After an upgrade, now my XDA cannot 'wake up' any more. Whatever soft reset and hard reset I tried, nothing was shown on the screen. It could be charged, but could not be turned on. Even try to press the three buttons to enter the Bootloader, nothing happened and just dark screen.
Is it totally dead? Anybody can help? Thanks.

Hey guys, anyone else ever had this problem? All of the sudden my phone stopped responding to holding the Power button + End + Send keys. It worked just fine in the past, but all of the sudden stopped for no apparent reason. Both of the keys work just fine when the phone is turned on, so I don't think its a hardware problem. Any ideas? Thanks.

What are the symptoms? You mean nothing happens, that it just stays off when you press that trio of keys...or does something else happen?
(I assume you know that you can also hard reset by the "Clear Storage" function under Settings>System..)
Hard Reset
The phone must be off before you do a hard reset. You are probably doing this but others may be stuck.
Turn phone off
push send and end and power all at once and hold
push volume up to accept the hard reset when it asks you
Follow instructions on the screen.

The phone turns on and boots just like normal. I just don't get the tri-color screen.
It's not a big deal for now since I can just use "Clear Storage" as you mentioned, but I am worried that if I ever get to the point where it doesn't boot up then I won't be able to hard reset without flashing.
It just seems weird to me that its not working. I know I am doing it right because I have done it numerous times in the past. Just wondering if anyone ever had a similar issue.
P.S If it means anything I am using a cooked ROM and an updated radio, but I have hard reset a few times after these were installed. The only thing I can think of that I did prior to this is hard reset and did a full restore using Sprite Backup...
Can this be an SPL issue?
same problem...
I had to do a hard reset because i was suck in a endless reboot loop...i did it this way...
send key + end key + power key + reset button all at sametime and do let go until you see the comfirmation..

After devunlocking last night, now my phone is messed up
The problem is the back,windows and search button no longer work, the portion of the screen that they take up is now like an extension of thescreen it just selects stuff as if it were at the bottom of the screen. Any help to reset all the files in root to factory, I tried to hard reset and soft reset.
Maybe I screwed up the registry or some files. Thanks for any help
try factory reset. hold camera + volume down + power. when phone vibrate release power button while holding the other 2 buttons. should prompt you to reset your phone. hope that works
Thx
I tried that but it enters USB Host mode, I also tried holding down up and down volume and power button to reset which resets it but doesn'tfixmy problem. it's acting like the part of the screen where the windows, search and back button are are now part of the regular screen and those 3 buttons no longer do anything.
This sounds rather like a hardware error. Your calibration of the touchscreen is messed up. I suggest you send it in. You still should have warranty?!
Btw. I don't think this has a connection to unlocking the phone!
If the phone hasn't been tampered with physically, it should be enough to just sync it without re-unlocking it, and it should be locked again.
Thx
I got a new one on the way. I didn't delete any files or regedit a bunch of stuff just a standard dev unlock and it started acting squirrly.
Hello there, I was installing Recovery using this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682, I only went up to the first part of unrooting the phone where it asks me to connect my and install te recovery, my phone after the root did not want to turn on. I tried using the Volume +/- along with the home key, nothing, it just vibrates and nothing. I tried pulling out the battery and the same thing happened, no matter what I did, it vibrates and won't turn on. Also when I hook it up to the charger and try turning on it vibrates and it keeps vibrating in loops, around 2-3 sec apart. What is wrong with my phone? Please don't tell me it's a brick, I just got it yesterday ;p

I think this kit is honestly the easiest way to brick your phone. There are simply too many options, most of them have no real use for this phone, and the free version never gets updated. Honestly think it's a bad move for people who are new to the game.
To get in download mode:
Start with the phone off.
Press and hold the home button and volume down button.
Press the power button until the phone vibrates.
Release the power button.
To get in recovery mode.
Start with the phone off.
Press and hold the home button and volume up button.
Press the power button until the phone vibrates.
Release the power button.
Release the volume up and home button when the blue text appears in the top left corner of the screen.
If these won't work, you are bricked. Time for JTAG.
I agree 100%. That kit seemed pretty helpful for some when this was still pretty new, but recently it seems there are more reports of failures (or worse) than successes. When you get this fixed I suggest reading all the stickies and then take it from there.
Good luck

Anyone know how to hard reset this phone? I'm stuck on the boot screen and have been holding down the power button for at least a minute, and nothing.
Edit: Never mind. Power+Vol Up.
I was starting to download some digital magazines I'd checked out from the library using the Zinio app. When I started, the screen flashed for a second and then the screen went black and the animated Samsung logo popped up like the tablet was powering down, or like you see when powering up. The only problem is that it's been that way for about a half hour now. It's not doing anything that I can see. I've tried to power down and it won't shut off. I've closed the magnetic cover, and it won't go to sleep. I've tried the volume up/power button reset, and that does nothing. I guess it's just going to stay like this until the battery dies completely. Has anyone ever seen behavior like this? Any ideas?
Thanks for any advice or opinions.

Try holding Power+Vol Down+Home at the same time. It should reset to the bootloader screen. Then you can press Vol down to reset the tablet.
Thank you for the suggestion. I'm back in business!
It did not reset to the bootloader. It just went dark and reset completely. No options or anything that I could see. Or maybe that's what you meant by the bootloader screen. Anyway, I didn't have to press any other buttons after holding down the Power+Vol Down+Home buttons for about ten seconds. It completely shutdown/rebooted and, once it came back up, everything seems to be fine.
Thanks again for the suggestion.
