If you can't do ANYTHING, then I would first suggest booting into recovery mode (Vol Up, Home + Power) and factory resetting and wiping cache, if that still doesn't work, boot into download mode (Vol Down, Home + Power) and flash a new ROM of your choice.
I have one of those phones that doesn't support 3-way solution for booting into bootloader or download mode :S
the phone boots up and i can unlock it, then the only things I can do is is slide down the notofication tab and see notifications and also switch wifi-bluetooth-GPS-vibration on and off :S
nevermind, I don't know how but I got the unistaller app up and successfully uninstalled the app, so now my phone works again =D

HI Five!
Also leave Debugging mode on, It might help you use ADB in future when you can't access phone
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:

I just returned my phone to stock, everything passed but I fell into a bootloop. So did the usual and go into recovery to do a factory wipe and try again but the power button you use to select factory wipe doesn't work. The physical button actually works cause I can power on my phone...
any ideas?

I have exactly the same problem with my Lenovo K1. I updated it a year ago to ICS ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798856 ) . It was rooted and worked wonderfully! Yesterday I caught the ransomware 'Android Defender' which disabled all and any functionality. I booted into recovery mode but the power button does NOT react as 'select' button although it works just fine for power on and off. I select a function and press [power] an the first line becomes the selected. pushing it again just flashed the screen. But pressing it long turns the K1 off.
I updated some time ago to JB. To clean things up I loaded K1_CM10_JB_Starter_v2.zip ( http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/374282/20120816/lenovo-ideapad-k1-jellybean-jro03h-cm10-rom.htm ) onto the machine and it installed nicely. I needed recovery to install google play and problem consists. I used the nvflash method to get back to stock (rooted) so that I could go from there ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560441 ). And all is back to 2011 -well, except that I now can't go directly into recovery but when I do I have the exact same problem.
So, whatever it is (and I'd like to blame the ransomware since it misbehaves since then), it intercepts the short power push in recovery, but does NOT affect normal Android functionality while in the OS nor the long push in recovery mode.
I am -needless to say- desperate since I can have Jelly Beans without google play (needed the recovery console to load the zip) or stock 3.2.1.
None of the options are good options.
Can you help?

Did you ever find a solution to this?

How can he get that from Play Store if he can't seem to get Gapps installed due to lack of home button functionality?
Hi, so recently rooted my LG-F320L and knock on doesn't work anymore while knock off works... I've seen threads where u have to dial something like 3845*#802# or 3845*#800# and you go to hidden menu, but it doesn't work, maybe because it's Korean version..? Maybe I've done something wrong with this root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45692679#post45692679
And also I've tried hard reset with menu button and volume down button and it doesn't work, just LG logo keeps reloading :/
I'm on my way installing CloudyG3 1.3 today, maybe things will change, hopefully
update!!!!!!!!! I've just found that number for korean version hidden menu is 3845*#320# yay!!!
but i still have the other problem with hard reset tho :/
I believe the number for the Korean version (F320) is 5457#*320#

Is it KitKat? If it is, turn off, press power+vol down, when LG logo appears, let go and press vol up+vol down.
If it doesn't work, and the Jelly Bean combination neither, connect it via USB to your pc and use adb (adb reboot recovery).

Ok, so I installed cloudy G3 1.3, everything works perfectly fine except 2 things: every time I open gallery, it says "unfortunately gallery has stopped" and when I go to settings>display>home touch buttons>button combination, it says "unfortunately settings has stopped" and it drops me to settings>display slide. And I can't access hidden menu like I did once on stock ROM
This is a known issue with the G3. That is why I have it thrown down immediately.

Gallery can be fixed by clearing the Media Storage dat, if I recall correctly.

What about button settings? :s
False alarm, everyone! I'm really sorry, it was only my fault, because I'm level 1 noob in rooting and flashing custom roms and such... So I was experimenting and after carefully reading steps on how to install CloudyG3 1.3 I forgot to make a backup and wipe system&data That's all folks! Everything works like a charm now
Hi friends,
I have a Samsung galaxy J5 2016 (SM-J510F/DS). It is continuously rebooting, it reaches till android home screen and reboots from there. While in the home screen it shows a msg (Android is Starting.....), and then it reboots. I have observed that all the button presses and touch is working for a short duration in between the reboots. I have searched all over internet and tried numerous ways to enter to recovery mode, download mode, nothing is working. My home button is also not working. Can somebody suggest me a way to enter to recovery mode so that I can do a clean wipe and start new. Please help. Thank you.
Hi,
Did you tried to make reset from within phone settings ? May be you are able to enter Recovery Mode after that!
( My Samsung Galaxy J 3 pro was almost in the same condition rebooting again & again, One Repairer even said that the display has gone but I was able to enter the recovery mode > Bootlaoder > Download Mode & flashed latest stock rom with ODIN > Working perfect now! )
I turned off the phone before it reboots. Once it was completely off, I pressed ''Volume Up + Home + Power'' Buttons all together, released them as soon as anything appeared / flashed on the screen, an installing update screen appeared & then I was right in the Recovery Mode with all the options.
Thanks.
Thank you for the reply, but my home button is not working.
boyuljalok said:
same case as me. theres a third party apps that let you go to recovery mode google "Ultfone Android System Repair" i recommend you to download on their official site, the only problem that this app has is your phone need to be on if its off the app wont detect it

you can try something extreme like shorting home button contacts, but it might be a bit difficult.
