S5 mini recent and back buttons no longer working after flashing new rom

[sewershark]

recent and back buttons no longer working after flashing new rom,i tired to reflash various stock and custom firmwares but nothing seems to fix the problem,can anyone help

Don't forget to wipe all 4 partitions before flashing anything (even with Odin). If flashing a home version of firmware with odin doesn't help, try flashing a 4-files service version, that will make your phone as stock as it gets. I think there's an actual solution for this problem I saw somewhere too (maybe even on this forum), try more searching.

Yes. For some people wiping chace helped revive the buttons, but it ca also be a mechanical damage. you can add
"qemu.hw.mainkeys=0"
to /system/build.prop to have onscreen software buttons for now that should at least make the phone usable.

its not a mechanical damage the phone always worked until the update.i heard it might be the fw of the buttons that can be displayed when dialing
*#2663# .can someone make a backup of his own s5 mini and post it ?

A backup is almost 3,5 GB, even uploading it would be a challenge.

I don't know if this will fix it but you could try the "Touch key FW Update" Option. Maybe this will work.

How did you get to that menu? Also got the same problem and still couldn't fix it. Thanks in advance

Oh alrighty! I will try it after I finish downloading the stock firmware. Thanks.

EDIT: Flashing the stock firmware from Russia fixed the buttons for me. Thankyall for the help.
