it is a known issue with ics, the search feature is ur friend . Only known fiz right noe is either a)quickboot app from market, or b)14 toggle mod for ics
Or hold power for 12 seconds.

I have this issue when running the deodexed/zipaligned version, but not the straight Odin flash.
Just need to keep wiping & reflashing. I didn't have this problem on my first or fourth flashes, but I did on my second and third flashes.
I had this problem along with the dead home and search buttons. I did a factory data reset and everything is fine. The only recurring issue is the the mms app freezing when attempting to delete a thread.

I posted a thread a few days ago about not being able to power off or restart my Samsung Galaxy s2 skyrocket on ATT. I am using SKy's ICS rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602216 with the newest update and I still cannot turn it off. The response I got was to use the Darkside Wipe, I tried that, loaded the base rom, then rebooted (it rebooted on its own) flashed the update, and now im back to it not being able to turn off.... I have searched every where and everyone says the issue is resolved, but its not working. Please point me in the right direction to fix this issue.
Pull the battery

Ive lived without if i need to reboot then hold power till it reboots and if i need recovery then do the same but press volume buttons right as it shuts down

Thank you! Did't want to have to pull the battery anytime I needed to restart my phone. Holding the power button in for 10-15 seconds even when its froze forces it to restart. At least now I can put my case back on it....
I was wondering if anyone knew a way to stop it from freezing up? Or at least know whats causing it?
I had this problem too with the Ics roms. If you use the touch recovery to wipe factory data reset it should work. I used to one recommended in the sky Ics thread and had no problems after that.

Do you have a link to it? I have been looking for options and I must be missing it.
I did do the Dark Side complete wipe, and after it worked, it stopped working when I applied the update.

Just factory wipe, wipe cache, dalvik in whatever cwm you have
Ill try that again, and redownload the patch and see if that fixes it. Is there anyway to get an error log to see whats FCing or crashing?

Logcat with adb
Recently my power button took a crap on me, and about the same time I noticed j cannot boit into recovery. I've tried multiple different ways, and every time it just boot loops. Shows me the Samsung logo then a black screen and repeats forever. The only way I can get out of the loop is to pull battery and enter download mode then reboot. I've tried reinstalling the newest recovery again also. Anyone have any bright ideas? I can't wipe anything or install anything new, and I'm getting frustrated. :banghead:
Thank you ahead of time

Load goo.im from the market, flash twrp, then use the app to reboot to recovery?
You can use Quick Boot app, which lets you go to recovery using single click shortcut/widget

"Adb reboot recovery" from your computer or go into terminal in your phone and "su" then "reboot recovery"

Which recovery are you actively using (or trying to)? If its cwm, are you sure you got the right one for our phone? Download ROM manager and let it flash the correct cwm and then try rebooting if that still doesn't work odin the phone to stock, reroot and attempt again

I sent my GS3 in with the same problem. The phone power button started to do crazy things and would not stay in download mode or in recovery mode long enough to flash anything. They are sending it back fixed today. Samsung knows about the motherboard going bad on these devices but they wont tell you about it.

How long of a turn around was it? I think that is the only solution. Also, did you deal with samsung directly? What did you tell them?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yup called them directly. I told them that it was rooted but had a hardware problem. They told me that I can send it in since it was still under manufacturers warranty and they would tell me if it could be fixed. Sent it in on May 28th. Just got email that they are sending it back fixed.

Hmm awesome. I'm not sure if mine is still under warranty but ima call tomo. Thanks

Wish I saw this earlier. But the easiest way to boot into recovery without a power button is using terminal emulator.
Type in
Su
Reboot recovery
Same can be done for download mode.
Edit: nevermind, this was already mentioned.

so i tried to revert back to stock last night using odin and something went terribly wrong. still believe it is due to my power button. i got one section as failed and one as passed in odin. the phone shut off at the end and said it was rebooting, but it never did. eventually i unplugged it and tried to get it on with no luck. if i pull the battery and reinsert it, the phone vibrates, and i get a screen that says "Samsung, custom" with and unlocked pad lock. i have never seen this screen before. i also can only get to download mode for about 2-3 seconds before the screen goes black again. So i cannot retry the process, i now have a brick. Anyone have any suggestions? i was going to send it back to samsung today, but i don't believe they will touch it in this state.
reading up on hard bricks, and mine doesn't seem to be quite that since i can get into download mode. It just doesn't stay there, the screen turns off after a few seconds. obviously not long enough to odin. any help would be GREATLY appreciated. i now have no phone... this shall be interesting with the lady friend :laugh:

As long as you get into download mode you're still ok. Send it into samsung and tell them your issue with the power button. They will fix your hardware issue and will load the stock rom back onto your phone.
I don't think they care as long as your phone isn't hard bricked. I'm sure they use odin anyways to update every phone that comes out of their service center.
Can anyone confirm this is correct?

Hi guys,
Today my phone started acting weird. After I locked the screen or it locked after 15 seconds, it wouldnt turn back on. Only way would be resetting the phone. After a couple of resets the screen just shows like a old tv with no signal(TV noise?). If I let the phone sit for a while I could turn it back on and get to recovery but it wouldnt go into the OS. I tried doing a factory reset on the recovery and I just get stuck on the "formatting data" screen.
Any way to recover from this?
Phone is completely stock. No root, locked bootloader,etc.
Thanks.
For how much time are you using your phone? It's sounds to me as hardware failure.

Since late October I think. Yeah it sounds to me like hardware but the fact that the phone will work fine just until I locked the screen makes me think twice but well...

Well, just got it to start and it went straight to recovery. It went past formatting data and cache and phone restarted but problem is still there. RMA it is!
Thanks guys!
A very weird thing happened to my phone. I was texting and the phone shut off and started to bootloop.
It only boots to the "Google" and about 1 second or 2 into the colorsplash boot animation
THEN it boots back to the "Google" and loops from there.
Has anyone had this problem before?
Also, plugging in to charge the phone causes it to bootloop as well.
I am on stock google rom.

This is called a bootloop and nothing short of a factory reset or a reflash of stock will fix it.

It actually got to a point where I could do a factory reset.
But it still does this.
So I dont know what to do next.
So you've reflashed stock?

Yes the phone actually got stable enough for me to use Nexus RooToolkit to flash back to stock & unroot. and now it still goes into the "GOOGLE" Bootloop
i dont want to scare you, as i can be very wrong here.. but i have ran into a few more users and phones who kept bootlooping no matter what. and every single one of them eventually found out it was an issue with their storage.
