Pull the battery, and put it back in.
Hold Volume Down, Home (Center button) and while still holding them press and hold power.
Does it go back to the screen you're showing, or does it go into download mode?

open Odin3 (you must open odin3 before you start or it won't flash)
Put the battery in.
Plug in USB. (the phone will power on and goto the phone+!+computer screen)
Hold down both Volume buttons, and then push and hold the power button. Hold all three and do NOT let go!
Wait for it to go black and return to the phone+!+computer screen.
When it goes black the 2nd time release the power button and keep holding the volume buttons.
You should now be in download mode, click start on Odin, wait for it to finish and start enjoying your phone again!

Disregard Shep211's message, These are NOT the instructions for the Galaxy S I9000/I9000M.
They are for the T-Mobile Vibrant and At&t/Rogers Captivate.

Crap this is I9000 forum. Sorry I thought I was looking in captivate forum. My post works for my captivate with I9000 rom but it may be different since my phone is a captivate.

I had the same problem with one that wouldn't go into download mode. I had to just return it for another phone. Nothing I could do would get it into download mode.

so there is no other option??!
the problem is my phone is from britain. and i'm currentley in another country! and I don't think I could return the phone to any samsung store here because the phone isn't avialable here at the moment.

Since your phone is from UK, I am pretty sure it has the 3 buttom Recovery and Download mode active. Therefore, have a look at the following post and follow the 1st method exactly as mentioned there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7152078&postcount=2
If everything goes fine, your phone should be running fine soon

Pull your battery out, leave it out for a while ( 10 mins tops ) then put it back in, hold HOME + VOL DOWN then press Power until the screen comes on, keep holding the other two buttons and see what happens.
You shouldn't be getting that same screen over.
You may have to try Kies to get it to work again.

You rickroll'd me!!

HI,
I have the same problem..Have u fixed the phone or what happend? Anyone got any ideas what to do now ;P

I think I had that problem a while ago, but it was when flashing JM2. I tried different combinations of starting with volume down + home. Try taking out the battery and hold down vol down + home and putting in the battery again.

Miui caused a major brick

Hi, I own a Galaxy S2 SGH T989 and I wanted to get the H1ve theme, so of course, I got miui. Right after I flashed it, I kept getting complaints about applications crashing, as well as the ics keyboard. Now, my phone won't even turn on. I've tried all ways I know to reboot (power button, volume and power, battery out and in, and all of that in the charger) and nothing works. Does anyone out there know how to turn on the phone. I just want to be able to factory reset on it. Also, when I try to enter download mode, the computer makes weird sounds at regular intervals while I hold down the phone keys.

ODIN flash back to stock. Make sure you have a battery while you're going into Download mode.

Are you doing the correct key combos for dl mode, vol down and power for 3 seconds then release the power button and keep holding vol down

Did you make a nandroid backup before u flashed viper one? If u did enter recovery by rebooting holding down vol down and restore your backup. Or flash your carriers stock firmware. Check the back to stock thread for info on that.
If that doesn't work it's a hardware issue and you should check your warranty and get a replacement.

Thank you guys for the help and for everyone coming together to come up with solution it is deeply appropriated my M8 was finally able to boot it up I plugged phone on the charger and directly to the power outlet on the wall and hold the volume up + volume down + power bottom all 3 keys at same time for 20 minutes and released all key at the same and left phone on charger over night for 24hrs and phone was able to boot up

I think you only need to hold Vol Up + Power for a few seconds and it should reboot.
Mine did the same thing once and that's how I got it to restart.

True. Power + Vol Up is a reboot, basically a simulated battery pull (for phones that have a removable battery.
Power + Vol Down boots into bootloader.
Power + Vol Up + Vol Down is not any button combo on this device, that I know of. This is perhaps a button combo for another device? Care should be taken to only do known button combos. Although I don't think there is any "harmful" button combo on the M8; on my old One X (EVITA) folks would mistakenly do Power + Vol Up to go into bootloader (correct combo is Power+ Vol down) which erased the ROM and sent the phone into Qualcomm download mode, which would probably give you a heart attack!

[Q] Sumsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (SM-T805) screen went black

My tablet Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (SM-T805) screen went black. I can’t see the screen.
Touch also does not seem to work. However it’s on. it is receiving calls and other messages. It is connected to WiFi.
Power button, volume button are working but I can’t power off the device cause I can’t see the screen options.
When I plug in to the charging cable it vibrates but does not show anything on screen.
It didn’t drop and hit by anything…i have been using it for 3 months now. it just happened by itself or may be by some update that I don’t know.
Please help how to bring it back to life

Are you able to get into download or recovery? I've never heard of something like this before. Maybe go ahead and let it die and then plug it back in and see if you can get into download mode by holding home+power+volume down then re flash your stock firmware or whatever you were using. Or do home+power+volume up to get into recovery. If you still have stock recovery then you can just do a factory reset right from that but if your using something TWRP then your still going to need to flash something after wiping your data.
Not sure how else you can get it to shut off since you can't see it. Even knowing where the power menu is once you press the button it would still be tough to hit the right thing. I'd say let it die. Maybe someone else can come shed some light. Of course it could be a hardware problem as well. I'm leaning toward software still though.
If your still completely stock I'd say let it die and get into stock recovery. Home+power+volume up and then wipe data and do a factory reset. Now if the screen stays black after its off and you've plugged in the charging cable then I'd imagine there's a more a serious problem going on.

Yes I am waiting for battery to be completely drained out. I will try your method once the battery is completely dead.
thanks

Your welcome let me know how it goes. Will do my best to help.

I don't have my tab with me right now but can't you hold power button for 10 sec to force a reboot? All Android device I ever had could do that.

Doest work on t805 holding powerbutton, just hold the buttons for download mode and that will force it to reset and prompt you to press volume down to cancel volume up to continue...hold for 30 seconds, and if nothing appears let go and just press volume up once, still no joy then pop back cover off and unclip and reclip battery if your brave, thats what i did before i new about this quicker way.

How to run the battery completely down..? its still active and on... though not showing anything on screen.
Is there any quicker way... ?

To do a hard-reset on these Samsung devices, you need to hold Power + Home + Volume Down until it reboots. On every other device it's just Power. Some it's Power+Home. For some reason Samsung likes to be different.
Or if you have previously enabled USB Debugging, you can plug it in to your computer and do an ADB Reboot.

Power + volume down + volume up works for me as reset.

[Q] Production Build ROOT Help

I bought the LG e980 from a guy on Craigslist. He worked for ATT and won some sort of sales contest and had the phone shipped to him from the factory. It has worked great for the year I have owned it; I love the phone. I would like to have updated Android, but I use the phone on T-mobile, so no updates for me. I tried to root, but am having no luck. Keeps saying something about "production build". The software version is e98010p. I rooted my table 2-3 years ago, and can't remember too much about the process. Any help would be great!!!

Recovery Mode
I can't seem to get it to book into recovery mode. I have tried volume up + power, both volume keys + power, home + power, quick button + power....and I get nothing. The only thing I get is with volume down + power, which is "factory wipe, push power to confirm, or any other button to cancel".

Take battery out. Wait 5 secs. Putt battery back in. Hold down volume up button. Keep holding down volume up button while you also hold down power button. Wait to see flashing led indicators at bottom and LG logo. Let go of power button while still holding down volume up button.

Didn't work
Well, I tried it several times and it didn't work for me. Any other suggestions?
