Stuck at battery while phone is off.

Well me being the idiotic adventurous person. I tried to CWM my phone to ICBINB, and so everything went through ya know. then I rebooted. it got stuck once again. Now it won't go into dl mode or recovery. when i plug the usb it goes straight to the sign with the battery, but even that got stuck. so i tried adb reboot download and the device isn''t found. So did I like screw myself over? the only way for me to get to the Samsung GalaxyS 4G Screen is without the usb. So anyhelp on how i can fix this.

Did you try getting into recovery i.e.,hold volume up + volume down + power until recovery comes up. If you made any backups and you can get into recovery sometimes you can reboot a saved backup.

Also to get into DL mode hold volume up + volume down and while holding plug USB into your phone keep holding volume buttons till giant triangle appears

Even if the chargin battery comes up keep holding the volume buttons? cause the battery you know how it's suppose to charge with the green. Mines stuck it has the loading circle and the battery picture is blank. so it's like stuck there, should i just keep holding those buttons? and i've tried alot of methods already so far none have worked. I really don't want to have to buy another phone.

Pull the battery and then try getting it into download mode

Had the same.problem.as you. Gingerbread bootloaders.
open odin on your pc and connect the usb to your phone. Pull the battery and hold volume down + power button and put battery in as your holding those two

Actually no. I tried using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1157593 and I literally did everything precisely, then i rebooted. then i came across this horrible problem. So I don't really know if it was GB. but what rom are you using?
I figured i'll just cut my losses and stick to KC1 Stock +Root Froyo 2.2.1

Try what Ricky said that's what meant pull battery hold volume buttons plug in USB then put battery back in. You're soft bricked you can get out of this. This is why you have to read read read. Always start where it says READ THIS FIRST when your joining a new forum. Do yourself a favor and check out the Bible in this forum its packed with everything you need. In the meantime I'll try to help you out the best I can but I have to go to work in a half hour.

Hahaha Ricky was right I was able to get into ODIN, and now I'm gonna flash back to KC1 . If I'm going to flash a ROM i'm doing it ODIN style. I'm a failure at CWM.

Right now I'm running dsexton's ICBINB rom. I was running krylon's Black Ice

Odin is a safe way to go. Happy flashing ;-)

Thanks steelain!
AND STEELAIN WHAT!? HOW ARE YOU USING THAT!?!?!
I TRIED DOING IT AND I FAILED. omg, fml. what did you do? Like Exact steps i need to know what I did wrong.

Flash using the noobs guide to odin found in the bible thread guide section, but instead of downloading kb5 from that thread, grab the stock deodexed kc1 from the odin rom section of the bible. Get into download mode by pulling out your battery, pressing both volume buttons and plugging in the usb cord.
I kept telling you to read the bible thread and the directions in each thread! But this is a soft brick and you can fix it, so it will be ok. Search for the bible thread! SEARCH!! Know what you are doing before you make a change. Just odin for now and get that running. I can give you very specific directions in a bit on how to flash a rom. Let us know how it goes

Dont' worry i already flashed it back to the rom you suggested (KC1 Deodexed) what im fine with ODIN, i know how to use it. what im struggling on is the ICBINB Final ROM that Team Acid released. I've tried it twice to get installed and ive failed each time. because it won't get passed the dang splash screen where it says Samsung GalaxyS 4G, and you cant use odin with it. it has to be CWM i believe

Are you on red cmw? Chances are your not so you have to check your mounts on recovery very important probably causing your brick

[Q] Xoom 2 p/w locked.... Tear down?

Ok my xoom 2 has been password locked thanks to my 10 year old brother who doesn't know what the password is.... (oh yay) unfortunately usb debugging wasn't enabled so running any commands to hard reset my xoom is a no go.
I have searched and searched for the last few days with no success in finding a solution so i'm going to have to go beneath the hood and have a play around.
I already know how to tear down the xoom as I've already tried doing a battery pull.
Does anyone at all know anything about the internals that I could pull to wipe the device or return it to stock?
I really don't like the idea that I have spent a few hundred dollars on a pretty looking frisbee.... :-/

Can XDA get me into download mode by tomorrow morning?

So here's my situation.
• Bottom volume button fell out.. literally fell out. The ACTUAL button, not the cover.
• On CM10, doesn't have an option to go into download mode from the power menu.
• CM10 pisses me off, going back to UCLB3.
What can I do to get in download mode? Do any ICS or JB ROMs have an option in the power menu?
Also I'm aware of the jig and willing to mutilate a USB cable but I don't have any resistors.

Try an app called Reboot Menu (no ads)... this has an option to reboot into download mode that works on the Infuse.
Any of the roms that include EPM (Extended Power Menu) will have an option to reboot into download mode via a long press of the power button.

I've not tried a jb ROM that didn't have that option.

HSS referring to download mode not recovery...I'll back him up that the option isn't in any jb/ICS ROM I know of
That app mentioned earlier sounds like your best bet

try using the app quick reboot or using rom toolbox's rebooter they'll do the job

Does it turn on automatically when you insert the battery?
If it does, your power button is stuck.
