home button not working on surface rt - Windows RT General

hello,
i have a surface rt and my home button is not working. if i touch on it, the tablet responses witha vibration, but it wont go back to the modern ui overview.
on my tablet is windows rt 8.1 running and i cant reset it with a recovery partition (i downloaded one from the official microsoft page, but it is winrt 8.0).
have anyone a idea how to fix this issue ?

Did you try turning it off, then back on again?

But seriously,
Might need to do a refresh. There was an updated firmware specifically for the home button yesterday.

i have all updates installed and turning it off and on doesnt help. i have the problems since middle of the last week, but hadnt had time to look at it further. if i try to refresh windows it says, that i should insert a recovery media. blame microsoft for "breaking" the refresh, reset option in windows 8.1

It appears MS may have removed the 8.1 recovery image. The link I have leads to 8.0.

i have downloaded the win rt 8.0 recovery image for europe but i cant reinstall windows with it.
(could the problem be, that my device was replaced a month ago from the ms support and it came back with winrt 8.1 preinstalled ? )

I had the same problem when I updated from 8 to 8.1 and needed to refresh. The process is jacked up and does not update the recovery partition to anything useable.
If you search all the articles that talk about the 8.1 recovery are now linking to the 8.0 download. Rather annoying.
I may have the iso at home for US, I'll have to check later.

so have anyone another idea to help me ?
i still cant fix this problem :/

Sticky keys can cause problems with the home button, if sticky keys is enabled it treats the home button as a windows button, so when you press it it'll 'hold' the home button forever.
Make sure sticky keys is turned off.

Phone semi-bricked after CM10 Dec19 nightly update. Gesture unlock grid size reduced.

Hi all,
I installed December 19th's nightly update for CM10. I previously had I believe a 4x4 grid for my gesture unlock. After applying this update however the grid size went down to 3x3, as such my phone is not recognizing my gestures to unlock it and I cannot access my phone, making it semi-bricked. Any suggestions? Apologies if this is posted in the wrong thread or has been addressed before but I couldn't dig up a similar thread.
sirkit.
Your phone isn't semi bricked. All you have to do is take the battery out and boot holding volume down. Then select recovery and factory reset.

Got it working again, thanks. Any idea as to why the gesture unlock grid size was reduced? Perhaps a design oversight?

[PSA] Make a recovery drive before upgrading to Windows RT 8.1

Just a PSA, make sure you guys create a recovery drive before upgrading to 8.1. It's currently the only way to reverse to 8.0 and get the ability to jailbreak back. They've made some obnoxious changes covered in THIS thread to block jailbreaking.
We're actively working on it (well, at least I am), but for now it's better to be able to downgrade than to bank everything on a new jailbreak popping up soon.

That would be wonderful. Looking forward to your post. I thought I got used to 8.1, but there are too many crashes here and there that it got too annoying.
thanks
The updates yesterday have hosed my RT.
The fun started with the Touch cover randomly entering keys while the power cord was connected. I did a refresh and it went down hill from there. The not only was the Touch cover freaking out it also adjusted my screen brightness up and down every few seconds.
I tried a reset and now the RT is stuck in no activation hell.
So I tried my recovery USB to find it only goes in circles, asking language, keyboard layout, then goes to advanced start up menu again without doing anything.

[Q] Bluetooth paring issue

I'm trying to decide if I have a software issue that will require a full reset or if I've got a bad bluetooth radio.
My issue is that I can't pair any new bluetooth devices. Whenever I search for devices, it searches for a bit then the bluetooth turns off and back on and resets all the existing connections. It still talks to my Pebble and binds to my car.
I tried booting in safe mode and the same thing happens which is one reason I think I might have a HW problem.
I had a similar issue with my old Nexus 4 and it did turn out to be HW. First the BT started acting funny, then the Wi-Fi died.
I'm not rooted and running released ROM.
Any suggestions to try before I do a full factory reset? or should I just go back to TMO and swap the phone?
Thanks,
Jeff

I am having the same sort of issue and am hoping someone can shed some light on it so I am tagging. I am having a very difficult time finding anyone else having this problem. My bluetooth turns off and on and when I try to search for devices it continues to cycle through the off/on process. This just started about a week ago. It was working perfectly up until then.
Are you running a custom rom? If so, the op post of the ROM will usually tell you whether or not Bluetooth is working.

Ok maybe factory reset. Back up your phone using Lg backup just exclude settinga backup option ao you dont restore the bug. Then either save to ext sd or transfer to a pc. Then factory reset. Then restore. Ill see if I can find a non root app that will clear specific app data.

Or root.. Many benefits from rooting as long as youre careful and research risks before you start modifying anything.
If all else fails you can try to use the tot or kdz firmware

Checking back in. I finally found time to do a factory reset a couple of weeks ago and my bluetooth went back to working fine, no turning on and off. Until today, and now we are back to the same issue where it will just switch on and off over and over again. So basically, it is useless.
I am having this same issue. Has yours been resolved? Is it a hardware issue?
I noticed that my wifi doesnt connect as well.

Flash Stock Firmware using Samsung Smart Switch Windows/MAC

Samsung has released a replacement for KIES to use on newer phones. It's called Samsung Smart Switch. There are the App versions you run on the phone, and there are the Windows and Mac versions you run on your PC. This is a run through on the Windows PC on how to restore your Firmware in case you've Borked your phone. I actually recommend you do this, even if you have not done anything wrong to your phone. My phone ran really hot, laggy, and the battery life was horrible. After flashing the stock firmware, it now runs cool, smooth, and fast.

Download HotSpot Shield's Free version and set your server to the Default US server, then try again. http://www.hotspotshield.com/

Thanks for this. I rooted my Edge and it was having the deep sleep issues so I needed to go back to stock and start over. I really hope the rooting issues will be fixed soon, but as of now going back to a fresh start isn't so bad.

Did you loose root after doing this ? Did you re-root if you did loose it ?
Yes, root is lost. No, I didn't re-root. Currently, I'm happy with how my phone is running. Others have rooted again and then replaced recovery with stock And they claim good results.
Thanks for this!! Just to verify, with this tool including the update, root still works correct? I came from att to t-mobile just so I could root this phone. So I want to make sure I'll be able to immediately root again lol! I haven't taken the update yet.

I personally have not rooted again after using this. Others have said they rooted again and the phone stayed working well. I believe they replaced the buggy Recovery with the Stock Recovery afterwards. Not sure if that has anything to do with stability or not.

Maybe uninstall and re-install. That sounds like a software/pc issue.
Do you get the same thing if your phone is not plugged in? If it works without the phone plugged in, maybe try another cable. Or at least confirm you have the Original Samsung Cable being used.

My experience is less than perfect. I did a backup using SS, did the "emergency software recovery and initialisation", and then restored my backup using SS. The backup supposedly restored successfully, but all it did was restore my apps. My homescreen is not restored despite selecting all, nor are my 5 different google accounts restored. Wish I knew this would happen - I'd have thought twice about doing it....

That's good info for others. I set mine up as a new device when I went back. Only thing I recovered was my text messages.
I've found in the past that when recovering, it sometimes brings back the issues from before, so I rarely restore anything except messages. I take screen shots of my home screens and the app drawer so I can put it back manually as I had it. I find this gives me less future headaches.
Also, for what it's worth, the S6 is NOT the only phone I've had that benefits from a fresh flash when new. I've had Windows Phones and other Android Phones that run MUCH better afterwards. I make it a standard thing to flash them within the first couple days of getting them if it's possible. The outcome is often positive. On occasion, no difference has been noticed.
It fixed all of my phone problems AND the restore facilitated setting it up again without bringing back any of the original lag/clumsiness. Fantastic fix, thanks for sharing!
Can anyone confirm that there's no battery issues after a few days? Are you leaving VOLTE enabled?

I will say I think the battery is as good as it will get with this release of firmware. I leave all my radios on and VoLTE is enabled. With that said, it lasts nowhere near as long as an iPhone 6 or LG G2. So far I can live with how it's lasting, but I do hope it will be fixed in future releases.

I was able to get the 13 build running. i am trying the same on the 14 build to see if itll work on that one as well
Got the 14 build up and running. Seems pretty snappy. Gonna play around a bit to see how it is overall.
Edit:
Seems to be running well. Currently restoring apps. Has cm camera and apps loaded but can get all google apps back including pixel launcher.Pretty well polished as far as i can tell
@CZ Eddie, the "internal problem with your device" is due to an out of date vendor IMG usually. You can reflash the latest vendor.img from the factory IMG to get rid of this message.
Yeah, I knew it was something like that.
But it wanted Q instead of V.
And flashing that didn't resolve my issue where it's stuck at trying to restore from some other device (or whatever that prompt is).
I tried flashing the Q bootloader too and still got stuck.

Did you flash TWRP immediately after flashing the ROM?
I did.
Trying something else now and noticed that I somehow now have CM Recovery.
I stared at it for a minute wondering how Clockwork Recovery got installed on my phone till I realized what it actually was. :silly:
Yea I installed TWRP after ROM. Did flashing u vendor IMG get rid of internal error for you? I tried v and still got error but everything seems to be working well

Hah, yeah skipping WiFi setup got me past that restore from other device thing.
I'm logged in now and checking it out.
There are several custom options hidden throughout the menus. Not all packed into one section like AOSP ROM's.
I can't find an option to remove the brightness slider though, I really like that option and would miss it.

Also curious where these builds are. I tried googling it and nothing came up
Post #4 tells you where to find it.

It wants the "Q" vendor image.
Its really smooth and has built in root...only thing I don't like is lack of pixel home button animation and it don't allow unlimited backup but I'm sure those features will become available in the near future (or I hope they will)
Great job with the ROM invisiblek!
