Hey guys i am new at this forum. And i came here for a reason. Because maybe you guys can solve my problem. ok so 2 days ago i got a awesome cyanogenmod9 on my samsung gio device. But then i saw a topic about google now. I did the instructions and my samsung viewed black screen. I thought never mind i still can fix it. So yesterday i was flasing the tar file with the one package option from ODIN. It was then i saw a big green PASS!. But then it stayed on closing usb port and rebooting. i had set it on auto-rebooting/ but then i put the cable out and then the thing wont turn on. So guys please help here is some information:
Odin 4.42
Tricks that didnt worked:
3 button combination
Battery out and battery in.
And when i charge the phone the phone gets very hot. so its charging only i see nothing. And when i plug my phone into my usb ODIN recognizes my device. but later it stays on server connection...

It's not download mode, it's recovery. You hold two keys, not three

Hi,
yesterday i got my sgs and first i wanted to update it to JM5.
Because 3 of my friends have the same phone i know what to do.
First i tried to get into download mode but it doesn´t work.
I found here in the forum (thread 749470) "Australia Optus Galaxy S no download mode!" that i´m not the only one with this problem.
Someone told me to use "adb reboot download" to enter download mode - and this worked fine. The working android appeared on the screen.
Odin now found the phone and i tried to flash but it always ended with "file analysis....". So I found help in this forum - restart pc, start odin as admin, use another firmware, try other usb port - nothing happened - last thing: remove the battery for 30sec and try again.
NOW: SGS alway shows the same pic: a phone + ! + PC - but PC can´t find phone, phone can´t be switched off - nothing!
What can I do now except taking the phone back to my dealer?
I appended a pic from my display.
Thanks for your help!

if you can not get into download mode, then there is no way to fix it
you'll have to send it back to the store, to have it repaired
hmm, you can press at least the power button for 7-10 seconds, then the phone reboots, mybe you are able to go into download or recovery mode, with those button combinations.
but isn't that icon his screen shows, meant to connect the phone to pc and start kies so kies can fix it? (at least i read sth like that on forum) but if this all doesn'T work i don't know
You can always switch the phone off, pull the battery out. ( Avoid doing so when flashing though. )

This guide is really not all that useful.
Take out the battery, and reboot by first pressing voldown+home and then power and wait until you see the yellow download screen.
I'd recommend not doing anything with a phone that you can't get into download mode from a cold start with. Too much can go wrong. Leave it on stock.
I remember seeing that screen when I thought I had bricked my phone, I think I managed to pull back by removing the battery and trying again.

that is only because your 3 button combination was working
in his case, his 3 buttons are not working
there is a batch of samsung phones that came from factory with the 3 button combo disabled
Having the same issue. Think the stores will replace it under warranty like this?
(I did the international root version first time. ANY HELP?)
I tried this rooting thing of putting ics on my phone and went into download mode on my Samsung Galaxy s2 from T MOBILE and the write failed on Odin. So I unplugged and restarted my phone and it was stuck at the Upgrade problem encountered on my phone. So I plugged my phone back in again and tried it again and it failed yet again.
I unplugged my phone. Turned it off.
When I turned it back on, or at least tried. It wouldn't. It won't turn on now and is completely blank. It still won't turn on.
I have tried:
Soft reset
Removing battery for ten minutes.
Booting into recovery mode.
NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.
Please help!!!!! This was my first time to root and it went for the worst. This was my christmas present
If you can still get into download mode, you are fine.
Odin CW recovery and flash a compatible rom.
There is no ICS for the T-mobile version of the SGS2.
Look here.

[HOWTO] ROOT T-Mobile SGSII via ODIN -- Updated Recovery
Open Odin on your PC.
To get back into download mode pull the battery, insert the battery, press and hold Vol up and Vol down, plug USB cable into phone. Do not press the power button.
ICS is not available for the tmo sg 2 yet so you'll be waiting like everyone else. There are a few Nice ROMs in the dev section though.
If you still can't get into download mode then warranty exchange, jigging, or paperweight are your only options. Good luck.

I was useing ParadoxII for my phone for 4 months. I was listening to music and one day it stoped working.
The other day it was in infinite bootloop and i got it out! however its back to the same thing....
Here the problem.
phone without sim or Sd i insert battery. it will try to load up quarter way to boot up it will vibrate and turn off.
Then if i try to get into recovery mode (hit threee buttons then let go of power) it may or may not get in... once i am in.. if i dont act fast it will shut off. or if i try to select wipe cache( it might not send the command and shut off)
Ill try to get into download mode. and it will guess what?? shut off and start to vibrate and then vibrate and vibrate
any suggestions?

Stuck power button
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Stuck power button -_-
you just tried me sir.....
no disrespect but...
that means you think im stupid enough to not know if my power button is broken..... -_-
I FIXED IT YALL!!!! freeking hours upon hours were spent here
ill tell you how i fixed it...
well first i read something about a JIG... a usb jig that makes the phone do directly into download mode....
and i was thinking... hmmm i think iv seen this before automatic download mode...
ah ha! i know i have this thick LG micro usb cable that for some reason if i have low battery it makes it go into download mode..
So... while it was pluged into the wall outlet with ebay battery charger/ usb power outlet and sliped the battery in right quick.
So the cable hooked up to power outlet put in first and quickly the battery is slipped in to make it go into download mode..
however... i only get like 2 seconds before it will shut offf...
so... i turned on odin on my pc and used that cable from my pc. and then hooked up phone to pc via that LG micro usb cable and sliped in the battery fast! then it was in download mode and then i clikced start on the odin ( file preselected) then it will fail and some stuff willbe messed up on the phone and then you can try it again. however this time instead of a download screen its a this phone has problems with recovery and then connect to kies screen.
then use odin while on that screen and proceede.
and boom pass!
however when i put on stock tmobile ics.. my calling wasnt working... WTF!
so i had to put on CWM recover back on the phone via odin..
then i used the backup file i previously made...
Im un bricked!
YES YALL! im unbricked and if this **** bricks again its going on craigs list bc i know it will last a few days before it bricks again
thank you anyways xda.... im not high tech if you cant tell but i can put clues together..
boot loop problem was but no more
Hay had the same darn problem I fixed it by doing hard reset(volume down,menu button, and power button released on first vibration)
Then I went into cwm and went to advanced menu and mounted all but external sd and formatted each one.
Then reflashed stock 2.3.6 GB ROM. Fixed in about 30 min. My phons has not bricked again yay for me
My devices
Cricket zio running bare bones
Samsung galaxy II running rebelrom
T mobile sgs II running stock root 2.3.6
Because I have not found a ROM I like yet!!
Reformatting worked for me

Success!
My bootloop was caused by a bad CWM factory reset or cache wipe with CWM version 6.0.1.9. Nandroid restore from version 6.0.1.9 was of no help as it failed on the MD5 checksum. Odin flashed older CWM, version 5.0.2.6. In CWM version 5.x, reformatting as laniclamoore suggested and restoring nandroid worked for me.
After getting the boot loop solved, I ran DARKSIDE's cache wipe to fix the shutdown hang on pink splash screen 'Goodbye!'. Hang at shutdown was a separate problem caused by CWM version 5.0.2.6.
Lessons learned: CWM sometimes breaks stuff. Good to keep old version of CWM the ones that correspond to the nandroid.
What a pain but it is great to have the Android community to help.
@laniclamoore, Thanks a bunch. I thought my S II was going to be permanently boot looping paperweight.
On T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S II, stock root ICS ROM, 4.0.3.
FIXED: Vibrating Problem on Power Switch onSamsung Galaxy S2 (SGH-T989)
I had the similar problem with my SGH-T989. Searched the web and tried a few feasible solutions, but to no avail. Until NOW: Please follow the YouTube link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqBgbN8NLjI) which provides a FIX to the Power Switch.
It WORKED for me, hope it works for you too.
Cheers
I have a Samsung W which is not rooted, with Stock Rom as i bought it. Everything was ok until yesterday. I put it in my pocket and the phone was Suddenly turned off. Since then the phone won't turn on except that the screen sometimes flashes when pushing numerous times the power button.
When i press the Vol+ + Center Button + Power Button to enter Recovery mode nothing happens.
I will charge it overnight to see if something changes tomorrow.
Need Help please!
Finally Turned it on, But Samsung Kies and ODIN seem not to working at all. Samsung Kies stacks at "Connectind" & ODIN detecs the phone successfully, but when the phone restarts it won't turn on, i have to remove battery and Open it in Download mode again.
Try to enter download mode press vol down + home+ power button if you can enter download mode flash it with odin
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda app-developers app
maybe the power button has the problem.
I disassembled the phone and the power button is working fine. I can't enter Dwonload Mode. the phone won't turn on at all :/
Since it is not flashed / rooted & with stock rom, just sent in to a service center, it's the safest thing to do right now i think.
After that you can do with it what you want
Hello! I cant sent it to a service center as it has a big mark on the top of it and they will ask me to pay in order to fix it. I finally Managed to Turn it on in DOWNLOAD MODE. I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467128 this thread with ODIN and Samsung KIES. Samsung KIES stacks at "Connecting". ODIN detects the phone, downloads data , but when the phone restarts is dead. I have to remove battery and turn it on in Downloading Mode

What 'big mark' making it cannot be sent back to Samsung lol? Maybe you should install CWM and do a full wipe first before you flashed the ROM with Odin (anyway sending it back to Samsung will still be the best solution as you may accidentally void the warranty when you are trying to fix it)
Well, i believe for ODIN to work first u have to kill Kies Process using the Task manager or you will get some conflict between the two.
Also, if your phone has a scratch on top of it, then your fine. However, if it has a big DENT or if it is broken somewhere, then they will probably assume it was a problem due to a fall or something. However you can always try and send it to the service center and they will probably sort it out or replace your phone as a last resort (even if it has a scratch on it xD).

What did you do to get your Galaxy W started?
here the deal
had stock rom on my 10.5 T-800
decided to root used Odin 3.09 and CF_AutoRoot_Port_T800_BeansTown106.tar to root
than download flashily (sp) and installed trwt newest one and flashed Blisspop 2.0 and Gapps 5.0.1 and Super Su 2.46
than after I went in to recovery and followed all the directions booted up logged on no issues
but today I was reading and decided I wanted to flash cm-12-20150203-UNOFFICIAL-nvertigo-chagallwifi
battery level was about 85% when I was hook up and transfer the cm-12-20150203-UNOFFICIAL-nvertigo-chagallwifi to my external SD
for some reason I went to download mode not recovery mode by the 3 button combo
so I tried to exit by holding the power button to no avail.
so I entered Odin and thought maybe just to run root again so it would let me exit Odin mode
after it flashed it exited and showed the red android and rebooted and went to a black screen as if it was going to boot back up and now I have nothing
I tried to turn it back on wont turn on
I tried the 3 button combo and then hitting up don't work
I plug it in to the computer and the computer make the connection sound but no icon for it
opened Odin and it shows green but wont do anything
is there something I can do beside sending it out to get repaired
thanks in advance

Try to use resistor JIG 301kom for correctly start Download mode and to flash official Rom through Odin. Here you will find details how to do it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2999838
It also helps you get the picture Download mode and process flashing on the screen of your Tab.
Regards
All you need do is press power + vol down and hold until the tab restarts. This is a hard reset and always works unless it's a hard brick.
You have only soft bricked.
As soon as it restarts try to enter recovery or download mode.

Sounds like you don't have a custom recovery on your Tab S. You can flash TWRP recovery in Odin and see if that helps.

Also you can try to use KIES 3 for restoration of your Tab. To do this, you should take only Download mode in your Tab. For this case I recommend to you to restore only original firmware according to the name of model and serial number of your Tab. Here you will find details how to do it:

Did you flash the TWRP tar file in downloadmode using Odin?
FIXED THANKS all for the help
Finally got it working
I tried to Odin TWRP and it didn't work I used the TAR file
I was able to DL the sammobile file for the Stock rom
Odin Flashed it first time it still had to use hard reset so I flashed it again after reboot it got stuck on Samsung splash Screen
did a 3 button to recovery wiped Cashes and factory reset then rebooted it again got stuck on Splash screen let it sit for over a hour (I had PT in the morning) and when I came back it was at the Samsung Master reset screen (initial start up)
than I rerooted, flashed and installed the ROM
Thanks again for all the help and being patient with me
:good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
Glad to hear that everything worked out for you. I was freaking out yesterday because I was just trying to run the auto root for my device and couldn't understand why odin refused to flash it. I ended up in adb sideload mode and thought it had locked up because I could not reset it at all. Luckily I did some searching on here and found out that holding power + home + vol up+ vol down would reboot it out of that mode.
Then I found out that while my adb drivers were installed properly for the device, they were not correct in download mode which was why odin didn't find my device. If I only would have checked device manager to see the big fat yellow ! It would have been clear but yes I am just a noob lol.
