Hi,
I just took my phone out of my bag and the screen was on and it's in 'htc download mode'
There's a menu but the vol up/down buttons don't respond so I can't get to 'reboot', it only responds to the power button. If I reboot the phone by holding down power, it just comes back to this screen.
Towards the bottom of the screen it says ' Security checking failed GT_CONNECT_FAIL'
Any ideas what has happened and how I get out of this?
Thanks
Pete

the display ONLY works when i press power on vol up & down. when im in the setup the phone or screen is getting freezed.. is it a software problem? how can i flash a new rom or something when i cant see anything when pressing power on vol down (boot menu?) i read i have to navigate to "fastboot" and then flash with usb.. but i have a black screen of sh*t
are there screenshots about the menus where i could count the clicks to hit the points? or do you know the problem i got? - the display seems to work correct. allways i press the vol up down with power on the screen gets on
hi
i recently updated the firmware on my device and when i rebooted it, it didn't go into fast boot. I have tried holding the power button for 30 secs to 1 min but the strange thing is, i am able to change the volume and at one point I could tap the screen and hear keypad noises. i can also access the storage on my computer.
any ideas to exit this?
thanks
Try holding power button and volume up for about 30 seconds or so. When the screen goes dark to reboot, let go of those buttons and just hold volume down. Don't let go until the bootloader screen appears.
If it didn't work, it means you either pressed vol down too late, or let go of it too early. Just try again.
This usually works when folks have issues getting into bootloader.
I fixed it by holding the power button in then pressing the screen. I guess I hit shutdown
Hey there,
So I had my Galaxy S tablet completely bricked. No boot loop. No "stuck on logo" issue, just completely off and nothing was turning it on. I found a thread here that had all of the different button combo options and I tried them all until finally getting this thing into download mode. When prompted I pressed the volume down button to exit download mode and let the tablet reset automatically as was to be expected. Or at least enter the charging screen while remaining powered down. I'm plugged into my PC and after pressing the volume down button I was taken to a screen with the green Android logo and the text beneath reading "Downloading.../Do not turn off target!!" as well as some technical info in the top right corner informing me that I am in Odin mode.
It has been on this screen for over 15mins now. How long do I have to wait before the device will either shut down properly, restart, etc? And what exactly is being downloaded even though I exited download mode.
Thanks!
Hey, so I was messing around with my phone and using TWRP, I deleted the original ROM and then, having forgotten that I'd deleted the ROM, tried to reboot the phone. My phone is now stuck on the HTC splash screen (which at the bottom has the text "This build is for development purposes only...") and won't turn off, despite me holding the power button for probably 1+ minutes. I'm planning to wait until the battery dies, then once I can boot again try to get into TWRP by holding the power button and volume down. Does anyone know if there's a way I can get to TWRP without having to wait until the battery dies (my phone is at full charge), or whether this will not work and I should try something else?
Thanks in advance!
Press and hold power & volume up buttons until the screen turn black then release both buttons and quickly press & hold volume down button only. This will get you to hboot

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to rescue the contacts of a S4 mini with a completely broken screen (just black). I found some post stating:
First remove battery and reinsert, then press volume down, home and power button at once until the device vibrates, release and push volume up. Connect USB and flash the TWRP recovery with Odin. After removing/reinserting battery press volume up home and power. It should be in MTP mode.

As I can't see what happens on the phone I tried it several times but no luck. What happens is:
I press all the mentioned keys until it vibrates and when I release the buttons to press volume up, it vibrates again and a few seconds later the Samsung jingle is playing (I guess this is normal booting). Any idea, what I'm doing wrong?

depends what was causing your blank/black screen. If the cable has come loose then it will not work until it's reinserted.
What caused the black screen? Did you drop it?
Is there any sign of power in the screen? Is the black screen you mention caused by "no power" or "no image", do you think?
If no power seems to be getting to screen then you should take the back off and the inner cover and check the connectors, as first step. But could be other hardware failure (if not software).
