OK guys, long story short my mates galaxy ace won't boot up, randomly turned off one day and booted to recovery, power button doesn't work so can't select reboot, my theory is power button is stuck in? It also has a message about csc error which is new to me.
If I flash stock rom through odin, it should reboot automatically right? However can I change the startup button because if the phone turns off it won't boot again unless I flash again through Odin which is a pain. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advanced guys

if u still have your warranty, you can get it to a service center... they would fix the power button..
My friend bought the phone off a private seller so no such warranty :/ thanks for the reply however

If You Insert The Battery Charger Plug Whyle Holding The Center Button ... The Phone Will Turn On
I have this common problem with the ace, low internal memory. Ive done all the system resets, app2sd, clear cache, uninstall stuff, move to sd etc Done it all and it won't sort out the problem. So after hours of googling, the solution appears to be rooting.
I have a 32gb sd card and want it filled with apps and games so im 90% sure on rooting. But how safe is it? how easy? does it work? someone said i can root my phone so my sd card can act as the internal memory. But if i do this, can i still eject my sd card, put it in my computer and take files off there? should i root? someone said there is a 1superclick to root and de root, anyone?
I know its a lot of questions but any help is great.
Thanks
For me rooting was easy, i used a different program, but the end result is the same. Yes there are scripts etc that will enable you to use a partition on the sd for apps. The main thing to remember is to back up your existing Rom just in case. If you look thru the forums here, there are tutorials on rooting and installing a custom recovery. Welcome to the forums

I rooted mine by flashing this file through the stock recovery.
I don't remember a lot about the stock recovery but if you can, before rooting, backup your ROM.
Download the above file and put it on the root of your SD card (ie. NOT in a folder)
Boot into recovery mode by powering off your device and then powering on holding power+home.
in recovery you can scroll through the options using your volume buttons and select an option by pressing the home button. pressing the power button will take you back a screen.
Choose apply update from sd card option
Scroll through until you find the AceGingerRoot.zip
Press the home button to apply the update.
Now when you reboot the system you should see an android pirate icon in your app drawer. This app should be called SuperUser.
From here on out, you can use app2sd scripts, unlock your phone if desired, change your recovery image (CWM 5 is recommended), play with custom ROMs, etc.
Be warned that your WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED and that I TAKE ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE (though if you follow the directions, nothing bad should happen.)
STAY AWAY FROM ROM MANAGER. IT KILLS ACES.
If AceGingerRoot.zip does not work, try this file instead: upd_1.zip
if that one fails use root.zip

I cant put my phone into reovery mode, it keeps turning off instead
With your phone off, push and hold the home button ( square button @ bottom of screen ) then push the power button. This will take you into recovery. The volume button will scroll and the home button will allow you to chose your options.

Turn off your device and leave it for a few seconds.
Power on holding power and home buttons together.
When the Samsung logo appears, let go of power and continue holding home.
You should see a screen with blue text, touch will be disabled. That is recovery mode. When you see this, you can let go of home and scroll with volume up/down. Use there home button to select an option.

If you are running stock rom you may have to uncheck fastboot in your settings. Been awhile since i have been on stock, and forget exactly where to find it.

I keep trying, ive read the same instructions everywhere and seen videos but it wont do it. ive done it exactly the way its said and tried 20 times, no sucess
The program i used for root is called Unlock Root ( google it ). Its pretty simple to use. Just follow the instructions. It should work. Again its something you do at your own risk, i am not responsible if something goes wrong. Good luck.

I have done lots of reading and there is so much information, but after all that, not being technically minded I didn't feel confident myself so I sent my phone to a guy on ebay who Unlocked, Rooted, Installed a better ROM (Looks like Jellybean on the Galaxy S2) and fixed my low memory issues using appstosd, reasonable value as well, if it helps anyone else this is the ebay listing cgi.ebay.co.uk\221232033776 Regards, Mike

Hello,
I have a unlocked Galaxy S 3 Mini which I bought in the UK, after flashing TWRP I noticed that I couldn't boot into recovery with the key combination at boot. Only by selecting "Recovery" from the reboot menu of certain roms or by using adb, but both require that the phone is functional. I'm mainly worried about if the phone happens to be non-functional and I'm unable to get to a useable state.
Is there any other way to boot into recovery or a fix for this problem?

Make sure to charge phone to 100% before doing. After you flashed, you can then flash your favorite rom and still retain the 3 button combo.

Install the S3 Mini toolkit then install from the toolkit the 3 button combo.. It should flash something with Odin3.

Ok, so, after flashing the recovery to my gear while it is in download mode I held down the power key and got it to the menu with download, recovery, and continue. and i selected recovery and it should show the TWRP logo, right? it doesnt. it just turns off. and if i hold down the power key it just reboots normally into the stock gear android interface. am i doing something wrong???
It seems like your doing everything right but some where your missing something AU

I've always found the power button methods a bit hit and miss. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 goes of what seems like doing the same thing before it works.
The easiest and fastest way to get into recovery for me is to connect to the pc and type
adb reboot recovery
