About to blow my f**king phone up. Please help.

Ok SOooooooooooo really annoyed with phone. I need to flash a stock rom on and cant get into odin mode because the power button is broke. Its stuck on. I put the battery in phone boots. restarts a lot because of it. Any ideas how to get it flashed in the like 10 seconds it takes for it to hard reset??

A USB jig will get you into download mode. Also check if your ROM has an option for it.

first thing, calm down. lol damn
and I dont know of any other way to get into odin if your power button is broke unless you have a jig. have you tried looking for a program called "mobile odin"? Its in the play store. That may help you out

I have mobil odin. Im not to sure how to use it to get back to a stock/unrooted.

Let your ROM boot up, then in Terminal on your phone, or on your computer if you have ADB up and running, type: "su" (without quotes), then "reboot download".

Download connectbot from the market
Choose local for a client, name it su
Code:
$SU
#reboot download
Now your in download mode
Edit: you beat me to it lol

Check sfhub's EL29 Odin OC thread. There he tells you what to do with mobile Odin and how to unroot.

If the power button is stuck then whatever you do its going to keep off and onning, right? Regardless of what you flash it with or how, you need to fix this... Time to get the soldering gun out i think..

I doubt he can boot into the rom if power button is stuck. Looks like an infinite loop of hard resets once the battery is inserted.

Thanks. Im going to try the mobil one now. Ill let you guys know how it works. Otherwise Im getting some anfo and Im blowing up. I dont care.

Im going to go to sprint and get a new one. Once the boot animation starts itll boot up and be in the room. But if i move it too much it restarts. Ive never micro solderd so if i can get a stock rom it real fast ill just take it in.

Wait, can't you pull battery then hold volume down (and power) then stick battery in to get to download mode then toggle volume up real fast to get to Odin mode? Once you are in Odin mode I don't think power button gets you out. Then Odin stock

It will take you out of download mode. It's not supposed to but it can happen.

I tried it and holding down power will reboot the phone, even in download mode. I can't think of any way around it. It needs to be taken in and repaired/replaced. You can't get the phone to run long enough to flash anything if the power is stuck pushed.

Yea if power is stuck holding it down will always restart the device so even in download mode flashing with odin isnt the best idea because if it restarts during odin flash might hard brick the device

What does the rom have to do with a hardware issue? Just take the phone in.

grab a needle or something and dig in and unstick the power button. ive had to do that on a few cell phones in past years

no there is no recovery not rooted. he was using original stock firmware.

Maybe a brief description of the events leading up to the current state of the phone would help.

If he ain't rooted I would suggest to contact htc or his carrier support. If he got his phone for less than two weeks ago he can go to his carrier and change it. It's htc policy.

he bought the phone from china a month ago. now we are in turkey. at first phone was working good but sometimes rebooting. now it is not working, on charching there is no led, not opening. for example for my xperia i can use flashtool programme and install firmwares to my phone via pc, is there any programme for one x ?
Edit: phone has international warranty for one year. but it takes here for 3-4 months.

Is it a fake one x maybe ?

May be the power supply damaged? Have you try to recharge with another?

Rooting without USB

I recently got a used T-Mobile S 2 and just tried to root it. The computer will not see the phone when I hook it up to the USB. I've tried the Odin method and it won't even register it's plugged in. I've installed and reinstalled kies 3 times and I've even tried just installing the drivers by themselves. Is there a way to root the phone without having to use the USB? I'm guessing the USB connector on the phone is bad even though it's charges just fine.

If it charges ur fine, is the device in DL mode? What is the procedure u are using, with this phone the only way to root it is Odin, or maybe adb but I'm not sure, and if u have kies installed on ur pc Odin won't see the phone I repeat remove kies, once ur rooted u will never use it again anyway kies interferes with Odin, make sure u have the OEM USB cord too...

I'm using the volume up+down with the power button to access the download screen with Odin and it never reads that the phone is plugged in. I've uninstalled Kies and still doesn't work. Now I've noticed that I can only go into the e3 recovery mode.

So the phone accesses doenlode mode? Try holding just the vol+vol- buttons and plugging it in to the USB while connected to PC, that should put u in DL mode, if not it might be ur port, have u tried all other ports and different usb wires? Sorry if my questions are trivial but I need all the info if I'm going to help

Yeah I've tried 3 different cables and 2 different computers. I'm leaning towards the USB Jack. I took the phone apart and found corrosion on the board towards the bottom so it looks like the phone has some water damage.

Thats most likely ur culprit then, it may be just corroded enough to not hit the right pins to push data through odin, u could try to replace the USB com, u can get one for around 30bucks online and its an easy fix if u have a lil knowledge, the bad news is without it rooting is next to impossible ...

I mean if u don't want to try the fix u could try rooting it through wireless adb but that's a long shot at best, just started using wireless adb an not even sure if its possible to root it like that but u could look into it...

Rooted Phone won't boot, can't access recovery or download mode.

Hello,
Today my phone randomly turned off by itself, and when I turned it back on, it got to the samsung screen and then went black. After I tried again/pulled the battery, it did the same thing. I can access recovery and download modes, but when I tried to restore my phone, my phone ****s off before the process can commence. Since the phone barely stays on for 5 seconds, I can't get Odin to see my phone. Please help. My phone is rooted, but I never installed a custom ROM. I'm still stock.

Try to pull the battery, then plug in the USB. You should be able to enter download mode without the restart.

Doesn't work. When I plug it in without the battery, the charging light comes on, then turns off, then the mini vibration happens. But I never get a samsung screen. Can't access download mode at all without the battery.

That did happen to me before. I'm trying to remember how I repaired it. When the battery is in, and turned on. Is it rebooting alot or stuck on the Samsung screen?

The samsung screen will come up, disappear, and then the phone doesn't do anything again. I have to pull the battery to get it to turn on again.

Have you had trouble with the USB staying connected with the PC before?

Hmm. I'm stumped. Sorry. I had the very same issue with my i777. I had the Odin screen on while I fiddled wth the USB connection at the phone until it finally stayed connected long enough to push a recovery to it. Although it doesn't appear you have the same issue. I figured I'd throw it out there. Again. I'm sorry I can't help further.

Not to my knowledge, I can still push it just fine.

There have been more than a few instances where someone would have similar issues where if would shut off after a few seconds. Most times it would reboot itself over and over, but for a few people it would just shut down.
Most of the cases I've seen, it turned out to be something keeping the button in contact causing it to trigger the switch.
Sometimes it was the button itself got jammed, others the button felt ok, maybe a bit loose, but under it it was essentially pushed in. A couple have apparently just had a bad switch or a short.
May or may not be the case here, but thought I'd go ahead and mention it.

Some people simply opened up the phone and reseated the button. Others had to buy a new button and replace themselves. Some sent it in to a repair shop to have it done for them and a couple who suspected it was an issue with a switch or a short on the board I don't think were ever able to fix it.
One guy got mad at his and slammed it on the table. After that he said it worked fine! I do NOT recommend this!!! But I have fixed stereos, VCR's, CD players, and all sorts of electronic equipment with this method! I would never attempt it with this fragile screen though!

What I recommend is that you go to a phone service centre that does JTAG, that way they can diagnose and repair the motherboard

I can't be so sure, but to me it sounds like the motherboard, if you have used triangle away before and have a clean flash counter you could send your device to Samsung for service and repair?

I was under the impression that Sudden Death couldn't happen to US variants and they they had fixed it in the updates, guess I was wrong. Gonna have my friend look at it, if he can't fix it i'll send it to T-Mobile.

when you try to access dl mode you get the option to continue or reboot, choose reboot and long press home and volume up, this will cause recovery to boot up (I sometimes have trouble getting it to boot with my problem without this method) then flash your rom again or flash a firmware package. this will at least get you into your rom for the time being. Then you can work from there.

did you try taking battery out for about a minute then putting back in and trying to boot to recovery?

Phone died - Very peculiar case

So last night I went to check my phone and it was off so I figured it had gone off on its own but upon trying to turn it on again I found that nothing was working. I plugged it in and got no response. Took out the battery, tried to boot to download mode, or reboot and have tried just about everything to be found online. I left it plugged in all night and nothing. I called samsung and their suggestion was to hold the power button pressed down for a few seconds so after that extremely well thought out suggestion didn't work they said that I'll have to take it in on monday as their service places here are closed during the weekends.
my problem is that I haven't backed up my info and I can't afford to lose it and they said that they will wipe it once they get their hands on it. I don't have a second battery to test but I just plugged it into my computer and it was recognized as a USB device. Nothing more, not what it is and doesn't show up anywhere and nothing has happened on the phone but at least it was recognized.
This is the most messed up issue I have every encountered and it happened entirely on its own. Im all stock and am running purely simple apps like viber and whatsapp and seriesguide and family guy. Its the most mild mannered phone and has the most messed up issue. Its like someone sucked the electricity from it. Please give me some ideas
