Broken home button

Hi there,
sooo, i have this really annoying problem with my samsung galaxy s plus. Home button just doesnt work I have to put it on varanty, but i have rooted it and i have installed CM9 by acro with his version of CWM. and there where problem start. Home button is used to "accept" on CWM and i cant restore it to stock rom i can just move around with vol + and -. is there any other option, like connet to pc or whatever else?

Have you tried the power button instead of the home button? This works on my i9000.

You can flash using Odin.

Yes i tried power button, just dont select by this one :<
@dark_knight35 flash what? offical rom? but thers something wrong with download mode. first of all i need to use combination which contains home button second when i use option "restart" in cm9 there is possibility to enter download mode, buuuuuuut when i do i see icon of download mode for few seconds and then its turning off :<
EDIT: i found similar problem guy has with sgs and custon ICS he just went back and reset to factory settings. I tried and guess what, now i cant even enter recovery mode.... -.- everything besides home button, recovery and download mode however is working

AFAIK you can use ADB to get into DL mode, but I'm not sure.

woah, hold ur horses.. less acronims please i didnt get anything from post u just wrote.
EDIT: well now my phone is totally bricked, and i see only black screen of death :< but i found this broodplank.net/old/flashsamsungi9001.php and i try to repair it. strange but i can access download mode by pressing home but+ vol up +power so home works........

xD it works again. You just had bad luck and the flash of your last ROM broke it.

To install a zip do this from terminal emulator:
echo "boot-recovery" > /cache/recovery/command
Then...
echo "--update_package=/path/to/zip" >> /cache/recovery/command
reboot recovery
This will automatically install, just like ROM manager would.

soooo i finally unbricked my phone, by crashing cm9 completly then flashing fearecoverymod and then by restoring from my backup and voila i have my stock rom back home button worked back at the morning but now is dead again so i unrooted my phone and i'm going to put it on varanty. thx for ur input mates. :highfive:

Download mode, how?

Hey guys ,
I tried to enter download mode today to revert to stock after flashing PA 3.99
but i get a black screen saying
"fastboot: processing commands"
Any ideas how to use kdz again?
Thanks:laugh:

Switch device off
Hold down volume - key
Connect usb cable
If dont work, try using volume + key or both volume keys

[HELP SOFTWARE] Volume down stucked

Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 LTE (GT-I9505) and I'm currently at the official 4.4.2 (XXUFN88).
Yesterday I was listening to music and my volume started to go down by itself. I has annoyed me but ok. Today, at the morning, I've noticed that my volume down button wasn't working. So I restarted my phone. So the phone went to the recovery screen. Volume up to flash a rom or down to cancel. I tried so hard but none of the options were available.
After a few tries I succeed to enter in safe mode by turning on my mobile with the volume up pressed. At the safe mode I noticed that the volume up was normally working.
I thought that it could be a hardware issue. Then I head to a place to have this fixed. But after opening the phone we noticed that everything was alright. The technical assistance told me that the problem was at the software. Ok, I came home to reset the s4.
I did a factory reset through safe mode but the problem is still here. Now I'm planning to reflash the rom with Odin, but since I can't choose 'continue' at the recovery screen I don't know what to do.
Please help me. Thanks in advance.

[ATUALIZATION] Hey guys. I had no answer but here I am again.
I'm trying so hard to fix this problem. Now I'm pretty sure that my problem is software related. Just because when I turn on my phone it goes automatically to download mode (and i should been pressing power volume down and menu for that). And if i press volume up it goes to safe mode (but for that i should been pressing volume down and power insted).
Do somebody know how can I accept the option "CONTINUE" at the download screen with volume buttons unresponsive? I do really want to reflash the ROM and check if it works.

Can you not use the up button to loop around to continue then select it with power ?

No. When it reaches the Download screen any buttons work.
See, I found another guy with the same problem. Another evidence that it's software related: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678489

Then a week back I installed wanam xposed and made some changes in the setting to change phone features. It was working ok too.but then i didnt like it and uninstalled both wanam and xposed framework without undoing the changes i had made. today suddenly the phone shutdown and got stuck in boot loop. i cant access recovery mode or download mode nor safe mode. i pulled battery tried after a while but still nothing. any tips or idea on how to recover. thanks in advance. i tried to search Google and xda forums but couldn't find a solution.

wow!
This is something really bad! Even download mode? you sure you press the right buttons?
what did you actually changed in wanam xposed? as far as i know wanam is more on, on theming and not tweaking.

I am pressing the right buttons volume down+ home+power, it shows the the download mode but before i can press volume up to enter it it reboots.

And what about download mode? Also keep rebooting? Are you pressing right combo
press home+volup+ power, when the logo appears release power button and keep pressed the other buttons and voila.
Once in recovery, flash Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip. When the first time install Xposed it creates a file in your sdcard folder called Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip. All you need to do is boot into recovery and flash the disabler file so Xposed will disabled and your device will be working again. Once disabled you can remove the Xposed module that cause trouble.

My dear friends i am pressing the right combo and as i said, i cant access download mode or the stock recovery. I gave the phone to samsung service and those idiots are giving all kinds of explanations saying power switch may be faulty or charging pin is faulty. i am irritated, they just want to raise my bill by changing all parts.

Take the S4 to other place to get second opinion.

Maybe a stuck power button. It's a common s4 problem. You can try knocking the phone near the power button.

You have a stuck/faulty power button. It just happens so nothing you did that caused this. Try to get it loose or replace it.

Thanks you guys. You are quite brilliant. It was the power button. Unfortunately i didn't read this before so couldn't try figiting with it. and took it to Samsung service and they replaced the power button from 6$. Working fine now. quote relieved i must say. Thanks all

After android update, S7 Edge freezes on boot and won't turn off anymore!!!!!

Hello Everyone,
I never rooted my phone, my Edge S7 after last android update freezes on Samsung S7 Edge, "Powered by Android" logo.. and the worst, I can't turn it off!! Yes, is true, I have to wait the battery to drain totally to see the phone off.
What I have tried:
Tried key combination: VOL DOWN + Power, it restarts, but again I enter in this boot screen logo freezed.
Tried key combination: VOL UP + DOWN + Power to boot off, nothing happens.
Tried key combination: VOL UP + Home + Power to enter in Android recovery mode, nothing helps (I tried in every state possible).
Download mode combination works, so:
Kies using the restore option (with IMEI).. keep the same.
Used Odin to flash last firmware from samsung update site, nothing.
All my tried it keep stay showing Samsung S7 Edge, "Powered by Android" logo without any clue what's going on behind.
My version is from German, please guys, any idea what I can do in this case? Return it back is a very hard option as I'm far far away from where I bought it.
Thanks in advance

Seems like an hardware issue with the internal motherboard. If you did not do any flashing/update before this happened most likely will be hardware failure and you may need to visit the Service Center.
Another possibility is that you may have flashed the file for the wrong model

Did you try getting to recovery mode while pressing VOL UP+ HOME + POWER? Sounds like you missed the home button in that step.

I'll try to flash all others models from German and see if it works.
Is possible to know which is my version based on IMEI or other informations that are written in the box?

Thats strange. I had a scare similar to that the other day. I thought I would never get my phone to work but what I did was this:
VOL DOWN + POWER Until it reboots.
As soon as the screen goes dark, really fast, hold the VOL DOWN, HOME and POWER buttons until you see download mode. After that, I flashed the original firmware for my device through odin and it booted normally.
The other option is to force reboot it with VOL DOWN + POWER and then VOL UP + HOME + POWER to go into recovery and shut it down from there, and THEN go into Download Mode, but it seems not even that is working for you. If your warranty is still active, I'd recommend going to where you bought it from to get it replaced or fixed. If they say they cant do anything, you can always contact Samsung to file a claim directly with them for service.

Hi there, I have same issue, have s7 edge sm-G935F stuck at logo. I downloaded 2 different firmware from z3x box(shell) and if keep failing when using odin (latest) and also getting error when using Samsung tool.Also I can't get in the phone menu to check the baseband..can only get model from download model.any advice to this?
