I really have no idea, and I dont want to pin it to the "magic button" but what I did was
take the battery and sd card out and press the "button" under the battery cover for like a minute. And then hold the power button and 1 both while I plugged in the charger *without battery in* then, bam! Dowload mode!
Oh and before pressing the "magic button" I had tried tis method without it, and it didn't work, but I'm skeptical as to this button so maybe it was just coincidence.

**Edit**
okay so now i odin'd a fresh EC05 install and still no samsung splash screen and i still cant turn it on normally on can get into download mode and turn on with method posted below. does someone think doing a bootloader update with odin will help it? if so can someone provide me the file name required in an odin tar to be able to check the " update bootloader" option?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all backgroun info, I recently odin'd Stock EC05 selected repartition with the pit and auto reboot nothing else and it passed like normal, then I booted it up, selected debugging, and one click root, now I noticed the once click root took longer than usual this time but It finished and rebooted like normal.
Okay now here's the issue I'm curently running my phone, everything is fine... except for one small thing I can't turn it on! no button combination works when its off the only way I can get it to turn on is by
1st plugging in charger without battery
2nd replacing battery with charger plugged in
3rd waiting until charging screen comes on(and It only comes on with this method)
4th turing it on normally with power button.
and once this is finished it turns on, but I can't get into downlod mode or recovery this way, and what I didn't notice at first boot was that the "samsung" screen at start up didn't show up.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I can't do much right now, and I'm afraid I can't get into download mode.

Sure sounds like a bad flash. Seems like the bootloader is wonky. Since you repartitioned, are you sure you used the right PIT?
For stock EC05 I've always had the best results by using the old official Samsung EB13 installer they had on their website for a while, then letting EC05 download OTA and install itself. Once that is done you can use one click to root.
I know the EB13 tool is around the forum somewhere, just don't know where!
Edit....just realized you said you can't get into download mode. Hmmm...... guess my comments won't help much then. Sorry

Thanks for the input, Hm next time ill keep that in mind then, let's hope there's a next time.
Yeah I don't know how I can get into download mode. I was going to try the acs updater t install a recovery and kernel would that work? Or would it still need acess to a recovery to install them? And yeah I used the right pit, if I didn't id be sitting here with a nice permabricked phone, since I hit repartition.

Any help you guys can offer me?
Is there a way to use odin without going into download mode?
Maybe replace the zImage file written to phone with one click root, with another full recovery?
I can use usb debugging if that's hepfull at all

Hello, everyone, I have a problem with my phone.
Before the problem, I was rooted without any custom roms. I have never installed any custom roms on my phone. I have always been stock, but rooted.
This morning, T Mobile pushed an updated to my phone. I did some research (not sure if I did enough) and apparently it was the UVLDE update. So I clicked it, phone restarted in 5 seconds, and restarted in clockwork mod, I believe. It was the screen that allows me to reboot along with some other options and is navigated by pressing up and down on the volume buttons.
I pressed reboot phone and the phone rebooted and worked normally throughout the day.
Now, I wake up (and I am not sure what happened, maybe I accidentally turned the phone off in my sleep) and I attempt to turn the phone on and it vibrates consecutively, on and off, and sometimes the screen blinks.
Is there any way I can fix this issue?
Thanks for your time. I performed a search, but I couldn't find the issue or I couldn't find any keywords.

Thanks. I'll remember that for the future.
I don't know if it's a brick or not. I haven't tried anything fancy yet. I'm looking for assistance before I go any further, if there is any further place to go.

If you have clockwork mod on your phone and you can get to the clockwork mod menu, go to mounts and storage and plug your phone into your computer and click mount usb storage and copy this rom to your phone.
http://theunlockr.com/2011/11/29/how-to-unroot-the-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-t-mobile-version/
Then go to install zip from sd card and pick the one you just copied to your phone. It'll put you back on stock 2.3.5 hopefully that will work and if it does you will have to re root your device because this zip puts your phone to completely stock and removes the root. Hopefully this works for you it has for me in the past good luck.

Update.
I plugged it in to my computer via the USB.
Apparently, the computer can't recognize itbecause the device has malfunctioned (not sure how accurate that is), but the phone has turned on and I can use it.
I know the problem still, exists, so should I still follow your advice, JPOKeefe's, and go completely back to normal after erasing everything? I have no problem doing that to save my phone.
Modification:
Maybe the battery was just dead... which is why it's 0 % charged and it won't turn on after it was working perfectly before I slept.
If that is the case, then I am prepared to defend my intelligence! I guess it's just some paranoia from the update this morning that didn't actually go through.

Honestly you don't NEED to do it but if your phone is messing up and wont boot maybe you should go back to stock and re root when you read and learn more and feel more comfortable having a root.
Thanks for you quick replies.
I ninja edited my post, by the way. I'll give it a moment to charge and see what happens.
The phone was acting slightly stupid this morning after I attempted that update, so I guess I had to be sure it wasn't something drastic.
I have been comfortable with the root I had. If this phone bricks or blows up, then I have an excuse to get a GS3. Because, you know, I might as well. =p

hi, i've my samsung GIO rooted, and a cm7.2 rom running, but yesterday i got a error message in android, that the proces "android" stuck.
my phone didnt response on anything, so i take my battery out, and my phone turned off, and u put my battery back.
but my phone didnt start, i've tried many things:
charge , didnt charge, the led dont light up
take simcard and SD out, no effect, still no response
tried to start in recovery, no response
take battery out for 1 hour, and put back in, no response
put a gio battery in from a friend, no response
so my phone does nothing, no startup, no recovery menu, my charge light dont shine.
is this a hard brick?
can i solve this with a usb JIG?
can i solve this with odin?
i dont think odin or JIG will work, cause my charge light dont blink, so i guess my phone dont see the JIG.
i hope you can help me.

yup u got hardbrick. you gotta go to service center and say that u were upgrading with kies and this happen. dont tell about root or cwm or custom rom. though ur not giving us full information what u did that made this happen
thank you for your fast response.
i really dont know why i got this brick. it's the phone of my brother, and i've rooted + installed cm7.2 for him.
and he said:
i was watching a youtube movie, when i get a error message: "android process stuck".
and his phone didnt response so he put out the battery and placed it back, and then he got the hard brick.
JIGG, or jtagbox dont fix my brick?
i hope my brother has warranty.
If your phone does not respond at all, it's hardbricked.
Only solution is to take it to the service center...

my phone did nothing, no boot screen, no download mode, no recovery, no power light.
but my brother put his battery inside today, and the gio starts in download mode.
so im now looking on the internet for a good odin tutorial, so i can clean the phone, and flash a rom.
btw, most times i cant start the phone, neither in download mode, but sometimes, when de phone has been turned of for a few hours, it starts in download mode (not in normal mode, only download mode).
i let you know when im having succes with odin.

Before you do that remember that you need to have at least haft of the battery charged. Find a way to do that. Gio's battery fits to Galaxy Ace, maybe you find one to charge the battery. Good luck! :good:

tnx for saying, but my dad has a gio to, so that isnt the problem. tnx
my gio also got hardbricked and i brought it to warranty telling them that i was upgrading trough kies and in less then 1 week it was repaired
my brothers gio is working now .
my brother told me that his gio did nothing, but now i've tried it by myself
and the fact was that my brother didnt know the key combination to get in download mode. -_-
and the battery was empty, so he was right the phone did nothing -_-
after charge the battery i've flashed giopro, and then flashed jellybread 2.5 throught recovery.

Bleh just got my Optimus yesterday, came stock with zv9. Decided to root today and had no trouble, flashed TWRP recovery using FreeGee then updated to the newest TWRP version using GooManager. Made a backup using TWRP then used GooManager to download Lifeless ROM. Just downloaded, didn't flash. After the download was done I shut off my Optimus but when I went to restart it, it powered on, showed the LG logo for half a second then just went to a black screen. Can't boot to recovery. Whenever I try and turn the phone off it just restarts again showing the logo for brief period of time then black. Any ideas? It's gotta be bricked but I just don't understand how or why. Probably going to try and take the battery out and see what happens.

okay well your not bricked if you can get even a little life like an LG screen. hook phone up to computer and use adb to get into bootloader and try to reflash the recovery img again. it just sounds like you need to reflash your recovery. thats why it didnt flash. lemme know. ill keep checking back on the thread for awhile

Okay perfect I appreciate it. Downloading SDK right now, I'm away from my desktop and didn't have it on my lappy. LG has a program similar to ODIN too right? Would that maybe work as well?
You would need LGNPST. you can find it in the IRC if you can get to download mode you can flash back to stock and start over.

Just because the screen doesn't come on don't think the phone is off. Plug that sucker in. If you see the logo you should be able to get in download mode. Also, if the phone is on, you will eventually see some green android screen.
The same thing happened to my phone once. I only know of one way to hard brick this phone. I am not telling anyone how. But, I doubt you did that. It isn't something you would accidentally do.

It's on but it just shows a flat black screen. No matter how long it is on it doesn't get passed that. Also, when it's plugged in there aren't any charging lights. Not sure what to do since adb doesn't recognize it.

You are going to have to pull the battery.
I have spent the last 3 days searching XDA & trying every possible fix, no luck!
Here's my dilemma.....
I have custom recovery, TWRP 2.6.3.3, don't know what I did after trying to flash something........ I wiped everything except SDcard by accident. Like a darn fool, forgot after backing up everything via computer, to put a spares on my SDcard. Sooooo, I tried restoring by using LG FlashTool..... Here's where my problems began:
1. I can't load into download mode, it sticks at the logo to enter download mode but doesn't connect.
2. I tried ADB Sideload, sticks at "STARTING ADB SIDELOAD FEATURE.........."
3. No matter what mode (including Fastboot) I try, just won't connect to my computer the way I need it to. (*ALL DRIVERS HAVE BEEN REINSTALLED NUMEROUS TIMES, STILL NO LUCK.*) When I look in DEVICE MANAGER, it shows in "OTHER DEVICES" as "LG-LS980" (*Which is a good thing right? *)
At this point i'm at my wits end...... I tried to HARD FACTORY RESET, but didn't go thru. I'm afraid that if I tried it again, I could cause even more damage.
I've been without my phone for days & I'm about to go crazy if I have to pay LG or Sprint again for another phone!!!! I'd rather use my $600 on something else.
PLEASE TELL ME SOMEONE HAS FOUND A WAY TO GET AROUND THIS!
I've searched just about every forum & tried different methods.
Forgot to add that every time I power off from recovery, I get a the message about my device not being rooted, would I like to install..... When I swipe to install, nothing happens. Just powers off.

So try this...
Push the power button to turn the device on. Let it sit.
After you know that the g2 is on and trying to do its think, Press and hold power buttton, do not let go. It will force turn off the phone, but it will start to turn back on, if you keep holding the power button till it shuts off for the second time, you'll be set and the device will be fully off.
Have Lg Flash Tool open, make sure you have manual mode on and you point to the right dll and right tot file, could be zv7 zv8 or zva.
Click the arrow to have the flash tool biin check the files. when that is ready, do this next part fast. Plug in your phone, and immeditaly press and hold Volume up and Power. Download mode should appear.
and you should be good from there! If you try to enter download mode by using volume and up without the cable plug in, you'll hit the factory reset menu which is tied to the recovery, it'll do nothing, only take you to recovery. I hope this is of some help!
Edit:try new boot loader or system flasher via twrp
proplem i faced is one button which used to enter recovery is damged
Flash stock Ignoring the unmonted ianot able to be mounted then change system partitions u will be able to mount

Click the arrow to have the flash tool biin check the files. when that is ready, do this next part fast. Plug in your phone, and immeditaly press and hold Volume up and Power. Download mode should appear.
and you should be good from there! If you try to enter download mode by using volume and up without the cable plug in, you'll hit the factory reset menu which is tied to the recovery, it'll do nothing, only take you to recovery. I hope this is of some help!

I'm now completely lost.....
Ok... So i made a little progress....
I am now able to boot into fastboot mode.... No recovery now tho. If someone can help me with manually pushing everything I need to restore my phone, it would make my day!
I'm having withdrawal symptoms now. LOL! I MISS MY PHONE!
Problem solved!
Flashed all the partitions 1by1 via fastboot, was able to then reboot into download mode. Now using LG FlashTool to return to stock! I am now a very happy camper after a week w/o my phone!

Glad to see you've fixed your problem! I myself haven't been around, had some down time to. My sim reader magically stopped working and then randomly started working days later. Anyway, congrats!!!

Glad you figured it out. I was about to basically explain the steps to do exactly what you did.
Welcome back to the land of the living!

After she got it the first time, which we both congratulated her for, something went completely wrong. She dug herself even deeper, but broke download mode. That was extremely fun to fix.
