I'm stuck in a bootloop, and my home button is broken, I just need a way to get into recovery mode and i can easily fix the problem. Like i said, i can't use the hardware home button, the adb doesn't seem to recognize my phone ANY help would be much appreciated.
depends how much your home button is broken if its still in place but doesnt recognize clicks you can put some rubbing alcohol in it and click it a lot and it should work

The home buttons ribbon is completely severed. I'd rather like to avoid spending the money to buy a new one. I'm assuming the easiest way to get around it is the adb, but it won't recognize the device.

Is there a difference between the jigs? I can't seem to find one specifically for the Note 2, or does it matter?
It shouldn't matter. .I had one and jigged a handful of samsung. .none of the same one..worked in all of them lol

Alright, well it seems like a better deal than a 20 dollar part, and a hell of a lot of work to replace the home button flex ribbon, I'll give it a try. Thanks
No problem.

Task manager doesn't show anything. And hitting home doesn't bring up twlauncher
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
That is not a launcher that is clock mode. It can accidently be triggered if you have dust in the USB slot, or if your phone has had some water damage. Hitting home should get rid of it....
i believe that is the clock app, your running ics rom ?
Thanks I'll clear out the usb with some dust off... And no ics

It is in doc mode.Reset the phone by taking out the battery all will return to normal.
You can thank me.
If those don't work try wiping your ram with the task manager then pressing home or forcing another launcher on to your phone through Google play site on your comp

So i dropped my Epic 4g on the stairs, and it landed directly on the power button. The button no longer works. If someone knows how to fix this, I would LOVE details. If it is not possible, can any of the devs cook up a mod to make my phone boot as soon as the charger is connected? Any feedback is appreciated.

Do you know if its just the plastic button or is it broken more towards the motherboard? Also I'm not sure of any dev who would know how to change the power on to the charger input.

I can turn it on (oddly enough rapidly inserting and removing the power cord tricks it into turning on) and yes I can get into clockwork mod. I already user cyanogen mod 7. Where is this setting? I already changed the "volume rocker wake" setting. If there another one to remap the keys?

No I think you got the one that was in my mind. I'm on the peoples rom now so I can't really go and check to make sure but its the setting that makes the phone turn on by the volume key I'm guessing? So maybe you have the one I was thinking about? What other use do you need the power button for at the moment? Order a replacement and just flash the FC09 tar before giving it in. Say that u don't know what's wrong but it won't turn on lol.

Well if your power button doesn't work then Odin isn't a possibility. But if you can get into download mode then Odin to stock and turning it into the nearest sprint store would be your best bet....

If he could odin than he can turn on the phone hence no need for this thread but that's not the case. Honestly just go pay the money and have sprint give you another phone and say you lost it. Its the same cost even if you give them the phone I've done it before for people who wanted my epic for cricket and with the additional cash I payed for the issurance. Your paying for insurance use it.

I can deal with it until June. Then everyone on the house upgrades but me. I'll take my older sisters epic 4g and use my parents HTC EVO's as mp3 players. Or whatever the hell music format I so damn choose player as my audiophile friend refers to Android phones (he's kinda a fan). But thanks for the help guys. Looks like it's a waiting game

Quickboot from Play has a flash to recovery option.
I'm on CM10 (nightly 9/28) and recently my power button broke.
I found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27334251&postcount=6
Menu - Settings - Display - (scroll down to Wakeup Options and check Volume rocker wake)... but it doesn't wake it from a deep sleep. Anyone have any ideas?
Slide the keyboard open and close it. That should turn the screen on

So my power button is broken and i'm on the official T-Mobile Jellybean release. I was wondering if there was some code I could put in build.prop that could enable the volume rocker wake until I send it into Samsung for repair. I exhausted every resource and read many forums but I couldn't find anything. If anyone could help me or even point me in the right direction it'll be really appreciated!
Thanks a lot!

what u need is button remapping.
depending on model of your phone, u can find out hard button mapping, then using adb u can assign the change.
i know it's possible, i did it on a old captivate once. Will go thru my notes.....
hit thanks now or late
Hmm sounds hard but i'll try googling it. Thanks!

I had the power button issue too. I sent it to a third party place to get the button replaced. My phone is working like a charm now.
It seems the gs2's had this issue on a few of them. The button seems to get stuck and the phone keeps on rebooting.
Cost me 40 bucks to get it fixed. Well, plus shipping.
Here is the link to the place I used.

Try fixing it yourself
there are excellent step by step videos on youtube
teaches you exactly how to replace all parts
I have seen the videos seems simple
just order the button assembly online
save yourself some big buks
you can probably fix it faster yourself this way too...
All right. I just received a Samsung Galaxy S2 T-Mobile (White) from a friend.
It doesn't boot up to the Stock Android. It's not rooted it's completely stock.
When you start it up it just goes to the Samsung Logo Screen then into a Samsung Android 4G screen in which the loading bar gets a lil over halfway and it just turns off and restarts the process. I'm not sure whether it's the power button issue i've been seeing in the past. Or if it's something wrong with the motherboard power button area.
I am also providing a video I recorded just to see what happens when I put the battery inside an then press the power button.
I was wondering if anyone could give me any things to try to fix it or a possible solution as I would like to fix this issue and root the phone.

Youtube of putting battery in and powering up.. An how the boot goes.
Is it constantly vibrating in your hand as it reboots? If so then most likely it's the power button
You could try circling around the power button with a pin. Blow it out then hit it with an eraser (or any large rubber item). That worked for me,

Worst case scenario: broken s-pen digitizer. Best case scenario: software bug.
Did it always behave this way? Have you tried using different s-pens?
No it was fine since 2 weeks back it started like this. I tried other s-pen its working perfect and this s pen in that cell...messes up that too. But if its broken how did it happen? My cell never fell...so as s pen.

Check if the nib of the pen (the small white part at the end) can be pushed inside. If it can't be pushed, pull it out gently. There should always be some play in the nib to allow for pressure variations. Had the same problem. Worked like a charm for me.
