Download an app from playstore called "Quick Boot". There you have an option to boot into recovery. If it still doesn't work, then flash stock ROM from download mode with odin.
Well I have also experienced this!
Solution :-
Just flash the recovery (whatever u were using like CWM, philz etc..) using ODIN.
No need to flash recovery with root files
Enjoy!

Hello,
I am an owner on a i9100g on cyanogenmod 10.1 stable...
The Home button suddently stopped working. I tried to flash a stock rom and I got a successful flash, but a bootloop at restart.
My issues are:
I cannot go in Recovery mode since Home button doesn't work
I can flash using odin using a usb jig to put it in download mode
So... What do you propose to do?
Thanks in advance!

I would like to know if it is an hw related issue or it is related to cyanogenmod.
My issues are:
I cannot go in Recovery mode since Home button doesn't work
If I select reboot to recovery mode the phone restart several times and finally boots successfully
So... What do you propose to do?
1) Flash a stock rom via Odin (so I do not need the Home button)
2) Is it possible to flash a newer version of Cyanogenmod via odin?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I have the same issue, I was in CM 10.1.1 stable and home button not working.
Then, I tried to flash a stock ROM via Odin, and now my phone is stuck in a bootloop...
I tried to flash different ROMS (always stock from sammobile.com) but every time the result is the same: bootloop.
The problem is that as my home button is not working, I cannot go into recovery mode to do a factory reset or flash a custom ROM, neither in download mode (I use a home made JIG for this).
I have also tried to flash the correct OMAP pit file, hoping for it to do a full wipe, but did not work either, my phone is still in a boot loop.
My last hope would be to do a OMAP flash as described here: link
But I am not sure it will fix the problem and this solution is quite risky...
Does anyone have another idea / suggestion ?
Also, I am not confident in changing my home button as it is necessary to remove the LCD first...
@GamingDj: I did not found any i9100g compatible DorimanX kernel, only i9100...
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers
Help
Any help on this issue please ?
My phone is still dead
Fixed it !
I found a way to make it work, and I think it can be useful to some other people.
Here is what I did:
Remove the battery and insert it back in
Insert a USG jig to enter Download mode
Flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com using ODIN, Auto-reboot should be UNCHECKED
Phone will stay in Download mode after the flash is complete. This way the phone will NOT install the package yet
Remove the battery and insert it back in
Plug the JIG to enter Download mode again
Flash the right version of CWM kernel
Reboot the phone
What it did is that the phone tried to install the stock ROM, and ran CWM kernel (instead of the stock one).
The phone boot in Recovery mode with a little instruction at the bottom "Invalid args"
My guess is that CWM does not have the same API and failed to execute the commands.
But... Who cares ? I was in Recovery mode
I was able to Wipe data/Factory reset and wipe cache. Phone is back to life (Home button still broken though...).
Hope this tread can help others in the same position...
Cheers !
Can u use adb?
then, you can enter the recovery mode by using adb reboot recovery

That is stock recovery you need to download cm recovery in .tar format and flash with odin..If it does not replace stock recovery untick reboot then after flashing switch phone off or pull battery and boot into recovery manually
Link cm recovery >> http://d-h.st/YnD <<
The ROM automatically flashes stock recovery when you boot up, easiest way to fix is:
1.Flash it through Odin BUT uncheck F reset time
2.When it's done(be sure of it) pull off the battery then put it on and start it directly in recovery
3. CWM should ask you to prevent stock ROM from flashing stock recovery
EDIT: Sorry I didn't see the person above gave you a complete answer oops [emoji28]
I flashed NightmareROM. I found myself do not like it. I decided to flash ArchiDroid (AOSP ROM). I found it required Philz recovery. I flashed it through recovery (CWM). I rebooted to make sure everything is OK. After making Nandroid backup, found myself cannot boot into recovery and cannot boot into download mode after factory reset., but I can boot to system normally. I installed CM installer. It detected my phone, and I was able to boot into download and recovery mode. I can boot into download mode normally. I flashed the latest version of Philz Touch Recovery through Odin. When I want to boot into recovery mode, by pressing the combination, I find myself rebooting normally. When I press the combination, then pressing home + up only after the first reboot, I can boot into recovery. Is there any problem? I did not try to flash something
Change to stock cwm or twrp and test. I'm guessing a recovery problem as I've had this in the past with philz.

Someone flashed it, and he said there is no problem. Could be there is a problem with bootloader?
Bootloader won't be the problem. I use cwm6.0.4.4 and flash any ROM any firmware without issue. Philz is only a recommendations not a must In any ROM/firmware
Flashd TWRP, still having the same problem

Use one of the many apps on Playstore to boot into recovery or use adb. I know PhilZ sometimes can be a bit awkward to get into recovery but the others should be fine.Have you also tried going back to stock and starting again this may solve your problem.
Download and flash cwm 6.0.4.4
Can't help with something I don't use 'twrp'
Question.. Can you boot into recovery or download mode? If not mobile Odin.
And..what ROM are you running now? Are you rooted?

I can boot into download mode normally. I can boot into recovery mode, but I have to press up + home + power, the phone will boot into recovery, but in less than 1 sec it reboot, so I have to press up + home only
That's normal to hold the three button combo or it WONT enter recovery or download mode. Holding the power button alone will just reboot the device as you can see.
