has this problem already came up if so I missed it a link would be nice to fix my phone Thanks

I could be misunderstanding your problem here but I think i had a similar issue... first of all make sure you're holding down the power button long enough to boot up. Seems to take 4 or 5 seconds with this phone.
Also when I had the issue i took out the bat, put it back, plugged into a wall charger and then held the power button that worked. But I think really my issue was impatience not holding the power button the first time long enough.

no i am the screen wont say updating or whatever when i hold the up and down button but it looks for a driver ?? and installs the Right driver

helpppppppppp your way to the search button.

Thread moved to proper forum.

You only hold volume down and power. I had the same issue. Holding both volumes will cause the phone to not boot.

So you flashed the recovery before you rooted. Try reflashing the original recovery. I don't know if that will work. You should have rooted then flashed recovery.

thats what im doing now but gewt stuck at waiting for bootloader to int for some reason

Well your g2x will never go out of the updating screen you have to wait until one click says it has transfered the file. Wait a minute or so after that and unplug the USB and put your battery back in the I would do a master rest.

thing is my lg screen is black can i still root with a black screen ? like i said only action i get out of the g2x is if i hold the vol up And Down and plug it in then i hear the sound of the computer finding it witch gives me hope

I would try recovering recovery befor trying to root again. I would do the nvflash but pick the original recovery instead of cm. Then after that master reset by original recovery which is hold power and down volume. Recovery will rest your rom. Rooting puts you root permissions I believe into a different partition any ways that's how a master reset does not wipe them. Your problem sounds like more of a recovery issue then root.

It is problem is it stays at Waiting for Bootloader int how long should that be there?

are you holding the volume buttons down and plunging in the usb before you select the version? you have to continue holding them the whole time. should pick it up in matter of seconds.

[Q] Can't make selections in recovery mode?

Hey guys, while trying to flash CM7, I forgot to wipe all data and my phone gets stuck on the booting screen. So when I try to get into recovery mode, it doesn't go to ClockWorkMod's Recovery, but the default one. The problem is that the power button does not work, so I cannot make any selections to wipe data or anything. Only the volume buttons work.
Please help, I'm a total noob and I just got this phone fixed after dropping it not too long ago!

It does work i freaked out on this as well. Go to your selection and hold the power button until it selects your selection
Its takes a few seconds holding the power button to register. Not sure if it's a bug or just the way it was built to prevent mis-selections

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately holding it down isn't helping so far. I've held it for 60 seconds with no luck.

Then use odin to install a new rom is all i can say.

Does it say button disabled?

Try hard reboot volume up and power button. And of that don't work it's probably hardware related. Maybe a bad button

Does anything happen when you press the power button?

Thanks guys, I was thinking I might have to do the nvflash method. The power button was working fine previously and it turns the phone on. Got to work then drink tonight but I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow. Happy New Year!

Thanks guys! The NVFlash method worked and my phone is back working again!

[Q] Can't get to download mode

How will I flash custom rom when I can't even get to download mode? CF rooting won't help because it requires odin and odin will only detect your phone when you are in download mode. Volume down+home+power puts me to recovery. Same with volume up=recovery mode.

How exactly do you do the three button combination? Do you just press all three buttons at the same time? I suggest you press the volume down button and home button first and then the power button. Make sure you're pressing the volume down part by only letting the least bit of thumb press the volume rocker.
Just out of curiosity, what's your firmware?

I did that already. Volume down first then home then power. This is not my first time flashing and I should say this is the first time that I encountered this.I tried 3 times but it takes me to recovery. I'm on DXKB2 btw.

Just making sure, bro. No need to get mad or offended. might sound like a stupid question but I just wanna know is/was your phone carrier locked at some point?
Anyway if you can't find a solution you can always just fake a problem and bring it in to the samsung service center.

It's okay. It's always hard to figure out people's tones when online. In any case, why don't you just fake a problem and send your phone in for repairs? It's still under warranty, yes?

Hi.
My GT-I9003 recently freeze at the startup and I would like to re-install all the firmware and drivers but I can't go into the download mode which i press vol- and enter and power button.
Do anyone know the reason for that and how to solve it? Thanks in advance for any opinion.

Can you go to recovery? What do you mean freeze at start up? Bootloop? I'm pretty sure you can get to download mode if you're on bootloop. Try it couple of times! Sometimes I failed to go to download too. Make sure you pressed the buttons correctly. Volume- first then home then power.
Hit thanks if you like my post.

Thanks for your reply. I'll keep trying.
Yesterday I still can go to the recovery mode but today looks like it can't. Usually the phone will vibrate when we power on it but now it looks like it won't vibrate. Instead it will on when i press the power button for quite a while and let it go, only it will on without vibrate. So weird..
My phone will always freeze at the logo there and can't go to the menu already. That's why I thought of re-install the whole firmware stuff.

hmm i think there was a promblem while flashing it. are you sure you pressed the 3 buttons download mode directory properly? i used to have the same problems way back while having the phone.
there is my way of going to download mode using the 3 button combo...
1. press and hold the home and the volume down button.
2. then add in the power button and keep holding them.
3. wait for the download mode button appear.
my other way is for rooted phones with cwm recovery....
1. press and hold the home and the volume up button.
2. then add in the power button and keep holding them.
3. when the samsung logo appears, release the power button immediately.
4. wait for the recovery to appear.
5. go to advanced options.
6. you'll find an option there to reboot to download mode.

I guess my method of pressing the button is wrong all these times.... Anyway, wanna say thanks for your methods. It helps me. :good:

sometimes you need to put off battery from device for one minute put then to phone and then voldown home and power. must work.
make sure that phone is not connected to charger or via usb
probably you know this but i write for the case. and future guests

why not you guys learn how to use "adb"
it is good and fast
1. install the samsung usb driver or if you have kies istall than skip this.
2. unzip and copy all the 4 files ( with out the folder) into windows/system32 folder
3. reboot pc
4. set you phone in setting-application-development-USB debugging mode checked.
5. connect you phone to pc
6. lunch you cmd prompt
7. type adb reboot download, if you want to download mode
8. type adb reboot recovery, if you want to recovery mode
that is
beside, adb also can go into you phone system partition, do the thing like linux terminal.

[Q] Can not install cwm on 4.0.3

Hey Everyone, I have been reading for the past 4 hours trying to get cwm on my phone. I did the 1 click ulda3 and got ics because icouldnt even d/l the aosp one from att. Now I cant get cwm installed. Ive tryed the newest, 5504,and 5027 with no luck. I can get to the odin downloading screen. Ive tryed just about everything and have read all the threads i can find her. When i press the vol up and power i get ahaptic feedback of vibrations i let go and it just reboots back to samsung screen then back to the os. but cant install a custom rom because ofthis

Any body had this same issue?? Im stuck here and i can not move on without geting to cwm to install the custom rom :/

[Q] Alternative way to go into recovery

My power button suddenly stop responding. I can tell cause when I'm using volume wake, everything's working fine. The problem is I can't proceed to recovery considering the power button is the only way to activate it. Am I wrong? Is there another way? Wanna restore to a previous ROM backup, just to be sure I didn't hit a wall with my current ROM. Any thoughts guys? Wanna be sure before I have my phone opened up.
Edit: I forgot to mention, I also used fastboot to reboot my phone but it says my phone is offline. Which led me to believe there is more to it than a hardware issue on my phone.

Update: I finally restored my backup using ROM manager and finally get into recovery using the search button as an altrenate for the power button. It looks like my power button is really broken. Will be using volume wake atm. My only concern now is how to get my phone online at fastboot. :-/

You can go to fastboot or recovery using some apps, like one called for CWM Manager. Or even use a command line in ADB.

You can't get fastboot because when the power button breaks it's like if the power button was stuck to ON. That glitches fastboot and you can't scroll to select recovery or anything of the sort.

Oh, thats is true. :/

Can your device power on ? If so use "adb reboot recovery"

Sorry for the late reply guys. I just had my power button replaced, was so busy crack-flashing when 4.2.2 arrived that I failed to come back and thank you all for all your inputs. Appreciate it! Now my only problem is that my phone won't go online using ADB. Well as long as I could go into recovery within the phone using my power button.. I'll concern myself with that in the future. Thanks again guys!

Try flashing a factory image in fastboot. It might clear out some issues..maybe relock and unlock bootloader too after backing up your data if there is time for this operation .
I do it from time to time.
