While in the process of trying to revert my I9000M back to stock, I've inadvertently screwed my soft keys i.e. the menu and back buttons no longer work.
I went from stock 2.2 to Darky's 9.2 Resurrection, had an issue with my data connection dropping intermittenly, tried 9.3 Extreme and then 9.4 Extreme, following all the guides, everything worked great but still had the random data disconnects happening.
Before I realized that it might just be the modem and that I should have left the 9.4 in and tried a different one, I tried to go back to stock using one of the guides here and now my soft keys are inoperable.
I've since tried reflashing using the information here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952754
and actually got my phone back closer to what it was when I first got it, but my keys are still not working.
Any help or a direction to go from here in order to get these working again would be GREATLY appreciated!
Found some links to similar issues, I obviously need to get back to the same firmware the phone came with or close to it, then update the touch firmware from there.

Hey all, been poking around the forums and trying out various WM and Android ROMS and they all seem to work beautifully, kudos to the devs.
I seem to be running into a bit of a problem though.
My phone is an MP6900 (Vogue 100) from Bell. And while the roms work great, the second my phone goes into standby mode (when not attached to my comp) the phone resets.
I have tried four different roms, two android and two WM and the problem persists.
Also hard resets, battery removal etc etc to no avail.
I also tried to roll back the radio as that got updated when I went to my stock rom previously.
And to boot I can't seem to flash back to the stock ROM anymore, while I was able to even just yesterday. I get Error 262, for whatever reason.
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and could point me in the right direction.
And I did a search on the forum (pre-registration) but couldn't find anything, sorry if this has been brought up before.
Again, great work on all of the ROMs! I had no idea phones had come this far. (Sad to say but true lol)

Sounds like a dying battery to me.
It worked fine in the original Windows though so that's why I am a bit baffled.
what happens if you put your device in bootloader and try to flash to stock? Error 262 is a connection error. basically happens whenever some event interrupts the flashing process (a dead battery will cause this). If you haven't yet, try to flash to stock via the method in this post (bootloader and then flash)
Tried that, didn't work. Just gets to 31% and pops 262 no matter how I try to do it.
The odd thing is though that I can flash any other ROM just fine.
Would reformatting the SD card work?
Figured it out. I used the 0.41 ROM to unlock the phone which was causing the issues. I reflashed with the 2.3.1 and everything works fine.

0.41 was reportedly having tons of issues, you should have started from there
Glad you got it working.
Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 (i9500). I installed Omega ROM v22 on it and everything went smoothly, Wifi & BT working perfectly.
After a few hours of using the device (nothing special at all, texts and stuff like that) - I noticed my wifi isn't working and by not working I mean that I click the wi-fi button and it changes from gray to the mid-state between gray to green for around 20 seconds before it goes back to green ago.
If I open the menu to see my networks it just says "Enabling" without any networks there.
I had to drive somewhere so I went to my car and tried to enable Bluetooth, and same thing happens there - Bluetooth will not turn on and will stay stuck on mid-state between gray and green for a while and go back to green.
I flashed omega rom v22 again and the problem was gone, or so I thought. I went back to the car for another drive and realized the bluetooth issue is back - and when I got home I realized the wifi issue is back as well.
I figured I need to reset everything so I tried the following:
Full wipe (including dalvik and even including "internal SD card") and then flashing stock rom (from the official website, stock rom of my country).
The issue was back after a few hours. I do not have BT or Wifi access. Yesterday Wifi suddenly started working for a few hours but then it stopped working again.
I really need help! I have no idea what to do with this issue!
Well rule number one when you have problems after flashing without wipe.
1. perform a full wipe and see if the problem persists.

Tried that, no luck.
What else would you try?
In some places when people had problems with Wi-Fi they said to flash a different kernel but I don't see why I would have this specific issue with Omega Rom and why the default kernel with it wont work well?
Maybe this could be a root issue? My root works fine but I have this weird gut feeling like this is some permissions thing that's going on.
I'm trying to think why it would work right after the wipe but then stop working shortly after.
Another symptom: It randomly started working for a few minutes and then stopped again (around three hours ago).
Any idea what's going on?
Well, if you fully wiped and didn't restore any apps and settings then it can be two other things.
Or it's a bug in the rom or a hardware failure in your phone.
I would suggest trying a different rom first. Do not restore anything, not even your google account.
wi-fi fix?
Do you actually have an i9505? or is it a canadian or att version? if its the latter sometimes the devs offer some wifi-fixes, also try a different kernel. otherwise it could be that your radio/modem are not compatible with the version of the ROM you are flashing.
Tried arrow ROM and this issue doesn't seem to happen in this rom. Hope it stays like that...

Sadly, it did happen with this rom, after just a few hours.
I'm now using stock rom and still suffering from the issue.
Does anyone have ANY idea what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
To preface the current issue with my phone, I guess I should probably give some history of what I've done to it. I got my S4 around November last year, where I kept TouchWiz for about a good 3 months. At the end of those 3 months, I downloaded and installed CM KitKat using their easy installer and it worked! However, when Lollipop came around, I got a little impatient and decided to get CM12 using Antares version. Initially, I noticed there were a few bugs/glitches, but ignored them for the time being. As time went on, it became increasingly aggravating and so a few dayus ago I tried to switch back to stock TouchWiz. When I was setting up the phone, I noticed that the wi-fi would just not turn it. It would stay at "turning on" for a very long time with no sucess. Thus, I decided to switch back to Antares version of CM, but now there were a few issues: service was VERY spotty and the piece de resistance: no sound at ALL, and youtube would never play videos. I searched around and saw that using the Sound Recorder would give me an error: "Internal Application Error. Microphone may be in use." Now I'm not the most techy person around and probably should not have been messing around with my phone, but now all I want is a properly working phone, doesn't matter if its kitkat or lollipop. Your help is greatly appreciated. (If you need to know more info, go ahead and ask, because I'm very new to all this) Thanks!
If you want the stock ROM back, flash it twice using Odin. General consensus here is that you need to flash the modem twice in order for WiFi and cellular radios to work properly. Flashing the ROM twice will do that without having to track down just the modem file and trying to flash that.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working :/ When setting up my S4, it's still stuck at turning on the wifi
I switched back to Antares CM, and everything works fine except for sound/microphone (to my knowledge). Would there be any way to fix this?
Hi All
I have an issue with my S5 Plus (G901F) a few days ago I rooted, TWRP and installed the stable MM ROM from Tkkg1994 and have been happily using my phone. This morning while I was opening the Gmail app the device rebooted and when it came back up I noticed WiFi was not on. Pressing the quick menu WiFi button turns it green for a second before going back to disabled. Likewise going to into settings - WFi and using the slider does not work either, it just goes back to off.
So far, I have wiped ART/Dalvik, reflashed BL and Modem, factory reset. Wiped the whole device and redid everything including diffrerent ROM's on the same BL/Modem (CPE1) and have the same result.
Everything else works, just not WiFi, I should also add I have tried with and without the SD card and disabling/enabling other radios (GPS/BT) in different combos has not worked either.
Has anyone come across this and can they suggest next steps?
I'm currently downloading the stock ROM that came with my phone to see if that helps.
Cheers
Stock ROM did not help.
Did you find solution? I have recently started to have same issue with same device.

Probably not. The S5 seems to suffer a lot by such issues. I bought mine 3 months ago in a shop. It worked for about 2 months very well. Then all of the sudden it became hot in my pocket so i had to quickly remove the battery. After this the device suffered by ocessional reboots. Nothing helped. Even trying to reflash the stock firmware by trying several Pit´s.
Finally got a replacement as obviously either the RAM or the CPU got defective. The other phone lasted for one week as the wifi module got defective there. Nothing helped either. Now it´s my 3th S5. This weekend my flashlight and camera stopped working. Fortunally got this fixed by reflashing the stock firmware.
Honestly I like the phone but it seems to be quite buggy. Never got such problems with my old S4 and am thinking about going back to the older device.
dude try flashing 4 files flash through odin
Yesterday I boughten op2 immediately unlocked and flashed, but instantly my hardware keys won't work anymore, also tried going back to stock nothing works. Anybody have any ideas?
See if this thread helps you in any way

You need root and need to do the opposite of what's said in the thread. I used it to disable HW keys when I flashed pie ROM. ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP OF THE FILES YOU'RE ALTERING
