Turn off the phone, go into recovery by pressing and holdimg the power and both volume rockers, then do a factory reset. That should fix your problem

All i want is a Lock Screen but not a pattern nor a pin. On my old SGS2 i just would pick a pic for the Lock Screen Wallpaper and all i had to do was slide the picture and it would unlock it. I cant seem to find the settings at all. And before my old phone i would press my power button it will ask to turn off airplane mode this one just will turn it off if I even press the power button. It was not rooted my old phone
I was typing the above on my phone. Sorry

Well then you will have learn to cope with your issue. Resetting or re-flashing is about the only thing you can do to fix the problem. It was probably due to a bad flash.

OK I see. Umm you could try fixing permissions via cwm. Do you have any other lock screen applications or have you had?

Nope never a lock screen app at all. On neither i guess i might just root this ***** lol cause is getting on my nerves and look for a better rom cause this stock rom sucks
Like I said the only solution I can think of is doing a reset. When I received my 2nd SGS2 thru the warranty it had this same issue. It had no lockscreen and no power menu. When I press and hold the power button it would just turn off the phone. The factory reset was the only thing that fixed it.

But i mine is not rooted so how can i access it ?
To perform a hard reset using the hardware keys, follow these steps:
1) Back up all necessary data that is on the internal memory.
2) Turn off the device.
3) Press and hold both Volume Up and Volume Down keys at the same time.
4) Press the Power key only until the phone vibrates once, then release only the Power key.
5) Continue to hold the Volume up and Volume Down keys until the Android System Recovery screen appears.
6) Press the Volume Down key to highlight Wipe Factory Data.
7) Press the Home key to select.
8) Press the Volume Down key to highlight Yes - Delete all user data.
9) Press the Home key to select.
10) Press the Home key to reboot.
This worked like a charm !!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20506622&postcount=2

Indeed. Aside from the boot combinations that's about it.

well if were gonna go there, hold home for recent apps
and i wish holding back would kill current app like in MIUI
Menu key opens menu (in apps that support it).
The volume rocker obviously controls the volume... And if you hold the volume down it puts your phone on silent with vibration.
Lol... Now were done here.

Well, if you're going to get into the soft keys, holding Home brings up recently used apps and task manager. hold the search brings up an app selection including Sound hound if you have it installed.

Does anyone know if there is a way to manually assign something to a long menu press on stock? I know you can do it with CM7, but I haven't found anything for TouchWiz.
If your phone is on and you have cwm installed you can press and hold the power and volume buttons together and it will take you straight to recovery.

I'm running cm10 and under Settings» lockscreen» Screen Security there is an option to unlock the screen using the menu key (hard key on far left). Just tried it out, works flawlessly. Unfortunately I can't help you find the app you need and flashing a rom without using the power button may be problematic. Best of luck to you!

I would love to get CM, but the only problem is that since my power button is stuck, it's gonna be a pain to flash. And, not only that, as it is right now, since my power button is stuck, I was able to put it into ODIN mode and restore to stock unrooted to take it in, but I'm afraid that I might flash, and then the power button magically un-sticks, and then I'm screwed, cause I can't unroot it. Anyways, just today and tomorrow left, so not so bad. I actually think I can take it.

Just press power and home button in the same time and hold it for 3 seconds in 4.0.4 tw roms. Simple
If you get the task manager thing, that means your doing it wrong and not pressing it in the same time.

Today I went into recovery mode to fix permissions because my phone was running funny. I used the cache wipe script and when i tried rebooting my phone it wouldn't turn on. I decided to take the battery out for a few minutes to see if that would help. It finally turned on but it is stuck on the boot animation. I have tried to get straight into recovery after trying to reboot it but it won't let me. Could someone please help me figure out what's wrong and how I can fix it?
Have you tried holding down both vol down + up and power button same time then releasing power button when the phone vibrates?

I've tried that and nothing. I can turn it on now but it gets stuck on the boot animation. I cant get into recovery.
Edit: Finally got it into recovery now I'm going to flash a backup i made yesterday. Thanks for the reply.
Hold the vol up and down with power button at the same time. Let it vibrate once and take finger off power button and once Samsung logo comes on take your fingers off the volume rocker.

Hey all I have a question about recovery on my GS2. My question is my phone wont power on due to a black screen and constant vibrating. It happened to me twice now and the first time I was able to fix it. My question is I made a recovery on my phone after I fixed it and I called t-mobile tonight and they are going to send me a replacement phone. My question is I have a backup and I was wondering if I could take that backup and restore to it on my new phone???
It SHOULD work. No guarantee though.

i think you can do a factory reset. it's in settings.
Yes, you can erase all info. Just wipe it all. Factory reset...cache....system...dalvick...etc. Your phone will be squeaky clean :fingers-crossed:
I cant power on the phone or get into recovery.
Holding power button and both up and down volume buttons don't work either? I mean hold all 3 at the same time.
