It seems that home button is not working
I am able to get to recovery and download mode, however after booting to rom it doesn't work. And it is not rom's problem because I had this in previous roms. Right now I am on SOKP
Any ideas how to fix it?
i dont know really but

Hey guys,
A few months ago I rooted my phone and put the Cyanogen Mod rom in it.
Everything was working perfectly..until recently.
My touchscreen is not responding...and the touch pad is also not working.
The phone boots fine but I can't click on anything because the touchscreen is not working.
Anyways, I decided to reflash the rom thinking its a software issue rather than hardware.
But, How do I get back into recovery again?
Usually I would just use Rom Manager to boot to recovery but I can't access this app because I can't navigate to it using my touchscreen or touchpad.
I read that its Vol down plus holding power. I did that but phone continues to just boot normally. Am i doing something wrong.
Please answer.....Thanks...
it is vol down plus power, but you got the order reversed. hold vol down, then press power. once that's done, select recovery.
I tried your method as well (Volume down + Power) but no luck. I think my volume key doesn't work or something.....any suggestions?
I made some progress
Instead of volume down + power (which didn't work) I used back button + power which got me into recovery.
Only problem now is that I need to select recovery. I cant seem to do that because my volume down button doesnt respond when I press it.
Is there any other way to go down in this menu screen....the keyboard is not working at this screen and also it says this message: touch screen - failed
please help
Perhaps android commander can get you to recovery. google android commander and install it on your computer, turn your phone normally and plug it into the computer after its done. Run android commander and select your app, i do recall an option for reboot to recovery.
Yes, thanks for the tip. Android commander is great.
I tried using it to get to recovery. It wouldnt work though. I get the red triangle.
Then I tried flashing a rom using android commander. It worked....the rom installed fine.
Problem now, though, is my touch panel, volume keys, and track pad don't work. They didnt work even before I reflashed this rom.
In Hboot it says touch screen: failed.
Im not sure whats going on.
Is there any way to fix my touch screen. Am i missing something?

This is a hardware issue. So no matter what you flash this is going to continue since its not software related

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.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
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:

Hi guys,
I forgot the pin-code to my Galaxy S2, not to the sim, to the phone.
I can't go into recovery mode or download mode, due to a broken home-button.
Is there any way I can like hack the pin, or reset the phone without having to use my home button?
Maybe by using my pc or something?
Thanks in advance for your help!

2. Hold the Volume Down button
3. Press and release the Power button
4. Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button

Havent tried it but hope it helps mate

Man I thought it was impossible to get into download mode but you got me there!
Unfortunately I do not see the "Clear Storage" option.
The volume down button gets me into a reboot.
Volume up gets me to downloading.
Is there any way I can get into recovery? Or download something to the phone that resets it?
And eh, multitasking, that is kind of hard with no home button.
The back button gets some more use since the home button has died haha

If you want to get yourself into recovery mode try something simpler
A cwm manager app
It has the option boot into recovery

Problem is, I cannot acces my phone so I can't install apps
I'm thinking about flashing another rom, only I can't wipe cache and factory reset before doing that.
What are the risks of that? And is there a big chance of this going wrong?

Mate, if you can enter download mode then use odin to flash
I am not sure you can enter recovery mode without home button though you can with a jig
But haven't tried it
Search xda it if you have a jig

Thanks, flashing right now.
Had flashed a few hours ago, but still got asked for the pin.
Though then I had to register the phone (name, language, that stuff) and after that I was in the phone, and did not have to enter the pin.
Doing that again right now, hoping to get to settings and then get to factory reset
Thanks for your help so far.
Then another question popped up:
To get another kernel I need recovery mode right?
And to get rooted I need a rooted kernel?
So can I root my device without home button and without recovery menu?

Hello all
So my issue is rare I believe
There is no lock screen
no matter what rom I install no matter what version there still no lock!
and now turn off option show up either it just turn off when holding power button.
I tried flashing various kernels and stock roms nothing helped
this can't be a hardware problem because the button works!
What do I do??
PS i tried this and didn't help

Very very simplistic solution - have you tried a lock screen app like start or something of that ilk?
EDIT: I figured out that I forgot a line in the previous method lol it works now, close the thread.
hey guys.. i finally decided to change the laggy stock rom to the latest cm11 mod
installation was okay and all.. when the phone started, it kept saying keyboard stopped working
okay i figured that i copied the wrong gapps .. now comes the real problem,
i tried to boot into recovery by holding power and up/down both didnt work
is there a tool to flash the cmw into my phone from my pc then patch the right gapps?
my phone is pretty useless now so please any answer should help thanks.
This is an idea i give you, i don´t know if your home button or power button are working fine but i had that problem when i started this rom installing addiction, my home button was a little damaged so if i want to enter to recovery i have to press it hard. Maybe you should give it a try pressing harder the buttons. Just an idea.
@medothe1: you are more efficiant, if u use the usual buttons to start recovery: power & louder & menu.
When logo bootloader appears, release power-button.
Can get to settings
