Hey guys,
I have a big problem when my phone ran into a problem where the home button does not work. I have read that I can potentially solve the problem by re-flashing the firmware on the phone but I am unsure how I am going to wipe the cache on my phone without the home button. I can get into recovery mode fine but I can't select anyone since the home button doesn't work.
Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks!
Well, I dont know you, but when I'm in CWM recovery mode, I use the volume button to navigate and the power button to select.

It depends on the version of CWM you have, some versions use the power button as a "go back" button, and ohers as a select button just as the home button.
Can you get into download mode? because if you can you could try flashing stock firmware via odin, re rooting and then enter CWM again and see if it's fixed.

Didn't know that... I'm using 4.0.0.5... Hope he's too
Sometimes the power button works as back button, but I don't know why. Maybe I long pressed the power button and it changed, dunno...
So since I couldn't wipe the cache I loaded the stock firmware in, now I'm stuck on a bootloop
What do I do now?
So I got the phone back up and running again but still no home button.... Does this mean my home button is permanently done even though I can still get into download and recovery?
Any help is appreciated here. thanks guys
Hi have you fixed your problem out? I have a dead home button and ended up flashing stock rom viva Odin but still not working. It was partly working before it became dead. Is this a hardware problem or a software one. I'm going to Hong Kong in a few days and see if anyone can fix/replace the button, but if its a software problem it might be more problematic.
I did strip down the phone but couldnt get to the button, realised I have to remove the digitizer just to get there which I am not too keen on.
Any suggestions would be great before I take it to repair or end up selling it and get myself a new phone.
hi my phone just stays on the Samsung vibrant logo
i wont go to the recovery or download mode with the button combo
it just stuck on that screen i need HELP PLEASE
what rom you flashed?
odin GB rom which ported from GS
will change your bootloader
try: volum-&power,volum+&power
i flashed a miui 4 rom but ithink the problem was that i had an old version of cwm-- yes i tried the buttons combo nothing happens
i hope this helps
Use Odin to return it to stock 2.1 then use Quickfixlagfix.apk it only works on 2.1 and this will install CWM on your phone and from there the possibilities are endless,
and about the buttons not working try this:
open odin as adminstrator on your computer
hold the power button let it restart
let go of the power button, while holding the up/down volume key
as soon as it restarts insert the usb while holding the volume key
Good luck hope this helps
sorry i meant any version of one click lag fix old or new dont matter
I have the Galaxy S T959 and i installed Gingerbread 2.3.6 (i9000) and i got a problem with the power button .. when im in recovery i cant use it for selecting the stuff .
Did you figure it out? Is the button broke and do you have soft keys?
I got a korea tablet as a present.
Bought form mpgio.com,model is Note_k,android version 4.0.3.
the problem is the tablet is now showing too many pattern attempts!
Unfortunately,I turned off wifi,disabled usb debugging mode.
I don`t know how to enter recovery mode on that tablet.
so,the last thing to do is to reflash firmware.but I can`t find the firmware for that tablet.
anyone has that firmware??
is there anyway to solve this problem?
Try to enter recovery by pressing volume up + home button + power, or without home button if you don't have one, or use volume down.Do then a factory reset.
I am sure this must work.
Press the THANKS button If i helped
