So I'm testing out the new captivate.. I finally put down the iPhone .. First thing I do is put a password on it .. Instead of numbers it's this drawn pattern.. So 2 hrs later I have completely forgotten my pattern. I have no idea what to do!! Oh and I didn't hook up a gmail account
Boot into bootloader and do a full wipe ;-)

i tried turning it on holding volume up, then volume down then both at the same time. none of it worked, it just booted like normal....
i really need to get this phone unlocked, any other suggestions?

It says press and release power button after holding vol. down.
Why would the first thing you do is lock it? There are more awesome features to try out -_-

Yup, holding power button for around 10 seconds will force a reboot.

Loooooooong press on the powerbutton will solve complete hangs.
Hold volume down and power and it'll boot into Bootloader from there you can boot into recovery or use ADB in fast boot.

Try to search Google, you might find something or wait for someone who has been locked like you

When you turn the phone on it connects to AT&T. So, you can enter your gmail account.

Whether you BS'ing or not, When you can access your bootloader, do a factory reset from there it'll restore all defaults.. its going to erase everything though. Pictures, songs, etc. Same thing happened to my dumb wife lol. Have fun
EDIT: if you don't know how, turn phone on. HOLD the power button for at least five seconds after it goes black, release and hold VOLUME DOWN. Report back

So I was fooling around with my phone last night and decided to undervolt to 75mv. It was going good until it suddenly restarted. But while it was rebooting I decided to short out all five of the dock pins on the back of the phone. When I did my phone gave a long vibrate (maybe 5 seconds) and when it booted up a large caption at the bottom of the screen said "Safe Mode" and all my user apps had disappeared. Just the apps that are hard built into venom remained and all my setting had been reset to stock. Rebooted again and it started up in normal mode but I had to go change all my settings back to what I had them. Never heard anything about safe mode on these forums so I decided to run it by y'all.
Yea HTC sent me an email awhile back telling me the way to get into safe mode. I'm sure they know about it here. Not sure if they do but probably. If you guys don't I'll post that email I got

Holding vol + during boot does the same. Its for diagnosing issues. Determines if its a 3rd party app causing an issue or not
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Holding volume down rocker during the white HTC logo screen will put you into Safe Mode. Similar to bootloader, except if you hold vol down rocker before the white HTC logo screen, you go into bootloader. HOlding vol down rocker during logo screen start Safe Mode.
As mentioned, it just starts the phone with no 3rd party apps loaded. Its one of the first thing HTC support will tell you to do if you contact them on an issue/bug.

I think you meant VOL -
BE CAREFUL ABOUT PRESSING POWER + VOLUME UP. I have heard it sends it to Qualcomms download mode with no way of getting back. Your phone essentially gets bricked. I don't know if that issue still remains or if that's something fixable today but I thought I'd just leave this warning.
No, I meant vol +. The issue mentioned does not apply to the Evita one x

lolno, I've done the VOL + by accident before and nothing happens, although I'm on AOKP.
I figured people already knew about safe mode. But you never know. Maybe oneday we will find the key combination for s-off

I've just "Upgraded" to SlimBean 4.2.2 Build 6 however the Network Radio and Wifi radio won't turn on now. I can't boot into recovery now either when holding Power and Volume Down so can't even restore the Nandroid.
Is anyone familiar with these issues and know how to fix them? I'm pulling my hair out at the moment!
Hold power down, your capacitive button lights will flash about six times. Once the screen goes blank, release power button and instantly hold power down, it should boot into the bootloader. Is this method not working?

I think I maybe wasn't quick enough and have managed to get it into recovery.
I have now installed CM10 RC4 but I'm still having the same issue with the Network and WiFi radios.
When I go into settings and try to turn WiFi on it simply won't let me. The same goes for the Network radio as well when I go in using the *#*#4636#*#* code.
Is there a fix for this or is it bricked?
Panic over. I reflashed the boot.img and it's all working fine now.
Mods, please close.
My Nexus 5 is stuck on the splash screen. I have multirom installed so when i boot after the splash screen the multirom menu comes up. I select to boot the ROM but it never does. The splash screen shows up again and then the screen goes blank. When this happened I was doing nothing but just casual chatting on Whatsapp. I have been stuck many times and most of the times when multirom was installed. I always solved this by flashing factory image by booting into bootloader. But i can't even get to hold it in the bootloader. It just goes blank like the instance above. Please help!!!!!
Press and hold the power button for 20.seconds and see if it boots correctly then

I did the same everytime. The device switches off so I boot up normally by pressing the power button and then the thing I explained happens.

I wish I could. I have written in the OP that the device doesn't stay at the bootloader. If there is any other way please guide me.
Press and hold the power button for 20, which should turn the device off.
then once its off, press and hold the power + vol up + vol down.
if you get there, flash the factory images using fastboot.

You could try the secondary bootloader, hold both vol keys + power. But it sounds to me like hardware failure and rma may be in your future.

I always thought that pressing both vol keys and power gets into secondary bootloader so I always used that, so in shot yes I was talking about the secondary bootloader in the OP. Just to be clear primary bootloader is by holding power and vol - key and plug into PC right? Even this didn't work for me. I just get a second to either go press vol up or down when the bootloader shows up. So either it shuts down or it restarts into the bootloader.

Does it stays in download mode?
Press and hold power key for 15-20 secs to turn off your phone.
Press and hold volume_up key then connect the phone to the pc. You can release the the volume_up key if you see the Download mode screen.
If it stays in download mode then follow my guide about flash stock rom with LG flashtool. Link in my signature.
Guys I guess I got it figured. I guess my power button is stuck. Well it doesn't look so physically but it sure acts that way. For example, when I get into the bootloader for a second and I either press the vol up or down key, as soon as the second is over the option on-screen (power off or restart bootloader) is selected (i.e. the power button is implemented), and the device either powers off or restarts into bootloader. So I flicked my finger on it few times, once it booted normally but then again it looped and once the charging screen was shown and then it again looped. Can anyone suggest some solution?

If your power button is sticking, then you or a service depot have to fix it. There's nothing else to be done except physically fixing it.

Since warranty is borked get a cutter, small piece of quality electrical tape ( to keep button up; TEMPORARY FIX ONLY!)) plastic Credit card and miniature Philips screwdriver and use your imagination I did it myself without any previous knowledge using this BELOW LINKED guide and my brain it's FAIRLY easy if your are careful with connectors and don't screw anything else.

Vid about power button rattle fix (usefull for dissasembly):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ego0eXYwOms
check the teardown and stuff the little strips (1-2 mm squares) of tape with trial and error like kinda sort of a O-ring under the power button the ceramic key must "float" over the edges pieces of tape this IS VERY TRICKY it can be time consuming be patient you can use different material tape but I tried cloth etc and figured out 3M electrical tape was the best due to its softness and thickness... worked for me until I got my new untampered N5 ... good luck and use a clean desk for the sake of not losing parts! And before reassembling make sure you got just enough movement to press the beforementionned power key if you don't you'll have to re-open it and each time it's like asking the devil to kick your butt!
The more you will open it the worst the backdoor WILL GET LOOSE (battery cover pins are weak 3-4 times is kinda max X you can open it before getting loose) your can order B/Whites ones from them for 25$
