My phone recently got bricked to the point where i could not restore it myself, therefor i sent it to the place i bought it and they managed to repair that but unfortunately a new problem appeared then, now the home button does not work at all and the lock/power button only works half, its the same either im in recovery mode or if im fully booted up. I can turn on the phone after alot of tries but it doesnt seem like it works at all when it booted, i cant do the 3 button combo because the home button doesn't work but i can get in their by rebooting in to recovery mode. I can't flash anything in cwm since i cant select anything with the home button not working, can i restore a backup with a different method?. To me it seems like an hardware issue but i have no idea. I havn't been able to find a solution my self and i would like to avoid sending it in again.
Save your apps.
Reboot in recovery with a software and use Odin to reflash.
Reply me for more info
I guess you mean download mode? not recovery?
I can't seem to get it into that, i tried with adb with the command "adb reboot download" but that just reboots it normally
If the buttons aren't working properly in recovery mode how can software fix this then ? I think the only option is a replacement

Thats what i think aswell, but it seems strange that it would happend. The guy who fixed the phone said he had no problems with it, i doubt he would lie. And i dont think it would happend under transportation, it was solid packed.
if the home button doesnt work it's maybe base firmware (bootloader) who is damaged.
Let me explain
Here we have the boot process of android phones.

the base firmware that i talked (the bootloader) detect the hardware but if it doesnt do it it's because it's damaged.
It's my theory but it can be false.
I advise you to save your apps with TB and reflash with Odin with PIT 512
Please reply me
Thanks for the reply, good post.
But i can't seem to get into download mode, not even with adb, it just reboots normally.
I have ordered a USB jig but it will take a while before it gets here, i'm looking into making one my self i just have to get a resistor.
It appears it is a hardware problem, if you press real hard on the home button it will register it, i managed to flash another ROM but it did nothing. I guess i have to replace the button my self or get it repaired by the place i got it or a shop that specializes in Android phones.

Hi guys,
I 've seccesfully used JM7+Voodoo lagfix and I decided to flash the jm7 again because of the bug in Voodoo beta 3 which keeps the processor 100% all time long.
According to the instructions on voodoo lagfix website, you have to convert the filesystem from ext4 to RFS again, I did it succesfully.
Then I used odin, put the phone in download mode, usb cable and START on odin.
Problem is that odin was:
when I pushed start I got an error , and it didn't start, removed cable.Start again in download mode, start odin, then start again...
It did start but it was stuck on "do not turn off target!!!" for few minutes. So I had to stop it ( odin was running locally but my csc modem and code files were on a samba share, never took so long before )
Now when I turn on the phone I get an image like:
a pc and a mobile phone with an orange triangle with an exclamation point into it
and it won't start.
I have just the samsung usb drivers installed, and before doing this I did remove kies to save some space on C:
This is the first time it is behaving like this.
Did I brick the phone?
Thanks in advance any help is really appreciated.
P.s. at the moment I am installing kies again, download updates, and I ll try odin again.
you mean like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/GT-I9000

and now this?
all you need to do is go back to the download mode, which is this
then you can flash with Odin again
make sure all files are local
I mean the second image you posted mate.
Now it looks better guys!
I have reinstalled kies and used odin succesfully again.
Thanks again.

How were you able to get back to download mode? I did the same as you (unplugged when a flashing froze up) and can't get back to download mode..
Just that terrible 'orange triangle with exclamation mark' connect to PC symbol (does anyone know the technical name for this screen?)

i just bought the captivate off my friend for 150 the problem is when you turn the phone the screen stays on the att world phone screen and then you can hear sound but the screen stays the same and it doesnt change so i was wondering if there is a way to fix this
Do you know if your friend kept it stock?
honestly i have no clue but i believe he did
Sounds like he didn't and that's why he sold it so cheap. Go to this thread and get the tools you will be needing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439. Install the drivers then download the .zip and extract the files, download the pda.tar. Run Odin as administrator put the pda.tar in the pda slot and the pit file in the pit slot.
Next power off the phone and remove the SIM, your external sd card and battery. Plug the usb cable into the computer only then press and hold the volume up and down buttons at the same time, don't touch power, put the battery in and plug the usb into the phone. You should be in download mode, Odin should see your phone push start and let Odin run. This will take you to a working phone, just like it was when it came from AT&T.
Good luck and let us know if it works.
First of can you should never have paid him for the phone if it wasn't fully working when you got it.
Second can you get into download mode? If so then get the one click odin and flash back to stock and you will have a working phone. If you can't get into download mode then demand your money back from him and drop him as a friend.

I linked him to c3poLOL's Odin package instead that way if he has a borked three button combo this will fix that too. I agree, not a good friend, sounds like he soft bricked it before selling it. Should be fixable and then it's a steal, if it was off contract.
You sure he is a friend
Captivate
Cog 2.2
this didnt work because the phone did not show up on my computer even after i installed the drivers and odin
Try using a different usb port on your pc, one in the back where the motherboard is, perhaps you need more power, I've seen this happen. Are you familiar with adb? Are you able to get into download or recovery mode using the three button combo. ADB will work from the recovery screen.
I had the same issue today someones rom screwed up my phone and it would boot up with sound, but be stuck at the att screen. Wasnt able to activate download mode with buttons or adb, because permissions werent granted. So my advice for anyone else that has this problem get superoneclick to root your device and get permissions ( I used Z4 root which i will never do again) and run cmd.exe type in the path you have for example mine was C:\Users\PEGLEG\android-sdk-windows\tools\adb shell (modify it for where you have yours, then type in reboot download, and you should get into the download screen where odin will fix your device.
my phone is also "frozen" at a boot up screen.

My sons UK i9000 has a problem, the touch keys were not working and the screen was cracked., so a replacement part was bought and new screen fitted.
The phone booted fine, but the new touch keys did not work, so we tried to update the touch key firmware with *#*#2663#*#* but then the phone refused to boot.
We tried to reflash to a stock rom, which went all ok with odin, but the phone never got past the galaxy s screen.
We have tried loads of different stock and custom roms, including darky's ressurection, but they all either boot to the galaxy s screen and go no further, or boot to the galaxy s screen then reboot after a short while.
Is there anything we can do, we can still access recovery and download mode.
Many thanks.
did you flash the official rom using the ".pit" file? i can only suggest this and this
hope it helps

Many thanks for the links, tried the gingerbread rom you linked to, phone boots to galaxy s screen, stays there for a while, then constant reboots again.
I'm having the same problem as OP.
Does anybody have any other ideas?
Flash stock JVT firmware (check repartition) use 512 pit, flash Semaphore kernel. Go into CWM recovery, do a factory wipe. It should be good.
Nope, same problem, everything passes ok in odin, but the phone still reboot loops.
Would a faulty touch key cable cause it to do this or maybe something more serious?
Many thanks.
put your device in download mode and use this:

I tried to recover my galaxy s I9000 using odin, i had the 512 pit file and stock rom image 2.2froyo, and now mine doesnt even come on anymore, i could get it to go into download mode when the flash failed by taking the battery out unplugging usb, then plug usb in, hold both volume buttons and insert the battery, that worked for me until odin had succeeded, everything was correct, I did days and days of research about it before I went through with it, but now that it successfully flashed, the phone no longer enters download mode or see's any ounce of life, would the jig still work to force the phone to come on?
Tried the one click, first attempt it boots to the first GT I9000 and stays there.
Then tried with flash bootloaders ticked, but bootloops again.
Starting to loose faith in this phone.
if your son's phone was previously on Froyo, you may need to tick "flash bootloaders" in OneClick...
Hi Guys,
I'm having strange troubles with my galaxy S1 i9000
Problem: Phone wil auto reboot as soon as you put in the battery no buttons have to be pushed anymore to make it boot up !
When it boots up it only does that for a few seconds, just enough to see the samsung logo then it goes off again.
Download mode is to be accessed but only for a few seconds, no mather what it shuts down completely and starts over.
Recovery mode is not working at all !
Download mode: time too short for my pc to recognize the usb device.
How did this happen ? The phone was currently running on ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000 with no major problems !
I only had some problems with use of few apps and the camera but that was fixed with a fix permissons setting. (that was earlier that day)
The error occured during the charging of the battery that evening, it just started booting over and over
The only way to stop this is pulling out the battery, but when it is inserted again it starts rebooting again.
Also I opened up the phone to look inside for dirt or other problems also cleaned out the usb port and other holes with compressed air. the inside looks okay to me all buttons feel fine too.
I already searched this forum about this problem there were few who had 'similar' problems but they were lucky to have warranty my phone is beyond that I supose with 2 years of age
The ones with warranty send it back to repairs and got it working again after a software mod and an hardware replacement they do not know or said what the hardware replacement was...
Hopefully there is someone who know's this problem and can suggest how i can fix this ?
Thanks in advance !
Does the download more works? Try to push VolDown+Home+Power even if it is
in this bootloop. After some time I think it must show the yellow logo of download
mode... Did you try it?

Yes I tried this... As I said it will go into download mode (with the yellow logo) but only for a few seconds then it reboots !
I also tried it with a Jig but with same result
I had the same problem yesterday, running off FW 2.3.6 . Kies wanted to update the firmware, but it stopped after 15 %, and basically trashed the OS.
Phone kept booting by itself, and shut off by itself.
The trick here was to take out sim, and mem card, use VOL UP ( not down ) , select ( bottom ) and then power.
Then i could do a factory reset ( you get the screen with the options )and with Odin i could load a old 2.3.4 FW.
maybe this helps ?
GR r
Well i've made some progress in the rebooting problem !
The phone is not auto-booting anymore it just stopped doing that after continiously trying to get it in download or recovery mode.
However I got it in download mode and was able to flash the rom to stock via odin !
Now the device is working again but there still is one problem the on/off switch seems to be broken !
Once it rebooted via odin it could not be turned off the normal way, only by pulling out the battery.
So I opened up the phone again and found out that on the flatwire towards the on/off switch it has a tiny round scratchmark probably caused by the leverage witch holds the plastic button in place on the edgecasing of the phone.
I'l try to get a picture of this here:

}
On the left side you have the button, al little to the right in the flatwire there is a dark spot ! that is where the wire is damaged !
So if anyone knows where I can buy a new powerbutton ? Feel free to contact me
Already ordered parts online ! so I think the phone will be fine next week !
Thanks for the help and suggestions !
Hi everybody,
On my OnePlus 8 Pro 256 GB 100% original, I just did the latest official OxygenOS 12.1 update, download OK, then reboot and when restarting the phone remains on the OnePlus logo with the vibrator vibrating intermittently...
I stopped it then restarted, several reboots, always the same...nothing to do..
I am disgusted
Ideas ? help please..
If I long press the start button, this is what I get :

Use MSM tool, go back to Android 11 and try again, use oxygen updater app to download the full image and local upgrade. Everything you need is in XDA itself, just a search away.
Can I keep my data with MSM tool?

Can you boot into safe mode? Try pressing reboot long and press safe mode.
I am kind of in the same situation, but now already in a state in which I cannot even get this screen anymore.
Can you still access via adb?
I'm not good at all with customising phones, but I have access to recovery and fastboot mode...
Please try booting in safe mode first. You can do that from the screen in your topic start as explained. Let me know what happens
Please could you give me the link for the start-up procedure in safe mode ?
Now I have a bug, when I push volume + and - and start button when booting, I go on Fastboot mode , this mode is unusable because the colored part at the top of the screen scrolls automatically (Start>>Power off>>Show Barcode>>recovery Mode>>restart bootloader>>start...) without being able to select any mode.

I just did: Try pressing reboot long and press safe mode.
Sorry if you are this ignorant than I cannot help you. This is the last chance
impossible to go to Android then impossible to long press reboot...
You cannot get into the state of your picture in the first post? Press "Redemarrer" long
Sorry I wasn't understanding, effectivly I could reboot in safe mode by long press but sadly when restarting the phone remains on the OnePlus logo with the vibrator vibrating intermittently and don't goes to android home screen...
Do you know another way to keep my data ?
I just did a "adb pull /dev/block/sda23" to save the data partition.. But I don't know if I will ever be able to read it, since it is encrypted
it's impossible to downgrade update ?
