I thought I saw this somewhere... But what I read about it was it was similar to doing a factory reset, doesn't actually reflash anything. I hope I'm wrong.

Vol- & power will do a hard reset when you still have stock recovery.

So has anyone been daring enough to try this? Lol

Yups, my first G2x was experiencing major reboots so I did a factory reset via vol down + power. didn't help lol. Didn't want to wait for an OTA update to fix the issue so I opt to exchange it and my current one now works like it should

the thread says vol. down, HOME and power. is that what you did?

I believe it pops up the stock recovery menu and goes into verbose mode while the phone is doing a factory reset. The stock recovery menu is useless since you can't actually select anything.

volume down and power will hard reset if you font flash nvflash.

Didn't read thoroughly, my bad. its without the HOME key. I don't think the capacitive keys work when the phone is off lol.
If planning to do so, backup prior! Otherwise it shouldnt be necessary...don't do what you don't know your doing just cuz everyone else is doing it lol

Vol. Down and Power gives me a screen that says "S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading..." And it never does anything. I had gotten a boot loop (hadn't even considered rooting yet) so I pulled the battery and booted up, I guess my finger had been on volume down. Still does that, and it never changes. Just stays like that. If I pull the battery, I get a boot loop again. What the hell D: Should I call up customer care?

It will force the phone to shut down. I did it couple times when my lock screen froze.

Simply holding power will force the phone to shut down.
Power and volume down format on stock or recovery if nvflashed
I don't think home is necessary or used at all.

my friends unit phone is on 2.2.1 rooted, he said someone tried to put gb on for him and failed...long story short, when he puts apps to his homescreens and powers off, they are gone and only in the app tray. he cant get anything to stick to homescreens..
any thoughts
thanks

Tell him to try this:

Or he can try doing a factory reset in the privacy menu in setting s that worked for me.

[Q] BRICKED Infuse....Maybe unfixable?

So basically I have tried every which way to fix this freaking phone from not bootlooping. I've had the similar problem, but somehow managed to get it to stay in download mode before, just so i could get it to flash a stock rooted rom, but now that doesn't even work. It just randomly started looping on me. This video shows what I mean....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BHn7mxQdQY&feature=plcp

When it got back to Samsung, were you able to do 3 finger salute and get into recovery. Hold power down till logo goes away. Fingers on vol up and down then release power button. See if that works. Jig kick started it but you might need to take it the next step.

Yeah I've definitely done that. But it just keeps going to the logo. When I put the battery in it automatically starts boot looping.

Your power button is faulty.
You can open up your phone and try cleaning the contacts.

Yeah that's what I thought, when you say the power button contacts, would that be the little white button inside?? I've taken it apart and done my best to get it unstuck or something.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Not quite sure. I have never had the need of dismantling my phone, but I have read something about the contacts, which sounds to me it could be beneath that white button.

Thanks I'll give that a shot!
Edit* Couldn't find anything to clean, next step is the mother board i suppose,,,

[Q] Phone is frozen, Nova Problem?

Good morning everyone...
Hope all is well..
My cousin's S3 is unrooted. Yesterday he said it froze up on him... No buttons work, however, if you take the battery out and put it back in, the phone will power back up, comes all the way on up to the home screen, but nothing works, no buttons, no reaction from touching the screen or anything.
Verizon is blaming it on Nova.
I know better, Nova is flawless in my opinion.
Anyone experienced this problem? know of any fixes?

There may be an option in recovery to get to download mode, from there he can Odin back to stock.
Buttons not working doesn't sound like a problem a rom can cause. Did it get wet, fall? Did it start to update and it was interrupted? Curious.

Stock recovery should be able to perform a factory reset. Try that and if it doesn't work read up on Odin to go back completely to stock. If that fails you are likely looking at hardware failure. My guess is the factory reset will fix it for you.

I'd try to go into stock recovery by pressing power, home and volume up buttons....wipe davlick cache

Need help..phone won't boot up or recovery

Guys my phone was acting up. I tried to boot into recovery, and it wouldn't go. Splash screen came up and had recovery booting in upper left hand, than it just vibrated and kept doing just that. I pulled battery and put it back in and automatically vibrated. Now it just keeps doing that. I just wanted to clear cache and now it's doing this!
Every time I put my battery back in, it wants to automatically boot into recovery. But than just keeps vibrating.
EDIT: it booted into recovery and went back to its cycle. I think it has to do with my screwed up power button. Not sure what to do?!?

I had the same issue.
You can send it in to get fixed, our pull out the power button like I did.
Sucks either way

How do you operate recovery and getting into it? My phone is back up now. I just tried recovery again and had the same loop problem. Not sure if I should try going back to complete stock.
Does the phone have to be less than a year old to take it into Verizon? Its older than a year. Is it worth trying to go into Verizon?

I was able to turn the phone on after taking the power button out by sticking a pin in the hole and pushing down on the button within the hole.
This was also how I diagnosed it was my power button for sure. I could just flick the button in the hole without paying down and the screen would shut off.
I was told this is a hassle to fix because it could be a short on the power cable. I'm just sticking with my phone like this for now

Ohhhh. Yeah, I'm afraid to take my power button off.
I thought it was software at first. I clean flashed BoneStock and it went away. Then when I double pressed the button today it started happening again. I wanted to try flashing CleanRom but I can't even get into recovery.

It's sds sudden death syndrome it's a known issue with the power button. It's defective.

Oh ok thanks. What are the recommendations for dealing with the issue? I know the user above me took his actual button out. Anyway it could be covered? I'm about to go back to grad school and last thing I need is a defective phone.
