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 you break download mode? I think my Skyrocket is FUBAR :[

I flashed the stable CM10 and everything was ok.
Then I flashed 4.2 gapps and set some alarms.
Now the phone is in a boot loop so I try to return it to stock with Odin and when I get to download mode I click Vol Up to get in and I see Andy the Android for a split second before I get a sort of Blue Screen.
I'm wondering if I broke download mode somehow. Is there a fix for this?
I'm shoving the battery in, pressing the two volume keys, letting go when I see the download screen, hitting Vol Up to accept, then the phone reboots as Andy pops up.
Note: even when I don't accept download mode the screen will go blue and restart the phone.
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you have the Oden process right, where you don't plug the usb cable in until a certain point in the process. Can't remember... Been a while since I used Oden.

Sounds like that might be the case make sure its not a stuck power button. Try using adb to push a recovery file to phone with cmd if all fails get a replacement

If the power button was stuck I don't think I'd be able to see the download mode prompt.

Make sure you are using the usb cable that came with the phone. I really don't think you have a bricked phone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

it could be the sticky power button issue, info on that in the ref sticky, if not the button, then hardware failure, u can try to remove battery for about ten mins then check to see if it is resolved

Umm... I've never had to press volume up to accept download mode... just sayin.

Oh and its not bricked, I'm pretty sure. I got this little dongle thing from Amazon last year for my vibrant, but it works for my skyrocket too, for like 2 dollars. (I guess u can make em also) You just plug it into your phone and it puts it in download mode. Very handy.

Well I don't think it's the power button because I don't think I could get to Download mode with the power button being pressed.
Here's a video of what's happening:
http://youtu.be/SY_dN7qN36w

That's a pretty guick sequence. So are you inserting the battery then hold down the buttons then inserting the cable.?
Maybe give the electrons a chance to flow into the circuits!

Yes. It had to be quick. If I do it slowly it starts the boot loop.
After talking to AT&T I'm getting a new battery. I really hope that's the problem, even though I don't think that's it.

If your phone starts to reboot you're doing something wrong. Download mode should last indefinitely. In fact you have to tell it to proceed to some other step. Re-read Vincom's instructions.
Edit : sounds to me that you are not holding down the volume buttons with the power button.

8. How To Put your device into Download Mode: (download mode is NOT the same as recovery mode)
a. Connect the USB cable to your PC, but NOT your device.
b. Remove the battery.
c. Reinsert the battery.
d. Press and keep down both Volume Up and Volume Down keys then insert the USB cable into your device. (On Rogers phones It's just Vol Down.) DO NOT RELEASE THE VOLUME BUTTONS UNTIL INSTRUCTED
e. When You see the screen warning you about installing a rom w/a yellow triangle RELEASE the volume key(s)
f. Now press and release the volume "up" key, you should now be at the Download Mode screen w/odin recognising your phone. -See Pics Below-.

It says not to touch the power button. Is the power button a part of this? In the video I didn't hold it.
As for the sticky power button, I really don't know. I clobbered it, I listened very carefully to it. The instructions to fix it were like "hit it hard and repeatedly" or something.
When do you think I should be hitting these buttons? before the vibrate, or after? Before the Samsung logo, or after? With power button, without?

Can you hear a"click" when you press the power button?... It's not very loud but definitely a click.

Well here's the thing lobster... On my phone if I replace the battery... Nothing happens... If I now press and hold the volume buttons with out inserting a cable... Nothing happens.
Yours must be stuck in the pressed state although you say it clicks when pushed.??? Don't suppose you have any contact cleaner? Maybe a tiny drop of rubbing alcohol?

So when you take out the battery and put it back in it doesn't try to turn itself on? If you're saying you can put the battery back in it and nothing happens, then I guess the button must be stuck.

Where would I put the rubbing alcohol? Would I need to take apart the chassis/case/housing? I imagine rubbing it on the power button wouldn't do anything.
BTW, sincerely, thanks for the help.
Edit: I bashed the phone, power button first, against the table while it was booting up and I saw my boot animation for a second. I thought it was fixed so I stopped bashing and it just rebooted again.

its 99% the power button, hearing it click is no indication thats its working as its an internal problem, theres 3 links to the problem in the "info" section in the "1 stop" sticky in my sig . taking it apart to get to the internal contact is one way to fix it, maybe the only way to fix it. if phone starts as soon as you put the battery in w/out touching any buttons then its a sticky/failed power button. warranty repair is also another solution
its 1% for a battery and/or battery contact problem

Samsung Gio Stuck on Boot & Can't enter Recovery

Earlier, my Gio told me about rebooting for something about wiping data or something like that.
There was no other option so I pressed the button and it restarted now its stuck on a screen, not sure if it's download mode :/
It has the Android mascot and a box with an orange arrow coming out of it, with a progress bar on the bottom that does not move. The screen also flickers. I have tried plugging my phone on the PC but it does not work. Have any idea how to fix this?

Now you can do only one if your binary counter is 0 then definitely give it in the service center.....
press thanks if I helped. ......

Well i think you should resort with a usb jig if else fails. If that doesn't work service centre is the answer. Using usb jig will get yourphone into download mode. So you can flash stock kernel and rom through odin.

I got my phone bricked the same way @op did. It's in service center now.

Remove the battery.
Connect the USB to the phone.
Then try to boot in download mode..
If successful then insert the battery without removing the USB .
And then flash the stock kernel or stock ROM as per ur choice.
