If you do not use a case, or have quick access to your battery, it may be preferable to just remove the battery as instructed.
However if you have your Skyrocket in a case, such as the Otterbox, you understand the extra steps and frustration of removing the battery. Just thought you may want to know you don't HAVE to remove the battery...
To get into recovery without battery removal:
1) Remove USB cable if attached
2) Reboot (either normally, or by holding power for 10 seconds)
3) When the screen goes black, release any other button and hold VolUp + VolDown
4) Wait until Samsung logo appears and disappears as normal, then release all buttons.
5) You are in recovery
Likewise for Odin, except with USB attached.
1) Connect to PC via USB Cable if not already connected
2) Reboot (either normally, or by holding power for 10 seconds)
3) When the screen goes black, release any other button and hold VolUp + VolDown
4) Wait until Samsung logo appears and disappears as normal, then release all buttons.
5) You are prompted with Odin mode warning
6) Press Vol Up as you normally would.
Just wanted to put this out there so those of you with the cases that bury your battery may like to know you don't have to tear your case down every time

I've been having battery dreaded issue from day one and is very annoying. Takes forever to fully charge and battery drains very very quickly.
I've tried the following fix and the results thus far are pleasing.
1. Connect charger.
2. Get into boot loader mode. With device turned on press volume up down and power button at the sometime until you get into boot loader mode.
2. Press volume button to navigate to power off option.
3. Select option by pressing power button.
4. Disconnect phone from charger wait 10 seconds
6. Reconnect phone to charger
7. Press power button for 30 seconds
8. Wait for phone to turn back on and leave on charge for an hour.
Wait for an hour before use phone.
Let us know if this worked.
Won't Properly Turn On. Can't get to bootloader.
--+ How?! +--
1) Updating to lollipop (power off)
2) Goes To TWRP Recovery
3) I Power Off With No SuperSU
4) BRICKKKKKKKK

The phone seems to be woking but I can't see the display....... I think I can get into bootloader mode and press power because about 2 minutes later the notification lighting comes on and the phone makes the beep-beep-bee!
They say not to panic... BUT IM PANICING. Please Help Me And My Spelling
1. Plug it into the charger
2. Hold the VOL DOWN key
3. While still holding the VOL DOWN key, press and hold the POWER key
4. Hold both keys down for over 120 seconds. This is more than two minutes and will seem like a long time. You might want to time yourself to make sure you hold it longer than two minutes.
5. After holding the keys down for more than two minutes, release them.
6. The Flash Boot screen will display, and the Normal Reboot option will be highlighted
7. Press the VOL UP key and the device will start a normal reboot.
If you have tried the above and it didn't work, try this:
Plug in the phone for 15 minutes.
Proceed to Step 2 above.
Did this happen without warning? Were you running stock or custom ROM?
Here are the modes for the LG K3 VS450
Factory Data Reset - Power off phone. Hold down volume up button. While holding the button down press the power button and hold it then while holding it when the LG logo pops up let go for a quarter of a second then hold down again on the power button. You will enter Factory Data Reset Mode. This is your typical LG Reset Mode (one on a white background) and has 2 options.. yes or no.
Advanced Recovery - Power off phone. Remove battery from phone. Replace battery in phone. Hold volume down + power button at the same time. You should see a message saying "Recovery Mode loading... " when you do let go of the buttons. You will enter the Advanced Recovery mode. This is your typical Android Recovery with many options.
Download Mode - Power off phone. Hold volume up button. While holding volume up button plug your data cable into your computer. You will enter Download mode. This is your typical LG download mode.
Safe Mode - Power off phone. Hold down volume down button. While holding the button down press the power button and hold it until you boot up. You will enter Safe Mode. This is your typical LG Safe Mode. It shows safe mode at the bottom left of your screen and can be exited easily by selecting exit from the notifications menu. On some LG's it will require a reboot others it wont.
IMEI Display - Plug phone into computer via data cable. Turn phone off. Remove battery from phone and replace it. Hold down volume up + volume down + power button. After the LG logo you will see a white image pop up make sure to quickly let go of the buttons. You are now staring at IMEI Display. I do not know if this is normal for all LG's or not but I would imagine so. I do not know what it is for either other than perhaps something industry related? Test modes? Etc. I will research and try to find out. I have an industry level barcode reader and software so when I get time I will read the barcodes and see what data I can get. I will also try to replicate on other LG's here.

I broke the power button cable a few years ago. Found how to boot, power off, restart my 1+1.
To boot
1. completely drain battery
2. hold volume down + plug USB charger
it will enter recovery, where you can start system
To wake up
1. Double tap screen
To power off or restart for unrooted phone
1. install "Button Savior Non Root" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey.nonroot
2. follow setting up instruction (which involves allowing accessibility)
3. on screen option appears for power button (where you can power off, restart, screenshot)
FYI, I'm running Lineage 16 + latest TWRP recovery. (TBH, I don't know how to restart, if the system crashes with battery life left)
Hello,
as stated, i got my power button broken probably due to water (not that waterproof huh?). The power button has worked for a few weeks, sometimes it was really sloppy and unresponsive, and stopped completely, and when my battery completely depleted i am now unable to power it on. I am able to get into download mode from where there is an option to restart the phone but of course it requires to press vol down + power button.
Have you got any magic tricks to turn on a turned off s10e with the power button broken ?
Hello! The solution: press volume down + bixby button and now plug usb c data cable (computer->phone), wait 3-5 seconds and phone starting in download mode. From download mode you can restart the phone with volume down button.
