[Q] [SOLVED]home button not working

Okay so.. I have an answer to my problem.. this is a problem that i had encountered many times in forums while i was looking for my answer.. big thanks to diablo2224 for his help and a thanks goes out to Cranvis for actually replying at all..
Okay so the home button wasn't working at all and it would flash and basically do zero (im sure this fix would help any buttons if this was the case). In the end i didnt have much to lose the home button not working was giving me the 'sheets' so i just tried to flash most things for wifi xoom as i was hoping it would crack a difference but it didnt... i ended up seeing a post from stachre for an update and in it was there he had pointed to stock motorola files.. i grabbed these and preformed all wipes (user data, cache, delvik - i doubt it would do much but i did it anyway).. using fastboot i then flashed the boot.img, the system.img, the userdata.img and finally the recovery.img (can always flash over the CWM anway so not a big deal) and booted it back up... suprise suprise the home button was perfectly functional again (every other update/flash of software would seeming 'update' and not actually flash to that portion of the device thereby leaving my problem and the stock images must have actually hit these sectors) i know my answer is long but just trying to be helpful to anyone else with this type of problem (stock Xoom WiFi MZ604 HWI69 images from Motorola)
as a side note : this was followed by flashing the CWM again and booting into CWM and flashing the 2.1 hammer and then wiping user data and booting into the freshly updated rom stoked!
okay it seems the home button is not working at present. i have wiped all data and cache and dalvik cache a thousand times and tried reflashing, etc still to no avail. does anyone have any more ideas? its painful to push the back button a million times to get anywhere lol

ok, so a few questions.
I am guessing it is rooted so my questions are:
What ROM are you using?
Have you tried other ROMs?
Have you been experiencing this problem since you installed the rom?
have you downloaded anything (APP, Live Wall Paper, a random APK File) before this happened?
Are you using a screen protector on the Xoom?
~If yes to the last question, is there any air bubbles or dirt in that area of the button?
~If no to last question, are you aware of any dirt or scratches in that area?
Have you tried the Home tab in Landscape as well as Portrait mode?
Have you just recently updated to a OTA that was pushed out by either Motorola/Verizon/etc?
There could be many possible reasons as to why this is happening... and I would like to help you (and who ever posts afterwords) to fix this situation. I or someone else on this board will respond as soon as possible to your problem and I hope this post helps to solve the problem

Okay mate ill answer each question firstly i was on the manta ray with update rom.. Everything was fine i was able to use it perfect as normal no updated apks no new apks.. I was fine i cam home from work seen the update so downloaded check the md5 and did all wipes as instructed in the tiamat 2.1 rom.. I had previously installed the kernal for that the day prior and was running great.. I tried reinstalling the previous rom again after a few reflashes of the 2.1 hammer and wiped that see if the button would come back to no avail..
I have a screen protector but it is fine i was using it for days prior wirh not 1 hiccup so that is definately elimated.. No pushed updates..

Thank you for the speedy reply to my questions. And I am sorry to say, this is one that is over my head. I would suggest that you go to Tiamat's (Or current ROM's) maker and inquire for their help. I am new to some of this but I thought I should at least ask you the basics and make sure on everything. (Woo A+ Tech Training haha!) But unfortunately, I cannot help you with this problem because I do not know what could be doing this other then maybe a line of code didn't get placed into memory when the device was flashed, or maybe there is a small error in the code itself and only certain devices have this problem (different model number = slightly different change to the chip-sets and code of the device.) There are many things that could be the trouble, and like i said, unfortunately, they are out of my understanding of the device.
I do hope that you are able to get an answer soon to your question and I hope it is a simple answer.
Sorry I could not help any more but I hope others can!
Good Luck

I reported this issue once before when I was using Xoom Zone a month or so ago. I hadn't wiped data, and it was like the home button was there just to look pretty. You could click it, it would highlight, but it was broken. If anything, I can be of service as I have had this issue once before.
I will need more info though. Do you restore data and try to hit the home button, or do you try the home button after a fresh data wipe without restoring data? It's hard for me to explain what I want you to explain, but...

A fresh data wipe mate exactly as the hammer rom thread instructed to do. No restore of data as i wanted to start fresh as i find less problems arise when u try to recover too much data and as the thread specifically called for a wipe i was more than obliging lol

I see. I've never heard of this version of the problem. My problem occurred when updating from the 3.1 Rom to the 3.2 Rom. I only had this problem because I didn't wipe data the first time because after it booted up I thought all was well... until I discovered the home button was broken... lol.
Anyways, even I'm at a loss here for how we can solve your problem. A simple data wipe resolved mine in a heartbeat... but it seems your problem is still persistent even after a clean data wipe install... interesting... can't say that I've ever seen a problem stay in the memory even after a complete data wipe...
The only thing I can suggest is to maybe drop back to a stock Rom, maybe 3.1, then installing Tiamat from that fresh stock Rom with another clean data wipe before and after. That's all I can think of since after a data wipe it's still there. Good luck!

I dropped back to manta still with the issue.. Would a nandroid recovery possibly help fix as it takes precedence over an update cuz thwn someone maybe be able to help

That might help. I can help as much as I can, but...
Try to go full stock first before anything. Do not use Tiamat for right now. Install a completely stock, but rooted 3.1 Rom is what I suggest for you to do so that you can see if it's still giving you troubles on a stock Rom.

I tried that from the other thread and gained a bootloop.. Maybe stock 3.1 recovery and not just an update more to the point where would i find such? I only used otas as i was just speeding process to get to 3.2 to start flashing customs

I dunno man, I'm usually one who has great helpful answers, but... uh, this one stumps me. Like I said, I've never seen a problem that still persisted after a data wipe. It's almost as if it is much deeper than a data wipe, but more like something has locked itself into your Xoom's memory and won't leave without forcing it out manually... something must be messing with your system files or something like that. Possibly something left over from the OTA updates of some sort maybe. Very strange...
I would pass this by Team Tiamat. Sorry I can't help this time. Good luck!

So you want someone to have a completely data wiped nandroid backup of the latest Tiamat Rom so that you can use that? That should work, especially if the backup has everything working perfectly. By having the ability to use nandroid backups you have nothing to lose since it can be restored very easily.

im not picky i would like a nandroid of any rom really mate... as long as the home button was working... so basically from a wifi US xoom (if compatibility was an issue) and the rest was okay yeh that would be great... i dont know anyone else with one here in AUS so someone here would have to help me out
p.s i have already tried the one from the dev thread of the stock 3.2 but that is bogus and doesnt really work for anyone and it didnt for me

I have a 3G Xoom, but I can make a data wiped clean nandroid backup for the latest Tiamat Rom, which I am running since Tiamat supports 3G and Wifi models alike. I can do that after work tomorrow if you would like me to...
Or you could find someone who has the Wifi model and do that.

Cool! I knew it was something with the system files. Case closed.

need help with eglesblood ROM

​ so I installed eaglesblood version 1.08 i think. It is the latest one whaterver version it is and it was a great rom I really liked it but how do you get it to sync with google? Do I have to install gaps or something?If anyone knows I would really like some help because it is way better than stock. I had to restore my last rom because I needed to use the phone for contacts and also I live on long island and we just got hit with a hurricane and I was without sevice when I did the flash and I had no way to get to the market to install anything.
Charlie

Yes you have too flash gapps. Il here is the link download it place on sd card boot into cwm and install the zip http://www.multiupload.com/WK7CNN5YLR dont forget too hit the thanks.button

Gapps gives you the.market google maps and gmail. Too sync with google u need too have the gapps installed. And click menu settings accounts and syn and click add account then select google and sign in your google account. Then your contacts will be restored and you can download from the market

Cool thanks alot. That is what I thought. I will hit the thanks as soon as I can get to a PC. App doesn't seem to ha e a way to thank you.

That is why i do not use the app i go too xda website.on dolphin browser. Thats how.i read the forumsband download my roms

I also use dolphine HD browser it is the best mobile browser I have ever seen. I dont know why I didnt think of hat in the first place. Oh well I took care of it again I really apriciate your help. So I take it you use Eaglesblood yourself? If I have any question can I ask you? I do want to try all of the ROMS on this fourm.

OK this is weird I reinstalled it and everything is fine but I seem to haved lost my internal SD card. in file manager I cant find it and even when I hooke it up to my PC it is not there. Any Ideas anyone? I did two things differently when I flashed this time. I Always wipe the Dalvik first which I did but then I wiped thecache then did the factory reset usually I just go in order in the list and do Data reset then the one after wipe cache could that have anything to do with it? Also after I flashed the EB ROM I flashed the LG camera and gaps before I reset the phone instead of doing all three in a seperat process maybe that did it? If anyone can help I would really apriciate it.
Charlie
update: I restored my last backup from right before I flashed EB and everything went back to normal. So what I am doing now Is moving Titainum folder to my external SD so if it happens again I can still install my programs. Good thing I always make two backups of everything one on my HD and one on my ext HD for my computer. I am going to try again with EB because it is a kick ass ROM. Just a pain in the ass to get working right. This Is my first ROM that is not stock or based off stock like XB. I will keep this tyhread updated.
Update: Installed ver 8 again and still not working right I am not getting sservice now only wifi. So I tried ver 7 and that got service right away and it was all good for about 15 minutes and then I lost the green but still had service but no data no epc.tmobile when I search for networks I get 2 tmobile and att neither tmobile works for data. So whats happening anyone?

Anything removed via Titanium? Any FC messages? Any apps moved to SD card? Remove the SD card for a while and see if still occurs.
Try a factory data reset in the end, if nothing is changed.

It might be some application that you removed and installed on your SD card which is causing all the problems. Remove the SD card and wait a while, see if that helps.
Otherwise, factory data reset or reflash the stock ROM.

I dropped it from my hand accidently and every problems are gone

to mine the same thing happens, it turns off without warning
and change the original rom
and perform hard reset
install cm7
assistance which may be the problem?S

[Q] "android.process.acore was finished" HELP!

big problem for me because i cant use my phone anymore. alyways when i boot it the notification above appears and i am not able to type in my pin.. touchscreen does not respond to any actions, not even in recovery. thats why i tried to flash a non-touch recovery and reflash my current rom -> result: did not work
what can i do now?

I had this before on a different phone, wiping data fixed it I believe.

I googled this issue and yes it said wipe data factory reset will stop the problem. If you do a google search you can read about android acore process.hope this helps some. Best wishes and I do hope this solves your issue.

does not work

Try googling this because they have different online fixes you need to read about. One even said to backup contacts then erase contracts and resync contacts again. Is best you read the fixes for yourself and decide which fix is more applicable to your situation. Best of luck. I hope you get it solved soon ! Good news is there are several sites dedicated to this subject. Hope this helps out. Best wishes

Hi,
This happened to me once.
I wiped the phone (Format all partitions except sd card)
Then reflashed the ROM.
I hope you made frequent backups of TB etc.
If you have one,try to restore a nandroid backup first.

Kk... make backup with GoBackup ur data.. download latest frimware it 3.33 may b, place on SD card root,go to bootloader,flash frimware,then reinstall ROM with full wipe.. all done,restore ur backup..

[Q] Need help!!! Gallery and Videos disappear after flashing

Ok,, This is what happened
I was in stock 4.1.2 and installed Custom ROM,, since that I felt lost few of photos and videos. I didn't feel good with that Custom ROM so I installed back to stock 4.1.2 and automatically upgraded to 4.2.2. And since that I lost greater than before. I used many recovery software to recover my lost but I had nothing. I decided back to 4.1.2 but something worse happened,, 3/4 of my video and gallery disappear,, :crying::crying::crying:
Perhaps someone know what should I do or anyone had same experience like me?

some idk about that but in my case I lost all of my data including all the movies i copied in my tab.. After checking sd card throughly using CWM recovery i managed to find out that every thing was there but flashing a new rom mounted a new partition kinda thingy lol old data was saved as SDcard/data but after the flash new data was saved as SDcard/0/data and i couldnt find any way to access the old data.. I had to format the sdcard completely using CWM to get back the space taken by my old data though...

Any one?

You're welcome I'm always happy to help.. Well the problem is I couldn't find any way to recover the old data... so was forced to completely format my tab using CWM recovery to get back the space of almost 6 GB taken by my old data.. if you can somehow get back to the old partition then it might be possible to get it back but sadly i wasn't able to find anything on the net though.. BTW it didn't happened again though so far and yes you are right it only happened on my tab... I flashed new ROMs multiple times on HTC desire C and Samsung Galaxy Y DUOS but this never happened..
