Yea that did work for the GS3 no matter what the phone was under. Frozen, Aroma Freeze, Recovery, App crashes. No matter what on the GS3 if you held the power button down it would reboot the phone. If you were in recovery and it froze during an installation all you had to do was hold the power down and it would just reboot back to the recovery. But on this phone for some reason or another you cant.
Sick of this community, no matter what someone has to bash on someone else's queston. Peoples internet mentality is just rude plain and simple.
Hopefully I answered you, I still have not been able to locate which combinations of buttons that allows us to, but if I do i'll PM you just incase someone else's butt gets hurt.

Hello,
Today when I restarted my phone, it got stuck on the "Goodbye" screen for longer than normal, then flashed the camera 3 times before shutting off. What is going on? Anyone have a similar issue? I am on stock, rooted.
Thanks

It may be an android thing. I remember my HD2 used to do this from time to time. I never found out why it does that though...
This happens to me quite often. Sometimes it just stay lit until the phone is completely off. It's just weird

Is it really worth it to replace my phone for this? It has only happened once over 5 months. How much did it happen to you? Does it signal something wrong with the phone if it has just happened once?
If it doesn't mean that something is wrong with my phone, I wouldn't really want to go through the hassle of a return :\
It happens to me and my brother randomly. Not a big deal

Anyone can replicate this. While your phone is on, hold power/Vol up/Vol down all at the same time for about 10 seconds. That forces a reboot and your camera will flash until you let go.

Well. .
My phone flashes once (quickly) when it shuts off with no battery. It doesn't happen to me anytime I shut it off or restart it.
I cannot turn on my phone at all, the Samsung logo comes up, screen blacks out and the phone just vibrates once every couple of seconds. If I'm lucky the phone will sometimes boot up but freezes and turns back off. It's nearly impossible for me to boot into recovery and do anything as the phone shuts off seconds later. Anyone have any advice, I've looked all over and only found one other person with this problem and no fix
Are you doing the combo correctly, release power after vibrate continue holding volume keys? Did you drop the phone causing this? Try pulling battery first then try recovery

yeah, that thread had helpful info. i tried the one guy's suggestion of gently working a tiny flat-head screwdriver around the power button, and it fixed my issue.
hopefully it won't come back too often, but at least i know what it is (faulty power button) and can send it in for repairs if need be. at this point, i'm just relieved i have another chance to backup my data!
well, the issue came back, and working a screw driver around the button isn't solving the problem. it'll go away for a very short period of time, and then come back.
more recently, i've started losing settings for open apps when the phone reboots randomly. freaking awesome. just lost my handcent settings, and can't figure out where the config file/db is so i can restore it from a backup. looks like i'll have to spend another hour or more fully customizing the blasted thing again.
Its gotta be a bad motherboard I had same issue and Samsung warranty it out and fixed it for free or you can find em on eBay i just bought a used one for 90 and works perfect

Power button could be stuck again. I fixed mine my flicking it with my finger every second and finally my phone would start up again. Guess screw driver would have been easier, haha. Would work for a month then the same issue would start again. Do you happen to use a D30 case?

You really didn't understand the question lol. it has nothing to do with the software the phone. His home button sticks when you press is it down, but only when you press it on the right hand side of the home button. And to the OP if that was my phone I would exchange it, as long as you didn't spill anything on it then it's a manufacture defect that would irritate the hell outta me.

Yes, I too hard bricked my t999 but funny thing is I've didn't flash any roms.

When I tried to restart my phone to recovery mode the phone just turned off and never turn on again. Someone please help me. I don't really have time to send my phone to Texas, does anyone know any other ways to fix this? Is there service around NJ or Philly area?

so it seems that the common issue here is that u both downloaded MIUI from the same wepage... I would think a malicious download... and in all Honesty I had bad experiences the guy's tut.... (with the guy running the site) I dunno I dont want to point finger or nothing but 2 people with same problem?? I suspect treachery afoot... lol
scratch that... I scanned MIUI Zip file and it contained no threats... so I'm guessing a hardware mulfuction?? or simply u got a bad phone.
Try Samsung warranty since you can't get into download mode they shouldn't know it's rooted. I wouldn't say this is a user error since you didn't even flash a rom

Dont you have regular tmobile warranty? the phone wont power on, no water damage, sounds like a clear cut case of getting your phone swapped out for you.
Okay, So I bought a used Note 2 off of Craigslist. Before I bought it I used it, checked the settings, it was 4.2.1 had multiwindow and so I thought, let me check my SIM card. I put my SIM card in and let the phone boot up. I saw the 4G LTE and I thought I was good. When it came to price I haggled a little but I told the seller how much I was willing to pay before he agreed to meet. Anyways, he seemed sore but took the deal. I get in my truck and leave. I go to unlock the phone and it has a passcode. I call the guy, no answer. I got a text back stating sorry. So because he felt ripped off I can't get in to the phone. Any suggestions?

Shut phone down. Then hold volume up + home button + power button until you get to the recovery screen. Then select factory reset using the volume rocker and power button. Reboot and you should be good to go.

Well the phone is registered to me now, according to AT&T. Hopefully he can't report it stolen now. I also meant 4.1.2, my mistake. Only thing is, before I spoke to AT&T I rooted it via odin. Now I can't get the latest update the phone keeps telling me about from AT&T. Is it important?
