Do Not turn off target!!! screen. How do I get out of this without doing something wrong? Please help. You guys are all awesome
Just pull the battery. It'll be fine. Some say you can hold the power button for 30 seconds too, but who has that kind of time?

Thank you!!! I was freaking out. was I on the right path with the vol up, home, and power to get to recovery? to make my nandroid? I rooted my droix x long time ago but feel in love with a rom and everybody stoped working on the x so I was out of the game for a while. Thanks again

Did you over-clock/under-clock/use a clock frequency governor? Cause on mine it did the same when it went down to low clock frequencies
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
nope no over or under clocking... personally i really have no reason to.... be back in a few gonna wipe cash and delvik....
ok wiped cache and delvik that seemes to work. one thing i noticed.... i have to use rom manger to boot into recovery.. i cant power up into recovry with power and both volume buttons pressed. or volume up and power or volume down power. tried them all ....weird.
Volume+ volume- power wait till Sammy splash shows and dissapears then let go

Correct me if I'm wrong, but let go of the power only after splash screen, continue holding volume rockers.

Yep release Power but keep holding the Volume rockers...

Power button and the home button works I think.
And a second method is power button + vol down. I find the timing tricky and sometimes end up switching the phone or the volume off but it does work when I get it right

IMO it works better if you press and hold the buttons until it says "Screenshot Saved"
Yes...it works! I don't have to spent $4 at the market!

I've found that if you're holding down the power button and tap the volume down or home button it usually works.
I booted into download mode to check and see if it said I had a custom recovery installed or not.
Now how do I get out of download mode without pulling the battery? Is that possible?
Thanks
not that I have found...but would love to know aswell.

Have you tried this and had it work? No amount of pressing/holding/thumping-on the power button exits download mode for me...
To avoid removing the case, I also tried power + home, power + volume up/down, power + licking the screen :silly: to no avail.
Battery pull works every time.
I can confirm: holding down the power and ONLY the power for long enough to finish a bowl of popcorn restarted my galaxy tab 2 from download mode. Phew! The battery on that would've taken longer to pull!

Yup, hold power down has worked on this device and all my other Samsung's. Can take up to 20 seconds sometimes, why it's not consistent is beyond me.

thats just it, sometimes it works and other times it dont.
Battery pull works for me as well as "adb reboot"
I usually do a quick hokey-pokey at the samsung logo
Keeping finger on power button worked for me

Gotta call bulls*it. adb does not work In Download mode
Holding the power button for a few seconds does the trick - just tested it
I had the same question and the actual answer, which I found worked on My Samsung Galaxy S2, was, and I quote---"the same way that you entered Download Mode"--i.e. in my case, holding Volume Down, Home and Power On buttons simultaneously--worked for me.
This was first mentioned by XDA Member 'zoot1'--so he deserves the credit.

I have my O1 for 2 years now, unfortunately i pressed my off button and up volune too hard when soft brick my phone about months after buying. Its still functioning if i pressed hard enough. Now its worsening, is there any way I can fix it? I have tools to open it.
Just a thought. Sorry if there is a previous thread as this, but i search already and theres none.

This might help.
Buttons do have the maximum amount of clicks. Thats why they degrade. If you want to fix it (hardware) u need to replace the switch (the one connected at board) which is hard.
There is a mod somewhere that replaces (or use both power and search key) as powerbutton. It wont replace the power button when booting up the phone but atleast turning off the screen using the search key.

But mine degraded just 4 monthaftrr using O1. I pushed the power button too hard as i was panicked that i hard brick my O1(does not enter cwm, just a few character on the uppwr left corner). OT, sorry.
Thats my main prob, i always flash rom, and if i got stuck in bootloop i have to enter cwm manualy (3 button combo). And it took me of average 3 minutes or more as it didnt detect the power button in the combo.
Have to live with that i guess.
Thanks for all the help. .
But i still hope tht i can repair it. :/

Haha, my power buttons is also very bad.When I got stuck on bootloop I replace the battery and quickly put it on(very quickly) and the I press vol. down and home to enter in recovery, that's the difficult part, but at least it's easier than turning it on with our damm power button

Running skyfall and faux kernel. Everything was fine until installed this app. Went to reboot as requested then nothing. Powered off. Will not turn on at all. Can't boot into the boot screen. Power cable doesn't so anything,...uh I'm confused. Please help
Hold down your power button for over thirty seconds and report back. I couldn't turn on my phone once, but after holding down the power button for ages, it eventually booted.

That didn't do the trick but adb got it to come to life. I was freaking out
The power button and up on volume key does the trick.
