Flash a stock ROM through Odin. That should get you back to a running state. From there you can customize as needed. None of the key combinations need the home button to work, so you shouldn't have issues. But, you should repair that home button anyway.
if you still have a recovery then you need to let go of the buttons as soon as you see blue text at the top of the screen. if you continue holding the buttons it will try to boot the rom...
With broken home you can not enter recovery mode or download mode. Recommend replace a new home button or sell it to buy a new phone.
I dont think you need the home button. Press and hold volume up. Then press power button and release it after a few sec but keep holding volume up.
Same method applies for download mode only then with volume down.

hello i buy my galaxy from france and i try to flash it with new rom but no download mode ? any solution but without jig or box ...
Didn't you buy the i9000g
If you did it would probably not be safe to flash i9000 roms.
Anyway if you still want to go ahead and want to do all this flashing without researching anything then I admire your bravery.
Here is how to go to download mode.
Switch the phone off.
Hold volume down + home button then press power button till the phone boots.
Press volume up button to confirm.
This is called download mode.
Now flash.
Edit: if you don't know how to get into download mode then I will suggest that you read more.

I recently went back from liquid smooth to stock rom for my s4 and now my custom recovery TWRP won't open if I manually try it it will show the blue line then restart on to normal launch. :[ I lost my root and was trying to get into download mode but now I can't get that if i can't access recovery. Please help!

I got a friend to help ;]
So holding the volume down button while powering on the phone does not get you into download mode? I thought that always worked.
volume down is Odin Mode. You want boot mode.
Volume Up. Home Button. and Power.
When you see the tiny blue writing in the top left corner. let go of the power. continue holding volume and home until it resets again. You'll be in Recovery Mode.
Be careful in there. Id suggest going to "Reboot Now" by pressing the power button.
That outta do the trick.
Hope it helps.

I dont know which method you used but you need to flash a custom kernel after the rom afair. Did you flash the one?
Press and hold volume down, home button and the power key until you get to the Download mode screen.
Press volume down to restart.
Immediately press and hold volume up, home button and power button.
You will see a message about "Installing system update..." which will then change to a Recovery Mode screen.
Use the volume keys to select the factory reset option.
Press power key to confirm that choice.
Once the wipe is complete, use the volume up/down keys to select "Reboot device now" and press the power key.
Guys, I'm wanting to get into recovery mode to wipe my Dalvik cache but for the life of me I can't get to it. I'm doing up+power+home and I go to screen saying 'Downloading do not restart target'. I guess this is download mode. How do I turn this off?
For kicks I tried down+power+home and it asks me if I want to enter download mode. Also tried up+down+power+home but this just does a normal boot.
I know this is probably something really basic but I just can't get in. I did have KingRoot installed a while back. Could this have caused the problem? Any help is greatly GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
Hold power and volume down, then press volume up when the OS warning screen appears = download mode.
Hold power and volume up = recovery.
Don't bother with the home button. You don't need it. Should the key combinations not work correctly, you may have bad buttons on the motherboard.
Thanks for the quick reply. I double-checked my volume buttons and they work as they should (up = louder; down = softer). I tried power + up and still get the download mode screen. I even tried adb to boot into recovery and it brings me to that same 'Downloading do not restart target' screen.
Prior to writing my post above I tested my S4 to make sure I was giving correct information. Both key sequences worked on my S4.
The only thing I can think of is that you have a hardware issue with your volume down button. To test, try pressing and holding power without touching a volume button. If you enter OS warning mode without pressing a volume button, then your volume down button is worn out and needs to be replaced.
My reasoning is this.
Button failures are the most common issue with the Galaxy S4.
You instantly enter download mode by pressing power and volume up while being unable to enter recovery at all. This means you're skipping a step in accessing download mode, which wouldn't happen if all the buttons were working correctly.
Maybe, but shouldn't my phone go into recovery when I send the command to enter recovery from adb? It just reboots and goes to downloading. My buttons work fine when using the phone when android is up so I'm doubting that it is a hardware issue.
It should, but something is interfering with that. I'd go back to stock using Odin, simply to ensure all parts of the firmware match. Then see if you can get into the stock recovery with the key combo. If you are able to, then you can restore TWRP and flash a custom ROM. Otherwise the device needs to be looked at.
Thanks for the reply. I'm running the stock os without root. All I really want to do is wipe Dalvik cache. Can I do that from adb?
Yep.
My phone is stuck on Samsung Galaxy J7 powered by Android screen. Holding down power and volume down buttons for few seconds make the screen disappear for a moment, the phone vibrates, then it returns to the same screen again. How can I fix that? (I guess its because I chose older .img file from twrp.me/Devices/ because the newest one did nothing when I was trying to install TWRP.) I dont have enough posts to post on the developer thread so I posted here
Please help
Approx. battery right now is 65%
Edit: I cant go into recovery mode I have tried alot of times already
Well basically be sure that you're doing the recovery mode procedure right. Try holding the volume up + power button + home button simultaneously. Then let go of the power button when you see the phone logo but remain holding down the volume up + home button. Wait for a while, the recovery mode page should pop up shortly.
Try vol. Up+power+home button. When samsung logo appears go off power button only, keeping the vol. Up and home button pressed. Check if you can enter recovery mod, if not download firmware for your drvice(download the correct latest firmware for your model) in to your pc. Flash it via odin.
