I installed a rom for the first time tonight (Lightspeed), but after installing my home button stopped working. When I press on it, light changes and tablet vibrates, but nothing happens.
Even after reverting back to my stock backup it still does not work. Any ideas?
Same thing happened to me. So I ordered a new one from ebay and tried to replace mine. I cracked the whole screen instead. Apparently the home button was part of the ui and not an actual hardware key.
Problem solved
Reverting back to original Acer recovery image and doing a factory reset from settings menu solved the issue.

I just bought my A500 a couple days ago. I received a couple OTA updates but the last one froze up. After powering down my tablet and bringing it back up the touch is unresponsive.
I've found that if I unplug the power from it I am able to press the power button on and off and that seems to make the touch part work.
However, once I'm in the OS it constantly resets to a black home screen with "Android System" up in the top left corner. Next to that is an icon with a big gear and a small gear with a green belt around them.
The tablet is full stock and I can't enable USB debugging because settings always resets as soon as I get into that area.
I've tried flashing many ROMs using the Power/VOL + recovery mode but none of the ROMs work.
I am assuming that I will need an official ROM in order to actually restore the tablet.
Can anyone help me either track down a stock ROM, ie "update.zip" or help me figure out a way to restore this tablet another way?
Ok, when I plugged in my tablet just now it said USB Debugging was on.
What are my options with pushing an update to the tablet? Are there any methods that would work for me in this case?
Would I be able to root the device at this point and have more recovery options?
Same thing happened to a friend of mine. I followed the directions on this page to fix it:

Basically you are just making it revert to a earlier version.

You are awesome! I've been looking and looking for an image that would work and the one at the bottom of that thread worked like a charm!
Thank you so much for your help!
This rom is not rooted correct? I need to go back to factory to return for warranty.
Guys I encountered a problem after flashing joker's 0.3.0 CM9 build today. Right after flashing that update from 0.2.0, I immediately noticed that my usual red Motorola bootscreen is missing. Instead the menu whenever we want to enter CWM by holding the power button + volume down button came up. My CWM was missing thus i couldn't flash anything (i later found out it was missing and reinstalled it). My screen calibration was off. It was as if everything shifted like 20 pixels down for example whenever I type Q the A button gets triggered, Z button gets triggered instead of A, and so on and finally my hardware keys are no longer functional. Instead they are being replaced by the last row of the keyboard which is spacebar, the puctuation keys etc. I have tried going back to 0.2.0, factory resetting, hardware factory resetting, reflashing faux's 1.3ghz kernal and nothing seems to be working. Please help me guys! Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
It could be the pds partition has gotten messed up. That's what I gather from what you have told. Google pds partition fix, download the pds fix that's most appropriate for the android version you are running.

Thank you so much! Although my Red motorola bootscreen is still missing at least i got my hardware keys fixed
A few months back, I broke the digitizer on my AT&T G2, and the bottom 5th of the screen stopped registering touches. Which sucks when you have on screen buttons. I was on CM11 at the time, so thankfully I was able to unlock the screen just fine and use screen rotation (combined with the Rotate app) to do almost everything I needed. One time I even did a wipe and clean install of CM11 and was able to use screen rotation to re-set up my phone to how I needed it.
Today I did a clean wipe and flashed CloudyProII 2.0 onto my phone, assuming I could do a similar set-up. Everything went well until the first screen, which has a next button at the bottom and doesn't rotate. I'm not able to pull down the menu bar, and since this is a clean install, ADB is off, and my google account isn't set up. So I decided to just reboot to recovery and re-flash CM11. Only for some reason the LG G2 button combo to reboot to recovery isn't working (maybe CloudyProII removed my custom recovery?), though the Download Mode combo is (and confirms I'm rooted still).
So now I'm stuck with a phone I can't use, and I'm sure there's an easy solution that will get me up and running again. If anyone can offer any advice, I'd be tremendously grateful!
EDIT: I was able to get into recovery and all is good now! Nevermind!

you can always get a usb otg + mouse and us your phone like that or replace the screen
So basically my phone was stock but rooted and modded slightly with volume boost, camera mod, and the multi window mod as well. Other than that its all stock and never flashed a Rom on it. The phone ran smooth about 90% of the time but there were little quirks here and there that kind of bugged me. For example, every once in a while the screen wouldnt wake up after being locked via button or double tap. Wifi wouldnt respond randomly unless I reset my phone. Things of that nature, but anyhow I decided maybe hard reseting my phone might clear up some of these issues. I got into TWRP from AutoRec, and checked off everything except internal storage. I believe they were Davlik, Cache, System and obviously it didnt work out for me. I feel like me checking off the system is what did it because it wasnt considered a basic swipe at that point. Anyhow I cant get to recovery, download mode or anything of that sort. Everytime I hold down the power button it just resets and brings me back to the LG logo and just sits there while the led lights keeps rotating colors. Is my phone done for?
edit: Oh yea one last thing, I remember when I went to reboot it I somehow ended up being asked if I wanted to install SuperSU and I said yes. And than at that point it went to restart my phone and got stuck.

You wiped system. That's your rom. Don't wipe system unless you plan on flashing a rom. You should still be able to get back to recovery. From phone powered off state ( hold power and volume up when lg logo is on). Hold power and volume down, when lg comes on, release both, then hold both again. You should now be at the factory reset screen. Press power three times (it's not going to factory reset). You should be in recovery. From here, restore your backup. If you don't have a backup, you just found out the reason why you should always have a backup. If you don't have a backup, you're going to need to install a rom via adb or otg (assuming your recovery is up to date). You can also tot or kdz back to stock (wipes sdcard though).

I was uninstalling some apps to get ready to back up and flash my phone because my microphone volume was stuck at minimum and no one could hear me. After rebooting my back and multitask (menu) button won't light up or respond. This has happened to me before occasionally. I could fix it by powering the screen off and back on. I believe I read somewhere it had something to do with xposed.
I tried flashing using MOP and my buttons didn't come back so I loaded a TWRP, wiped all partitions, rebooted in download mode and flashed with regular ODIN. Still can't get the buttons to function. Home button works just fine, though.
I tried finding a solution to this but I can't seem to find one. I had the same issue intermittently on my Galaxy S4 but I fixed it by wiping the partitions and reflashing. G900R4 USC variant.
So I went into stock recovery and did a factory reset. It was already as wiped as it could possibly get afaik but I thought I'd try just to see. My buttons lit up in stock recovery so I knew they were getting power. I did a factory reset and low and behold upon reboot my buttons came back.
Did I fix it or is there a circuit starting to fail on my phone and it was just luck? I'm curious.
