failure..." If that happened, try change the Compatibility mode of Samsung Kies to Windows Vista SP2 and run in Administrator mode. This can be done by right clicking on Kies icon and selecting Properties --> Compatibility tab.
9. Once the Kies finish transferring the firmware to the phone, the phone will start installing it and once finished, it will reboot.
10. I also factory reset the phone after the upgrade by booting into stock recovery console. You can shut down the phone, press Volume UP + DOWN together and press power button without releasing the volume keys. Then select Factory Wipe and hit Power button.
11. I disabled all the AT&T bloatware anyway because I don't like them and use them anyway. I don't know that was the case because it didn't help me earlier.
Now my phone works as it used to be. 4.0.4 seems to have a good battery life even with WiFi switched on all the time. Earlier if I keep WiFi on for few hours it completely drains my battery. I am happy with my phone again.
Thanks scot070 at AT&T forum for the wonderful tip.

Way to go, necroposter. Raised this one from the dead with a post that has little, if anything, to do with SoDs. Genius!

Galaxy Ace doesn't turn on

Ok so my problem is that i eooted my wife galaxy ice without any problem, i downloaded rom manager and download nice custom rom, so at this time i lieft phone at home and go to work. At this time i didnt know that rom manager is not suporting ace device. MY WIFE KNOW a bit about rooting because she saw me rooting all of my androud device,so while a went to work she want to suprise me and she want to instal custom rom on her own so she went to rom manager and when rom manager ask her to confirm device name ahe couldnt find ace on the list, so for some stupid reazon she choose huwei phone and she flashed cwm. After that she go to instal rom from sd and she choose cynanogen ics rom,phone go to reboot but it never turn on again, i try go to download mode but it wont go to it, i remooved battery press three magic buttons and at the same time inserting battery qbut noting pc is not recognizing device. The only way for pc to recognize my phone is when i press volume up+home+power(like recovery mode) when i do this my pc is recognizing my wife ace and odin can see it also,but when i try to flash stock rom odin stock on "setupconnection" i closed all kies backgrounds but still same. I also try jig to boot in to download mode but it wont work.

Try if you can go to download mode again or recovery mode..
if not..
simply give it to the service center and tell them it simply stopped working when i woke up one fine morning...
most of the time bricking with rom manager is unrecoverable by users, only service center can repair it. i think i saw a guy claimed he recovered his bricked-by-rom-manager ace in a thread before but couldn't remember which thread it is.
try to search for the thread.

Probably have to change the whole motherboard, it's probably better to get a new phone at this stage. Another way (don't get your hopes up) is to use JTAG, that will probably work but if you dont know anyone with the equipment the pricing will actually be more expensive than the Ace itself.
Additionally, it would be wiser to state your actual problem on the thread title.

i bricked my phone while going from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5
If your phone doesn’t boot into download mode and you have a black screen after flashing heres how you unbrick it, it worked for me .
Step 1 – Prepare odin with the firmware u want to flash (in my case was gingerbread 2.3.3) and get it ready to go;
Step 2 – Remove battery and connect your galaxy ace to the computer;
Step 3 – Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time;
Step 4 – Insert the battery and wait a bit;
Step 5 – At this point Odin should have detected your SG Ace ( Yellow rectangle should appear);
Step 6 – Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.
step 7- if force close issue come-- boot into recovery mode by pressing middle button+power and then releasing power button (keeping middle button still pressed) wipe data wipe cache ..
reboot
If all goes well it should come back to life.
at last service centre is the only choice.. tell them u installed antivirus from market one night and other day u find it un-bootable

Lol wat, i never heard of that one before. The most common one (which actually worked for my friend) is about updating using KIES, my friend got a new phone without any trouble at all.

choice depends on you.... its that are u a good actor and can u convince
If I'm not wrong you can bring it back using a jtag box, 25 pounds could get yourself that.
But just repair it it's easier.
I think You go to service center tell them that your phone got switched off when You were talking on the phone and then it never started again and always act like Noobs in front of them.....
I hope you have warranty for your ace

I got the solution : For bricked ice........ Take an
Icepick.... .. Sorry, but this pass was too good....
I have come across such a situation and successfully have brought back my ace to life. (Disclaimer: I am not saying these are the steps to recover any bricked device, but this is a method i followed once when i bricked my device by following a wrong flashing method)
Just remove the battery and try to switch on normally without pressing any combination. It would not do anything but would drain remains completely.
Then do not put the battery back for a while (in my case i kept it for 5 mins)
Then again follow the same procedure without battery, just press the power button for 10 secs without pressing any other keys and see what happens. It should remain blank.
After that, try to connect the USB cable and then press power + v down + center key and see if it goes to download mode. If not, then put in the battery without removing the cable, then see if it automatically switches on to emergency recovery mode (It should).
Next when u see the emergency recovery screen, now try going to download mode by using the combination (power + vdown + center)
Please let me know if this works. ( I hope this should work)
service center
buy "USB Jig" so the phone will start in download mode and you can easily flash it with odin.

Here's the solution:
Step 1: Buy a baseball bat
Step 2: Get home
Step 3: Beat up yo wench with the bat and scream "You dumb *****! Make me a sandwich".

I've done same what your wife do before.. so i tried every thing but still cant unbrick..
Just send to servis centre if you still have warranty..
I tell them i was on fb but it( ace) goes off..
If u doesnt have warranty anymore just go to phone shop tell them to change your ace board..
Just click thanks if i help u..
I just want to help.. :banghead:

[q] startup screen hang please help

hi i have a samsung galaxy s2 GT-i9100. i am from singapore (if region matters). i updated to the official DXLP9 4.0.3 whatchamacallit version (via the automatic update service) less than a week ago, but i didnt like it for various reasons, of which a very unsatisfactory battery life was the one i couldnt stand the most.
so i went to flash the DXKL3 2.3.6 stock rom (with odin 1.85) as i thought it would be enough to revert my phone back to the old version.
BUT i was grossly wrong. my phone now hangs at the start-up screen, and ONLY at the start-up screen. and by startup screen, i mean a black screen with white text saying "galaxy s2 gti9100" on it.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHATS WRONG somebody please help me. :/
i suppose its bricked? so is there any way i can get it working again? preferably without wiping my data please.
i apologise if im breaking rules or anything by doing this but im really really desperate for my phone to work again so please help/make an exception or somehing thank you very much and in advance to any kind soul who responds.
Did u wipe ur phone before flashing it n after flashing??? try this may b this will work first wipe ur cell than flash GB through Odin
ics to GB without data wipe, don't think so
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
OK you can try to go into recovery if you are root by pressing volume up+home+power key , if you aren't and install other rom via recovery, if you aren't root you can go into download mood by pressing volume down+home+power key and also flash another rom using Odin
I think it may be soft brick because your phone responded to the power key and show you start up screen

[Q] SGS2 after firmware update phone got "locked"

Hi everyone,
Please excuse my English and my knowledge about all this subject is so limited.
Today I connected my phone to Kies and was offered firmware update automatically. So i went for it (believe that it will be only for good) and the phone is now in some sort of freeze mode. It only starts up to "S Samsung galaxy S II" screen and that's it. Completely non responsive. If i try to turn it off it restart itself to that point again.
Unfortunately i can not provide any details of my phone as i cant get access to it right now. i remember that it was on gingerbread and firmware update was offering icecreamsandwich. its Galaxy S2 i9100
i don't know if its related but I'll mention it. This morning i followed instruction (i found on this forum) how to root my phone. Although i am not sure, everything went smooth and according to explanation. If was working fine until this firmware upgrade. Once again i don't know if this contributed to fail or not. Kernel i needed for my model was GT-I9100_BVKE2.
I would appreciate any help how to go back to square one (if possible) and make it work.
Thank You
OK so if you updated it to 4.0.3 and Not 4.0.4, then enter stock recovery (power, volume down, home button) and do a factory reset. Then reboot.
Edit: I mean volume up button

Thank you for your reply - how do i perform factory reset? From phone? I got to "android Downloading" screen (power, volume down, home button) and what then? Do I need to use Kies ...?
Thx
Recovery is Vol up+home+power. You move through options with volume keys and select with power or home button.

I got it from youtube.
NOPE - it wont allow me to go factory reset menu. Only goes back to "S samsung galaxy sII screen".
Does this mean what i think it means?
If youve lost stock recovery then all you can do is go to download mode and flash a 4.0.3 .tar file you download for your region from sammobile.
Then you can root the phone.
Thank you everyone for your inputs.
I went to local store and sort it out for £10. I wish i had more time to play with it but to be honest with you i lost my nerves at some point.
Thanks to all for your help!! :good:

Well you just wasted £10. You could have fixed it yourself in minutes if you had bothered to read in first place. There is plenty of guides and help here and its just a forum or search button click away.

Root gone wrong,sumsung galaxy s6 edge help !!!

Hey guys, let me just get straight to the problem i'm having yesterday my friend download an app on my phone called (KING ROOT)
he used it on his s3 and my brother used it on his s6 (not edge) and it worked smoothly for them.. however when he started to root my phone using this app it got to 71-75% and the phone went off and on and got stuck at the sumsung logo with these words on the top in red (KEANEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING)
now i can't go into odin mode i can't do nothing it just freezes like that until the battery turns off.. and when i press and hold the volume button with the home button it shuts down and in 1 or 2 seconds it goes back to the freezing logo screen with the RED words i mentioned.. an please note that my s6 edge is getting super hot so i'm placing it in front of my fan till the battery shuts down.
Please help ASAP my fellow andriod users.
I have sort of the same problem, I was able to do root my phone, but then I went into settings, then Unroot. After this process my phone started to restart by itself every couple of minutes. I turned it off and tried to turn it back on, then It was just stuck on the T-Mobile logo. Ive tried using Odin, but I get a Fail. I tried with Odin 3.10.7 and TTMB1AOCG_G925TUVU1AOCG_HOME.tar.md5 Please let me know If I am doing something wrong.

I honestly have no idea buddy..
because i searched the internet upside down and i didn't find any problem like mine..
So i went to a place where they fix phones.. and they told me there's still hope that we can fix your phone... he told me he'll continue the root and when i asked why did this happen he said probably a missing file !!
so the continuing of the root will hopefully fix it.. it will cost me 30$
so i advice you to do the same thing bro seek a professional. :good:
If your not comfortable doing it yourself then pay someone else. (And dont mess with your phone in the first place) did you check kingroot works with your phones' software version?
Otherwise try download mode holding power + home + vol down and emergency restore with smart switch.
Excuse me ? Are you giving me lessons here ? If you know what should be done then tell me if not don't talk at all... Plus if you actually read what i wrote you would know that download mode isn't available. Keep your comments to yourself man.
You can go into download mode by forcing the phone off by holding the power button and the home key for some seconds and immediately press the volume down button whiles the phone boots up automatically. This will take you to download mode
You guys just dont like to read what i wrote dont you ? I already said it... I can't go to download mode no matter what i do even pressing and holding the volume and the home button.

Every time you mention download mode you don't say about holding ALL 3 BUTTONS. If you can't get into download mode using all 3 buttons you are screwed.
Are you still having trouble for this? I can tell you step by step how to fix it?

Hey guys, let me just get straight to the problem i'm having yesterday my friend download an app on my phone called (KING ROOT)
he used it on his s3 and my brother used it on his s6 (not edge) and it worked smoothly for them.. however when he started to root my phone using this app it got to 71-75% and the phone went off and on and got stuck at the sumsung logo with these words on the top in red (KEANEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING)
now i can't go into odin mode i can't do nothing it just freezes like that until the battery turns off.. and when i press and hold the volume button with the home button it shuts down and in 1 or 2 seconds it goes back to the freezing logo screen with the RED words i mentioned.. an please note that my s6 edge is getting super hot so i'm placing it in front of my fan till the battery shuts down.
Please help ASAP my fellow andriod users.

I don't want to be rude, but are you sure you can't get into odin mode, because i also had this problem a few months ago, and i could not get into recovery mode, however getting into odin mode was no problem. For a samsung device this is: Holding the start button, volume down and power on button. When you get into odin mode you need to flash the stock firmware and everything will be as it is. It is important to check with these one click apps like kingo root before you root, and also I believe with android 5.1.1. it is not possible anymore to use these apps and therefore need to flash a custom kernel in order to root. Hope this helps.

You need to clear cache on play store app then retry it. Or alternatively look on apkmirror and redownload the play store from there. It could be that you need to update it. After you get playstore back go ahead and re install chrome and browser. Its a good idea to back up your app data to google drive or another storage then when your re install your apps all data is recovered.
