Explain. Without the working hardware key?

As long as the device will power into a state where you can use ADB, you can always use "adb reboot bootloader" and use fastboot commands to return to stock.

Because Samsung phones sometimes modify themselves with the power button delete :highfive:
I'm sure it's the same for many phones, but I know many people who have worn out the power button on Samsungs.
It just stopped working today, I think Ill just throw it at a wall and see what happens at Best Buy

Hardware failure is a good trade in reason. Unless they say otherwise. Not ROM related.

Adb reboot recovery or bootloader
Can use a toolkit if needed.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Is it "stuck" being pressed in? Happened to my nexus s and the phone was fine once on (would boot up auto when battery pulled) and no adb would work due to it thinking power was being held down.
download toolkit
install drivers ( if windows 8 disable driver signatur checking)
reboot fastboot
install stock
lock bootloader
....

This works if your USB is f*cked too.
Use bootunlocker to lock bootloader

Beamed from my Grouper.
The thing is 'adb reboot bootloader', 'chmod +x flash-all.sh', './flash-all.sh' and 'fastboot oem lock' is way easier than all that. And supported too.

Hello everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Canadian cell phone company I believe) and I am trying to bypass the gesture combination lock. It would be great to do it without resetting the phone to factory settings, but at this point I don't care... whichever way is easier will work.
I've tried:
Installed Android SDK and tried running different commands from the command prompt like "adb reboot bootloader" and "fastbootflash recovery" but the device was not found. I checked my drivers and it seemed to be there. I have the Android folder under App Data>Local and I also have a recovery image in that folder.
Booting from recovery for a facotry reset. Whenever I had the option to boot recovery it would reboot with a logo of an android with a red exclamation triangle.
If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it.
There is no good reason for trying to *bypass* gesture lock.

And let's not forget the fact that he doesn't even know what carrier he's with: "Canadian cell phone company I believe". I smell something fishy...
Anywho, there isn't a way to bypass the gesture security feature.
Sorry, I have to say this since you must be from Canada...

Its easy.
At the bottom there is an "Emergency Call" option. Dial 911 on the dialer that comes up. Tell the person who answers (they are a type of tech support) that you have this phone you cant access because it used to belong to someone else and give them your exact location.
They will promptly show up and assist you with it.

Anyway to add the hold down power button for 10 seconds and the the phone will either turn off or reboot to recovery or something?
I mean say your playing with your phone on your way home from work and your on a train/bus/walking and it gets in a boot loop and you don't want to have to take off your big 2+ layer case off because you might lose it or drop it. This is just a suggestion/question.

My Galaxy Note 2 just started acting very strange recently.
When I try turning it on, it shows a battery with a circle in the middle then turns off and keeps trying to turn back on showing the battery with the circle. I'm assuming this is low battery but its not because just a few minutes earlier it was working and had 85% battery.
I can use Vol+home and get into twrp recovery without a problem and it shows 85% battery but I don't want to reset my phone right now? Does anyone know of a solution?
Also strangely yesterday I was having trouble trying to get it to charge it took a couple of attempts at inserting the charger for it to work.
I have a SGH-I317M running Cleanrom if that matters...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried to turn it on without battery? Just pull it out then connect the mobile to a charger (or PC). If it will open up, then suspect from your battery. Otherwise, might be something different causing this. (Because battery or electricity malfunctions screwing electronic devices and set them to act bizarre, I saw that before)
I just tried that and no response whatsoever are you sure it can turn on even without the battery and just from an outlet?
I had the same problem with my Galaxy S2. I had 3 batteries and have bought 2 more....all 5 do the same thing. USB OTG stopped working at the same time, though it still connects to a PC. Also my yellow triangle disappeared at the same time when the metal connectors seperated from a USB cable and got stuck in the port. I suspect that it fried something.
I tried different ROMs before I gave up last week and bought a GN2 instead.

I just tried that, I even gave up and did a factory reset. Same result it keeps trying to turn on and then shows empty batter then turns back off and repeats that.
I also left it in the charge until it reached 100% still same problem.
Do you have a second battery? Try it with a 2nd one. If not working than return and claim warranty.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I don't have a second battery, I'm going to have a little issue if I return it because its rooted with a custom rom... Will they be able to figure that out?

I accidentally flashed a siyah kernel (v 4.0.1) intended for the Internation Galaxy SII (i9100) onto my T-Mobile Galaxy SII (SGH-T989). For some reason i overlooked "FOR i9100" and now that i've flashed it there is no sign of life.
It was rooted with the AOKP Milestone Build 6 ROM flashed and working perfectly until i flashed the kernel
No vibration when holding the Power Button, Power&Vol+&Vol-, connecting a USB Jig, a USB wall charger, nor a regular USB. It isn't recognized in ODIN nor Kies when I try these different combinations of buttons and connections.
I have it connected to the USB wall charger and letting it sit for a while, still just a black screen.
Does anyone have a solution to this predicament?

I have but I see it costs around $50 to repair it that way, and T-Mobile charges me $25 to replace the entire phone. I want to do anything possible to fix the phone i have now with my own hands and if it turns out I can't then I'll just send it to T-Mobile. :/
Ive flashed modded pit files...pits from random phones. Even flashed a d710 ROM with Odin. Flashed toro plus and maguro Odin packages to the phone and no brick.lmao! Can't seem to brick the thing.
Just don't flash or Odin a radio file that's not from your carrier. Might see how brickable these devices are. Installing the wrong radio file is the #1 way to Nuke a phone. Have fun beside that.

Unless you have a faulty eMMC, there is no way you can hard brick your gnex, at least I can't think of any ways to do it.

Hi,
I seem to have a dead galaxy nexus (I don't have its history, it just doesn't power on).
I've put a different battery (fully charged), used a jig (301k) and still it's not turning on.
Is it likely a dead board?
The jig works on another phone, as the battery.
Thanks.
