I do not know how it happened but the screen of my gear 2 just do not turn on after boot (just after the samsung logo). Only shows the screen to restart after pressing the button and if the bluetooth connected or not.
I tried
- Change the default from the app of gear in my S3.
- Restore a backup.
- Update the software, but there was an error Bluetooth Connection
- Reinstall the app on my phone, after that would not be anymore connecting the gear to bluetooth
- Hard reset
but still the same.
Have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks for the help.
(sorry for my bad English)
There is a recovery mode, I never used it, but give it a try. Long press the home button, keep it pressed until the device reboots. Then press at least three times the home button (while rebooting). You will see a text menu with a few options. Select recovery in the menu by pressing the home button a few times. When recovery is selected, long press the home button.

If you don't have any data to lose then just do a manual reset..............
Turn off your phone.
1.If your phone is not responding, try a quick reset. Remove the back cover and battery, then insert the battery and install the back cover.
2.When your phone is off, press and hold both volume keys together, then press Power to turn on the phone.
3.When your phone shows the boot mode menu, press Volume Down to highlight “Recovery.”
Press Volume Up to start “Recovery.”
4.Your phone reboots, then shows a green robot on the screen.
Note: If you activate the wrong prompt or run into problems, you can start over by forcing a reboot.
When the green robot appears, press Volume Up and Volume Down together.
5.The recovery menu appears. Press the volume keys to scroll to the factory reset option, then press Power to activate it. Press the volume keys to scroll to the Yes confirmation, then press Power to confirm.
6.When the reset is complete, press Power to choose reboot from the recovery menu.
the recovery doesn't show any menu beside it only show Android Cartone sleeping with Red [!] Sign.... for a while and reboot into normal.
Is that because the main ROM is not properly flashed that many the recovery module fail?

Dumbest design ever... inserted a dead non-functioning SIM and now I can unlock the phone! Thanks Motorola.
But no really, thanks noranora for this. Can get this phone going now
Guys, i have done everything i could to try to fix this problem. But my phone always has popups saying "Lock screen common control has stopped unexpectedly. Would you like to send HTC a report blah blah" I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT'S CAUSING THIS. I even reset the phone. Also, when i press the lock button after the screen is off, there is no lock screen. It's like a plain wallpaper with the pull down notifs. So i have to pull down the notif, press settings and then click the BACK button just to get to the home screen. Along with this problem, when im in any app and i press HOME button, it's like my homescreen is always resetting. And then the pop-ups come back again. I really need your help guys. Hoping for your intelligent responses.
WHAT CAN I DO?
did you modify anything, root ? unlock etc ?
if not, you need to deep reset you phone from recovery mod.

No root. Now i cannot open my phone. The lock screen is absent, just wallpaper and notif bar. So icannot put my pattern password
Reset/format your phone using recovery mod.
if you cannot operate your phone, just put out the battery, & put it back in, start the phone.
Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then press and hold the POWER button.
Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button.

Now the problem is...
I did reset it. And when it turned on, everything stopped working. Like ALL APPS. Popups were flooding. "HTC sense has stopped working". So i cannot do anything, so what i did was I restarted the phone. And voila! IT IS STUCK ON A BOOTSCREEN LOOP. Bootloader's option now is to only REBOOT. But rebooting only makes my phone go into bootscreen loop.
NOW I CANNOT FACTORY RESET/CLEAR STORAGE/ETC. I can only REBOOT. So my phone is practically useless now.
I see a lot of you saying you've rebooted your watch. Can someone please tell me how that's done. Cuz i'm not seeing where that's possible.
I can't get any apps to install because i'm getting the gear2 not connected message. I've rebooted the phone but that didn't fix the problem.
THANK YOU.
ALSO, how do i check for and download the latest rom for the s2? If there's an update.
Press and hold the bottom right button
Assuming you wore the watch on your left hand, there are two buttons on the right side - towards the fingers of your left hand.
Press and hold the button on the bottom, and it will show you a menu to power off.
Repeat to start again.

From Tmobile support :
A master reset restores the original factory settings and may delete your personal data on the internal storage, such as downloads, ringtones, images, apps, contacts, and Visual Voicemail.
If the device menus are frozen or unresponsive, you can master reset using hardware keys. To perform a master reset, follow these steps:
Make sure that the Gear is powered off.
Press and hold the Power key until you see Galaxy Gear rebooting.
Release the Power key and then repeatedly press the Power key until you see the Reboot Select Mode screen.
Press the Power key to highlight the recovery option.
Long press the Power key (5-8 sec.) to select it. The device will reset and return to the factory initialization screen.
You can also directly reboot by simply holding the power/home button a bit longer -- about 10 seconds.
Press and hold, and when you see the "power menu" with the Power Off option, just keep holding the button until it appears to power off / go blank. Then, let go of the button. It will shortly display, "Rebooting...", and reboot.
Now, for those compsci folk out there, I don't know if this will cause any problems with caches/etc., leaving behind corrupt file system data structures or corrupting actual data, because it's not a proper shutdown of the linux kernel on the watch.
Yet, it is much simpler than the shutdown/restart method, and easier on the button (one press vs. two).
I'm not too worried, though, for a whole bunch of reasons about how linux is implemented on small and embedded devices like this with NV storage.
The problem started when I was on my bootloader that simply said "Downloading Do Not Turn Off Target" and I held the power button down to reboot since I didn't see any other way to cancel that screen. From then on, my phone kept restarting over and over again. Basically, it shows the "Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge" logo then turns off and shows a blank screen for two seconds then turns on again repeatedly. If I hold the power button, volume up and home button or just volume up and home button, the phone states "Installing system update" on the screen and goes to the menu that allows me to reboot the phone, clear cache, shut down, factory reset and so on. I tried factory resetting and clearing cache over and over again with no luck. I tried to install custom firmware by holding volume down, power button and home button and going into the bootloader and using odin but still no luck. Every guide suggested that the phone has a stuck power button but the tap methods don't work and I'd like to confirm that's the problem before I take my phone apart to replace that power button.
The thing that confuses me is that when I go into the menu with the options for rebooting, clearing cache, etc. the power button works fine. Whenever I want to shut down the phone, I can click the volume up and select the "Shut Down" option and then clicking the power button to confirm and it does shut off the phone. How would the power button be the issue if it works fine afterwards?
So would the conclusion be to replace the power button flex or is it a software issue? Or is my phone bricked after having it for three months?
(The problem's lasted for two days now)
Sorry, wrong thread.

Yea, stock firmware should do it. If you can get into recovery it's definitely not your power button.
Hi,

I can not turn it off via the app or the watch ?

only factory reset works :/
Ensure your watch is powered off.
Press and hold the Power/Home button (located on the right-edge) until 'Rebooting' appears at the bottom of the screen then release.
Power/Home button
Press the Power/Home button repeatedly until the 'Select REBOOT MODE' screen appers.
Select REBOOT MODE screen
Select Recovery.
Note Press the Power button to cycle through options
When 'Recovery' is highlighted as seen in the image above, press and hold the Power/Home button until the device reboots again.
Note Allow several minutes for the reboot process to complete.
Note To set up the watch after the reset has completed, refer to Initial Activation and Setup.
